Seeing the Side of IRIS Character
Which His Wife and Children Knew


Only during the past summer after the soul of
Theodore Roosevelt had taken its flight and his
mortal remains had been laid in the cold ground have
the American people realized the greatness of this
strenuous kindly leader who for nearly forty years
had fought the battles of his country and had always
fought fair. They had known all along of his great
deeds. but these. done in the fierce scrimmage of
controversy had been the subject of attack by those
whose feelings had been hurt by his hewing to the
line.
But now that he is no longer here to take credit
or blame they are learning of the real Roosevelt;
seeing the side of his character which his wife and
children and those permitted personal acquaintance
with him knew all the time but which was hidden
from the public, to whom he was only statesman
and hero.
Recently there has been published many of the
letters this great American wrote to his children
letters cherished by them. but which during his life
time could not have been revealed except intimates
of the family In these letters TO his boys and
girls. dearer to him than any one else in the world
blood of his blood and flesh of his flesh is revealed
the greatness of the man.
Critics of Theodore Roosevelts public career have
always objected to his preaching" but one would
look in vain for any preaching in these letters 10

would interest them: told stories of everyday occur

Pierre, s. D.-South Dakota's

projects. favored by the recent leg
islature may not be developed for
two or three years.
Probably the biggest project is
development of water-power on the
upper Missouri River. The legisla-

sion will make a detailed investiga-
tion that may take most of the two
years before another session of the
legislature.

of the State may he the last of the
three TO be tackled by the State.
Transportation will be the biggest
problem in developing State owned

EXPECT BETTER
LAWS oNLAB||0R |
Congressman Study Report
of International Peace
Committee.

All labor legislation arising in the
forthcoming special session of Con-
gress Is expected to be modelled in
conformity with the basic ideas ex-
pressed In the report of the interna-
tional labor legislation committee Of
the Peace Conference.
Copies OF this report are being
given careful study by members of
Congress who have sponsored labors
demands in the past, because the
next year will see the transition OF
labor from a war to peace basis, and
many difficult problems are expected
Foremost among the latter Is the
right Of women to equal pay with
men when they perform a like
amount of work. The National War
Labor Board has given this principle
the stamp OF its approval, and 1t may
become before Congress proper for
consideration when the joint commit
tee OF the House and Senate takes up
the reclassification of government
employees. Congress, without doubt.
will accept the ruling of the Labor
Board, and its recognition would go
a long way toward compelling all in
dustry to admit the justice OF the
case of women.
A nationwide minimum wage law
may be one outgrowth OF the Paris
report, which demands a wage ade-
quate enough to supply the necessi-
ties of life in accordance with the
civilization of the workers lifetime.
Though the next Congress may not
provide legislation to this effect, the
recommendation of the labor commit
tee will always be beacon in labor s
progress, and succeeding Congresses
will have to consider II.

SHIPS ARE MENACED
BY FLOATING MINES
20 Years Required to Clear Allan
tic of War Devices.

Paris. April Cby maiD.-Atlantic
navigation will be threatened for at
least twenty years to come by floating
mines, according to the Prince of
Monaco, who ranks as one of the
greatest ocean scientists in the world.
After months of careful study. the
Prince has just made a report to the
French Academy.
The mines which have escaped from
the English channel all follow a ten
dency to pass into the Gulf Stream.
At once they begin a journey which
will carry them along the French.
Sapnish and Portuguese coasts to the
Canary Islands. then TO the West In
dies and the Gulf of Mexico, from
where they will begin their return
journey to the English channel, by
way of the Bermudas, Azores and
Madeira. Four years will be required
for the mines to complete this jour
ney, but as the prince estimates that
many of them will have an explosive
life of at least twenty years. they
will have an opportunity thus of COM
pleting the circuit five times before
they finally give up the ghost. unless
in the meantime they should strike a
ship.
