Teddy Roosevelt
By this time Teddy Roosevelt is
the president of the United States. The outlook does not appear the most encouraging.
Mr. Roosevelt is recognized as a sort of a grand stand [sic] player; a sensationalist
who poses for popularity. He may be honest and fair enough, but he will lack
when it comes to careful forethought; when occasions arrive that should necessitate
calling together his cabinet for consultation; when time rather than pace should
be taken in disposing of questions of state.
Teddy Roosevelt is a man of strong impulses. One
of those individuals who believes that his own opinions are never worse and
oftimes [sic] better than those of other men. It is this kind of a man that
might by hasty action involve our country in a great trouble that would be most
disastrous in its consequences.
Let it be hoped that Mr. Roosevelt will remember
that no president ever entered upon an undertaking of any national importance
without gravely listening to the voice of his cabinet. And this country has
had many able men at its head.
