"Dear Cabot"

"Secret History of Men and Events . . . Amazingly Revealed in Intimate Epistles"--so the Hearst press described the correspondence of the late Theodore Roosevelt and Henry Cabot Lodge, which it began last week to publish serially. Charles Scribner's Sons has the copyright and presumably will soon present the material in book form.

It is "amazingly" revealed that while the whole country was calling the late President "Teddy" and "T. R.," his friend from Massachusetts addressed him "intimately" as "Dear Theodore." The President responded with "Dear Cabot."

The letters tell of T. R.'s struggle with the trusts, with Mark Hanna, with E. H. Harriman, with other interests--national and international.

In one of his replies, the erudite Senator from Massachusetts observed astutely: "You are blessed in your enemies."
