Not Partisan But American

It would hardly necessary to repeat that the Roosevelt Memorial Association movement is non-partisan. The members of the association republicans and democrats. Democrats and repub- licans throughout the country engaged in the campaign for membership. One of the foremost workers in the state of California is Gavin McNabb, a leading democrat And in own state. Mulford Winsor, democrat of democrats, is heartily taking part in the membership campaign
 Roosevelt, it is true, a republican and the republican party better for that fact. He would have been of equal service to the country working through the democratic party. Party to him only means of accomplishing that which had been set for him to do.
 He assailed evil wherever he found it, in his own party or in the democratic party All men who stand for the right, may claim party membership with Theodore Roosevelt, just all of all parties have for years, turned to Abraham Lincoln of whom no thinks republican but as a great statesman and patriot.

SUFFERING IS REWARD
 NOT PUNISHMENT
By the Rev. Charles Sickle

en- lands and sees the faacluily low level of living of the people, suffers mentally more than the natives be- cause he feels" their lacks-they do not know because they have never seen the possibilities for themselves.
 Knowledge always bring pain, but if we were compelled to choose between the "heathen" who are "blissful' be- cause they are ignorant and the mis- sionary who suffers because he knows, we'd choose the lot of the one who suffers.
 Pain is the thermometer of the soul. It is as one grows in his soul-life that pain becomes more intense. The low-lived, coarse and brutal do not notice the things that torture the refined and gentle.
 l The most sensitive soul that ever lived died not because of the spear thrust, but of a broken heart
 Pain is not punishment-it is re- ward.
 | For while the sensitive suffer in | finitely more than those who are bru- talized, they enjoy the heights of hap piness which come only to those whose souls can respond to the finest and purest pleasures of mankind-whose souls can respond to the finest and purest pleasures of mankind-whose souls are in tune with the Infinite

The dull. the stupid, the brutal suf- fer little pain.
 Pain is reserved for the sensitive the refined, the souls made strong through cleansing from dross and coarseness.
 The brutal murderer wipes the red blood of his victim from his blade, smacks his lips after a hearty meal, and goes to sleep without remorse of conscience or suffering of mind, while his innocent mother endures the tor lures of the damned because of the misdeed of her son.
 Between the two, you and I would rather be in the mothers place, even though she spends long nights in weeping and in anguish of soul.
 Without feeling pain for suffering children in sweatshops there would never have been any crusades in their behalf, and often the crusaders felt more keenly the afflictions of these little ones than they did themselves, for the children had become supplied because of their surroundings.
 Pain suffered by the sensitive is re- sponsible for cleaner streets and al- leys, shortened hours of labor, higher rates of pay, the liberation of slaves and the long line of reforms fought for and won by the people.

Our Investment

"The invested capital of American democracy, said Charles E. Hughes the other day, consists in the memory of her great leaders and servants, and among those we put in the foremost rank friend Theodore Roosevelt"
 Mir Hughes believed that there should be constantly impressed upon the succeeding generations of America the habit of thought and the ideals of Roosevelt as he actually was and walked among his .countrymen. In that way he should be kept out of the legendary msts and should be kept before the country so that at all times it might be possible to reconstruct his life Mount Vernon has served that purpose with respect to Washington" And" said MT. Hughes fin future day I have doubt that there will be pilgrimages to Sagamore Hill in equal number with those that are nude to Mount Vernon, and in that community there may gathered various articles which win illustrate his activities and there will be continued the atmosphere of his home and the place where he lived among his neighbors."
 But no monument, pile, nothing build. will do honor to Theodore Roosevelt It is not needed that it should. The monument is for America and Americans. The living obtain help from objects they can visualize and touch
 MT. Hughes further says: You perpetuate memory by monuments; those whose memory will abide need monuments. Nothing ca be done in the way of tributes to the great; they abide because they great they abide because there is something in their influence that humanity needs. There is instinct in humanity which goes out after the food of the soul just as there is instinct in the animal to go out after its natural food Those who have really served. those who have enlarged the conception of what the human mind is capah4e of. those who have really touched the hearts of the and made the people feel that there is a great kin to a-those can never die; and believe that Theodore Roosevelt is one of thoss abiding personalities"

Where The People
 May Have a Hearing

Editor, Republican,
 Phoenix, Ariz.
 Dear Sir:
 Phoenix has now reached the stage where it can justly be called a city. It is growing every day-more and more automobiles are coming in and our traffic laws are at a standstill instead of on the advance. As a dealer and close observer of traffic, l mo- tice one very objectionable mistake that nearly everybody is making and that is parking on the street, two deep. Yesterday I passed the Adams and in two places, cars were parked three deep. The offenders are simply un- thinking-they do not realize that the same old conditions no longer exist that we are not living in a country town, but go into the stores to do their buying, leaving a running motor in the middle of the street. To a person from a city where traffic laws are enforced we are ridiculed and to a person driving through the streets, it is worse than that and extremely dan gerous. I am of the opinion, that if this condition were put before all driv- CTS in it's true light, they would be more than glad to desist from this in- considerate habit of parking in the middle of the street.
 Respectfully,
 LEO WEAVER.

