CAUTIOUS CRITICISM
Editorial in the Leadville Courier
Journal.

The Chicago Evening Post, the
weather not agreeing with its spirits
perhaps, is moved to make the fol-
lowing rather sour criticism Of the
kaiser In the role Of orator-of-the-
occasion:
The kaiser is weakening. His
third year Of war statement Is
quite the poorest in style and
composition that he has yet put
out.
It contains no new phrase.
There Is not a line in 1t compar-
able to- you shall return victor
ious before the leaves turn. Nor
Is there anything in It as biting

for more Of his 1'quick victory"

grams, but he did not even at
tempt to coin one. We feel sure
that his admirers in this country
will be deeply disappointed at this
lack Of punch.
Our own mayo Dr. either Of our
senator's, not to speak Of a; con-
siderable section Of our e~represen-
tatives in congress, have been
right along. The kaiser ought
to get Jim Ham and Billy Mason
to send him over a model for his
next speech. They car hardly aft
ford to have him fan out in this
weak way.
This is as unreasonable as it ia un.
just. The kaiser as a speaker is in a.
good keller as he was before the wa
or at the wars beginning. He wa.
the paramount ass Of Christendon
twenty years ago.. So absurd wer,
his speeches that the Germans, al
though some Of them shared vii

as the generalissimo Of God the Faith

There is one thing I would ask Of

that Is that they refrain from crttt-

said Mr.. Rogers, as he went on the
Job today. Y.
Doubtless we will not be able In
the initial stages Of the work, which
is extensive and ramifying, to give 100

during that time there will be q lack
Of criticism. It will take a little time
to build our organization. for 1t Is u
to make it strong and eflcl-

"By no means does this Imply Ina
we will not welcome criticism. On the
contrary we want constructive criu-

Red Cross affairs in the northwest SO
we'll organized that we can give tne
highest possible degree Of e~fhc1ency,,

and at all times are welcome sugges-

who sees anything that might be bet
