What President Roosevelt says

How the Book First Made Hit.
Charles Wagner. author of The Sim.

BY President Roosevelt author of The
Strenuous Life. Early i'll 1902 certain
weI known New York publishers
brought out very quietly a translation
Of The Simple Life. At first the
book did not attract much attention,
except among the literary few. but
among the literary few was President
Roosevelt On him the little volume
made such an impression that lie re-
ferred to it i'll one of his public adj
dresses as follows:
The other day | picked up little
book called The Simple Life written
by an -Alsatian, Charles Wagner. and
he preached such wholesome, sound
doctrine that | wish it could be used as
a tract throughout our country. To him
the whole problem Of our complex,
somewhat feverish modern life can be
solved only by getting men and women
to lead better lives He sees that the
permanence of liberty and democracy
depends upon i majority Of the people
being steadfast III that good, plain
morality which as a national attribute
comes only as the result of the slow
and painful labor Of centuries and
which can be squandered in a genera
ton by the thoughtless and vicious. He
breaches the doctrine of the superiority
Of the moral to the material, but he
insists. as we of this nation should al
ways insist, upon the Infinite superior
