say right hero that there Is n much larg r

"Wo had been trying for forty years to

grnnd Juries, academies of medicine, com
mittees of philanthropic clll.ons, had at
tacked tho foul disgrace, but to no purpose.
Pestilence ravaged tho prison lodgings, but
still they stayed. I know what that fight
meant; for I vns ono of a committee that
waged It year after year and suffered de

Of a like stripe Is tho noise raised by the

ugaln the terms of tho memorandum given
by General Hates tn the sultan at the tlmo

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.

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.
"That was tho father.. I havo told you
what tho son Is like. A mun with red
blood In his veins; a healthy patriot, with no
clap-trap Jingoism about him, but a rugged
bollcf in America and Its mission; an In
tense lovor of country and Hag. a vigorous
optimist, a bollever in men, who lookB for
tho good in thorn and finds It. Practical In
partisanship; loynl, trusting and gcntlo as
a friend; unselfish, modest as a woman:
clean-handed and clcan-hcarlcd nnd honest
to the coro. In tho splendid vigor of his
young manhood ho Is tho knlghtllest figure
in American politics todny, tho fittest ex
ponent of his country's Idea and tho model
for Its young sons who aro coming to tnko
up tho task ho sot them. Kor their sako I
nm willing to give hlra up and set him
whero they can all sco and strive to be
like him. So wo shall havo llttlo need of
bothering about bosa rulo and mlsrulo
horcaftor. Wo Bhall farm out tho Job of
running tho machine no longer; wo shall
bo ablo to run It ourselves.
"When It comes to that tho vice presi
dency 1b not going to kill Thcodoro Roose
velt. It will tako a good deal moro than
that to do It."

"When In Hoiuc
At a recent pink tea given by a woman In
this city, reports the Bait Luke Tribune, a
very dignified young woman nnd a Utah
battery man happened to bo seated at the
aroo table.
Tho conversation lugged for a moment

what Is tho difference In dress between the
women of Manila and thoso In Honolulu; I
understand that tho women in Honolulu
wear wrappers."
"That Is tho difference," replied the young
volunteer, ' tho women In .Manila don't.
In relating tho story the young man said:
