is I. R. READY FOR ANOTHER FOUR YEARS p
Pinchot and Garfield EIated
When Promise TO Aid Re-
forms Is Made.

To return to our cynical newspaper
friend He was sure that every re-
mark with which the returned traveller
greeted the committee as it filed past
him was studied, that each movement
was conscious pose, and, while he
did not say it, he plainly intimated
that the former president was plan
ming return to the White House in
1912. Another scribe seemed to share
these views.
Perhaps it was a half hour later that
both men took note of boat laden
with human freight, with every hui
man atom making some sort of joyous
noise. There were no silk bats or
frock coats on this boat but there
was welcome written over every face
welcome without any official tang or
red evidently workingmen and
John Smiths and O'Donnells and La
yinskys that go to make up the Amer
lean people.
The men of the pencil studied that
boat, and one of them said musingly:
There is the secret of Roosevelt. He
has captured the heart of the common
people,
Thereupon l did a little studying my
self, and my musings ran in this wise:
Why has he captured the heart of the
people? Americans are not fools,
They look below the surface. They
had the discernment to see Lincoln
when the leaders could not see him.
Is not their confidence in Roosevelt
proof that they think him sincere? Is
1t not because they believe he has
fought their battles and will devote
his life to fighting their battles in fu-
ture that they welcome him as they
have. welcomed no other man living
or dead?

- N his return to his native land
q Theodore Roosevelt said he was
ready to devote his life to help
ing solve the problems of de-
mocracy-that any man who had been
president of the United States was the
debtor of the American people. Be
yond this he would have nothing to
say on politics for two months.
Aside from the enthusiasm, the
Ehrieking whistles, the booming guns,
the parades and the receptions, that
was the significant feature of his re-
turn.
What does it mean? Just after these
sentences were uttered l saw Clifford
Pinchot and James r. Garfield leave
the grand stand with highly elated
air. They were nodding their heads
and were evidently joyous. Beside me
on the grand stand / heard young
man say, This means third term"
Friend" Denies Third Term.
A high army officer standing in front
of us turned and said that he person
ally knew it did not mean third
term. He emphasized the word
Know"
In view of these differences Of opin-
ion perhaps l may be permitted to
voice my own idea of the incident,
likewise Of the welcome home to Theo-
dore Roosevelt. Inasmuch as this is
to be my own personal story, / will
endeavor to cast aside every precon-
eeived notion, every shred of partisan
bias, and give one mans honest first
hand impressions.
1t was my good fortune to have
place on the Androscoggin, the govern
ment revenue cutter that was boarded
by Colonel Roosevelt after he greet
ed his family on the Manhattan
and on which he remained during
the naval parade and until he land
ed at the Battery. On the Androscog-
gin were the official reception COM
mittee appointed by Mayor Gaynor,
the mayor himself, several governors
OF states and dozen newspaper men,
perhaps 300 in all.

Was Pinchot a Mouthpiece 2


Then remembered Clifford Pin
chot's speech at St. Paul, with its con-
stantly reiterated demand that the spe-
cial interests be driven out Of politics,
including grafters, trusts, bribers,
franchise grabbers, privilege seekers
all the brood of the thieves in the tenn
ple
Where did Pinchot get his political
ideas in this speech that was his first
public utterance after his interview
with Roosevelt in Italy? Was he only
echoing the sentiments and intentions
of his former chief? Why this long
Roosevelt silence on political question:
that has lasted all through the Euro
pean tour and is to last two months
beyond it? Is it not significant? The
same forces against which he contend
ed are still dominant in the country.
The impression was heightened by
the speech at the Battery. Here again
was fortunate and was near enough
to hear him. Certainly this man tell
ing of his debt to the American
people and dedicating his life to the
solution Of the problems of free gov
eminent meant what he said.
If l can judge men, there was no
note of self seeking in his tones. He
does owe this to his country, as all the
rest of us do, but he particularly, be-
cause he has been more honored. May
he not be an agent of good even as
others have been? Certainly our need
is great, and has q nation ever asked
in vain? His most sincere friends say
he will not accept a third term. But
may he not devote his life to what he
considers the good Of his country and
of mankind without thought Of place?
My own impression is that, back of
all his mannerisms, Roosevelt sincere
ly desires to serve popular government,
progress and righteousness; that he
wants to drive the special interests out
of politics; that he is not candidate
for the presidency, but feels himself
obligated to serve his country in any
proper way that it calls upon him,
that he may break with President Taft,
at least on conservation, and that there
is great political upheaval ahead In
which he will play a part and to the
bringing of which he will contribute.
However these things may be, it is
good to have him with usgood to feel
his Astounding joy in life.

