will H. Hays Pays Big Tribute
to Dead Leader at Indiana
Legislature MemOria, SeS-
sion in Indianapolis.

INDIANAPOLIS. Feb. Tribute to
the life and patriotism OF Theodore
Roosevelt was paid by Will H. Hayes,
chairman Of the Republican national
committee at the Roosevelt memorial
session Of the Indiana legislature here
today.
THE lesson Of patriotism Of Theo-
dore Roosevelt" Chairman Hays, who
delivered the principal memorial ad-
dress, declared, rs his monument. He
was for peace when peace was right,
but TO win right for rights sake 1t
was necessary, then he was for war
or whatever else was needed, and,
above all, he vas for America eter-
nally, and there he vas the severest
partisan" the speaker continued. ITO
follow this mans life Is a succession
Of steps from peak to peak; to describe
his accomplishments Is a review Of SUI
rerlatiVes, He had more knowledge
about more things than any a
mazlng all with whom ne am in con-
tact by the breadth OF his knowledge,
p%rodigious beyond comparison. He was
intensely human in the freedom OF I'M
selfishness, and his name Is synony-
nous with courage and activity.
His alert and intense nature was
always In tune to the needs Of the
moment, but he went deeper into the
fundamentals h any one of his pc
riod, In office while wise men were
dHhlllb what NIB III Utsl Dc QOne, ttoDSS-
welt would reply the best has been
done and he was right. AS early as
1909 he spoke the language the kaiser
understood and never ceased to speak
that language while he lived.
Hewed to Right.
His career as a member Of the leg
islature, as civil commissioner, as as
sistant secretary Of the navy, colonel
OF h Rough Riders, governor of New
York, vice president and president of
the United States, as author, historian,
naturalist, hunter, sportsman, husband,
father. citizen, he carried through 1t
all as the one controlling motif a con-
sistent determination to do what he
thought was right. 1t mattered not
one whit now that course affected him
self or anything, II he thought 1t was
right he did it--and he did 1t to the
hilt.
az have kept the promise that l
made to myself when / was 81. That
promise was to live my life to the hilt
until was so, and have kept that
promise
These words Theodore Roosevelt
said to his sister a few days before
he died" Mr.. Hays said, "and this
indeed he did. We a not say that
he was a typical American, because
he was too unlike to be typical; he
had no counterpart; the foremost
American, yes; the leader OF leaders,
yes, but, above all, he was the supreme
duplication of that intangible thing
we love to think Of the the American
spirit"
