Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1919-01-10

Much has been said of Roosevelt luck,
but it was not always with him, and in
his passing it seems somewhat obscure;
for at the moment of his going he was
politically an under dog, barking at the
moon. Even in that role he was rem
dering a distinguished service to his
country, which some may discount as
they will, but even his most adverse
critics would not deny him the respect
and the love that is due one of the
greatest and most remarkable charac-
tiers in American history.
1t will be difficult for the country to
realize that man who has lived so
much lives no more. For many years
his admirers, and, possibly in the far
distant future, students of history, will
make revereat pilgrimages to his simple
grave which will be on a knoll near
Sycamore Hill overlooking Long Island
Sound.
