PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
WINS A BIG PRIZE

his management II obtained recognition
from all civilized governments. and Is
now as much a part Of the service as
the military corps.
n was fitting that Frederick Passy
should share the peace prize with sucn
a man Passy is the founder or the IN
ternatiOnal Peace League and secretary
OF the Society of the Friends OF Peace
His life has been devoted TO opposing
warfare and he has written many IA
nous papers on its barbaTity and USE
lessness.
II Is significant that in planning his
rewards for the worlds benefactors, Al
fred Noble had thought only OF the
peaceful arts. He prepared no laureis
for military brOws. Indeed, he empha-
sized his hatred of the soldiers calling
by remembering the men OF peace those
who work 20 lessen the horrors of war,
and even TO abolish 1t altogether.
Wealth Won Making Dynamite.
It Is significant because the wealth
that Nobel left came 10 him mainly
through his invention of the most ter,
rible explosive known 10 modern war
fare-dynamite.
This discovery was partly the result
OF an accident In 1855 while expert
menting with nitro-glycerine. he caused
some discarded material to be dumped
on a sand pile preparatory TO its re-
moval later. During the night the IL
quid nitro o-glycerine leaked through and
mixed with the sand. when Noble came
10 examine the mixture next day he
found that chance had revealed 10 him
the combination that he had been Valh~
~ searching for for twelve years The
result was dynamite.
I'm 1898. when President Roosevelt was
leading his famous Rough Riders mp
San Juan hill. sAe heirs-at-law were
C0utesting the will by which Nobel had
left his fortune for the advancement OF
tEe arts and sciences and for the promo
ton OF peace. Following this the nrst
distribution was made, and men VINO mad
devoted their entire lives 20 peace were
awarded the prize.
Presidents Position Unique.
President Roosevelt occupies a unique
position In this respect, and to him is due
all the more honor and credit Soldier
or citizen. ne has always brought credit
upon himself and his country. When
duty called he drew his sword, and when
the dove Of peace was IN the air he was
the first to grasp the opportunity, and
the only ruler IN the world whose posi-
ton made it possible 20 call a halt 10
the awful slaughter Of Japs and Rus
SLAMS.
Peace hath her victories no less re-
nO.vned than war and to Theodore
Roosevelt belongs the honor Of having
achieved one OF the greatest victories or
! modern times.
