ROOSEVELT NOT IN RACE

In this letter Colonel Roosevelt saws.

Previously, by voluntary communica-

committed against being again can

explicit on this point In his letter on

problem of concentrated wealth in this

have invited from the active minded
of today. suggestions OF remedies that
are so extreme that the medicine TO
many OF us seems worse than the dis
ease.
Those who are charged with the
responsibility and sobered with the
difficulties. find themselves in the mid
die of the road. resisting the tendency
to socialism on one hand and the in
ertia of reactionary contentmcnt with
present evils and ambitions for greater
concentration of financial power on the
other; but we are gradually solving
the problem.
However dark at times the situation
seems so long as we retain In this
country a God fearing. sober intelli-
gent people. we can count in the long
run upon their working out safely and
sanely the problems set before them,
no matter how many mistakes in the
form of 'nostrums' they may have been
led into by the speciousness of half
baked theroies of progress, no matter
how often they may have been de-
feated i'm their purpose by the tenn
porary success of undue and corrupt
influence of concentrated wealth"
The president views the situation as
all level-headed people must regard
it, The agitation of theoretical ex-
tremists" is as bad for the country as
any illegal practices of concentrated
wealth. for il is plain. as Mr. Taft
says. that the medicine these eek
tremists" would administer as a cure
for existing evils would prove worse
than the disease. The people must
deal with the situation intellgently.

ability to do so i'm manner that will
eventually solve the problem.

CAMPAIGN PUBLICITY.

Among the important bills passed by
the recent congress is that providing
for publicity Of campaign expenses and
promises the last congress did some
thing along this line but the present
bin goes much farther. II provides.
for one thing. that the campaign ex-
penses and promises shall be ANNOUNCE
ed before election. instead OF after
ward. Thus, before he votes the voter
should know how the campaign has
been carried on. to some extent at
least, and act accordingly.
The bill as originally passed by the
house applied to representatives only.
The senate broadened its scope, maxi
ing ii applicable to senator's as we'll
II is possible that the restriction on
the amount that can be expended by
the candidate had something to do
with this. The present bill provides
that no candidate for the senate can
spend over $4,000 in any campaign
for nomination and election. while no
candidate for representative may
spend over $4,000. This is perhaps
less than the average expenditure at
present, while II is far below the ex-
penditures made by some of the con-
gressmcn. Senator Stephenson, for
instance. has himself admitted that
he spent 100000 in the last election
He was engaged in a warm campaign
and it could probably be shown that
the expenses Of his opponents were
also large. Under old conditions there
was no limit to the money that could
