Men Who Live Softly.
In summing mp his second article
Colonel Roosevelt declares in ADDITION
TO the professional politicians ana IN
terests who oppose him and 70 the az
specta able support that comes from lhoi'
yiduals who are misinformed, there 10
a considerable body of support from
respectable men who do know some
thing Of the issue at stake, no.
nThey are the men who flnd li1e
easv. who live softly, and who, insteao
of feeling that their own GOOD fortune
makes il incumbent on them aetlVely y TO
work for betterment in the life, condi-
t;ons of others. are overcome by the
fear that any such effort to improve
the general welfare would jar the pres
emf system sufficiently to cause them
inconvenience.
UThese men abound In New York
and Boston social and business or pro-
fessionnl clubs, in the boards Of trades
and chambers of commerce, in the par
associations; III the residential districts
where people Of means srd leisure dwell
They are free from physical toll and
ha rdship: thew live under conditions
that tell for ease; they are charitaniy
inclined but their vision is narrow;
their svmputhies are restricted by their
inability TO realize the feelings anu
needs of less fortunate men of harder
lives and they become panic stricken
when required to face the question as
to whether our social system really does
Justice TO these other less fortunate
men.
Says They Commend Theft.
"They develop a panic-born immo'
rality, which makes them not merely
excuse, but eagerly commend the theft
of a nominating convention, or any
other rascality, which in their estima.
ion helps to Save society, or to pre-
serve the constitution or to 'repel as
saults on the courts; for those men
under such conditions follow the lead
of the great corporation owners and
great corporation lawyers in treating
the constitution and the courts-quite
without warrant-as instruments de.
signed to protect privilege and vested
wrong and to prevent the people from
really ruling themselves. They have ap.
parently been educated to the point OF
feeling all this in accentuated form
about me, and about the changes
champion. They do not know that
most Of the things I advocate have
been successfully tried out in a few
of our own states-Wiscopsin, for in,
stance, and even Massachusetts, in
foreign countries, such as Germany
Denmark, England, New Zea land, Swift
this country to be wise in time-which
is nine-tenths Of wisdom.
"I wish to see our less fortunate
citizens avoid the dreadful excesses OF
syndicatism and the like to which their
fellows abroad have been prone. This
can only be accomplished If cur people
as a whole will formulate and reduce
TO practice certain great moral princi
Piles which most Of us are now dimly
beginning to see shape themselves from
the confused welter of our business
and our politics"

WASHINGTON. July ls.-Repre.
sentative Norris of Nebraska, pro
gressive Republican and a Roosevelt
supporter, In letter sent today to
John Kennedy, chairman of the Ne
braska state Republican committee,
asks for another senatorial primary, in
and new set of instructions be voted
TO candidates for Roosevelt and Taft
electors.
He proposed that electors for both
sides stand by the result.
Mr.. Norris made the proposal in re-
ply to criticism in his state and pub
lished demands that he support Presi-
dent Taft OF get off the Republican
ticket.
~ am believer in the recall" said
Mr.. Norris in his letter. "I am willing
that it should be applied to me, and II
since my nomination my course in re.
Republican nominee is unsatisfactory
TO the Republicans who nominated me,
l am not only willing but I believe it
is my duty to withdraw.
Under no circumstances can I be
induced to support man for office
whose nomination I conscientiously be-
lieye to have been obtained by the cor
rnpt and unlawful methods which [ be-
lieve were perpetrated in the so called
nomination of Mr., Taft, and if my
nomination or even nv interest must
depend upon such support, then I pre-
