PATRIOTS AND PATRIOTS

At the present time the republican
and Independent newspapers of the
north are rejoicing over the transfer Of
Elihu Root from the cabinet to the
Senate, and lauding him as Il patriot Of
the highest and noblc5t type. But the
fact that the same class of newspapers
continue to lainbast Senator Foraker
and are apparently determined to cast
him into outer darkness on the ground
that he is a corporation lawyer, is some
what shocking to the American sense
of justice and fair play.
There is no man i'll the country who
has n longer or perhaps a more unscru-
pulous record As Il trust lawyer than
Elihu Root. Senator Forakcr's service
to the corporations palcs into insig-
n~iiicancc compared to- that of Root. who
for more than 20 years has been OH the
pay roll of some of the most powerful
trusts domiCiled in New York and
whose fertile brain prepared the plans
under which a number of the greatest
feats of financial bucancering this
country has aver known were success.
fully accomplished.
All things considered, it is quite
absurd as well as ycontcmptiblc for the
guardians of public morals to continue
to smite Senator Foraker when he is
down, and hail Root us the dclivcrcr of
the people from the. hands Of the trust
magnatcs and lootcrs. Tho truth is,
his greatest achievements in professional
and political life have been the selling
out Of the people, and to that purpose
he may he depended on to devote him.
self when he takes his seat in the senate.
Therefore to dcnounce Foraker while
praising Root is to strain at n gnat and
