RoosEvELT's ERRATIC COURSE

Hon. John W. Foster, ex-Sccretary of
State, has recently summarized Col.
Roosevelt g activities for peace and for
war, this in view of Roosevelt IS holding
back on and criticising the proposed ar
bitration treaty between the United
States and Great Britain. Mr.. Foster
considers that Col. Roosevelt has pur
sued an ''erratic and inconsistent
course in relation to the subject of in
tcrnational arbitration. - But he mod
ites this by saying that, in spite of his
early opposition TO arbitration, the cx-
President has done more than any 9th
er living man TO advance this cause.
and has well earned the Nobel peace
prize. And he concludes that we may
expect "this cratic but patriotic citi-
zen to fall in line with the onward
march toward international peace, and
give his support 10 the great measure
which most cnnobles the administration
of his successor - Possibly the key to
Col. Roosevelt S antagonistic course
may be found in the concluding two
words of the quotations, his success
sor.n That is, COL Roosevelt does not
like to see anything noteworthy or spec
tacular done by anyone other than him
self In this view of him, Mr.. Foster
will find many supporters among the
American people.
But the most sensational part of MIR.
Foster g comment upon Col Roosevelt
in his address at the Lake Mohonl Cbau
tauqua is the statement he makes as Il
fact that in the contest between Can
kan boundary, which came TO crisis
during President Roosevelt S admins
tration. he had first wanted to settle
that controversy by stationing the army
in the disputed territory. but Secretary
Hay finally persuaded him to submit
the dispute 10 arbitration. This is GER
tainly new incident in that contro-
versy. IL appears that, but for the
GOODNESS Of Secretary Hay. Col, Roose-
welt would have taken an action that
would have led to Immediate conflict
and possibly to war; and ii would have
left the Alaska boundary contention as
source Of permanent wranging be
tween tine United States and Canada.
It would have been such d rash and
reckless move to take the army TO the
disputed portions of Alaska. that one
must he astonished that Pres ident
Roosevelt could ever have thought of
doing such thing. And yet Mr.. Eos
ter undoubtedly knows what he is talk
iug about. and Col. Roosevelt has made
no denial. The fact, therefore, may
admitted, and nothing could more APPLY
