himself OF the charges may be judged.
The matter OF using public office for personal
gain, is very delicate question and it is hard to
draw the line. What a few years ago was looked
upon as legitimate in public man is now
frowned upon. The Roosevelt era has set
standard far different from that accepted before
the rise of Roosevelt.
The enemies of the President are making as
saults upon him for employing the secret service
to discover derelctons of Senators and Congress-
men, To most people the practice is repugnant.
But in justification of the Presidents conduct
in this matter it must be admitted that certain
critics have accused him of many things and he
has merely examined the records of his critics.
If the Presidents efforts resulted in finding
nothing, he would stand discredited. But as a
matter of fact the Roosevelt administration has
unearthed many things which look ugly to the
public The anger and rage of his critics does
not obscure this fact
