tion needs than some of those who
live on the edge of the United States
and cannot see any nation at adjust
states and individuals in them.
Be all that as it may. The plain
fact is that, with or without personal
admiration for Theodore Roosevelt, the
new party appeals to strong independ-
ent minds because, without sophistry
or evasion, it stands squarely and con-
structively for certain very definite
things which, soon Or late, quaint, old
fashioned America has got to recognize
if it is going to keep its place in the
civilized family of nations.
These writers, with the imagination
to see it and without special privil-
eyes enough to fear it, believe that
the time has come to form a new
party for that purpose, and are willing
to lend a hand in the forming. Win
ming or losing this fall is mere in
cident with advantages and disadvan-
tages on both sides.
Those who do not care to believe
that Theodore Roosevelt has really
acquired this new view of things do
not have to. But very few will deny
that by experience, temperament and
training he is the most efficient public
servant in the world. The object of
electing a president is not to bestow
blue ribbon upon the prettiest vir-
gin in the village; it is to get the
best possible hired man to do some
work for us. If he wants, an eX
ira fee, the personal satisfaction of
working in the lin ight-I believe that
jS the accnS1tiOn-whV
not let him work in the limelight?
The idea is to get the job done.
OF course, one is frequently informed
by practical politicians that 1T. r. is
just working you idealists! If he got
into office he wouldn't even try to do
any of the new things you people
want"
He would imm mediately turn around
and do the old things that President
Taft wants, no doubt It's great to
have practical advisers to keep one
out Of the pitfalls of politics.
Among the idealists on the list be-
fore me 1 spy the names of those
well known visionaries, Wallace 1r-
win and George AIDE. 1t is too bad
how those poor young things are al
ways being buncoed by shams. When
will they ever learn to see through
fads and fakirs!
Then there's Richard Washburn
Child and c. P. Connolly and P. c.
Macfarlane; any one who has read
their pieces in the magazines can see
| how ignorant and Impractical this
trusting trio is. It's like stealing can
| dy from a child to rope them into the
| Bull Moose bunch.
| But, of course, the great trouble with
| the new party is that it's followers
have no sense of humor, as l was
reliably informed by college profes-
| sor who had just read up on humor in
! the library and therefore knew all
| about it. In fact, he told me himself
/ he had sense of humor.
! Yes, that explains it all. Now we
know why we have with us such
writer's as Franklin P. Adams, Inez
Haynes Gilmore, Bert Lesion Taylor
| Edna Ferber and George Fitch.

AN INTERVIEW WITH A
BULL MOOSE
by Edward $. Van ZiIc

E. S. Van Zile is writer who be-
gan with newspaper work and gradu
ated into the magazine field, after hav
ing served in an editorial capacity on
the Troy Times, the New York World
and the United Press. Among his pub
lished books are Don Miguel" Kings
of Adversity," with Sword and Cruel
fix" and The Dreamers."l
When l accepted from an ingenious
newspaper editor an assignment to in
terview a Bull Moose in its native hab-
itat, / realized that my ignorance Of
the characteristic of the animal-the
moose, not the northumberland my
possibilities of the venture. During a
long journey to the furthest North
Woods I was obsessed by the fear that
the moose, if I succeeded in finding
him, might accuse me, at the very out
set of bein nature faker.
Imagine my satisfaction, therefore,
when, having devised a way whereby
l could confront my prey, 1 found the
majestic creature taking me into its
confidence without any apparent sus-
picion of my lack Of qualifications for
the task thrust upon me.
You see" began the antlered mon
arcn of the situation, Il have but re
Gently come into my own, so far as nv
reputation with the general public was
concerned" Here he kicked a lilly
pad and uttered a loud, insistent,
raucous but thrilling call of the wild.
Then he went on:
Il have been looked upon heretofore
as creature that was always losing
its head and was easily stuffed. The
benoficaries of special privileges have
been fond of hanging me in effigy il
their halls and dining rooms They
have looked upon me as one of the
many meats upon which Caesar hath
grown so great" The enraged animal
made a kick and as the representative
OF reactionary journal, l fell back ap-
prehensively. Presently the moose re-
sumed, more quietly:
Enlightenment has finally come to

WHAT MAKES THE
WRITER'S PROGRESSIVE?

