Is ROOSEVELT IRONICAL4

Irony is not one of Colonel Roosevelt's fay-
orite weapons. He expresses himself after the
manner of i'm Jetfries, in bull-like rlshes, Even
when he becomes learned and pedantic, he knows
nothing of verbal rapiers. We WONDER there
fore, at the insouciance with which he occasion
ally makes remarks which he cannot expect that
anyone believe Either he is marvelously seri-
ous, or there is an edge to his wit SO fine that
it is invisible
Take. for instance, his recent meeting with the
men from Kansas, the arch-insurgents Among
them was Congressman Madison, he of the Bal
linger-P inchot investigating committee. Asked,
at the conclusion of his conference whether or
not ANYTHING had been said concerning Ballinger,
the Colonel replied:
''No, not hint of it. | hope you will make
that perfectly clear You see, Mr.. Madison is
a member of the committee of investigation,
and it would not do for me to do or say anything
that might in any way influence him or the
others who are 10 finally pass upon the con-
troversy,"
1t is sufficiently fantastic, this talk of the
Colonel's of not desiring TO prejudice case or
Influence court When President he openly at
tempted to put into practice Tim Carnpbell's CON
ception of the Constitution He would pack a
court as quickly as gambler would stack the
cards He would advise Judge or juror with
no more compunction than he would have in
whisting for his brndle bull dog. But, ridicu-
lous as that is it is not marker in absurdity to
the idea that any member of the Balllnger-Pin'
chot investigation has ever been open to influence
From the beginning, the committee was engaged
in solemn farce-5o farcical that even the pre-
tonsa 6f unpreiudiced hearings wore away long
before the testimony was concluded For the
ex.President, therefore, to suddenly for8ake the
habit of a life time and become sqneamish on a
point of this sort, in the case of a court whose
decision was made before it was appointed, and
which was appointed for the decision 1t would
make. is something that even Roosevelt ought
not to have done without a smile.
He did it, however. we suspect for the purpose
of seeing whether, a sporting proposition. 1t
was possible for him get past with it,

FIsHF PICTURES Nor WANTED

The result of the prize-ight has think,
brought this country to realization Of the fact
that enough is enough. The final chapter Of
disgrace has been concluded. Even Nevada will
not again tempt the anger of National deccncy
By outraging it. The prize-fght in America Is
already among the relics of barbarism put aside
BY advancing civilization. In few years this
weeks carnival of thuggery will he looked upon
with amazed curiosity, just as even now the
world regards the Spanish bull-fght with amaze
ment. Prize-fghting has been bad and de
grading habit. 4 season of abstinence will make
1t almost incredible to remember that it was
ever INDUCED.
This being true, il is to be hoped upon every
! consideration that there will be 10 moving pie
ture aftermath of disgusting spectacle. The
result Of the fight itself has already brought
about a revival of the slumbering antagon-
ism which constantly threatens the country. TO
present in hundreds of theatres exact repro
ductions of the contest could not fail TO further
fan and keep alight this prejudice In localities
which have already been disgraced by fight riots
the suppression of the pictures is justified IA n
step taken under the police power in the inter-
es. Of the public peace In communities such
as Richmond, where there was no trouble and
no likelihood OF trouble, the exhibition of the
pictures could only tend TO renew danger which
has been avoided.
81 lit must be recalled, also, that prize~tighting
Ii i crime in Virginia. It is certainly not the
part of a good policy to put before the public the
n facsimile of crime in the act of commission.
The moving picture is more than play. 1t is
reproduction Of life, startlingly realistic. The
presentation of the pictures would be tantamount,

E&1o idea of obtaining maximum volume with
s1easf confusion, is left to the diverse whms and
desires Of the individuals that constitute it, The
strangest thing about the condition is that it is
NOT, az might be supposed, the result of inatten
ton and neglect. On the other hand il appar-
entity results from the positive dissemination OF
] the Council to provide for the correction of a
manifest evil.
For over TWO years the Board of Police Com
