"High Individual character ia th

These, I say, ar tbe moralities of th
copybook and tha primer. You may
pick them up In quantities in th nearest
kindergarten supply shop. And yet they
ar gravely Introduced. as admonitions
to th American people from It execu
tive. : - , T
'He I an extraordinary creature
Roosevelt," remarked Henry James of
him a year ago, "always preaching
platitudes. - An extraordinary creature."
....... TaalBa' aa Bemedy. . -:
There la, however, one thing in tbe
president's speech to which I have not
called attention. It ia the one thing in
IV that doea possess significance, fur It
shows him to be shrewd enough to make
hay even out of the harvest of the
muck rake. He is speaking of ths
menace of th vaat fortunes of the day.
and after startling ua with th informa
tion that w ahould discriminate be
tween fortune that la mad bonaatly.
In pursuance of th publlo interest, and
fortunes that are made criminally, for
the aak of selfish aggrandisement, ha
goes on to point out how tb evil for
tune, may be abated. They must be
taxed, lie says; the tax must be a pro
gressiva one, and it must be applied to
fortunes over a certain amount ao aa
to render Impossible th piling up of
too many mllllona. And this tax "Quit.
of course, be a national government tax
-not s state government tax." 1
He add that th national government
must suppress all corporations doing in-
teratat business.1. Rate legislation, he
remarka, is Jnst now t th for and will
no doubt b settled right, but it ahould
be regarded aa but a first step toward
control by the national government over
corporate wealth and for tho abatement
of th crying vlla of overcapitalisation.
The observation of Prealdent Roose
velt on the government control of trusia
la a singular reflection on previous
statements by corporation lawyera who
eagerly- favor" control ; of .the Interstate
corporations-by th 'national govern
ment- Th reason for this. Is obvious.
It mean th centralisation of trust con
trol and, iaoldentally, tb easier and
more certain corruption of that control.
Instead of combating or defeating th
laws or one or a dosen states, tba-trust
managera would merely have to circumvent-
tho central governments .' Tula
would bo infinitely more sure, more
satisfactory, and also less expensive.
By all means, cry th truat mana
gers, let the national government con
trol corporations .-..-: . ,m . ,
' Kls OsBtrallaatlon Soaeme.
Tea. that statement would, have sig
nificance, even If the rest of the world
shared Mr. Roosevelt s available im
pression that he ia not going to run' for
a third term. . It pointa to th goal that
all hi official acta that hav been in
telligent . and intelligible have pointed
at lnc he first cam to th Whit
House centralisation of political power.
Tbe progressive tax on fortunes" and
supervision of corporations la th later
guise aaaumad by the big stlok. And
In view of that fact, it will be wis for
us to remember that there can be on
thing worse than excessive - fortune
and corporate -greed, and that Is cen
tralisation of power in a republic. That
ha marked th beginning of th ' end
of all' republics that hiatory tells u
of; and' If Roosevelt has hla way It
will mark th beginning of the end of
ours. - That warning. If no ' other, w
may gain from the speech about th
man with th muck rake; and let ua
keep our eye on that, and not be be
guiled by th copy-books.. -v ' -
Words are good when backed no by
deeda, and only so," is on of oar presi
dent's best known apothegms; - but it
would ' better read ' "Word are good
when uaed to distract attention ' from
deeda that contradict the word, and
only so." Such, at least, has been their
function in most of Mr. Roosevelt's
derhrerle; but th stench -of the deed
will soon prov too potent for th frag
rance of th worda; and th people will
distinguish their friends from their enemies
