restful day but a lively evening in
Omaha, and is sleeping at the Omaha
Club tonight, preparatory to departing

an automobile to the Omaha Field Cluo.
There he enjoyed a luncheon under
beautiful surroundings and made a
speech, in which he pointed out the IN

Colonel Roosevelt also spoke con-

referred to mob rule as bringing out

The Only Place to Live.
Mr.. Roosevelt's speech follows:

always have felt friendly to foreign na-
to show your love for your country, II was
necessary to be insulting to the people of
another country have feelng ba OF titinn ,sited
abroad even greater than l had before Wis
iting them. But | have come back feeling
that there is no place IN the world TO HEe
in except the United States
In the first place there is a chance mere
for the average man. such as mere Is no'
try where the average man, the man VINO
cannot expect to get to the top, has a
chance to lead his life with the success he
can achieve here. In the, second place
what is less important and still less I'M
portant ii seems to me, there is no place
in the world where the man VINO doeS se.
to the top has chance TO lead a life so
attractive and full OF interest in every way
as in the United States.
OF course If q man desires only to lead
life of pleasure, this is not a good country
for it There is no good country for 1t any
where. for the simple reason that OF al
dismal careers the most dismal, the most
empty. the least worth living from any
standpoint. is the career of the man VINO
seriously devotes himself as his sole OBJECT
to pleasure.
First. TO devote ones self to pleasure as
the sole object OF life is the sureSt way not
to get it. ANY man above that oIyi7SG e@WeSJ
pleasure and enjoyment. can find here. as
nowhere else In the world. an opportunlty
to help work out the great problems or tne
fut1Ire and any man who is worth his salt
ought to feel the most supreme pleasure
over the fact that he is given the oppor-
tunity 10 turn his hand to help work out
these problems.
Everywhere I went abroad l was inter
ested in finding that he leading statesmen
in the various countries We're watching US
and looking a what we were doing ana
were considering the methods we had tried
to solve the different problems before US
They said that they were interested IN US
because the things We were dong to-oaY
we're the things they would have to do to-
morrow or the day after You are the
pfoneers in solving social problems In
America and for the whole world II is for
YOU to solve these problems in the spirit
of democracy. I need not say that that
imposes a grave responsib bility on US.
Two other things impressed me. one
was that the ordinary man. the man TO
whom life was pretty hard, was looking
to US to realize the possibility of happi-
ness on earth. The man who suffers IN
Justice is looking toward this country as
the place in which he would be free from
the pressure of much injustice, as the
place where the ordinary man could have
a chance in life.

Nine Years at Albany.

Senator Wainwright has served two
years in the upper house of the Iegis-
latllre and seven years in the Assembly
He has been always a loyal Republican,
but with streak of progressiveness and
Independence which once or twice before
has made his denomination at the hands
of the Ward machine doubtful
The real point in the turning down OF
Senator Wainwright, so far as could be
learned yesterday. lies in the fact that
he declined to bolt the Republican eau
Gus on the Cobb direct nominations bill
along with Senator Meade. of Rochester;
Senator Grattan. of Albany, and other
"old guard" Republicans, who combined
with Tammany Hall in the fight against
Governor Hughes's pet reform.
He personally was opposed to direct
nominations. He voted against the Hin
man-Green bill and probably didn't be-
lieve any more in that principle when it
was presented in the form Of the Cobb
bill His friends say, though, that he
couldn't let his personal disbelief in the
wisdom OF that measure keep him out of
a Republican caucus which was likely
TO make it a caucus measure.

As Is the case with many other variable stars. the cause of these outbursts Is not known. but from a study of its light 1t is believed that the star is far older than our sun and rapidly ap- preaching the point of extinction. The star Rigel. on the other hand, as well as the magnificent Dog Stars at Dand E. are believed to be enormously expanded suns, which will not reach the condition of our own sun until after long ages have passed away.
