fessor of Economics of the Uni
versity of Idaho. his subject being
the economic settlement OF capital
and labor, pointing out the part
that the coming generation could
play in bringing about this END.
He mentioned the economic con
ditions that must be faced since the
war and pointed out the fact that it
would require just as much II not

gave big cake-walk party in the
East room of the White House which
had never before been used for any
thing less solemn and formal than a
reception. He was the first president
to grant personal interviews to news
paper correspondents. Previous to
that time it was an unwritten rule
in Washington that the president
should never be quoted in a news
paper article.
His administration as president has
been widely criticized as it has also
been widely praised. Much of the
criticism was due to his habit >of
wading in and dealing sledge-hammer
blows where he thot they were need
ed He used the big stick freely and
soon had what he called the "maIe-
factors Of great wealth on the run.
His first big problem was the great
coal strike of 1902. The miners and
the operators could not agree. The
Atlantic sea-board was without coal
Roosevelt determined that the Allan
tic states should have coal and have
it right away. He organized the ar
bitration commission and the indus
trial revolt was settled.
When he was blocked again and
again in his plans for a canal that
would connect our Atlantic and Pa
cific sea-boards and thus safeguard
our country in the possible event of
war he took matters in his own hands
and the result was the Panama Canal,
the greatest single achievement of
the American people in modern times.
He prosecuted faithless public Of
ficials, curbed law-breaking corpora
tions, secured legislation for the regu-
lation of the packing industry, secured
pure food laws, employers liability
laws, safety appliance laws, and laws
looking to the conservation of the nat
ura1 resources of the country. He
took the initiative in stopping the
Russian-Japanese war. His efforts |
resulted in the treaty of Portsmouth |
and he was rewarded with the Nobel |
Peace Prize for his epoch making
work.
But the great service of his life
was not in his acts as a public official,
out in his influence as a private citi-
zen during the last four years. It
was Theodore Roosevelt who told US
Germany was blood-stained and gull

and Belgium and Armenia should b.
righted by Americans. He was the
Flaming herald of Americas wal
against the Beast!
The personal integrity of Theodore
Roosevelt challenged American appre-
citation. The mast impressive and
commanding greatness of man resides
in character. The first question with
the common heart of humanity is not
what was he as a statesman, soldier,
a scholar, but what was he as man.
Character is everything. Strength
| lies in the intrinsic man.
During the campaign of 1912 stor-
les were circulated that reflected on
the private life of Mr. Roosevelt. A
Michigan editor carelessly repeated
some of them, charging the Colonel
with intoxicat ton. Roosevelt brot suit
for libel and brot such a notable host
of witnesses to testify regarding his
private life and habits, whose testf-
mony was so overwhelming that the
charge was withdrawn in open court
and the jury brought in a nominal
verdict in favor of the ex-president.
His Christian faith and his allegi-
ance to the Christian cause, his famil-
iarity with the scriptures and his
ready use of them in public speech,
his emphasis upon honor and justice
and right-all bear witness of a vital
religion. He was man. of prayer.
He was man of the church and sup
ported it's activities with unsparing
zeal.
The religious element in his char
acter was deep and earnest and sin
cere This was the real basis of his
patriotic fervor. No American Of
fers the coming generation higher
ideal of patriotism, truer courage,
a wider humanity. His earliest, his
latest, his profoundest thot was the
thot of his country and the dedication
of his splendid gifts to the interests
of his country was the glory of
Theodore Roosevelt. Overzealous
perhaps at times he made mistakes,
just as our soldier boys in France
made mistakes made the mistake of

! mistake, however, that proved to
De the highest military wisdom in that
This rashness and zeal warned the
Germans that new spirit had en-
cred into the war and that their only
safety was in flight beyond the Rhine.
In many speech Theodore Roose-
velt has sounded a clarion call to the
American people to cast aside that
which is sordid and low and strive
,nly for those things which are true,
lonest, pure, lovely and of good re-
,ort.
In the campaign of 1912 at Carnegie

navy was John L.. Long, an amiable
president of the New England Peace
society, and scarcely fitted for the

