party are indebted for the publication
of this interesting document which car

article of the current number Of the
North American Review Colonel Har-

last penciled notation of Mr.. RoOse-
welt. He says:
Mr.. Roosevelt died the acknoWl-
edged leader of the great party into
which he was born. His last written
words, penciled by his own hand few
hours before his death and addressed
in the form of a memorandum for the
brilliant young man for whose selec-
ton as Chairman of the National or
ganizaton he was largely responsible,
were these, as reproduced above In

for 10 days; see Senate and House;

Here is evidenced as clearly as II the
few words filed volume Mr.. Roose-
velt's realization Of both his RESPONSE
blllty and his obligation. The simple
memorandum marked the inauguration
of definite party policy, to be carried
through to a no less definite conclusion.

signifying the need Of immediate and

breadth Of vision, the foresight, the

Of Divine Providence that the re,

not but realize, as he would have been
the first to acknowledge that the last
vestige of anImOsitles which might
have continued to impair his highest
aspirations was buried with him, and
thereby the perfect union which he SO
ardently desired against all things I'M

to the fixing of prices of basic commodities has met with
an insuperable obstacle The government it seems

by government departments. The Navy Department is
required to purchase supplies through competitive bid

identical bids.
Again it is found that at least important agency
If the government is already purchasing steel at figure
considerably under the price recently agreed upon The
railroad administration refuses to buy the price fixed
for the very good that it is buying at cheaper
price Inasmuch as it is the heaviest buyer of steel in the
United States its acceptance of the higher price would
make the situation worse instead of lettering it. Why the
industrial board did not bring steel prices down to the
figure at which the rearoad administration buys steel is
not yet clear.
If Congress were in session, effort might be made
to remedy this situation by giving the executive blanket
authority to buy at prices ascertaned through the indus
trial board But even if Congress here it would find
the problem brstng with difficulties and these diff
