NOW WHAT WILL WOODROW DO
TO WOOD?

Having been denied the recognition
to which his rank, ability and wide
experience entitled him, and having
been kept in comparative obscurity
during the great war, General Leon
than avoid further action designed t.
humiliate him at the hands of thu
administration In his splendid eul.
ogy of Colonel Roosevelt, delivered a
Kansas City, he described the char
acteristics of the great American il
language that necessarily suggested
comparison with another distinguish
ed American. In the course of his ad
Dress which was enthusiastically APP
plauded by over fifteen thousand list
eners, General Wood said:
He detested sham and want of
candor, He had little patience
with those adroit in the use of
words and skilled in the building
of phrases, but lacking concrete
courage to meet issues when ma
tional honor and civilization de-
manded action. He had the fac
ulty of drawing a line between
wisdom and folly.

| existed, he believed in preparing
against it, He realized that it
was a false humanity not to give
the men who are to fight our bat
| ties a sporting chance.
| "He held the confidence of all
factions and was equally at ease
in the Sarbonne, or addressing a
| group of men in a mining town.
Gle did more than any other
president to make the world real
ize what the United States stands
for and what a republican form of
government means His broad
vision, wide knowledge and
sound judgment were never more
needed than today,
ut was impossible for him to
be neutral in the face of wrong.
He believed in a free press and
free speech and understood that
| democracy resenting criticism,
smothering the press and hamper
ing publicity, is democracy in
danger. If not a democracy dying,
! along the fighting line in
France and Flanders, there were
more inquiries concerning Colonel
Roosevelts opinion and probable
| line of action than concerning all
other Americans combined.
| He never believed nor for
| moment tolerated the idea that
we should enter into any league
which would deprive us of the
| right of free action within our
own sphere of Influence, or put
us in a position of unprepared-
ness to do what we believed to
| be right, or in a condition which
would render us unable to defend
our own interests in case of need
He believed in avoiding en-
tangling alliances but realized
that America must play her part
when civilization and the rights
OF mankind were in danger. In
Theodore Roosevelts opinion no
man who refuses service to the
limit of his ability, whether in
war or peace, is fit to be a citizen.
Theodore Roosevelt was the
most inspiring and hence the
most dominant figure in Ameri-
can life since Abraham Lincoln.
I'VE must pick up the torch
where he dropped it and carry it
on, This is vital to our country
and to mankind"
