Mr.. Roosevelt's reception surpassed in

DRY of the oldest Oxonian.
In his lecture Col. Roosevelt said:
Rome fell by attack from without,
only because the ills within her own
borders had grown incurable. What is
true of your country, my hearers, Is
true OF my own; while we should be
vigilant against foes from without, yet
we need never really fear them SO long
as we safeguard ourselves against the
enemies within our OWL households;
and these enemies are u own pas
sions and follies. Free peoples can
escape being mastered by others only
by being able to master themselves

British Isles, alike, need ever to keep
in mind that among the many qualities
indispensable to the success of a great
democracy, and second only to a high

''The precise form of government,
democratic or otherwise, is the In
strument, the tool, with which we
work. 1t is important to have a good
tool. But, even if it is the best posi-
BILE, it is only a tool. No implement
can ever take the place of the guiding
intelligence that yields it. A very
bad tool will ruin the works Of the
best craftsman; but a good tool in bad

"The growth in luxury, In love OF

TEDDY COMING HOME
LAST DAY IN ENGLAND TRAMP
THROUGH WOODS.
Reaches New York June "Trip Most
Memorable Every Taken by a Git
izen.

Southampton.-Theodore Roosevelt,
home-bound, sailed on the Hamburg
American line steamer Kaiserin Au-
guste Victoria shortly after noon FRI
day. The steamer is due at quaran-
tine, New York, on the night Of June
IL, but the former president will not
land In New York until the following
morning.
When the Kaiserin Auguste Victoria
turned her prov westward this after
noon Mr.. Roosevelt found himself on
the final lap of what in many respects
has been the most remarkable trip ac-
complished by a private citizen. At
the head of the Smithsonian African
scientific expedition, the former chief
executive of the United States sailed
on the steamer Hamburg from New
York March %, 1909. Arriving at Ma
pies. he transferred to the steamer Ad-
miral and continued his journey, stop
| ping at Messina, where he met King
Victor Emmanuel of Italy. He arrived
at Mombassa on April 81, and soon af-
forwards the notable hunting expedi-
tion was begun, resulting in an unpre-
cedented collection of African trophies.
On March IA Mr.. Roosevelt emerged
from the jungle, arriving at Khartoum,
where he met Mrs. Roosevelt and their
daughter Ethel.
Following the hunt, Mr.. Roosevelt
was occupied with a series of speeches
that have excited lively interest
throughout the world. Also at this
time was begun a programme of enter
tainments in his honor such as had
perhaps never before been arranged
for one who had retired to private life.
rule and talked plainly to the nation
alists.
Then followed the exchanges with
the Vatican, which resulted in his
abandonment of the requested audi
ence with the Pope. At Paris he de-
livered an address at the Sorbonne. At
Christiana he addressed the Nobel
prize committee. He spoke before
royalty at Berlin and was a guest of
Emperor William. He went to Lon
don as special American ambassador
at the royal funeral.
In spite of the curtailment of his
programme at the British capital on
account of King Edwards death, il
was at Guild Hall in London that he
made the speech that attracted more
discussion than any of the others of
his addresses abroad. Here, touching
or British rule in Egypt, he mildly
criticised what he conceived to be a
tendency to leniency. not justified by
the present political conditions of the
African dependency.
His final day in England was spent
with Sir Edward Grey, foreign secre'
tary. The two tramped for hours
through New forest, the ancient royal
hunting grounds.
1t is known only that the two reach
ed the hotel Thursday night spattered
with mud and soaked to the skin. To
a friend Mr.. Roosevelt, before sailing,
said: "My day in New forest with Sir
Edward Grey was the browning expe'
rience of the whole three months"
