Degrading a Great Occasion.
President Roo3ovolt, in liis speech
at the World's fuir dedication, utterly
failed to rise to the dignity of the oc
casion. Ho also exhibited wretched
taste. It was a grand opportunity to
glorify one of the chief builders of
the great American republic Thomas
Jofferson, to whoir this country owes
moro than to any other man except
Washington. Mr. Roosevelt men
tioned Jeitorson's name only once in
his speech, and that was to say that
tho Louisiana purchase took place un
der Jefferson's administration. Ho
e ould have stated tho historical fact
that Jefferson was the solo author of
that great deed. Good taste required
that politics should bo kept out of
tho celebration. Mr. Roosevelt abused
tho honor shown him, by trying to4
make Jefferson's peaceful, patriotic
and statesmanlike act a precedont
tor and an extenuation of the hideous
crime of murdering four hundred thou
sand Filipinos, men, women and chil
dren, and robbing those left alive of
their independence, and that, too, in
flagrant violation of tho laws of God,
the constitution of the United States
and the Declaration of Independence.
Mr. Roosevelt degraded tho occasio.i
ho was expected to glorify. . . . There
was every reason why W. J. Bryan
should have been invited to partici
pate in tho World's fair dedication,
ko is one of tho very few Americans
who is devoting every energy to pre
jervo the constitution of tho United

The people of the
city and nation have been taxed
eleven million dollars to build the
fair, and the more than thirty millions
of people whom Bryan represents had
a right to a voice in the dedication.
Professedly, Bryan was left out tD
avoid "mixing politics with the fair,"
but that was just what was done and
Grover Cleveland was brought here
for no other purpose than to pave the
way for tho hoped-for capture of the
democracy by the Hessians, at the be
hest of Wall street "Mr. Cleveland
was posed for political effect, and Mr.
Roosevelt was allowed to use the
World's fair as a vehicle for palliat
ing tho administration's damnable
Philippine policy, under the excuse
that tho purchL-o of Louisiana terri
tory was expansion and the present
Philippine policy is expansion, and
since tho former was a wonderful suc
cess, a success which the World's fair
celebrates, tho latter must also be
just and right It was to avoid mixing
politics with the fair, professedly, but
if the dedication policy continues the
fair will be turned into a political ma
chine, dominated by the money power
