A BIT OF HUMOR. For some fime the following item » has appeared in the newspapers of the land, first having been printed by|gates to the Republican national the San Francisco Argonaut: Recently a dinner was given to Oscar Straus in honor of his long career of public service. Naturally Theodore Roosevelt was present, and was one of the first called upon for a speech (says the New York Evening “Post”). With little preamble the ex-President launched into an appreciation of his ex-Cabi- net officer’s public record. “Be- lieve me, gentlemen,” he said, “when I called Mr. Strauss to my Cabinet I was considering no questions of religion or race or station. I was considering only his fitness for the office to which I had elected him. Neither as German nor as Jew was Mr. Strauss called to my Cabinet— but simply as the man most fit- ted for the position.” The next speaker was Jacob H. Schiff, who, as everybody knows, is a bit deaf and at times absent-mind- ed. After the proper greetings the financier began slowly, “My friends,” he said, “when Mr. Roosevelt, wrote and asked me whom I considered the best Jew for the position * + * » 'Msny a laugh had been provoked by the item but the Boston Post took the matter so seriously that it wrote to The Outlook-—Theodore Roosevelt, contributing editor—for information as to the accuracy of the Argonaut and in reply The Outlook describes it as wholly untrue gossip and quotes from the “American Hebrew,” which printed a complete account of the banquet involved. The Outlook says: “The facts are that Mr. Schiff said of Mr. Rooscvelt (reading from a manuseript which he held in his hands): ‘He not only preached theo- ries but he turned those into actual- ities and called one of ouf co-relig- ionists into the Cabinet of the Presi- dent of the United States, the high- est office within his gift. We- Jows owe him a debt of gratitude which I earnestly hope will never be forgot- ten.’ In reply to this introduction Mr. Roosevelt said that when he called Mr. Strauss to the Cabinet he did not consider-the -question of re- ligion or race; ‘he considered - only Mr. Strauss’s fitness -for the -office. | He did not appoint hini either as a JANUARY 20 &|him . substantially what is -stated| . >|above.
