SAGAMORE HILL TO BECOME SHRINE OF HONESTY AND TRUTH
QUALITIES EXEMPLIFIED IN THE, PERSON OF ROOSEVfeLT ADD 1 WEIGHT TO MEMORIAL. What does it mean to the nation, this organization which proposes to erect memorials’ for Roosevelt It means the same thing "that wat when thoaa.„ .whaJ..~foUawed. Washington, laboredtomakethejde* of love of liberty universal. It means the same thing that was meant when those who followed Lin coin did all in their power to further national unity. ’ It means that those who understood and believed the Roosevelt doctrine of progress are now beginning a campal gn forthe propagationof nation a I purity, honesty and courage. ' There will be no miracle of swift understanding among the people, no sudden acceptance of ideas. The upbuilding of the nation along these lines must come through gradual education. There may be, and no doubt will be, sporadic cases of the old revival spirit that will sweep certain sections. Under the fervor of such excitement many will swear allegiance to truth, honesty, unselfish loyalty and higher Americanism, who will later fall before the onslaught of expediency, timidity and cupidity, but many will abide. This war has taught much of national duty and has wakened many a soul that was still in the fog and darkness of an old life it sought to leave. Now is the time to take up the task of showing to these souls that what they have seen is not merely a flash of vanishing light, but the first gleam of a better day in America. —From the foundation already laid, it is proposed to ’builiLa more solid and“permanent structure of national life. Through a steady, unswerving devotion to an idea, to bring about righteousness through education, until it will become the national habit. No man whose soul is clean will ever deny the advantage of plain understandings and honesty in public as well as private life. The square deal will be urged and taught until dishonesty has been driven out of municipal, state and national life. No real American will ever dispute the wholesomeness of the idea that those permanently in America must be Americanized. So will the ideal* and ideas of our nation at. its best be taught by the society and induced by having the life and words of one who was long the apostle of true Americanism constantly presented. The monument and the park will be reminders, to every thinking person who views them, of the faith of Roosevelt in his nation and his love for her. As Mt. Vernon has been the shrine of liberty, so will Sagamore Hill become the shrine of public honesty and truth. | It is good to remember the good. It is helpful to reekllthe men who stood for the best in t)ielr day. David stands out like a giant among the puny of his day. St. Paul’s record shines like the glory of the morning sun. Luther, Knox, Washington, i Idncoln, Roosevelt, stand as beacon i lights, warning against the shoals and rocks, beckoning to the safe harbors I This organization means the strengthening of the nation through the promulgation of truth arid right- : eousness. Courage, honesty, truth, purity of life. as exemplified in the of Theodore Roosevelt, will - p4d in t he- immortali z.at ion of America. Rome died of immortality. The United States of America has been shown life everlasting, through a strict code of morals. The Roosevelt Memorial Association will do its part towards the national acceptance of th'at code.
ROOSEVELT’S IDEALS EVER AN INSPIRATION
(By Leonard Wood, Major-General. UnitedStatesArmy) Theodore Roosevelt was a leader in ideals and in action. He stood for the square deal, one flag, one language and one loyalty—loyalty to the American + people—for industrial justice, for public and private morality, for a strong and vigorous America, charitable and helpful, ever ready to do her duty to civilization and humanity, but an America acting always under the dictates of her own conscience, rather than under the direction of others. He stood for universal service in war as well as in peace. Service for each one s wherever he could best serve. His memory will live among us always, and his life and ideals will serve as an inspiration for all that is best in citizenship.
AMERICA’S LOSS, SAYS GOMPERS
(By Samuel Gompers, President American Federation Labor) Colonel Roosevelt’s life was full to the brim. His energy, courage, ability to do were marvelous. I knew him for more than a third of a century. During that period we were often enlisted in the same cause. This gave me a true knowledge of his wonderful character, his leadership, his sincerity of purpose and his anxiety to serve the people. His motives were of the highest. America, he world, has lost a great man.
THE EVENING REPUBLI CAN, RENSSELAER, INP.
