desired by idealstic statesmen everywhere. Surely

out Of this talk, doubtless because OF The conviction

ior which he had neither intellect
ual nor moral Sympaty.
His lntemperate Hostility
From that time on, and in fact
from a time somewhat antcdating
it, the luster of his fame began TO
he dimmed. Whereas before he
had manifested only the virtues OF
his character, now he was betrayed
by rcScntments resulting from dis
appointed ambition into revealing
faults whose existence but few
suspected. His return to the Re
publican party from motives which
seemed so clearly to be associated
with his personal ambition, his
treatment OF Mr.. Taft and, still
later, his Incorporate and enyen-
omed denunciations OF the Prcsi-
dent revealed qualities OF heart and
mind TO which the country had
previously been blinded by the
gratitude il felt because OF the no-
bic services he had rendered. No
one doubted his patriotism; no ono
questioned that he was actuated
always BY love OF country and by
passionate desire to advance the
public interest. But it became evi-
dent that the cgotism OF his nature
made it easy for him to identity
the public welfare with his own
ambitions, and to see in everything
which opposed them menace to
the country that warranted all OF
the Incorporate hostility OF which
he was capable.
And Yet a Great Man

A PARTY WITHOUT A
LEADER
(By Richard S. Graves in Tulsa
Democrat)

Theodore Roosevelt's death leaves
the republican party without an
actual leader, but leaves it with
hall a dozen men who will aspire to
the vacant place, though probably
unable to measure up to it. NO
doubt the first thought OF every
man when first he heard Of Col
onel Roo,eyclts death was that the
country had lost one OF its great
est men The next thought no
doubt was that the party to which
he belonged had lost its natural
leader.
For Colonel Roosevelt held the
party i'm the hollow of his hand.
lie was the ablcst man in that
party. 1t is true that he did not
control it and guide its destinies by
persuasion. Those were not his
methods, and when the party re
bcllcd and would not follow him
he wrecked it. Colonel Roosevelt
thereafter ruled by fear, ior al
though his power had wancd to
some extent, ii still was enough to
give him 4 strangle hold on the
party.
The country at large knows that
one OF its foremost men has gone.
lie was the leading spirit in many
things-a partisan and a leader. lie
made his own principles and held
TO them until others came to his
way OF thinking. His aggressive
ness would not permit him to give
Il loot OF ground to any man, and
many times he won in the face OF
apparent certain defeat by sheer
force of character
Roosevelt had his friends and his
enemies, but he was respected by
all. Not by any OF them was his
sincerity ever doubted and there
was never the slightest doubt that
he meant what he said. The col
onel was not good loser and had
little patience with those who did
not take readily to his own princi-
pies; but he blazed the way as the
most forceful man in American
| life.
In the death Of Roosevelt the
country loses one OF its great men,
for even those who opposed him
politically admit that he was great,
| At one time ne came near TO being
the idol OF all the American people,
and at all times he had their respect
and their confidence in his SINGER
ity. There is no man OF similar
character in the country to take
his place. There is no political
leader with the same force and
aggressivcncss, His death leaves
the country without the one man
who always was before the public
a leader who was not often defeat
ed and who had planned for greater
leadership in the future.

Key Of HAPPINESS.

It IS very difficult to realize It
sometimes, and it is very hard on our
pride to admit it when we do reaiize
1t, but 1t Is a fact nevertheless. and
a fact that we should let get hold OF
us. and stay with us-that the JOY
and happiness and satisfaction of our
lives depend very much more upon
ourselves and the kind Of people we
are than upon the kind Of things that
happen to Us. 1t is the kind of will
we carry round with us. and the atti-
tilde Of u mind and the temper OF
our spirit and decides whether our
lives shall be happy and hopeful. and
not the things that come to lis.
Given the right kind Of will. The same
attitude and the wholesome temper OF
soul, we shall be able to adjust our
selves to life with some comfort
and satisfaction, no matter what Its
accidents and incidents, until they be-
come quite satisfying. We carry the
key Of u own happiness ourselves
and no one can give it to us or take
1t away.
