His Children's Comrade

One of the most characteristic phases of Col.
Roosevet's life was his devotion to his family
and the friendly and kindly interest he took in
the development of his children.
In the recently published Letters Of Theo-
dore Roosevelt to His Children, given
an insight into the fatherly devotion of the
statesman to his children. The letters not
filled with ddactic admonitions. Neither are
they sermons. One finds a loving father writing
of family affairs and events near and dear to the
hearts of children. Many of the letters are IL
Illustrated with drawings.
The point isl says the Kansas City Star,
Roosevelt made himself the comrade of his chill
dren. There is no condescension in his letters,
even to a 5-year-old. He doesn't write about the
same things to young Quentin that he writes of
to Sir George Otto Trevelyan. But he writes
children looked to him as their most valued play
mate, friend and companion. The parents who
can accomplish this relationship have pretty
nearly solved the problem of bringing up chill
dren.'
Since Col. Roosevelt's death scores Of Incl
dents illustrating the versatility of the man have
been printed. Hardly magazine and periodical
that has not printed an article depicting new
phase of his aptitude for varied efforts and
duties. The letters to his children bring out a
side of his career of which the public had little
knowledge

A Roosevelt Memorial Here

Thousands of citizens recall the memorable
address Theodore Roosevelt delivered in Glen
Miller park number of years ago. The en-
nence on which the distinguished leader spoke
to large outpouring of people later was named
Roosevelt Hill.
The suggestion has been offered that nat
ural amphit heatre be created this slope, with
a stone rostrum at it's base, to be used as pub
lie gathering place for out of door meetings.
Both the location of the amphitheatre and the
associations clinging to Roosevelt Hill give en-
phatic weight to the suggestion. The place is
ideal for the construction of amphitheatre at
comparatively little expense. 1t would be a fit
ting memorial of Wayne county to remember the
life and deeds of the Great American.
Col Roosevelt was beloved in this commun-
ity. His memory is held high his accomplish
;nents cherished by thousands. natural am
phitheatre in one of the most beautiful scenic
spots of eastern Indiana would be fit tribute
to the genius and patriotism of an illustrious
leader.
He loved the open. Nature had an irresistible
charm for him. His writings TEEN with express
sions revealing his understanding of nature in
it's varied moods. To establish this memorial in
Glen Miller park would be distinct mark Of ap-
probation shown by the community.

No Influenza This Year

Military surgeons of the United States say
there is no indication of an epidemic of influenza
this year. This conclusion expressed at a
convention in ST. Louis.
This comes as a welcome relief to many who
believed the country would be visited by the
scourge this winter, and for that reason dreaded
the advent of cold weather.
Influenza exacted awful toll in lives and
in grief and bereavement. Thousands OF homes
in this country will remember for many years
the winter of 1918-1919.
The health authorities of the United States
will not be caught unawares this year if the NAL
ady should make its appearance. They have
been on the lookout for its first manifestations
for many month and proper precautions and pre-
ventive measures will be taken at once.
In the meantime, persons whose minds have
been filled with fear should remember that alb
iect terror often is open invitation to the
malady A susceptible mind is a fertile field for
Influenza Almost every physician will tell you
that constant fear of disease predisposes the
body to an attack.
Keep serene and calm, cheerful and happy. If
hitherto you have worried about Influenza take
comfort from the assurance that there is no in
dication now that the plague will visit this
winter.

$4,000 Aliens Spread Radicalism

According to information which the New
York Times obtained of federal official, $4,000
aliens in the United States are openly or secret
ly working for bolshevist form Of government
and many of the 5000 newspapers published in
foreign languages are supporting the agitators.
The most radical papers printed in the
Russian Hungarian, Lithuanian and Finnish
languages. They are regarded one of the
most influential factors in the propaganda which
the bolshevists are spreading through the United
States.
The Times quotes a Russian paper, which
prints an article dealing with the activities of
the Russians who are spreading bolshevist ideas
in the United States as saying that 1.-The struggle
for the lifting of the blockade against Russia is
interviewer with our common struggle for the
triumph and fulfillment of Communist Bolshevist
ideals, for the triumph of the Proletarian Soviet
Government idea of the dictatorship of the pro-
.etariat, not only in Russia, but the world over.
Quotations from other bolshevist papers de-
nounce our government and preach class hatred
Of the most bitter kind The whole tenor of the
articles quoted by the Times from these anti
american organs proves that rigorous steps
should be taken Immediately to suppress them
If it was a crime during the war to preach an
archy and to denounce our country, it is still
crime to undermine our institutions and to jeo-
pardize the safety of our government. Insults
to the flag and what it stands for should be re-
scented as quickly and effectively they
year ago.
A roundup of the $4,000 aliens who are so
dissatisfied with conditions in this country that
they prefer a soviet form of government seems
to be necessary. Deportation Of the whole lot to
the countries from whence they came, or incar-
ceration in prisons is in order. An alien has
no business to stir up trouble and create unrest in
a country to which he has come to better his
material condition.
