Teddy turning Topsy-Turvy

General Harrison Gray Otis,
writing in reply to Theodore Roose-
velt's editorial entitled "Mr. Com
pers, General Otis and the Dynamite
Charges" published in the current
number of the Outlook gives the ex-
president the following compliment
as romancer. General Otis says
in part: eff Theodore Roosevelt had
been contemporary of Ananias,
Baron Munchausen and Mendez Pin
to those illustrious romancers would
have been distanced and would have
lost their notoriety. The many
colored coat of Joseph was uniform
and sombre compared with the color
ing of the Roosevelt political robe.
OF alt the Janus-faced, chameleon
hued upright and downright fabri-
Gators that ever tried the patienc Of
friends and invited the criticisms of
foes, here, certainly, is the limit.
The name 'face-both-ways' is made
quate. Colonel Roosevelt was un-
mindful of his own claimed reputa-
tion for standing for the square
deal when he rushed, unsolicited,
to the defense of the suspected and
indicted dynamiters by doubling
not whether they committed the act
charged, for that he had right to
debut by doubling whether any
dynamiting Of the Times had been
done by anybody; for that is what
his if means.
His latest position on the union
labor question as announced in the
last issue of the Outlook, is that Of
unconditional and abject submission
to these monopolies. He sits at the
feet of Gompers, casts adoring
glances at him and kow-tows to the
labor vote which is a delusion,
sham and a boyle man, which no
brave man need fear.
Colonel Roosevelt, disappointed
politician and virtuous vaulter, is
steadily revising and reversing
himself downward.

That was part OF the game as II was

Taft represents the antithesis OF the

The president thinks he knows the

MIR. TNFTS INTERVIEW.

one phase Of President Taft's char

and partisan enthusiasts seem to fail

Kansas City journal. Although beset
on all sides 10y administrative diff

A few days after the president had
completed his remarkable tour Of
spcechmakng with its record of 800
speeches delivered within the period
of forty-nlne days, he was sitting in
his cottage at Hot Springs, Va, when
he consented to talk to an interviewer
about the past present and future.
The interviewer himself says that it
was not a prepared discussion but was
just frank offhand talk that would
have come from the olt time politician
or that would have been authorized

was not a trace Of boastfulness, or

Mr.. II. r. Tucker manager of the
Tulsa Information bureau, says just
south of Tulsa in the bottom land Of
the Arkansas river drilling crew is
constantly pumping water from II
point driven in the ground and ex-
claims what fine field for truck

Just so. We agree with Mr. Tucker
and we hope his suggestion viii bear
fruit. We do not know of finer 0p-
portunity in the country for good lu-
crative business than truck gardening
by irrigation in the bottom lands of
the Arkansas river in the vicinity Of
Tulsa. These bottoms are all UNDER
laid by sands that carry an mex
haustible supply of water at shallow
depth. why not utilize it?

reliable supply Of rain so far as gard

ities of the rich alluvial and level
