By WILLIAM ERUCKART By LEMUEL F. PARTON court with the new appointments that would come to him is easily recalled. But the President dug up the court skeleton, the other day. It struck me as terribly foolish because the country had forgotten much about that mistake. Mr. Roosevelt recalled it in all of its fury, however, by issuing a statement, almost without notice, saying that he had obtained his court fight objectives with enactment finally of a minor bill that sets up a court administrator. In the same statement, Mr. Rooseis just like all other champions always a favorite with Billy Conn, new Irish king of the velt made a bad break. He am the kids.

Well, it Peace-Tim- e happened that the senate passed the judggship bill, but the house never did, and Mr. Roosevelt was incorrectly informed. The result was the same: it made the President look v V I rather sour for the moment. Along with Mr Roosevelts state4 ment about Argentine canndd beef , being of a better quality than our own beef, I think we ought to rank the Presidents statement about the refusal of congress to pass the spending-lendmbill and the housing bill. It struck me as being very bad politics for the , President to climb way out on a limb and say that the congress gambled with the welfare of 1,500,000,000 people when it failed to enact the administrations neutrality bill; it gambled with the welfare of 20,000,000 when it refused to pass the lending bill and the housing bill."

It Is hardly necessary to recall how through some five or six years the Presidents remarks made his opposition wriggle and squirm. His statements seemed to have that necessary punch which quelled outbursts from those who disagreed with him. The press corps of Washington, or a large percentage of its membership, always hankered for a fresh Rooseveltian volley. It was good copy, in a news way. Having noted the changed condition, myself, I sought a canvass of others. Nearly all of them eventually came to the conclusion that the lack of fire now often displayed in Mr. Roosevelts remarks and their failure to arouse the same fervor among his followers are a natural result of events. He has been found by many people to be just human. Like his predecessor in the White Mr. President House, Hoover, Roosevelt was overbuilt or oversold by his ardent admirers. He was labelled as superman, and that is one of the worst things that can happen to a politician; it is the worst thing that can happen to a President because no man can be President unless he is a politician. In saying that the Roosevelt circle ballyhooed their man too much, I hope I am not detracting from the good qualities.

There has been much conversation around here lately concerning the changed leception given President Roosevelt's acts or statements. It can not be doubted that there has been an absence of that buoyancy which characterized his shots of earlier days in the White House; but lately, if one may judge from the observations of many persons, he has been missing the target as often as he has been hitting. The result obviously is that a good many persons have noted less favor- Colorful Berries.

He came east to a crack seat of secondary learning, the Hill school, Pottstown, Pa., and upon graduation entered Columbia where he won .scholastic honors in the department of civil engineering. But, becoming restive under the sedentary routine of student life, he did not wait to be graduated.
