j| ie Steward of The Nation
_________________
In his Osawatomie speech, set-
ting forth the (weed of the new
party, called “Progressive Repub¬
licans,” who have espoused the
“new nationalism,” nothing is
more striking than this utterance:
This is consolidation!, this is
centralism, this is conferring on
the executive branch of the gov¬
ernment vast authority. It is the
one-man power such as the King
of England is a stranger to. No
wonder the Czar of Russia said
Mr. Roosevelt desired to be Presi¬
dent for life, like Diaz of Mexico.
This utterance is at variance with
our system of government. Y.et
it was applauded in the West. The
people shouted. The South, bur¬
dened with the negro problem,
needs all the State rights left to us
at Appomattox.
“I AM THE STATE.”
Savoyard, the distinguished
Washington correspondent of The
draws a picture of the
kind of *’steward” the nation would
have. He says:
“Theodore Roosevelt has an
utter and absolute contempt for
the binding force of law when it
comes in conflict with one of his
pragmatic what and damphool ideas of
is expedient. That he is a con-
grandstand surnmate politician I admit; as a
qualled. He player he is une¬
Priest can pray with Sir
and he can curse with Sir
Knight, il Theoretically he is a civ¬
service reformer with Carl
Shurz; Practically he is a spoils¬
man with Tom Platt. He is Jan¬
us-faced that fronts every wav.”
Savoyard recalls the Indianola,
Miss., incident where Roosevelt
abolished the postoffice because the
negro was objectionable to thewhite
and how the negro Crum
was forced on Charleston. Pos¬
ition as an octopus-chaser, he kept
country in hot water for seven
yet never touched an octo¬
He marched up the hill with
men—and marched down
Roosevelt denounced Parker as
liar when Parker said the trusts
| would velt buy they the election for Roose-
as had for McKinley.
Yet there are Roosevelt Demo¬
crats ready to join the “new na¬
tionalism” creed just because Ted¬
dy is the leader.
Savoyard is wicked enough to
recall also the Tennessee Coal and
Iron performance. He says:
There wfes the Sherman anti¬
trust law that was very embarras-
ing to moijjopoly. The steel trust
had one petitor, and that the
Tennessee pinic ipoal and Iron Company,
that the hit hard. Here was
the opportunity of the steel trust,
and it camp down to this town at
the hour of midnight, and after a
long conference with President
Roosevelt, he granted the steel men
immunity, and licensed them to
violate the law and buy and absorb
their own rival, the Tennessee Coal
and Iron Company.
. . . That was a precedent
for Roosevelt’s indulgence to the
steel trust, to which every hill of
corn, or plant of tobacco, or row
of cotton, or field of wheat, oats,
rye, every blade of grass of the
meadow, has paid tribute every
year the past third of a centurv.
Nay every inhabitant, man,
woman or child, of all races and
conditions, has been laid under
tribute by this grasping monopoly
that bestowed on Carnegie half a
billion, and filled Pittsburg fuller
of millionaires than Tophet is of
tiddlers.
With Roosevelt as “steward of
the nation.” clothed with endless
power, what would be the policy
of the government? Even his
threat of “new nationalism” has
already made for onrest, for tur¬
moil, created uncertainty, Un-
certainty in business circles leads
to depression. Business demands
a smooth road, Roosevelt has
made the road rough. Railroad
securities have already taken a
tumble. Will lie force another
“Roosevelt panic”?—Macon Tele¬
graph.
pompAnd Display
At Funerals
Mr. L. lived there,” pointed
out the lady with whom I was
driving. “You didn,t know him.
Why, he wat, a real prominent
man. When he died he had the
greatest funeral I ever saw. The
flowers were something magnifi¬
cent. There must have been three
or four hundred dollars’ worth. It
was a grand funeral. I wouldn’t
have missed it for anything.”
With difficulty I repressed a
smile. And then a sigh.
Even into the valley of the shad¬
ow we carry the ceremony, the
ostentation and the money attitude
olj the world.
I think of our fashionable wed¬
dings, to which we bid, not. the
few whom we really love and who
love us, and to whom such an oc¬
casion really belongs, but all the
curious, gaping crowd of our ac¬
quaintance, who come as they
would go to a play or any other
spectacle, are bad enough, but to
have a funeral on the same plan is
even worse.
“Yes, Harry had a terrible time
to get away from his business—
you know it’s the very busiest
season—but I told him we simply
had to go to Mr. L’s funeral. What
would Mrs. L. think if we didn’t?”
a woman asked me the other day.
Whas an insult to the dead man
to carry formality and punctilious¬
ness and ceremony even to the
edge of the grave,
1 have written before of the
cruelty and uselessness of the av-
erage funeral service, narrowing
feelings already harrowed almost
past endurance and doing no one
any possible good.
Today what I protest against
especially is formality and cere-
mony—the habit of regarding it
as a function which must be at¬
tended by all the acquaintances of
the dead man and bis family.
I do not beleive in the old idea
that we honor the dead in that

way. If we really want to do him
honor I think we think we can do
it far better by trying to be a bit
kinder, a bit more forbearing, a
bit less unselfish to our fellowmen
whenever we think of them.
I should like to see funeral! ser¬
vices completelv abolished and %
simple commitment service left as
the only burial ceremony, but if
there are to be funerals let them
be attended only by a man’s close
friends who come spontaneously
and not by obligation.
An unknown poet has expressed
just mv feelings on this subjet. I
wonder if they are yours?
When 1 am dead.
I would not have the rude and
gaping crowd.
Around me gather, and ’mid lam¬
entations loud
Tell of my virtue and with vain
regret
Bemoan my loss, and levaving me
forgot.
But I would have the few of kind¬
ly heart,
Who when misfortune came so
nobly did their part.
And oft by thoughtful deeds then
love expressed:
These wold I have, no more, no
less when 1 am dead.
