THE OUTGROWN ROOSEVELT
Correspondence to the New York
World: What is the motive of the
fuss that is to be made over Mr.
Roosevelt's return to America? Evi
dently it is a Roosevelt boom for
the presidency and a thumping re
buke to Mr. Taft. But Roosevelt
himself is the cause of Taft; he
fathered Taft as president upon a
lukewarm and doubtful people; he
knew Taft well from years of close
Cabinet association with him. Did
he support Taft because he wanted
a weak man in the presidency, so
that the people should become dis
satisfied and clamor for him (Roose
velt) again? If so, he was ignobly
selfish, not caring what became of
the country, and is utterly unfit to
trust.
Ha'd he been in earnest about hav
ing staunch, aggressive Work carried
on, would he not" have backed a man
like LaFollette, who Would have
surely done it?
The point that ought to be recog
nized, then, is that Mr. Taft has lived
up to Roosevelt' desire, has been
Roosevelt's ideal president, and that
ft js perfidy' for Mr. Jtooseve'lt or his
friends to go. back on Taft. He
chose a president whom he wanted
to have flunk 'great things; that
president has done so. What honor
will there be in Roosevelt if he now
comes forward to punish him for it
and pose as tho nation's savior from
Taftian chaos?
In plain truth too Mr. Taft has
been an averagely strong president;
in some things weak, but in others
clearer and more advanced than
jfoosevelt. Roosevelt bungled the
question of trusts like a poor me
chanic by- his futile, untenable dis
tinction between good and bad
trusts. After that he can only
grope; a sane policy is impossible.
And he had no rational policy. He
I was already behind the times when
he left the president's chair, and the