in saying that no American citizen had
ever had such welcome before.
The parade signal was hoisted, and
one by one the vessels swung into the

up the Hudson and back ran the naval

their president and was the most hon
ored of their countrymen.
TO my own mind the most dramatic
incidents of the naval parade occurred
at the turning at Fourteenth street,
again when the Roosevelt neighbors
came alongside at the Battery and
humber incident that was perhaps the
most significant of all. 1t is hard to
determine just what psychological ele-
ment entered into the greeting at the
turn, but whatever it was every one
felt 1t. AS the downward journey was
begun every whistle broke loose. These
belonged not only to the vessels that
formed the parade, but to scores or
others in the river and to the build
ings that rose tier on tier on Manhat-
ten Island and the Jersey shore.
Colonel Roosevelt stood alone on the
bridge as the parading boats swept
by. He was visibly affected, as was
| everyone aboard the vessel. Even a.
cynical newspaper man who had criti-
cised his every attitude as a pose was
silenced. There was no pose in the
emotion visibly written on the home
coming travellers face. / confess that
my own eyes were not in the best
condition to observe at that particular
moment, but am sure there was a
mist in the optics of the lone figure
aloft as there were in those of many
roundabout who blinked at their tears
and were not ashamed.
Neighbors In Abundance.
The boat of the Roosevelt neighbors
was banked on every deck and on
every roof. ! ! think IL there had been
another human being on that craft he
would have fallen overheard from sheer
physical necessity. And every man,
woman and child was cheering. II
anybody was left In Oyster Bay the
looks OF that boat were deceiving. So
close did 1t come that there seemed
danger Of collision. A moment later
the Androscoggin was humping against
the Battery pier and the band was
playing "Home. Sweet Home"

GEORGETOWN READY
TO TACKLE CAROLINA
Classic Gridiron Battle Will Be
Played Tomorrow on
Hilltop Field.

With half of a very difficult schedule
out of the way the Blue and Gray foot
ball eleven said by many 10 be the
speediest ever seen on a local gridiron,
will take on as opponents tomorrow after
noon its ancient rivals from the Uni
versity Of North Carolina. The contest
will come off on the heights and Is Sched-
uled to start promptly at " O'Clock In
order to allow plenty Of time for its COM
pletion before darkness falls.
In past years this encounter has always
been one OF the most prominent on the
Georgetown schedule and In every in
stance that the two elevens have clashed
a red-hot scrap for the laureis Of victory
has taken place. Two years ago the team
from the south succeeded In making a
scoreless tie with the locals, while last
fall Georgetown was defeated by sin
gle touchdown In game replete with
squabbleS The clOSeneSS of these bat
ties OF the past has served to make the
players on both aggregations anxious for
victory and hence there Is certain to be
every effort possible put forth by those
who take part. The outcome will also
play a prominent part in the deciding OF
the South Atlantic gridiron championship.
! The Hilltoppers will go into the battle
with a greatly shifted lineup. Walsh is
| to be used some at quarterback and Sit
| terding will be utilized at one of the line
extremes. AS Hegarty Is suffering from
| a tardy attack of the stomach epidemic
which created such furore week ago

toys. This, however. will not be as Sc
we're a handicap as it would seem. since