TWO HEARINGS
 BEFORE CORONER

Coroner Phelan held two hearings this morning at the County Court House. The first was the case of Harrett Hall who was hit on Satur- day morning by jitney driven by David KOblenz. The child who was very small darted out across Main street, near Frank street in a diagonal direction. She was going so fast and came in front of the car so sudden ly that the driver had apparently no chance to stop his car. The testi- mony of the witnesses tended to bring out these facts. The case was not completed today.
 The second hearing was that of the jitney driver who struck and killed Josephine Maruzzo. The child sud- denly ran across the street directly in front of a jitney. She had been walking in back of her teacher and owing to this fact the woman did not have her under observation. The child was known to be reckless anad had been warned several times " the traffic officer to be more care. full. This case was also continued.

 employ Returned Soldiers

Meriden. Conn.,, June 2-Speak kins at the annual convention of the Con- necticut Federation of Labor held here today, President Patrick J. OMeara warned delegates to beware of political affiliations and to go out and organize wage earners in the in- dustrial field, impressing upon them the necessity of being true to one an- other and to their organizations in or der to adjust their aims.
 President O'Meara in speaking of the labor question in regard to un- employment said he regretted the fact that several employers in Con- necticut, had only short time af- ter the armistice was signed, forgot ten the purpose for which their men went to war, have degraded them selves to put the dollar before the principle, and have not re-empioyed many of their former employees.
 Reviewing the so-called labor bills introduced at the recent session of the General Assembly, President O'Meara claimed the labor commit tee was a better manufacturers com- mittee than a labor committee.
 Before closing he advocated the es- tablishment of a college for the edu- cation of sons and daughters of wage earners. and said he believed good health insurance law should be plac- ed on the statute books.

 OUT OF PRUS SIAN DOMINATION

Paris, June 2-Coblenz will be the capital of the new Rhine province which was proclaimed yesterday in several Rhine cities. The new gov ernment and national assembly will! meet there, but the provisional gov ernment will sit at Wiesbaden.
 Portions of the procla nation to the Echo from Metz.
 We declare the automous Rhenish republic to be founded in the bos- om of Germany. It is pacific re- public which is composed of the Rhenish province, Old Nassau, Rhenish Hesse and the PaIatinate The foundation rests on the following basis:
 1-The frontiers will remain the same, including Birkenfeld.
 2-Changes in frontiers can be made only with the approval of other nations interested as established by a plebiscite.
 3-The provisional government of the Rhenish republic Is exercised by the undersigned delegates of the peo- pie.
 4-Elections for the Rhenish na- tional assembly will be held without delay according to the methods of the German national assem bly.
 "Coblenz is to be the capital of the new government and the national as sembly will meet there. The pro- visiona1 government will sit at Wies- baden. Local authorities will con- tinue their control for the time be- ing. The provisional government will take the place of the central government and the Prussian, Bavar- ian and Hessian governments.

 tee.
 ''Palatinate committee. June 1, 1919."
 Another passage shows the move ment not to be separative, but anti Prussian. It says:
 Violence from whatever side must disappear. The Rhenish people honestly and sincerely wishes peace based on a reconciliation of all peo- pIes. That is why it separates itself from the institutions which are the basis of so many wars: Feudalism and militarism. It, thereby eliminates m obstacle standing in the way of a genuine peace"

M. Barres says that Dr. Borden, tn president of the new republic, Is the soul of the movement. He Is from Bonn and before the war was mag fstrate. During the war he was a German officer.
 He is one of those idea1ist Rhine flanders who have never been recon ciled to the subjection of the left bank of the Rhine to brutal exploi- tation by Prussia M. Barres writes. We are in the presence of the reap pearance of the old Germany with which our fathers were able to enter Into agreements and sometimes to en- certain friendship. This happy event became possible only through the admirable conduct and political sense of the allied armies"
