THE NET RESULT OF THE SWING

uust ne kickeu up naNlng settieu on his trail, the citizen can now rub his eyes and begin to figure on the results of this extraordinary per formance and what he accomplished, says the Fl Paso Times.
 Mir. Roosevelt himself declared that a magazine which paid him a dollar a word for his stories writ. ten from Africa and to which he is widely advertised as a contributing editor is paying for the trip. We are persuaded that MT. Roosevelt nor his magazine desired this information to get out because it is not creditable to either, but he let it slip in a moment of anger and the admission resulted in weak, ening the influence of his speeches.
 It showed MT. Roosevelt in the undignified and unhecoming light of commercializing his career and as willing to take advantage of his at traction for the people and their ad- miration for him, their confidence in him to boost the circulation of a publication and this, too. while pos ing as the political adviser of his courtrymen and 6 philosopher and friend to the American people.
 Sifted down there was nothing in his series of speeches of specific character as to the proper remedy for the economic ills; there was nothing of a definite nature to lead the pubic to believe that his purpose was to either eschew republican doc trines or to reform or forsake the re publican party and there was nothing definite or tangible to base a hope that he would lead his party to aban- don it's protection policy
 In one speech with his ambiguity concealed under a mass of cunning verbiage and imitation vir- tue and indignation, he would have the county believe that he was ready to forsake all party allegiance to lead the people out of the wilder ness; in the next all glory and honor and virtue were ascribed to the re- publican party
 And So it went the long way iround a chain of glittering gener- lities, platitudes and antiquities hat left the minds of the people in whirl, every political theory and economic wrong up in the air; here lcting the boor and doing violence o every rule and principle of the amenities and there dropping fine sentiments, but nowhere committing himself to a definite code or definite Ene of action.
 It was "hooray" from the begin ling 10 the end with onIy two op, ects in yiew-to boost the circula. ion of the publication that was pay. rg his expenses and to make the American people believe that there Tas but one doctor who could cure he economic ills of the public and | nly one Moses who could lead the eople out O. the wilderness.
 Now, that the circus is over the | eople are beginning to see that it | fas all tinsel and paint and powder ali Lcr the benefit of Roosevelt as
 publicity agent and a political self. eeker.
 One thing Mir. Roosevelt has prov n beyond all question and all doubt i Q those who followed him on his | rip and studied his Delphic oracle 1 eliverances and that is that he is I aore fakir than philosopher and more i than hero-great in prom se, poor in performance. ready to f orsake 2 friend regardless of obliea- ion; ready with great pretence at lrtue to denoGnce corruption, un- 1iodful of the fact that behind him iways and boosting him up the adder with the most corrupt gang | nd interruptions aggregation that yer combined to elevate any poli- Ician to office. who did not hesitate demand their price and who got in one form or another.
