for happy tactfulness combined with
deep sincerity. His philanthropic

To the Editor Of THE TIMES:
1t Is high time for the people Of
this city to arouse themselves from
the stupor of apathy SO predominant
among US about the odious condition
Of our environments and to cry out

Colonel Roosevelt made fools of sew
eral men here in Washington and
seemed to impart to them the idea
that an individual had no rights that
an official was bound to respect.
The people passively allowed the
unmitigated outrage shown to poor
Mrs. Morris at the White House to
pass without a single word of COM
ment. 1t was one of the most in
famous outrages ever enacted in this
country, and Russia nor Nero, nor

AT HEARSTS RETURN
To the Editor OF THE TIMES

To the Editor of THE TIMES:
Many old and life long Democrats
are not so enthusiastic over the re-
turn of William X. Hearst to the
bosom of the Democratic party as the
Washington Post appears to be. II
Mr. Hearst returns as did the prodi-
gal of old, with contrite and hum
Bile spirit. then in time all may be
well, but II he returns as dictator
and endeavors to enlist the party to
assist him in wallopping Tammany
for the many deserved walloppings
that Tammany has given him, then
We of the 'old school, know Tam,
many and we know Mr. Hearst. and
in this connection, IT may be well to
recall that Tammany was fighting the
battles Of the Democracy and fur
nishing 1t the sinews of war, when
little Willie was in his swaddling
clothes.
Now, try and be good, Willie; re-
member that the Democracy has
fought it's way to success with very
little aid or encouragement from you,

ties when modesty becomes a virtue.
