ROOSEVELT SQUARE
6V DR. FRANK CRANE tCopyright, 1921, by Frank Cranel

The proposition as announced by the Mayor of New York City to rename Herald Square after Theo- dore Roosevelt calling Roosevelt Square, is that ought to meet with popular favor.
 The New York Herald is gone The name Herald Square expresses abiding idea that the public is anxious for succeeding generations to remember.
 There is no important square of the town named for Theodore Roosevelt He is easily our most conspic- uous historical asset in recent times.
 Not only he President of the United States, and thus worthy to be remembered account of his high office but he of forcefu and construc- tive personality and that impressed himself ver strongly upon the life of this nation.
 He great American, great man, and great New Yorker
 As Mayor Hylan justly says:
 "No section of the city could more fittngly be given his name than this central, busy, cosmopolitan spot where streams of traffic converge and above below and the surface, and where every phase of the city active life is represented. is typical of his busy many-sded lfe always at the centre and heart of everything that concerned the welfare of his fellow citizens"
 No forcefu man, while he is alive, can escape making enemies He will have sharply marked opin- ions and there will be those naturally who disagree
 But when is gone time closes the wounds of dssension the clash and din of circumstance die away and he fades into the perspective of history we get la juster estimate of his worth Even those who differed from MT. Roosevelt's views recognized his thorough sincerity his entire de voton to the public welfare and his splendid courage
 In honoring him we honor ourselves Every memorial make for him shows our own capacity for appreciating nobleness.
 In the greatest city of America and the metropolis of the world central place ought to bear forever the name of Roosevelt And the spot approved by Mayor Hylan spot that will be busy, public and spicious for generations, seems most fitting.

 It is bad enough that Japan aims to con troI the Pacific Ocean and drive from it. But it S quite bad to know that she is using opium and alcoholic interests aid her in accomplishing her designs. Watch when dstfllery or brewery IS oelng closed in the United States
 You will find Jap the job. purchasing the machinery. It is sent to his home or to China, or Corea- or Formosa- And it is used to manufacture the stuff that drives and women to perform brutal acts
 Japan has displayed character in murdering 10000 helpless and women in Fornosa; tens or thousands in Korea and other countries where she has gained footing.
 I repeat that Japan is determined to drive America of the Pacific and the next will be for control of that ocean. will decided by bat ties the though from her secret bases in Southern California and Mexico, Japan might make trouble for at home.
 There is it is true particular reason to assume that the relations between this country and Japan are over-friendy. The attitude of the states lying this side of the Rocky Mountains toward Japanese immigrants has increased the love of the Japan us and the present controversy concerning the island of Yap has produced a great deal of yap ping both sides The talk of the Japanese news papers is rather menacing.
 But newspapers cannot make war. though they may inflame public opinion in some countries. But public opinion in Japan counts for little against the government. There still sane left in Japan
 In their sanity they may not like Americans very much, anymore than MT. Hobson likes Japanese but they perceive the hopeessness of a war with this country. They could perhaps blow the Panama canal: they might take Hawaii and the Philippines; they might indeed land the Pacific coast. But they are aware that the numerous and greater initial advantages they might gain, the bigger the count that would be piled against Japan. and that in the end they could only bankrupt and de- stroy their country

A Horseshoe Pitching President

anything else strenuous, because they get plenty of exercise pitching hay and digging potatoes. But now and again the spirit of play strikes them
 in mild and friendly form. Old horseshoes are lying all about. Two pegs are driven into the ground, and soon a game is in progress. It is a good natured, easy going game Con-
 tested points are decided finally by an umpire armed with straw. There is no hard feeling, no precipitation. no excitement. It is the typical sport of well-fed, easy going, complacent
 folk. You can imagine a man with
 revolutionary thoughts in his head
 playing fiery game of tennis, but you cannot imagine him playing
 quoits. It is not in fact, a game cal
 culated to appeal to any man who is
 leading an exciting life whether it's
 settlements are chiefly intellectual or
 chiefly physical. It's pleasing but
 monotonous movements and mild cri-
 ses are diverting onry by contrast
 with daily tasks even more monoton-
 ous. It belongs in tae same school
 of things with the old swimming hole,
 the country fair. the church sociable.
 It traces its ancestry even farther
 back to the days of husl<ing bees and
 quilting frolics. It is associated with the smell of wet black earth and
 growing corn, with the long still country evenings when frogs and
 crickets sing, with simple tasks and neigh borly feelings, with fried chicken dinner on Sunday and a good soothing sermon, and long nap in the hammock on the front porch. It belongs to the good old American school of philosophy which holds that God is in his heaven and all is right with the world. that civilization be- gan after the revolutionary war, that every American boy has chance to be president if he will just lie on his l belly in front of the fire and study | as hard as Abe Lincoln did.
 1 Such is the environment that pro duced the game of horseshoes. and it still nourishes in what is left of that environment. You do aot see it
