loOO-Elected Vice President
Theodore Roosevelt was the
most popular of all our presidents.
With the exception Of Lincoln, his
was the raciest, the most interest
INK character that We have had In
the presidency.
Yet he was born apar. from the
multitude whom he led and he
might have lived and died a strang-
er to the masses of his countrymen
but for one thing: He had not the
health to enjoy the life OF ease
which opened to him at his birth.
Roosevelt had to fight for his very
breath in his gasping, asthmatic
childhood. He had to fight even to
see until he was Is, when it was
discovered that the awkward, STUN
bling boy was in need OF eye
glasses. He had to fight to get into
Harvard, without the stimulating
companionship and competition of
schoolmates, his uncertain step
having put him out of step with
his fellows and, except for a few
months, he never attended a pub
Tic or private school. All the while
he had to fight for the strength to
hold him own among the harder.
rougher boys who. boylike, picked
on. the timid weakling, and he built
up his frail body and braced up his
courage by constant exercise at
home, in the fields and in the
woods.
Finally he. took postgraduate
course in physical culture In the
wild west where the four-eyed ten
derfoot had to fight the battle OF
his youth all over again in a
strange world. with entirely differ
emit standards for measuring a man.
As a ranchman out on the blizzard
swept plains Of North Dakota, he
had to make good by working as
hard and daring as much as the
next fellow; keeping his saddle for
40 hours at a stretch on a round
up," and showing himself on occa-
sion quicker with his fists than
some barroom rowdy was with his
guns. In the end the frontier made
over the raw material from Fifth
avenue into an American OF the
type of Washington, Jackson and
Lincoln, all frontiersmen.
Having overcome the disadvan-
tage Of being born poor in health
Roosevelt next overcarne the dis
advantage of being born with q
rich father. In the ,1tire story Of
the presidency there is in reality
no better example OF q "self-made'
man.
When he had fought his way to Z
robust manhood, Roosevelt found
that he could not be content tc
dwaddle in a club window or be 9
mere looker-on in the world. Hav.
ing contracted the fighting habit
he could not stop fighting. and ht
fought his way into politics and
into the legislature.

FRENCH AIM FOR BIG PART
IN COMMERCIAL AVIATION
Chamber of Deputies Votes 3OO,-
100000 Francs for Civil and
Military Service.

PARIS. July l Correspondence Of
the Associated Press)--France. whose
strong war aerial force. in men and
materials. has been allowed to disin-
tegrate, is determined to WIN big
place in commercial aviation, p. f.
F'andrin, aviation undersecretary.
told the chamber of deputies when il
voted 300. 600 francs for civil and
military air service.
The development of the ali-metal
alrplanes, he suggested. is one of the
most important things being sought.
and. he said German attempts along
TINS line seem to me more dangerous
than any clandestine deposits of war
materials.
NJ, Flandrin told of typical flights
IN other nations. such as the New
York San Francisco race and the
American postal routes. and then re-
ported that the Paris London air
planes covered 120,O miles. carrying
SOB passengers on 513 flights during
the period from last September / to
March L. when winter atmospheric
conditions were bad. On only seven
per cent of the trips was there more
than an hours delay, and only one ac-

flight speed from IS to AS miles an

pied the flight range.

TOXIC TO HAVE SUBWAY;
WILL BE FIRST IN JAPAN

TOXIC, June % Correspondence of
the Associated PresS3 Toxic is to have
a subway, the first in Japan, a char
This is part of a big plan for i'm
provements in transportation facili-
ties in Toxic and Osaka, which will
involve the expenditure of many mill
lions of dollars. The decision of the
authorities to undertake these i'm
provements has followed bitter COM
plants of poor eervice.
Owing to the increasing population
the street cars of Toxic are so over
crowded that it is common sight to
see passengers hanging dangerously
from the platforms. while public tax
icabs are insufficient to meet the de-
mand. Toxic will spend $4,000, 900 in
street improvement.
A bigger project is under way for
Improving Osaka. which Japanese
often call the Manchester of Japan"
because it is the chief center of the
country's cotton industry. The pro-
posed Improvement of the streets
new harbor is being built which will
cost about S30,000,000.
Fifty per cent of Osaka's manufac-
tured products are moved through
the canals of the city, and more will
be dug. Fifty million dollars will be
expended in. constructing a modern
sewage system.
Toxic and Osaka, like New York
London and Paris, lack lodgings for
the people. 1t is quite impossible to
hire either a foreign style" or Jap
anese home in Toxic. Hence the sub
urbs are constantly extending.
The city of Osaka covers an area of
fourteen square miles. which is ex-
pected to be trebled when the project
of greater Osaka is carried out. The
population of 100000 is increasing
rapidly.
In Toxic. and Osaka, as in New
York. house rents are going up con-
stantly. and food is ever rising.

