INFLATED WITH VANITY.
T. r.. Thirst for Power Makes Him
FORGET Friends and Patriotism.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir. The undersigned has been an old
time sdmirer and supporter Of Colonel
Roosevelt but. never again! The recent
revelations of his character and his furi-
Gus craze for Office prove him an untrust-
worthy and unsafe man FOR any Office OF
importance. and obviously a good man 20
let alone.
When he made his triumphal tour of
Europe hobnobbed with royalty and
heard the multitude acclaim the mighty
hunter his vanity assumed control. and
ne hungered for a return TO supreme
power. Once more he must WELD the
American sceptre and do it quickly. He
could not walt until his friend. President
Taft. had completed his traditional sec
ond term. but he must drive him out and
take control at once As a result he en-
tered upon his campaign Of mudraking
The aureole Of the American chief magis-
tracy the highest honor in the world he
dragged in the mire OF billingsgatc and SO
disgraced his country that We became
the laughing stock Of the world.
Determined on rule or ruin. he does not
hesitate TO attempt the destruction OF the
Grand Old Party 10 which he Is so much
Indebted To secure the votes Of the
demagogue and the Socialist he stoops to
their level and adopts the recall and other
unsound dogmas OF the sand lot orators
In the dislntegration Of parties some
may turn to Democracy for relief II will
be in vain. They are, even now, before
election. refusing the necessary support
10 our navy that they may have the more
money 10 divide among themselves. As
party they are devoid Of patriotism
They are the same old Democratic party
which gave US the war OF 1861 and which
declared in the Democratic National Con-
vention OF 1854 that the war was "A failure.
Had they won at that election and defeat
ed Lincoln we would to-day have two, II
not several. republics in the United
States. and Mexico and South America
would be divided up. as Africa is to-day
among the greater and lesser powers OF
Europe. to say nothing OF Japan.
President Taft represents the patriotic.
the safe and sane element OF our citizens:
he has made an excellent executive off,
Ger. and Is entitled To second term.

MONEY AND BUSINESS.

The markets action during the last
week has been as indefinite and un-
satisfactory as the records Of trading
during various other siXday periods In
recent months. Applied restorauves Of
good crop reports. Industrial activity
and improved business spirit have
failed TO revive that energy which in
years gone by has marked numerous
bull movements and established prece-
dents which by comparison reveal the
present poor showing which business
on the Stock Exchange is making. In
ordinary years there would be some
midsummer rest due in the stock mar
ket, and were this an ordinary Prcsi-
Dental campaign year there would nos
be so much surprise expressed at the
laggard spirit Of the security market
But this year is an exception. Not only
in the opinion Of leading men OF affairs
is business ignoring politics. but the
vast wave of activity In trade and in
dustrv has proved such 10 be a fact.
The revival Of business is coming nee
essarily after several years of depres
sion. During the same period Of busi-
ness depression. the beginning OF the
end OF which apparently is now in
sight the security market has been ex-
periencing stagnation.
When weekly reports are emphasiz-
ing so much Improvement in the bust
ness world. why does the stock market
continue TO reflect such vacillating
sentiment? Possibly the best reasons
are that public investment capital, al
ways extremely sensitive, made more
so by the disturbed conditions due to
the Ovcrgreedy desires Of some cor
poratiOIs, resulting in government
prosecutions for violations OF the law.
has been and is hesitating. while dur
ing this hesitation a large total Of un-
digested securities have accumulated
which are not being absorbed. The
market is consequently choked with
an oVerprOduCtion OF issues. which
have checked activity and are too
heavy a burden for the market TO
carry. This accumulated load OF Sc
curity offerings has prevented buoy
ancy and the market has failed -
make favorable progress during the
weeks when money has been very easy
and when il should have been antici-
pating our future good times. There
is a feeling tha. the demands for
money, which are increasing for com
mercial accounts and the close -at-hand
extra demands for financing our big
crops, may further retard developments
i'm the stock market and cause a de-
preston. AS il now stands investment
business is not keeping pace with othA
lines of business.
Evidence Of the broad development
of trade in practically every branch
continues TO come from all parts If the
country except New York City. Com
mercial agencies and other sources OF
information give glowing reports of the
general commercial and Industrial sit
uation and unhesitatingly pronounce
the present outlook as the most favor
