PLATTSMOUTH, Neb, Oct 10.-To the
Editor OF The Bee: It was with very
much pain and surprise that l learned
that former President Roosevelt Is a
"humbug." as explained by Mr.. Agnew.
Mr.. Agnew's verdict will come as a great
shock to the civilized world and I am
afraid some of our history will have 70
be revised on account of it. Now why
couldn't he have given us this informa-
ton before and thus saved those of us
who believed Mr.. Roosevelt a great man,
the humiliation OF changing our minds.
Mr. Roosevelt probably became a hum
bug in Mr., Agnew's opinion when he re
fused TO sacrifice principle for party and
became a progressive. Abraham Lincoln
became a humhug in the eyes of a great
many people when he placed his convic-
tions above party and became a republi-
can. and / suppose that even George
Washington was considered a "humbug"
by King George because he repudiated
England and risked his life and fortune
fighting with his ragged continentals
against taxation without representa-
ton The bravest thing that Mr.. Roose-
Welt ever did was when he, refusing 10
compromise with the great political ma
chine opposing him. and risking his whole
political future. came out squarely for the
principles he believed right
Really, l am afraid Mr.. Agnew spoke
too late, for II there is anything the
American people admire II is a man with
his back TO the wall fighting against odds

years been tried and approved In the French Russian
and German armies and is now being used by each
of these armies in the field. The English field
kitchen is two-horse lmbered vehicle cooks for
go men. allowing ten quarts Of hot food for every
twelve men. The part of the wagon contains
a fire and four cooking pots in addition to a hot
water boiler Groceries, too carried. The only
drawback to these cooking is that they mater

as an army corps with its baggage takes up
