PLUTOCRACY AND ANARCHY.
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S CRUSADE. Received March 20, 10.45 p.m. NEW. YORK. Maivh 20. President Roosevelt, in an interview with a representative of the Paris newspaper "Le Temps," justified his crusade against plutocracy and anarchy. If, he said, plutocrats were allowed to convert the country into a Tyre or Carthage they would be the harbingers of anarchy. Carthage was a city on the north coast of Africa, and was the capital of one of the great Empires of the ancient world. It was situated on a peninsula at the north-east corner of the region known as Tunis, and was founded about the middle of the 9th century, B.C. Tyre was a city of ancient Phoenicia. About 5,000 people now dwell among the ruins of its ancient glory, finding scanty livelihood in its insignificant exports.
