Welcome Our Boys Home.
(Cordova Times.)


 That was soul-ins2iring song the folks used to sing in the Civil War days in this country-"When Johnny Comes Marching Home"
 It was song of joy and of vigor and of determina- ton albeit somewhat convivia and bibulous, but it expressed in it's words the spirit of the times.
 Alaska should be singing song today, When Our Boys Come Home from France"
 For therein lies Alackas great hope of reiuyena- ton.
 Even if you cant remember the facts, not having been there to witness them, you must have heard your mother tell how waen the boys marching home the whole countryside rose up to oh ser them with songs of gadness and of praise and thanksgiv- ing How the girls cast flowers at their feet, garands about their necks and softer arms
 But you remember how each fellow carried in his pocket not only his honorable discharge but his land grant at well-his soldiers homestead right to 32O acres of public land, without money, without price, without conditions of any sort-what in Italy would be called "princely domain"
 Under the impetus given to it by such generosity and the Territories then settled become the States of today.

Where will they find opportunity for their broadened mines and broadened desires and greater needs to pand and grow and be fulfilled? Where?

A great intellectual light went out and great American statesman and patriotic citizen passed away when former President Theodore Roosevelt died yes terday morning. His life and its achievements are inspiring to all who contemplate them It is not necessary that one should have been in sympathy with his political ambitions supporter Of his po- litca principles and policies to realize that he had been one the three four greatest Americans in public life for of before his death. His exact place the three or four must walt for final decision historians may get the agvantage or perspective which comes only with time.
 Activity of brain. courage, force. energy zeal and determination to impress his will upon others, and have his way among the distinctive char acteristics of this great man. Born weak, and fral throughout the period of his youth, by sheer force of will and industry he made himself strong and VI re and though he died just ten ahead of reach ing the allotted three and ten years. he ac- complished wOndrous amount Of work In the sixty years of his lifetime
 Roosevelt lacked the fxedness the stability of a Washington. the sympathies of Lincoln. the pre- else reasoning of a Jefferson Wilson, but what he lacked in these he made up in large meas ure by intense activity and ambition. Like these men. however, he passionately devoted to his country. to honesty and to square dealing.

 No rail splitter, canal boy or preachers son nearly sef-made man than Roosevelt though he born, to speak. with silver spoon in his mouth His imagination and ambitions were developed young and he seemed to understand from the start that to accomplish must work. The re- suit Is that he in the Legislature at 23. sistant Cabinet Officer at 30, Governor of New York at 70, Vce-President and President at AZ. He is dead at 60 leaving behind him of the most bril- liant public records achieved by American. and leaderless personal following, somewhat less than it when he at the zenith of his career but among the most numerous any public man ever possessed.
 In addition his political activities, he wrote something like half hundred books, was rancher for two years. big game hunter, an explorer in Africa and South America, and of the most pro- lnc lecturers the country has produced
 While it is too to predict what will be the effect of the death of this and ambitious political leader the Amercan political situation. that it will have tremendous effect there is Ques- ton.

INVENTORS AND THE WAR.
