Show Tht Presideit's Uftfortiiaita Hute. President Roosevelt is a great and good man, but he is so. impetuous that he often renders his most continuous efforts futile. He has met a rebuff from the Senate, which he could have avoided had he exercised a little tact, a quality that is entirely lacking in the executive, however. Now, instead of acknowledging the corn, he is "standing pat'' by refusing to submit the arbitration arbi-tration treaties as amended by the Senate to the countries with which they were negotiated. Nothing will be gained by such headstrong and ftubborn methods and much may be lost. The Senate Sen-ate has it in its power to defeat the measure regulating regu-lating railroad freight rates and it will not require much provocation to do it. It is a pity that President Roosevelt cannot learn to curb his haste. He would accomplish far more by going slow. |
