ROOSEVELTITIS.

If Theodore Roosevelt's deed S
more nearly conformed with his
words there would be some sense in
the idolatrous worship of portion of
the American public for this strange
tumble of contradictions in the
form of a man. But the Roosevelt
worshipcrS are unable to see or
prone to forget the impertections of
their idol. Because he has done u
few good things and made great
noise about lot of other good things,
they shut their eyes to the bad
things he has done and the good
things he has not done when he had
the opportunity to do them.
The citizen who is afflicted with a
full-hedged case of Rooseveltitis will
not listen to the more cynical and
less trustful citizen who is unable to
forget that, after much hullabaloo
and beating of tom toms over the
malefactorS of great wealth. Mr..
Roosevelt entered into an arrange
ment with one of these indicators,
Mr.. Hartman, in 1904, for the
collection and distribution where it
would do the most good in the clos
ing hours of the campaign of vast
sum of money, which could not then
have been used in legitimate way.
Can the Roosevelt worshiper be made
to see anything incongruos in the
imperial decree of the Great Man
granting permission to the steel
trust to gobble up The Tennessee
Coal and Iron company in defiance
of the law which in his speeches,
the Great Man always declares must
be enforced to the letter.
There were probably some Roose-
yeltitis victims in the Columbus,
Ohio, crowd whom, the other dav,
the Great Man harranged, taking
advantage of the opportunity to get
in whack at the man who may OPP
pose him for the presidency two
years from now.
In his Columbus speech Mr..
Roosevelt intimated that Governor
Harmon did not do his duty in the
street car strike, and, according to
the press reports of the speech, de-

economy is to keep the children out
