THE MAN WE THOUGHT HE WAS.
From Harpcr's Weekly.

From Harpcr's Weekly.
The most effective words ever
written by Theodore Roosevelt were
these penned on election night. de-
cllning reorganization, We say "ef.
f~ectivc" a~dvisedly. To the hundreds
OF thousands who had voted on faith
these words bore the definite assur.
ance that their confidence was not
misplaced. That Mr.. Roosevelt had
determined upon this course was well
known TO his friends. but with com.
mendable pride he withheld tho an
n0uneement until a time when by no
possibility could II be construed as
a bid for political support. We can
not say that we approve Of his posi-
tion. for the reason that circum.
stances might arise which would put
II in fiat opposition TO the welfare
OF the country and the desires OF the
people. nor Ia these times do we at.
tach much importance even 10 tho
wholly misunderstood two-term ira
dition But II IL was 10 be done. that
was the time 10 do II. II, In conse.
guence, anybody ever had a freer
hand 10 write his name full and large
upon the pages Of history, We cannot
recall his name, But the main point
Is that all men now know that the
Theodore Roosevelt whom they voted
for il the Theodore Roosevelt they
he was.
We wholly agree with the above.
AZ the time that Parker, for political
made the statement that he
would not again accept the nomlna-
ton for president, we expressed the
view that no man had a right to say
what he would or would not do In
the matter Of accepting a nomination
for the highest office In the gift OF
the people. While we admire Roose-
vclts nobility in postponing his dc.
'laration until II could NOT influence
votes. wo do not approve OF IT. The

chair. But should the
line come In the history OF this coun.
ny when some political or national

sice from this great man, he would
rave no more right to refuse their
all than did Cinclnnatus OF old have
o refuse to leave his pillow al the !

In conclusion one thought more.
The child Of faith in God is love FOR
his children, II fellowmen, And
love Is the sweetest. the hottest thing
on earth. IL there were nothing else
In this world, besides love, to make
life worth living, II alone would be
sufficient TO claim our eternal graft.

period or other, the life of every hu.
man being True, we all nave our

OF burden. of worry,-we all, | sup.
pose. have our share' But IS there
n within the reach Of my voice. one
In this great world, who has not had
moments when he looked into the
eyes Of one he loved, moments when
he felt the touch Of a hand, moments
when he heard the music OF a voice,
moments that repaid him for years
OF trouble and tribulation, moments |
for which he should feet grateful,
were he to live a thousand years.
But, friends, not alone for love re-
ceived should we feel grateful; even
more thankful ough; we to feel for
the power of giving love. There is, in
truth, infinitely more Joy In giving
than there Is in receiving. To conse
crate ourselves to the veal of our fel.
lowmen, to lead tho errvng to the
right path. to bring light to those in
darkness. to loosen the bonds OF the
enslaved, to aid those ready to faint
and fall, to cheer the depressed, to
comfort the Borrowing. to uplift the
weary to feed the hungry, TO clothe
naked.-ah. what bliss supreme is
there In these kindly mi~nistrations,
and what inexpressible h%appiness!
And all this bliss and happiness We
are capable of experiencing because

pithily expresses Il, There are more
things In heaven and earth than are

are phenomena, so subtle and ETHEREAL,
that even the most incisive logic

Aud there Is another reason for
being grateful. For NOT only can we
see or hear or feel or taste or smell
all these wonderful things, we can
study them. God has endowed u,
with intellect, by means OF which We
are enabled 10 penetrate beneath the
surface OF the phenomena and CON.
prehend their true inwardness. And
how much. how infinitely much, is
there IN this vast universe 10 search
out and inquire into. The analysis
of so small a thing as a grass blade
or a leaf Is pregnant with startling
revelations and alluring mysteries.
How much more so are the innumera
bic creations Of aweinspirlng gran.
deur that surround us everywhere.
Wherever you look ana Whichever
way you turn, you are urged on to
delve In mysteries sublime. The
