INToLERARLE INTERFERENCE

President Roosevelt may be given
credit for sincerity In his unwarrant-
ed Interference in California and Ne
yada legislation. but his activity in at
tempting to dictate what laws a state
shall pass and those Il should not
pass, Is not adding to his popularity
az the time for his retirement from
the presidency draws nearer. He has
antagonlzed congress until he has but
few friends left among the senators
and representatives. aud his interfer-
enee with the affairs OF various states
has lost him many friends; his antag-
onism TO many other interests adds TO
tEs list OF those who have had enough
OF Teddy. In fact during his past
years administration he has fallen
from one OF the most popular to the
class Of unpopular presidents, Yet the
country has received much benefit
from his administration and when the
balance Insect IL struck the good that
Roosevelt has done will overbalance
his mistakes.
In the California case he has ex-
ceeded his authority. and his activity

siders antagoniatlc to the Japanese
