TOO MUCH ROOSEVELT ISM.
President Roosevelt's recent actions are placing him
before the country in an unenviable light and tbere is little
doubt but that his popularity has suffered severely. The
present expose of his use of the secret service to spy upon
the senators and representatives, to maintain much the
same system of espionage that is maintained upon political
associates by the Czar of Russia, has shocked the country,
The only tangible result of Roosevelt's use nf spies has
been the Oregon land fraud scandal and the recent charges
against Senator Tillman of favoring the government suit
against the Oregon & California railroad grant in order to
secure a quarter section or so of land for himself and fam
ily, which the senator's honesty of character refutes.
In Oregon, Senator Mitchell was convicted of minor
charges, of petty grafting, and hounded to his death. Nu
merous others were convicted, many of them f'r following
customs almost legitimatized by use, and not complying
literally with laws rendered almost; obsolete by non-use.
No big timber-grabber was convicted, made to disgorge or
even attacked. The Weycrliae.iisers and others still hold
theirvast forest domain. Some of their agents have suf
fered but not the principals.
The secret service, has spent the government's money
lavishly in limiting evidence against those tlin president
disliked. Jt has wasted its time in running down petty
grafts when big ones wore allowed to proceed unchecked.
Forty millionw is spent tor the I'anania canal how is a
state secret. National scandals come and go, but the secret
service is wasting its energies on litt le things that really do
not count. , . ImlASl
The secret service inquiry has made many additions to
the president's Ananias club, now grown to large dimens
ions. In this connection the president has accused the fol
lowing men of falsehood: Congressman .las. A. Towney of
Minnesota, Walter I. Smith of Iowa, S. Shirley of Ken
tucky, J. .). Fitzgerald, L. W. Husboy, Spcal.cr Cannon's
secretary, the house committee of appropriations, seven
teen members, and the whole house of representatives.
A few days ago the president flow into a rage over the
Panama canal ileal, and sent a special message to congress
censuring the New York World and threatening suit be
cause "tlie government had boon libeled." He also censured
the Indianapolis News and the New York Sun, and placed
their editors along with Editor Pulitzer in Hie Ananias
club.
What a remarkable exhibit for a president of the
United States to make of himself! Jt recalls the recent
remark made concerning his father made by Kermit
Roosevelt, the president's son: '
"Pa's all right, but there's. one trouble with him; when:
he's at a weddihig, he isn't content to bo merely the best
mau he wants to be the bride. And when pa s at a tuneral
ho isn't satisfied with being the chief mourner he wants
to 1)0 the corpse, too."
