n CUNT CLEMENS, Mich, May 13.-Mr. Roosevelt
lVI though notably less able and less respectable is
phaticay the Asquith of American politics. He is
of power and he greediy eager to get back into
power and he does scrupe at any methods matter
how unfair the Administration how harmful to the
country in order to accomplish his purely selfish political
purposes
The attack which Mr. Roosevelt now makes upon the
Administration is just baseless the attack which AS
quh made upon Lloyd George, and it will prove to be just
futile in it's effect upon the Administration and just
fatal in it's effect upon Mr. Roosevelt
The immediate of Mr.. Roosevet's present out
burst two in number
The first is the fact that the magazine which
hires Mr. Roosevelt at 81 per word to make vicious
attacks upon the Government of the United States during
war time excluded from the mails in one issue for
wholly false and absolutely unused attack upon the Pres
dent of the United States and the diplomacy Of the United
States calculated bring country people
contempt and consequently to inure
Mr. Roosevelt did not write this particular article, but
it conceivable that any to the existence of
which pays literally for political slander
natural the part of Mr.. Roosevelt for his
profitable, if not patriotic, contract
The second of Mr.. Roosevelt's immediate agita
ton is the fact that the small and lonely New York
paper which supporting Mr. Roosevets perpetual aspira
tons for the Presidency recently rebuked public
enemy by the representatives the United
ment for printing certain articles which had no
foundation in fact and which dscredted the officers
United States Army and held them up rdicule
umey without the slightest basis of truth justice in the
allegations.
In other country in the world, in critical times
traitorous publications like Mr. Roosevets magazine and
Mr. Roosevets newspaper whose only objects printing
falsehood petty political spite against the President
and partisan support Of the aspirations of rival cand
date would have been wholly suppressed reasonable
Our Government however, is lenient with such offend
ing publications and with Mr. Roosevelt himself because the
Administration properly believes that in republic right
of free speech and free publication should be
though there be occasional dsloya abuses rgh
in the of Mr.. Roosevelt and the magazine which
hires him and the newspaper which politically supports him.
That the United States Government entirely right
in it's denuncatiOn of Mr. ROoseves New York newspaper
concusively in the suit which
resignation from that Of its editor, Mr.
Simonds we'll known throughout this country his par
otic articles on the
Mr. Smonds definitely stated showed that his desire
to retire from this dsoyal paper fact that
this paper habuay invented and concocted cables
in it's office for the purpose of manufacturing false
material with which to attack the Government of the United
States and the army of the United States for and self
ish political purposes
Of course, Mr. Simonds would willingly remain
nected with any dsoyal publication, matter how profit
able that connection might be- but there apparently moth
ing Mr. Rooseves makeup to his connection with
any publication, matter how traitorous long as that
connection will to line his and further his un-
scrupuous methods of promoting his personal political as
prations.
Mr. Roosevets attempted reflections upon the Hearst
publications unimpOrtant.
It is sufficient to say in reply that whatever criticism
the Hearst publications ndulged in constructive cr
csm founded established fact upon
