WSAFEI UNSAFE
Democratic Charge Against Pres
ident Roosevelt That Is
Without Foundation
THEEE YEASS IN WHITE HOUSE
And at No Time Has Anything Been
Done That Did Not Tend Toward
I Peace with All the World
When the bitter personal attacks on
Theodore Roosevelt are analyzed and
when a Democratic agitator is asked
to define his opposition to the presi
dent the inevitable reply is that
Roosevelt is an unsafe man
Now is he
What makes an unsafe man When
Is n man safe and -when is he danger
ous How are we to judge a man
by what he has done or by what some
one says he may do Are -we justified
in calling a man unsafe -who has all
his life been eminently safe Is not a
man entitled to the reputation he
makes for himself
For tliree years Theodore Roosevelt
has had absolute power as president
of the United States and yet during
that tliree years although called to the
great office suddenly as the result of a
horrible murder he has never lost his
head He has never done a dangerous
thing he hjs at no time involved the
country in difficulties either at home
or abroad
False Predictions
Immediately following the murder
of William McKiuley predictions were
freely made in the Democratic press
that President Rooseveltwould involve
the country in Avar Has he done so
It was also freely predicted that he
would break with the Republican ma
jority in the house and the senate and
that he would insist on having his own
way disregarding the advice of the
time honored leaders of the party Has
he done so
Does not every one know on the
contrary that the conditions of peace
between the United States and the rest
of the world were never more secure
ly anchored than today This has not
been because the president has not had
an opportunity to go to war There
have been half a dozen such opportuni
ties at the very least since he became
president when if he had been the un
safe man he was alleged to be he
might easilyhave involved us in war
with one or more of the great powers
of Europe He has met every diplo
matic emergency with rough and ready
diplomacy and extraordinary tact
which have won for the United States
the respect of the civilized world

partment under Theodore Roosevelt for
the last three years and see how
much has been accomplished to uphold
the dignity and the honor of the Unit
ed States without at any time caus
ing the slightest apprehension of for
eign war It was during the present
administration that a special commis
sion was appointed to adjust the dis
puted boundary betweeen Alaska and
the Dominion of Canada Some of
the Canadian people and papers talked
rather savagely There was every op
portunity for a mis step on the part
of the United States A little too much
bluster a little too pronounced brag
failure in tact at the proper moment
a substitution of timidity for bravery
or of rashness for conservatism by
Theodore Roosevelt would have fanned
the feeling in Canada into a dangerous
flame The Alaska boundary was an
inheritance from the McKinley admin
istration but it was safely settled un
der Roosevelt settled to the credit of
the United States settled without the
loss of an inch of American territory
and settled too without the destruc
tion of the friendly feeling between
Great Britain and the United States
When Germany and England were
at the throats of the little republic of
Venezuela an unsafe president might
easily have involved us in war with
those two countries and a timid presi
dent might easily have brought upon
the flag the shame of the rest of the
world Russia and Japan have been
at war The sentiment of the people
in this country has been largely in
favor of Japan Yet John Hay the
wise and discreet secretary of state
appointed by McKinley and unhesitat
ingly retained by Roosevelt has so
successfully directed the course of
American diplomacy that the United
States today is as much the friend of
Russia as it is of the little fighting
cock Japan The United States in
fact has dictated the diplomatic con
duct of hostilities between Russia and
Japan This country has dominated
the situation and yet at no time has
there been the slightest danger that
we might become embroiled with any
foreign nation
Safe Every Day in the Year
These are the actual results of three
years of the foreign policy of Theo
dore Roosevelt tne man who when he
entered the White House as the result
of a murderous bullet was by his po
litical adversaries pictured to the oth
er nations of the world as a braggart
and swashbuckler He has been safe
always safe every day and every hour
since he has been president of the
United States He has never lowered
the American flag to anybody he has
never been forced to apologize and
he has conducted every episode of our
foreign policy with the advice of
John Hay in such a way as to pre
serve the honor of the American re
public and to gain the respect of the
sovereigns of the world There is not
a king nor an emperor nor a presi
dent nor a potentate from Peking to
Timbuctoo who does not know today
that Theodore Roosevelt Is of the best
American type honest frank cour
ageous sensible and always safe for
those who treat him fairly
Men of the Roosevelt type are un
safe only to the dishonest to the dis
turbers of the peace of nations to the
grafters at home and the grabbers
abroad to the manipulators of mar
kets and the wreckers of nations To
the honest men to the people of the
home and the fireside to the good king
and to the good subject the Roose
velt type is the safest thing in all this
world

The Saino Old Difference
Two files stood close together on a
screen Its pleasant weather said
the first fly Im glad you think so
buzzed the second fly Its well
enough I suppose but it look3 like
rain
Let her rain said the first fly
Who cares I believe in making the
best of things Whats the use of kick
ing all the time
I admit said the second fly that
theres no use in kicking but If you
dont kick theres little else to do I
tell you this is a hard world I see
mighty little in it Im disgusted with
the whole trouble
The trouble with you is said the
first fly that you are a pessimist and
Im an optimist I naturally look on
the bright side of things and you look
on the dark Its a question of temper
ament I cant help being happy and
you cant help being unhappy We
were born so Its fate pure and sim
ple That my friend is the difference
between us
The second fly buzzed satirically
Thats where youre way off he re
plied As a matter of fact the differ
ence between us is simply this Im on
the outside and youre onthe inside of
this screen Colliers

In married life is generally
made on an equal footing
of health in man and wife
But how soon in many
cases the wife loses the
advantage and fades in face and fails in
flesh while her husband grows even
more rugged and robust
There is one chief cause for this wifely
failure and that is the failure of the
-womanly health When there is irregu
larity or an unhealthy drain inflamma
tion ulceration or female weakness the
general health is soon impaired

A Continual Strain
Many men and women are constantly
subjected to what they commonly term
a continual strain because of some
financial or family trouble It wears
and distresses them both mentally and
physically affecting their nerves badly
and bringing on kidney and liver ail
ments with the attendant evils of con
stipation loss of appetite sleeplessness
low vitality and despondency They can
not as a rule get rid of this continu
al strain but they can remedy its health
destroying effects by taking frequent
doses of Greens August r lower It tones
up the liver stimulates the kidneys in
sures healthy bodilv functions gives
vim and spirit to ones whole being and
eventually dispels the physical or men
tal distress caused by that continual
strain Trial bottle of August Flower
