some future Hohenzollern or a POL
shevist shall threaten. Theodore
Roosevelt, though in his grave. will
speak to the American people with a
compelling voice. He is still the
valiant foe of greed oppression and
injustice. He is not dead, but has
gone to join his brave, beloved son.
He will live forever in the hearts of
the American people.

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 6.
Theodore Roosevelt's services to
our country were Of such a character
as to render his name always con-
spicuous among Americas great men.
He had a large number Of political
followers here, and was unuuestion-
ably very popular. His mother was a
Georgian, and this of itself gave him
warm place in the affections of our
people. We are pleased that he
claimed himself Georgian. Our
people mourn his loss.

~ to all loyal Americans. He was

BOSTON, Mass. Jan. 6.
The people of our commonwealth
have learned with profound sorrow
of the death of Theodore Roosevelt
No other citizen of the nation would
have brought in so large a degree
the feeling of common loss. Dur
ing the almost eight years that he
was President the people came to see
in him reflection Of their ideals,
OF the spirit of true Americanism.
He was the advocate of every good
cause. He awakened the moral pur-
pose Of the nation and raised the
standard of public service He ap-
pealed to the imagination of youth
and satisfied the judgment of ma
turity. In him Massachusetts, saw
al exponent of her own ideals. In
token of the love and reverence which
all people bore him, l urge that ma
tional and state flags be flown at
half-staff throughout the common
wealth until after his funeral and
that when next people gather for
public worship his loss be marked
with proper ceremony.
