If Theodore Roosevelt former president of the
United States, were alive today, what would he have
said about renomnatirfg Wesley L. Jones on the re-
publican ticket for United States senator?
Could he have tolerated him?
Republicans Of this state may well consider this
What would Roosevelt have had to say about any
senator who to the defense of the kaiser when
were on the brink of war?
If HE had called him traitor in 1917, would he to-
day be supporting him? M
Whatever may have been Roosevelts faults, hypoc-
risy was not one. Roosevelt would not could not,
have accepted Jones under these circumstances any
more than he could have accepted William Lorimer,
whom he denounced as corruptionist.
Lorimer, you remember, was accused of purchasing
his seat in the United States senate He convict
ed too by the United States senate and his seat was
declared vacated
But Senator Jones voted for Lorimer. He voted for
the corruptonist
If Roosevelt wouldn't attend a republican luncheon
because Lorimer was guest would he today, as a re-
publican, countenance the reelection Of senator
who not only voted for Lormer, but went further and
Endorsed the kaiser?
If Roosevelt were alive today, you may be sure that
he would REMEMBER JONES.

The plea for communication Of the death sentence OF Roy
Wolff 17year-od murderer. is based sentiment
declares j. r. Dorsey district attorney of Kern county
California. He urges that Wolff be hanged October %
The Star doubts whether hanging Wolff will improve his
character or whether will prevent future MURDERS any
than the hanging of other youthful criminals pre-
vented Wolff from killing Greer
The Star believes it is WISER sometimes, TO abide by
mere sentiment than by the coldbloodsd, nearsghted
justice that seeks to revenge one murder by committing
second-for killing is murder, whether done legally
illegally.
Mere sentiment has altered the destinies of nations
Mere sentiment" prompted Queen Isabella to sell her
jewels, and enabled Columbus to discover America,
Mere sentiment brought the adventure-oving Lafay-
cite to America when the colonies facing defeat in
their fight for independence.
Mere sentiment caused Harriet Beecher Stowe to write
Uncle Toms Cabin which helped to abolish slavery.
Mere sentiment is the spark that gnites reason and
spurs on to add mestones the road of human
progress.

Young Roosevelt
Follows Fathers
Chicago Example

CH.ICAGO.-Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt, jr.,
emuIating the example
set by his father, has
Cancelled his engage
ment to speak at the
Hamilton club, in Chi
cago, because Mayor
William Hale Thomp-
SON was also on the pro-
gram. The younger
Roosevelt declared he
could not speak at Chi
cago on political mat
tiers unless he felt free
to say what he thought
about Thompson. The
Chicago mayor had TAX
en- a pro-German atti-
tude before the actual
declaration of war.
/ A few years ago The
odore Roosevelt, former
president of the u. s.,
refused to attend an af-
fair in Chicago because
William Lorimer, U. S.
senator, accused and
convicted in the senate
|of obtaining his seat by
u corruption fund, was
also a guest.
