I Wliy It Was Printed . last week containing an attack on Colonel Roosevelt. = These 30,000 subscribers may have wondered why we published such an article after the colonel was dead. Therefore we explain as follows: The Leader containing the article was on the press S OME 30,060'of our over 200,000 subscribers received a Leader L\ when word of Roosevelt’s death was received. It had been written two weeks before his death, when he was in perfectly good health and able to withstand a “comeback” from the Leader on his many ° attacks on the organized farmers. , ; But when news was received that the colonel had answered the final rollcall we-all sooner or later must answer, we stopped the presses and inserted other matter in place of the Roosevelt article. Only about 30,000 of our subscribers received Leaders containing the original article. : - 3 : No matter what attacks Theodore Roosevelt may have made on the organized.farmers, their leaders and program during his life, or how unfair friends of the League may have considered those -attacks, the colonel is now dead, and neither the Leader nor friends of the League desire to pursue him further on account of his mis- taken stand on the farmers’ movement. We all Tespect death, the great leveler, and while the colonel may have merited what we said about him in his lifetime, we certainly have no desire to add unnecessarily to the pain his friends must feel at this time. Theodore Roosevelt, whatever his opponents may have thought of the ideas and policies he promoted during the latter part of his life, was a man who had the courage of his convictions. He was » a fighter and worthy of the steel of his enemies. As a patriot, author and statesman he had a world-wide reputation, and will go down in history as one of the greatest Americans of his time. His original leadership of the progressive wing of the Republican party did much to promote in America the ideal of social justice, and there can be no doubt that the impetus given liberal measures by the Progressive party is still helping to carry forward the great cause of-democracy and justice. : - However much in his later life the colonel may have fallen away from the old progressive ideas he promoted, he must be given credit for what he did do when he was fighting for “social justice,” the slogan of the Progressive party. Men become more conserva- tive as they grow old, especially men who have tasted political power. Roosevelt was no exception. - The future historian will decide what praise or blame the colonel merited in his public life. Today friend and foe regret his _untimely and unexpected death. All will feel a-deep sympathy for his family. - Likes the Leader ST. JOSEPH LIFE UNDERWRITERS ASSOCIATION H. Everett Farnham, President L. O. Weakley, Jr., Sec’y. Geo. A. Mchrmack. Vic‘g'-Pres. H. B.

' BRITISH LABOR PARTY GAINS TAPPLYING HIS OWN i.OGIC In the Iast election direct Labor rep- resentation in the British parliament was more than doubled. “Ouf; of a total of 707, 65 were secured by the British Labor party in the face.of specially vicious opposition. There are 10 other successful candidates known as being “Coalition Labor,” which means labor pledged to thc Lloyd George regime. The bid for independence :from old party politics which British labor ‘made has borne good fruit. .The great - mass of farmers and workers in the United- States, on the other hand, - have: scarcely -a dozen men in the . senate and ‘house of representatives who will stand up for their interests on fundamental matters, and six of: . these ‘were sent. there by ‘the”Non-. \partisan league. ~e o0 n ARE YOU SATISFIED?
