for our country when the people shall
forget to honor their illustriOus dead.

campaign. The mere fact of calling
attention in these trying times to
Theodore Roosevelt, and the Prinei'
ples for which he stood, will itself
help to improve the general situation

Memorial Fund without pointing out
the things associated with Roosevelt
name. and those are the things mos
needed now in our national life. NJ
one can give to that fund without re
calling to himself the sturdy Amer
eanism, the doctrine Of the square deal

of contributors shall be as large a
possible. The larger the number whie

prise, the more hopeful viii it be 70
