Roosevelt believes in the "strenuous
life" for individuals and for nations
He told the New York State Assembly
Of Mothers:
THE boy Who vii not fight Is not
worth bIs salt. He will BE- Of no use In
life and is a coward"
He told the cadets at West Point:
The good colder should not only be
willing to fight, but he should be anx-
iorz to fight
In another speech he said:
We need a far larger army than We
now have, and it needs TO be trained on
far larger scale than it has been
trained on for the last quarter Of
century"
He has the courage OF his convictions.
His administration thug far has cost
3211 go, 500 more than Mckinley's. Nc
KinIey carried the country through the
war with Spain. while Roosevelt has
been conducting affaira in time OF

The cost Of the army has increased
in the last eight years from S23 ,000. 900
to more than $4,000, 900. and the fig

milliong of dollars In fighting the Fill
pinos and administering their affairs
5000, 100000 Is believed to be the most
reliable estimate.
The explanation Of all this is that we
have a President whose methods and
Ideals are those Of military Europe.

be the tramp of horses and the silent.
/ rigid and upturned face. II the pres
sure lis great, the material to resist II
must be granite and IRON"
I Here are pictures OF the President

Are you for the empire or the re-
