ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL
AMERICANISM.

Ny dear People Of Iberia Parish:
The undersigned has accepted
the Parish Craftsmanship of the
Roosevelt Memorial Association,
and it devolves upon those who
have consented to assist him in
this worthy undertaking to solicit
membership for and utilization
with the Association. The sub,
scription is any amount which you
desire to donate; and the dona-
ton will be recognized and GER
tificate of membership issued by
the Association.
This is not political nor a re.
Iigious movement. 1t is not even
necessary TO erect a memorial to
Roosevelt. The services rendered
by this great soldier, citizen,
statesman, historian, naturalist
and above all true American,
stand as a memorial on which
Americans for all time to come
will live and feed.
This memorial is to be built to
remind man of Roosevelt's vir-
tues. and to comply with popular
demand for some material SYM
Dol evidenced by the thousands OF
pilgrims who daily visit his last
resting place.
But above all. this movement
has been started and is being car
ried to success with the single
object Of making drive, in these
turbulent and chaotic times. for
straight unadulterated American
ism, Of the character Of Roose-
velt's Americanism.
He is no more a living factor to
help rec onstruct social, industrial
and economical conditions. His,
presence would be a powerful fac
tor in the solution of our present
complex problems. And since
there is such need Of safe and
sane consideration Of and respect
fer the great principles of the
Federal Constitution. the move
ment for Roosevelt Memorial is,
really a drive on simon-pure
Americanism.
Conditions confronting the,
American people are alarming.
in the entire world they are de-
plorable; but we should not ove:-
look our own problems. We shall,
otherwise, be drawn over the same
precipice. 4
In the world to-day discomfort
is rampant, distrust universal,
thrones lettering. republics quak-.
ing. commerce chaotic, industry
disorganized, morality white-faced
with fear, and millions Of red
dageers at the throat Of religion,
the whole world seems to be
plungine for hell.
There are only few in America
who subscribe to the universal
discord. and il, is up to the true
American to take q decided posi-
ton for peace, order, justice and
all that our Constitution stands
for,
New Iberia enterprise and independent observer. (New Iberia, La.) 1902-1944, 1919-10-25

All patriotic and fraternal
orders should take immediate ac-
ton and express the manly and
patriotic position which some
have already assumed.
We should all in America re-
new, as it were, our oath of al
! legiance to Government and Ma
ton, as so ably advocated by the
Grand Lodge Convention Of the
Benevolent and Protective Order
of Elks. in July, 1919, at Atlantic
City. reading as follows:
81 believe in the United States
of America as Government Of
the people, by the people, for the
people; whose just powers are de-
rived from the consent of the gov
erned; q democracy in a republic;
sovereign nation of many SOW
ereign States; a perfect union,
one and inseparable; established
upon those principles of freedom,
equality, justice, and humanity
for which American patriots sac
rified their lives and fortunes.
therefore believe it is my duty
to my country to love it; to sup
port its Constitution; to obey its
laws: to respect its Flag; and to
defend it against all enemies"
Let us not only renew this
solemn promise, but let us live up
to it.
Theodore Roosevelt 3 life should
be an inspiration to us all, for his
Americanism was always his NOV
ing spirit. The National Council
of Boy Scouts of America. at
their annual meeting in 1919. rec
ognized that fact by adopting the
following resolution:
"He was found faithful over .
few things, and he was made ruler
over many; he cut his own trail
clean and straight and millions
followed him toward the light.
He was frail; he made himself
q tower of strength. He was
timid; he made himself lion of
courage. He was dreamer; he
became one Of the great doors Of
all time.
Men put their trust in him !,
women found a champion in him
kings stood in awe Of him, but
children made him their play
mate.
He broke a nations slumber
with his cry, and it rose up. He
touched the eyes Of blind men
with q flame and gave them vision.
Souls became swords through
him; swords became servants Of
God.
He was loyal to his country,
and he exacted loyalty; he loved
many lands, but he loved his own
land best.
He was terrible in battle. but
tender to the weak joyous and
tireless, being free from self-pity
clean with a cleanness that
cleansed the air like a gale.
His courtesy knew no wealth
or class; his friendship, no creed
or color or race. His courage
stood every onslaught Of savage
beast and ruthless man, Of lone
illness Of victory, Of defeat. His
mind was eager. his heart was
true, his body and spirit defiant
Of obstacles. ready to meet what
might come.
He fought injustice and ty-
rannv; bore sorrow gallantly !;
loved all nature, bleak spaces and
hardy companions, hazardous adj
venture and the zest Of battle.
Wherever he went, he carried his
own pack, and in the uttermost
parts Of the earth he kept his con-
science for his guide. -
This is movement wherein
patriotic citizens Of all creed and
political thought, citizens Of good
and patriotic impulse, are deSot-
ling their time and energy in
furthering.
Our people should respond lib
erallv and any one who sdmires

power to speed up construction work,
realizing hat the need for buildings
and the variety of industries reached

Before he retired, Secretary McAdoo
stated that he regards the reviv>l of
the construction industry as essential
to the country's welfare In IT'S tram

Wfe Department of Labor has or

At the same time, the government

that such q course would probably

Murphy, chairman and director OF the

Labor in charge of. the "own your

annual convention of the National
Association of Real Estate Boards
that the movement had caught on
in 200 cities in thirty-eight different
States. The result was, he said, that
building permits for h months OF

there would be a famine in housing

it was first announced. -

in the building costs. While some of
this may be laid to the increased
costs of building materials the great
err proportion must be attributed to
an unmistakable boon in building OPP
erations. Manufacturers and money
lenders throughout the state have
realized that it is next to hopeless to
expect a material come down in the
cost of building materials, lumber,
steel, iron, structural material, brick
and cement. AS a result they have
commenced a construction plan, the
first indication of the results of which
are freshadowed in the report from
cities throughout the State.
In only three of the cities in which
reports were filed are there any de-
creases, those being Jersey City, Eliz-
abeth and Atlantic City. The other
cities to report gains are Newark,
East Orange, Camden, Paterson, Tren-
ton. Passaic, Hoboken and Bayonne.
