Is Roosevelt InevItabIe7

This question is the title of an I'M
usual effort to interpret the character
and purpose OF Theodore Roosevelt in
the August number of Hampton's maya
zine by Pudson c. Welliver writer who
has been closely Identified with the in
surgent movement from its inception.
Welliver at the outset remarks that to-
day 1.-THE country seems almost ready to
abdicate its self governing prerogatiVe
In favor of Roosevelt" and that If the
enthusiasm of the moment is an index
of the public mind Roosevelt holds an as
tendency "such as no other man in our
history has held" Conceding the amaz-
ing versatility of the man, the writer
draws In bold lines a charcoal sketch Of
his subject as follows:
Expert in nothing, a dilletante at ev-
erything, he demolishes the notion that
success must be reached by specializing
and concentrating Sailor enough to be
useful as assistant secretary OF the navy,
he was soldier enough to monopolize the
glory OF our three months war with
Spain. Strong enough to refuse the vice
presidency's honorable obscurity, he was
weak enough to accept 1t, and lucky
enough to stumble upstairs to the presi-
dency. Radical enough to command the
antimonopoly sentiment, he was devious
enough to call successfully upon e. H.
Hartman to raise him an emergency
campaign fund-and skillful enough when
exposed to get out OF 1t without
scratch. Parrying a snub from the pope
and an invitation from the Methodists
he captures Protestants and Catholics
alike. Versatile, devious, artful, para
doxical, yes. A dynamo OF energy. He
commands four or five languages and
finds time to read books in all OF them
He knows America, its history, its peo-
pie. He radiates personality. individu-
ality, magnetism. He is more like
Julius Caesar than any other man In
history, Caesar was the first self-glorify-
ing press agent; Roosevelt is the great
est. . He captures other men who
have the mere specializing ability and
makes them do that work for him. .
Roosevelt's strong hold on the public lies
in his humor." Welliver credits Roose-
welt also with a public hold on the moral
side, and with being a master OF gem
eralization in common places. He calls
him a politician and supreme agita-
tor" The difference between insurgency
and Rooseveltism is that in the latter
there is room for the Roots. Aldriches
Cannons and Dalzells, whereas the for
mer would kick them out, but Roosevelt
would use and subordinate them Welli-
Yer finds that insurgency is not partisan
His final conclusion is that unless Roose-
4 welt openely and earnestly co-operates
with the insurgents. 1t is by no means
certain that he will again be nominated
and elected to the presidency.

WEST DOVER.
The West Dover Cemetery.

For some time previous to this writing
the people of West Dover were aware
that the cemetery where many of the
townspeople of former days are laid to
rest was being sadly neglected and was in
a very bad condition They therefore
called a meeting of the citizens TO talk
over ways by which they could secure
funds to beautfy and improve the
grounds. The meeting was held oct. 16,
1907. subscription paper was circulated
and letters were written to persons having
friends buried in the cemetery. A petit
ton was acted upon oct G. 1908, for
highway to the cemetery which was put
in good condition for about $50. A small
piece of land was bought at the entrance
to accommodate teams passing in and out
Articles of association were filed and
charter was granted Jan. 6, 1909 A dec
laration of purpose and bylaws were
drawn and approved by charter members
which have been printed in pamphlet
form and will be sent to all having
friends buried in the cemetery The
first meeting for the election of officers
was held June 10, 1909. The regular an
nual meeting is the first Saturday In
December each year.
The officers of the association are:
President, J. A. Davis; vice pres, ]. J..
Snow; directors, S. L. Hill, b. B. Collins,
L. j. Sylvester; auditor, w. F. Jones.
The directors chose Leon G. Boyle treas

has greatly improved the looks of the
grounds. and it is hoped the good work
may continue. The boundary walls have
been relaid, the brush has been cut,
many stones have been reset, lots graded
etc. There has been expended about

the work which has been begun, and IL
is hoped that all who have friends buried
there may donate enough to place the
cemetery in good condition and keep II
