THE PATRIOT.

1--WE should all be patriots" said a
congressman in a Red Cross address
in Los Angeles.
1--WE should all love our native
land, our native city, our native viii
lage. There is something noble, after
all, in the sentiments of old Hoskins.
"A visitor to the general store re-
marked to old Hoskins:
"'Scripps, the novelist, was
charmed with his sojourn here last
summer. l suppose you know he's
written an article about your town.
He says it's the quaintest, sleepiest
place
"But here old Hoskins, biting q
chew viciously from of a long black
plug. growled:
"'Wall, this here burg may be
quaint, all right, but l don't see
nothin' sleepy about q place whar
everybody's up at four in the morn
in, winter and summer, rain or
shine.'"

The nation as we'll as the
world, suffered a great loss in
the death of Ex-President Theo-
dore Roosevelt, this week, at his
home in New York state.
Mr.. Roosevelt was a real red
blooded. fiery American. and in
spite Of being given the greatest
honor q man can attain on this
earth, that of president of this
great free Republic, he was a
plain everyday citizen. He loved
his home and had reared large
family.
Mr.. Roosevelt has been re-
ported dead on several occasions
but up to this time always came
out on top with honors. The
writer had the opportunity Of
seeing and hearing Mr.. Roose.
welt at the time he came near be-
ing assassinated at Milwaukee. a
little over six years ago. In spite
Of having a bullet wound in his
chest Mr.. Roosevelt appeared in
the auditorium before an audi
ence of 10000 people and de.
livered an address, 10 minutes
after the shooting occurred. VIII
never forget the first words Mr.
Roosevelt uttered that evening
They were: 1T takes more than
that to kill a Bull Moose" +
was an expression Of his will
power.
Mr.. Roosevelt was one Of the
n,~rt rnnilar presidents Unite'
States has ever had and attained
that high position at the age Of
AZ. OF course. it goes without
saying that he also had man,
enemies. and that he has made
mistakes. Even with the fric-
ton which existea between him
and President Wilson and Ex-
President Taft. these men adj
miro Mr.. Roosevelt and realize
the loss our country has sus-
tanned.
