A sELF-PAlNTED PICTURE.

In an address delivered at the Sor-
homie. Paris, April %, 1910, on "Citi-
zenship in q Republic" Theodore
Roosevelt. then returning from his
African hunting trip, said:
$50 it is with the orator. It is highly
desirable that leader of opinion in
a democracy should be able to state
his views clearly and convincingly.
But all that oratory can do of value to
the community is to enable the man
thus to explain himself; If 1t enables
the orator to persuade his hearers TO
mt false values on things, it merely
makes him power for mischief. Some
excellent public servants have not the
gift at all and must rely upon their
deeds to speak for them; and unless
the oratory does not represent genuine
convictions, based on good common
sense and able to be translated into
efficient performance, then the better
the oratory the greater the damage to
the public it deceives. Indeed, it is a
sign of marked political weakness in
any commonwealth if the people tend
to be carried away by mere oratory,
II they tend to value words In and for
themselves, as divorced from the
deeds for which they are supposed to
stand. The ptrase-maker, the phrase
monger, the ready talker, however
great his power, whose speech does
not make for courage, sobriety and
right understanding, is simply a
noxfous element in the body polite,
and it speaks i'll for the public If he
has influence over them"
In this speech Mr.. Roosevelt pointed
out the dangerous power that Theo-
dore Roosevelt is exerting in words as
effective as any used by his most pro-
nounced critics.

Cries of conspiracy, theft, betrayal of
trust, etc, raised by Manager Dixon
of the Roosevelt forces are absurd, the
Record-Herald thinks, in view of the
unanimous decisions made by the ma
tional committee. If the contests are
so raw that the Roosevelt men on the
committee cannot support them with
their votes the Record-Herald sees no
cause for raising the cry OF steam
roller Further discussing the con-
i tests before the national committee
the Record Herald says:
AS an Independent and unprecedented
newspaper, the Record-Herald 1s free
to state that it has not apologtzed, and
would not condone or apologize, for a
single unfair or raw" decision Of the
republican national committee. HAD
there been any "strong-arm" work. any
"steam-roller' tactics, the Record
Herald would have been among the
first to warn and protest in the name
Of political morality as well as mere
party expediency. What are the facts,
what is the plain truth?
OF the eighty-four contested seats
passed on by the national committee
up to Monday evening only four pre-
sented the appearance Of merit to the
"Roosevelt members" In all the
other cases the decisions were unanl'
nous. In the four doubtful cases
Committeeman Rogers Of Wisconsin, a
LaFollette supporter, stated the weight
of evidence to have been on the Tart
side. In the ninth Alabama district
contest Committeeman Lyon OF Texas,
a Roosevelt stalwart, voted with the
majority.
/ A decent regard for ordinary honesty
should have restrained even violent
partisans from yelling murder, theft
and fraud, from denouncing crimes
never even threatened, from indulg1ng
in threats and buster apropos OF a
"steam-roller" that no one had yet
seen. heard or smelled. Yet We read
of petitions to committeeman begging
or warning them not to continue" to
dc-what? We read OF decisions to
"bolt" If the committee persists" in
what? In rendering unanimous decls-
ions, or in giving honest judgment IN
accordance with the weight OF the
evidence?
The Record-Hera1d is booming no
candidacy Of its own. It stands for
Justice. truth and honor in the present
situation. 1t is bound to state that
the republican national committee up
to this date has discharged its obliga-
lions impartially and honorably.
Give the committee fair play.

Taft carried the fourth district of
California and the Taft delegates Sc
cured majority over the Roosevelt
delegates. Roosevelt carried the state,
however, and the Roosevelt leaders in
California set aside the will of the peo-
pie Of the fourth district and substi-
tuted Roosevelt delegates for the Taft
delegates named. Believing that the
people of that district should have the
right to chose for themselves the
delegates they should send to the Chi.
cago convention, the national commit
tee reversed the action Of the Cali
fornia Roosevelt leaders and seated
the delegates elected by the people.
The committee could not in common
honesty have done otherwise.

Because it was a moonliit. summer

much that even his joyous rendition
of "Juanita" in sweet but hardly &C.

his guitar was received with patience,
albeit neither man nor girl on the

carried very 'COucnlnS stOiy oOous
how some rich men went into wan
street in 1907 and dumped few-cart'
loads Of securities and money into the
channels Of trade to stop panic that
was about to break upon the country
This Is not the first time that the
people have been informed that some
such occurrence as that took place. The
story told yesterday was little more
pathetic than previous versions have
been. AS Josiah Aliens wife would
put it, "It was heart-renderlng ana
dumfoundering.
While the natural vision is some
what INSTRUCTED when one looks from
the Mississippi valley country clear TO
Wall street, and we may not nave got
ten an absolutely clear view of all the
phases of the situation, 1t has seemed
to us ever since 1907 that there we're
two sides to this dumping -money-into'
Wall street proposition.
There were some men who furnished
some money at just the right time 70
bring relief. For that they should be
commended. But there were some
men who brought on the very condl'
lions that made 1t necessary for them
to 70 down into Wall street on the
aforesaid panic-stopping mission.
There are a lot of people in this part
OF the country who feel that these men
have been commended for stopping a
panic but that there are also some
men who should have been con-
demned for starting 1t.
For a number Of years some men
In the east put IN considerable time
and money conducting lawsuits
against F. Augustus Heinze IN Mon
tana. These Montana lawsuits result
ed very unsatisfactory to the men
IN the east who were footing the bill.
Finally, evidently some one OF these
men saw light. They realized that
they had been fighting Hednze on MS
own door SILL These eastern f1nan.
ciers conceived the idea that they nad
been going at the proposition from
the wrong end, SO the plan of attack
on Heinze was changed with the result
that Heinze was approached from
different angle, he consented to a
trade and he received in return for MIS-
Montana property, high official posi-
ton and big interest in a large fnan-
cial institution in New York City.
The battle ground was thus transferred
from Montana to New York. Ihere
Heinze was in the other fellows terri
torv. The eastern contingent then
started q flying wedge formation
against the Heinze bank that knocked
Augustus clear out in the middle OF
the street with big law suit attached
to him. and the run that was thus
started on that bank, finally developed
into the bankers panic of 1907.
These eastern fnanciers, whoever
thew were and are, do not deserve as
much commendation for stopping the
panic as they do deserve condemna.
ton for starting it. They got the calf
started but he would not stop after he
rot through the gate. They were
willing to stop but no one seemed ais
poged to aold the calf They finally
had to do a little pulling back them
selves. -,
That was self-protection-not phil
anthropy. Get the name right.

Investigators at work on the
Villisca murder cases insist that the
brutal crimes were prompted by re-
ivenge and have no connection with the
murders within the past year at Colo.
RADIO Springs, Ellsworth, Kansas, and
Monmouth, Ill. The similarity OF
these crimes, however, gives grounds
for the theory that they are all the
work of some mailman with an insati-
able thirst for human blood. All the
crimes have been committed on Sun
day night. In each case the victim has
been slain by blow on the head with
an ak or some similar instrument.
And in each case the murderer has
battered the head of his victim almost
to pulp. 1t will not do to discard
the theory that the same man Is re.
sponsible for these brutal crimes. The
evidence from all these places may
aid in the search for the slayer,
which should be prosecuted without
thought Of expense. There will be
dread in homes all over the land ii