GREAT EXPONENT OF LIBERTY
Simon de Montfort, Earl of Leicester, Known as "Father of English House ®f Common*." The first great democrat in England was Simon de Montfort, earl of Leicester, who was slain in battle 654 years ago as the leader of the rebellious barons. Simon de Montfort was also the spokesman for the great masses of' the people, and he held that It was the duty of the nobles to stand between the people and the monarch as guardians of their liberties, to wr.fch over the exercise of the royate power and prevent its abuse. In the great battle of Lewes in 1264 the barons, under the command of de Montfort, completely defeated the king and the royalist party. In the battle of Evesham on August 4 of the following year the tables were turned and the democratic earl was killed and the barons sustained a ruinous defeat During the.brief period of Simon’s ascendency, however, lie had laid the foundation for the house of commons and had inspired in the breasts of the people a devotion to liberty and democracy never to be stamped out by royal oppression. “Every king is ruled by the laws,” declared Simon de Montfort, and he held that the "generality” should have a hand In the making of the laws by which they, as well as thejnonarch, were to be governed. Simon de Montfort’s immortal place in history is Indicated by the reverent title historians have given him — “the Father of the English House of Commons.”
GREEKS HAD FORM OF TENNIS
That the Game Is an Old One Is Sure, but Its Origin Is Hard to Trace. Discussion of possible changes in ~the teririlnblbgy of tennis naturally includes the name Itself; and here there are many possible origins. The game, in one form or another, is very old. 'The GreeKs Xnbcked a ball back and forth and called the exercise “phenols,” for which the Roman name was “teniludium.” “Phennls” and “tenlludluin” were ancestors probably of the similar French sport in the middle ages, and modern tennis may, for that matter, have been named from the province of Tennois, where this game was exceedingly popular. Possibly, but improbably, the name is derived from the French “tenez,” in the sense of "get ready.” “Deuce” is generally accepted as another form of the French “deux,” but “racquets’’ has several possible sources, the most likely, perhaps being the old medieval word “rachette,” meaning the palm of the hand, when rhe game was played like modern handball. Chaucer and Shakespeare both knew the game in England, and, whether or not they played it, had doubtless looked on with satisfaction, as did Queen Elizabeth.
Would Seem to Be His Right.
A suggestion has been made that if the Brltishliag is to be again unfuriedj above Helgoland, Henry Hedger, verger of the parish at Herne Bay, Kent, Eng., be engaged to -raise the emblem. He it was who hauled down the Union Jack August 9, 1890, when the Island passed into the control of the German empire. He was then a coast guardsman, and is now a vigorous man of between 60 and 70 years. Mrs. Hedger recalls her four years on th? Island chiefly by the birth of their youngest sop, who grew' up to be one of the cunteniptibles, who helped to hinder Prussia’s march through France, but fell in the attempt: Ttie family left the Island the day it was taken out of British conwlth flags and bunting prior to the visit of the kaiser. All the British official population left at the same time.
World’s Lepers.
The American secretary for the Mission of Lepers estimates that there are not fewer than 2,000,000 lepers In the world, 6,000 of whom have been converted to Christianity. Apropos of this, the Hawaiian legislature has just offered to pension Bro. Joseph Dutton, who succeeded Father Damien at the leper settlement on Molokai. Brother Dutton has not been off the lepet Island for 33 years and has spent $lO,000 of his own ifaoney to relieve the poor creatures among whom he lives. But he refused the pension, wishing no reward and expecting to work on to the end in the cause to which he long ago devoted his life. The world has heroes of whom it rarely hears; and It cannot be otherwise than that such self-sacrifice must win a higher reward than governments or the plaudits of peoples can confer.
National Redwood Park.
A movement Is on foot in California to turn the redwood forests of that state Into a great national memorial, park to serve as a monument to the American war heroes. ■ Those behind the proposal feel that there are many elements of deep and appealing interest In the proposition. As many of these giant trees were old when what the world calls civilization was young It Is felt that these trees of the agei belong not exclusively to any state nation, or people, but are the heritage of the race and should be preserve< for the recreation and pleasure of all ( the peoples of the earth. An additional ( argument In favor of establishing the National Redwood park is that its es- ( tablishment would at once constitute • great and much-needed constuctiVO work of national conservation. |
NEWBERRY—100 PER CENT AMERICAN.
