Theodore Roosevelt's body has
been placed at rest in the little cem-
etery between the Sycamore Hill
house, which was his home and the
quiet village of Oyster Bay, and while
he rests in peaceful slumber, when
we stop to consider the strenuous
life which he spent out of pure love
for the people of his country, it would
seem that the nation has lost man
whose life and influence reflected in
reality as sort of balance wheel for
the great machine which we designate
as our government.
Theodore Roosevelt was tireater
and fighter, but he fought for what
he thought was best for the people of
his party and his country. Being Il
politician and a firm believer in his
own convictions, he was naturally at
times severely criticized, but we
doubt if ever man was more sin
cere at heart toward the welfare Of
his fellowman than was Theodore
Roosevelt, and we bow our heads
in reverence to the memory of man
of his class. A great spoke has
been knocked out of the wheel Of
progress, which we trust will be re-
paired, but will not be forgotten.

The possibility Of securing tie loca-

was also discussed, and It is quite
probable that a concern of this kind

In regard to the paving proposition,
gents, there's nothing to it. More
paving is going to be done this year,
and why not. Can any sane man
give a substantial reason for want

ing a decent street on which to live?
The possibility now is that at least
sth and 9Th streets will be paved
this year, the latter from the Science
School to the N. P. depot.
This would be an excellent move,
as 9Th street especially, both north
and south, is sometimes practically
impossible. In connection with this

The Presidents Proclamation

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE following
proclamation on the death of Theodore
Roosevelt was cabled from Paris today
by President Wilson and issued to-
night by the State Department:
Woodrow Wilson, President of the
United States of America:
"A proclamation to the people Of che
United States:
1T becomes my sad duty to an
nounce officially the death of Theodore
Roosevelt, prl lsident Of the United
States from September IA. 1901, to
March 4, 1910, which occurred at his
home at Sycamore Hill, Oyster Bay,
N Y. at 4:l5 o'clock in the morning
|of January 6, 1919. In his death the
United States has lost one of its most
distinguished and patriotic citizens,
who had endeared himself to the peo-
pie by his strenuous devotion to their
interests and the public interests OF
1.-THE country.
"As president of the police board
OF his native city, as member Of the
Legislature and governor of his state.
as civil service commissioner, as as
sistant secretary of the navy. and as
vice president, and as President Of
the United States, he displayed admin
istratfve powers OF signal order and
conducted the affairs of these various
Offices with concentration of effort
and watchful care which permitted
no divergence from the line of duty he
had definitely set for himself.
I'm the war with Spain he displa. ed
singular initiative andi energy and
distinguished himself among the com.
manders of the army in the field. As
President. he awoke the nation ID,
the dangers of private control, which,
lurked in our financial and Industrial
systems. 1t was by thus arresting
the attention and stimulating the pur-
pose Of the country that he opened
the way for subsequent necessity and
beneiicient reforms.
His private life was characterized
BY a simplicity, a>virtue and an affec.
tion worthy OF all admiration and
emulation by the people of America
I'm testimony of the respect in
which his memory is held by the
government and the people of the
United States, do hereby direct that
the flags of the White House and the
several departmental buildings be
displayed at half staff for a period Of
81 days, and that suitable military and
naval honors under orders of the Sec
retaries of War and of the Navy be
rendered on the day of the funeral.

The Good That Comes Of II.

Do you think that the war is making
people less selfish in the world and in
the United States? Surely it must,
when in so many places people are sac
rificing their dear ones and their
money for cause. Even if it seems
to some more question Of honor and
family or national tradition than JUS
tice or freedom. often think of the
rank and file of the German army, and
even the Junior officers. They are suf-
fering untold hardships and showing
magnificent bravery in the face of
heavy odds, as much as, perhaps more
than, the soldiers of the allies. AL
though one must be here to realize
that men have risen to a height of
courage and endurance in this war that
people living in modern civilization
never dreamed of. Surely some gain
must come from this tremendous eff
fort and conquest of self, and Germany
must not be entirely loser, when her
sons, even If forced, have paid such a
price. Edwin A. Abbey, II, in the At
lantic.

