The Ingrate
There Is mi man mure despicable
than the ingrate.. The breaker of
faith who, through dishonesty, sellish
new nr hir weakness, betrays hi,
pledged word and a sarred friendship
ileserves tin eonteinpt of , honorable
men. Hut. when tin; ingratitude, is
inure than personal and involves the
lietrayal of a sreat cause, the offense
is infinitely worse.
Then has been in this country sileh
a display of ingratitude by one man
to another. Who the Inarate is the
indisputable rei orils of the last four
years proi hiim.
Tlieodoreltoosevelt, frooi the time
when he, as a subordinate In the navy

deemed lacking in himself. And Mr.
FRIDAY &
SATURDAY
Roosevelt thenceforward became Mr.
Taft'8 political creator.
'President Hoosevelt made his pood
friend a member of his cabinet, and
found in him a sympathetic and effi
cient taker of orders. And, erroneous
ly believing that his coworker would
give orders as elhVicntly, Mr. Roose
velt chose Mr. Taft as the best man
he could recommend to the nation to
continue and perfect the policies to
which Mr. Roosevelt's whole heart and
mind wi re and are devoted, the poli
cies in the making of which Mr. Roos
evelt generously ascribed to Mr. Tafl a
share.
The same inllueiieeM unu ardently
championing .Mr. Tali liieii assailed
him and supported Cannon, Knox.
KairhiMiA.x or I'oioker. '1'li.ev made
the task of nominating Air. Tafl a
dillicult one. 'I hey feared what Mr.
Taft's honest supporters firmly, be
lieved that he had absorbed Roose
veltisin and become a true progres
sive. Tlie west was reluctant, but con
sented to accept the Roosevelt in
dorsement, and, by blocking the Cor-teiyoii-Hitchcock
schemes, 41 r. Roose
velt accomplished his desire, to give
to his trusted friend the nomination
that would have been his own could
he have been persuaded to swerve
from his pledged determination not to
succeed himself. 1
Ten days utter Mr. Taft was nomi
nated, and nt a time when the people
were showing little enthusiasm over
his candidacy, he published in Col
lier's u full-page article, which was
given great publicity throughout the
oiinlry. ".My Conception of the
l'rc:-iilciiey," Colic.'s. June 27. l!l(S.)
lie said: "It remained for Roosevcit
lo prove how the people will respond
to a strong and true leadership when
the hour has come for great reforms.
The policies which he Inaugurated
mu;--( be continued and developed.
Tli y arc right and they are the poli
cies W he people. For that reason
his successor may well disregard any
charge of lack of originality If he does
not make an entirely new program of
liis own.
"A president at this time has his
work clearly defined. ... -t The
conservation of our natural resources
and their development for the use of
all, along lines of eijual opportunity,
too, must command Immediate atlen
tion. It should be his aim to give
high tone to his administration as Mr.
Roosevelt has by surrounding himself
with men of earnest, Enthusiastic in
terest In the public weal and of the
cleanest and most effective methods."
The history of how .Mr. Taft proved
a hopelessly poor campaigner and how
Mr. Roosevelt came forward and elect
ed him by pledging his word to the
i American people that Mr, Taft would
be the loyal perlecter of the Roosevelt
policies needs no detailed retelling.
It was so clear that the vote was
for and against a legatee that Mr.
Taft's enemb s -so soon to be his
chosi n, intimate advisers' assailed
him us a "dummy" au4 a "proxy."

