P,y Scott C. Hone r Touring the country as a candidate for Vice President, Franklin D. Roosevelt is vainly endeavoring to invoke the pro gressive spirit of 1912 in support of Wilsonism and the election of the Democratic ticket in November. What would the real; Roosevelt Theodore Roosevelt the imracrtal T. R. say to his follower were he alive today! Gone, he left hurning words which tell all too plainly what his attitude would be at this time. r lle'abhorred Wilsonism, just as he abhorred Damelism, with both of which Franklin D. Roosevelt has been identified as an under secretary. ' Theodore Roosevelt condemned Wilsonism and the whole Wilson administration in unsparing terms. Read anew what he said at Cooper Union on November 3, 1916: . ' ' . "I hare been assailed because 1 have criticised Mr. " Wilson. I have not said one thing of him that was not ..absolutely accurate and truthful. ! ' 4I have not said one thing of him which 1 did net ' deem it necessary to say because of the vital interest of this republic. 'I have criticised him because I believe he has dragged in the dust what was most sacred in our past and has jeopardizedhe most vital hopes of our fu - ture. v , . "I criticise him now because he has adroitly and f cleverly and witlrsinister anility appealed to all that is ' weakest and most unworthy in the American charac ter; and also because he has adroitly and cleverly and - with sinister ability sought to mislead many men and women who are neither weak nor unworthy, but who have been misled by a shadow dance of words. "He has made our statesmanship a thing of empty elocution. ' "He has covered his fear of standing for the right behind a veil of rhetorical phrases. ., "He has wrapped the true heart of the nation in a spangled shroud, of rhetoric. "lie has kept the eyes of the people dazzled RO that they know not what is real and what is false. So that they turnbewildered, unable to discern the difference between the glitter that veneers evil and the stark real- ities of courage and honesty, of truth and strength. . "In the face of the world he has covered this na- - t t ion's face with shame as with a garment." " So much for Theodore Roosevelt's opinion of Wilson and Wilsonism in support of which Franklin D.

"Far from testing to giv a place in our collection to the pub lication you direct, whose impar tiality is so well displayed by your courteous letter. I shall, on the contrary. Instruct our agent to procure copies of your maga zine for us and shall subscribe io it recnlarly. "I shall also ask the minister of public instruction to i take measures so that your articles so luminously object vie may be come known to our compatriots and friends, especially the Belg ans. who nave had so many op-:K-rt unities to appreciate the gen tle methods of the German army and the scrupulous loyalty of the German people. ' I can assure you. sir. that the 3entimcnt. love of truth and Jus lice, whit-h uiy collaborators and myself sTiare with the minister, will always endeavor to be no less Inferior in quality to either your own or that of the publishers of iVlereck's American Monthly."

'' "Jlore harm has been done to the navy by the poli ticians in power during the last three years than in the preceding thirty. Whatever good has been accom--plished in the navy during the last three years has been done by naval officers who, in most cases, have been snubbed and punished for their proposals as long as it was safe to do so; whereas Sir. Daniels now turns and claims credit for what was thus forced upon him, . "In short, throughout President Wilson's term there has been neglect or positive mal-administration in connection with departmental organization in navy ' yards,, aeronautics, mines and torpedoes, and in all other matters affeeting the efficiency of the fleet and the enthusiasm of its officers and men. . . . The activity and energy of the Navy Department under President Wilson have been primarily concentrated upon schemes aimed. at votegetting or advertising."

Block had requested a com plimentary copy ot the Viereck ( Monthly for the war museum of the French republic. "Mr. Vie- reck's reply was such as might be expected from him. It bristled with abuse ot France and vindi cation of Prussian barbarism, dur ing the war. He roared about France's In iquitous extortion of loot from the German people. He dished up wild stories about "French negroes" who "defiled the streets where Goethe walked." He declared France had achiev ed a treacherous victory "in the Trojan horse of Wood row Wil son's 14 points." He warned France of German wrath to come, and added: "The American people will never again permit themselves to be betrayed into a war not of their own choo3 ing."
