cident after one of the battles showed the
noble hearted hero that he always was. One
of the men in the Ninth Cavalry was miss
ing and sikrmishers were sent out to search
for him and among the skirmishing party
was Col. Roosevelt and he found the man.
No, he did nto report back to the Ninth
where their wounded comrade could be
found, but came into camp with the wound
ed man on his back.

AMERICAS FIRST CITIZEN
(NeW York A ge)


The unique individuality which more than
any other might be styled the first citizen
Of America, passed peacefully from this
this strenuous field Of activity to the Great
Beyond the first of this week
Theodore Roosevelt was indeed, in the
first ranks of true Americans. He embodied
the best and most characteristic traits Of the
Occdent. A product Of the culture and
civilization OF the eastern part of the coun-
try, he went west and absorbed in his youth
the boundless freedom and vi gor Of that
part of the continent
Frank, free and outspoken in his senti-
ments, he was the living embodiment of
true democracy that knew no limits on ac-
count of race, color and previous condition.
Assured of his own standing he was will
ing to accord all others the consideration
their deserts merited. AS governor of New
York he opened the public schools Of New
York State OF all children without discrim-
nation.
AS President he did more to put the
Negro on the same plane Of equality in ap-
pontments to office as other elements of the
Republic. He braved the oprobrium of the
South in several instances, without finchne
or eQuivocation.
True, he aroused the bitter and lasting re-
sentiment of many Of the race in his action
IN the Brownsville affair, when he dishonOr-
ably discharged from the service the battal-
ion Of the 24th Infantry, charged with shoot
ing up the town. although the guilt Of those
discharged never satisfactorily proved.
His alliance with the Progressves and the
hly-white politicians Of the South also grated
harshly upon the susceptibilities of those
who admired him for his personal freedom
from the taint Of color prejudice
But, all in all, he was man, whose cour-
age and character commanded respect even
when his acts were opposed to the interests
OF those who admired him most

BACK TO THE FARM

There will be multiplied thousands Of dis
charged soldiers jobIess if all Of them
break for some big city as soon as they are
discharged. More men are needed on the
farms Of this country than in the factories
and furnaces of the big cities. For the
next five years the United States will be
called upon to feed starving Europe and
she will not be able to do so unless the
farms are we'll manned. Ships are sadly
needed to be sure, to take the relief to
the hungry hordes Of Europe, but if the
man power Of the country is exhausted in
the building of ships then there will be no
food for the ships to take to Europe after
they will have been completed. Let every
effort be made to induce the discharged sol
diers for the most part to seek homes in
the rural districts. where they can add to
the food supply Of this country, that there
will no longer be hungry hordes in Europe.
During the past week it has taxed the minds
of the citizens Of Seattle to find positions
for the few soldiers that have been dis
charged who have rushed to Seattle to get
city jobs If that condition prevails now
Just think Of what it will be when all the
boys come marching home. It's barely pos
sible that for the next two years thousands
Of discharged soldiers could find lucrative
employment among the farmers Of Eastern
Washington and the men should take ad-
vantage Of the opportunity and say, to hell
with the city jobs.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT EULOGIZED

''IIe was our riend", came from the
churches Of Seattle last Sunday in relating
the death of the late lamented Theodore
Roosevelt. The Christian churches, regard
less of denomination, claimed Roosevelt as
their friend because he loved his felowman
and for that like Been Auben his name lead
all the rest. At the First Methodist church
Mayor Hanson, with other distinguished
citizens, discoursed to house full and over
flowing of the greatness Of the man and
with unanimity pronounced him ''America' s
Ideal Ctiizen.' AS said, the speakers at the
above church so said they in almost every
Protestant church, not only in Seattle, but
all over this land of the free and home Of
the brave'' and the solemn requium "peace
to his ashes' was waited to Heaven port
ais from Maine to Mexico, from the Atlantic
to the Pacific and even from the isles Of the
sea.
At the First A. VI. e. Church Rev. D. A.
Graham said "great men had lived and died
and would continue to do so until time was
no more, and Theodore Roosevelt, as all
others, had simply paid the last debt Of life,
but in his death great prince of men had
fallen. He was our friend'', he forcibly
exclaimed'' and to find man to take his
place, so far as you and I are concerned,
will be no easy undertaking. Roosevelt was
a democrat, not from a local partisan view
point, but of the kind that struggled to
make the world absolutely safe for humanity
irrespective Of race, color or creed. When
Roosevelt prayed to do unto others as you
would have them do to you it wa sdifferent
than that Of the average white man, who
wants to do unto other white persons as he
would have them do to him.
It remained for Sergeant Vrooman to re-
late personal "reminiscences of Teddy Roose-
welt 'I first met Col. Roosevelt at Ft
Robinson. Nebraska where the Ninth Cav
airy and the Eighth Infantry (white) were
quartered The war department had issued
an order that detail Of ten soldiers be
sent with Col. Roosevelt and his party on a
hunting trip in the Black Hills. The com
mandng officer Of the post belonged to the
Eighth Infantry and he naturally took ten
men of his company, but on arriving in the
post COL Roosevelt objected to the detail
and asked for detail from the Ninth Cav
airy and fortunately I was put in charge
of the detail. Once out Of post he was a
hail fellow we'll met and was every inch
dead game sport. The cook of the detail
had not had an opportunity to go out on
hunt and Col. Roosevelt volunteered to get
the dinner one day and let the cook 90 out,
which he did, and believe me, the Colonel
had a dinner right when we returned to
camp I next met Col. Roosevelt in Florida
when Uncle Sam was on his way to Cuba
and in Cuba I was almost continuously with
him and he was ever the splendid fellow I
found him TO be in the Black Hills An in

the public before his sudden death al
though he was ranked by colleagues at
the bar as one of America foremost
members OF the legal profession. He
handled the legal Affairs OF men OF
great wealth. among them James J. Hill,
Matthew c. D. Borden. II. II. Rogers.
William L. Scott. Charles J. Osborn
Lord Strathcona, OF whose will he was
executor. and many others.
He was yaledictorian of his class when
he was graduated with high honors In

tce Of law in this city in 1868, being

An idea of the vast extent OF Mr..
Sterling's activities In the BUSINESS
world and the variety Of the enterprises
In which he engaged may be gained
from the wide range of securities he
held. He was a liberal investor In
