THE COLONEL'S IDEA

Great crises develop greatness in
some men and foolishness in others.
Col. Theo. Roosevelt. who is now in
Florida to catch devil fish, gave out
an interview at Jacksonville in which
he advocated sending an expedition
airy force abroad at once, force to
be composed of from fifty thousand
to hundred thousand men, and
units to be kept organizing all the
while in order to maintain this force
up to the full strength.
The farce of the recent expedition-
ary force into Mexico will not be
blotted from the memorv of the pub
lie i'm a long while. Expeditionary
forces are not likely to become pop
ular with the American public after
that. Besides, what could fifty thous-
and men do? Where would they land
and in what manner would they op-
crate to any advantage? Fifty thous-
and men is a mere handful in this
war of enormous numbers and guam
titles. Besides. we will need all the
men that can be raised to repel inva-
sion, should it come to that. The
more the colonel talks the more it
becomes eveident that the country is
fortunate in not having him as presi-
dent at this critical period.
