DETROIT HONORS
GREAT AMERICAN
Bainbridge Colby Delivers
Eulogy on Friend.
Special Despatch 10 TIE suN.

DETROIT. Feb 9.--"He Is gone. There
is none to take his place. This sturdy
gentleman, this high minded public
servant Ia gone. This spacious man Is
gone in the fulness OF his powers, at the
crest of his fame--foaming over the
brink OF life like a majestic cataract"
With these words. Bainbridge Colby Of
New York paid tribute to his friend,
col. Roosevelt. at the memorial services
in Arcadia Hall tonight
That power that was and still Is Theo-
dore Roosevelt, President of the United
States. a soldier, statesman. hunter. au-

spected by monarch and peasant brought

Upon the stage sat Mayor James
Couzens. cambridge Colby, Bishop

Mr.. Colby reviewed the life OF his
friend as, to quote his own words, zone

selves with nothing only the prominent

did not want ever again to be candi-
date for office. And you know that only
the call that came to the men of the
sixties made pe answer Il in our day as
they did more nobly in their day. And
now. as then. It is not important whether
one leader lives or dies.
1T Is important only that the cause
shall live and win. Tell the people not
to worry about me, for IL 10 down an
other will take my place. For, always
the army Is there. Always the cause is
there, and II Is the cause for which the
people should care. for 1t Is the peoples
cause"
These sentences from a man who
had no assurance that he would be alive
when they were spoken prove his deep
sincerity and reveal his conception OF
that great American advance movement
OF which he was the leader.
Col. Roosevelt saw the United States
as 1t really Is, placedson the throne OF
the world. at an almost equal distance
from Europe and from Asia. He saw
that, in all foreign conflicts in which
human liberty Is at stake. America all
ways can be the deciding factor with
out becoming permanently involved in all
alier disturbances.
1t was with this conception of Amer-
cas- place. power and mission that the
craftsmanship and fortitude OF President
Roosevelt brought to an end the conflict
between Russia and Japan.
III what we call genius ever was dis
played more brilliantly than by Presi-
dent Roosevelt in stopping the Russo
Japanese war. no mention OF such an
instance as been made by the historian
The international work OF Theodore
Roosevelt freshest in our minds IL, OF
course. the hercu.ean labor he performed
to throw the resistless power of the
American republic into the recent COM
bat OF nations
When he felt he clearly understood
the real issue involved, Theodore Roose-
Welt took the field and gave the last
years OF his life to the task of making
his countrymen see that issue. And he
succeeded. but only after such an in
tense, sustained and long continued ee.
tort as Few men ever have put forth
All the strivings of his tempestuous life
put together did not equal the energy
and emotion of his last three years.
Credit Due to Roosevelt.
More than any one man. more thu,
any one thousand men. Theodore Roose-
Welt was effective in making America
the decisive factor OF what he profoundly
and passionately believed TO be a mortal
test OF strength between liberty and des-
potism. II, as all nations admit. Amer
lea turned the tide. then to Theodore
Roosevelt, more than to any single HUI
man being, Is due the victory of free
dem.
His gift OF decision equaled that Of
Washington. and his power OF prompt
initiative was even stronger than that
OF that greatest OF the early Ameri-
cans No American President. no leader
in any land. could have asked for ad-
vice more eagerly than did Theodore
Roosevelt-none could have made con.
sultation more easy and pleasant for
those whose counsel he sought. He re-
quired OF advisers only fidelity and
truthfulness. Information and clear
thinking.
IF asked for one word to describe
Theodore Roosevelt as ! knew him, I
should say that the word. 'Greathearted-
ness best expressed the man. Had ne
lived In the age of chivalry he would
have been called Great Heart"

that the cashier was a close relative Of
the Judge of the court. That cashier
was sent 20 the penitentiary."
Rabbi Lazaron said: DO you suppose
that Theodore Roosevelts aim In 1912
