Dangerous Disloyalty

Secretary of War Garrison, apparently act
ing for the Wilson administration, has delivered
a merited rebuke to former President Theodore
Roosevelt on account of the latter's tactless
speech at the citizens instruction camp at Patts-
burg, N. Y. This rebuke, while contained in a
telegram to Major General Leonard Wood who
was responsible for permitting Colonel Roosevelt
to speak, was in reality intended for the latter.
It is so fair and conclusive an indictment OF
Colonel Roosevelt's inflammatory speech that
the Palladium takes pleasure in herewith repro
ducing it as very expressive of the Palladium
feelings concerning the ex-Presdent's speech:
just the report in the newspapers OF the
speech President Roosevelt at the Patts
burg camp. is difficult to conceive of anything which
could have effect the real value
OF this experiment than such an accident
This camp held under Government auspices success
fully demonstrating many things Of great moment.
It's it conveyed its own
lessons in its practical and successful opera
ton and results.
mo opportunity should have furnished anyone
to present to the matter excepting that which
essential training they were there
Anything else could only have the effect Of
dstactng attention from the real nature Of the expert
ment dvertng consideration to Issues which excite
troversy sonsnn ifeeIins thereby impair
effective.
There must be any opportunity given Platts-
burg any other similar camp any
nate consequences"
Colonel Roosevelt in his speech criticised
President Wilson because he had not prepared
the country for war and because he had not
joined Englands raid on Germany because of the
latters invasion of Belgium over year ago and
the Lusitania incident. Colonel Roosevelt shows
Enthusiastically that he is pro-British to the point
of gladly involving this country in the present
war on Britans side. Consequently, when he
denounces those of his fellow-citizens who are
pro-Germans, even though they not such to
the point of desiring to involve their country in
this war on Germany's side, and accuses them
of disloya and seditious conduct in their at
tempts to secure for Germany a fair hearing be-
fore the bar of American public opinion, he lays
himself open to the further we'll merted charge
of himself being sedtious and disoyal in his pro-
Britishism which has for it's object the immola-
ton of hundreds of thousands of American lives
on Englands bloody war affairs.
