Gospel of the Square Deal
The genwal spirit of the administra

that the work of public spirited men

This summary shows why the ven
erable Senator Cullom of Illinois
wrote out of the fullness of experience
In his book on Fifty Years of Public
Service Mr Roosevelt accomplish
ed more- in his term than any of his
predecessors more laws were enact-
ed laws of more general benefit to
the people But above all his admin-
istration enforced all laws on the
statute books as they had never beenj
enforced before Colonel
Roosevelt has proven over and over
again In every position he has ever
occupied from police commissioner of
New York to the presidency itself
that he is a marvelous man a man off
great resources great Intellect great
energy and courage and a man of thei
highest degree of integrity He will
go down in the history of this coun
try a the most remarkable man of
his day Kansas City Star
ROCKEFELLER FOR TAFT
Standard Oil Magnates Interview II-
lumines Presidents Claim
to be a Progressive
In a recent speech at Philadelphia
President Taft declared himself to bel
a Progressive Colonel Roosevelt in
commenting upon that speech has
pointed out that there are no better
judges of what is a real Progressive
than the men who are now supporting1
Mr Taft for renomination
Four years ago said Colonel
Roosevelt the Progressives support i
ed Mr Taft for President and he was
opposed by such representatives of--special
privileges as Mr Penrose of
Pennsylvania Mr Aldrich of Rhode--Island
and Mr Gallinger of New
Hampshire as Messrs Lorimer Can-
non and McKinley of Illinois and he
was opposed by practically all the
men of the stamp of Messrs Guggen
heim and Evans of Colorado and
Mr Patrick Calhoun of San Fran
cisco These men were not
sives then and they do not pretend to
be Progressives now But unlike the
President they know who is a Pro
gressive and who is not Their judg
ment in the matter is good After
three and a half years of association
with and knowledge of the President
these and their fellows are now the
Presidents chief supporters and they
and the men who feel and act as they
do in business and in politics give
him the great bulk of his strength
The President says he is a Progres
sive These men know him well and
have studied his actions for three
years and they regard him as being
precisely the kind of Progressive
whom they approve
This gives special point to an inter
view given by John D Rockefeller at
his offices at 2C Broadway New York
on October SO 190S just a few days
before the election at which Mr Taft
was chosen to the Presidency
Mr Rockefeller declared that he in
tended to support Mr Taft because
as he said I find the balance of fit
ness and temperament entirely on his
side The election of Mr Taft will
I believe make for law and order and
stability of business He is not a man
I judge to adventure with rash ex
periments or to Impede a return to
prosperity by advocating measures
subversive of industrial progress
It cannot be said that the present
administration President Roosevelts
has in any way favored the special in
terests to which my life has been de
voted
Mr Rockefeller had not been at the
offices of the Standard Oil Company
for several years when he gave out
this interview but he regarded his
declaration for Mr Taft as of such
importance that he went to trie office
for the special purpose of giving the
interview No one has ever accused
Mr Rockefeller of being a Progressive
Wnenever 1 hear a man talking
about a third presidential term as a
menace to American institutions
says the Alfalfa Sage- I ask him con
fldentally what is his real objection
to Roosevelt
