TEDDY WANTS WAR AND NOTORIETY.
Theodore Roosevelt is again in the spotlight. According
to our telegraphic report yesterday he made an address at a
State Militia encampment in which he excoriated President
Wilson and he is neutrality'policy, by the use of language that
was neither fitting or becoming a man of his intellect and posi
tion when directed against the chief executive of the United ,
States. Toddy has been peeved ever since the European war
broke out because the United States did not interfere and take a
whack at Germany. He wants us to resent the attacks made
upon vessels on which American lives were lost, but his princi
pal object in belching forth at this critical time is to gain a
little cheap notoriety. Similar tactics were adopted by this
four-flusher some time ago, but his rantings met with very
little encouragement by the corfsevative and patriotic people of
the United States.
Failing in this Teddy started on a tour to the Pacific coast
to confer with the remnants of the Bull Moose party. He ad
vised his followers to hold together, but did not confide in them
what for.
Until he makes another contract with the Democratic
chiefs to elect for them another president year! or until he
can make a dicker with the Republicans to be their leader next
year? He should have added to his advice to hold together the
words, “until I can make arrangements to minister to my own
desires, fro then I shall need all the dupes that I can gather
under my standard.” i <
He declares that lie is a most peaceable and domestic man
but in the event of a war he and his four sons would enlist.
We believe that, for we believe that he and his sons possess
physical courage. But they would all have to go as officers.
In that respect he is not a bit above the mongrel chiefs, that
have been raising hades in Mexico for three years past. Teddy
is rather a winsome fraud.
• ' SENTIMENT AND EDITORS.
Last week we looked in a neighboring newspaper, expect
ing to see an account of how a young man had gone wrong.
Not a line about the young man could be found. A broken
hearted wife or relative had gone to the editor and asked him
to say nothing, and the tears had won the promise from him.
We have gone through the same thing ourselves many times.
An editor is humane; he has his likes and dislikes, he loves and
he lmtes; his strength between love and duty is just like that of
an average citizen. We remember one case in particular. We
had let a certain case go by because a tearful mother bowed
down with grief had come to us and begged the favor. A big
headed man jumped on us about it, and called us a coward for
so doing. A short time afterward the shadow fell across his
threshold and he came running and begging its to say nothing.
“Yes,” we replied, “but don’t you remember the time you
called me a coward for keeping still?” “I know” he replied,
“but I was wrong; it is different now,” And we listened to
him, hut there are things an editor cannot suppress. There
are other things that he can forget with propriety. As far as
we are concerned, we would rather lessen the grief of a parent
than throw out a inoisel for gossiping people to feed upon.
We would rather wipe the tears from the eyes of a mother than
have “nerve” enough to join the heartless crowd of flying!
tongues and sink the iron deeper into her tender soul. So when
in this neighboring paper we failed to find what we wanted, we
made no comment. But deep down in our hearts we admired |
that editor and thought more of him, because he had a heart j
that was tender and would rather listen to the jibes of an un-i
feeling public than to the sobs of a broken-hearted mother, wife
and sister.
The above is from a country paper in Oregon and it tells ex
actly as it is known to every country newspaper man who is
konwn by all his patrons. It is different with the editor of the
big city paper who is practically unknown to nine-tenths of his
readers. He is seldom appealed to concerning the suppression
of news matter that might reflect on a patron. But with the
small paper it is different. Its editor is asked almost weekly to
“say nothing about” such and such a matter and unless he
heeds the appeal, he is hardhearted and brutal. Even those
who never spend a cent with a paper, will expect to be favored
every time they “slip a cog.” So far as we are concerned, we
get beastly tired of this “favoring-by-suppression” business,
but we continue to do it—probably for the reason .that we still
have a heart.

If a soap-box orator gave expression to the same fire-brand
sentiments as one Theodore Roosevelt expressed publicly be
fore militiarmen lie would either suppression or “canned.”
Why differentiate between fanatics, especially in favor of the
most dangerous one.

At that this war has yielded nothing superior in determina
tion, daring and ingenuity, to Grant’s encompassing of Vicks
burg. That 1860-65 affair grows all the greater to the present
generation by comparison with the tremendous conflict in
Europe.
