his marked characteristics, was only
gained after hard fight, and the exer-
else of his tremendous will-power
Above everything else Roosevelt was a
fighter, an aggressive crusader for all
the causes he believed to be right.
The secret of his success were his
strong will and his ceaseless energy.
Hence, there is particular significance
in his statement that "the habit of
saving money stiffens the viii and
brightens the energies"
That Theodore Roosevelt we'll appre.
eiated the direct financial advantages
of thrift was shown in the tremendous
conservation policies inaugurated by
the United States government during
his administration. No President was
ever responsible for carrying out sucI,
gigantic thrift program. He put
stop to the annual waste in q vast
amount of water-power. mines, arabic
soil and lumber, he reclaimed millions
of acres of arid land In constructive
craftsmanship these policies stand out
as among the most noteworthy achieve
nents of the Roosevelt administration.
To gain just appreciation of the
character of Theodore Roosevelt one
must take into account the tremendous
part that thrift played in his life. He
knew the mental and moral values as
well as the financial ones to the indi-
vidual, and he was the first of our
presidents to take decisive action i'm
of national resources. Cir
did not make it necessary
for him to go through the penny-savinr
period of life common with many Illus
trious Americans, but he was neverthc-
less a thrifty man, whose success was
founded on the cxicm that !; sturt,S
will is the inevitable outgrowth os

RETURNING STOLEN GOODS.

An inconspicuous four-line news item from Paris
states that special train from Germany recently arrived
in Brussels with 74OO00O0O francs in specie This gold
had been stolen from Belgium by the Germans during
the war.
There is great satisfaction to every right-minded
in this return of actual goods carried off by the in
vaders When the machinery and farm tools and railroad
rolling stock stolen by the Hun armies restored to
Belgium and Northern France, and as much possible
of the art treasures and household furnishings are
brought back there will be still further satisfaction
The Germans must not be allowed to escape the work
Of restoration and they will not be- although there is
much that be restored BY returning piece by
piece the loot they carried off, they may perhaps learn
the shame and humiliation that will turn their minds and
hearts to ideals of decency and honesty and sefre

saving money stiffens the will and
brightens the energies"
One might quote at much greater
length from the sayings and writings
of Roosevelt, but the two statements
here given throw tremendous light on
the character of this great American
who is now mourned by the nation.
The thrift that Theodore Roosevelt
understood, practiced and taught was
not the narrow, selfish kind that goes
no further than money boarding.
Thrift with him meant efficiency and
progress. He knew that the act of
saving money is more beneficial in the
long run on account of the added
strength it gives to the will than be-
cause of the direct financial gain. 40
Theodore Roosevelt was typical ex-
ample of an iron-willed man. Although
he never knew the personal experiences
of poverty, he had to fight bravely and
courageously to gain the exalted posi-
tion he held in the affairs of the nation.
Even the rugged physical health which,
during all his active years, was one of

A GREAT ECONOMY BE-

"After a trip to kilauea, the active
volcano of Hawaii, my Neolin-soled
shoes were the only ones not abso-

P. Lane Of Seattle, Washington.

them by scientific process. Women

hard on shoes should buy them with
Neclin Soles. They come in many

they give, are great economy.

A PRESIDENT WHO DARED.
A Tribute to the Undaunted Firmness in
the Right of Grover Cleveland.

The salient, energetic and intrepid
character Of former President Grover
Cleveland, his sense of duty, his absolute
contempt of political or personal eonse.
quenees, his high standard Of public sery-
ice, his lofty conception Of public life,
cannot be recalled 10 mind too often. In
his first Office, that of sheriff of Erie
county, he showed on a small scale the
essential qualities Of courage and integ-
rity that he was TO display in greater
posts. As mayor of Buffalo, to the
amendment of a city government noto-
riously corrupt he brought a rectitude Of
purpose and resolution that no political
or social influence could affect in the
slightest degree. He harvested a large
crop of enemies. Through his life he
seemed to have almost a passion for col
Letting them.
As governor he judged every measure
by its merits. He earned the hatred Of
Tsmmsny, Of labor, of divers classes Of
people; and the Democratic nomination
for president. In his first term as presi.
dent his extension Of civil service reform
reused the hot anger of the spo;ls brok-
ers and the unterrifed very hungry and
very thirsty" His opposition to super.
iuous pensions made the G. A. r. fu-
rious. The manufacturers resented his
insistence on lower customs duties. In
his second term his insistence upon the
repeal of the silver purchase act stirred
to madness all the energumens of the
sacred white metal, all the believers in
unsound money, all the agitators and
radicals and budding populsts There
began the rupture of the Democratic
party, which later was TO wander in the
wilderness for 20 years.
II is too often forgotten that in his
first term Mr., Cleveland showed the
same vigor in executing the laws and re-
pressing disorder that he was 20 show
more memorably in his second term in
the case of the railroad strike in 1894
He put down an incipient Mormon rising
i'm Utah, He put down an instruction
on the Isthmus of Panama. He was
ready always to use the army and the
navy, If necessary, to see that the laws
of the United States were executed. The
Venezuela message, with its final and
triumphant assertion of the place and
power Of the United States on this con-
tinent, is a monument in American his
| tory. It marks an enormous advance in
the prestige Of the country.
No fairy stood beside Grover Cleve.
lands cradle to give him tact or grace or
suasion. His want of these and some
excess of his own best qualities made
| him disdain or made him incapable of
party tinesse and gentle and coaxing
treatment of his adversaries. But what
noble and undaunted firmness he had
in the right as God gave him to see the
right The memory of that unHagging
courage, of that strong contempt of the
arts Of mean popularity, of that basatC
will, integrity and moral purpose, must
always be revered by Amerieans,-New

New Hampshire,s Sc Edueational Law.


It Was a proud day for many New
Hampshire men and women, yesterday.
We saw the state step up into place OF
educational leadership among American
commemorative.
Memories crowded in upon us for an
instant memories Of the days when it
was considered Joke for a New Hamp-
shire educator to address a teachers
meeting in Massachusetts,, memories of
the days when ambitious and talented
teachers thought the state was just
about good enough to emigrate from. To-
day, papers of the literary quality of the
Springfield Republican are urging upon
Massachusetts careful consideration OF
the New Hampshire educational bill with
a view to adopting features of our new
system, and educators and educational
journals in all parts of the United States
are speaking in terms of warm common
dation regarding the advanced position
taken bv this good old state of ours that
all too often has been a follower instead
Of leader.
Not that splendid work has not been
done by the faithful men and women OF
our school system. Good work has been
done. But, oh, the handicaps under
which il has been accomplished. Now,
possessing an instrumentality at once so
rigid and so flexible that it drives
straight at the root of the matter and
still can be adjusted to every local re-
auirement, the educational staff of New
Hampshire can work out a system that
will be of comprehensive usefulness to
all our children, and all the newcomers.
But all this depends to great extent
upon the way our fine new law is ap.
piled. Here enters the prospective board
