ton of this interesting document
which carries a message from him
"who being dead yet speaketh." In
the leading article of the current
number of the North American Re-

import of this last penciled notation

Here is evidenced as clearly as
Roosevelts realization of both his
responsibility and his obligation.
The simple memorandum marked the
Inauguration of a definite party poll
cy, to be carried through to q no
less definite conclusion. 1t was more
than a passing thought or a mere
suggestion. 1t was n Message, signi-

Nothing could be more character
istic or more clearly illustrative of
the breath of vision. the foresight,
the directness in method and the
painstaking attention of the man.
Nothing. too. probably could have
served his purpose better than that
these words should have been his
last. Difficult as it is to reconcile
ones self to the decree of divine
Providence that the removal of that
great patriot at this crucial moment
was not untimely, we cannot but
realize, as he would have been the
first to acknowledge, that the last
vestiSe of animositics which might
have continued to impair his highest
aspirations was buried with him, and
thereby the perfect union which he
so ardently desired against all things
un-American was attained

Many Opportunities
For Disabled Men

Washington, March 14.-Any man
with one eye, one arm, fair hearing,
or one leg off below the knee but
capable of easy movement with ar
tihcial foot, should be able to quail
fy for the position of safety engi-
neer or inspector, according to the
federal board for vocational educa-
tion, which is in charge of the voca-
tional rehabilitation of disabled SOL
diers, sailors. and marines. The fact
that a great part of the safety engi-
neer's work is in the field and usu-
ally in locations where some de-
gree of agility and ability to get
about is required, would indicate
that men with legs off above the
knee would be unable to fill such
positions. The one armed man
would be less handicapped for this
sort of work than man with only
one eye, or defective hearing, or the
loss of one foot
