one OF those who have no feeling of re-
greet over the death of man who occu-
pied so large and prominent place In me
political affairs of American life as did
the late President Roosevelt, simply by
reason of the fact that l did not agree
with him In his political Views nor ap-
prove of his theories of statesmanship.
The greatest safety to the public arises
from the sharp clashes of men whose
ideals are "a far apart az the poles. This
clashing of ideas enables the common
people at large to pursue a middle course.
1.-THE late President undoubtedly will
leave permanent impress upon Ameri-
can life. He was a born fighter. I did
not know him personally, but have as
cert aimed since coming to Washington
that he had more personal friends than
any other public man who was ever in
this city. His death will be sincerely
mourned by thousands OF those personal
'.iends and regretted even by those who
did not agree with him"
Secretary OF War Baker: IL did not
know that Col. Roosevelt's illness was so
grave. and am greatly shocked at his
sudden death. During his long and bril-
Liant career he touched the public life OF
America in more ways than any other
Of our public men. His relations to the
navy and to the army are of course a
part of the history of those two services,
and during his terms as President he
brought his powerful personality and
great energy to bear upon economic
problems of the greatest moment
IL do not know of any career which
combines so many diversified and lnten-
Hvely pursued activities-frontiersm
explorer. naturalist. seaman. soldier. eN-
ecutivc and publicist-in each OF these
re;ationa he WAS conspicuous and left his
mark Taken all in all, 1t Is the close

GOO workers on strike or threatening
to strike, the problem of framing the
industrial peace treaty is in the
hands of John d. Rockefeller, Jr.,
capitalist and the son Of the richest
man in the world.
Mr.. Rockefeller began work on his
assignment late yesterday when the
public group of the industrial con.

committee that is to decide how 1t
can carry out the requests of the
president.
Rockefeller left the meeting after
his appointment and walked to his
hotel carrying a big sheaf of papers.
He is comforting with other members
of the committee today. The COM

Al the meeting late yesterday many
