The Scholar In? If you want to read something very amusing and probably true about Roosevelt arid Tatt, and why Taft was not at’_ the pier to meet Roosevelt when he came back. just read UThe Parting of the Ways' by Alfred Henry Lewis in Human Life for May. It' s :ich-â€"- ‘ the best bit of historical caricature I have read in a look timer-The Nautilus. ‘ i By this time Taft has probably learned that he can't stenrthe tide of the will of the whole American people, and that only hope for anything besides obloquy is to get in line with the will of-tbe people and Roasev‘elt.‘ their positive pole ‘ That is the Big Stick ’which he holds .over the RefiubliCan‘ party- We and Eva Tangua'y don‘t care whether he wins or losesâ€"if he caii whip the administration” into working for the people so much the better so much the more ex- pcditious. All of Roosevelt‘s pdlicics Will come into their own now. What Roosevelt says will go.‘ Otherwise Rooseveit will be oUr next president, Pinchot may never come back into the government serviceâ€" :he is already organizing a conserva- tion movement which mav be able to do more than' Congress can- but the conservation poligics will be pushed vigorously. If Roosevelt can harmonize Taft and Congress and New York and thg Republican leaders to Work to- gether for the good of the people he will eventually endorse ”the admlnistration” afterla fashion. Ballinger will have to go over-1 board where he belongs. May the sea into which he drops never give up its dead. . He promises not to commit him- self publiclv for th months. Iii those two months his personality will do its work in occult wavs. _As soon as he neai‘ed New York Congress began to pass bills. Wireless wires began to hum. And Some of us who believe in him and think we understand him were quite sure he would use the materials at band to get the most good possible forthe 'American people as a whole. insurgents thought He would in- surge;_the administration hoped he would stand Dal Checlg's received for .ubscription are at once - the printed label within En’tered at the Post Office Highland * Nnrfly $11an N. punusnnn EVERY esamnmv AT suxscmrrxox. 31-50 A YEAR Wealth Is not'h.‘ |3ng {mt a tool, the value of which is in the skilled intelli- Roost-van do?
