will dispute the truth Of that state

Roosevelt is one Of them, by his; own
admission--who can not be emDar-
rassed', by anything. SO we are not
surprised that, even aftey Mr. Taft
had told the whole truth about Lor-
liner, and proved that he was, as he
always had been, against him, and
showed that he had even consulted
the third. termer as to the most enec-
tive way to deal with the case In the
senate, Roosevelt should say: X M =
Taft came here to. explain that; he did
not like Mr.. Lorimer, having kept his
dislike private and confidential until
after he lost Illinois. A man VINO
could say such a thing as that, in the
face Of proof to the contrary, is be-
yond the possibility of being "embar-
rassed.''@ And this Is the man who re,

stopped the suit against the harvester

White House the papers in the Steel

hold Of them. He Is like "the African
