Percentages Misleading.

Percentages Of the business done by
the United States Steel Corporation" the
report says, ARE deceiving and mislead
ing unless segregated with reference to
particular products. For example, Mr.
Roosevelt refers to an estimate that the
United States Steel Corporation did not
have above 90 per cent Of steel proper

the purchase Of the Tennessee Coal and

Not Craziest Proposal.


.I am inclined to think that the last
criticism goes perhaps a little too far
when it says that 1t Is the craziest pro-
posal that ever emanated from himself
because / have from time to time taken
the liberty to submit to the Senate q
number of other proposals Of the ex-
President which are equal to it in this
regard.
f1ippant and impulsive utterance of q can
didate for public Office who is trying to
attract public fayors are making great
mistake. In my Judgment, the ex-Presi-
sition for years and. contrary to his usual
custom, 1t is the result Of profound study
and investigation on his part OF the
judicial history of the country. He has
always been hostile to the decisions OF
the courts whenever they conflicted with
his own views. and he has over and over
again. in private and in public. given ex-
preston to his opposition to them.
Nov, there is motive for all this,
and there is a cause for this attack upon
the institutions of the land. / think
I can tell you what it is It arises from
the fact that when Mr. Roosevelt was
President Ire was not allowed to In
fuence and control the decisions OF the
courts and they declined to pass under
the domination Of his arbitrary and i'm
perious will. OF course, judges are only
human: they have made mistakes, and
their adjudicatfons are not divine; but
one thing they have done to their eternal
credit. and that is they have stood as a
barrier between him and dictatorial
usurpation.
During the whole of his administra-
| ton he had an idea lingering in his
mind that 1t was the duty of the courts
to carry out the policy Of the executive
branch of the government, and this be-
lief was connected with another idea,
| and that was that SO far as executive
functions were concerned he was absO-
lutely supreme. unlimited by the speci-
| fications of the instrument that created
them.
No Persuasion Needed.
Now what is the present situation
| Mr.. Roosevelt is candidate for
President of the United States. There
| was no need of any persuasion what
ever to induce him to enter the field.
There was no dragging OF Cincinnatus
| from the plow, and there was no neces-
| sity that any Mark Antony should
thrice upon the Lupercal offer him the
! crown. He was willing to come with his
own crown and frame a constitution of
| his own. in accordance with the charms
| ing and alluring platform that he has
promulgated. l do not know what sort
| Of new party we will have IL he Is
nominated and elected. We have quite
a number OF parties on hand now.
There are republicans and democrat.
and insurgents and progressives and rad

Senator Proposes That Ex-President

Reversal of judicial decisions by popular

was denounced in the Senate late yester-
day afternoon by Senator Rayner of
Maryland as 1.-The most dangerous doc

Senator Rayner declared that in discuss

President he did not speak as a partisan.
because he believed the republicans could
nominate no man who would be easier to
defeat

said the senator, there are a number OF
suggestions. such as the election of sem
ators by the people and primary elections
for the nomination of political candidates,
with which l entirely agree. What de-
sire to call attention to today is unique
and original conception which he ad-
vanced upon this occasion and which !
quote literally as follows:
The decision of state court on con-
stitutional question should be subject to
revision by the people Of the state.
IF any considerable number of people
feel that the decision is in defiance of
justice, they should be given the right by
petition to bring before the voters at some
subsequent election, special or otherwise.

Utterance of a Leader.

'lMr. President, il a proposition of this
sort had been advanced by an ordinary
agitator. or by an anarchist, no attention
would be paid to it. The people would un-
derstand that it was utterly meaningless.
and it would involve no actual danger to
the republic. We must realize, however.
that this is the utterance of a political
leader who occupies as prominent q place
before the public as any one in the coun-
try, who is gifted with tremendous power,
who commands great popularity, and who
for seven years occupied the position OF
President of the United States. and who
is now q candidate again for Office.
Il would like to accept the apology
that has been offered for him by one OF
the leading papers of the country when
it says:
