THEODORE ROOSEVELT

Theodore Roosevelt, the greatest
American since Lincoln, is dead. Col,
Roosevelt has been too recently in
political strife to be judged dispas-
sionately as yet but. coming genera
tons will place his name alongside
those of Washington and Lincoln in
the list of American statesmen.
Two great men of the Anglo-Saxon
race fortold the war that has just
ended and the way to meet it. These
two men were Roosevelt and Rudyard
Kipling, Both men repeatedly
warned the English speaking races OF
the danger of idle Boosting Gin the
lee Of the forespent line but their
words went unheeded until the CON
flict broke.
During the past twenty years it has
been notable feature OF American
contemporary history that when a
crisis has come it is found to have
been, in almost every case, foretold
by Mr. Roosevelt in his writings and
public addresses No other American
has ever shown that wonderful ability
in seeing coming events in their
shadows cast before. Whatever opin-
ion one may have held Of his policies
and remedies, no one can deny the
brilliancy of his foresight.
His other most notable characters
tic was his patriotic devotion to his
country. From his earliest manhood
down TO his last illness no loyal free
thinking American has ever doubted
Col. Roosevelt's courage and loyalty
to his country.
Every man, woman and child who
love liberty viii mourn the death and
revere TIE memory Of Theodore
Roosevelt.

The thief who stole pocketbook
from a trunk in the home OF d. G.
Hancock, 427 South Thirteenth street,
evidently needed only twenty dollars.
At least that was all that he took
from the wallet which contained fifty
five dollars in bills.
The family left the house about
7:45 o'clock. the police learned, and
returned in couple of hours, Satur.

found that the house had been enter
ed and the pocketbook had been tax.

On looking around to find some
trace of the robber, the pocketbood
was found in the yard. There was
roll Of bills in it, and when the money
was counted it was discovered that a
twenty dollar bill had been taken
from it, and the rest of the money left
intact.
The police believe the pocketbook
was taken by some one who had inti-
mate knowledge of where the family
kept the money. and some one must
have secured key which would fit
the lock of the trunk.

SAL vATON ARMY DRIVE
WILL BEGIN TOMORROW

to devote more Of his time to the
work in hand, and will not have to
90 out into the realm of money rails
ing as he has had to 40 in the past.
When the. American people have
responded To the present call, the
financial program of the year will
be provided under the single effort.
No more will street cars, saloons,
restaurants, Office buildings and curb
stone be the place of jingling pennies
falling into the tambourines of the
Salvation Army workers. OF course,
the Army has the same reason and
right to take up collections in Its own
meetings, indoor or outdoor, as have
other religious bodies, and at such
meetings the tambourfne instead OF
the basket or the hat may yet be
passed. Also, the Army will not
abandon it's appeal for Christmas
dinner money for the poor at the
holiday season. Santa and the tri-
pod and the bells and kettle still will
call to- the winter crowd in each COM
munityi for that purpose, which the
most prophetic of budgets could
never anticipate, But II still remains
true that the new budgeting plan OF
finance as now announced is to re-
lease. L1t SdlFdClOu ARMY WOIhcIS lOi
real Salvation Army work and pro-
vide thereby a virtuaY doubling OF
their efficiency.
Does this change in the method Of
raising money to support the work
1of the Salvation Army signify any
change in its ideals or It's purposes?
This change in the manner of gath
erfng funds is the only change in the
Salvation Army program. The aims
and ideals of the organization and it's
methods of doing its work remain the
same The Army will seek out the
poor as before; Il will reclaim I'M
fortunate women; it will rehabilitate
disheartened men. 1t will distribute
ice in the summer and fuel and food
in the winter. 1t will send the chill
dren of the city poor and their
mothers to the open places for
breathing spells during the summers
heat It will continue to do the work
it did quietly for over fifty years in
sixty-one countries and colonies be-
fore the war.
