Roosevelt as a Writer.

In an article on Theodore Roosevelt in thc Yale Review Henry A. Beers says If him as a writer:
 "Mr. Roosevelt produced much ex> celIent literature, but no masterpieces like Lincoln's Gettysburg address and second inaugural. Probably his sketches of ranch life and of hunting trips in three continents will be read longest and will keep their freshness after the public questions which he discussed have lost interest and his historical works have been in part re- written. In these outdoor papers, be- sides the thrilling adventure which they-very odeStly-record, there are even passages of descriptive beau tt and chapters of graphic narrative. like the tale of the pursuit and cap ture of the three robbers who stole the boats on the Missouri river which belonged to the Roosevelt ranch"

hustle out the exhibits and to move in
the motor trucks. tractors, trailers and

day of rest for the exhibitors, be-
cause the work was in progress all
Sunday. BY the time this evening
comes the show VIII be ready.
AS most of the accessory people stay
in their same places for the second
week, there isn't so much shifting
about to be done with them. There will
be, of course, some changes, because a
few of the accessories have nothing to
do with motor trucks or their users
and will give place to those things
that are peculiarly adapted to bust
ness needs.
The show that opens tonight runs
for a week. 1t is pure business" as
in the nature of things commercial
vehicle show should be- That doesn't
mean, however, that last weeks show
wasn't some business event, too. The
estimate has been made that s4,0O0.-
600 worth of automobiles were sold di-
rectly as result of the show. This
is by no means an impossibility, be-
cause there were many retail sales in
every space and there we're of course
some new dealer arrangements consum-
mated that will lead to good sized
wholesale business But the general
tone of the show was the most inspir-
ing thing. AS Ned Jordan says: This

1913 Acts Analysed

Only Three of 54l Passed

After an analysis of 541 approved
measures passed during 1918 by the
Board of Aldermen. the Citizens Union

tive answer should once more be given
to the perennial question: Should the

Either that" says the Union, in a

the work of the board. "or increase

and forty-one were to appoint commits
"This,7 says the Citizens Union,

q further analysis shows that these
four grant leaves of absence to city
employees to attend reunions, five are

to the publication of the aldermanic
