THE people loved Roosevelt because
he was like them. In him the common
qualities were lifted to higher tension
and greater power. but they were still
the same. The people loved him be-
cause his thoughts were yet within their
reach and his motives were always
clear In their sight. They knew his pur-
poses were always right. To millions
he was the image OF their better selves.

ORATORS IN BOSTON
USE SUPERLATIVES
Great CroWds at Church and
Other Memorial Meetings.


BosToN. Feb. 9.--Citizens poured to
the meetings in this section to-day held
to pay honor to Theodore Roosevelt.
Churches were filed with the late Presi-
dents admirers. who heard orators re-
sort TO superldtive phrases in their
memorial addresses. The large number
OF soldiers and sailors in the gatherings
was conspicous feature.
Prof. Albert Bushnell Hart OF Har-
ward. speaking to gathering that
damned keith's Theatre for the Roose-
welt memorial meeting this afternoon
said: The real memorial to Theodore
Roosevelt Will be what he has written
on the minds and hearts of tho great
mass Of his fellow countrymen."
Judge NJ. J. Murray. a lifelong friend
OF Mr.. Roosevelt said He loved his
country with an Intensity beyond the
understanding of many men, and the flag
was never wrapped about him to the
exclusion OF any man: like Lincoln he
made his name belong to all mankind in
every land"
Judge Murray emphasized the former
Presidents grasp on the menace of
Bo!shevIsn and declared his loss to
America and the world in combating
this evil alone was tremendous.
Churches throughout Boston and vi
entity were pack to hear the me NOR a |
sermons. No more stirring gathering
assembled than al the Church of AL
Nations, where thirty eight nationaIities.
including the newly created kingdom OF
Hedjaz. were represented. The assem-
blage was in almost constant applause
as the Rev. Samuel NJ Crothers poured
out eloquent praise for Mr.. Roosevelt

OF timld or yielding foreign policy /:
on the contrary, 1t was owing to the
ilrmness OF the President in all foreign
questions and the knowledge which
other nations soon acquired that Presi-
dent Roosevelt was a man who never
threatened unless he meant to carry
out the threat, the result being that he
was not obliged to threaten at all"
It was the Senator's opinion that in
the Panama Canal President Roosevelt
left the most enduring, ms II was the
most visible monument OF his admins
tration."
Much criticised at the moment for
his action in regard to 1t. which time
since then has justified and which his
tory will praise. the great fact remains
that the canal Is there" Senator Lodge
said He said himself that he made
up his mind It was his duty to estab-
lish the canal and have the debate
about It afterwards, watch seemed to
him better than TO begin with in
definite debate and have no canal at
all This is a view which Costerity both
at home and abroad will accept and
approve
This was the speakers comment on
the election OF 1919. when Col. Roose-
welt led the Progressives:
There never has been In political
history. when ALL conditions are con-
sidered. such an exhibition OF extraor-
binary personal strength To have Sc
cured eighty-elght electoral votes when
his own party was hopelessly divided.
with no great historic party names and
tradition behind him. with an organi-
cation which had TO be hastily brought
together In few weeks, seems almost
incredible. and in all his career there
is no display OF the strength of his
hold upon the people equal to this
Coming TO Col Roosevelt's service TO
the country during the war and the
loss OF his son Quentin. Senator Lodge
said:
He would have had us protest and
take action at the very beginning IN
1914 when Belgium was invaded He
would have had us go TO war when the
murders OF the Lusitania were per-
petrated. He tried to stir the soul and
rouse the spirit OF the American peo-
pie. and despite every obstacle he did
awaken them, so that when the hour
came. In April. 1917, large proportion
OF the American people were even then
ready in spirit and In hope.
How telling his work has been was
proved by the confession Of his coun-
try's enemies. for when he died the
only discordant note. the only harsh
words. came from the German press
Germany knew whose voice IL was that
had more powerfully than any other
called Americans to the battle in be-
half OF freedom and civilization"
Because he was not permitted 70 go
TO Europe at the head OF body OF
soldiers. said Mr.. Lodge. Col. Roocevelt
was denied the reward which he
would have ranked above all others,
the great prize OF death in battle. He

As n Writer and Speaker.

Let me speak 1rst OF his abilities.
He had a powerful. well trained, ever
active mind He thought clearly, indie
pendenuy and with originality and i'm
agination These great gifts were sus-
talned by an extraordinary power OF
acquisition. Joined to a greater quick
ness OF apprehension. a greater swiftness
In selling upon the essence OF Ques-
tion than l have ever happened to see In
any other man. His reading began with
natural history. then went to general
history and thence to the whole field of
literature. He had capacity for con-
centration which enabled him to read
with remarkable rapidity anything which
he took up, II only for moment, and
! which separated him for the time being
from everything going on about him.
He made himself n writer not only
OF occasional addresses and essays but
OF books. He had the trained thorough
ness OF the historian, as he showed in
his history Of the war OF 1912 and Of the
Winning of the West and nature had
endowed him with that most enviable
OF gifts. the faculty of narrative and the
art OF the teller OF tales. At the same
time he made himself a public speaker
and here again, through a practice prob
ably unequalled in amount, he became
one OF the most effective In all our his
tory. In speaking. as In writing, he
was always full OF force and vlgor he
drove home his arguments and never
was misunderstood. In many OF his
more carefully prepared addresses are
TO be found passages of impressive elo-
quence, touched with imagination and
full OF grace and feeling.
"He had a large capacity for admin
I istration, cearness of vision, prompt
ness OF decision and a thorough appre'
hension of what constituted efficient or
ganixation. He could not have done nj
those things unless he had had most ex'
ceptional natural abilities. but behind
them was the driving force OF an In
tense energy and the ever present belief
that a man could do what he willed Il
do. As he made himself an athlete. a
horseman, a good shot. bold explorer
so he made himself an exceptionally
successful writer and speaker.
His also was tho rare gift OF arrest
ing attention sharply and suddenly, a
very precious attribute and one easier &c
! illustrate than to describe, This arrest
| ing mower IL like a common experience
which we have all had on entering a
picture gallery. OF seeing al once and

scribable as Il is unmistakable. Roose'
