j FRANK IA. VANDERBILT:

/ FRANK "a. VANDERBILT:
One can hardly say the usual
things about so very unsual a man
as Colonel Roosevelt. l believe he
has been of great influence toward
batter government and better liv-
ing. He had courage, and it was
his courage perhaps more than
anything else that gave him the
marvellous following he had. He
was not always wise, and was the
last man to claim that he was al
ways courageous, but always believ
that he was doing the right thing,
and usually he did it.
THOMAS w. LAMONT:
The country's sorrew for Theo-
dore Roosevelt's death will be very
deep. No other man In American
public life of the present genera :
ton had drawn to himself so much
Of personal loyalty and affection.
No one could know Colonel Roo
velt, even slightly, without feeling
his magnetism and power, his ex-
traordinary mental and physical
force, his vital qualities of interest
and sympathy. 1t is too soon to at
temp any estimate Of Colonel Roo
sevelt's services to the country.
Today it is sufficient to say that
no one could ever match his devO-
ton to his native land, his intense
patriotism, his versatility, his. cour
age. The country will mourn him
as man of high ideals, intense prr
pose, great enthusiasm for Just
causes, and fine achievements for
his country and for humanity.
