"TrREp OF Roosevelt" is the headline

"TrRED OF Roosevelt" is the headline
seen in the newspapers throughout the
country and individuals are Joining IN
the protest against the Remittance into
politics OF this disturbing and turbulent
man. Many will agree with cores
pondent OF the New York Tribune
who in Sundays issue writes as follows;
It would do you and some other
editors of republican newspapers good
il you would get around among the
different classes Of men and learn Their
opinion OF the campaign OF Colonel
Roosevelt to get back into power again.
You may think that the advertising
schemes and methods OF the Roosevelt
brand OF politicians are the right thing
and so they are, to draw crowds and
to impose upon the unthinking and the
ignorant. AS a steady, consistent voter
for the republican party for the last
twenty years, find that the majority
OF us, who are in the ranks" and wh"
are not seeking place or office, but who
do the voting are getting rather tired
Of Roosevelt and his policies. There
is too wide a difference between his &C
tons and his preachings. His present
crusade to rule in New York state is
bound to end in disaster to the party.
Then why should The Tribune support
a man who is riding to defeat? Of
course, if your paper wants to clean
house." and if you want defeat IN
order to keep Roosevelt from being the
big boss, your present support OF his
scheming may help bring that about

The expenditures OF the federal
government under the extravagant
administration OF the party in power
are now greatly in excess OF three
million dollars per day. This is a
frightiul drain upon the earnings oil
the people, and goes far to increase
the cost OF living in the United States.
In 80 far, however, as the money IS
expended for proper purposes for
value received there is some excuse.
It is not so much the money drained
from the pockets OF taxpayers and
which finds its way into the federal
treasury, however much it may cN-
coed in amount the sum OF proper
outlay, that arouses popular indigna-
ton. It is the vaster authorized tax
alton which goes out of the pockets
OF the taxpayers into the pockets OF
protected favorites. For every dollar
paid into the public funds there arc
Ave dollars paid to the interested
gentry who control the action OF
Congresses and make the tariff rates.
This" rs we'll says the Philadelphia
Record, is where the shoe pinchcs.
This is tho explanation of the pre-
yailing insurgency. This is the prl-
NAL cause of the high cost OF living.
The grievance under which the ma
ton groans sufficiently points the way
to remedy. We must cut off the sub
sides which we are paying to blood
suckers. We must turn out our ras-
Gals and turn on the light.

ment:
"The progressives are emphatically
