METHOD IN HIS TIRaDE5

1.-THE striking parallel be.
tween Mr.. Roosevelt's furious
assault on the Idaho supreme court
and that of the Chicago labor
unions on Judge Anderson is not
the thing of greatest Significance"
says the Indianapolis News.
Reviewing the attitude OF Rouse-
welt toward the courts the News
continues:
That Mr.. Roosevelt furnished
the model for the Chicago assailant
would be plain ever if the latter
had not cited his language when
he blackguarded Judge Anderson
on bis last visit here. The whole
tendency of abuse and defiance of
courts in recent years is to be
traced directly to Mr.. Roosevelt's
encouragement and example. He
has very definite purposes ard a
very clear vision. He knows as
well as any man, and better than
most, that if he can induce the
people TO adopt direct government
by which they my overturn courts
and make constitutions in aOy
moment of passion, there would be
a condition making necessary a
strong executive. He has at the
same time brought himself for
ward for hat position in the most
strenuous of ways, designating
himself in this capacity as Steward
of the public welfare" In tnat
lies the greatest significance.
Its meaning is plainly seen ia
the light of history. Gibbon says:
by declaring themselves protectors
of the people Marius and Caesar
had subverted the constitution, Of
their country" We may see his
tory repeating its self down to
details. For years Mr.. Roosevelt
has been proclaiming himself in
season and out as protector Of the
people, finally hitting Oh the phrase
steward of the public welfare:
thus definitely crystallizing himself
in the popular Imagination as the
n that stands for the rights of
all the people against everything
and everybody. In his last furious
assault on the Idaho courts he puts
the doctrine more plainly than ever
implying the duty of the hour To
be that people shall overturn courts
whenever their decisions do not
suit and shall make thsir oEn
constitutions" las if any one else
ever made them.
Mr.. Roosevelt probably knrws
the history of julius Caesar better
than any living American. He has
made special study kof it. Any
views of his course in rec mt years
must admit hat he is pltterning
on it as closely a possible. lie has
the wit TO know that human nature
is Il G same and that the arts If
the demumgogue before the first
century will work as well IN the
twentieth, and that the dire t way
to overthrow the cnnstitIuol and
make himself the head OF the
country is for a man to proclaim
himself the protector Of the people
as Caesar did, or in the Roosevelt
phrase steward of the publis wei
fare" AT this moment Mr..
Roosevelt is trying rs had &c
overthrow the constitution and
substitute the passions OF the mas,
for the rule Of government. with
his strong hand in pefp tuity tt

Marius strove two thOUssnG year,
