president was at a banquet which
Mayor Gaynor was giving to the pres

naval officers and several distin'

communicated to him.
1t was evident that the report fell
upon the presidents ears as great
blow He was talking with Mayor
Gaynor at the time and after hearing
the news sat silent for several min
utes. He declined at first to make any
statement, apparently being reluctant
to credit the report.
Later as the news was confirmed tho
president said to the newspaper men:
a am very Horry to learn OF the as.
sault upon Colonel Roosevelt ard am
glad to learn no harm was done"
AZ the time the president made this
statement bulledns from Milwaukee
gave the assurance that Colorel Roose-
welt had sustained practically no ia

avoided reference to the reports, but
the news had soon spread to all and
there was 50 much discussion OF the
reports that little attention was given

PATH MADE EASY
FOR FOLLOWERS

You have heard yoer grandfathers
tell of the winning OF the West. We
can only imagine the hardships, he
terrors. the dangers If the way. yet
those who followed after, went West
Just the same, their paths made easy
by the men who suffered before.
Jus. so it is In the industrial world
today, the pioneer must not only
risk his capital. and his very reputa
ton of scientific knowledge. but he
must bear the hrunt of opposition all
along the path. Yet no sooner is an
industry established than dozens of
men everywhere seek to profit from
this advance.
In the automobile industry this has
been particularly true. Certain man
ufacturers hace, from their beginning,
fought out their success along honest
manufacturing lines, making it a
business and not a gamble. Yet the
very success of these men has at
tracted the element which seeks to
profit without work and without risk.
Gradually this latter element is be-
Ing forced out OF the business and the
business is better for II.
A notable example of the same
thing Ii the. present rush for popu-
larity in the self-starting industry.
