FRANK LIN TIIRIFTOGRAMS Wisdom From Man Whose Birthday, January 17, Has Been Made Nation al War Savings Day. “Save and have.” “A rolling stone gathers no moss.” “God helps those that help them selves.” "He that waits on fortune is never sure of a dinner." “For age and want save while you may; No morning sun last a whole day.” “A penny saved is two pence clear; A pin a day is a groat a year.” “The thrifty maxim of the wary Dutch Is to save all the money they can touch.” “All things are cheap to the saving, dear to the wasteful.” "Beware of small expenses; a small leak will sink a great ship.” “The way to wealth, if you desire it, is as plain as the way to market.” “It is easier to suppress the first desire than to satisfy all that follow it.” "If you would know the value of money, go and try to borrow some; for he that goes a borrowing goes a sorrowing.” “A man may, if he knows not how to save as he gets, keep his nose all his life to the grindstone, and die not ' worth a groat at last." LOCAL OPINIONS OF ROOSEVELT What Some of Omaha’s Colored Citi zens Have to Say of the Passing of Theodore Roosevelt. The Monitor has asked several of its readers for brief expressions of their opinion of the late Theodore Roosevelt. The following symposium will prove interesting: “He was the greatest citizen of the greatest country of the world.”—Fred C. Williams. “It is difficult for me to say what I think of Roosevelt. He was in a class by himself. He had one of the brightest minds of the day. In his passing the world has lost one of its greatest men and the staunchest friends of the Negro.”—E. W. Pryor. “Roosevelt was one of the best friends of the Colored man ever had and had traits which made him ad mired by all. The race has lost its ablest defender.”—Dr. P. W. Sawyer. “I think he was one of the greatest Americans who has ever lived and ex ceptionally fair to all.”—W. T. Ad ams. “Col. Roosevelt was one of the most fearless exponents in America since the days of Lincoln. In his death the Negro loses its greatest living cham pion.”—Amos P. Scruggs. “In the passing of Mr. Roosevelt the Negro race has lost its greatest cham pion. He was strong and big*enough to influence enough people in the right direction, that ultimately end in justice for all who deserved it. I ad mired him all the time and shall al ways revere his memory.”—Dan. Des dunes. “I think that Roosevelt has made less mistakes than any man who ever lived. Personally I know of no mis take he ever made. He did not double cross the republican party. It dou ble-crossed him,and he showed it. We have lost a true friend.”—J. H. Broom field. "My opinion of Roosevelt is that he was a mighty good man. I think he did more for the Colored man than any president who ever lived.”—W. C. Crigler. “I do not think that Mr. Roosevelt had any superior in any walk of life in this country. He was sincere in everything he undertook and was fear less in any move that presented itself for his approval or disapproval. The race dost a champion whose place will be hard to fill.”—S. T. Phannix. “1 think Roosevelt would have saved this country from the war, had he been president. He told the Kaiser what w'as what in the Argentine af fair and that settled it. He was right in withdrawing from tire republican party at the time he did. He was a big man in every sense of the word.” —Arthur W. Campbell. “Always fair and just and his thoughts were elegantly concise,”-—T. C. Ross. “One ofthe world’s really great men. The bravest and truest friend the American Negro has had among white men for the last half century.” —Griffin G. Logan. “I feel that in the death of Theo dore Roosevelt the world lost a great man and the Colored race its loyalest friend.”—Jas. G. Jewel. "The Negro race has lost its most sincere ami consistent friend. He not only fearlessly expressed his senti ments, but showed them by his actions as Goverpor of New York and as President of the United States.”— Nate Hunter. “Theodore Roosevelt was a man to be admired because of his fairness and his will to do and fight for princi ples in the face of the strongest criti cisms.”—Guy B. Robbins. "Roosevelt stood for the rights of mankind everywhere. He was fore ighted broad-minded and sagacious. He was America’s foremost citizen, standing unqualifiedly for the uplift of mankind.”—A. Chisley. “The death of Roosevelt is a great calamity, especially at the critical period of reconstruction. He was a great man. He believed in the broth erhood of men. He was strongly op posed to race discrimination. The Col ored people will greatly miss him as he was their loyal and staunch friend until the last. He was the greatest defender of human rights since Lin coln.”—M. F, Singleton. “In the death of Theodore Roose velt the American nation has lost one of her greatest characters.”—Dr. L. E. Britt.
