Would Advise a Philosopher.
The vast region OF Mr.. Rooseyelt's
political economy he has peopled with
q law-made race OF men and women
who grope their way In the very fog
OF diffuse and regulated powers. In
the wide range Of his active mind he
has never encountered structure OF
authority which he would not change:
not alter: n society which ne would
not altar. n society which he would
not transform. In the long reach OF
his ample and enriched years he has
not met with a philosopher who he
would not advise; n teacher whom he
would not instruct: n soldier whom he
would not command. n king whose
sceptcr he would not WELD: book
which he would not re-wrlte. a rcllg.
ion which he would not re-organlze:
a civilization which he would not re-
construct
