Why Roosevelt?

The Roosevelt third-term move
ment has been attracting attention
and demanding consideration in in
creasing measure of late.
1t is the spontaneous outbreak of
an increasing opinion that no other
man is the right man for this ext
gency in the national history. Say
ing this is not criticising any other
man who aspires or whose friends
aspire for him to succeed to the
Presidency.
Secretary Straus, at Boston, told
what was in the mind of the mass
of American people who want an
other term Of Roosevelt. He stated
il in the right words. He said:
Let us thank God that there sits in
the White House a man who possesses
a mind enriched with Il historian S
knowledge of the past, united with a
statesman's forecast Of the future-who
has the moral courage Of a Lincoln 10

Philanthropy Over Seas.

For years Nathan Straus, brother
to the present Secretary of Com
merce and Labor, has been known
as a philanthropist. 4 multi-mil-
lionaire. he spends his money on
folks, instead of on horses, dogs,
and cats. He thinks that the poor
have rights which the rich should
respect, and needs that the fortu-
nate should supply.
He believes IN giving bread 10 men
and milk to babes. Not the milk
that runs from hose connected
with the hydrant. nor that dipped
out of the creek with an honest
gourd, nor that which, having
auantum suficit of the tactical es-
sence, has been drawn by the dirty
fingers of an unclean mixer, or ex-
posed to the germ-laden air of an
unsanitary cupboard In brief, Mr..
Straus wants the large annual crop
of babies nourished on the richest
milk of healthful cows.
Not wishing America 10 have all
good things, he has carried his idea
and his charity across the seas. He
has established a pasteurizing milk
plant in the venerable city of Heidel-
berg. Germany, for which the Grand
Duchess of Baden publicly thanked
him. He has offered to provide a
similar plant for any municipality
that viii agree TO support it, and
supply the milk free TO babes.
Mr.. Straus has now extended his
benefcence 20 England, and has en-
ployed to take charge of the move
