is not by preaching Yiniictiveness and
hatred, but by leading your citizens up
TO prosperity through good citizenship"

Washington could not stop them. Bishop
Dunston did not try TO.
He thanked the colonel and .old him
right TO his face that il he ever desired
any further promOtion-as If that We're

race. And everybody sang America"
Luncheon at the National Arts Club
consumed about an hour Of the coloneTs
time to-day. He scrambled into his mo-
tor car and returned to the Office for a
short time. but Lawrence Abbott soon
came to announce that they had better

Roots for Open country.
The ceremony was one that Col RoOse-
welt has gone through q good many times
before. He spoke briefly. He rooted FOR
an open country life. and said that ev-
erything tending to spread the population
as 1t becomes congested in the great
cities. counts for Just so much more in
the development of our civic life.

A few aeroplane enthusiasts did every
thing they could to persuade Mr.. Roose-

Welt discuss politics to-day. He was be-

break between himself and President
Taft. but the colonel was silent on that
topic. II was scarcely necessary for him
TO admit the truth of the oyster Bay

questioned.

so for some time When they asked him

II, because he IS not DESTROYS Of bucking
the administration yet. and his appear
ance upon the floor would mean that very
thing.
