counts for naught that he has made
mistakes, for they are Of the judgment
while his motives are Of the heart.
Critics will look in vain for any IN.
usual ability or faculty that he poe.
sesses beyond the one faculty Of
serving the people and making them
to understand and believe that he is
serving them. There is no alchemy
for winning and holding men unto
him of which he alone holds the secret.
It Is old q the world itself, soul fired
with human sympathy, . heart that

dices of the extremist, for the people
have not wanted for their idol an ex.
tremist who jumps without looking
and denounces without investigation,
and condemns without rhyme Of rea-
son. Mr.. Roosevelt's success has
perhaps been very largely due to his
conservatism in handling questions
that make most men radicals or per.
haps better in dealing with questions
and to an extent that only radicals
usually approach, and all the while
maintaining an attitude Of fairness and
honesty and conservatism. He never
advocated q law that would do any
more injury to legitimate business

ing. That is why he has the conf.
dence and esteem ofthe strong minded
and successful but honest business
men of the country. The people have
asked only for . msn wise enough to
know, courageous enough to do, and
practical enough to accomplish. Roose-
welt measured up to this test. Like
Lincoln, he was denounced by some
because he went too far, and criticised
by others because he did not 60 far
enough, but between these two ex.
tremes, between the rotten manipulation
who wants no regulation and the fanat-
ical agitator who would stop every.
thing. Theodore Roosevelt has steered

the people have followed him in the
