Theodore Roosevelt is the most
fascinating and powerful public man
living on earth today" Such was the
characterization given the nations
executive by Governor Henry Buchtel
OF Colorado in his address Sunday af-
ternoon before an audience numbering
$500 at the Richmond chautauqua.
The former pastor of Grace NJ E.
church here, whose election to the
governorship of Colorado has attract
ed countrywide attention, dwelt en-
acter and work. His subject was
Theodore Roose velt' but many
thought that Gov. Buchtel would take
opportunity to deviate and tell of his
own experiences. Though he did not,
the address was none the less inter
esting and was given the closest at
tention. There was frequent applause
and an outburst at the close.
From the spirit of the chautauqua
audience Sunday, the recent financial
disturbances and efforts of paid news
papers to distort these into panicky
results of Roosevelt's policy, Rich
mond is still with the president. If
there had been any wavering however
the doubling Thomases would have
received new strength from the gov
ernor's lecture. There is no more fit
ting way to describe Gov Bucltel's
effort than to say that he lauded the
nations chief to the skies.
United North and South.
Governor Buchtel made but one ref
erence to his former residence in
Richmond. 1t was in speaking of Gar
fields death. He said that when Gar
field passed to a martyrs grave it
proved the bond that reunited the
North and South. At that time he
said he was living here and he touch
ed upon the meeting held then in the
various churches.
Governor Buchtel said in part: "The
study of any great man cannot help
but be beneficial and especially in
the study of such a character as Theo-
dore Roosevelt.
Roosevelt is the most fascinating
anu puNeTlut pup1c man uVlnS on
earth today. The newspapers of Ger
many laud him as the greatest ruler
on earth and in so doing their manner
is not offensive to the emperor. The
English press likewise praises our ru-
Ter and in it they do not reflect on
their own king. With this opinion
abroad. the American people have am
pie foundation for their belief that
Roosevelt is the greatest man of mod
ern times.
..Roosevelt's ancestry was such as
to fit him for the life to which he was
dy and cultured. With one part |
Dutch in his makeup. one part Huge I
