OUR INCONSISTENT PRESIDENT) Once more we are compelled to write about President Roosevelt, when our ingenuity is clamoring for some less harped upon topic, but Mr. Roosevelt will intrude with such violence into the public thought that he cannot be passed over, and must be given bis turn with the other sensation generating sources. He demands quick, immediate and continuous atten tion during his active periods His latest employes that they must take no part in politics; that, if they ebullition is an order informing government resign to seek office or to campaign, they cannot hope to be! restored to their old positions, and if they dabble in the game of votes they must expect to lose their jobs As to the intrinsic merits of this order, we have nothing to say, and only passing comment for the tireless endeavor that can and troublesome government and conduct a political campaign at promulgate these instructions, run a rather large one and the same time. As an exhibition of executive legerde main, we have no fear of successful imitation. But we do marvel, too, at the consistency} of our honored president, subordinates in the public service, and his personal whirling | dervish activity in behalf of his former secretary of war. And, if memory fails not, it was this same secretary, while still | enjoying the emoluments, perquisities and honors of his| office, who deftly flitted about the country, making timely} and appropriate speeches by the wayside, all tactfully tending! to further his personal ambitions for the office he now openly seeks. And yet no harsh chiding sound came forth from the white house, or even from Oyster bay. Rather, it was de-lighted approval of the sentiments, rhetoric and policy of Mr. Taft Now, may the inquisitive one inquire why? clear line of demarcation drawn between office holders who) may and may not participate in political strife? What is the! base for this differentiation? or shall we say discrimination? And what is the logic of it? | If a mail carrier, who gets $90 a month, and sorely needs | it, has a friend running for poundmaster, may he not express | his approval of his friend's ambition? If not, is it because he only draws wages, instead of salary, or is it because he really works for his money? * This distinction cannot be because the mail carrier’s duties ate so exacting that he cannot give any time to politics at the} expense of the people, because the offices of president and! secretary of war, we are lead to believe are of much more | importance, and require a corresponding excess of ability and | devotion to business. The more we ponder over this question, the more intricate! and befuddling the maze becomes, while the conviction begins | to glimmer that the president has created a political aristocracy among officeholders, with arbitrary restrictions, that corres- ponds broadly to the feudal regulations of the olden times. His “thou shalt not” has a Mosaic directness and blunt ness that leaves no doubt as to the identity of the man on the job, and an equal absence of doubt as to his ability and will- ingness to make jobless any government employe who dis- obeys him. It all, bowever, savors of Theodoric despotism, that goes ill with the example that is set by the president himself. There is a general demand nowadays for practice to align fairly well with preachment, and ii Mr. Roosevelt wili not allow any of his fellow laborers for the country to express their political comvictions as they desire, he should be the first to set the example,,and discontinue the letter writing bureau he is now | conducting at the white house. rather joyously, in his flatfooted warning to his} Where is the Over 3,000 men were killed in the coal mines of the United | States last year and yet it is war that is said to be hell | Under the tangled mass of verbiage and the epistolary debris, } may be faintly heard the wee small voice of Willie Hearst plaintive. | ly asserting “! started it.” } | ‘The account of the death in Bellingham of the oldest Mason in the United States demonstrates that by sticking to one tine of en deavor fame is certain.
