is based on such rickety foundation
that the weakness Of it is evident at

Roosevelt is trying to get away from
the rawness Of it, and trying to make
it appear something which it is not.

1t is quite true that the American

out from any possibility of being repre-

all the same, the cold -blooded proposl-
