What Does Mr.. Roosevelt Say Now

When on the night of election day.
1903. the returns indicated that Mr..
Roosevelt, then the occupant of the
White House by reason of his success
sion to the Presidency, had been tri-
umphantly elected in his own right, he
Immediately issued the following ex-
plicit statement:
81 am deeply sensible of the honor
done me by the American people in
thus expressing their confidence in what
/ have done and what have tried to do.
l appreciate to the full the solemn re-
sponsibility this confidence places upon
me, and | shall do all that in my power
lies not to forfeit it. On March 4 next
shall have served three and a half
years and this three and half years
constitute my first term. The wise
custom which limits the President TO
two terms regards the substance and
not the form, and under no circum-
stances will be candidate for or ac-
cept another nomination"
Under no circumstances will I be
a candidate for or accept another nomi-
nation" Determination and purpose
could not be more plainly expressed.
What does Mr.. Roosevelt say now?
The Washington herald., 1912-01-30
Economy in the Army.

The plan proposed by the Secretary
of War to effect saving of S5,5o7,ooo
by concentrating the army into fewer
posts at certain strategic points will
thoroughly test the sincerity of Con-
gress in its pretensions of economy and
will challenge the interest of the na-
ton. Secretary Stimson's proposal is
10 discontinue about eighteen of the
smaller army posts and ultimately re-
duce the number by twenty-four or
twenty-five, thus considerably adding to
the number of troops at the larger
posts, and cutting off expense in taking
care of the smaller posts and barracks
in various parts Of the country. The
Secretary of War and the Chief of
Staff claim for the arrangement ma
tcrial saving in administration without
impairing the efficiency of the fighting
force.
1t has long been a settled idea with
Americans that the nation needs a
small and efficient army, as the nucleus
of military defense. If it is not to be
4 well-trained, seasoned, and capable
army. it is of little use to keep up the
establishment. To maintain such con-
ditions with the regiments, troops, and
batteries scattered in many remote
army posts has been found difficult and
expensive. 1t is now proposed to over
come the scattering of the forces by
their concentration, and to eliminate
the expense about in proportion to the
decrease in the number of posts hith-
erto maintained
That the proposal, carried out will
The Washington herald., 1912-01-30

test the desire of Congress for economy
is evident from the fact that it takes
away from several of the States the
posts which it is proposed to abandon,
which are not only matters OF State
pride. but of some advantage and profit
to the cities and towns near which
they are located. If members Of Con-
gress will surrender local advantage
for the public good, it will be real proof
of economical administration.
Public interest in the proposal CEN
tiers in the assurance OF the military
officers that a better disciplined army
can be maintained at less cost under
the proposed arrangement.

Which Is the Right Version9

In the New York Sun last Sunday
the following observation was placed
conspicuously at the head of the edi-
torial column:
Not TO our personal knowledge, but
certainly TO the best OF our belief, MI.
Smith contributed $4,000 or $4,000 to
the promotion of DR.. Wilson's politi-
cal fortunes. That contribution IS the
pecuniary Substructure of the doctor
present canvass for Presidential NOM
ination. We have never heard that Dr.
Wilson rejected Mr.. Smiths money.
We have never heard that he severely
scrutinized the benefactiOn. We have
never heard. and have never had until
now any reason to suppose, that he was
considering the question OF repayment
10 his original protector and benetactor.
Perhaps that will come next.
Here, then. is a direct charge that
Gov Wilson accepted a large fund,
said to be 10000 or $4,000, from ex-
Senator Smith, the insinuation being
that after having taken this SUM Gov.
Wilson ought not 10 have opposed Mr..
Smiths ambition to rc-entcr the United
States Senate.
In the current number OF the Worlds
Work. as part of a biography of Wood
row Wilson by William Bayard Hale,
VIC find an interesting illumination of
this Wilson-Smith episode. According
10 this chronicle. when Mr.. Smith vol
unfairly cspoused the cause of MIR.
Wilson. the latter sought to learn the
reason for his unexpected support and
was particularly anxious to know what
he would ask in return, especially with
reference to the United States Senate
Then follows this specific statement:
On that point. Mr. Wilson mad,
specific inquiry of the gentlemen who
came TO him on their puzzling crrand
He required their assurance that Mr.
Smith would not seek the SenatorShip
Were he TO do so. while | was gov
Crnor.' he told them, 1 should have to
oppose him. He represents everything
repugnaut 10 my convictions They told
him categorically that Smith had nc
idea of going back to the Senate; that
he was a man thought to be sick with
a dangerous constitutional ailment and
horne down by domestic bereavement
and that he was definitely out of poll
tics. Furthermore, they called his at
tention to the fact that the election laws
OF New Jersey called for a primary. ir
which the respective parties by popular
vote selected their candidates for Sena.
tor. James Smith, Jr-. would not enter
that primary race. Nothing could be
more convincing on that score.
If Mr.. Hale is giving US the correct
version, and it is hardly to be supposed
that he is writing without authority or
is deliberately perverting the facts, Gov
Wilson not only did not seek Mr.
Smiths support, but emphatically gave
notice that he would not. under any
circumstances, accept it if it meant that
he must indorse Mr.. Smiths candidacy
for the Senate. This being the case
he was not only under no obligation tc
assist Mr. Smith, but he could not have
done so with any self-respect.
If the statements which are made by
Mr. Hale are untrue, it is the duty ot
some one to disprove them. They Ger.
tainly constitute an interesting contri,
button to political history.
