NEW YORK, Aug. 13-The spirit OF
Colonel Roosevelt, through the med
ium Of posthumous letter, today
Joined in the attacks upon methods OF
secrecy employed by President Wilson
in connection with the peace confer
ence.
The letter which Is now In the hands
of Senator New, Indiana, and Repre-
sentative Mott, of New York, was adj
dressed to Harry Wilson Walker, New
York newspaper man and author. who
has been connected with the war trade
board. 1t was written November A.,
1918, just two months before his
death, and was as follows.
"Mr. Harry Wilson Walker,
National Press club,
Washington. D. @.
Dear Mr.. Walker:
81 want to thank you for your let
ter. All straight. In view OF what
you say, / shall not speak of Colonel
House again if I can possibly avoid it,
but, my dear sir, why in the name or
heaven doesn't Wilson make him
secretary of state and have him work
in the open?
Il don't believe in these secret ways
of handling business. OF course l
realize that 1t may be necessary In
wholly exceptional cases, but 1t is all
wrong to have it done habitually.
II remember well about Amos Cum
mings and the old deaf senator from
Louisiana and one of the Georgia sena-
tors; one Of the Florida senators; all
rang true metal.
with heartiest thanks,
Faithfully yours.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
The letter was written in connection
with a book written by Walker under
the title "the story of Colonel House, :
the publication of which was later
held up.

 Whatever our opinions may
 be as to statutory prohibition, no
 fair. minded man can question that in the adoption of the eigh
 teeuth amendment-if indeed it has been legally adopted-the
 principle of home rule has suffer- ed serious If not fatal impair
 ment. Nowhere in the constitu- tion is there the slightest trace of a purpose on the part of the fathers to determine questions of individual morality or persona al habit. In country of 100, ,000 GOO of people, inhabiting a vast continent, which begins with the edge of the Arctic and ends with the edge of the tropics, which is inhabited by men of many races. it is my judgment a hazardous experiment to impose by rigid con stitutional amendment a doubtful principle of morality,
 which, in my judgment, justly offends the pride of individual liberty
