Facsimile Of Last Memorandum Of
Colonel Roosevelt, PenclIed a Few
Hours Before He Died.

view the country and the Republican
party are indebted for the publication
of this interesting document which car
ries a message from him "who, being
dead, yet speaketh." In the leading
article OF the current number of the
North American Review Colonel Har-
vey sets forth the vital import Of this
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
i'm the form of memorandum for the
brilliant young man for whose selec-
ton as Chairman of the National or
ganization he was largely responsible,
were these, as reproduced above In
facsimile:
"Hays

for 10 days; see Senate and House;
prevent split on domestic policies
Here is evidenced as clearly as II the
few words filed volume Mr.. Roose-
velts realization OF both his RESPONSE
billty and his obligation. The simple
memorandum marked the Inauguration
of definite party policy. to be carried
through to no less definite conclusion.
1t was more than passing thought or
a mere suggestion. Ii was a Message,
signifying the need of immediate and
unremitting vigilance In achieving
complete unity of action In resolving
domestic problems before attacking
those of wider range soon to be thrust
upon the country-a true soldiers call
first TO close the ranks.
Nothing could be more Characters
tic or more clearly illustrative of the
breadth of vision, the foresight, the
dlrectness in method and the painstak
ing attention of the man. Nothing,
too, probably could have served his
purpose better than that these words
should have been his last. Difficult as
II is to reconcile oneself TO the decree
OF Divine Providence that the re
moval OF that great patriot at this cru
clal moment was not untimely, we can
not but realize, as he would have been
the first TO acknowledge, that the last
vestige OF anlmosities which might
have continued TO impair his highest
aspirations was buried with him, and
thereby the perfect union which he SC
ardently desired against all things un-
American was attained.
"Thus we find the Republican party
resumlng full legislative authority
thoroughly united and invlgorated by
the peculiar confidence which SO often
carried II to victory in former years.

ROOSEvELTS DEPARTING
WORDS TO HIS C0UNTRYMEN

Col. Roosevelt died about O'Clock
on the morning OF January O. The
previous evening at a great patriotic
rally In the New York Hippodrome a
message was read from him, written
especially for the occasion. In II was
this striking sentence:
1--WE have room for but one flag. the
American flag. and this excludes the
red flag. which symbolizes all wars
against liberty and civilization Just AZ
much as II excludes any foreign flag
OF a nation TO which We are hostile,
and we have room for but one
soul loyalty, and that 10 loyalty to the
American people"
