NJ. Depcw stand tonguctied in the
presence Of his own statue. Modcsty
overcame him at the crowning moment
of his eightyfour years. He just
couldn't talk about himself.
The occasion was the unveiling of a
heroic. bronze statue of himself in De-
pew Park, presented by him to Peeks-
kill. Senator Depew, the living orator,
had promised to dwell personally and
intimately upon the life, character and
associations Of the man Depew who
was represented by the chisellcd figure
Of metal. He said he would tell the
whole story about himself and not
spare the feelings Of the village which
gave him birth

An upbound train brought New York
ers from financial. political and rail
road circles, who admitted that some
thing more than curiosity had drawn
them to the scene. Mysterious strang-
ers. looking eager OF anxious. as the
case might be, gathered in the park
with the local populace. A few planted
themselves conspicuously in front of

number lurked nervously behind trees
or ambushed themselves in the high
grass, with their hat brims pulled we'll

The atmosphere was electric with ex-

Senator Depew returned to his boy
hood home by limousine. He was born
in Peekskill Of rich but honest parents.
They got it from an ancestor, who got
it from an Indian in 1855. 1t came
down from the Huguenot du Puys, and
the pond, the brook. the spring and the
woods Of the old estate are now part
Of Depew Park.
Grew Up on Peekskill FARM
The infant Chauncey grew up on the
Peekskill farm, and it was down the
steep meadow path leading to the rail
road station that he had his running
jump into life.
He already had gold watch, a frock
coat and hearty appetite. All he

Ihen, as dramatic climax to a long
career, he came back to his own plac G
TO present his perpetual likeness to

music furnished by the Peckskill Band.

the entrance of the new Grand Central
Station or a toastmaster holding aloft

Mr.. Depew and the statue faced each
other for moment, and presently the
former Senator smiled knowingly. ooh,

smile.
If a statue ever had the power of
showing distress, then was the time

The Senator stood up, and the crowd

Meets a Boyhood Friend
Peekskill was the subject of the ad-
dress-Peekskill and the rest of the
world. His only regret, said the Sem
ator. was that he had only one life to
begin in Peekskill.
"l've been almost everywhere on the
EARTH" he said, "and I've come back
home to tell you the Hudson is the
most beautiful river I've ever seen.
The loveliest spot on the Hudson is
Peekskill. A drink of water from the
old Centre Street spring is enough to
make a man live a hundred years. A
Whit of that air from across the Pali-
sades is enough to make him want to
live hundred years"

A Word for Roosevelt.

To the Editor o, The Times Dts pa tch:
Sir,--I am a habttual reader OF The
Times Dispatch, but confess there
arc some things ! cannot comprehend.
As general rule. your editorials are
Ss"nsihle. consistent ano conservative
iiut there is always one peculiar eX-
cept!on to that rule, and am not the
only one who observes that peculiar
discrepancy or exception. There are
this mornings Dispatch that explain
themselves In n sense, and still In an
ether sense they are incxpl!cab!e one
OF them is under the caption. "Roose-
Welt RcCkleSsncSs," the other purport-
ing TO dcnouncc Hearst for his lack

fasting and prayer for the success OF
american arms.
these editorials as hundreds. and per-
haps thousands, Of other people viii
read them. and explain wherein they
not many people read the statements
made by Mr. Roosevelt. From reading
your editorials no one would presume
that IT is IN fact the Hearst papers
and Hearst yellow journalism that Mr..
Roosevelt 50 cloqucntly points out as
being treated with peculiar tender
ness by the postal authorities" II Is
those very Hearst papers that you
join in condcrnn!ng on the same page.
you condemn him for condemninE. but
that Mr.. Roosevelt has cited these
very same sheets sid their disloyal
remarks as being un-American ard
unpatriotic. Strange what hold
prejudice can get on even an intelli-
gent mind!
Every other American who reads
current news and magazines knows
that Theodore Roosevelt stands by
every policy, whether it emanatc from
Victor Berger. Eugene V. Debs or
Woodrow Wilson, provided that policy
represents the best interests of Ameri
can citizens and not the interest of
he Woodrow Wilson. Stand by the
nation all the time. but only stand by
the President when lie stands by the
nation. Had 1t not been for Senator
Chamberlain and Theodore Roosevelt,
the airship probe and the other tardy
and. in measure, disSraceful acts
OF men in authority would never have
been investigated.
Now. arc you going to stand by the
statement that "Burleson is no fit man
to head great and powerful depart
ment If he countcnances such practices
on the part of his subordinates," If.
as you say. William L. Hearst APP
rnren;ly does not want the American
people to know that the
United states is lighting for victory
rather he would lead them into
the belief that the struggle is only for
peace? How do you harmoniZe? You
ask, What crime against the nation
could be more subtle than this?"
Then you jump on Theodore Roosevelt
for denouncing Burleson because he
allows what you agree is most subtle
crime against this nation. Be fair:
give Mr.. Roosevelt credit for what
he is doing and trying to do.
