by hearing old records of mo-

fused idea of the language Of
this one if they are not advised
by Introductory note that Presi-
dent Roosevelt spoke a tongue
peculiarly his own and unlike
any other.
The men who have been men,
toned as Mr.. Roosevelt's ghosts
are Tommy Corcoran. Hugh
Johnson. Sam Rosenman. Rex
Tugwell. Lowell Mellett, Robert
f. Sherwood and Charles Mi
chelson.
Considered individually they
are not an imposing group from
a literary point of view and, of
them all only Sherwood can
make any claim 10 distinction
That claim certainly is still
unsettled, for we have dozens
of playwrights Of equal merit
and only time will tell whether
anything he wrote for the stage
has actual stamina as literature.

Roosevelt in those days lay IN
his wide experience and particu-

He impaired 10 some of the
early speeches a LONELINESS that
the arlstocrat could not achieve
because he never had met the
so-called common man except
on terms of condescension.
Still none of this was jew
elry for Hugh had no gift OF
beauty in writing and any one
who thinks Mellett is capable
of anything above the grade of
quiet mediocrity is invited TO
produce one sample out Of all
his years in the newspaper busi-
