Frank A. Munsey.

4 figure notable in the field of mag
azine and newspa per publication has
passed. in the death of Frank A. Mum
sey, at the age of Il. He was an ea-
ample Of ambitious youth accomplish.
ing great success upon the foundation
of a slender ca pital. Indeed, his none
tary equipment at the outset of his
career in the publica ton field was only
d very few dollars. He had vision of
a popular-priced magazine which would
give wholesome reading matter to the
public and this he made q reality with
q series OF ventures which became re-
markedly prosperous. Later he entered
the field of journalism, in which he
achieved somewhat less in comparison,
bur in which he was nevertheless an
indefa tigabIe worker. The story Of
his life IS dramatic. Gifted with an in
tense energy and an indomitable pur
pose, he dared greatly and accom-.
plished much. His was the typical
life, in many respects, Of an America n
gaining remarkable success through
ability and tireless enterprise.

The Roosevelt Stadium Proposal.

Representative MacGregor Of New
York Endorses The Stars suggestion
that more appropriate form OF me-
mortal in this city than that which
has been proposed for Theodore Roose-
welt would be a great stadium, where
the people Of the Capital and Of the
Nation might participate in and wit
ness athletic contests, which repre-
sent in the most fitting manner the
character and the interests of the for
mer President. Theodore Roosevelt
was not himself primarily an athlete.
He was only incidentally a sportsman.
But he believed in the rugged life, in
the proper training Of the body for
carrying on the important tasks of
citizenship. He was an outdoors man,
and his example Of vigorous partici-
patton in wholesome exercises and
physical activities was an inspiration
to American youth. for the upbuildinx
of a stronger people.
The proposed plan OF great colon
made and fountain would add richly to
tai. 1T would be an artistic and a de-
served tribute to one of the great men
Of the Republic. But it would not be
typical of the man. who abhorred the
purely ornamental without practical
usefulness. Roosevelt wanted Wash
inston TO be we'll equipped in struc-
lures of utility. He was interested in
the project for great public stadium.
Had he been in Office during the past
few years doubtless he would have
movement for its provision.
The promoters Of the memorial
would do well to reconsider the pro-
jected plan and decide whether
stadium, which would cost very much
less than would the colonnade and
fountain, would not be more fitting as
an expression of the spirit and infiu-
ence OF the strenuous Roosevelt. and
would not. in the course of time, bring
to the American people more dis
tinct impress of his character and in
fiuence. There is at present opposi-
ton TO the specific project which has
been offered for consideration, on the
ground of the occupation Of too much
public park space. the practical de-
struction of distinctive and delight
full feature of Potomac Park the Tidal
Basin, and the overshadowing of other
memorials in the near vicinity. To a
great national stadium, certain TO be
used often and visited by great multi
ludes in the course of each year there
will never be any objection, and such
a structure, perhaps the largest in the
world. presumably architecturally at
Irdctive and significant, would be more
truly a memorial TO Theodore Roose
welt than a merely esthetic creation
however pleasing TO the eye.