THE CURSE OF FEAR.
BY DIR. FRANK CRANE.
Copyright. 1920

IL IS commonly supposed that fear
is the cure of crime; that thieves and
robbers and cut-throats are held in
check by the shadow of the nrison
and gallows. Exactly the contrary is
true IL Is fear that makes crimi-
mails.
IL IS matter of history and statis-
tlGs that In proportion as capital pun
.shment; torture and cruel PENALTIES
are abolished crimes decrease.
GulIiotlnes, Jails and prison colo
mes nave produced more lawbreakers
than they have ever healed.
IL Is tune we stepped out of the
darkness OIL ignorant medievalism into
the light of intelligent psychology
And the. psychological truth is that
fear, anywhere and any time, is a
toxic destructive emotion, invariably
producing moral lesion
NO hand that trembled with fear
ever did any good and true work No
brain cramped by fear could ever see
the truth. No soul. except the soul
unafraid could ever be genuinely
good
Goodness. when you boil it down and
find its essence, is courage. And vice,
when you get to the bottom of it, is
cowardice:
1t is commonly taught that it is the
fear of fire and wounds and poisons
that keeps us healthy, and the fear of
the wrath to come that, keeps US
moral. But our attitude toward fire
and knives and strychnine is that of
prudence, not fear; there is a differ
ence. In fact. when we come to know
the truth about these things we use
them and enjoy them; sit by, the fire,
.whittle with knife and take strych-
nine pills as tonic. knowledge casts
out fear. Fear is an expensive lux
ury.
Think of the awful cost of fear, IT
is mutual fear that makes nations
keep up their vast armies. intolerable
burden of money and blood, 1t lis
fear that feeds all ancient frauds and
superstitions that darken yet so many
minds. 1t is fear that disrupts the
families love created.
1t is distrust of the cosmic almight-
mess of goodness that makes any
man do wrong.
Fear is the seed of all human NOR
bidities 1t is fear of greatness that
keeps souls away from goodness.

ENGLISH PROTEST
PROPOSED SHRINE
Grandiose National War Me-

From Architects.
BY EDWARD PRICE BELL.
BY Cable to The Star and Chicago
Daily News. Copyright, 1920.

LONDON, Eng, July 17.-Angry
protests by various architects and
other artists have followed the an
nouncement that his majestys office
of works proposes to design a ma
tlonal war memorial on a grandiose
scale for erection at Hyde Park cor
ner. Now the newspapers and the
public have joined in the clamor.
John W. Simpson. president of the
Royal Institute of British Architects
learns of the proposal with grief
and indignation" and asks, ARE the
architects who gave up all to fight
Tor us already forgotten and to be
allowed no opportunity to concen-
trate their talent to the memory of
their fallen comrades? To which
Mr.. Simpson adds: Il protest against
employing a government department
to produce monument in which,
above all others, should be repre-
sented the finest art of our country"
Beset with Anxieties.
I'VE have been begging for cot
tageS and little houses with no
luxury" said Stephen Paget. cand a
thousand anxieties are besetting u.s.
Yet the Office of works proposes to
saddle the nation with the largest
and latest thing in pylons and flank
ing temples that London. has ever
borne simply to indulge in luxury and
self-g lorification What man or
woman who lost son in the war
would be comforted by this proposed
colossus at Hyde Park corner"
The daily Mirror condemns the
scheme utterly and excoriates nearly
all the statuary in the metropolis

German Friedrichstrasse drive" The

Symbol of the Cross.
The Times expresses doubt whether
the English can understand or rec

clares that the English have no af-

RUSSIAN MENACE
WORST IN Europe
Correspondent Says "Reds"
Will Advance Far as They
Please.
BY EDWARD PRICE BELL.
BY Cable to The Star and Chicago
Daily News. Copyright, 1920.

LONDON. England. July I'm a
ca BILE dispatch sent while the Polish
offensive was still prospering, the
writer quoted from correspondents
who were communicating with Brit
ish military circles to the effect that
the red armies were very formida Bile
and that it was extremely doubtful
whether the Poles could maintain
their gains.
One correspondent in Russia ex-
pressed the opinion: 'The Polish
army will be overcome exposing
Europe to the threat of a widespread
advance of the bolsheviki." This cor
respondent has just reached London.
Russia is now the most dangerous
power in Europe" he said today.
Her military resources are becoming
gre alter all the while The military
quality of the red armies excels that
of the czaristic armies, which is say
ing good DEAL
Dream World Conquest.
What are the red armies going
to do?" was asked.
"Only Lonin and Trotsky can an
swer that" was his reply.
DO you think they dream of a
European conquest
They dream of world conquest"
was the answer. But not, I fancy,
a conquest by arms. They believe
they can conquer the world by the
power of their ideas.
How far will they go in Polando"
"As far as they like, probably"
do they think of subjugating
Poland?"
MY own view" replied this CORE
spondent. ''is that they are striking
hard, not with the thought of actu-
ally subjugating Poland or invading
western Europe. but for the PURPOSE
of forcing the allies to make peace
with them and lift the blockade.
This / believe to be the motive of
their propaganda and their warlike
efforts on every front. They are try
ing to harrass the allies into pacific
frame of mind
"Red" Leaders Ignorant.
do you think the western democ-
-racies are in any danger from bolshe-
visit ideas?"
probably not" was the answer.
THE bolshevists, even the ablest of
them, are amazingly ignorant of the
character of western civilization.
They have misread our political and
social organizations altogether. The
more we know of their principles the
less likely we shall be to emulate
them.
'"rhe British labor delegates to
Russia got the shock of their lives
when they found there the most
absolute tyranny in the history of the
world. Serfdom was nothing to it.
