"He dctested sham and want of car
cor" Gen. Wood declared in describing
Col Roosevelt. "He had little patience
with those adroit in the use OF words
and skilled in the building OF phrases.
but lacliin., the concrete courage TO meet
issues when national honor and civiliZa-
ton demanded action. He had the fac
ulty Of drawing a line between wisdom
and folly.
"He realized that war has been mans
portion. at times. ever since the world
was created. Knowing that II always
had existed. he believed In preparing
against It. He realized that II was a
false humanity not to give the men who
are to fight our battles a sporting
chance.
HE held the confidence OF all fac
tions and was equally at ease In the
Sorbonne or addressing a group OF men
in a mining town.
He Gid more than any other Presi-

United States stands for and what re-

opportunities. but In the extraordinary
hold which he established and retained
over great bodies OF men. He had the
largest personal following ever attained
by any man In our history. Let me de-
fine what I mean by personal following.
do not mean the following which comes
from great political Office or from party
candidacy. There have been many men
who have held the highest offices in our
history by the votes OF their fellow
countrymen who have never had any
thing more than a very small personal
following.
ny PERSONAL following IN meant here
that which supports and sustairs and
goes with p man simply hecause he is
himself: n following which does not care
whether their leader and chief is in office
or out OF Office. which is with him and
behind him because they. one and all,
believe in him and love him and are
ready to stand ny him for the sole and
simple reason that they have perfect
faith that he will lead them where they
wish and where they ought TO go.
This following Theodore Roosevelt
had. as Ihave said. in larger degree
than any one in our history. and the fact
that he had 1t and what he did with It

given him his great place ard his lasting
fame
This extraordinary popular streusth
was not given TO HIM eolely because tNe
people knew him to be honestt and brave.
because they were certain that physician
fear was an emotion unknown TO him.
and that his moral courage equalled the
physical IT was not merely because
they thoroughly believed him to be sim
cere. All this knowledge and belief. OF
course. went to making his popular lead

IN u than that. something that went
deeper, basic elements which were not
upon the surface. They were due 10
qualities Of temperament in.erwovcn with

Along the fighting line in France and
Flanders there were moro Inquiries con-
corning Col Roosevelt's opinion. his
views and his probable line OF action

combined"
Gen Wood declared that Roosevelt
realized that leagues OF nations could
only be enduring when they are based on
community of interest and OF areas,
land above all. community OF morals
and ideals"
He never believed or for a moment
tolerated the idea." said the General,
that we should enter into any league
which would deprive us of the right of

His Sense OF Humor.

Very different. but equally comrel-
ing. was another quality. There is moth
ing IN human beings at once so sane
ard so sympathetic rs a sense OF humor.
rms great gift the good fairies con-
ferred upon Theodore Roosevelt at his
birth in unstlnted measure. No man
ever had more abundant sense OF
humor-Joyous. irrepress!be humor-
and 1t never deserted him Even at
the most serious and even perIlous mo-
nents II there was a CLEAN of hurnor
anywhere he saw 1t and retolced and
he'ped himself with II over the rough
pa cs He loved fun. loved to toke and
char, and. what is more uncommon.
greatly enjoyed being chafred himself
His ready smile and contagious laugh
MADE countless friends and saved him
from many an enmity. Even more gem
orally effective than his humor was
the universal knowledge that Roosevelt
had no secrets from the American
people
yet another quality-Serhaps the
most engaging OF all--was his homely
generous humanity which enabled him
10 speak directly to the primitive In
stincts OF man.
He was very human and Intensely
american, and this knit bond between
him and the American people which
nothing could ever break And then he
had yet one more attraction, less seri-
Gus than the others but none the lass
very important and very captivating
He never by any chance bored the
american people. They might laugh at
him or laugh with him, they might uks
what he said or dislike 1t. they ,nIph,
agree with him or disagree with him

he never failed 10 interest them.

when the future historian traces
Theodore Roosevelt's extraordinary
career he will md these embodied ideals
planted like milestones along the road
over which he marched. They never LEFT
him. His ideal OF public service was 10
be found In his life, and as his life
drew to It's close he had to meet his
ideal OF sacrifice face to face All his
sons went from him TO the war and one
was killed upon the field OF honor. OF
all the ideals that lift men up the IN rdest
TO fulfil is the Ideal OF sacrifice. Theo-
dore Roosevelt met Il as he had all
others and fulfilled 1t to the last lot OF
rs terrible demands. His country asked
the sacrifice and he gave It with solemn
pride and uncomplaining lips
This Ia not the place 10 speak Of his
private Ike. but within that sacred circle
no man was ever more fortunate In the
utter devotion OF noble wife and the
passionate love OF his children. The
absolute purity and beauty OF his family
life tell us why the pride and interest
which his fellow countrymen felt In him
were always touched with the warm
HIGHT OF love. In the home 90 dear 70

troduced Senator Lodge in 4 few words
and the Senator Immediately began his
eulogy.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1919-02-10

The Senator. who knew Col Roose-
welt from the latter's college days, spoke
first OF the effect upon the world OF the
tidings OF his death-"the cry OF sorrow
came from men and women of all con-
ditions. high and low. rich and poor.
from the learned and the ignorant, from
the multitude who had loved and fol-
lowed him, and from those who had
opposed and resisted him"
He continued:
I'VE can not approach Theodore
Roosevelt along the beaten paths of
eulory or satisfy ourselves with the
empty civilities OF commonplace funeral
tributes for he did not make his life

presence OF the representatives Of the
great Government OF which he was for
seven years the head"
In sketching Col. Roosevelt's life,
Mr. I.odye said OF the Presidential
! period: Those who were alarmed
about what he might do had also sug-
gested that with his combative pro-
pensities he was likely to involve the
country In war. Yet there never has
been an administration, as afterwards

at peace with all the world. nor were
our foreign relations ever In danger

TANNING THE FLAME?

~ OF many weeks ago GER
az tain journalistic critics
of the government were
indulging in complaint that
that the army was not being
demobilized fast enough.
The same general course is
being followed by the depart
ment now that was in vogue
then and the same critics are
now carping that the army is
being demobilized too fast.
What dependence can be
placed in those who thus
breathe hot and then cold?
Can a high value be put on
their sincerity? Are they help
ing the country in a time of un-
usual trial or do they aid in
stead the sinister forces that
are trying to make soldiers dis
gruntled so they will join up
with the bolsheviki or other
radical extremists?
