direct indeed that Congress on one occasion
was almost the verge of revolt. But
the President, as a rule had his way and
it was a good way. Roosevelts interest in
public affairs was more than n mere politi-
cal interest. 1t was broadly social. 1t
under his leadership that the work of con
serving the national resources began. The
foundations were laid, and much of the

Indeed, it is only fair to say that the
last phase of his life was the best. He had
no prestige of official position to enforce
his teachings, yet his audience and his fol-
lowers were undiminshed. He was one of
the earliest of American leaders to appre-
ciate the dangers of our national military
unpreparedness, and he labored incessantly
to compel public and official realization of
the seriousness of our exposed situation.
He never more cherished by the people
of the United States than in these closing
days, never more confidently looked to for
wise counsel Endowed with exceptional
gifts of mind, he had the crowning gift of
lofty and courageous spirit. 1t was thus

On Parting With Theodore Roosevelt Foreve

These are some Of the tributes paid to
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt IN every cor
ner of the country. The Boston Globe
says:
<<COME men tell great stories. This
ee man was a great story. Most of
~ us read romances. This man was
his own romance. He felt the
glamour of his own life and made others
feel it. There is something intoxicating
about such a career: athlete, soldier, au.
thor, statesman, sportsman, naturalist,
plorer-a one-man drama in which he
played every part with equal zest.
"There will be two Theodore Roosevelts
hereafter. One will be the President who
shaped seven decisive years of American
history The other will be figure which
will fill imaginations of the future. Which
ever be the more important-the sober
statesman or the legendary hero-men will
truthfully say that there was time when
he personified America
