r*v * ROOSEVELT'S NEW NATIONALISM . IS NEITHER NEW NOR DESIRABLE Some surprise has been ex- j pressed that Mr. Roosevelt should have selected the name, "new nationalism," for the creed promulgated at Osawatomie, says W. J. Bryan in The Commoner. The parts that attracted most attention were those in which he indorsed doctrines for which the Democratic party has been fightincr fnr vnaro TJio 011 fInnl/ ever, makes the matter clear. It says that the essence of the new nationalism is to be found in a few sentences, among: which the following stand out most prominently: "The new nationalism is impatient of the utter confusion that results from local Legislatures attempting to treat national issues as local issues." "It is still more impatient of the impotence which springs from the over-division of government powers." , "This new nationalism regards the executive power as the steward of the public welfare." , . It seems that the ex-president regards as minor matters the income tax, publicity as to cam- , paign contributions, the domina- j tion of politics by corporations, etc., while he lays great stress on the centralizing propositions which he sets forth. He raises an issue which most in time separate him from most of the Insurgents and alienate such sympathy as won from Demo- l crats by his indorsement of a part ' of the Democratic program. The Country will not take kindly to , his attempt to revive discarded Hamiltonian doctrines. lie can not popularize them. The trend is toward democracy and away from the aristocratic ideas of 411V AUllUCi ixaillll tl/ll. Mr. Roosevelt is mistaken when he thinks that there is "utter confusion" because the States insist upon dealing with questions that concern them. It remains to be seen what he had in mind when he made this indictment against State Legislatures. If he had reference to conservation, he ought to read the New York platform. He will find that even in New York the convention Over which he presided was careful to safeguard the interests of the States. Hut it is probable that he had in mind the national fncorporation of railroads which he has urged and the national incorporation of industrial enterprises which both he and Presi- . dent Taft favor. The purpose of national incorporation is not to 1 increase national supervision but 1 to leave incorporation. His second plank recalls the restiveness which he has ever " shown when confronted by < constitutional limitations. Here < again he discloses the Hamilto-, i nian bent of his mind. Hamil- [ ton was a believer in cen tralifcation. He viewed society < from an aristocratic standpoint, < while those who framed our con- < stitution justly recognized the i impossibility of securing justice except by a proper distribution j4 of power. Mr. Roosevelt will 4 have hard work convincing the 1 < public that it would be wise to 4 go backward and consolidate the departments of our government. The third plank is really a col- \' lary of the second. It is a sort ' of an apology as well as an ex- < Elanation. If the executive is to , e everything under the new na- , tionalism, Mr. Roosevelt wants it understood that he is to recog- ' nize himself as a steward of the 4 public welfare. Why single out! < the executive? Are not all pub- j, llic oflicials stewards of the public { welfare in the same sense? If the word steward is intended to, mean the same as the word rep- ! resentative, then the legislative and judicial departments should feel the same responsibility as the executive department. If, however, Mr. Roosevelt, uses the! word steward in a different sense and means that while other departments of government are to be representative, the executive department is to exercise a fatheuly interest and act independent-, ly of the wishes of the people- but for their good, of course? he is advancing a doctrine that is as dangerous as it is strange to our people. That is the doctrine of monarchies, not the doctrine of republics. Hut we shall see as time goes on just how far Mr. Roosevelt's creed is to be nationalistic and how far it is to be really new. If it means centralization, it ought not to be called new because cen-; tralization is the old system from which we have departed, not a new system toward which we are advancing. Mrs. Cook Tells Truth. Dexter, Ky. ? In a signed statement, Mrs. Cook tells the truth about how Cardui brought back her health and strength. She says, "I could not get any relief, until I tried Cardui, the woman's tonic. I suffered more or less for 10 years, and was so weak and nervous I could hardly do m> house work. Now I am in better health than ever before, air regular as clock work, do nol suffer at all, and gain strength every day.'' Thousands of womer have been helped back to health by Cardui. Try it.
