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.