Many years ago Jesse Lynch Williams
wrote a newspaper story which he
called The Stolen Story" Other news
paper men called it classic. Mr.. Will
liams later on elaborated his tale into
a novelette,. He finally dramatized it..
Since then he has been writing other
stories and novels with fine art, in
Guiding The Adventures of a Fresh
man. New York Sketches The Day
Dreamers," My Lost Duchess" The
Girl and the Game" and The Mar
ried Life of the Frederick Sarrolls."
Mr. Williams is to be found in all
our leading magazines, and when he is
not there, then in the quiet village of
Princeton. where he has seen Mr.. Will
son as president of the university, and
where he will vote for Mr.. Roosevelt
as president Of the United States. !

are forever being bowled over by those
who shoot us down from the safe van
tage ground of law protected cover.
Well, we're in revolt. They call us IN
the animal world malcontents, the dis
affected, the revolutionaries, the dan
gerous classes. You may take it from
me, as original and aboriginal Bull
Moose, that we welcome gladly all the
bad names that can be hurled at u.s. If
il be shameful to make a belated pro-
test against the wrongs that we have
suffered, then l swear to you, by the
milk white purity of this perfect pond
lily that we glory in our shame.
Look about you on the splendors Of
this majestic primeval forest. To YOU
II you are hunter, the scene suggests
the possibilities of bringing down at
one shot Bull Moose, to your greater
glory as dandy sportsman. But if,
perchance, you are a poet, lover of
the true, the beautiful, the highest
things, you see in me and my surround
ings nothing that is not too sacred for
wanton destruction.
DO you get me, KID Reporter" he
added eXplosively. my quarters and
headquarters from now on are in the
saddle. In all parts of the country
am opening Moose cafes. Instead Of
being hunted, I'm now out for game
and where the antlers Of my kind now
hang, you shall see presently the scalps
of my oppressors The worm has been
long famous for turning, at a grand
crisis. Well. go back to the city and
inform the world that the moose has
risen and will no longer be denied. If
that is treason, tell the bosses to put
1t in their shotguns and quit hunting
m pose, or they shall, every one of them,
perish from the earth"
With that the lordly creature tossed
his antlers to the skies, uttered a re-
verberating call to a listening universe
and disappeared from my fascinated
gaze.

and comforts and honors of his day,
he plunged headlong into conflict
for human rights and human liberty,
Like Roosevelt, the guiding star of
eousness, and to secure the triumph of
those convictions no self-sacrifice was
too great.
And, like Roosevelt, the prince of
Orange suffered hatred and all the al
legations of criminality that could he
heaped upon him, but he triumphed,
and his name became one of the great
est inheritances of the human race
Never was there great man but
had his weaknesses, and Roosevelt has
his. He is a man and not a god.
His judgment of his fellow man, like
that Of Grant, is too confiding. He
expresses himself too much in the su
perlative degree. But these weaknesses
are a part of the unmatched power
which he has drawn from his convic
tions of righteousness and his love fo-
his fellow man.
In a day when the villainous theories
of Macchiavelli controlled the nations
of Europe and the unmeasured cruelty
and despotism of Spain ran riot in
the Netherlands, where Roosevelt's an
cestors then lived, the prince of Orange
set up the standards of human liberty
and laid the foundation for the repub
lie of the United Netherlands with free
worship of God and love of mankind
as the corner stones.
When America was given over to the
regency of the Dollar, Industrial and
political despot ruling with the cor
ruption and falseness of Macchiavelli,
Roosevelt set up anew the standard of
truth, of human liberty and of right
eousness, calling upon the people to
return once more to that self govern
ment of which they had been robbed
and to shake off the shackles of serf-
dom forged in the mills of the trusts.

THEODORE ROSSENELT-
HIS NISSAN

1t is not strange, perhaps. thai there
are those who fail to comprehend the
character of Theodore Roosevelt
One must, indeed search history
carefully to find leader of his exact
type, for there is but one parallel i'll
the records of the world, and he of the
same blood as Roosevelt
In running through the catalogue Of
the worlds great leaders, one must at
once discard the Alexanders and Cae-
sars and Napoleons, who fought for
personal glory Every intimate asso-
ciate. whatever his enemies may say,
bears testimony that there is nothin 2
One must discard so worthy charac-
ters as the Antonines of Rome and the
Mings of China, who sought the well
fare of their people, because they
lacked the fire. the determination, go
ing with their convictions, necessary
to force through the principles to
which they adhered
There is much in Roosevelt to recall
oliver Cromwell, and yet there is a
distinction. Cromwell had tremendous
force of character, tremendous will
power, tremendous convictions, like
Roosevelt, but he lacked that political
sagacity which Roosevelt possesses in
superb degree.
In all history there is but one other
Roosevelt, William, prince of Orange.
Like Roosevelt, Orange was at first
a moderate conservative.
Like Roosevelt, Orange grew in re
ligious and political convictions.
Like Roosevelt, in the full maturity
of life, he became for the first time
wholly devoted to the cause Of the
people, and throwing aside all that
st Cd for the aristocracy and riches
