pOOsEyELTs HOMECOMING

0OtUC1uG4b WILL Wills ASSAS -
THE TRANSCRIPT Mr.. Roosevelt
arrives il New York City to re
ceive at the hands of his OWL
countrymen the last of a mar
vellous series of kingly audiences
and greetings, of worshipful ap
plause, compliments and ovations
thus finishing what is probably
the most astonishing0voyage Of
adventure, travel and triumph
which history records.
The press dispatches read
something like stories from the
age of fable when heroes and
demi-gods lived and conquered
q siegfried or a Hercules per
formed their feats of marvel
Truly q remarkable journey by
a remarkable man. From Khar'
toum to London every way g
royal progress. Nothing ap'
preaching the demonstrative re-
ceptions given MIR. Roosevelt
were paid Seward, Sherman OF
Grant upon the occasions of their
globe.girdling travels some years
since.
Dissect him as you please, Mr..
Roosevelt is a phenomenon-.some
say q lusus naturse, a freak-cer-
tainly an extraordinary excep-
ton to the mass of humanity
even to what we call great men.
His whole career is unusual,
bizarre, singular, outre, and
needs other than common Ian
guage, ordinary phrases and
usual epithets to portray it. In
respect Of his personality he may
almost fairly be styled ferocious
--of which his everlasting grim
dental display is a proof. In re-
spect of his methods, he may
often be styled terrifc-his ut.
terance often explosive, his
speeches verbal bombs b ellis.
His energy physical and mental,
is amazing-comparable to that
of q battery of boilers making
about q dozen times as much
steam as an ordinarily active
mortal would require, or indeed,
could get, and yet he gets rid of it
ell.
His self.confidence is as bound.
less as it is unique. He has at.
tackled more big problems, do
mestic and foreign, than the II
lsbors of Hercules, and probably
had he lived in the dawn-time Of
the human race, his real and fan
cied exploits would have come
down to us embalmed in myth
and legend, like those of a The
seus or a st. Patrick.
One is tempted to think that
his sublime egotism would in an
earlier civilization have made
him essay the role of q Mahomet;
or his enthusiasm for reform and
morals have driven him forth like
another Peter, the Hermit, to
arouse the nations, or sent him
like some John the Baptist pro.
claiming righteousness to all the
world.
He is a living exponent of the
truth Of the adage of Mirabeau
prescribing for the orator,
'l'audace, to;our l'audace," su-
dacity, always audacity." Then
coupled with this audacity Mr..
Roosevelt has q physical and
moral courage to match, and with
al the rest a something that
seems to suggest personal mag
netism, not to say downright
hypnOtism.
Add TO it all that he is q con.
summate politician-knows how
70 get and keep himself in the
public eye-ss q limelighter is a
past master, and you truly have a
unique and rare character.
