taken on the heroism of war and of 
peace may well make our boys think 
nd our men ponder concerning their 
eivic relations. Mr. Warner’ well 
says, 
“But we must not lose sight of 
the fact that these quiet days of 
peace call for living that needs be 
as heroic as was death 50 years ago. 
There is our danger. We cannot over 
emphasize the sacrifice and heroism 
of the fathers who died, but we do 
not lay enough stress upon the nec- 
essary herioc quality of all right and 
altruistic living for today. The boy 
is sometimes almost led to hope for 
another crisis of the nation that will 
‘call him to arms that he too may 
show his heroic mettle and die for 
his land and home; whereas it may 
take more courage to live than to 
die, and times of peace may test the 
‘stuff of which brave souls are made 
“more than wars. A young man fresh 
from college and law school, charged 
up San Juan Hill. He said after- 
ward that he enjoyed it when he got 
into the midst of the fray. The thing 
that tested his manhood and courage 
‘came three years afterward when he 
‘was a poor and strugging lawyer in 
New York City. He was offered a 
large sum of money and an assured 
future if he would become the hench- 
man of a corrupt politician. Tie 
test of poverty with honor, or pros- 
‘perity with inward shame tried his 
heroism and called for more courage 
than the rushing into the face of the

that he is a great man. He has re- 
imarkable powers ot adapting himseit 
to conditions as they present. them- 
selves and he knows the vote catch-

for the pretended rights of the peo-

existence of Theodore Roosevelt,

is as far as the attacks upon that 
man should go and the unethical 
assaults made by certain disreput- 
able newspapers have been unwise 
as well as unfair. An editorial writer 
is responsible in no small degree for 
the effect which his opinion or bias

In previous years to gain a livelihood 
at the expeuse of the health of the 
race in the Lquor business was uL- 
balanced by newspaper attacks upon 
the third term candidate. Are not 
the publishers of such papers partly 
responsible for the attack? Il ortu- 
nately Mr. Roosevelt escaped death 
and in his escape the public rejoices. 
Mr. Roosevelt controlled himself with 
remarkable ability and seized the al- 
fair with dramatic success. ‘‘Teddy’’ 
never fails to ‘‘catch the crowd.’’ 
His dramatic address cannot but re- 
ceive the admiration of all. The at- 
tack has meant many, many votes to 
him but it can not change the re- 
sult of the election. Because he has 
been maliciously attacked does not 
add another argument to the reasons 
why he should be elected President. 
On the other hand Mr. Roosevelt 
never showed his greatness of mind 
more than when he selected Mr. Taft 
as his successor and while it has
