LOOKING UP
"It's always morning
~- somewhere."

1t seems reasonably certain, in light
Of the latest information, that Theo-
dore Roosevelt was not personally in
yolved in the accident which wrecked
the boats of his party in Brazil and
caused the loss of a lot of the explor-
alton company's equipment. That is
good news. The first reports were a
bit alarming
Yet there are some folks doubtless,
who regret that the early bulletins
were not correct in all their details.
Not very long ago, Joe Cannon was
quoted as having said, when he read
one of the stories of the Roosevelt ex-
periences in the Amazon country,
whats the matter with the damned
snakes down there anyway? Are they
afraid to poison anybody?.
Although this question is sufficiently
characteristic of Uncle Joe to be true,
1t is doubtless an exaggeration. There
Is nobody who would express the wish
that a serious accident might befall
Mr. Roosevelt. although it is unaues-
tionably true that there are many who
would not wear crepe were the worst
to happen.
So the news which seemed so good
] to us yesterday morning was not re-
ceived with heartiness by some other
folks. As in an election, what makes
one set of people happy is, of neces
sity, grief to some other lot of folks
But, in the main, the news that Colonel
Roosevelt is safe will be received with
satisfaction by the people of this corn-
try.
Uncle Joe may or may not have
made the remark which is credited to
him. II he did make it, he didn't mean
1T in the cold-blooded significance
which it seems to possess in type He
may have thought that the expedition
afforded a fine opportunity for some
snake with a mean disposition, but far
be 1t from him to suggest that such
a snake get busy on the job.
The news this morning dispels the
fears which were reused by the early
reports of an accident to the Roose-
welt expedition. The colonel, the dis
patches say today. is well and Is on
his way out of the Wilderness He
will get out of the woods in time to
demonstrate how thoroughly all right
he is. He will tell us what a .'bully
time" he has had and he will feel
more like bull moose than ever.
He is a remarkable man. There
was never another just like him. There
are good many people who do not
realize how much this country owes
to him, to his energy and to his lofty
purpose. On the other hand. there are
q good many others who do realize
these things.
But the main thing is that he was
not drowned in the rapids and that
no snake has had the temerity to
poison him. That job of poisoning
has been left for some of the abler
Of the modern DeBorgias who are apt
In that line and who are waiting for
him to get back home. They will be
pm the JOB all right But so-thank the
Lord-will the colonel. And they will
have to get up early In the morning
10 get their poison working.
