We kxt In the Midst
of Another Great Battle
To Determine Whether the Heroes
of Gettysburg Gave Their
Lives In Vain. ,
1 much for a Roosevelt deliverance) all that he hae laid down ae the con
< trolling purpose of hla administration with reference to the rich crimina'e
to the malefactora of great wealth.
Also touching the protection of labor from dangers incident to Its em
ployment, and from the gross misuse of Injunctions.
——
Me invokes the spirit of the great Lincoln on the blood-red fields of
Gettysburg in this present struggle to trample greed and cunning and trick
ery under foot and bring in the righteousness that exaltsth a nation.
Some day all the people—many see It even now —will understand that
this Is a conflict quite as big with meaning to the republic as the one that
ealled the martyred president to his memorial task where brave men yielded
up their lives. *-
In vain? That is stilt to be determined. ..
We verily believe Theodore Roosevelt Is fighting the pivotal battle of
American history—one that actually Involves our national destiny, the deter
mination of the question whether this government shall perish from the
face of the earth.
It Is a national calamity that this valorous and unafraid crusader is not
to remain at the head of the forces of righteousness.
It Is a poor time to change commanders.
But if the leadership must pass, why entrust It to any of the men whom
the reactionaries fully expect to be more “temperate” and “oonelderate" than
President Roosevelt has been?
The logical successor in the Republican ranks of Theodore Roosevelt,
reformer, is La Follette.
The logical successor in the Democratic ranks of Theodore Roosevelt,
reformer, Is Bryan.

Through A Skylight v
Onto Operating Table
Nice Place to Land, But the Doc
tors Thought She Didn’t Caro,
So They Didn’t Operate.
* tunate in another; fortunate for the happy landing place.
But suppose that after having brought up at such a convenient
point for relief of his pain and the mending of his broken bones,
the victim had refused to permit the surgeon to minister to him,
them to understand that he didn’t care whether they
did or not?
He would be put down at once as either crazy or a fool.
We might take the more charitable view that in his bruised
and weakened condition he did not really know what was good for
him.
Suppose, on the other hand, that the surgeons, in disregard of
the confidence the public has placed in them in recognition of their
diplomas, should stubbornly refuse to operate, or should wait until
the patient recovered consciousness and should speak for himself,
*by which time it would be too late?
What would the attitude of the public toward those surgeons
be in such an instance?
Would you feel like trusting your case to such men?
Now let us turn these same questions to the case of bruised
and bleeding Miss Michigan before her surgeons past and present.
Entering statehood and groping about in the dark in the hope
of mapping out the true course, but unmindful of the dangers ahead,
the framers of the state’s constitution made a misstep.
And in the course of the long descent, after bumping with
mighty force against such obstacles in the way as corporation greed
-and corrupt capitalism, the dome of the state house came in view to
break the fall, knd the bruised and battered form goes crashing
down into the midst of men holding certificates of public confidence
as the ministers to her ills.
Avery happy place to land, we should imagine.
AND THERE THE PATIENT LIES, BUT MAKING NO
GREAT OUTCRY AND SEEMINGLY INDIFFERENT AS TO
WHETHER RELIEF IS TO BE ADMINISTERED. The
patient's indifference is transmitted to the doctors, who don't
operate.
Or maybe the doctors stand back on the ground that their
subject is unconscious and decide not to interfere with the case
until their services are sufficiently urged, by which time it will be
too late to successfully treat the lacerations and fractures.
Again, the patient demands that she be given immediate at
| tention, and the first doctor, Dr. Legislature, refuses to act iif the
| case.
| “Then summon one whom I know will not fail me,” wails the
l afflicted soul; call Dr. Constitutional Convention at once."
And Dr. Constitutional Convention comes and he decides that
Plhe patient does not know what she wants and he gives her no voice
| in the matter and he, too, refuses to operate.
Now what will Miss Michigan do?
It may not be too late for her to do THE ONE AND ONLY
I THING THAT WILL SAVE HER.
First she should demand that those doctors upon whom she
relied for the treatment of her case; upon whom she was to depend
JSftl the hour of her distress, deliver up their certificates forever more,
rfor they have not proved their fitness to hold them.
And she will at once turn those certificates over, in time for
attention to her hurts, to men who are men enough to hold them
with honor to themselves and to the relief of the cases they are
called into.
Men who realize that it is their first duty to act, and men who
realize that when they are called they are called to act.
And if offered to such fit men and they shall refuse to accept
. and ito hold them, the more is condemnation upon their heads.
Poor Miss Michigan, she had a hard fall.
, Poor Miss Michigan, whose present affliction was contracted
| In the legislature and now is constitutional.
Whose case calls for prompt action and the disinfecting of the
| surroundings where she contracted it, but who can get neither.
Whose case cries loudly for the initiative, the referendum and
tbe recall, which she cannot have. V ~ \ v v V
Who would like the privilege of a voice in the regulation of the
liquor traffic, but is also denied this.
Who sees plainly relief in municipal ownership for her other
V serious symptoms, and is denied again.
\ Let us hope the proper doctors get to her side before IT IS
/TOO LATE
But. as much is it her own fault in the apathetic attitude she
-assumes before her doctors as it is her fault in the choice of them.
Or has she, through blindness and heedlessnes of the danger places
far the path, been reduced to a state of weakness and stupor where
