presses absolute readiness to abide by
court decisions, since it is his duty
to do so under the Constitution. How
ever. while expressing this spirit of
compliance, he unquestionably con-
trives to put the court in bad light.
1t set up. he says, a judicial wall"
across the road to national safety"
1t. therefore, became his duty. he i'm
plies, to adopt "the quickest and most
effective constitutional way to break"
this barrier. The obvious incon-
sistency of his use of the word con-
stitutional" here is somewhat embar-
RAISING.
The collection does not reach the
point Of dealing with the late court
bill, however, for Volume v covers
only the year 1886. Its tone can be
understood from its title-"The People
Approve" With undeniable reason,
Mr.. Roosevelt took the election re-
Burns of that year to mean that the
people were willing to trust him with
'Another term of leadership. Thus he
sums up the final year of his first
period in office-the court opposed
him and the public gave him its sup
port.
Were these defensive introductions
the only persuasive feature of the COL
lection they might perhaps be passed
over without comment. Examining
the actual papers, however, one finds
considerable material which one must
regret. There is. for example, in VOL
ume Nv. Letter of Encouragement
to Sick Boy" with an accompanying
note stating, 'The foregoing is a sam
pie Of many similar letters which
have written during my term in Office
to crippled or sick children in vari-
ous hospitals" Now, Of all vote-getting
devices, that of kissing the babies is
the most obvious. Granted that the
President has Q kind heart and that
