the New York World finds these un-
truthful and malicious things to say
about him:
We often wonder if Mr.. Roosevelt
mas any real convictions about the
tariff Or any real principals. He
goes out West to tell the people that
when we get 'a crooked DEAL" the
tariff is ''moral issue" He comes
back to New York to assure the people
that the Payne Aldrich law was re-
vision downward, and that the tariff
cannot be held responsible for the in
crease in the cost of living. He is
going to make a speech for Senator
Beveridge, in Indiana, where the Re-
publican convention refused to in
dorse the Payne-Aldrich act, and Be-
veridge is fighting for his political
life because he voted against it. He
is likewise going to Massachusetts to
make a speech for Senator Lodge,
who is one of the pillars in the
Aldrich-Payne temple.
Mr.. Roosevelt has Topped again on
the tariff. After Senator Cummins, of
iowa, had voiced the protest of West
rern insurgents against the Payne AL
drich platform. Mr.. Roosevelt told
Brooklyn audience that if he had been
I'm as complete control of the conven-
ton as his critics claimed. 81 should
have written the tariff blank different
iy." He was in absoluted control.
He named the platform committee him
self, in violation of all precedents.
AS temporary chairman of the conven.
tion he removed four members of the
committee and substituted delegates
personally acceptable to himself. He
had made rough draft of the plat
form before he left Sycamore Hill.
"I have had disagreable duties to
perform" said Mr.. Roosevelt to his
Brooklyn audience Wednesday even
ing, "but when such duties came I
1gritted my teeth and did them.' Yes.
He hated to accept the s26O,OO0 cam
paign fund collected by Mr. Hartman,
7but he gritted his teeth and took it.
He hated to accept the $3.50, 900 cam
apaign contribution from the life in.
~surance companies, but he gritted his
teeth and took it.
He hated to let Mr. Cortelyou fry the
Eat from the sugar Trust, Beef Trust,
Coal Trust, Oil Trust, Paper Trust
and Steel Trust bat he gritted his
teeth and did it.
He hated to reject the Earle evidence
eon which the Sugar Trust has since
been prosecuted under Mr. Taft, but
ne gritted his teeth and did it,
He hated to commander 100000
worth of free transportation and re-
5-freshments from the Pennsylvania rail
road, but he gritted his teeth and did
it.
He hated to accept the aid and COM
fort Of the man whom he described
after the Mckinley assassination as
zsappealing ''to the dark and evil spl-
'srits of malice and greed, envy and sui
len hatred,' but he gritted his teeth
land did it.
In 1912 he will hate to break his
pledge of 1904 by being a candidate
again for president. But he will grit
his teeth
During the four years of Mr..
Roosevelt's second administration,
erom March 4, 1905, to March 4, 1909
he signed appropriation bills aggre-
eating 1882, ,9S2, ,Sl6.S7. The entire
expenditures of the national govern
ment from the Inauguration of Wash
angton in 1889, to the Inauguration of
Lincoln in 1861, we're only 81, 795, ,273,-
>344. .l4-half what one term of Roose-
veltism cost the American people.
Four years of Roosevelt involved
double the expenditures of seventy two
years under fifteen other presidents.
What is worse, the Roosevelt policy
sof extravaganza continues. Mr.. Taft
signed appropriation bills this year
that amounted to 81 ,098, 847 1884. This
means an expenditure of SO, ,567, ,6S5. sc
for every working-day of the year.
Senator Aldrich, chairman of the se-
mate finance committee, has said that
5000, 1000, 600 year could be saved in
athe cost of running the government by
"a business like administration. Mr..
Tawney, chairman of the house COM
Kmittee on appropriations, has shown
shat two-thirds of the Roosevelt ex-
spenditures went for military purpo-
sses Of one kind or another and Mr..
Roosevek yesterday began clamoring
Tor q still larger navy. The American
pe0ple pay for all this. It comes out
.of their savings, it comes out of their
capital. Mr.. Roosevelt's remedy is to
pile out the burdens and make the cost