An lnerease of Freight Rates

The refusal of the United States Railroad Ad- mnistration. admitting by inference that freight should be increased, to advance them leaving that to the roads when they returned to private owners, will be serious embarrassment to the private management. The government has greatly increased the cost of operating the roads. Not withstanding the extraordinary advances that have made in freight and passenger rates the roads have been piling up a deficit under government agement. amounting to about sSeO,OOO.O0O year until the first eight months of this year for which it has been reduced to s2e0,0oo,0oO.
 Unless the government is ready to admit that the roads under private management be much more economically and efficiently that further increases of rates will be unnecessary; that is to admit the utter break down and failure of govern nent management it should make these increases for it can do it much easily than the railroads can under private management
 The private owners may receive their roads back in as good shape physically they when they were taken by the government But if they take them back confronted by necessary increase of rates and threatened by demand for sweeping increases of wages, the railroad companies will be in far worse shape than they were when they sur rendered control to the government
 In declining to make this necessary advance of rates and in determining to throw what we may call the opprobrum of advancing rates upon the private owners the government is evading obligation in a cowardly manner. By simple explanation which inc people could be easily made to understand the government could show that reasonable increase of rates would not be burden upon the people which they could feel: it would have perceptble effect upon the cost of living.
 An investigation has shown that the selling price of the commodities carried by the railroads for year ending last June than $63 a ton a total of s63OO0 0e0 900. The increase in freight rates for the same period amount to only 80 cents A ton or $500 900 which happens be about the amount of the of wages the government had allowed railroad employees. Eighty cents ton added be felt if it is passed along equtably the
 We know, though that freight rates often not passed along equitably that they often multiplied and made for unreasonable sxacttons But that is not the fault of the manage rnent of the railroads, either government private The freight except on commodities of comparatively uttIe value and of great weight bulk is really a matter of little concern. It is discrimination in freight rates that we feel and of which we justly complain.
 The increase proposed is from to 25 per cent on the present rates On the basis of the figures ,bove given that would make the total increased freight rate on articles selling at s63 ton from )e cents to $1 ton.
 It does not make any difference to the people bv whom this advance is made But if it is made with the sanction of the government, with the gov

 Tt is said that the music of the carillon is the sweetest that can be played, and it is a music which carries for miles and miles. Hundreds of thousands can hear it at once.

BALD HEADS AT PEACE TABLE
Answers. Londonl

An amusing sidelight on the recent peace conference at Versailles is shown by an American correspondent, who not only reported the proceedings proper, but took notes regarding the hair, mustaches boards and whiskers of the peace makers.
 Two-thirds of the delegates were more or less bald. Perhaps some of them made up for this by wearing mustaches. Out of 65 men who sat around the peace table, all had mus taches but IA.
 Whiskers, on the other hand, were not popular. Only three people wore them, and by curious coincidence, the names of all these three people began with ". They were Venizelos of Greece, Vandervelde of Belgium and Vassitch of Serbia. The latter's whiskers were particular prominent.
 In regard to dress, there was less formal attire than one might have imagined. The English paid no special attention to dress. Bowler hats and frockcoats, once a combination that would never have been sanctioned, were quite popular; but there were some countries which put all they knew into their attire. These were notably, the Japanese, and some of the South American states

TRAVALETTE
By Niksah


 There are plans afoot for the gov ernment to beautify the reservation at Hot Springs, Arkansas, making the place worthy of its position as the great American spa, or healing spring the poor in poularity and fame of the great European baths.
 Many Americans are not aware that Hot Springs is a government reserva- tion. As a matter of fact it is the oldest of the great system of national parks, monuments, reservations and forests which the American people now own. Hot Springs was made a reservation by the government in 1882 in order that the healing properties of the waters might be accessible to all, and not exploited by capital Un- fortunately, the reservation was made only large enough to take in the springs themselves, and the town crowds all about them, when they should be in a center of a great park There is a free bath house, maintained bv the government, and other more elaborate ones operated for profit by concessionaires.
 It is a curious fact that no one has ever been able to discover why the Hot Spring waters are so beneficial They contain no chemicals that are of special value, so far as can be dis, covered. It is claimed by some that radioactivity is the secret of their eff feet. Others say that their benefits are purely imaginary. This can hardly b the case, however, for men have been coming to these springs for hun dreds of years, aha going away feeling stronger and younger. The Indians made them a neutral place in time of war. The early settlers travelled for many days through the wilderness to reach them. They were probably the fountain of youth, rumor of which started Ponce de Leon on his travels. And today, they are one of the favorite recreations and recuperatives of that modern hero. the weary business man.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 22.-A bell tower 300 feet high, which will ring sweet music from 50 metal threats in eternal commemoration of the return of peace, is the latest idea for peace memorial to be erected in Washington.
 This bell tower project is being pushed by the Arts club of Washing ton. One of it's leading sponsors is William Gorham Rice, who has made life study of bell music in general and especially of carillons, as the great tower chimes are called. It is intended to raise s5,000.000 for build ing the tower, for making the bells and for providing a bellmaster of the highest skill, to play and teach this new kind of music in America. The promoters of the project, who are many and of high repute, say there will be no trouble at all about the five
