tingent for Camp Upton, died last

Oh, heed their keen anguish and

To close the wide gashes, to still the

COLONEL ROOSEVELT.

Only a few days ago we had Occa-
sion to disagree with those of the
opinion that President Wilson should
find some suitable office connected
with war work for Theodore Roose-
welt. We tried to point out that 1t
the President to invite the co-opera-
ton of a man who is so out of SYM
pathy as is Mr.. Roosevelt with all the
policies of the Administration. And,
we were trying to set FORTH Mr.
Roosevelt himself comes to our aid
with his latest attack upon the Pres
ident, the Secretary of War, the Post
prominently connected with the
Washington Government. Following
are a few of the abusive staten ents
made by Mr.. Roosevelt in his latest
article:
The Administration used its
powers over the press to stife
criticism of Government ineffl-
cheney. SuCn power invites uil-
scrupulous men seeking to aid
Germany to gain license.
Congress should not leave the
size of the army to an inefficient
Secretary Of War.
The Administration has rem
dered 1t dangerous for any man
to speak the truth.
These are dangerous remarks for
anyone to make at this time. Unless
MIR. Roosevelt has absolute proof Of
the truth of what he says, (and his
explanations in support of his asser-
tons are not at all convincing), he
places himself liable to an accusation
Of sedition, which he himself says is
a. form of treason. Yet, he asserts
that cit Is our duty to stand by the
President just so long as he stands
by the country. Now just what Mr..
Roosevelt means by the phrase $50
long as he stands by the country is
rather vague, but If he means doing
that which is thought to be for the
best interests of the country, then
President Wilson has stood by the
country, if any man in this land has
done so. So 1t would seem that Mr..
Roosevelt stands condemned by his
own remarks, for he states in another
paragraph that sit is an infamy un-
truthfully to assail our public ser
wants. Would Mr.. Roosevelt have us
believe that his actions are infamous?
