COMMENT OVER HIS ROOsE
WELT LETTERS.
TEDDY ASKED THEM
Says Mr.. Roosevelt is Not Candidate
For the Republican Nomination
For Presidency.

New York, Dec 22-George r. Shell
don in an interview today explained
the publication of the correspondence
between Colonel Roosevelt and HIM
self relative to the Hartman con-
tribution to the Republican campaign
fund in 1904
Colonel Roosevelt / and myself
were aboard train together ten
days ago." said Mr.. Sheldon, "and
this matter came up in conversation
from something in the newspapers. I
said Why was the truth never told
about this whole business so that It
could be shut up% Colonel Roosevelt
said: Why can't you tell it now?' That
is all there is to it,
Asked if he thought it was advisable
to reopen the controversy at this
time Mr.. Sheldon replied: 81 thought
not, but Colonel Roosevelt asked me
to write the letter and l did so. 1t
was purely matter of friendship on
my part. That letter states the Who'll.
truth and ought to stop the comment
Mr. Sheldon added that there was
no basis for the inference that Co..
onel Roosevelt intends to seek a re-
nomination for the presidency.
Colonel Roosevelt has not told me
that he is a candidate'' he said "On
the contrary he has told me repeatedly
that he is not candidate"

SAVING TO SMALL NATIONS.

The central fact is that II aeroplanes
and submarines arrive" there is surely
no reason why little Holland or Belgium
should not easily build a sufficient number
Of them to raid successfully the fortified
towns and the ironclad fleets OF their ma
jestic neighbors. Then follows the thought:
II the expenditure Of fabulous wealth does
not insure against attack, and the most
costly defenCes are AS likely as not 10 be
swept away by raid which will cost a
merely trivial maximum of expense, surely.
then. there will be an end Of this mad ex-
penditure Of wealth on weapons of war.
Surely, then. our national budget will not
have half its expenditure side put down
10 the army and navy.
or course some warlike enthusiasts will
arise and say that II We can build two
thousand aeroplanes for the price Of one
ironclad. then let us spend exactly the
same amount ard have the two thousand
aeroplanes There are always people TO
,e found who want 10 waste r~oney. But
thai does not do away with the fact that
the biggest states will still remain at the
mercy OF a successful air raid by their
little neighbors. In short, the aeropane
seems 10 be the beginning of the demo-
cratization Of war War will no. longer be
the tool Of despotic autocrats among the
nations II will be an open profession for
the rich and the poor.

seeing that the spectacle gives occasion for
a good deal Of folk emusic, no better choice
Of composer could have been made. HerS
