under the caves of the barn cuckoo has built
and as sit at my desk the tiny of her
infant progeny looking the great unknown world
that lies before them At eventde the father and mother
will return with the food that they have gathered the
family and then loud and will rise their sweet carol
of praise and thankfuness.
So much for the we'll known signs of spring Now

lhls; 1T will be seen, is admirable thought
clothed IN words that cannot fail to impress the
commonplace mind and it should be remembered
that only commonplace people read about art and
culture.
Surely the lines of the literary man have fallen
upon pleasant days when he can earn a livelihood
and IN some cases a large income bv such com
positions as this ANY publisher will gladly give
the young beginner handsome sum for ESSAYS
New-York tribune., 1906-05-20

IF young writer's knew, as | do, the amount of
4 money that has been made by certain CannV
apostles of commonplace culture during the past
ten years, they would abandon all other forms of
literary endeavOr and preciptate themselves into
a field which, although extremely rich, is not,
thanks to the common sense and intelligence of
great part of the people, sufficiently large support
them all. | will therefore refrain from mentioning
figures, and merely say that almost any industrious
and sober young who will take himself seriously
enough make at least thirty-seven dollars a
week in his own home by putting up art and culture
III packages and vending them to the trade.
Almost any young writer carry this bust
which is safe and pleasant and needs capital
but the best results attained only through that
combination of enthusiasm ignorance, and credulity
which invariably commands such high respect
among those who plume themselves on their cul-
tured literary taste.
The purveyOr of art and culture must never set
about his work without having at hand material in
the shape of a few commonplace facts, or ideas or
aXioms from which to weave his essay. Let him,
for example, place the table before him slate
or pad on which is written the following:
THE Flowers That Bloom in the Spring
Art for Arts Sake"
skilful and experienced workman will find this
material ample for at least two months output;
but the young beginner who has not yet mastered
the art of drawing idea out thin as a Cobweb
and long the Atlantic cable, will do well to
knead a generous amount of dough into his first
literary baking. The following will serve as a fair
example of what may be accomplished bv pihng on
his material with lavish hands:
Spring has lasti From the window of nv
library the dark red of the sumach the rich
purple of the huceberres, and the blush of the
rosepetas The ground carPeed with the red leaves
New-York tribune., 1906-05-20

which are unstained by thought, novelty of express
sion, or literary value of any description and which
cannot possibly increase the of human knOvl-
edge by single iOta. Matter of this kind must OF
course be entirely free from the slightest
faint of humOr, or it will CorrOde when exposed 10
the air.
In addition to the profits derived from the serial
and book rights the by products of the art-andcul-
ture craft WILL the hands of adrOit manpulator
yield handsome subsidiary revenue; for these
essays cannot only be printed but also read or
recied in womenS colleges in the parlors of those
afflicted with Culturitis, and IN other places dOrni-
mated by humOrless Creduty. They can also be cut
up in convenient lengths for almanaCS. calendars
and illuminated cards. The Young writer should
to 1t that every bottle package containing his
distlatiOn of art and culture Is marked plainly
with his name, in order that 1t be DISTINGUISHED
from the hundred and one other brands now on
the market which are precisely like his own |

men in this branch of the literary trade will recite
their works on ferry-bOatS and pass the hat for

him long to learn that the Senate would not confirm
anyone who was not an organization So ne
made terms with the organization; but did not
allow it to control him.
"You must present good men, he said land
will appoint them; but must have choice Give
me the names of three good men for the office and
will select of them; but you must play fair with
me- If select one of them, he must be confirmed -
In that way he got along and made his appoint
ments. He would not appoint rascal, and if he
regarded as unit all of the three presented he would
demand another list He was able only occasionally
to appoint wholly disconnected with party
und r this system, but he was able to get the best
among the politicians, and these men, as well as a
large majority of the party, are his personal
adherents at the present time. He pursued in
dependent a course compatible with actually
achieving results without sacrifice of principle,
for Mr. Roosevelt believes in dealing with conditions
as he finds them in order to secure the best results
COmmOn-Sense in Reform Movements
IN times gone by and on account of the independent
spirit he has shown in political affairs Theodore
Roosevelt has often been invited 70 give aid or
COuntenance to different reform movements in his
city and State His refusal occasion to do so has
led to some criticism, especially when his refusal
was based on the ground that the movement was
ineXpedIent and no results could be accomplished
He never cared to lead or participate IN fOrlOrn-
hope movements which presented not even a fighting
chance to win and of which its projectors would say
that they did rot expect TO accomplish anything
except to show both OF the organizations that they
would not support ther of them
In politics. such Roosevelt participated in so
actively before he became a national and inter-
national figure he always believed that there was
a lesser of two evil and the absolutely impractical
side of any question the greatest of all evils con
sequently, he has never been an ideal independent
To those who wish 10 know whittier would ne
lead Theodore Roosevelt could only point 70 his
past as a guide to the future Young men should
get into politics. if not in one party then in another
and whichever party they JOIN they should work
for decencv and cleanness. They should work with
fear, and be willing TO sacrifice some of their
time for the good of the whole people. Men who
believe in good government should remember that
practical results can be accomplished only by going
to the place of starting and they must attend 10
duties of citizenship by going to the primaries and
the elections. They must be of the governing class
which Is the class that votes and attends political
meetings. They must know men, or men will not
be influenced or guided by them.
The President believes that there is great field
for the men of the country who desire to DESTROY
corruption and dishonesty and build up a higher
standard of political morality and secure better
administration of all governments.
New-York tribune., 1906-05-20
Results More Than Methods

