What sort ot man has tho best

who has captivated the fancy of tho
world by achievements in tho other
kind of heroism. Ethically, perhaps,
ho ought to have no bettor chanco than
any other man, but actually we all
know quite well that he has, and it
wero foolish not to acquiesce In a fact

If Mr Roosevelt continues to do his
high work In tho spirit which Inspires
this remarkable sermon, ho will prove
to be the most sweetening Influence In
the whole lump of American civic life
that has been known for many years.
Not only has he a better chance of do
ing this than any other man, but there
Is no one who has so good a right to
do it as the man who cleansed the
system of the New York police. That
was an achievement of hard work as
well as of courage. Wo must not ex
aggerate, but we Judge that If Mr,
Roosevelt had to clean out an Augean
stable he would not turn a river Into
it. but would do the Job by hard shov
eling. Detter tha'n that, he would in

Courage Is tho last vlrtuo which Mr,
Hoosevclt shows signs of lacking. His
civic courage Is a consuming fire.
"You must feci In you," ho says, "a
fiery wrath against ovll. When you
see n wiong. Instead of feeling shock
ed and hint, and a dcslro to go home"
Is not this a characteristically tell
ing American phrase? "and a wish
that right prevailed" as though you
were an Impotent Orcck chorus with
pious wishes for alt your politics!
"you should go out and fight until that
wrong Is overcome." Later he says:
"Thou Shalt tell tho truth, and thou
snail leu u jusi as mucn on mo slump

one sees a man with tlio Inflexible
moral vigor of a Cromwell. One sees
that the successful soldiering was not,
after all, his bent, but only a partic
ular manifestation of his general thor
oughness. It was an accident. This
moral crusading Is every bit as much
part of him and as much to his liking.
Mr. Roosevelt is, wo aro convinced,
going to play a great part and a good
part. In the war he commanded tho
admiration of every young American
who respects bravery, and If young
Amerlcnns are like tho rising genera
tions of other countries he can now
lead them with his finger. If In his
slashing, dramatic way ho makes
