ROOSEVELT
TOMORROW
Big Hunt Is Finished, and the PreS-
dent of the United States
will Sunday in GIeRwOOd
Springs
He WILL GREET OUR CITIZENS

The great hunt of President Roose-
welt is over and before these words
reach the readers of the Post, the
President will be in Glenwood par-
taking of our wondrous baths and
the sumptuous accommodations of the
Hotel Colorado The week in camp
has been devoid of especial interest,
:he weather conditions being such AS
to render the chase far from encour-
aging Nevertheless the president is
getting the full measure of enjoyment
from his outing and whether follow
ing the hounds or remaining in the
pine covered camp he makes the most
of the conditions and is in the best of
health and has expressed his regret
that the trip which has contiib buted so
much to his pleasure must close so
soon for it seems to him but vester-
day since he withdrew from the world
and sought the secluson of the noun
tain fastnesses in the Divide creek
section. At last accounts ten bears
and two bobcats had been baeged by
the presidential party and the sport
incident to such splendid success is
regarded by the president as ample
recompense for the time given to the
outing
AT Liberty school house last Sunday
was witnessed Il most wonderful scene
wonderful because absolutely with
ont precedent or semblance of prece-
dent. The president of the United
States in rough hunting garb sat on
the little platform surrounded by
rancnmen and rough cowboys and
their families and during the relig-
ious service led by the country preach
er the chief executive joined with the
common people in the hymns of praise
and responded to the practical lessons
of the sermon with hearty amens.
Then addressing the plain country
folk in plain but vigorous style while
the very hills reverberated with the
shouts of the outdoor audience, it
seemed that no president or ruler
was ever so near to his people as was
Roosevelt on Sunday. April 30, 1905.
The sermon of the Rev. Horace
Mann, of Rifle, has been read by the
majority of our readers and has
brought the reverend gentleman into
sudden and favorable rrominence.
The epigrams of the president are
we'll worth repeating and here are
some of them:
Friends and neighbors-It all
seems real to have chance to come
here today and say few words to
you. For number of years | have
lived where my neighbors were just
such good people as these whom see
here before me. 1t is but true for me
to say then that | feel thoroughly mt
home with you. In the few words
which l am going to say, | wish to
take as illustrations some examples
from the Grand Army of the Republic
Everywhere | 90 in the West | am
greeted by those noble men, who
showed in the times that tried mems
souls the stuff that was in them -
The president then referred to his
sojourn in the mountains as follows:
II cannot say how much / have
enjoyed my stay here. Not only have
! been treated middling well by the
bears, which treatment has not been
1eciprocated by me, but the people
nave fairly outdone themselves in
their hospitality. ! have enjoyed so
much seeing the growth and prosper
ity of your community.
ITO be a decent citizen, man needs
perseverance and common
sense that saving grace and courage
to stand up for what is right. l do
not like a timid good man-the man
VINO, when evil confronts him, SAYS.
How dreadful and then runs
away.
Here the president poured broad
side into dishonesty, especially that
form which in business life is termed
'smartness
Il have the heartiest contempt for
smartness unaccompanied by moral
sense, - he said. "It is curse to
any community, and the man guilty
of it the man who uses natural gifts
to swindle another-is disgrace to
his community and shame to him.
self. :"
In conclusion he said.
In civil life there are few heroes,
and the man who is a hero does not
