ment, 1t is feared comes from the heart rather
than the head. Roosevelt to the ruination
of his opportunities to be of service to his
country in its time Of stress, has done little
but hurl bricks ut the administration, hoping
tliat his criticisms may rebound to his own
glcrifcation. His limitless energy has found
vent only in spleen, and his talent as u leader
OF men has been used only in direction
which portends evil instead OF good to the
common cause. His utterances have come
dangerously near disloyalty, though that may
have been furtherest from his intention.
Whatever good there may be in his heart, his
ego long ago reached dimensions that will
not permit him to work in harmony with

Who transmitted brains to Willie
From an ancient family vacuum.

And surrounded him with laughter.
