STATEMENT OF HIS VIEWS

NEW YORK. December Theodore
Roosevelt has contributed to the Christ

statement regarding the recent prcsi-
Dental election. He says:
when I write this it appears as il
Mr. Wilson had carried the electoral
college by a small majority. The eS-
IRENE closeness of the election, render
ing us at this moment unable TO state
without question who the next Presi-
dent is to be. while the Senate is demo-
cratic and the House closely divided, is
not a satisfactory outcome of the cam
paiyD. To men who feel as the present
writer does, and who hold their convic-
tions with a fervor of intensity, and
who wished to see the American people
repudiate Mr.. Wilson's policies by an
overw he Inning majority, the disappoint-
mont is naturally keen.
"As in all such cases, the result is
more easy to explain than it had been
10 fcretclf The appeal made for Mr..
Wilson was one which would tell Very
strongly with good, honest citizens
whose pr"orcupati"n with their own
pursuits Wa Suci; that fhcy could not
be expected 10 hook deeply into our in
tcInationaI relations and the general
world conditions. This appeal was in
its essence that we should vote for Mr..
Wilson because lie had kept us out Of
war and because We were prosperous.
1t would have been highly creditable to
the average man if he had possessed
the vision and disinterestedness to dis
regard such an appeal: but the fact
that he did not disregard it merely
means that we We're not able to make
the issue clear to his eyes. 1t does not
mean that he would remain morally
obtuse if he could be shown in con-
vincing fashion where his duty lay

Effect of Adamson Law.

In addition 10 these counter-ciaims, there

was taken as al Indication that in any
conflict between capital and labor Mr.
Wilson would support labor. without AT

case or the future effects Of his action
Moreover. there was i real blurring
OF the issues, because for the first three
years OF Nj. Wilson's term the leaders
among his nominal party opponents
either feared to criticise him at ALL or
else split, half Of them assailing him
because on some given policy he had
gone too FAR, and the other half be-

All Should Prize Well Being.

Again, every man does, and ought
to. prize 4 material we'll being. To
prize it is only wrong when it is per-
n1itted to get out of perspective, and to
become the sole end of life. instead of
merely one of the means to the end
important, but to be sacrificed without
hesitation by all lofty souls, when its
retention is clearly Incompatible with
some higher good. We are at the
moment we'll off. The cost of living
is very high, and the government is
rapidly becoming unable to pay its
debts; but business man. farmer and
wage worker are all profitably busy
Under such circumstances only men of
unusual insight and foresight will make
q political change because Of just con-
Germ about future conditions. They do
nos pay much heed to the forecasts Of
politicians We have permitted our poll
ticians, our candidates for public Office.
to treat the promises made in party plat
forms and on the stump with cynical
Indifference which now reflects itself in
similar indifference on the part of the
voters. When pubic men are readily par
doned for making any promise which they
think will secure public favor before cleo
ton, and for repudiating any promise
which they think it inconvenient to keep
after election. it is impossible to expect
that the voters will not finally grow
skeptical about all promises. prophecies
