St. Landry clarion. (Opelousas, La.) 1890-1921, 1901-10-12

From Washington he passed to a po-
lice commissionership in New. York
city, His peculiar ability TO work, and
work on right lines, gave the corrupt
police force such a shaking up as ithad
never had before. He was police COM
missioner in every sense of the word,
unbribable, unapproachable. fair to
the fair-minded. severe on the Grim
inal. His books continued to sell in
Increasing number, and the public
through the press, began to have a
broader view Of him.
When the Spanish American war
came he was assistant secretary Of the
navy by the authority j of President Me-
kinley. He. had much to do with the
organization OF the navy for the con-
f1ict, and 1t has always been believed
that his influence largely contributed
TO the sending of Admiral Dewey to
ng-kong, and thence to Manila bay.
When war became a certainty Mr..
Roosevelt resigned his position in the
navy department. and with Gen. Leon
ard Wood organized the First vo,un-
teer cavalry, better known as the
rough riders. Gen. Wood was colonel
of this regiment and Mr.. Roosevelt

fused money compensation for his
| services.
OF Delicate Health When a Lad.
Roosevelt was a pale and delica te
! boy, the very opposite in health Of
what he has since become. Plenty of
outdoor air and physical exercise soon
began to give him a good degree Of
bodily vigor, and in his college years
he became skilled in boxing and
wrestling.
In Harvard university he held good
rank as scholar, giving especial at
sention to natural history and gem
eral historical subjects. After his
graduation from Harvard in 1880 he
continued his studies at Dresden and
then Travelled in Europe and the east.
Roosevelt Enters Politics.
In 1881 Roosevelt, % years Of age,
began his active life In New York. And
with him activity was activity. His
father had instil1ed into his mind
contempt for the man who drifts
through an inactive life of comfortable
self-indulgence, achieving nothing.
He tried plunge into New York
politics. In his city district was re-
publican machine combination that
showed no disposition to recognize his
desire to become a member of the leg
islature, He fought the machine and
defeated it.
In 1854 he appeared before the ma
tion. His health troubled him and he

the regiment came from the first fam
lies in the east. from ranches in the
west, came from wherever good horse
men, daring men and good shots could
be secured. 8
Forms Unique Regiment.
The regiment was the most UNIQUE
Of It's kind ever organized, and was
much scoffed at in the beginning. Be
fore il had been two days in Cuba the
wisdom OF its organiza ton was plainly
seen. The men were fitted for any
kind Of campaigning. Their colonel
and lieutenant colonel took what they
took. Theregiment practically foraged
itself, and was first in the field and
first to be baptized with fire. AT Las
Guasimas, Kettle hill and San Juan it
gave up its bravest and best and went
on to victory.
Mr.. Roosevelt was its colonel before
the end Of the war, and pronounced by
the foreign military attaches who OBJ
served his conduct in the field as one
Of the first military officers of the day.
He was In Santiago at the surrender,

But Would-be upper class based main

tiona1ld not the rule for mansto be
of any real account in the national life,
whether as a politician, a literary man,
or otherwise, Is of necessity radically
defective and Of little moment. Z
He is an intimate Of Jacob Riis, the
tenement slums reformer Of sSseW York
city; Of Frederick Hollis, secretary
OF The Hague conference, and
Henry Cabot Lodge. His habits are
simple, his life most strenuous. He
does not know the me aning of the word
idle, or Of "misapplication. He has
often been called a typical Ameri-
can. s. The phrase fits him.

with Spain. governor of New York and
vice president Of the United States.
Furthermore, TO appreciate fully
the size Of Mr.. Rooseyelt's product as
an author re must bear in mind two
more things-tIe character Of his
work and the diversity of his sub
jects. Most of his books are not such
as could be written off hand. His His
tory OF the Navy IN the War Of 1912
and his Winning Of the West" involved
q great deal OF searching among
archives and old manuscripts ID state
and national government offices, in
libraries and in private collections
His subjects include naval history,
military history, frontier history, mu-
nieipal history, sport. biography, BIZ
5ology, politics ethics and book re-
views.
Mr.. Roosevelt's style is that Of
plain man telling a straight forward
story. After reading his books ron
are certain that he never paid any at
tention to his style. and the evidence
is, not that the style is not good, but
that there is absolutely no strainina
after effect. He is essentially d prac-
teal man, but he Is well endowed with
ina gination, and this gives to his work
an occasional poetic touch that ap-
peals TO the readers sympathfes. He
has, toos a power Of coming striking
phrases and Of putting things in 8 /
way that catches the attention. sThe |
strenuous Hfe Is a phrase with o

Time for Much writing.
It Is now nearly 20 years since Theo-
dore Roosevelt took a place in the
public eye as man Of affairs. Grant
ing him the prophets three score years
and ten, only little more than a third
Of his period Of maturity has passed.
And yet "A volumes stand to his credit.
And It we add the books in which his
name appears as editor and contrib
ntor, like .The History Of the Royal
Navy" and the book of which he and
Mr.. Henry Cabot Lodge are joint au-
thors, the total number Of his books
is II.
This would be remarkable in an
author whose sole occupation was
writing. It appears still more so in
q man to whom authorship is but an
incident, when we recall that he has
served three terms in the New York
legislature; that he was for five wears
a member of the civil service commits
sion, and for three arduous years pres
ident Of the board Of police commits
sioners in New York city; that he has
been assistant secretary Of the navy,

Mr.. Roosevelt has been known TO the
public principally as writer and a
rough rider. It was therefore singu-
larly appropriate in at least one re-
spect that it was in the musty atmos-

oath to faithfully execute the office

He lost money on his cattle venture,
but he returned to New York a strong
man physically, and he made the race
for mayor Of that city. He was de-
feated, but he laughed. understood
that the corrupt elements of the eftF
would not tolerate him, but he waited.
Meanwhile he wrote books--boolss on
hunting, books on western life, books
on eastern cities. His style IN liter
ature was vigorous and pleasing. His
books sold wei and the magazines
made great demand for his writings.
The public liked his breeziness. his ev-

tally appreciated him even before he

| trymen there is one point upon which
I wish to lay especial stress; that is,
the necessity for q feeling Of broad.
radical and intense Americanism, If
good work is 20 be done il any diree-
ton. Above all. the one essential for
success in every political movement
which IS to do lasting good is that our
citizens should act as Americans, not
as Americans with prefix and quail
fca tionnot as Irish Americans, Ger
man-Americans, native Americans
but as Americans pure and simple.
Opinion ON Caste.
1T IS an outrage for a man to drag
foreign politics into our contests and
vote as an8Irish Imam or German or 9TH
er foreigner, as the case may be, and
there IS no worse citizen than the pro-
fessional Irish dynamiter or German
anarchist, because of his attitude to-
ward our social and political life, not
to mention his efforts to e1nbroiI lis
with foreign powers. But II IS no less
an outrage to discriminate against one
who has become an American IN good
faith. merely because OF his creed or
birthplace
OF caste he has written: As for the
upper social world. the fashionable
world, it is much as II was when por-
trayed in tPotiphar Papers, save that
modern society has shifted the shrine
At which it pays comical but sincere
homage from Paris to London. Per-
haps it is rather better, for it Is less
provincial and trifIe more American.

Theodore Roosevelt is the twenty
sixth president of the United States,

gave the assurance that the vegetable could

however, have not come up to the eXpecta-

A proposition submitted to the board of

proposition was made that money should
be advanced for the purchase of the ground

and that the property be exempted from

An Inquiry was made during the past
