of both family and public life."

concluding, Senator Lodge said:
Theodore Roosevelt's ideal Of
public service was to be found in his
life, and as his life drew to It's close
he had to meet his ideal of sacrifice
face to face. All his sons Wslt from
him to the war and one was killed
upon the field Of honor.
This is not the place to speak Of
his private life, but within that sa'
cred circle no man was ever more
fortunate in the utter devotion Of q
noble wife, and passionate love Of
his children, The absolute purity
and beauty of his family life tell us
why the pride and interest which bis
fellow countrymen felt in him were
always touched with the warm Light
OF love. In the home, SO dear to him,
In his sleep, death came, and
so Valiant-for-Truth passed over
and all the trumpets sounded for him
on the other side"

tape diplomacy reapportioning the world,
but unless they place industry in fuller
harmony with democracy the deluge Will
come and sweep away all their red tape

moving out with the grim purpose not
to share the profits OF industry but to
