Two Uses for Myths.

The Greek philosopher Aristotle
said that myths were invented by leg
islators "to persuade the many and to
be used In support Of law" Modern
scholars think it more likely that early
lawmakers found these myths already
prevalent and saw how they could be
made an instrument for governing
men. Such myths appear to be Of two
kinds: those which are used to lend
weight to authority, and those which
have been invented by the weak and
oppressed to coax or brighten the
strong into treating them more
leniently.

Chicago, Jan. l2-Theodore Roosevelt
sent singing afraignment of President

the Congress hote. yesterday with the
avowed purpose of choosing Chicago as
the place and June Z as the time for

The attack of the former president
upon the present president came in the
form Of a telegram which, according to
Chairman George w. Perkins. was read
to the national committeeman shortly
after they assembled in the Florentine
room at II o'clock yesterday forenoon.
The message from Colonel Roosevelt
follows:

''There is a crying need that we shall
east aside all purely partisan considera-
tions and disregard all but the vital is
sues affecting the national life, and
shall strive whole heartedly for a sound
AmerJcanism, which shall insist that
every man who is within our borders
shall be an American and nothing else.
We must do Justice to our people at
home; we must insist that they have
justice when abroad.
I'VE must insist on the most thor
ough-going preparedness to protect our
rights against all possible attacks by
any aggressors. Such preparedness is
the best guarantee of any honorable
peace.
1--WE must ever remember that there
cannot be such preparedness in things
material unless there is also that pre-
paredness of soul and spirit which alone
renders a nation fit to perform its high
and difficult duties in national and in
ternational life.

In his message to the committeeman,
Governor Hiram w. johnson of Califor
