These are no weasel words. They

THEODORE ROOSEVELT has been urging
upon his fellow citizens, without
thought of self and with the incom-
parable power which his qualities
engender. The publication Of Mr..

Chicago declining the nomination If
his devoted personal following there
assembled should insist on an i'm

national committee after conference

almost inconceivable that the final
decision Of Colonel RdbsEvELr and his
sane supporters could be such as to
precipitate the very calamity which

patriotism. the main purpose Of his
life, to avert. His attitude after the
two nominations at Chicago and the

1t would be unjust to conclude this

Mr.. GEORGE W. PERKINs's difficult

the future Of the country through
the reestablishment Of the Republican

the destruction Of the miserable and
malign Wilsonian regime have been

greater. perhaps, than those OF any

work of high patriotism which we
believe Colonel ROOSEVELT IL now by
his course performing and resolved
to continue to perform until real

II LIGHTHOUSE.

When Martin Lloyd was n %youngster
living with his parents on a barren
little farm in the hills of middle Long
Island he could see each night, as he
crept under the counterpart up in
the attic. the Fire Island light glow
and diminish, rckindle and fade with
u mysterious effect Of reckoning him
to the edges of the broad Atlantic.
And gazing upon the great beam that
reached him through the small, fan
shaped window under the gable Martin
Lloyd fell asleep, voyaging happily
to the ends of the world.
Behind his freckled forehead, unre-
vealed by his somewhat timld man
ner and hesitant speech. lay n pro-
found and h%eartening conviction that
he might become famous. rather rich;
and that, whatever befcll. his man
hood would achieve, somehow or other,
the dignity Of success.
He began ~auspiciously as a clerk
in a shoe store in a nearby village.
Having saved n little money he went
to the not distant city to study for a
profession. When he was half way
through his course his father died.
As his brother was crippled the care
of the mother and the younger chill

youth enabled him to take 1t with a
cheerful spirit.
The farm was poor. but by exertion
could be made to yield "A living. Martin
wanted to marry. but in the succeeding
years such a step was out of the
question; or so IL seemed to him. Per-
haps he was wrong. At any rate the
filling OF the sandy soil. the education
OF his two young brothers and the
two girls. the paying OF doctors bills
and the burden of a mortgage abb
sorbed all his energy and required all
his provision day in and day out.
There were times when he thought
exhaustedly of his chances OF getting
back to his studies. and on rare eve
nlngs he would take down one OF the
thick books he had brought home with
him. With a slight frown he would
turn the pages, surprised to find that

Appeal for Assistance.

You will agree that every child's
birthright is food, shelter. health, hap.
piness and useful education.
ITO secure these rights for as many
children as is possible families must
be provided with more than food and
clothing to meet their immediate ter

opportunity for self-help and the edu-
alton of little ones.
There are children of our own coun-
try and those who have come to our
shores from other countries. There are
still others who can best be cared for
