Of a like stripe Is tho noise raised by the same llrynn organ over the alleged Sulu agreement. It has paraded over aud over ugaln the terms of tho memorandum given by General Hates tn the sultan at the tlmo the latter gave formal recognition to the sovereignty of tho United States over his Island. The charge Is made that this dor- went out. To that extent spoils politics of that picturesque regiment In tho Inst had been robbed of Its Hilng. Thcro was 1 war, which te3tlfy to his untiring energy even less repose in the Navy department I as a recorder ns well as a maker of his when ho went there iib ass'stnnt sot.ro ary, 1 tory. Tho secret of that Is tno story of the frish from the fight In Mulberry strett. to sharpen tho tools of war. It had a' fa- , miliar sound to us In New York, when wo I heard tho cry go up that Itoosevclt wanted a row, nud didn't care what It cost. Ho wns asking, If I remember rightly, for something less than $1,000,000 for target practice on tho big Bhlps. Tho only notice ho took of It was to demand another $300,000 about the time ho got Dewey sent to tha east. I was In Washington at the t!m. and I remember asking him abcut that. Commodore Dewey waa sometimes spoken of in those days as if ho were a kind of fashion plate. And I remember h.s an swer, as wo were walking up Connecticut avenue: " 'Dowey Is nil right,' he said. 'Ho has .1 Hon heart. Ho Is tho man for that place.' "Not many of us will quarrel with him about that now. or nbout tho wisdom of shooting away that million In target prac tice. It made 'the man behind tho gun,' of whom we arc all so proud. Tho fact Is that Roosevelt, so far from being a hasty man given to snap Judgments, is ono of tho most far-sighted statesmen of any day. Ho has shown It In everything he has taken hold of. It wan in Washington as It was In New York. Tho thlug that beclouds the Judgment of his crltlc3 is the man's amaz ing capacity for work. Ho can weigh tho pros and cons of a case and get at the meat of it In less tlmo than It takes most of us to state the mere proposition. And he is surprisingly thorough. Nothing escapes him. Ills Judgment comes some times as n shock to the man of slower ways. He docs not stop at conventional ities. It a thlhg 1b right It Is to bo done and right away. It was notably so with tho round-robin In Cuba asking tho government to recall tho perishing army when It had won the fight. Penplo shook their hcadB and talked of precedents. Precedents! It has been Hoosovelt's business to make them most of his time,. Hut Is thcro any ono todny who thinks ho sot that one wrong? Certainly no one who with mo saw the army como home. It did not como n day too soon. (iiiliiK in the Front, "When he bad done his work for the ships and resigned his ofllce to take the field tho croakers shouted that at last ho had made tho mlstako of his life all to get Into a scrap. Ills men didn't think so when ho lay with them In tho trenches before San tiago, sharing his last biscuit with them They got to know hlra thcro nnd to love htm. I know what It cost him to leave his Blck wifo and hla babies. I wanted to keep him at homo, but I saw him go with pride, becauso I know ho went at tho call of duty. He thought tho war Just und right. Ho had dono what ho could to bring If on as the only means of stopping Iho murder In Cuba nud he went to do his share of tho lighting as a matter of right and of ex ample to tho young men to whom ho waB a typo of tho citizen and tho patriot. As that typo when ho camo homo we mado him our governor In New York state. W 0 ran him on tho pledge of his record tho plcdgo of honesty, manhood nnd courage and ho kept tho pledge. I shnll let some ono else tell tho story of that. Just let mo recall tho last trip wo took togother, becauso 11 was so much liko tho old days In Mulberry street. There had arisen n contention a to whether tho factory Inspector did his duty by tho swent shops or not and from tho testimony ho was unnblo to decldo. So ho enmo down from Albany to see for himself. It wns a sweltering hot day when we made n tour of th- stewing tenements on the down town cast side I doubt If any other governor ih.i. eer was would at tempt It. I know that nono over did. Hut ho nevor shirked ono of tho twenty houses wc had marked out for exploration. Ho examined tho evidence In each, whllo the tenants wondered who tho stranger was who took so much Interest In their affairs, and as the result ho was ablo to mark out a course for tho factory Inspector that ought to double and treble tho clllclency of his olnco and bring untold rollof to a hundred thousand tenement house workers If It Is followed when Hoosevolt Is no longer. In Albany. That will bo our end 0f It to see to it that ho did not labor in vain. "That Is Roosevelt as I saw him dally during thoso good years whou things wo had hoped for wero done.

"Tho elder Thcodoro Roosevelt was a man with the same Bane nnd practical In terest In his fellow man that his son has shown.

Dr. Henry Field told mo onco thut ho always, occupied as ho was with the man agement of a successful business, on prin ciple gave ono day of tho six to visiting tho poor In their homes. Apparently tho analogy between fnther and son might bo carried farther, to Includo oven tho famous round-robin, for, upon tho sumo authority, It was tho elder Theodore Itoosovclt who went to Washington after tho llrst Bull Run nnd warned President Lincoln that ho must get rid of Simon Cameron as secretary of war, with the result that Mr. Stanton, the. 'Organizer of Victory,' took his placo. When tho war was fairly under way It was Theodore Hoosevolt who organized the allotment plan, which saved to the families of 80,000 soldiers of New York Btato moro than $5,000,000 of their pay, nnd when tho war was over ho protected the Holdlers against sharks that lay In wait for them and saw to It tlint they got employment.
