ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL SERVICE

The memorial service in honor of

9th, 1919, at his home, Oyster Bay, on
Long Island, was held in the Wild

Friday night as scheduled, notwith-
standing that President of the Senate

speaker, was not present, because "

ever, the meeting was interesting and a
profitable evening was spent by an au.
dience that more than half I'll ed the
auditorium. The chairman was a good
one, and when that is the case, a pub
lie meeting is rarely a dull one. The
speakers gave instructive addresses
and Oscar Huebner's Wild wood brass
band furnished the music, ~deiightlng
the audience with their playing. The
band is improving steadily unde the
leadership of this retired musician and
music writer, who settled in Wildwood
seme years ago. The chairman was
E. Yenuey, and be captured the audi
ence at the beginning with his witty
Introductory remarks, aud his happy
manner and language in introducing
the speakers. II want to see the time
when the life of Theodore Roosevelt
will be in the text books and studied
by our boys, which will be an inspira-
ton to do better things. 1t has been
said that if you want to read the story
of a great nation, read the biography
of our great men and you have the
history of a nation. This man has
Influenced the world more than we
know" said Chairman Yenney. The
speakers were Rev. D. II. King, Free
holder John w. Young and Senator
w. H. Bright. DIR. King said that
while he paid tribute to Roosevelt, the
great American, he never voted for
him. He said he voted for only two
men that were elected President, as he
most always supported the Prohibi-
ton candidates as a matter of principle.
He voted for Benjamin Harrison and
Wilson. In introducing Senator Hair
ry Bright Chairman Yenney was es-
pecially witty. He referred 10 the
efforts Of the Senator in his struggles
to reach q seat in the legislature, and
said that he was now making his own
monument, aud by his works would
he be judged. What q fine opportu-
nifty Senator Bright has now Of carving

q lasting and unsullied monument for
himself, this man that has peer such
a keen critic for more than twenty
years. Senator Bright, in his open
ing remarks, said he was skirmished
by the introduction the chairman gave
him, and said that the idea that the
people In front of him were taking his
measure got on his nerve. The Sena-
tor said he first met Roosevelt at the
Chicago convention in 1912 and that
he would never forget R~oosevelt's Wig
orous handshake. All through the
turbulent life of the progressive party
Senator Bright was q follower of Roose-
welt, and In identifying himself with
this rarity he came in contact with
many of the great men of state and ma
ton. The Senator, therefore, wa in
a position to speak most Interestingly
OF Roosevelt. The church choirs we're
