One thinks about himself, the other thinks about the country, and the man responsible for the country’s welfare. We recommend to thoughtful readers the following short editorial from the New York American. § What man will say that, in this war, Theodore Roosevelt plays a patriotic part? - i In the last two presidential elections there were four outstanding candidates. One was Woodrow Wilson One was William " H. Taft. One was Theodore Roosevelt. One was Charles E. Hughes. What are these men now doing? | 5 - Woodrow Wilson is administering the affairs of state, efficiently, courageously, and with universal confidence. : " | William H. Taft is devoting all his time and strength and abilities to upholding the president and to helping win the war. ‘Charles E. Hughes is giving all ‘his time and abilities to supporting the president and to ‘helping the nation win its war. "And what is Theodore Roosevelt doing? Why, he is busy, by day and by night, snarling at the president, finding fault with - all the government does, belittling our war preparations, raging at everybody and at everything. \ _ The nation has been at war with Germany for more than a year, and in all that time not one single thing that Theodore Roosevelt has said or done has been a help to the government or to the nation’s prestige or to its war-making. ¢ : # - |+ - While the other men who recently contested for the presidency loyally give the full measure of devoted service to the coun- «try and ‘its: cause, all that Theodore Roosevelt does is to scold and snarl. - ' : - IT IS A PITIABLE SPECTACLE. - —THE WASHINGTON (D.
