CRY or "CAESARISM."
As the time for the return Of Col
oneI Theodore Roosevelt approaches,
there is no end Of gossip as to what
is going TO happen in the United States
in the near future. Many Of the news
papers broadly hint that the former
President is going to try for a third
term in the White House. and that his
plan OF campaign has been definitely
settled.
1t remained for Rabbi Wise OF the
Free Synagogue Of New York to put
the finishing touches on the alleged
Roosevelt program. In an article in
the North American Review. the good
rabbi relates a discussion he he'd on
he subject OF "Rooseveltisn." The
rabbi says:
Not very long ago IL fell to the
writer to discuss the incXhaustt-
BILE theme OF Rooseveltism with
two men. one Of whom had been
In Roosevelts cabinet, the other
being a Wall Street magnate.
Each unwittingly INDUCED in
prophecy. His former lieutenant
unhesitatingly predicted the re-
election OF Roosevelt and a sub
scquent change in the cOnstttu-
ton. which would enable him
to retain office while he lived.
Nor was this spoken in jest, for
the speaker was I'm grim and
almost paniclSy earnest But he
added. significantly, Roosevelt
will do this not in the interest
OF his own fortunes, but to save
hts country The Wall Street
leader confined his forecast to
these few words: Whatever he
may do in the future. Theodore
Roosevelt viii always be great
factor for good
The name Of the former cabinet
officer is not given. although the New
York sun hazards the guess that
James r.. Garfield was the man who
predicted that the constitution would
be changed and Colonel Roosevelt
placed in the presidential chair for
life. And this for the sole purpose of
saving the country!
The rabbi evidently has no objec-
ton TO this particular plan Of saliva
ton for the United States, and is in
clined TO accept it as a matter OF
course. Others do not take so kindly
to the suggestion
The Chicago Inter-Ocean says that
Mr.. Roosevelt plans a tour Of the
country soon after his return, and has
requested a number OF senator's 70
meet him in New York for confer
ence prior to starting upon the trip
The Chicago paper says the tour is &c
extend from New York through In
diana. Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
south Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado
Nebraska. Kansas, oklahoma, Texas
Louisiana. Alabama. Georgia, Tennes-
see. south Carolina, North Carolina
virginia. Maryland. Delaware, Penn
sylvania and New Jersey.
The Inter-Ocean doesn't like Col
oneI Roosevelt. and jumps at the con
clusion that the former President "ha'
decided that Mr. Taft does not sui
him in the presidency and has deter
mined 20 push Mr.. Taft aside and
seek a third term for himself"
The indianapolis News declares tina
Mr Roosevelt is a philosophical rad
icai." but does not fear that the con
stitution will be amended in order e
give him a life job OF saving the coun
try.
Other Journals Of more or less infiu
ence and responsibility are Keeping
their presses humming in order t.
print the latest surmises regarding tn
advent Of the hero upon his nativ
heath. and a furore Of excitement !
being worked up which will probabi
amount to a frenzy by the time IN
happy day arrives.
Even the staid old Brooklyn Eagle
which never allows itself to becom
hvsterical. dilates upon the subject o
Afr. Roosevslt's return. but advises a.
others TO wait until the absent one ar
rives. and let him think for himsel
and speak for himself"
The advice is good. but viii not b
needed. Each and every man jack q
us must have our say and add to IN
excitement OF the hour We're in 70
season OF fatuous aduiation on tn
one hand and bitter denunciation o
the ether, and there's no help for IL.
DIRECT To CONSUMER.
