perhaps we shall have to fall back on
the colonel
What about the pessimists who pre-
dicted that the colonel was certain to
get African fever or the sleeping sick
ness and those other Wall street proph-
cts who hoped that every lion would
do it's duty? They are all talking
small now. Did they imagine that any
thing in Africa could withstand the
Roosevelt luck? What good are Wall
street prophets anyway? Most Of
them cannot even predict the future
movements of stocks and so have to
depend on sure thing game Of work
ing the lambs for commissions. "a
prophet is not without honor save in
his own country" was not spoken of
the Wall street brand of soothsayer.
He is without honor anywhere under
the sun.
Wall street is not celebrating the re-
turn of the colonel. That is one rea-
son why the rest of the country is
celebrating. Possibly the bulls and
bears fear that Roosevelt is coming
back to start another hunt in the finan-
cial jungle. On the way to Khartum
he dropped one significant remark to
the effect that he had harder work
ahead than that done in Africa. Just
what is that harder work to be? Not
writing evidently, for he finished his
African book before his return to civ
1lization. Possibly the big trust game
has reason for being apprehensive.

Resume of the Former Presi.
dents Outing In the African
JungIes What His Hunting and
Exploring Expedition Has Done
By JAMES A. EDGERTON.
\HEODORE ROOSEVELT.

"dGODOhE ROOSEV ELI, 1Of-
mer president, faunal natural
IL list, rough rider and private cit
izen, is on his way back TO pub:
lfcity and home. After a year as a
mighty hunter he now changes his role
on the world stage and becomes a col
1ege lecturer. When through playing
that part he will take up-who knows
what? 1t is safe to say that, whatever
the next stunt he tackles, it will be
interesting. One Of the refreshing
things about Roosevelt is that, let the
game be what it will, he plays it for
all that is in him. Whether it be
ranching, hunting, soldering, writing
or lecturing; whether it be as member
of assembly, candidate for mayor, po-
lice commissioner, assistant secretary
of the navy, colonel, governor, vice
president or president; whether it be
in the character of speaker, editor, au-
thor or moral evangelist, he puts all of
himself into whatever he does. He
talked of hitting the line hard before
he went into Africa; he talked Of hit
ting the line hard when he emerged.
From the few scraps of his CONVEX
sation that have foated down the Nile
and tipped their way around the world
he is the same old Roosevelt. They
take one back to the days Of Loeb, the
nature takers, the strenuous life and

When He Started.
1t has been just about year since
Colonel Roosevelt left New York by
the steamer Hamburg bound for the
dark continent On board he made
himself most popular with the other
passengers by his democratic and un-
assuming demeanor and friendliness
He touched at Gibraltar and Messina
on the way, but requested that all
formal receptions be eliminated, as he
Travelled only as a private citizen In
Messina he was greeted in person by
the king of Italy and was touched by
the warm welcome Of the people, which
he accepted as token Of their thank
fulness for the American relief work
following the great earthquake. The
one thought he expressed at this. dem
onstration was pride in being an Amer
lean and in standing for the time as
the symbol of the country that had
helped these people in their calamity.
Theodore Roosevelt's enemies have ac-
cused him of megalomania, but there
was no trace of it in his bearing in
stricken Messina. His attitude was
human and fine. To me truth is more
than party, and, while I have not al
ways agreed with Theodore Roosevelt
in politics, in methods, in shooting all
the animals left or even in historical
judgments, like him because in the
main he brushes aside seemings and
gets down to the fundamental truth Of
things. At the heart he is right l
am willing to overlook all sorts of
minor failiugs in man of whom that
