RooSEvELT'S OTHER SIDE

Charles Z. Russell in the Coming
Nation: | recall nov a curious fact
about this man that seems to be both
appropriate here and illuminating.
i have been following his career
closely for twenty-six years. In
Washington years ago and in New
York later he was long in official posi-
tons, where my work as a newspaper
man caused me to observe him with
diligence. / know as much about him
as about any man who has been in
public life in my time. / know of him
many stories that illustrate his meas
ureless ambitions, his arrogance,
cruelty, savage instincts, love of
brutal sports, his i'll manners, his total
lack of consideration for others; his
rudeness to the aged and weak. But |
have never heard of one anecdote
about him that told of an act of kind
ness or charity or generosity. No one
has ever told me of an instance where
he tried to relieve suffering or took
any interest in misfortune or tried to
relieve suffering or took any interest
in misfortune or tried to tighten dis
tress, or showed for so much as one
instant n touch of kindly emotion. |
have never heard of his exhibiting on
any occasion the slightest interest in
the welfare of any human being except
himself, and / don't believe any other
newspaper mar has ever heard of such
an instance.
And it is odd, now, that l look back
upon these things, that of all the pub
lie men | have known in all my life, he
IS the only one of whom n of this
can be said. Every other public mar
in the whole catalogue of my observa-
tion, from Mckinley to John Powers and
Hinky Dink, all had some redeeming
touch. To have lived so many years, to
have left not one warm or kindly
impression anywhere on this earth is a
horrible fate and singular. l do not
believe it can be paralleled in history.
1t makes the mystery of his following
perfectly inexplicable. Some hen have
been admired and followed b ecause of
their achievements or their brilliancy.
This mans achievements are / mass of
f%ictions, and instead of being brilliant in
any way, he is, in fact, one of the dull
lest of Gods creatures. Other men
have been followed because of their per-
sonal magnetism and kindness. This
man has no such attributes. For the
marvel of his case I know of but enc
explanation that seems at all adequate,
and that is a combination of his exouis-
lite knowledge of the press agents art
and the strange conditions of the hour
IN which an old system is breaking down
and an unthoughtful people has not vet
perceived the thing that must take its
place.

TROUBLE ENOUGH

TROUBLE ENOUGH
We do not need to borrow
Our troubles from tomorrow;
Wen find enough to worry US before
we're through today;
We waste our time in fretting
Ore what's TO come, forgetting
The goodness and the gladness that are
rich along the way.
We do not need 10 ponder
On what we left back yonder-
Back yonder on the blotted page that
tells of yesterday;
We should recall the gla6ness,
And not bring up the sadress.
But let the gloom go to the dark and
let the sunshine stay.
This casting up trouble
Will only make it double
Will only wilt the flowers hat are sweet
along the road.
This thing of being fearful
Instead of waxing cheerful
Because of what has gone, will only add
unto our load.
So, what's the use to borrow
Our. trouble from tomorrow,
Or clutch the sorrows that we thought
were ours or yesterday?
Today will have its fretting,
But let Us go, forgetting,
And Joy will overtake us while we walk
along the way. Wilbur ID. Mes

Another untruth Exposed.

From the Carrolton (Mo.) Record:
President Taft never vetoed a gen.
eral pension bill. The fellows who are
circulating reports to the contrary are
either ignorant or desire to wilfully
and maliciously misrepresent. 1t
pays to tell the truth in politics. as
well as in business.

HE foregoing extracts from the news and editorial col
umns OF the newspapers have been selected almost at
random and numerous as they are they represent
but a fragment of the innumerable stories with which
the papers Of this happy country are filled day by day.
Aren't they splendid stories. Can any American read them
without a thrill of pride and satisfaction?
And when we stop to think of it, men and brethren, must we
not realize that the concrete facts they present are of immeasurably
more value and Importance than all the theories, ali the fine spun
fads and fancies, that were ever invented. How trivial, how like
sounding brass and tinkling cymbal, seems all the talk about
"bosses" and Initiatives" and "referendums," about this or that
petty tissue" in the presence of the splendid FACT that there
is peace and plenty in all the land, that men are busy and women
are happy and little children are fed and clothed
AL. these things have come to us under the laws we now have,
through the sanity and sense and wisdom Of the great party that
is new in power. Why jeopardize it all in a rash experiment? Why
change for the mere sake of a change? Why take a chance when
we already enjoy a certainty?
Why vote for ANYBODY but Taft and Sherman and The
Republican Party?

The Difference.

From the Belvedere (Ill.) Rspub-

The difference between the Roose-

Mr.. Roosevelt talked loudly against
those whom he called "m~alefactors,"
and secretly protected some of them
from the law. while Mr.. Taft has made
no threats. but has Just enforced the
laws.
