Memorial Association, and consist.

Senior high school, was the speaker
of the day. With a thoroughness
which left little in the life of this
great man unheralded, the speaker
in discussing Roosevelt the Man.
related the history of life, of which
America might well be proud.
Taking up the career of the man in
his early days in New York city,
where although born of riches, The
odore Roosevelt, spurned the life of
ease so common among young men
of his association, and going into
the west, began career which will
forever live in the annals of Am
erican history.
Mr.. Quinlaven recalled that the
first appearance of Theodore in pub,
lie life, was when at Lieut.. Col. of
the famous regiment of Rough Rid
ers, Roosevelt took part in the en-
gagement at San Juan Hill, Cuba,
during the Spanish American war;
From that date on, the climb OF
Col. Roosevelt in public life. was
rapid. He was shortly after elected
governor of New York, then Vice
President of the United States, GO
ing to tn Presidents chair with the
death of President Mckinley, and
later elected president upon the Re-
publican ticket
In every instance, Mr.. Quinlaven
set forth the strong principles in the
life Of Roosevelt. The patriotic at.
titude of the man at the outbreak
of the World War, when after his
military aid to his nation had been
spurned by petty conspiring ad-
ministration, he proved his. true
worth as an American by turning
his every effort to the war at home.

address, Mr.. Quinlaven called upon

generation, to give heed to the life
history of Theodore Roosevelt
