welt was the first man to explore the
stream. During this journey the ex-
president contracted jungle fever
which developed Indignantly and re-
quired several operations. at the Roose-
welt hospital in New York city in 1918.
When the European war began,
Roosevelt vigorously advocated pol
licy of national preparedness, urging
universal military training for the ma
tion's youth. In speeches throughout
the country and in his magazine and
newspaper writings he criticized, in
this respect, the policies of Woodrow
Wilson during Mr.. Wilson's first term
as president
With the reelection of Mr.. Wilson,
and Americas entry into the world
war soon after, Roosevelt immediate
ly supported the president and bitterly
assailed the prof. Germans, pacifists
and other types of men who attempted
to delay speeding up the war. He en-
deavored to obtain the consent of the
war department to establish an army
division which he was anxious to take
to France, but this was denied him.
His four sons, however entered the
service and served with distinction.
Roosevelt's disappointment at not
being allowed to go to France with
an army division was, it may be stated
on the authi1ity of an American citi-
zen who was in Berlin about that time
shared by Emperor Wilhelm of Ger
many. To this American, the Emper-
or is declared to have stated that the
funniest thing that he could conjure
in his imagination was the sight of

EX-GOVERNOR VAN SAINT
AND PARTY SPEND DAY
u. = IN TARPON SPRINGS

S. r. Van SAINT, ex-governor of Min
nesota, accompanied by his wife and
Mrs. Albert M. Adams, were register
ed at the Tarpon Inn yesterday for
dinner having motored over from
Tampa to visit Mr.. and Mrs. Lucian L.
Lucas. The governor and his. wife
have known Mrs. Lucas from child
hood, being intimate friends and
neighbors of Mrs. Eucas's parents
when. they resided in Minnesota pre-
vious to their residence. in New York
city. ..-.., s..,.. III. 4 ;.s..> y.
Governor Van SAINT, was especially
interested in Tarpon Springs as he
was a close personal friend of the late
Senator E. B. Hawkins, Van SAINT oc-
cupying the governors chair at the
time of Mr.. Hawkins's senatorship.
He is also acquainted with others of
our winter residents who hail from
Minnesota. The governor is at pres
ent enjoying his beautiful winter
home at Valrico, Fla, of which place
he is the founder and promoters while
his permanent home is in St. Paul,
Mimi, where he is identified with
many large interests, among which is
the Van SAINT Trust company, of which
he is the president.
The ex-governor is deeply interested
in the upbuilding of Florida, being a
member of the Rotary club of Tampa,
while last winter he purchased beau
tiful waterfront property in Dunedin,
where his son, who with his family
will arrive about the middle of this
month, will in all probability erect a
fine winter residence.
Mrs. Adams, who was a girlhood
friend of Mrs. Lucas, is spending the
winter in Tampa where Mr.. Adams
has recently purchased winter resi-
dence on the Bayshore boulevard. Mr..
Adams, whose business interests are
in Chicago, will arrive during the
month.
1t is always pleasant to welcome
old-time friends, especially when they
express themselves as being happy to
find one located in such beautiful sur
roundings as Tarpon Springs pre-
sents, and we anticipate, in their fu-
ture visits, showing them many more
interesting features of the "Venice of
the South"

