Colonel Roosevelt was not al
ways 50 staunch defender of the
dear "peepul." Once upon time
he wrote the following paragraph
in q book:
I'm our cities the misgovern-
ment is due not to misdeeds of
the rich, but to the low standard
of honesty and morality among
our citizens generally. Govern
mental power should be concen.
trated in the hands of very few
men, who would be go conspicuous
that no citizen could help knowing
all about them, and the elections
should not come too frequently"
This sounds a great deal like
one of those unfortunate utter
ances of President Taft's which
the Colonel now grows purple in
the face denouncing.
