Roosevelt
B
AINBRIDGE Colby,
came
secretary of state
undertaken to review the
' Theodore Roosevelt by Owen
Roosevelt partisan, devotes a
book to berating Wilson, much
. idoL Mr. Colby, who Dominated Roosevelt at the 1916 con
vention, and subsequently became a member of the Wilson
cabinet and still later a law partner of Wilson, shows in his
article in the August "Current History, a distinct loyalty
to his last attachment. Withal, however, Colby does analyze
with considerable accuracy the story of the Roosevelt-Wilson
animosity, or more particularly the Roosevelt animosity
toward Wilson, for Wilson seldom or never revealed per
sonal antagonism towards his great antagonist.
Even to his ardent admirers Roosevelt was riven to
gross exaggeration. His controversial speech and writings
were marked by what might
trenje hyperbole; and more bluntly might be characterized
as downright falsity. Roosevelt would probably insist that
his intemperate utterances were literally true, but that was
because he was' an ardent egoist and unconscious of any
wrong-dome: within himself.
Thus Roosevelt described his political foes who had,
we believe, improperly seized control of the 1912 republican
luuvcmiuu as trwRB, uuigiais aim bwohu-swi men.
Again in 1916 he wrote:
"It is Wilson, toot Bryan,
, gogue. adroit, tricky, false, without one spark at loMaess la aim,
without a touch of the herioc in hia cold selfish and timid soul."
I Now such irrational outcries reflect only on the one
who makes them. They are samples of the lacerating acer
bity of Roosevelt in his post-presidential days. Colby seeks
to account for his vocal violence by his consuming ambition
to become president again. He says:
"It would be bard to find la aay American career a period of
four years taken up-with visions of tke presidency and efforts to
attaia ft, than the years from 1912 to 1916 in the life of Theodore
Roosevelt. Four times in as many years he was a candidate for the
presidential nomination la a national party coaveatkra, and twice
the recipient of a formal nomination. He proposed to be president.
It it were humanly possible-. Of that there Is little room for doubt,
and his, bitter sens of bafflement and frustration found vent in the
railing diatribes which he directed at Woodrow 'Wilson."
Roosevelt was eager to become president again, and
perhaps his blind striking at Wilson is accounted for by
this ambition.' We rather think however that Roosevelt was
eager to be president because the stage from 1916 to 1918
was' a-RooseveJtian stage. War engulfed the world, and
Roosevelt was a fighter. He was like the warhorse, smell
ing the battle afar off. He longed to be in a place of power
and mastery where he could drive and command. It was
his misfortune to be born to power too soon.
Roosevelt suffered also from jealousy. He had the con-'
viction that no one could carry forward the presidency soj
well as he. Poor Taft failed, partly through Roosevelt's j
desertion, party through his own poor judgment of men;
and measures. Wilson, the spare Cassius4ike scholar-politician,
was some grim ogre to Roosevelt who flayed him and
berated him with reckless abandon.
Loyal Rooseveltians must admit that their leader pass
ed into eclipse after his triumphal return in 1910. The halo
clung to him; but his mtemperence in utterance and his
virulent abuse of others in public life clouded his fame.
The Wister book will reappear no doubt after certain
corrections have been made. Its publishers were threatened
with libel because of one incident described which related
to the social ambitions of a prominent society woman of
Charleston, S. d, so they withdrew the book until new
plates could be prepared. Roosevelt's great piace in American
history is assured, though his heroic stature seems to shrink
some with the passing of time. The Wister book must be
read, however, with regard for the element of discount on
the writing of one who was frankly a hero-worshipper.

