ROOSEVELTS GOLDEN PEN.
lRalti1nQre SNn J

Few American presidents have been wealthy
when they assumed office; few have left office
much better off than when they entered it. few
have died more than moderately weil-to-do.
Colonel Roosevelt, it seems, was half million
aire and the great proportion of this comfort
able sum was the product of his pen. Possibly
he saved something from his income as presl-
dent but the White House is not a cheap place
to live and it takes thrifty man to lay by any
thing from the salary, large as it seems to the
ordinary person If he had chosen to do so he
could have commanded positions after he left
Washington which would have paid him much
more than the presidential remuneration, and
which would have afforded him legitimate op
portunities for becoming very wealthy. But he
had hit "big business too often with his big
stick to care to go into partnership with it. and
he had q shrewd notion he would hit it again.
So he fell back on words for living, and he
made each one of his literary words extremely
valuable.
Comparatively few professionals have made
literature pay 50 well as did Colonel Roosevelt,
who made It only sort Of side issue Richard
Harding Davis when he died year or two ago
had saved only about fifteen thousand dollars
in spite Of his wide popularity and almost con-
stant devotion to his work And what was true
Of him has been true Of the great majority of
writers. Colonel Roosevelt, could Of course,
command larger figures than most men be
cause he had been president and because 1t was
possible he might be again. The market value
of his wares was enhanced by the past fact and
the future possibility. But. even without this,
he would have been sure of remunerative prices
because he offered something really worth
while and because there was comparatively lit
tie competition.
Whatever he did Mr. Roosevelt did with all
his might He could not do anything except
with his whole heart. He got as much excited
over point in natural history as point in ma
tional history; it was as important TO him, while
he was engaged in the matter to get the small
est sort Of bird right as it was at other times
to keep the American eagle right. His capacity
for enthusiasm was boundess it mastered him
and gave him the mastery Of others, This is one
OF thc lessons Of Roosevet's life, and it is worth
studying.

IDAHO PLANS
RECLAMATION OF
ARID LANDS

Boise, Idaho, Feb. 1-State and
federal cooperation under favorable
laws in the making may result dur
ing the next biennium in the recla-
nation of 100000 acres of Idaho
land for the benefit of returning sol.
diers and sailors. This is 100000
acres more than has ben placed un-
der irrigation in the state in the last
decade, and includes practically all
the states remaining irrigable un-
developed land.
Thre methods of financing at pres
ent regulate the growth of irrigation
projects in Idaho. but changes to
make settlement easier for the re-
turning soldier and sailor probably
will be made. Modification of the
Carey Act as administered by the
state may be one of the changes.
Under the district plan, settlers
may organize as municipal corpora
tion and float bonds to finance con-
struction of an irrigatioi system.

The sales have not increased in proportion
with the result that we are facing retrograd
movement in our record with regard to thes
little bonds While most stamp owners prob
ably do not look at it in that light, what the.
are actually doing when they cash thrift stamps

y over. The peace treaties have not even beer
urawn up, let alone signed.
! American soldiers many California soldiers
are still marching into Germany and it is less
than two months since the armistice agreement
was reached. Daily lists of dead and wounded
| are coming overseas, among them the occasion
al report of an Ell Centre or Imperial Valley boy
who fell in action died from wounds.
But already thousands of persons have for
gotten their share of the burden. They are cut
ting loose in whatever way they may from help
ing win the war. 1t is scarcely creditable that
they realize just what their action means.
When stamps and bonds were purchased it
was done at some sacrifice. 1t was not intended
that the sacrifice should end when the fighting
ceased. There is no mystic virtue in peace that
pays all bills without more todo. Sacrifice does
not end for the soldiers with laying down OF
arms. Thousands of them will not cease sacri-
ficng until their crippled, manned bodies are
still in death. And even then, it may be, ther
sacrifice will go on through a posterty handi-
capped by the handicap of the father. 1t docs
not end now for mothers and fathers whose sons
will not return, nor for whole nations plunged in
to poverty and want by the fighting
But for us, who went without some little lux
ury to buy few thrift stamps, or curtailed the
wardrobe perhaps, to purchase Liberty Bonds,
there offers the tempting way of escape from
further participation in the effort by cashing in
our holdings. Not to do SO would mean con-
tlnued self denial and many are not willing to
deny themselves. They want the old easy ways
Of living, the absence of feeling of acute patr
otic responsibility and they seize on the oppor-
5unity.
The sacrifice of war is not yet over. Now is |
lot the time to redeem United States war secur-
ties. When Uncle Sam can do so without hamp- |
ring his operations, he will call them in him |

Successive revolutions which have
held Mexico in the throes since Por-

have not greatly disturbed Lower

brought about changing administra-

Gave His Wife a Christmas Present.

Gave His Wife a Christmas present
We heard the other day that there
was a gentleman in this town who had
given his wife a Christmas present.
That statement is not remarkable IN
itself. All good men should do that,
and we have no doubt that all the
men of Newberry who have wives
remember them at this Cchlstmas
time, and if they do not they should.
But this one to which we refer was
rather a novel present, and yet it
carried with it the utilitarian idea
and the idea of industry. We do not
know who the man is, nor are we
vouching for the truth of the story,
but it comes to us very straight, that
it is a fact. He must be blessed
with a very good wife, or at least
she has him laboring under a good
and proper authorization, and she
must possess a very even temper, as
most of the good wives in Newberry
do, because if she is not so endowed
this good husband has not been a
reader of bringing Up Father" be-
cause they say that the present which
he has selected as Christmas gift
for his wife is a rolling pin and a
bread board or dough board.

The Newberry District A. M. E.
Church Honors its, Presiding
Elder, Rev. J. E. Thomas.


The members and friends of the
Newberry district A. M. E. church
gave a Banquet Thursday evening,
December 4, in Williams Hall in
honor CT the Rev. J. E. Thomas, A.
B., presiding elder of the district, who
is completing his fifth year as the
head of the district.
Preceding the banquet a literary
program was rendered in Miller
Chapel church which consisted of ad-
dresses, solos, ETC., by the ministers
of the district, laymen, missionary
ladies and visiting friends. Each
paid glowing tribute to the P. E. for
his progressiveness, piety, sane lead
ership and Christian integrity.
The district, under Rev. Thomas
has made substantial increase in all
of it's phases since he came back five
years ago. From a financial view it's
increase has been over 400 per cent.
while it's membership has almost
doubled. Five years ago it stood at
the bottom of the list of the five dis
tricts of the Piedmont Annual con-
ference, but today it leads. Hence
it was for this reason that the ban
quet was given him out of respect f9r
the many accomplishments which he
so nobly planned and executed dur
ing his administration.
By term limitation, he leaves the
district, but carries with him the best
wishes of the ministers, members, and
friends for his continued success IN
his new field of labor.
A purse was given him as token
of respect and esteem in which he is
held bv his constituents.
