ROOSEVELT DIDN'T FOOL GAM
MON.

/ sDSeu ualO, ara VINO IS aUIe 70 ptlS-
rate tie veil Of hypocricy which this
man has worn and continues to wear.
Never icing strong on the long end
# the Roosevelt idol idea, we have
within the last few months come to
nnow this arol political trickster
and bombastic bunch Of egotism for
what he really is The man who
could stand in a Kansas audience
and eXtol the character of John
Brown, while in the next week oe
relates to the south her virtues
and goes into ecstacies over them
who sit at dinner cheek by jowl with
Booker Washington one day and dis
places southern white federal officials
on the next with colored faces, who
decries the supreme court in Wyo-
ming while he puts down mob rule
in Maryland, who chases with the
stand patters in New York but is a
deyout insurgent in Indiana, who
charged the assassination Of William
Mckinley to William r. Hearst one
year and trains in political school
with him in the next, is surely not
the sort of a character to impress
very deeply real thoughtful persons
who will give to him half hour
serious consideration.
Theodore Roosevelt. the only living
ex-president of the United States,
has used that prestige as a stock
in-trade with which he has juggled
in every possible fashion for his
own political and financial better
ment, even lowering the dignity OF
that position to that Of a common
ward heeler in the political slums of
his own native state, the better ele-
ment of which are now endeavorine
to defeat his puppet candidate for
governor! How the country can go
Wild over Roosevelt whose open
purpose is to again reach the White
House by whatever route he can, is
\ one OF the mysteries we have yet
failed to fathom.
However, We are decreasing, and
we merely wanted to call attention
to the following from Capt NJ. NJ
Cannon, of Rome, with whom we
nave slight acquaintance and whom
We desire TO commend for his open
and frank utterances touching Mr.
Roosevelt. The article in question
appeared in the Rome Tribune-Her-
aid, OF Friday, and is as follows:
Editor TribuneHerald:
Some time since a statement was
made in your valuable puhncation.
that John Brown was hung, under
the law, for trying 10 do what the
republican leaders actually did do,
as soon as they got in power"
This was thought by some to be
very hard on the republican party.
But when this statement is con
frmed, and restated by the "strenu-
GUS one, that able colonel. who has

his own opinion, nolds in tie hol-
low of his own hands its, and the a.
