to our country which were held by
Theodore Roosevelt the greatest
American of our time
THE most wonderful thing that
ever happened in times of peace to
the ideas and the ideals Of this United
States was Theodore Roosevelt. He
was a shock, then a wonder, then a
hope, and then leader, and finally

city and then to a state and then to a
nation, all deaf with the din of ma
terial success and numb to the cor
rupt practices of politics. He spoke
past them to patriotism daunted and
cowed by the hopelessness of situa-
ton that had long been endured. III
was not his purpose to reform the
world single handed, nor to reform il
at all, but by the time he hal served
as police commissioner of the City of
New York and brooked no interfer-
ence In its administration, and had
taught New York state how a real
governor should act and had gone to
the White House with the largest ma
jority president has ever had, the
in every city and village of our coun-
try the people took hope and the
characterization of our politics be-
gan. OF him it may be truly said:
that he was fit and ready for all
spots and crises, prompt and busy IN
affairs, gentle among little children,
self-relant in danger genial in COM
pany, sharp in the jury box tenacious
and ready to speak out in a town
meeting, unseducibe in a crowd, ten
der at sick bed not likely to jump
into the first boat in ship wreck af-
fectionate and respectful at home,
obliging in travelling party, reverent
and punctual at the church, brave in
action, patient in suffering, believing
and cheerful everywhere fervent in !
