THE GREATEST AMERICAN

PROFOUND FEELING OF ADMIR- ~ ATION EXPRESSED BY ALL. Theodore Roosevelt, America’s greatest statesman, is being universally praised. No other one man has ever occupied a more unique and important place in the hearts of the great mass of the people ,in this country. t His kee nforesdght, sound judgment, absolute squareness and his dynamic energy made him a natural leader, who Was loved and praised, trusted and followed while living to a degree which all admit since his death was as natural as for the planets to revolve around the sun. ♦Time will add luster to his fame and memory will but make him dearer to those who loved him so well. Below we quote from a few representative statesmen in their tribute to the “Gheatest American,” whose I honesty, simplicity, courage, steadfast friendship and profound ability made his life genuinely deserving of the highest praise: Senator Johnson, California —The greatest American of bur generation! has passed away. He had a truer vis- J ion, a higher courage, a wiser states- ■ manship than any. man of our time.| .1 cannot speak of him in ordinary

Senator Lodge, Massachusetts —Regarded as the former President’s closest friend in the Senate, in. a voice choked with emotion, said: —Mr. Roosevelt served his country in war, as President, and as Vice President. He was a great patriot, a great American, a great man. He devoted his live to his country, he tried alway to serve it. Vice President Marshall —He was a bom fighter. I did not know him personally, but L have ascertained since coming to Washington that he had more personal friends than any public man Who was ever in this city. Senator Penrose, of Pennslyvania —I knew Col. Roosevelt through his whole career. We had our differences, but I am glad to say that in recent years our political and personal relations were upon a very cordial basis. He was one of the great men of his generation, not only at home but abroad. His personality has been deeply impressed upon the age in which he lived and he will stand as a paramount and permanent figure in history. Representative Cannon, of Illinois —Col. Roosevelt’s place in history will be as one of the greatest presidents of the republic. He kept in closer totich With the executive department than any other President I have known. While I occupied the speaker’s chair and .he the President’s chair, hardly a week passed without a conference on his invitation and, contrary to the popular impression, he sought adVice as often as he offered suggestions. : Representative Mann, of Illinois—- | Col.

ROOSEVELT IS LAID TO REST

BRIEF PRAYER AND SCRIPTURE READING HELD IN LITTLE VILLAGE CHURCH. Oyster Bay, N. Y.,Jan.' 8. —Theodore Roosevelt lies at rest tonight beneath a cemetery knoll near the rambling rural highway along which he traveled so many times in boyhood and in manhood between the Sagamore Hill house which was his home and the quiet village of Oyster Bay. Perhaps no other exprdsident of the United States has been paid the tribute of so simple a funeral as the one which was given- Col. Roosevelt this afternoon on the shore of Long Island Sound. Military and naval honors were not his in death, only beeause it had been his wish and that of his family that the last rites be surrounded only with the simple dignity that might attend the passing of a private citizen. -But the American nation, and for- <»’ overnmeits as well, sent repafives, as did also the state and tie cicy in which he was born. These ,tedmen sat sorrowfully in the 2ws of little red-gabled Christ Episcopal Church, while brief services of prayer and scripture readings were held without a eubgy in which so much might have been said. There was no singing or organ playing. It was the noon hour when, at the Sagamore Hill homestead, all of Col. Roosevelt’s family, except two -of the sons, Lieut. Col. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., and Lieut. Kermit Roosevelt, who are soldiers in Europe, assembled for a few moments of private prayer at the side of the casket in which lay the body. Draped over the casket were battle flags under which the Colonel fought as a Rough Rider on Cuban soil more than twenty years ago. Rev. Dr. George E. Talmage, rector of Christ Episcopal Church, said the comforting words which were the final ones spoken for the Colonel in the presence of Mrs. Roosevelt—for she did not accompany the cortege to the church or to the grave in Young’s Memorial Cemetery. At the Sagamore Hill services only members of the immediate Roosevelt family were present. The body of the lite President was then taken from the famous room of trophies which he had assembled from all ’ Quarters of the globe and was carried from Sagamore Hill on its final journey. Snow had come at dawn and had been falling steadily until the countryside was white, but the sun broke through the leaden clouds as the hearse left the Roosevelt estate and passed into the highway leading to Christ Church. Here, standing on the slippery hillocks, which are the lawns of some of the Colonel’s neighbors, were waiting townspeople. ' Because of the limited seating capacity of Christ Church, these villagers, to whom the Colonel had long been friend and neighbor, had not found admittance. They uncovered their heads as the casket was borne into the churdh and waited outside until services were over and the procession started for the cemetery. In the pews were men who are among the foremost of the country’s citizens. Vice President Thomas R. Marshall represented President Wfl-»‘ son. Gen. Peyton C. March, chief of staff of the army, and Admiral C. McR. Winslow represented the military and naval services and Secretary LanU the Cabinet. William Howard Taft, who, upon the Colonel’S" death, became the only Hying former president; > Charles- Evans Hughes, Elihu Robt, United States Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts; Maj.

FELLOWSHIP IS ENJOYED

VAN RENSSELAER CLUB MEMBERS ENJOY A PLEAS- - ANT EVENING. Van Rensselaer Club were present Wednesday night and all had a most enjoyable time. Ed. Lane, who was in charge of the affair, waa as busy as Harry Parker m the holiday season when everybody wanted to send their pictures to everybody else as a Christinas gift, snd all of which strenuous activity was due to Harry’s placing some real pointed readers in the Republican. But we started out to say that Ed. Lane was busy.- His activity rivaled that of the European “upper crust to show “Our Woody” a good time. If Woody had a better time over there eating off of those golden .plates and drinking out of cups as valuable as the Holy Grail, than the fellows had at the club Wednesday evening, he was sure going some. Everybody enjoyed the card games and all thought they were the best players, and an interview with the members-separately brought out the fact that each was the winner of the prize and easily the best player present. . . T.. Cigars were plentiful, and a stranger had entered the rooms he would have thought that a smoke barrage preceding the whole English navy was at hand. The lunch served by Robertson ®. Viant of the Princess was a real princess feast. A supply of food sufficient to sustain a regiment of soldiers iff Russia was completely exhausted. Not even a crust of pie was left. * _ Everybody had a good time. The writer did not stay for the entire performance, but we were sure when we departed for home that the Worland ambulance would be called for Ed Lane, and we were uncertain whether he would be taken to his home or the hospital. Ed is as strenuous as Roosevelt, and if he held out to the ninth inning he sure has a Jess Willard constitution. He could beat Battling Nelson in taking punishment.

WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?

Our Hanging Grove correspondent mailed her letter Thursday morning on train No. 40, the milk train, which arrived here at 7:30 a. m. The mail messenger’s stamp of this train and date was on the envelope. This letter did not get into the Republican’s post office box until noon Thursday. Either the messenger on the milk train carried this letter by and it returned to Rensselaer at 10:55 a. m., or the clerk or postmaster here failed to get it into Yhe box until after the letter had been m the office for some considerable time. Possibly, like many other letters, it dodged the correct box, and was taken out by some later.
