The attack on President Wilson by
former President Roosevelt is very char
acteristic. Mr.. Roosevelt goes to South
America, finds the longest river and
referees snake fight He comes home
and the next order OF business is to at
tack the Administration The order oil
business was not to be laid aside even
to investigate what the President had
done. Mr.. Roosevelt was President
nearly eight years and his work with
the trusts was TO give them all they
asked for. Mr.. Wilson has been Pres
ident for year and his trust bill has
not yet been passed. His tariff bill
has not failed so far and win not fail il
the income taxes are collected. The in
come tax will cause wealth to bear its
part of taxation. The Roosevelt tariff
will not do this. The cost OF living has
been reduced since Mr.. Wilson's cleo
ton. The cost of living was increasing
under President Roosevelt and reached
its highest mark under President Taft.
The administration OF President Roose-
welt contributed as much as any other
President to the pinch of poverty, I"
There is nothing Mr.. Roosevelt likes SC
much as being President and he is not
particular about the course he adopts in
reaching his desired end.

/ ask not for tears when depart,
But would my friends might truly say
He sought the wealth OF mind and heart
Sincerely till his latest day;
Though poor in worldly wealth, he knew
The greater wealth Of living true.
Self reliant, he did not shirk
A debt or honest duty's call;
He dared to do laborious work
And stand four square with one and all.
True independence was to him
A gold sceptre and diadem.
He sought not wealth; the simple. life
He prizd far more than heaps OF gold,
Content to live free from the strife,
Which greed and pride and fashion
hold.
He early learned man s real need
Is short-lived and small on earth indeed.
Though sorely tried, he ne'r gave Ger
Nor sat him down to weep and pine,
But bravely looked with hope before
Nor cast regretful looks behind.
He fought his fight with right good will,
And nobly climbed life's stubborn hill.
"Of true life the royal road
He trod with high and careful grace,
Nor fouled his soul before his God
By evil deeds, but with his face
Full fronting to the purer light,
AS pure gold he kept his conscience
bright.
Though few the gifts that Heaven sent
To him, with kind and generous hand
He gave his little store, intent
To serve and bless his fellow man.
With unfeigned friendship he met the
poor,
Nor turned them hungry from his door.
The stranger in his home or land
Had always his sympathy;
He priced the brotherhood Of man,
And in genuine hospitality
To him far from his own Preside,
His hand and door we're open wide.
His charity was large, his love
Calm-brooded Ger the mighty earth;
He labored through his life to prove
OF goodness the priceless worth.
Though many his faults, his life work
was given
To lay up wealth in the vaults OF Heaven.
He loved each flower and singing bird,
Each brooklet prattling through the
dells;
The rustling breezes by him heard
We're sweet as Sabbath evening bells.
He trod the earth as natures priest,
And revered God in greatest and least.
A ladder nature was, whereby
He climbed in thought from this low
sod
TO fairer worlds beyond the sky,
Chained round the golden throne Of
God.
His hope and faith we're stayed in Him
Who sits meath the wings OF the sera-
phim.