d ESULTS have always stood for more in the
IN opinion of Mr. Roosevelt than methods When
he was Civil Service Commissioner he had to und ergo
the most severe criticism, because in he prose
cuted against a violatOr of the law he used poor
dupe and tool of the men higher up" in order TO
obtain the information he desired. The dupe was
allowed to go free, and the responsible party
punished. In his opinion nothing could be accom-
plished by seizing the tool while the hand that
guided it was not touched.
While Governor of New York he was severely
criticized for working with the Republican machine.
That is he appointed men belonging the Repub-
lcan organization, and he did with a perfect
understanding with the managers. 1t did not take

the practical side of military life. Probably this
is the best index of ROosevelts success; while
striving for the best he fOrgets the practical
and common-sensc side of every situation.
A Constructive Temper
TT is not the aim of Theodore Roosevelt to tear
down without rebuilding. He prefers the con
structiVe to the destructive. If old ruins must be
removed, he wants edihces in their stead II
old methods must be abandoned, something better
should be substituted His wish has been not only
to remove what is not desirable, but to replace 1T
with something better As Civil Service Com
missioner, Police Commissioner of New York, Colo
mel of the Rough Riders, and Governor OF New
York State, he always working Tor an I'M
provement of the service to wipe out the obsolete
which hampered and install the new which helped.
In all this he did not lay down rules and regula
tiOns or draw a Chalk-line which must be followed.
He did not proclaim code make chart.
When he found something that he believed could
be changed for the better, he made the change or
got something as near what he wanted as possible.
possible, he would try another and If 1T found
that no plan was practical to accomplish reform
of feature of the public service which he did
not approve, it not his policy to do away with
that feature; he made the best OF it.
So 1T IS with many things IN present public affairs
In a Government as complicated ours, with
national and State divisions, with sharp lines of
demarcaton between the executive, legislative and
judicial authority with diverse interests of States
and localities, it would be impossible for one man
to secure all he wanted in the way of Improvement
and reform. Though he might have the power TO
pull down. render nugatOry something in the
present system, he would not consider it to do
unless there something better at hand. To
outline a system of procedure that would take gen
eratiOnS to accomplish and which changed COndi-
tions might render useless before it could be put
into effect does not appeal to the practical mind
of Theodore Roosevelt.
New-York tribune., 1906-05-20
His Own Example

HIS resolution formed, he did two things: first
FL he sought out and became enrolled a men,
ber of the Republican County Club, he found
that no man in those days could vote at the Repub
lcan primaries unless he a member of this
organization. The Republican organization a
very close corporation. He also became member
of the State National Guard, because" he said,
wanted to be in position to protect my own
property and my country. Whether we were at
tackled from foe without, whether domestic
troubles within demanded the services of men, /
wanted to be in a position to bear arms to risk my
life for my country, or for the preservation of
institutions from the violence of mObs.
In that way he entered politics in New York
city, and he gave the closest attention to every
thing political and especially to those features
that are too often neglected work at the primaries
and the polls. He has peddled tickets all day at
the election booths in the days when were
permitted the polling places and afterward
he close any of his opponents. He looked
to the polling places on election day; he sought to
and, with those whom he had interested in the
work, accomplished a great deal because he worked
among the people and knew the people.
In giving attention to politics, he sacrificed a
great deal that many young in his class thought
necessary He did not join any of the fashionable
clubs of New York He IS now member only of
the Union League, recognized Republican club,
and the Century, which is a literary club. When
he became a member of the National Guard he did
seek to join a regiment merely because many of
his intimate friends belonged to it, or because he
regarded it as social organization; for he wanted
New-York tribune., 1906-05-20

and looking the practical side he believes that
a dozen honest, alert, and vigorous young men in
every precinct who will make it their business to
see that votes are honestly cast and counted, and
that the corruptionist who attempts to bribe voter
is promptly jaiIel, really do more than all the
statutes that can be enacted to insure honest cleo
tions 1t means more than theoretical discussions
around cafe tables and in dilettante political clubs
1t means downright work, the giving up OF even
ings for sometime previous to the election, and
attendance near the election booths on election
day.
When Theodore Roosevelt returned to New York
after being graduated at Harvard he decided to give
attention to politics.
oh" said some of his friends upon hearing his
man and your groom in politics. They and the
mechanics and 1aborers run politics"
Then by George! they are the governing class

to be of the governing class, and not of the gov
erned."

Warrensburg-Deputy Sheriff Louis
Geer has returned from Chicago, hay-
ing In charge Frank Sassaman, charg-
ed with the killing of Carl Miller, near
Holden, about two years ago. About
a year ago a woman giving her name
as Annie Bentley, a domestic, Of
Topeka, Kas., went to Holden and In
formed the officers that she and
Robert Sassaman, in November, the
year before, travelling from st. Louis
to Kansas City in a wagon, near War
rensburg we're overtaken by Carl MIL
Ter, an old man, who owned a good
wagon and team. They travelled in
company until one night they camped
near Holden, when Miller was killed
and his body sunk in an Abandoned
well.
The officers, on investigation, found
the body. An effort was made to
CAPTURE Sassaman in Kansas City, Kas,
but he evaded them. Nothing was
heard of him until officer Geer re-
ceived a letter several days ago, in
which a st. Louis woman stated where
Sassaman could be found in Chicago.
His arrest followed. Sassaman i'm
mediately acknowledged his identity,
and came back without reQuisition
papers. He acknowledge that he was
with Annie Bentley near Holden when
Miller was killed, but he asserts that
he didn't do 1t.
