THE WAN FOR THE PUCE.
If, as some claim, President
Roosevelt ia a platform in himself,
it in well tlint all people should
know what port of a man lie is.
Much has been written of him in
the last three years, but porhais
hie character and achievements
have never been summoucd up
more felicitously than in the
following:
"No other m m ever rose from
police commission to president of
the United States in less than live
years. No other so vigorously and
so successfully turned stumbling
blocks into stepping stones. Theo
dore Roosevelt entered politics as
a reformer as soon aa he had left
college, and made a reputation at
the very start for public spirit,
honesty, combativeness and un
shakeable physical and moral
courage. He made enemies at
every step, and even- enemy made
him 10 friends. The hoy as
semblymen forced a hostile legisla
ture to condemn its own political
allies. The young civil service
commissioner boldly challenged
the national leaders of his party
and compelled them to observe the
law. The police commissioner
trampled ruthlessly over all the
prejudices of a cosmopolitan com
munity, whether they represented
the vicious instincts of a criminal
fraction or the innocent desires of
the liberty loving majority. The
assistant secretary of the navy
thrust a rude hand into the coils
of red tape that swathed the de
partment and cleared the way for
the commanders that smashed the
fleets of Spain. The governor of
New York accepted the hostility of
the public service corporations by
Bigning the Ford franchise tax bill.
The president of the United States
challenged Wall street by forcing
a settlement of the anthracite
strike and ordering the dissolution
of the Northern Securities merger.
He sacrificed his popularity in the
south rather than 'shut the door of
hope' in the face of the negro. He
Becured the partial fulfilment of
our pledge of Cuban reciprocity.
He ended the half century period
of talk about the Panama canal,
and brought on a period of action.
He insisted on probing the frauds
of the postal service in the face of
the anger of his party leaders,"
This was not taken from a
standard biography; it was not
prepared as a campaign document;
it is not from a republican speech;
it is not the utterance of a person-
al friend. It is merely the est
,p , ; , 1
mate of Roosevelt as given by the
New York World, one of the lead
ing democratic journals of the
United States.
THE "STANDARD'S" CODE.
The stupendous hold which the
Standard Oil company has secured
upon the financial bulwarks of the
country, and which is partially
accounted for by that trust's
manipulation of the copper amal
gamation, a Standard Oil product,
is the basis upon which Thomas
W. Lawson has founded his story
of "Frenzied Finance," a serial
now running in Everybody's
magazine. The author shows
clearly how the members of the
company have become the great
est financial monarchs in the
history of the country, and the
ollowing is a code of epigram
matic rules which, while making
the Standard people the controll
ers of billions, might, in a sense,
1 applicable to other lineB of
business:
1. Keep your mouth closed, as
Bilence is golden, and gold is what
we exist for. j
2. Collect our debts today. I'uy
the other fellow's debts tomorrow.
Today is always here, tomorrow
may never come.
3. Conduct all our business so
that the buyer and the seller must 1
come to us. Keep the seller wait-!
ing; the longer he waits the less
he'll take. Hurry the buyer, as
J1.8 nioney brings us interest.
4. Make all the profitable bar
gains in the name of "Standard
Oil," debatable ones in the names

of dummies. "Standard Oil"
never goes hack on a bargain.
fl. Never put "Standard Oil"
trades in writing, as your memory
and the other fellow's forgctfulliess
will always lie re-enforced with
our organization. Never forget
our legal department is paid by
the war, and our land is full of
courts and judges.
li. As competition is the life of
trade, our trade, and monoply the
death of trade, our coinjietitors,
employ both judiciously.
7. Never enter into a ' butting"
contest w ith the government. Our
government is by the people, and
(or the people, and we are the
people, and those who are not us
can bo hired by us.
8. Always do right. Right
makes might, might makes dollars,
dollars makes right and we have!
the dollars.
A Missouri editor announced
that just for one issue he would
tell the truth. Here are a few
items from that issue.
