That which personally concerns pa

The foreign element among patients is
especially likely to come TO our hospitals
with small personal treasures, which are

Even if It were true, as ire says it|

what he wants, Mr. Roosevelt
should have Teft It TO some one else

Mr. Bryan has proposed and 7dvo-
Gated many measures and his fertiI-
ity and versatility In this respect rot
unnsturaIIy suggest lack Of stead
fastness. whnnaness Bat OF the
proposals to which Mr. Bryan has
adhered throughout all the stresses
of politics, Mr. Roosevelt himself has
espoused the majority, and made
and in his country's behalf 1t is a
fact no less notorious that several Of
the Bryznesque ideas which Mr.
Roosevelt is now engaged m propa-
eating were ridicuTed and reviled by
him when Mr.. Bryan first proposed
them and when their popularity was
questionable. The country can not
have forgotten, for example, that only
four years ago Mr.. Roosevelt pro-
nounced Mr. Bryan demagogue for
demanding publicity of campaign
contributions before the election,
whereas Mr. Roosevelt is now among
the most insistent advocates of that
very measure To stigmatize as a
muddIe-brain one from whom he has
| appropriated SO many of his own pro-
posals is surely somewhat inconsist-
ent, to say nothing of the ungracious-
ness of it.
! The one criticism which Mr..
Roosevelt could in truth make OF
Mr.. Bryan is that his ideas have run
TOO far in advance OF public opinoin
| to make them practicable proposals.
| But of course Mr. Roosevelt is not
for whereas Mr.. Bryan has marked
time, and thus enabled the vanguard
of political thought to catch up with
him. there is every indication that Mr.
| Roosevelt is crouched to leap equally
| far III advance of public opinion, SC
that any such criticism of. Mr. Bryan
would act somewhat as a boomerang
An instance of this is afforded by the
glimpse he has given the Oyster Bay
journalists of the speech he is tc

Much may be said for and mucf
against that proposal; but just now
we are not concerned with the weigh

point of this criticism is that ever

outweighed its demerits as Mr.. Roose

Mr.. Roosevelt, in advocating it a
this time, subjects himself to the one
criticism that he could properly make
of Mr.. Bryan.

nounced Democratic tendency. the
Roosevelt primary campaign in III
nois, Pennsylvania, Maryland and New

$6,000,000. The Times is conser-

estimates upon reliable information.

by Col Roosevelt. 1t was advanced

Of bosses or the adoption OF machine
