Unseemly.

The haste OF the noisiest shouters
for the La Toilette boom to get away
from it, and to scramble for con-
spicuous places in the Roosevelt
movement strikes US as decidedly IN
seemly. Senator La Toilette deserved
better Of his followers after the self
sacrificing campaign he has been
making to be deserted over night the
moment his star seemed to be set
ting. No matter how much We may
disagree with Senator La Toilette,
every one recognizes In him sturdy
and undaunted fighter for whatever
cause in which he Is enlisted. and II
is unthinkable that he would throw
down his arms and join the forces
flying another standard because the
outlook for his chosen leader did not
impress him as hopeful. For him to
be cast aside so unceremonlously
after they had proclaimed him the
greatest living embodiment of pro-
gressiye principles strikes US as evil
dencing lack OF appreciation. II not
Of inslncerity, on the part Of the
backsliders.

closely associated with the founder
Of The Bee. the late Edward Rose
water. both personally and in the
organisation Of the paper. While in
his later years he lived Q life of re-
tiremsnt. the name Of Bruno