THEODORE ROOSEVELT DIED
AT O'CLOCK THIS MORNING

NCOnClnued from page one
York city on October 27, 1858, in a
house in East Twentieth street, the
baby Theodore was a weakling. He
was one of four children who came
to Theodore and Martha Bulloch
Roosevelt. The mother was of South
ern stock and the father of Northern,
a fact which, during the early years
of Theodore, juniors, boyhood, was
not allowed to interfere with the fam
lily life of these children during the
civil war days.
At the age of II Roosevelt entered
Harvard university. A few months
after his graduation, he married Miss
Alice Lee of Boston. She died in 1884,
leaving one child Alice, now the wife
of Representative Nicholas Long
worth of Ohio In 1886 Roosevelt
married Miss Edith Kermit Carow, of
New York, and to them five children
were born-Edith, now the wife of DR..
Richard Derby, and four sons, Theo-
dore, jr., Kermit, Archibald and Quen-
tin, the latter of whom was killed in
aerial combat in France.
When the Spanish-American war
broke out, the famous Rough Riders
were organized by Roosevelt and Col
onel Leonard Wood. They came out
of the west-plainsmen, miners, rough
and ready fighters who were natural
marksmen, and Wood became their
colonel and "Teddy," as he had become
familiarly called by the public, their
lieutenant colonel. In company with
the regulars of the army they took
transport to Cuba and were soon en-
gagged in the thick of battle. Among
| the promotions which this hardy regi-
ment's gallantry brought about were
those of Wood to brigadier general
and Roosevelt to colonel-and this IT,
tie Theodore Roosevelt cherished to
the end. The prominence Roosevelt
Igained as colonel of the Rough Riders
led to his election as governor of New
York, as vice president. and later as
president ..
Following his retirement from the
presidency he spent much time in for
eign travel. His hunts for big game
and his zest for exploration took him
into the American West, the heart of
Africa and the wilderness of Brazil.
Upon his return from his African
journey-a return during which he
made triumphant entries into Euro
pean capital and was received by ma
tons rulers, including the emperor of
Germany-he arrived in New York to
experience what was GENERALLY Con-.
ceded to be the greatest ovation an
American private citizen was ever ac-
corded by the people of his country.
This was in 1910. At the head Of, an
exploring party in South Amreica, in
1914 he discovered and followed for
600 miles a Medeira river tributary
which the Brazilian government sub
sequently named, in his honor, REQ
Theodore. This was the famous "Riv-
er of Doubt"-so-called because in
many quarters considered authorita-
tive it was questioned whether Roose-

SmeItino Art Ancient One

In the old world the art Of smelling
ores was discovered about 1900 B. G.
It has sometimes been suggested that
iron tools and weapons may have been
made at an earlier period from mete-
orites. Recently considerable amount
Of evidence in behalf of this hypoth-
esis has been presented by c. F. Zim-
mer. He has compiled list of the
known ir6n-containing meteorites,
nearly all accumulated within the last
century, and he shows from these alone
about 250 tons of iron might be OBJ
tanned. Of this amount more than 80
per cent is mallcable, consisting of
nickel-iron alloy.

That statement was amusing to those
who knew the writer, and is char

his character a pretty hard jab.
In his letter he states that / was

trasted with his own. He claims that |

But Paul Pry's record for patriotism |
needs to be contrasted with some facts. !

against Senator Salisbury, who voted
the Republican ticket.
The Republican party placed men
on its ticket who We're in sympathy

IN AN EDITORIAL the New York
Times expresses approval Of the State
Constabulary organized in New York
State, and processes surprise that the
new Governor recommends it's dis
banding. The cause Tor Governor
Smiths expressions is easily found
and when uncovered it is found to be
the result Of opposition of the foreign
labor element and Socialists of New
York City This class can be relied
upon to oppose any safeguard the
law abiding people provide. The
Times has this to say on this subject:
Montana is preparing TO establish
a constabulary on the Pennsylvania
model. Illinois, Michigan and Nlassa-
chusetts have recently adopted the
plan and New York has had it for two
years. It is therefore surprising that
Governor Smith, of the latter common
wealth, recommends that the constab-
ulary be abandoned. He gives no rea-
sons, certainly none which are in the
least convincing.
Pennsylvania is not only proud Of
its constabulary but that it has erect
ed model which other States have
found so nearly perfect as to need no
alteration. Much of the credit is due
to Major Groome, who organized the
force so efficiently and set standards
which are the highest. Probably no
other similar body of men in the world
has performed allotted tasks SO well.