PALAIS .ROYAL

South Main St.
Anait vrftSfthen that" Mr, Roosevelt
determined to bllterat himself abso
lutely for a year or more, io avoid
any possible embarrassment or belit
tling of the friend he trusted and ad
mired, i
Mr. Taft was elected without being
bound by a Blngle pledge, save those
he hud made voluntarily to the peo
ple, highest of which was to maintain
and perfect the Roosevelt policies.
Mr. Roosevelt made no demand to
retain any personal hold through uny
representative. No bargain, no dicker,
was made about the party organiza
tion. All was turned over to Mr. Taft
unmortgaged. One recpiest was made.
Mr. Roosevelt thought the question of
conservation so important and knew
so well the competence of Secretary
Oartleld that he requested hia reten
tion. That request was refused.
AVhat followed during and after Mr..
Roosevelt's fifteen months' absence
from the country? Klrst, by the se
lection of his cabinet, the character of
the Taft administration was only too
plainly foreshadowed by his appoint
ment of men generally known to rep
resent the very forces which the peo
ple bad elected Mr. Taft to combat.
The breach of pledges to support
the Roosevelt policies, which alone
had made his election possible,
promptly followed. The real exem
plars of the progressive policies were
stricken down, one by one, and In
their places men of reactionary views
were Installed.
A shameless alliance was made with
Alilrii h and Cannon, to tlie utter ex
clusion of the men who remained
faithful lo the policies which consti
tuted the platform upon which Mr.
Taft had been elected. A party divis
ion in congress soon developed. The
progressives, both In the house and
the senate, refused to be driven ot'i
bribed by patronage Into deserting the,
progressive doctrine which had duvel-
ped. so greatly under Roosevelt.
The "men of earnest, enthusiastic '
interest In the public weal" chosen byj
Mr. Tatt to guide his conduct were
Aldrlch, Crane, Cannon, Kean; Ilani-j
mnnil, the 'Uiggetiheim hired man;
l'enrose, Knox, Tawney, liallinger and
Wickorshum all representatives of,
special Interests and Including 1he
leaders In all the bitter lighting against
Mr. Roosevelt In the campaigns for
railroad regulation, pure food, conser-'
vat ion and water-power control. !
Proposed legislation, palpably drawn
to favor railroads and destroy the
Roosevelt policy of regulation, was
prepared at the White House and sent
to congress, with the president's com-!
niand that It must tie passed without '
the cliaugo tit a word or a comma.!
So brazen was this betrayal of party,
pledges that the best momborsj of the
republican party In both branches of
congress openly raised the banner nf
revolt against the Taft leadership. i
The abandonment of the policy did
not cease after the progressive repub
licans had made a good law out of n
bad bill. For the commerce court was .
packed with railroad judges, Who have i
continuously endeavored to destroy I
the powers and usefulness of the in-:
terstate commerce commission.
The sickening story of the betrayal ,
f the conservation policies and the
substitution of Hallingcrism. with the!
deplorable truths of the document an
tedated by the attorney general by
order of the president, and his signa
ture, as his own decision of a judg
ment drawn up by an accused H.illin-
ger lieutenant, and the entire revela
tion of the administration's attempt
to transfer tlie Alaskan public wealth
to this Morgan-Guggenheim syndicate.
presents a complete perpetration of
treachei t
The pure food law emasculated.
Doctor Wiley forced out of the public
service and all standards lowered at
the behest of the milkers of poisoned
f Is and liquors. Is the exhibition of
loyalty toonu of the best and most
cherished of the Roosevelt policies. '

All honorable men agree that an in
grate Is despicable. An on nil sides
from the Tory press come talks of
Theodore Roosevelt's "lictrftyal i:f a
friend" and "ingratitude to Tuft." We
deny that any man who studies, with
an open mind, the history of the past
four years, can honestly assert that It
Is Theodore Roosevelt and not the man
Roosevelt niado president who Is the
ingrate.
If the desertion of Theodore Roose
velt by a trusted friend, hud been
merely ,i personal blow, he would
gricvr, but hold no resentment. For no
more malignant misrepresentation ex
ists than that he has no tolerance for
opposition. No word of bitterness
cornea from him, for example, in pub
lic and private when tha desertion by.
former close friends and coworkers
such as Lodge and ltoot is mention
ed. Me limply says that he Is sorrv
they no longer think as he does, but
that they belong by right on "the oth
er side."
Ijltterness rises only when the truth
is homo in that the friend he trusted
most has dishonored Theodore Roose
velt's indorsement to the American
people and betrayed the. policies of
progress which to Roo.sevelt and (ill
loyal to those, policies are Immeasur-,
ably more Important than hint or
