More Tributes to Great American
Come From Nations Leading Men

Men from all spheres Of activity and
all parts Of the nations continued yes
terday to pay their tributes to the man
who lies dead at Sycamore Hill. Some
of these follow:
Governor Sleeper of Michigan-"In
common with the whole state of Mich
igan l mourn the passing Of a great
American. The death of Colonel
Roosevelt removes one whose wide ex-
perience, vigorous mentality, clear Wis
ion and moral courage would have been
of invaluable service in the work of
reconstruction which lies ahead of US.
Our loss is incalculable."
Adolph Lewisohn-"In the death of
Theodore Roosevelt our country has
lost one of the greatest men Of the
age. He was upright and fearless, and
much of the improvement in the moral
status of this nation, particularly in
the business world, is due to his ener-
getic action in standing up for the
right and fighting what he considered
wrong. He had the courage of his con-
victions, and his convictions were
usually right"
COLONEL HARRY CUTLER-"The
death of Theodore Roosevelt has re-
moved from our national life a man
who takes his place in the memory of
a people beside the great Americans
our land has produced, such as Wash
ington, Lincoln, Mckinley and Hay
The cause of civilization is now real
izing the fruits of their life works in
the ideals to be written by the world
peace conference for the human family
the world over"
.tL
Tompkins - "Theodore Roosevelt was
the greatest and most unique Ameri-
can character since Abraham Lincoln.
His genuine Americanism, his passion
for the noblest ideals and highest
standards of political and social life,
his rugged honesty and frank and
forceful opposition to the things he
regarded as un-Americar and harmful,
his love of humanity and his abiding
and helpful interest in the cause of
these who toll and earn their bread by
sympathy for the oppressed and suffer
ing of the race, endeared him to the
hearts of the civilized world and won
for him a place in the affection Of men,
women and children everywhere.
"The memory Of this great patriot,
statesman and humanitarian and the
record Of his splendid life character
and achievements is a rich heritage
for us all and will be a blessing and
an inspiration to coming generations"
Supreme Court Justice Lazansky-
"He awoke the people of this wonderful
democracy to a realization of the po-
tentialities of our free institutions and
the possibilities of its people under
them His patriotism was an inspira-
tion to all liberty loving peoples"
Children's COurt-"No one understood
the American boy better than Theodore
Roosevelt, and none labored more con-
sistently for his bettcrment and de-
velopment. Children instinctively loved
him, and to them he will always be a
hero of the finest type. We have lost
a great friend and great leader"

River of Doubt Never
Claimed by Roosevelt

Reference since the death of Colonel
Roosevelt to the controversy over his
explorations of the River of Doubt
or Rio Tecdoro, in South America. led
to the passage of resolutions yesterday
BY the Explorers Club, which has for
Its object the removal of any misap-
prehensions regarding the facts in the
case.
What the facts were Vladimir Stef
tanson. president of the club (of which
Colonel Roosevelt was member). ex-
planned last night.
Every explorer" he said, 'of course
knows that there was never anv real
Oasls Tor the controversy. How it
arose IS very easy to see, in view of
.ne fact that even since Colonel Roose-
velt's death newspapers have printed
references to his discovery, Of the
RIVER of Doubt. No such discovery
OF course, was ever claimed and if i
mad not been for this misuse of words
there would never have been any argu-
ment IN the beginning.
A1tentlon IS called to the actual
facts at this time in order that the
matter may be cleared up once and for
a an. Before Colonel Roosevelt's trip to
South America the junction of the
RIVER of Doubt with the Amazon was
indlcated on the maps, but the hard
ships and dangers known to lie along
its course had prevented further eX7
ploration. Colonel Roosevelt and his
party dared these dangers, explored
the stream to its upper reaches, and in
dong SO performed a great and genu-
Inc service to science.
THAT is all there is to it, and if
people will refrain from referring to
the discovery which Colonel Roosevelt
never claimed and confine their com
ments to the valuable exploration which
ne actually. did make there will be no

Nations Press
In High Tribute
To Roosevelt
Newspapers of All Shades
of Political Opinion Vie
in Expressions of Grief
Death Called a Calamity
Editors Who Opposed Him
in Politics Call Him the
Greatest American of Day

The sudden death of Theodore Roose-
welt is. in the unanimous opinion OF
the press of the country, national
calamity that is irreparable. Lengthy
editorial comments are devoted to re-
lating the almost countless incidents,
many known, yet many more unknown,
in which he played so striking part.
Tales of his greatness, simplicity,
kindness, friendliness and stalwart
sturdiness arc retold with poignant
grief and regret Immediately apparent.
Newspapers of all shades of political
opinion, newspapers that supported him
ardently or those which opposed him
persistently, have discarded all arti-
fetal barriers in agreeing that Theo-
dore Roosevelt was the greatest Ameri-
can of his generation.
Some of the editorial opinions of
newspapers throughout the country fol-
low:
Plain Dealer, Cleveland: ''All Amer
lea mourns at the bier of Theodore
Roosevelt. Animosities are hushed.
Here lies one who devoted great talents
TO his country's good. No one need
ask higher praise"
Free Press, Detroit: "The death of
Theodore Roosevelt is a national mis-
fortune that stirs more genuine heart
emotion than would the passing of any
ether American"
Chronicle, San Francisco: "The voice
OF controversy is hushed in the pres
ence OF death. Those who differed most
strongly with Colonel Roosevelt will
unite sincerely with his most devoted
followers not merely in sympathy with
the family thus suddenly bereft, but in
a tribute to the memory of one who
imposed himself powerfully and in
delbly upon mis- generation, and has
left none to fill his place"
State Journal, Lincoln, Neb.: "Roose-
welt filled the stage in his time because
he was qualified to meet the needs of
that time He was prominently the
man of the physical. He was no
dreamer. He saw the physical and eco
nomic evils of his time and set himself
te solve them"
Enquirer, Cincinnati: "As a factor
Tor the promotion of American patriot
ism and an exponent of unified ma
ticnal seDfe Theodore Roosevelt will
take rank with the mighty figures of
our history: In war, as in peace, he
translated his terms of the citizens
duty INTO personal performance. In
everything that he was part he
ieaves, not only America but the whole
u the civilized peoples, separate
cause for mourning"

Most of this estate, friends of the
