That Portrait Of
Theodore Roosevelt

Everybody knows the <gentleness OF
former President TaN's soul. We
know his courtliness and manliness
and how averse he IL to giving any
one ofrense or pain. We also know
his devotion to the game Of golf.
Therefore. some inevitable reflections
obtrude themselves when we learn
that he has requested that a portrait
OF former President Roosevelt. now
hanging In the White house. but Mr..
Taft's personal property. be sent TO
his hotel at New Haven.
What will Mr.. Taft do with Il? Will
he regard 1t as sheer art? Does he
want it as a mementO Of former friend
ship?
No; none of these suppositions fili
the bill, and the conclusion Ia unavoid-
able that he needs II In his golf.
The average golfer, when he has
topped his drive persistently, or
fooled his approaches, or been gen.
orally off his game. Is too apt to take
| IL out of his caddie." Not SO with Mr..
Taft. He isn't built that way. And.
anyway, he has the dignity OF an ex'
president to maintain.

A Good Fight for Economy

Senator O'Gorman deserves credit
for the vigorous fight he made against
outrageous extravaganza In the omni-
bus public building bill because no
himself was the sponsor for one OF
the biggest items In the bill-the g..
100000 appropriation for a federal
courthouse In New York-and II. re-
Quired courage to risk injury to the
item that might come from his op-
position to appropriations that were
put In the bill by the log-rolling pro
cess.
That the fight led by the New
York senator and Senator Smith, of
Georgia, was successful in causing the
elimination Of appropriations for
buildings In nearly one hundred towns
Is evidence OF the lengths to which
the log-rolling had been carried. Sen
ator O'Gorman's close relations with
Woodrow Wilson adds Significance to
the episode, and doubtless he was
nerved In his fight by the conscious.
ness that his position was In keeping
with the desires of Mr.. Wilson.

those opposed to such recklessness
justifies the hope that with the incom-

Willie Richie, who claims the

world, evaporated one fine eve in
Vancouver a few days before he was
to fight Freddie Welsh, the English
champion, for the worlds crown.

You know Welsh has decision over

Richie the No decision champion for
the plain reason that he delights in
bouts where there ia no chance OF
losing his title unless knocked out

the other kind of a scrap. for he Is
confident that he can whir any other