Announcement by the administration that it will conduct a prosecution of charges of improper campaign methods in the senatorial contest in Michigan which resulted in the election of Truman H. Newberry, makes it pertinent to call to the attention of the .public some of the demonstrated qualifications and characteristics of the man whom the people of Michigan chose 'in preference to Henry Ford—the administration’s selection for the position. - ■ .It will be remembered that after terminating- a visit at ‘ the white house, Mr. Ford remarked that he had no desire to be a candidate for the Michigan senatorship, but had consented at the solicitation of. the president. Of Mr. Ford’s qualifications the public was amply informed during the trial of the milliondollar libel suit against the Chicago Tribune, as a result of which Mr. Ford secured a judgment for six cents, after having been called an anarchist and an ignorant idealist. Admiral “Fighting -Boh Evans” once said: “Truman H. Newberry is the greatest secretary of the navy the country has ever had.” He might well have been the greatest secretary,- as his “training had thoroughly equipped him for the responsibility of such an office. After graduating from Yale in 1885, he tool a course in the “school of hard knocks.” He worked with a construction gang on the old Detroit, Bay City and Alpena railroad. Demonstrated ability won him the position of general freight and passenger agent, and, later, the presidency of the Detroit Stell 'and Spring company arid the Detroit Steel Cast-
ing company. Study gained him recognition as an authority on ships that docked on the water-front of Detroit, and by actual experience he secured the training that earned him a license as a first-class pilot. In 1895 his practical knowledge was put to use for the benefit of the nation when ce assisted in organizing the Michigan Naval brigade, in which he enlisted 'as a private. After two years of drill and scrubbing decks, he was elected lieutenant and navigating officer of the Detroit unit, and when war was declared with Spain he was sent by the governor of Michigan, in response to the call of Assistant Secretary of the Navy Theodore Roosevelt for a complement of naval militia officers and men, for service on the U. S. S. Yosemite. He warn in the thick of the naval engagement off San Juan on June 28, 18&8. He was one of the first men ashore when the marines landed on Spanish soil at Guantanamo Island. Because of his thorough training in the details of construction work and in the management of large manufacturing enterprises, his practical experience in seamanship in every branch of the service and his
demonstrated courage, President Roosevelt selected him for a place in the cabinet as secretary of the navy. It is no wonder, therefore, that in 1917, when the United States needed men of ability to aid in the prosecution of the war with Germany, President Wilson commissioned Truman H. Newberry as a commander in the United States navy. Not once from the time of his appointment did he leave his post of duty. Not only did Truman H. Newberry render personal service in the figting forces during the war, but he gladly consented to the* desire of his twin sons, Barnes and Phelps, twenty-four years old, to enlist for active service, the former as an ensign “somewhere on the Atlantic,” and the latter as a major in the. aviation corps. His son-in-law, thehwsbandofhisonlydaughter,
saw active service in France, and his wife devoted her time almost exclusive lyto RedCrosswork-in the cjty of New York, abandoning used entirely for the work of the Michigan Red Cross contingent in the preparation of bandages, dressings and other necessities for the relief of wounded and sick soldiers across the sea. This brief summary of the work of Truman H. Newberry presents facts not generally known to the people of the United States. It is well that they should be known, when all the power of the administration has been exerted to secure the election to the United States senate of a man who did all that was in his power to discourage preparation for America’s part in the war, who inspired disrespect for the American flag, who rendered no personal service .in the hour of the country’s need and who had his own son exempted from the draft, while sons of other men of equal importance to industry bared their breasts to the bullets and bayonets of the hun. It is acknowledged that a large sum of money was spent by friends and relatives in behalf of the nomination of Truman H. Newberry. A large expense was necessary in order to overcome the unfair and un-American use of the power of the federal administration in an attempt to influence and control a state election. For more than one year prior to the primary election, Newberry had not been in the state of Michigan and was not there until four months after he was nominated. Under such conditions it took courage and self-sacrifice to save Michigan from the ignominy which Woodrow Wilson endeavored to heap upon it by forcing the election of such a man as Ford. . The amazing and almost incredible disclosure that the administration 'still persists in its preference for 'Ford over Newberry and will use 'the power of the administration in an effort to invalidate the Michigan ’election should arouse the active interest of every American, whether .residing in Michigan or elsewhere, iwho desires to see in the United

Attorney A. D. Babcock, of Goodland, has set out to break a few records of the Newton circuit court, and perhaps a few other courts. Mr. Babcock was admitted to the local bar in 1885,- on motion of the late John H. Ash. On the second of June, 1910, Mr. Babcock’s eldest son, James, was admitted to practice in this court This was <Jn the latter’s twenty-first birthday. Thursday of last week his second son, Augustus D., was admitted, and this lad was just past twenty-one. The third son, Charles, is now a student in Wabash college, and Mr. Babcock expects to present his name to the court next October, just following the date of his majority, for admission to the bar. A father and three sons all being admitted to the same bar is surely some record, and one to be proud of.—-Kentland Enterprise.
