THEODORE ROOSEVELT

Tomorrow is Roosevelt DAY anu
Throughout the nation Americas millions
will bow in reverence to the memory of
the great leader, soldier, statesman,
President, American. From the pulpit in
every state in the Union orators will do
their best to extol his name and fame.
The task of the orator will be an easy
one, for no theme could furnish more in
spiration, more real, genuine American
ism, free from hypocricy and deceit than
the life and career of Theodore Roose-
welt.
Much loved and much hated he has
been pronounced by those opposed to him
the greatest American of his time. a
Niagara of human effort rushing at
thousand precipices, he served his state
and nation in more capacities than any
other American, and gave an account of
himself in each and every instance that
made him the envy of his fellows. Cour-
ageous, fearless, always in the open and
never asking advantage, he met both
friend and foe alike. A man of action,
leader, doer he had no use for the
trifler, the watchful waiter, the man who
goes along the lines of least resistance
and thinks and considers thousand
times when once will do.
He died as we imagine he might have
asked to die, with his boots on. If he had
lived he might have been president again.
What might have happened in the next
election any one can guess and no ono
can know. Roosevelt was incapable Of
quitting on anything. He might have tried
again and he might have won. He holds
the record of having received the largest
populas vote of any president. 1t might
have been disaster for him to have tried
again and won. We can only conjecture
we do not know.
We do know that he was taken as a
great oak by the lightning. He did not
wither. He was tsruck down. And to-
day he is not dead, but lives in the hearts
of his countrymen, the courageous, the
invincible, the unconquered.
"He was man, take him for all in all,
We shall not look upon his like again"

Not that he had been touched deeply
by greatness and wore the mark OF 1T
with anconcern; not that he was the no
blest friend of honesty and common sense
and the ruthless foe of cant, unfairness,
untruth and un-Americanism; not that
he took always the most dangerous part
for himself; not that he was man OF
splendid human qualities; not for any
thing that can be set down in words, but
y something to which his deeds and at
tributes and heroism all pertained-for
himself we loved him.
Farewell mighty hunter! You were
the swiftest, cleanest and most valorous
of you tribe. You pressed the hunt fear
lessly and to its logical ends, not in fan
tasy through the clouds. but in fact on
this earth, where the consequences are.
Innumeable and precious are the troph-
les. We place them at your side. Would
that there were demons of doubt and
darkness and unrighteousness in the
path you are now on. For you would
STAY them all and like it more.
Farewell, 0 rare American.-New

1t is necessary in order to compare the
Canadian land program with the pro-
gram-Or lack of One-of the United
States to make allowance for the circum-
stance that large proportion of Cana
dian soldiers are outdoors men, to whom
farm life would be likely to appeal, but
a fact that stands out, and will bear en-
phasis, is that something is already being
done. ast A MNF
"The government" said Maj. G. w.
Andrews, a member of parliament and
student of the land laws, already has
advanced $1,30o,0O00 to returned soldiers
who own lands to enable them to buy live
stock and make improvements" The
point OF comparison is contained in the
three words, "already has advanced" It
might be worth while for the United
States Congress to make not too pro-
tracted inquiry into the Canadian meth
cd of getting action.
Details of the scheme are unimportant
by comparison with the circumstances
that something is already being done.
Forty-three per cent of Canada's return
ed soldiers have signified their desire to
become farmers. 1t is highly improbable
that so large proportion of Americans
will be drawn toward the land. But the
percentage in this country, whatever it
may be, of would-be farmers, is receiving
no real encouragement from the govern
ment. Departmental recommendations
and congressional talk do not take the
place of $1,30G,e90 ALREADY advanced" to

THE HUNS "ARCH ENEMY"

Among all the tributes paid to Thco-
dore Roosevelt, none has been more note
worthy or more appropriate than that of
the Huns, who are unsparing in their de-
nunciation of him as their "arch-enemy"
That is what he was, and it is one Of his
noblest titles to grateful fame. The world
scarcely yet realizes how great part he
played in arousing the soul of the Ameri-
can nation to a realization of the peril
which confronted it, and to the necessity
of putting forth every atom of both ply
steal and spiritual strength against the
Blond Beast. Old time legends celebrat-
ed and apotheosized champions who went
forth to battle with dragons and demons.
History will record the greater worth of
this. man who gave his life to battling
with the foulest foe humanity has known.

In the above case Mr.. Moore is auth
ority for saying that "in this case all the
orders of the big generals of the army
were complied WITH" and now listen to
the following consoling letter to Mrs.
Barr:
Dear Mrs. Barr:
"Your letter of January 20 received and
it is with the deepest regret that we can
not bring about the discharge OF your
son, Pvt. Joseph Barr, at this time. We

pect for this poor woman, waiting for
bread, waiting for money, waiting for a
sons sympathy and support
"Our greatest wish is that the present
emergency will alter itself and permit
the early return of your boys and the
boys of other American mothers who

issues dominate the world, it IS pertinent
to recall the-masterful character and the
beneficient results Of his foreign policy
There was no hesitancy, there was NJ
compromise, there was no supine oppor~
tunism. There was an assertion ,,aJ O.iere
was a maintenance of American rights
and dignity and honor that ne never mad
been surpassed by any Oh his preaecas-
sors. Yet there was peace He could or
der the battle fleet with Dewey in COM
mand to be ready to meet German inva-
sion on the Venezuelan coast; but the
only result was that tho German invasion
was withheld. He could send our war
fleet ON cruise around the world, to
show to all nations the sea power of the
Republic, but it came home again with
out having to fire one hostile shot.
What wonder that the outbreak of the
present war aroused him to something
like an ecstacy of patriotic passion? The
resolute and beneficient diplomacy which
he had practiced was fallen into Bryan
lied decay. The militant preparedness
for which he had striven was neglected.
The robust Americanism of which he had
been the prophet and the exponent was
sicklied Ger with the pale cast of inter-
nationalism and neutrality. There was
need for voice to speak; and he spoke.
To millions as we have said, it will seem
an irreparable calamity that he should be
taken away just at this time, when the
nation, and, indeed, the world, seem so
greatly to be in need of him. Yet it
would be poor tribute to him to intim-
ate that his work had not been so well
and so completely done as to endure in
triumph after his departure. We believe
that it will endure. The people will not
forget his words and his example. He
reused them, and they will not fall asleep.
His last words, uttered with no thought
that they were to be his last, will live in
millions of hearts and minds as vitally as
though his vibrant tones were still re-
peating them:
"There can be no divided allegiance
here. Any man who says he is an Ameri-
can, but something also, isn't an Anieri-
can at all. We have room for but one flag,
the American flag. We have room for but
one language here and that is the English
language. And we have room for but one
soul loyalty, and that is loyalty to the Am
erican people"
With the poet of Flanders fields. his
spirit may well cry to those who so long
and so passionately loved his leadership:
To you from falling hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
In his own farewell words, publicly ut
tered only few hours before his death,
he said: There must be no sagging back
in the fight for Americanism merely be-
cause the war is over" We respond,
with all possible sense of loss, but with
all the indomitable resolution which he
so superably personified: There must
be no sagging back in the fight for Am
ericanism, not even because Theodore
Roosevelt is dead.-Col. George Harvey
