The Roosevelt Memorial

The movement for the construction of
great monument to Theodore Roosevelt en-
comprising thought which has never been out
of the mind of America since his death, is now
reaching the point of organization for the COL
lection of the subscriptions which we have no
doubt will be gladly made. The sum of $5000-
600 is tentatively fixed as the amount to be
called for, and a systematic campaign along the
lines that proved so successful during the war
will be made to raise the fund. Certain quotas
will be assigned to the states and to the cities
for collection and as those campaigns during
the war were competitions in patriotism so this
one, we are sure. will be competition of love
For Theodore Roosevelt more than any man of
his time inspired the affection of the people of
America. He was essentially one of the peo-
pie, one whom every man could look upon as
brother Although he came of an aristocratic
family there was no affectation in this. There
was nothing of the demagogue in Roosevelt
He did not stoop to the people; he embraced
them on their own level, which was the level
OF his sincere desires To him there was no
higher honor than to be an American, and he
sought always and in manifold ways, to ad
vance the interests of America and of Amer-
cans.
Every day thousands of people visit his
grave at Oyster Bay, which has become in a

Gratis, or republicans who opposed him, not to
speak of the great number of women and chill
dren to most of whom he was simply great
American. Here perhaps will be erected the
great monument. The location is yet to be de-
olded upon, and for national reasons it may be
! that Washington will be preferred but there
is much to be said in favor of Oyster Bay. The
| form of the monument too, is a matter still to
be settled, and that is question that will not
be easy to decide But whatever it is, and
wherever it may be, it will be fitting one, and

"OLD BATTLEFIELDS."

Long years of peace have stillsd the battle
thunder.
wild grasses CULVER where the fight was
won;
Masses OF blossom, lightly blown asunder.
Drop down white petals on the silent
gun;
For life is kind, and sweet things grow
unbldden,
Turning the scenes Of strife to bloomy
bowers;
One only knows what secrets may be hid
Beneath his cloud Of flowers.
Poor heart, above thy field Of sorrow
signing
For smitten faith. and hope untimely
slain:
Leave thou the soil wherein thy dead are
lying
To the soft sunlight and the cleansing
rain:
Love works In silence, hiding all the
traces
OF bitter conflict on the trampled sod,
And time shall show thee all life's battle
places,
Yelled by the hand Of God.

Need for Social Reorganization.

A recent examination of the sub
ject Of fatigue locates this sensation
in the cells of the nervous system
and not in the muscles. An explana-
ton Is thus at once forthcoming of
the phenomenon often observed
casually that, while great exhaus-
ton is being experienced in the per-
Torrance of one task, new task, no
less laborious, can be taken up with
enthusiasm. The tired feeling dis
appears. The muscles are braced
anew.
What has happened is that a new
set of nerve cells have been called
into operation. The man has es-
capped from monotony: in variety he
finds spice for effort
There can be little doubt that this
truth affords an explanation OF the
remarkable wave of depression
which is evident in certain direc-
tons and also Of the remarkable
outbreak of pleasure The
war, with all its danger, was not
monotonous. Then the very air was
charged with possibilities these
stimulating the human brain. Then
men lived from hour to hour. using
a hundred paths Of the brain in as
MANY minutes. ll0 kdlelUOScODe OF
life was gay with many colors.
Now it is home again to routine
that used to be bearable, but Is bear
able no longer. Exhaustion follows,
because the path" of nervous SEN
satlon is overtrodden. Life seems
dull, aimless, Improbable. Tempers
grow irritable, gloom descends. The
next stage Is a craving for change,
for excitement. Longing eyes are
turned to the army again--it Is a
remarkable fact that whereas not
one soldier in 10 saluted an officer
in London just after the armistice,
now scarcely one in 10 fails to
salute.
The remedy lies, perhaps. in fac
ing the facts. The kind Of domestic
life which was lived before the war
may be too drab for this new age.
1t may lack emotional and intellec-
tual stimulation. There is need, at
any rate, for cheaper, better, and
more accessible amusement. The
movement to establish theaters near
the homes Of the people deserves to
be encouraged. There is need, too,
for an extension of restaurant facili-
ties in the neighborhood of those
homes. The charm and value of
the French system in this respect
is that a new stimulus is supplied
at the end of the working day

THE MOTE AND THE BEAM.

Omaha has been the subject OF an immense
amount OF editorial discussion throughout the
land during the last two weeks. One unvarying
note ran through the whole lot of lectures en-
gendered by the riot Omaha has been re-
minded Of the sanctity Of human life, the maj
esty of the law, the inhuman element of the
mob, and generally drenched with the contents
of moral fire extinguishers, and left standing to
dry as best it might, while the commentators
turn to other tasks, content with having pol
ished off the offending community in the high
est style Of the art No finer example of the
mote and the beam could be asked than the
spectacle of Chicago, Boston, Washington, St.
Louis and other such cities rebuking Omaha
because of the mob outbreak. Omaha's chief
culpability lies in the fact, lamentable enough
because of ample warning given, that it was
not ready with proper force to meet the dis
order. Other cities have not so wilfully neg
lected provisions for protection.
Careful perusal of the multiplied platitudes
leaves the thoughtful hungry for some really
solid meat. In all the wilderness of words
shed around and over Omaha in this time OF
need, aside from the general and easily admin
stered advice to behave in the future and not
allow such thing to happen again, no help
full hint is noted-no suggestion that may lead
to a solution of the great problem.
1t is we'll to keep in mind that Omaha is
not the first American city to be so disgraced
nor is it at all likely that it will be the last
From pulpit and rostrum from legislative halls
and council chambers, from all avenues of or
gained expression, come forth admonition
against the mob, yet every now and then the
world is shocked by terrible demonstration
of the uncontrolled force of populace mad
dened beyond endurance by some outrage.
Can this be stopped by reiteration of any
one of the moral or legal formulas now pre-
scented? 1t might, if better way OF getting at
the root of the trouble were found A healthier
and liveer concern of the average man in pub
lie affairs, even to the neglect of some of his
personal concerns is one means through which
remedy may be applied. So long as men are
willing to let civic duty wait on private occu-
patton wnkng at shortcomings of government
that do not touch them directly, just that long
will there be danger of the mob Omaha is not
alone in this, and no assumption of the Phari-
sees position on part of any will aid in eradi-
eating an evil so general Individual RESPONSE
bty must be accepted if good government is
TO prevail at all times, with respect for law
and under its reasonable and equal enforce
ment
