WHY HE CAN DO IX
Mudv marvel at President Roosevnit -
ability to get out of a hole. Time afti ?'
time he has committed blunders i
made unholy alliances which for the
time seemed to have c'lppe I 1 ? n.
to such an extent a* to preclude the
possibility of his ever soariug fguiti
But he has retracted, severed the sll
acce or otherwise made am -ids, ;?
come from the shadow of the c'oud
with reputation and influence un
scathed.
How does he do it? That is a ques
tion that has puzzled wise men for a
decade.
There are two answers In the lirst,
place, he is foolish who fails to recog
nise (the president's political re 'v vi
nes?. Mr. Roosevelt is wil ins to be
shown. He has been sure that i:o -.v.,

of the vitality of the o'd bear iini
famous aphorism, only to .> lit I
and to go as madly in an emit'' > -l.f

are discerned ahead the pr-. si : iu -
good sense tells him it is time ;

the one who plays the game so .
ly that they are not sure i * ii \
doing. They find it safer to ..ec :
President Roosevelt for t
while they fight against th ? ? ik
