Theordore Roosevelt publishes
an editorial in the Kansas CITY
Star and other newspapers. in
which he says: "Our troops in
France have received thousands
OF collins, but an insufficient
of shoes" Had anyone
with a German name given pub
hcity to that statement, he
would have been accused as a
pro-German sympathizer,
frightened the parents of the
United States and lending COM
fort to the enemy. But Roose-
velt says it and gets away with

say that we would have been

the big program over two years
ago, but it could not have been

Should Call a Halt.

Long time friends, defenders
and supporters of the Kansas
City Star are disappointed. We
do not doubt the loyalty and
earnestness of this great paper,
but we deplore the lapse of judg-
ment which has given the pub
lie several of the Roosevelt arti-
Giles. In a recent editorial, rath-
er labored at that, The Star at
tempted to explain and justify.
1t did neither.
This paper is the last on the
list to deny the right or the du
ty Of criticism Of public officials.
1t believes in a free press and the
pointing out of official mistakes.
Had Colonel Roosevelt been en-
tirely sincere in his work he
could have pointed his criticisms
at the evils to be corrected and
made them effective. The meth
cd he used not only failed in this,
but dicredited his own motives.
His articles are such as are used
in a political campaign to dis
credit a candidate for Office and
gain votes for himself. This is
a time of war, a time when every
earnest official needs and must
have the support of the people,
a time when the herculean eff
forts to bring the forces of the
United States into the service
of humanity should have every
ounce Of the patriotic strength
Of the greatest and the least.
When Lord NorthclifFe attacked
high English offivials he knew
that if he made his point he
could overthrow the administra-
ton. Our system is different.
Roosevelt can not overthrow the
administration, but he can
hamper and hamstring.
Mr.. Roosevelt has smirched
his own great record, has shown
the soul Of a jealous and disap-
pointed man and has accomplish
ed nothing. The very bitterness
OF his work has made it to re-
coil and become innocuous. He
has forever placed himself out
side the consideration of the
American people.
