CALLS 1T MINOR ISSUE

OYSTER BAY. L. l., April 13.-Col.
Roosevelt gave out a statement this eve.
ming %favoring "a protective tarin, but
declaring that the tariff Is not the great
issue of the fight against President Will
son. II Is rather that the American
people must find It's own SOUL" he said.
From his advocacy Of a return to a
protective tariff the Colonel's statement
went to the theme Of national honor
and America first. last and all the
time touched upon the Mexican situa-
ton and closed with a sentence about
the peace Of cowardice"-a phrase
which is believed to have come TO his
mind simultaneously with the thought
Of Mr.. Wilson.
Col. Roosevelt's statement follows:
From time to time It has recently
been a~nnounced that the fight against
Mr.. Wilson Is TO be waged only. or al
mos, only. on the tariff. Such an appeal
would be an appeal to he belly and
not to the soul Of the American nation.
By all means provide for the things
Of the body. but only on condition tina
vi treat the body as the servant Of the
soul.
II believe heartily in a protective
tariff. Unless we return to "A protective
tariff, preferably administered through
"A commission Of experts. we shall face
widespread economic disaster at the end
OF this war.
But this Is not the great issue on
which the fight IL to be made II the
highest service In to be rendered the
American people. The issue Is that the
American people must find Its own soul.
National honor is a spiritual thing that
cannot be haggled over in terms Of
dollars. We must stand not only for
America first. but for America first and
las, and all the time and without any
second.
Loyalty Must he Wholesale.
our loyalty must he TO the whole
United States. The East must stand
for the safeguarding OF the Pacific coast
against every foe. The West must
stand for the safeguarding Of the Allan

West and North and South alike must

honor of every woman on the most re-
mote ranch on the Mexican border as a
sacred trust ID be guaranteed by the
might Of our united nation.
