When State 1 ature forbids the teaching of scientific biology in a State university, when a leader of the Demo- cratic party denies the science which has carried man over the waters and through the air, and enabled this statesman to broadcast his inanities across the cir- cumambient ether, one almost despairs of the much overestimated human race.

But that the public good was y actly what he thought it was, or that the end of service always justified the means employed to attain it, leaves some room for doubt in a good many minds—though none in’ Lord Charn- wood’s. The Panama grab is Jesuitically justified, for instance. sver, as the reasoning employed by T. R. himself in justification was so exactly that used by England in similar circumstances, it is perhaps small wonder that Charnwood accepts it. In T.

But it is a grave ques- tion whether a later generation will not see the banners of militarism, quaint boyish bloodthirstiness. Teddy did love a gun, spurting blood, marching men. At any rate, a dispassionate biographer would have to pause some time over the hunting trips and the Rough Riders and the antiquated pre- paredness program. Charnwood, too, being of Roosevelt's own generation, and being, besides, an Englishman, rather misses, we fancy, the underlying psychology of America’s atti- tude toward T. R. in his later years.