Cosmopolitan Odessa.

Odessa, recently entered by German
troops, furnishes the most remarkable
instance in Europe Of rapid growth,
like that of the mushroom cities of the
New World. Founded in 1894 on the
site of small Turkish fortress which
had been taken by the Russians few
years previously, it does not possess a
single building which by any stretch
of Imagination could be described as
old. The city as well as the port owes
Its origin to Frenchman named De
Ribas, an officer in the Russian army
who had led the attack on the Turkish
stronghold. French influence is strong,
and there are important commercial
French and British colonies. Italians,
Greeks, Bulgarians, Tartars, Arme-
mans, Georgians, and. other races in
addition to the Jews and Russians
make up the population of this cosmo-
politan city.

Only a Cold

Are you i'll? is often answered.
"Ch! its only a cold,' as if a cold was
a matter of small consequence, but
people are beginning to learn that a
common cold is a matter not to be
trifled with, that some of the most
serious diseases start with a cold. AS
soon as the first indications of a cold
appear take Chamberlains Cough

QUITTING Work for War.

Selling out; havesto join the col

in business places in many parts of
New York. Investigation has shown
some of them to be fakes, too. In all
parts Of England such notices are nu-
merous. Among those of an unusual
nature is the following, put up by a
monument builder:
Having been called up for military
service, Mr.. Kennedy is forced to close
down his business, all the other male
members of the family being already
in service. He begs to take this OPP
portunity of thanking all patrons who
have accorded him support in the past.
and he hopes that any who might
have business requiring his attention
may be able to hold over the same
until his return to business"

The MARBLE QUARRY

AS a number of Audubon County
parties are holding securities in the
Michigan Verde Antique Marble
Company the following item taken
from the "Ishpeming Iron Ore" will
be of interest:
fThe Michigan Verde Antique
Marble company is again at work.
During this week additional steel
was laid from the former terminal
of the spur railway line into the To-
cation,so that now all the freighting
needs of the company can be given
the best attention. Soon the chan
neling of marble will be under way
again, and it is the plan to ship a
considerable quantity this year.
With peace finally signed and build
ing operations again under way,
this marble is going to command
much attention.
This week we showed the marble
finish in the main entrance of the
| Clevelands Cliffs iron company's
hospital to a prominent business
man from "below" who stated he
could hardly believe it. came from
this section. Just why he argued
in this way we did not understand
unless he thought all such marbles
came from Greece. Many people
have this idea because in years past
it has come from there. The real
verde antique can now be secured
from this Ishpeming quarry in any
quantity the trade will demand.
The world can show no finer, so why
should it not be popular.
The development of the quarry
has been made skillfully and all the
work done has been planned with a
view to future operations. The

BIRD club
: Notes

Many of our birds disappear in
the month of August and for two
or three weeks are not seen, but
later reappear.
So complete is the disappearance
of birds during this month~that one
may spend hours in the woods and
hear only the Red-eyed Vireo and
occasionally a Wood Pewee.
This is because it is the molting
se.son and almost all birds retire
from view while changing their old
suit for a new one.
Baltimore Orioles are almost
never seen from August 1st until
about August Goth when they re-
appear in a new suit and in almost
full song.
Goldfinches and Waxwings nest
| in August and sometimes the Song
Sparrow raises a third brood. With
these exceptions the feathered FAM
lilies have ceased housekeeping and
retired to the cool seclusion and
quiet Of the thick woods and under
brush. In the marshes, however,
L
the Swallows, Redwinged Black
birds and Bobolinks congregate in
great numbers. The Swallows feast
on the millions of mosquitoes which
Iinfest the swamps and the Bobo-
links devonr the wild rice and other
