MR. ROOSEVELT 29 A JOURNALIST

It is chersetoristio of Mr. Roosevelt that, however hard his labours may have been, he cannot long remain idle. Three days after he. ceased to be President of the United States, he made his debut on a professional journalist by contributing, in his now capacity of "associate oditor, an article to the New York Outlook. The article is entitled “Why I believe in the, kind of Amories journalism for which the Out- look stands."

It runs in part-

This style of sordid evil does not even constitute a temptation to the Outlook; no influence of any Lind could make the men who control the Outlook so much as consider the question of abandonment of duty i and they bold as their first doty inflexible adher ence to the elementary virtues of entire trath, entire courage, entire honesty..

Moreover, they are as far removed as the poles from the apostles of that hideous yellow journ. alism which deifies the cult of the mendacious, tho sensational, and the inane, and which, throughout its wide but rapid field, does as much to vulgarize and degrade the popular taste, to weaken the popular character, and to dull the edge of the popular conscience, as any influenes under which the country can suffer. These men яneer at the very idea of paying heed to the distates, of a sound morality; as one of their number has syn- ically put it, they are concerned merely with sell Ing the pablic whatever the public will baya theory of conduct which would justify the arist. ence of every keeper of an opium den, of every foul creature who ministers to the viser of man-
