A similar gravity has often been displayed by Mr. Roosevelt in giving the semblance of lifelong convictions to something that he has for the first time taken up. To read his letter on direct pri- maries, with special emphasis on a presidential primary, you would thirk that here’ is a cause for which he must have been fighting ever since he entered politics. He describes it as going to the very essence of popular government, and expends his yocabulary upon those recreants and reactionaries who are lukewarm or hostile to the doctrine. Yet Mr. Roosevelt himself, during the two years that he was governor of New York and the seven years that he was president of the United States, never lifted a finger or uttered a syl- able to eid those who were striving to effect this reform, |have corns! i | Cover them over with beautiful flowers, | Deck them with garlands, those brothers of ours; | Lying so silent by night and by day, Sleeping the years of their manhood away; Years they had marked for the joys of the brave, Years they must waste in the sloth of the grave, All the bright laurels they fought to make bloom, Fell to the earth whén they went to the tomb.
