Press Gives Hearty Greeting
To Little Miss Longworth

The intense humanity of humans
is again displayed by editors of the
country in the Fluctuations going to
Mr.. and Mrs. Nicholas Dongworth
| upon the birth of their daughter on
st. Valentines day.
This little Longworth girl" says
the Columbus, Ohio, State Journal,
must prepare to be very much loved.
Her parents have been married 19
years and she is the first baby. We
can hardly imagine circumstances
| under which a little girl, or even a
little boy, for that matter, would be
| more welcome. Nick and Alice will
be, undoubtedly are, simply crazy
about her. The arrival of the baby,
we imagine, removes the last doubt,
if any, of Nick's election to the
speakership OF the National House
of Representatives. AL the world
loves young father. especially after
he has waited 10 years to be one"
The State Journal, however, offers a
little coincidence to the baby in the
following: One joy which we fear
will have to be denied the cunning
little girl, though 1t seems almost
like the divine right of babies, is
pulling her fathers hair"
The naming of the baby Paulina
comes as a slight disappointment to
some of the enthusiastic admirers
who apparently wanted g. perpetual
ton of the Roosevelt name. Some
insist upon calling her Baby Alice"
and Little Miss Alice" The Provi-
| dence Journal remarks: THE Hon.
Nicholas Longworth declares that
young Miss Alice is as fine a baby
as he ever dreamed of, though he
INDUCES in the whimsical criticism,
If we may call it that, that she favors
the Roosevelts more than she does
the Longworths." To which the New
London Day suggests: 1T would be
rather surprising If this were not the
case. The Roosevelts are an amaz-
ingly vital lot of people. Such fami-
lies possess a quality which cannot
be run out in one generation, or two
1t goes on down through the ages
Wherein there is a blessing to
America"
THE birth of baby, any baby,
| is an event, a mystery and a miracle"
declares the Detroit News, which
adds: The glory of maternity. the
romance of Observation-Disclosures ex-
periences rainbow the natural order.
The birth of a daughter, their first
child, in the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Nicholas Longworth is an event of
Nationwide interest! The Reno
Gazette believes because the Amer
lean people when her father was Vice
President and when he was in the
White House took Alice Roosevelt TO
their heart, the whole country is in
terested in this important event and
will congratulate Mr.. and Mrs. Long
worth"

"In prospect of her coming" oh
serves the Brooklyn Eagle, Fate has
arranged full and equal suffrapa for
women. Why should we not have a
! woman President?' is already a cues
ton in many minds. By 1916, when
| little Alice has reached her majority.
this question is sure to have become
| more urgent. In 1860 Theodore
Roosevelt's granddaughter will be
| eligible for the highest office in the
gift of the people. However, we i'm
| patient persons are not willing to
| wait for that. Considering the
changes of the past, the changes
within the lives of her proud parents,
may we not hope for an abolition of
| that 35 years age limit on the pres
ideAcy?"
l. ".Princess' Alice Roosevelt being
about the nearest approach we have
| to royalty" says the Ell Paso Herald,
| 1.-THE birth of the baby daughter gives
nice little thrill to the populace.
