A COMMENT on THE pRoGREssrvEs.

Hammond, Ind, Aug. 30.
Editor TIMEs:-In answer to Geo.
Groom's plea for the Bull Moose and
his cry for actual human rights and
protection as against property rights
To make a start, the Progressive is
boss-ridden from start to finish, every
thing cut and dried for the sucker to
mite on. Teddy's only regret is that
he could-not steal the necessary dele
gates at the Republican convention TO
insure his nomination for president on
the Republican ticket Why did he not
stay away from the Republican conven-
ton if he had such fertile ideas as this
"Rule of the People" Not hei If he
could have gotten the desired nomina-
tion on the regular ticket you would
never have heard Teddy howl for re-
form. Teddy has held office the
greater part of his life and thinks the
people still owe him living no matter
what the ticket.
Who are Roosevelt's supporters?
Perkins and Munsey-the Perkins of
Metropolitan Insurance scandal fame
Perkins of the Steel trust--Perkins Of
Wall street. And the same may be
said of Munsey. The Progressive plat
form was written by this same Perkins
lit is his work and his alone. He gave
1t financial assistance as well as in
telligent direction-and in one thing
Perkins has more sense than all the
other capitalists put together-he sees
Socialism and realizes that safety for
the ruling class lies now in leading the
people to vote for blind issues. The
willy Perkins makes sure he has just
the right kind of junk in the Progress
sive platform to catch the unsophisti-
Gated. Here is Perkins idea in a nut
she'll. Bring out the wild man from
Osyster Bay and give him a platform
in part stolen from the Socialists and
let him go around the country showing
his teeth and bowling his head off. He
figures that this will hold the voters
for awhile. But men are getting ready
| to vote for live issues instead of dead
ones.
| Did you Progressives have a refer
endum vote on your candidate for
president, or on your platform. section

by section? No. you did not-that was
all arranged for you--~you had nothing
to say about 1t. We Socialists did I'm
democratic way of selecting platform
and a candidate for you, is It not? Its
only putting new wine In old skins"
You have the "old skins" all right.
There are Teddy and few Thousand
other hungry office-seekers clamoring
for one more chance at the public crib.
So you Progressives. blind followers
OF blind leader. saw no need of new
party till Teddy had withdrawn from
the regular, did you? The idea never
entered your craniums that you needed
this glorious thing until he was open
for an engagement. Then you saw that
he was the very thing to complete your
party
But everybody is next-they are on
to the game of a fake candidate on a
fake platform.
Why don't you vote for the real
thing. Vote to abolish interest, profit
and rent Own the trusts and your
own homes-vote for the full product
of your labor, own your own tools of
production. In other words. vote for
real live issues instead of palliatives
and humbug reform.

"EvERYBODY LIES BUT TEDDY.
To The Editor of THE TIMEs-Sir: 1t
is surprising that in connection with
the present question of veracity be-
tween Penrose and Archbold on one
side and Roosevelt on the other, so little
reference has been made to similar oc-
curences in Roosevelts public career
heretofore.
Ones memory goes back to the fol-
lowing: When Henry NJ. Whitney of
Boston and body of other business
men .icm New Englani had an inter
view with Mr.. Roosevelt when be was
President. and afterward quoted In
good faith what he had said, a fat de-
NAL that any such conversation had oc-
Cured came from Mr.. Roosevelt the
next day. Mr.. whitney's reply was dig
nified and expressed great astonish-
ment, but II l remember correctly lie

gentleman never lived.
Later came the dear Maria" episode
where everybody lied except Roosevelt

to Parker, but the difference between

now is marked Then he was believed

But the important thing about all
this is not so much whether or not the
individual Roosevelt is or is not a liar
The fact remains that he has brought
disgrace and contempt. especially in
the sight of foreigners. on the greatest
gift that can bestowed by the American
people. With the exception of Roose-
Welt there has not been a man who has
occupied this high office who has not
been sobered with its sacred trust He
alone has trampled the trust of his
countrymen in the dust and brought
disgrace to his country. r. S. p.
