THE PRESIDENTS TRIBUTE
TO COL. ROOSEVELT.

In a proclamation to the peo-
pie of the United States, an
nouncing the death of Theodore
Roosevelt, President Wilson pays
a fine tribute to the great man
whose passing is mourned by the
nation, ordering suitable honors
to be paid to his memory by the
various government departments.
The president said:
cit becomes my sad duty to
announce officially the death of
Theodore Roosevelt, president of
the United States from Septem-
Der IA, 1901, to March A 1909,
which occurred at his home at
Sagamore Hill, Oyster Bay, N.
Y, .at Ais O'Clock in the morn
ing of January 6 1919. In his
death the United States has lost
one of its most distinguished
and patriotic citizens, who has
cndeared himself to the people
by his strenuous devotion to
their interests and to the pub
lie interests of his 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 assist
ant secretary of the navy, as
assistant secretary Of the navy,
as vice president, and as presi-
dent of the United States, he
displayed administrative power
Of a signal order and conducted
the affairs of these various Of
fices with a concentration of eff
fort and a watchful care which
permitted no divergence from
the line of duty he had definite
ly set for himself.
In the war with Spain he dis
played singular initiative and
energy and distinguished himself
among the commanders Of the
army in the field AS president,
he awoke the nation to the dan
gers Of private control which
lurked in our financial and in
dustrial systems. 1t was by thus
arresting the attention and sti7
the purpose Of the
country that he opened the way
for subsequent necessary and
bencficient reforms.
ellis private life was char
acterizcd by simplicity, vir-
tue and an affection worthy of |
all admiration and emulation by
the people of America. "

Soldiers Have Sane Platform.

The resolutions committee of the
first state convention of returned sol
diers have presened fair and rea-
sonable platform expressing the
concensus of soldier opinion upon
various subjects thinks the Marshall
town Times Republican.
The man who fought has not much
use for the conscientious objector
and he reasons most logically that, if
citizenship under our government is
not worth fighting for it is not worth
having hence he would take citizen
ship away from the conscientious OBJ
jeitor.
He fayorh the universal training of
young men in military tactics in
schools and colleges and In national
guard organizations but he is not in
favor of the draft for military SER
vice in times of peace which is what
universal military training means
when it proposes to mobilize men
into armies for several months or
years service.
He is not in favor Of demanding
any more bonus for mis- service in the
army but will be thankful for what
ever congress is willing to appro-
pirate.
He believes in all Americanization
work and would deport the slackers
who after taking out first papers
failed to complete their naturaliza-
ton so as to escape the draft.
He wants complete investigation by
congress Of all alleged wrongs to sol
iiers and he might consistently have
urged complete Investigation Of ali
army graft and inefficiency with full
to all malfactors but
party political interest will probably
AXE care of that.
Just now the members Of the Am
erican Legion are ''resoluting" upon
subjects of their own personal inter-
est. Within a very few years they
will be the men who will be adopting
the winning platforms as to the con-
duct of all public affairs. Their cap
acity to act wisely is promised in the
character of their work at their first
state convention.

SQUIRE II. f. GIBSON DEAD.
Prominent and Well Known DEBORAH
Pioneer Passed Away Friday i'm
st. Paul

Squire Robert F. Gibson, one Of
Decorah's well known and highly re-
spected pioneers passed away last
Friday in hospital in st. Paul. He
lived to the ripe old age of SO years.
and his death was due to the wearing
out of life's machinery.
The deceased was born Jan. s,
1926, in Bedford county, Pennsyl-
vania. On May 5, 1851, he was united
in marriage to Sarah Allen Tumble
at Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Four chill
dren We're born to the union, two of
whom survive. They are Harold Glib
son, of Los Angeles and Mrs. May
Kuby of st. Paul. One son, Freder-
lex died in 1892 and daughter Ella
in 1900. The wife and mother passed
away Feb. A, 1910.
Shortly after their marriage they
moved to Akron, Ohio, where Mr..
Gibson was engaged in the mercan-
tile business for seven years. In 1859
they came to DEBORAH, and he en-
gagged in the lumber business and
mercantile business, which business
he continued until some time in the
eighties. After that he engaged in
the real estate and insurance business
up until the time he left DEBORAH
nine years ago. He was also a justice
of the peace here for many years.
Mr.. Gibson, we understand, was
the oldest Odd Fellow in the state of

boro Lodge No. 219, I. o. o. F. on
March %, 1S47, at Waynesboro,
Franklin county, Pennsylvania. After
coming to DEBORAH he transferred
his membership to the DEBORAH lodge
and remained a faithful and loyal
member until his death.
Mr.. Gibson was a man possessed
Of high type of citizenship, just
the kind who help to make good
communities, the kind that always
can be pointed to with pride and re-
spect. During his long life in De-
corah he made a most honorable
record. He believed in the motto
Live and Let Live" and he treated
his fellow men in a way that brought
him lasting respect and honor. He
was a tireless worker always, and
up to within a short time before his
death looked after business affairs.
During his long life here he made
scores of friends and all are grieved
to hear of his passing.
The remains were brought to De-
corah Saturday night and the funeral
services were held from the Con-
gregational church at two o'clock
Sunday afternoon. Rev. M. Willett
officiated. I. o. o. F. Lodge No. So,

of the services at the grave. Burial
was in Phelps cemetery.

GROCER PUNISHED FOR FOOD
PRICES.
j. Nj. Caldwell of Des MOines Charg-
es He is Refused Milk and Bread
by Companies.
Des Moines Register


Are so-called Standard Oil
methods used in Des Moines to keep
prices up?
Here is the story of j. M. Cald,
we'll, grocer, 1414 Twentieth street
1t comes through the office Of w. B
Barney, Jr., state dairy and food
commissioner. .s
Some time ago Caldwell began the
sale of bread at 13 a loaf and milk
at IL cents quart.
Within few days the bakery ant
the dairy companies with whom he
had been, dealing with refused to sell
him their products because of his
low retail price.
Mr.. Caldwell says these refusals
were made because his competitors
one Of whom mas since sold out
told the bakery and the dairy they
would not buy of them II they sold
their goods to retailers who resold
them so cheaply.
That low prices bring trade and
more profits than high prices is
shown by the fact that Mr. Caldwell S
receipts for the first Saturday after
he took possession Of the store were
over 500 as compared with ABOUT
$40 under the former restme. The
over head charges are small

twenty loaves Of bread when he was

fit of 3 cents. Now he sells more than