His first glance at Mrs. Everett
showed him that, even ia jail,
awaiting trial for murder, she had
not forgotten the example of the
Englishmen in the jungle. Ever
ett had evidently been sent back
ta the house tor a suitcase im
mediately upon his release, for
Alias's cress of cunningly pleat
ed leaf-green silk was fresh and
tmm&culgte. The broken amber
holder had been replaced by an
equally long green one. She flipp
ed open an enameled cigarette
ease and passed it to Peter, as It
she Tere hostess to a morning
aller instead ef being a prison-
er.
"Yu are going to arrange for
a lawyer, I think my husband
said!" she began in a tone of
formal poUteness, oddly at vari
ance with her words, Peter notic
ed that the hand holding the
arette case trembleo1 slightly, but
her eyes were steady.
Peter glanced at the mono
grfcmmed cigarette whleh he had
abeeat-miatdedhr taken from the
case, laid It down on the sher
iffs desk, aad reached tor hi
pipe.
1 am. he said. "Aad I have
a tew suggestions to make to him
wSh your approval. I went out
te the lodge this mernlna; and I
teund a revolver in the table
drawer.'
Mrs. Everett nodded.
"Yee," she said. "I know."
Good! I thought you did. Now
tf yoa can teatify that you aad
Mr. Mortison had sa ahercattea,
and that you aaw him open the
dwer and reach for his revolv
er thai, the drawer was epen
when yea tired-" He paused
Aline released a series of this
gray smoke rings into the air.
She pursed her lips aad expelled
the smoke with the air of an ex
pert, but the rings wavered and'
broke, half-termed. She watched
them far a moment and then, as
if aware of their subtle betrayal
of her nervousness, laid the cig
arette holder on the table with
a sharp click.
"There wasn't aay altercation.
There were ao word spoken at
all. As far the drawer I don't re
member whether It was open or
hat." she said at last-
But you're got to remember.
Peter insisted. "Look here, you:
Said that your first shot went
wide. I've checked on that, and
it the bullet really came from
your pistol. It's the truth. At any
rate, somebody did fire frees the
front of the room through the
back wincVw. What did Mertwoa
do then?"
Mrs. Everett considered lor a
moment Then her eyes lifted to
Peter's with faint surprise.
"Why, be didat do anything."
"How de yen mean -he dldat
do anything?" Peter prodded.
"Just that Be didn't de any
thing at all. Aad It has just tbta
minute occur ice' to mo that that'
rather queer."
But Peter, Intent on his' own
line of thought, had hardly beard
her.
"Of course if you did fir both
these shots, you'd bar to gay
that he reached tor the gun be
fore the first one. Otherwise, the
self-defense woud be all hi. But
if the shot through the window
was fired by aemeon pise,- aad
startled him Into reaching for his
ra ,
T did fire both shots. I've al
ready teld yop that,"
fit isn't what yea told me, it's
what you're going to tell the Jury
that counts," Peter reminded her
harshly. -.. . - ...
rWeU. that's -what I am going
tottell the Jury." Alias's gleam
ing, pelated fingers picked up the
cigarette holder, toyed with It for
h moment, and carried it to her
Una. It was a gesture ot ehal
leage, as if the translucent green
tube bad been a trumpet et bat
J4a -4 .-' ...
'"Dauntless the slug horn to
hfs lips he set, and blew,"' Peter
quoted softly, a whimsical smile
of understanding widening his
sensitive Hps.
"Exactly so," Aline' eyes met
his with a brief ansjrering 'amUe.
"Mr. Piper, you gaTe me the
credit of having brains and warn
ed me that I'd need them. The
most dangerous thing in this sit
uation for me is not that I'm go
ing to be, triej? tor murder. It's
that I'm going to tell a lie, and
stick to It. A lie is a desperately
dangerous thing. It will he the
thing to convict me, If the prose
cution discovers that It's a lie,
and makes the Jury see it too."
"With that lie against me, no
one will believe anything else I
ay no one except Max. But If
I deny the real motive that took
dg-Jne to MerOsoa's lodge that day,
Max will believe me. I owe him
that He, and I'll stick to it, even
if Her voice faltered through
trembling lips. The gay cigarette
holder rattled against the aide of
the ash tray as she flipped off a
length of ash and pressed a fresh
cigarette against the glowing
stub.
"But if we could show that the
drawer was open," Peter persist-
)CaL
"If I remembered, I'd tell you;
but I honestly don't. And dont
you see, the only safe thing for
me to do. with that one lie, is to
cling to the strict truth ia every
thing else. It's going to be hard
enough as it is. I dea't dare add
to the complications. Aad that's
what lies are complications. It
you doa't look out, one toads to
another, and you get all tangled
up In them. That would be nice
for the prosecution but not so
nice for me." Again her j-e were
llftec' to Peter's with a smile, the;
smile of one who f desperately
frightened and yet faces fear
with courage.
"I dont know but you're
right, at that," Peter admitted.
He did not envy the lawyer his
client. She would not submit do
dlely to coachiagr-yet there was
seas in what she had said.
"Then you dont know any
thing at all about aay shots other
than your own?" he asked, watch
lag her keenly ander cover ef
fumbling tn his pocket for his
sack of tobacco.
'I doa't know anything at an
about any other shots.
But tor the second time Peter
scarcely heard her. HU flagere,
reaching for the tobacco, had en
countered the edge ef the broken
Chinese box.

He pulled out the box and thrust

emptorily. "Tee. That Is was It behind

Mrs. Everett leaned forward,
and snatched the box from Pet

burned down to the edge of the
holder but she did mot notice tt.
Peter nodded.

the night, had fallen about five

-This. Urge building is 228

as a single house, because the

means of bread hoards set on

-The apartments are separated
from each other by a passage or
alley four feet wide, extending
through the whole depth of the
house, aad the only entrance to

hole about 22 inches wide, and
not more than three feet high.

"In this manner the root is

the extra charges, as common
carriers, to which farmers har
vesting flax and hauling It .for
themselves and their neighbors
have been subjected, under our
automobile license law. If a
farmer has a truck or a trailer,
or both, and wishes te aid his
neighbor grower tn getting his
crop to market, he must take out
an extra lice nee as a common
carrier. He may never be a com
mon carrier for aay other pur

aad it must be obeyed.

Our license law is .pretty good,
new. It needs correction in only
a few place. The case of tarn-'

carrier charges is one. The mat- ;
ter of quarterly license fee is '
aaother. The state would get
