THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

It is indeed singular that just while
the civilized world has been rejoicing
over peace, that just at the beginning
Of this new year the world are to be
wrapped in deep sorrow at the unex-
pected death of ex-President Theodore
Roosevelt, who died last Monday at his
home in New York. It has been truly
said that humanity must have her
sweets ningle with her bitters, that our
joys and sorrows, tears and laughter
must dow together. This day the giant
oak has fallen. The greatest man of
this age and generation, real great men,
arc only produced about every 100 years
apart His death is untimely and his
loss We all smonrn. He was just in real
prime Of manhood, only so years, ripe
with age and experience by wide trav-
els, conversant with the real needs of
all the civilized nations, scholar, a
statesman, an author, huntsman, an
orator, soldier and the highest exam
pie of greater democracy, of justice,
equality and fair play for every man.
He lived strenuous and busy life, brim
full of new ideals Of better living and
better treatment of all peoples and of
all conditions. He elevated the moral
tone of the world in regard to family
ties, in regard to their political hon
esty, in regard to business in both pri-
vatc and public corporations. Indeed
his age in the American life viii be
known as the Rooseveltian age in the
American history. He prophesied, wrote
and spoke about generation ahead Of
his tima and we are and will soon see
that Roosevelt was right upon most all
important questions. His country life,
his pure food laws, his forest conserva-
tion and Preparedness stand will all
prove useful benefit to humanity. To
the Negro race we have lost the great
est, truest and best white man since
Abraham Lincoln Indeed America has
had but two real, all around unbiased
presidents, who were too big to know
no color, race or creed, wealth or pow
erty, but simply knew man as a human
being. They were the giant oak in the
American forest, Lincoln and Roose-
welt. That brave, strenuous, intrepid,
fearless leader who was outspoken for
right, justice and equality, who said that
he would not close the door of opportu-
nitY against any man on account of
color. He who dined with Booker T.
in the White House. He
who more kings, emperors, princes,
presidents and rulers of all the civilized
countries honored and laid trophies at
his feet So we can say that Theodore
Roosevelt was the greatest man of his
age.

We could not make a success of shoe manufacturing, because it is a sepa- rate industry A business has to stop expansion at the point where it loses efficiency by adding more articles than it and its salesmen can handle with profit. There's a limit to what a man can do well"
 Mir Armour asserted that many small packing plants were competing with his firm and were making more money on their invested capital. be- cause the large corporations expenses are greater.
 Then you ought to split up into small concerns" MT Sims suggested.
 No. because We make a greater az gregate," the witness answered.
 Mir Armour gave the committee ex- tended reasons why he thought the pending bill to license the meat pack ing industry and permit the govern ment to acquire stockyards, refrigera- tor cars and other adjuncts of the business, should not be passed. He declared that the packer owned re- frigerator cars made nearly twice as many miles day as the railroad-own- ed cars supplied to shippers not own ing cars, because the packers kept tracers constantly after their rolling stock He denied there was any dis crimination on the part of the rail- roads.
 Then if you operate these cars so efficiently and yet lose money on them, how can the small packers hope to compete?" MT. Sims asked.
 They can't compete unless they get cars, but there are enough railroad cars as a rule to take care of them" Mir Armour replied.
 In response to questions by Repre- sentative Esch of Wisconsin, Mir Arm our denied that ownership of stock yards was used to manipulate prices of cattle.
