' There are two men of world-wide notoriety in whom President Wilsons policy and method of dealing with the latest Hun peace offensive aroused feelings of bitter anger and chagrin. They are Kaiser Wllhelm, the Beast of Berlin, and Theodore Roosevelt, the disgruntled gad-fly I of America. Judging entirely by I Roosevelt's tirade against President Wilson he would/ierive far more pleasure from the complete over| throw and defeat of the plans of the auuunisirauon man 10 see the Huns check mated end brought into utter subjection by the diplomacy and | war measures of our country's president to whom the full and unreserved loyalty and support of every noncst and sincere American is due at this crisis in the world war. Roosevelt, although an expresident from whom the most exalted type of loyalty should be expected, has throughout the war done his utmost to obstruct and discredit the administration in the eyes of the world and to arouse discontent and antagonism among the people of the United States. He has been guilty time and time again of seditious and treason'able utterances and writings, and as an example and a warning to domestic enemies of less prominence who eagerly ape his disloyal attitude toward President Wilson he should be properly punished. He should be made to feel the weight of the hand of authority that he flaunts at every opportunity Roosevelt and LaFollette, Hearst and Brisbane and men of like kidney are already damned in the eyes of all truly loyal and patriotic Americans but condemnation by public sentiment is not a penalty for their offenses. They should be made to suffer the ignominy of trial and conviction tor their premeditated and deliberate violation of the espionage law which was framed and enacted by congress to prevent and suppress ; the machinations of domestic enemies.
