BRINGING OUR SOLDIERS HOME
SAFELY,

The heroic rescue of the $500 soldiers
and nurses from the stranded American
transport Northern Pacific on the shore
of Fire Island, N. Y, stands out as one
Of the achievements of note in sea-faring
life. The position of the ship remained
perilous for four days, with a consider
able sea running and with the vessel
pounding against the shore with great
force 1t was extremely hard to get near
the vessel and to remain there long
enough to take off the sick and wounded
American soldiers, while the use of life
boats and breaches buoy were practically
out of the question, But the rescue had
to be attempted by way Of vessels Of
small size being sent to the side of the
helpless transport and having the sol
hiers transferred as tenderly as possible
to the receiving ships. That the work
was accomplished without loss Of single
life and without serious mishap, other
than drenching for some of the men,
speaks well for the efficiency and courage
Of the coast guard and naval service of
The country. The experience, although
resulting happily, should be guarded
against in future trips of the transports
IS they bring back their precious freight

which were made in the navigation Of

CURRENT COMMENT
Tenant Farming.

To turn the farm over to tenants who,
in most cases, have no interest save that
of extracting the last dollar of profit
from the land, is working an untold in
jury. The successful farmer owes his
success TO his own enterprises and in
dustry. There is no royal road to sue
cess on the farm. The causes that work
for the individual success of the farmer,
are the forces that go to build up the
substantial interests of the community
in general No community can be CON
sidered desirable wherein the individuals
are unsuccessful A community of well
developed farms turned over to careless
or disinterested tenants is most pitable
sight Not that all tenants are thus un.
concerned, but the fact remains that
many of them are, and can not be ex-
pected to be otherwise, not having the
same inducements as the owner The
successful farmer owes it to his com.
munity and to his own manhood to de.
vote to the development of his communi.
ty of the same energies that have won
his success. And in this age of schools
and churches, of telephones, rural mails
and automobiles, life on the farm has
none of the elements of priyation, In
fact, in most particulars il has town
life beaten to finish. Free

THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

One of the ablest Americans of the
present generation passed away at oy-
ster Bay to-day. Finely endowed men.
tally, carefully trained for the highest
service, strictly nurtured in real Amer
icanism and, withal, close observer of
life in its manifold phases, Theodore
Roosevelt was eminently well fitted for
the various duties which he was called
upon to perform in very busy career.
He was courageous to the point of rash
ness; he was impetuous to a marked de-
gree; he was stern and almost implacable
as a foe; yet he was upright and four
square. Roosevelt hated hypocrisy and
sham; he detested cant and make-be-
lieve; he got all out of patience with
the mollyeoddle whether physical or
mental he wanted a man to be what he
really was and he valued pretense not
bit. That habit of mind was, as one
might well imagine, calculated to make
Roosevelt somewhat intolerant Of many
people and many things. He was so firm
in his own convictions that he wanted
people to think like him; and his feelings
went 50 far in that respect that he was
constantly getting into trouble with
some person or with some faction. Roose.
welt was in no sense real diplomat; he
was too outspoken for that. But what
he lost in diplomacy he made up in
straightforward and forceful presenta
ton. His career was more or less rufIled
ever since he as police commissioner Of
New York City began to turn the rascals
until he was showing up Germany as
Germany really was.
Up through the honorable career from
New York police commissioner, to gov
ernor of New York, to vice president of
the United States, to president of the
United States and then to honored ex-
president he battled his way with firm
conviction of right which almost amount
ed to egotism; and, although he lost
some of those battles, he gained the re-
spect of his opponents after the heat Of
battle had subsidized. They saw the real
Roosevelt finally, the Roosevelt who had
passionate fondness for the best and
highest in American life but who went
about getting it in some ways that
aroused serious antagonism. But those
antagonists are now forgotten in the
contemplation Of the splendid deeds
which he performed were, indeed, over
looked, if not forgotten, long before
death claimed him to-day Roosevelt
was called, during his terms of office,
one of the greatest presidents the United
States ever had. The same valuation re-.
mains to-day and is likely to become
more firmly established as history I'M
folds itself and makes clearer his many
actions.

more favorable as regards the artificial

are looking to the government of the
United States to insist that the utmost
care in navigation be exercised by the
seamen in charge of the transports. Let
the experience of the Northern Pacific
suffice.

DEMOBHIZING OF
SERVICE FLAGS rs
MADE CEREMONY

Many cities over the country,
which, had been animated with a
desire to have a community dem
onstration of gratitude to the men
returning from military to civil life,
have welcomed the plan of demobil-
izing service flags suggested by
war camp community service The
first city to hold the service flag
demobilizing is Lynn, Mass, which
inaugurated this type of service in
ST. Stephens church on Jan. II.
From all over the United States
come reports of similar affairs
planned. In New York war camp
community service is assisting
various organizations to carry out
the demobiliZihg of service flags.

in Boston, but has interested the

loose and the crowd on its toes and
atop of chair backs, yelled itself
hoarSe as Furdy and Rodgers stood
toe to toe in the center of the ring
and slugged for nearly a minute.
F>urdy was finally forced to fall into

ing to the canvas under the hail Of
punches During this time neither
sought to- defend, it was offense on
! the part of both and early a ques-
ton Of the survival of the fittest
AS it happened Rodgers was it.
Such battling could not continue
without a knockout, and from the
third on, Furdy's only hope was to
stick to the finish. By continually
clinching, locking his arms about
Rodgers and smothering the sting
ing body punches Of the smaller
man, the local boy managed to do
it He fought a game fight when
badly beaten and could not be
blamed for his tactics, the only pos
sible ones whereby he could wealth

tumult when the bout ended and

of the greatest ever seen about
these parts. Among the fans it is

y Gill Goes Good.
Superior ring science and clever
ness almost whipped Jimmy Gill in
the main preliminary. Kid Fisk,
his opponent, although much light
er, was the aggressor throughout
and staggered Gill several times
with stiff wallops to the head. The
fight was a good draw with the ad
vantage, if any, to Fisk. 1t must
be remembered that Gill fought
only his third match fight last night
while Fisk has been in the game
for several years and has met some
of the toughest boys of his weight.
Gill looks good and with proper
training and more experience
should develop into a fighter Of
which the tri-cities may be proud.
