Senator Stone Catalogues T. r.
Senator Stone yesterday in the
United States paid his respects
to the war critics, and especially
to Theodore Roosevelt, self an
nointed critic of all things spir-
itual and material. Senator Stone
says of Roosevelt as follows;
81 now introduce my star wit
ness, Theodore Roosevelt him
self-whom | characterize as the
most seditious man of conse-
quence in America. The heart of
this man is afame with inordi-
nate ambition and he runs a.
muck. His chief thought is not
to help the government, but al
ways of Roosevelt. Almost ev-
cry day this man speaks in bit
ter and contemptuous disparage-
ment of the President and the
majority members of this Con-
gress. Every week for long
time he has been and still is
publishing, under contract for a
money consideration-think of
lit, for money-villainous screeds
/ in The Kansas City Star-at-
tacking the President and the
! government. These Roosevelt
contributions are reproduced in
numerous important newspa-
pers. Whatever may be said of
the papers reproducing these dis
loyal utterances The Kansas
City Star is chiefly responsible"
"For example, Roosevelt de-
nounces the President and the
government in terms that would
subject almost any other citi-
zen to arrest-yet his utterances
which | say would be denounced
as REASONABLE il made by Others
are widely published without ev
en- official protest.
Il have quoted these utter
4 ances OF Roosevelt, first, to SHOW
that his vaunted calm, self adj
vertised, of a superior brand o.
patriotism is empty, and, second
ly, to inquire why Roosevelt
may say things with impunity
which a citizen of lesser conse
quence dare not even repea'
without danger of indictment fol
disloyalty."
