This has been our privilege, and

about President Roosevelts ad-

fact, it was probably louder in

II Will be recalled that this

They thereby exemplify the
great American characteristic
of hypocrisy by ignoring his
tory which shows that in all
our wars the President has
been pretty much of a dictator
and necessarily so.
OF course Lincoln was one OF
the greatest believers in democ-
racy that ever lived. He dis
liked his own trampling on hui

cause he believed in those
