HERALD-REPUBLICA- , N -- TUESDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1II5. WITH A KEEN BLADE ROOSEVELT'S lusty upon Nthe national ad-- : ministration must be extremely to its defenders. The former President is not the sort of person who can be dismissed with the aspersions heaped upon less eminent critics. Not even the least tactful .of the administration's champions cares to flinq: at the Colonel the impertinences which, m lieu of argument and fact, are hurled at others, who disagree with it and say .so. lie cannot safely be clashed as a traitor, or herded with the hyphenates, or ignored as one who has no comprehension of the great 'questions he discusses. He is an .American whose patriotism cannot be impugned, and who lived ".America First" as a rule of life long before the men now supreme in the American government had anything more than parochial reputations. None of the usual replies will meet the Colonel's strictures. They must bo answered, or evaded and ignored while the country prepares to act upon the convictions his statements promote, lie strikes with his proverbial keenness at the most vulnerable points, arraigning the administration for sins of omission and commission which can neither be denied nor palliated. ,pOLONEL attacks nc: BILL'S GOING TO STICK YKTJLLIAM FLIXX'S decision to be " "the last man. or one of the last, to leave the Progressive ship" does not impress as particularly heroic those who understand the burly Pennsylvania politician and his position in Pennsylvania politics. He is not a Christian soldier and does not pretend to be at least at home, where he is known as an upstanding tighter with a fondness for having his own way and a habit of breaking the dishes when, his pla3"mates show independence. Flinu was the leader, in the days when the were merrily of branch that of the Reburgling, in publican party Pennsylvania which was getting its beating regularly... He had the machine and the delegates, but he had to nominate to office men he didn't like and couldn't use to escape defeat at the polls. He might as well have. been a Democrat for anything it got him in Pennsylvania. He was glad to join the insurrection when it came and he would be glad to continue it because the political crowd that will have none of him is in the saddle in his own bailiwick of Pittsburgh and, if he leaves the Progressive ship, there is nothing to get into but some very wet water. But Flinn will not prove an insuperable obstacle to the reunion which is staged to occur in Chicago on dune 7 of next, year. Colonel Roosevelt, and those accustomed to asking the Colonel's advice and taking it. will not be disturbed by whatever the Flinn opinions may happen to be. They understand that Flinn will play politics with anybody that can guarantee him a political profit and that Armageddon will be attractive to him only so long as he finds it a useful political residence. Bill lost all his illusions so long ago he cannot now even remember that he ever had any. He has a sizable fortune, accumulated by methods entirely honorable, but due entirely to his political influence. When he observes the "rules of the sea" and sticks to the last, it may be safely conjectured that the ship contains something valuable Bill wants to take with him when he goes, with none to dispute possession. s al . best-edite- its less skillful partisan associates . hen it seeks to defend the Democratic Tiiat principle defies intelligent fen-It constantly plunges its de fenders into inconsistencies where the nrrmiep ilrpv presented at the berin- at the close, nng they must contradict no better than and the World does others: That newspaper declares on the one hand that "the great losses of men and the great burden of debt, from thr effects of which every belligerent must suffer, will make it more difficult than ever for them to compete American induswith tries which have gained a tremendous By this it proves a pro- -' impulse.' fective tariff will not be needed after the war, and then, to prove the belligerents may seek reprisals if a protective tariff is restored, it proceeds to assume that none of these unfortunate conditions which it has de- de- - e.

The Massachusetts congressman was the pioneer in this matter of preparedness to resist aggression. His was the voice that aroused the nation to its duty, and the movement is still so young that his contemporaries cannot evade giving him credit for it. For weeks he endured almost alone the sneers of the President, of the Secretaries of the Navy and of War, but he has since had the pleasure of observing his eminent critics reverse themselves and occupy the ground where he stood when they attacked him.
