this country. AS governor he stood
for radical taxation legislation and
state control of the trusts. His term
was marked by pronounced fight on
his part against the New York repub-
lican machine. He did not seek the
vice presidential nomination last year,
but had it forced upon him, and he ac-
cepted at the last moment. During the
campaign he made trip of over $1,000
miles, speaking for the ticket, and was
received everywhere with popular ac-
claim. Since his Inauguration he has
presided over one extra session of the
senate, and made several trips
throughout the country, attending
public functions.
AS to the real Theodore Roosevelt,
authentic things that he has said give
ample revelation as to what manner of
character he will bring to the presi-
dency. On "Americanism," in an inter
view in 1893, he said:
II naturally disapprove Of the half
conscious spread-eagle Americanism.

wrong moments. 1 dislike it, Of
course, when it is put forward as plea
to excuse moral shortcomings of a
kind usually connected with public af-
fairs. Nevertheless, in spite Of this
abuse, am sure that no man can well
play his part in our life who is not hon
estly American in heart, belief and in
stinct.

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: Gas for the
upper social world, the fashionable
world, it is much as it was when por-
trayed in 'Potiphar 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 trifle more American.
But wouldbe upper class based main
ly on wealth, on which it is the excep-
ton and not the rule for man to be
of any real account in the national life,
whether as politician, literary man,
or otherwise, is of necessity radically
defective and of little moment"
He is an intimate of Jacob Riis, the
tenement slums reformer of New 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 meaning of the word
"idle," or of "misapplication He has
often been called typical Ameri-
can" The phrase fits him.

Some of His Works.
These utterances reveal the man.
He has written much. The titles of
some of his best works are: Life of
Thomas Benton" "Life of Governor
Norris" "Ranch Life and thesHunting
Trail" "The Winning of the West"
"History of New York City," Essays
on Practical Politics." "The Wilder
ness Hunter" Hero Tales from Amer

and ten, only a.little more than third
of his period of maturity has passed.
And yet IA volumes stand to his credit.
And if we add the books in which his
| name appears as editor and contrib
utor, like "The History of the Royal
Navy" and the book of which he and
Mr.. Henry Cabot Lodge are joint az
thors, the total number of his books
is 81.
This would be remarkable in an
author whose sole occupation was
writing. 1t appears still more so in
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 years
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,
commander Of regiment in the war
with Spain, governor of New York and
vice president of the United States.
Furthermore, to appreciate fully
the size of Mr.. Roosevelt's product as
an author we must bear in mind two
more things-the character of his
work and the diversity Of his sub
iects. 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
great deal of searching among
archives and old manuscripts in state
and national government offices, in
libraries and in private collections.
His subjects include naval history,
military history, frontier history, mu-
nicipal history, sport, biography, BIZ
ology, politics and book reviews.

Mr.. Roosevelt has been married
twice. His first wife was Miss Alice

father of six children, ranging from
10 to years of age.
His domestic life is ideal. Whether
ensconced in winter quarters at AL
bany or New York, or at the famous
Roosevelt summer home at Oyster
Bay, ON Long Island, he is an indul-
gent father and romps with his chill

Roosevelt Enters Politics.
In 1881 Roosevelt, 20 years of are.
began his active life in New York. And
with him activity was activity. His
father had instilled into his mind a
contempt for the man who drifts
through an inactive life of comfortable
self-indulgence, achieving nothing.
He tried a plunge into New York
politics. In his city district was a re-
publican machine combination that
showed no disposition to recognize his
desire to become member of the leg
islature. He fought the machine and
defeated it.
In 1884 he appeared before the ma
ton. His health troubled him and he
sought a new life at Chimney Butte,
! OAK, where he grazed cattle and led
the life of cowboy. He became known
from Medora to Dickinson as the bold
est and bravest cattleman in the re-
gion. He did what the cowmen did.
He lived as they lived. He commanded
the respect even of the desperadoes,
His lungs expanded, his body devel-
oped and he gained reserve of health
that seems to have grown every year
since.
Turns to Literature.
He lost money on his cattle venture,
but he returned to New York strong
man physically, and he made the race
for mayor of that city. He was de-
feated, but he laughed. He understood
that the corrupt elements ofthe city
would not tolerate him, but he waited.
Meanwhile he wrote books-books or
hunting, books on western life, books
on eastern cities. His style in liter

Great Wealth

The great fortunes made in Mexico

over $500, 900 in silver bullion was sent
by the priests OF the old church TO Spain.
Whether the king OF Spain confscating
