...Navy in 1898 when Theodore Roosevelt found he could be more useful in the field than in his office. Although they may believe him unsuited for office for other reasons, it is both inconsistent and unjust for Republican papers, which, during the war praised him for the capable manner in which he filled his office, to turn about now and attack Franklin Roosevelt as a "slacker...
...generally admitted that this country prepared for her part in the war in about as extravagant a manner as possible. Circumstances seemed to justify this action since we had more money than time with which to get our men into the trenches. But we have elevated this excuse for an emergency into a rule of conduct.

Although realistically rendered, it does not show the over-emphasis on disagreeable details, apparent in many of Ribera's works, nor his exaggerated "tenebroso" manner, in which the greater part of the canvas is painted in deep shadow, and certain parts in very high light against the shadow. The noble and dignified figure of the saint is well characterized and splendidly handled. Particularly fine is the rendering of flesh. The picture recalls the Apostles...
