ROOSEVELT.

A leader has fallen in America. In both
thought and action, Theodore Roosevelt was q
leader of the people, potent, vire and energetic,
and influential in the life not only of his own
country, but with marked and direct effect on the
affairs of the world.
His long public career characterized al
ways by vigorous assertiveness, was one of ire
mendous energy expended in such industry as
will set him out prominently even in an age of
marvellous achievement. His range OF endeavor
was so comprehensive that it is not easy to
write of him in terms suitable to the common
run OF men. He was not ordinary or average
in anything Whatever he essayed, he under
took it with all his might, and pressed to lead
ership, Pioneer, politician, soldier, student,
writer, lecturer statesman, editor, his vocation
was so general that it almost included all hui
man activities, and in each line he achieved
eminence.
Rugged in character and physique alike, he
was intolerant only of sham and pretense.. No
American ever lived who had more choice
collection of political enemies, nor did ever
American statesman have a more devoted and
loyal following. He knew no halfway meas
ures between friend and foe, but fought with
the same intrepidity in the fields Of battle and
politics alike.
His intense Americanism was an inspiration
for patriots, and while not all were ready to
respond to his impetuous call, no one ever
thought of him as anything but being deadly in
earnest. The offering of four sons and his own
services to the cause of freedom is proof of
his great sincerity. 1t will be matter of re-
greet to the living generation of Americans that
his desire for duty in the field could not have
been gratiied,
Theodore Roosevets place in our country's
annals is large and secure His country will
mourn his demise, but will rejoice because he
did live and did serve so faithfully in UNFOLDING
the highest and best of our national ideals.

Unsound Financial Policy.

Secretary Lanes proposal that gold mining
be exempt from excess profits tax in order to
stimulate gold production is held to be unsound
both in economics and finance. The committee
on war finance of the American Economic as
ISOLATION concludes its report with these words:
Finally, the plan OF stimulating gold produc-
ton by some form of government aid is to be
deprecated" The committee, in presenting the
points says:
The committee had noticed with appre-
henslon the increasing agitation in certain
quarters in favor of stimulating gold pro-
duction by means of government bounty or
some other form of government aid. With
out entering into discussion of the various
phases of this subject the committee wishes
to register its emphatic opinion that the at
tempt by government bounty to stimulate the
production of gold at time like the present
when, through the wide extension. of the use
of paper money and deposit currency through
the increasingly efficient use of gold in bank
reserves. and through other influences, the
purchasing power of gold has been practically
cut in half during period of four years.

posed by the democrats in their cropping for a

largely by their unwillingness to face facts, but
that it does hold peril pointed out by the com.

conditions in commodity and other values will
not be secured by further depreciation in gold
prices. Expansion in credit currency must be
followed by prudent contraction before the evil
effects of initiation are removed and this can
not be accomplished by further aggravating the
conditions.

Huns Try to Dodge Terms.

Like Bret Harte's Heather Chinee," "for
ways that are dark and tricks that are vain"
the Hun mind is peculiar. At tho very outset
of peace under the armistice, DR.. Solf sought to
bamboozle the world into a belief that Germany
could not properly comply with requirements
unless forced to endure hardship and prvation
amounting to starvation. The cars and locomo-
tives demanded, however, are being delivered.
Now from Coblenz comes accounts of another
of the childish tricks of the vanquished Huns.

of surrender, the German authorities are pre-
