Theodore Roosevelt.

There passed yesterday into history
the man who, probably, more than
any other American active during
the period between LINCOLN and VIII
son has influenced the course of do
nestle policy in the United States ::
and who certainly AZ much as any
other man that ever lived, has typi-
fed to many millions of his fellow
countrymen and to the world in gen.
cral the ideal of yirile, one hundred
ler cent. Americanism.
Nearly score of years ago, when
Colonel ROOSEVELT WAS Governor Of
New York and before the nomina-
ton for Vice President which was in.
tended to shelve him forever as n
potent force in the old Republican
organization. THE Sun attempted to
measure him as human quantity,
and its early attempt at personal
mea surement was this:
ROOSEVELT is no hero or genius, but
tust a fine, brave. hearty. honest, manly
fellow, trained In many schools of life,
absolutely American. ambitious with a
high ambition, and having a singular
gift for inspiring personal liking or
disliking. as the case may be. There
is nothing OF the dummy or wax figure
about him. You may swear by him or
you may swear at him, but you can't
be Indifferent about him. He owes al
most as much To his enemies as to his
friends. Newspapers have tried TO write
him down. He has been sneered at
Z jumped upon. mathematical. He has
never held any but subordinate offices
+ until he was Governor, and yet. by per-
severance. by industry. by main pluck
and essential energy, he became n lead
z ing figure in the public eye, n man to
be reckoned with. Reformers and ma
chinists have had their quarrels witt
him. Mugwump and unregenerate fists
have been shaken in his face. all the
time he has been pegging away at some,
thing worth doing. and has tried to dc

The Maid Of France.

Above a fruited orchard
THE angels watched for aid,
they called peasant spirit
To save tho land betrayed
For msrtyrdom and triumph
They recognized The Maid
She won her mighty battles
Five centuries sgone.
Through smoke and flame and torment
Her valiant soul passed on
Again on France imper!lled
There broke a bloody dawn.
To heaven from their orchards
The peasants called for aid;
Men heard her charger gallop
And saw her shining blade,
For martyrdom and triumph
They recognized The Maid
God send The Maid no longer
Must ride upon her quest,
God grant her peaceful season
In Paradise the blest
Where neither men nor angels
shall cnll her from her rest

CONFISCATION.
Its Bearing Depends on Whose Prop.
erty Is Taken Over.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: The
gentle art OF Confiscation, which goes
VI der different catchwords. but which
is usually getting something for nothing,
seems TO be in popular favor these days.
1t all depends. of course, on whose goods
and whose properties are condscated.
As long as II Is the other fellows goods
or some one else's properties We are not
particularly alarmed and unduly excited
II tho so-called taking over on the
grounds of alleged public welfare means
the virtual confiscation Of my goods and
my properties. I am at once deeply af-
fected. call il an outrage. | make
threats Of what will or will not do
II have the time and the money
defend my rights and thus get into a
lawsuit which may last as Ion" as

For example I do not strongly object
to prohibition legislation because il does
rot affect me either in my livelihood or
In my pocketbook But II ! were thrown
out OF my way of making a living. and
IL l had my money invested in vine
yard or a winery, or a brewery, or a
distillerv. or a hotel, the value of which
would be ruined or deprecated by pro-
hibition. I would at once be aroused, and
] would probably have different idea
OF the gentle art Of coufisCation.
Hence II seems to me that a great
deal of recent legislation in this country
which has been passed on the alleged
ground of public welfare, is preparing
the way for much more confscation--
for the taking over OF vast properties
with or without just compensation. II
one kind of property can he taken. why
not another kind? Who can or will dare
draw the line? Whether 1t be the Pro
hibitionists or whether II be other re-
formers who get their way, the result
is the same, r. NJ. WILLIAMS.

New Railway Routes in southern
Europe.

The establishment of an express
train connection between Paris and
Athens. which is announced from
Paris, Is an interesting detail in the
work Of the reconstruction OF the
railway systems of Europe. The direct
connection between Paris and Athens
is made possible by the building of
Il railway about seventy miles long
from the northern terminus of the
Greek railway system at Larissa TO
the road northward from Salonica
through the Nardar valley. This con-
Meeting link, impossible rs long as
the Turks held Macedonia, WINS com
pleted in 1915 and provided direct
approach long desired by Greece 10
Central Europe. The operation of the
road, however. was necessarily de-
layed by the war.
The connection with Athens Is only
one of the advantages wrought by this
new route. What western Europe
seeks Is another road to the Near East
y substitute for the Orient lines, which
before the war had the monopoly Of
land travel and traffic. The capital
operating and owning these lines was
almost entirely German or Austrian,
tie bulk of the stock hcing held in
Vienna, and the route from Paris anu
London to the Balkans and Turkey
was across German and Austrian ter
ritory. The control of the Central
Powers over this route gave them n
strong political influence in south
eastern Europe.
Austria was especially Jealous in
using the hold which she had upon
the Orient road In tho furtherance of
her financial and political interests.
After the Balkan war she took over
the control of the Serbian line from
Belgrade to Salonica. She refused
10 sanction the building Of any rail
way from the Adriatic to the interior
If the Balkan region. In this way
she cut of any speedy means of COM
munlcation between the Serbs in
Serbia and the Serbs of the western
Balkans. She forced travellers from
the .Adriatlc coast region to make use
of Austrian railways from Trieste,
Fiume or Bosnia Brod across Aus
TRAN territory to reach Serbia, the
eastern Balkans or Turkey.
- ~ n
Greece Is across France, Italy, Jugo-
Slavia and Serbia. The present en-
trance to the Balkans is through Bel
grade: but the full plans evidently
consider the building of the road al
ready surveyed from the Save south
ward across Novi Bazar and the COM
pletlon of the lines from Serbia west.
ward to Adriatlc ports. This would
afford opportunity for the develop
ment Of the western Balkans, which
Austrian sclf-interest had in the past
hindcred.
In the hroadeSt sense the route IL
step to the completion Of a linz
from western Europe to The East
Athens or its port the Piraeus. Of
fers an easy approach to Alexan
lretta. on the Asia Minor coast
which the Germans had expected tc
make into n great entry port for the
Bagdad railway. The route advances
the plans which the Allied nations
have formulated for direct line
from Paris or Frances Atlantic sea
board to Odessa and southern Rus
Sia, a route which would give western
/ Europe an access outside Of German
territory and Independent of Ger
man tribute and influence to land

bilities of trade and commerce.

them the Rockefeller Foundation AMI
the large Industrial associations: bus
the Labor Federation is prepared to
make "A strong fight for their adop-
tion. in accordance with the ins,ruc-
TONS of tho ffty-ffth annual Con-
vcntion Of the Federation. which
unanimously indorsed them.
The principal contest is expected
to come on n bill to repeal tho State
law granting a charter to the Rookie
teller Foundation and General Edu-
cation Board. Organized labor's rca-
son for demanding this. as explained
by Chairman Brady and concurred in
by President Holland. is that
Organized labor demands the re-
peal OF this charter because the
Rockefeller organizations have at
tempted 70 control education gcncr-
ally throughout the United States.
Through holding charter from New
York state, people in other States as
well as this state are led TO believe
that the Rockefeller Foundation and
General Education Board is unde-
regulatory state supervision, and
that tho schemes which they promul-
gate from time to time for the con-
troll OF education have the official ap-
proval Of New York state"
On this subject the Committee on
Education report says:
I'VE warn the trades unionists and
working people generally to be on
the alert and extremely careful OF
the Rockefeller and other selfish
moreyed interests, that :hcy do not
