Roosevelt Needed

One of the great politically indie
pendent newspapers Of the country,
the New York Times, says editorially
in it's issue of Thursday:
Throughout the country there will
be heartfelt rejoicing at Colonel
Roosevelt's delivery from the pain
and peril of serious Illness. The
surance thai he is on the way to re-
covery, that the danger is past.
"Ex President Roosevelt has been

They viii pray for his speedy return
to good health and his old eXuberance
of spirit that he may long enjoy that
strength II mind and body that has
enabled him to perform such labors in
the common interest OF all the people.
With the Times we believe that the
country, in its most critical period
since the civil war. can i'll afford to
lose such forceful character and clar-
flying influences as embodied in the
dynamic figure of Theodore Roosevelt.
From the very fact that he has dealt
with vital affairs SO emphatically as to

the bigness of events as contrasted
with the littleness of Some mems
minds who have been put in high
places.

But Facts Arc Stubborn.

The report Of the provost marshal
general upon the operation of the Sc
lective draft law proves to be an in
teresting document in its disclosures
of the relative patriotism Of the vari-
Gus states. The law permitted state
to take credit in it's quota for the
number of men whom it had in he
national guard on the first day Of April
and for the number of its citizens who
voluntarily enlisted in either the regu-
lar army OF the national guard prior to
June first. Upon that basis the ratio
of credit for the whole country was
404e per cent and there were 26 states
which went above this figure.
Setting the par" OF the laws opera
ton at 40.42 per cent, there were, III
consequence, % states which show at
less than par. 1t is interesting to note
that 16 of these % lie south of Mason
and Dixon's Line and that ten Of the
II states which made up the Southern
Confederacy are among the number.
Among the % states which show above
par, only three lie south of the Mason
and Dixon line, and only three of them
can be classed as safely Democratic.
We do not cite these facts for the pur-
pose of provoking any sectional or
partisan discussion, nor vet for point
ing the moral which adorns the tale of
the senators from Southern states who
are so vehement in rising to defend ad-
ministration methods, but facts are
stubborn things, in these hours of
mon partisan" support of the govern
ment's war policy.
