I thought of him in South America, as a discov-: erer of new animals, new birds and new streams. “I thought of him back in America, engaged in all kinds of war activities, | and finally tendering the service of himself and ten of thousands of men too old for the draft age for service overseas to back up our boys in the1 trenches. I thought of him as the writer of hundreds of newspaper and magazine articles, and, incidentally, rehabilitating the party he had de-! stroyed temporarily, and making foi it an issue which won back its suprem acy in both branches of congress in 1919. “I thought of him finally at Oyster j Bay, preaching to his neighbors in the little church there, and then at Hs hearthstone surrounded by his grandchildren, while their fathers, his sons, were “Over There,” fighting for the spread of democracy and Chris tianity throughout the world, and in defense of their flag. I thought of him out on the lawn, with his aims around the neck of Quintin’s pony, giving expression to a broken heart, and then retiring to his bed chamber on Sunday night, kissing his faith ful wife good night, and saying to his faithful attendant, ‘turn out the light, good night,’ and how his sweet spirit winged its flight to its last resting place, and I said, ‘Yes, indeed, Theo dore Roosevelt lived six hundred years, so full was his life.” “Big in intellect, great in heart, grand in soul, president of the United States at forty-three years of age, feeling deeply the responsibilities of ' is great office, he often sent through out the nation for the wisest men to advise him, and often took their ad vice, but he knew no dictator, but bis conscience, no guide but bis judgment, and no purpose but to serve bis coun try. Where duty led. he followed, heedless of results, regardless of mis fortunes, and thoughtless of reward. He was a model citizen, a devout hus band, a loving father and a faithful friend. He was a patriot who put principle above party, and a states man who worshipped at the shrine of truth. For his patriotism we honored him; for his services to his country, we loved him: and since we loved him -md honored him in life, we revere him in death, and strew earth’s bright est flowers upon his grave. “For motives we do not comnrehend, "" masons we do not understand, it may be just as well for the bursting h.-H to be kil’ed bv the earlv frost. to live until the snows of winter r-ert bis bair, chill his thoughts, and r.-eeso his heart. Colonel Roosevelt died young for a man of his activities; b”t he approached his grave ‘like one " ho wraps the drapery of his couch ..v„.,t him. and lies down to pleasant “Dneam on. O Sainted Dead! Through seed rime and harvest, through sunshine ad shadow, through —inter’s stomn and summer’s calm, -l-aim on! Dream on until the an ~ni.Y harbingers of the resurrection chad arouse thee fcom thev slumbers, an^l shall usher thee through the . tea of narad'se into the im -nvishab'e iovs of the Lord! “ ‘Wosband, father, friend, r'" rewell!

TWO INTERESTING LETTERS War Department, Washington, June 11, 1919. Dear Mr. Secretary” Now that the especial work I was called to Washington to do is at an end, and also because of private ar rangements which become effective July 1, I am writing to tender my resignation to take effect June 30, 1919. Before retiring, however, I wish to convey to you this expression of my heartfelt appreciation of the privilege and honor of serving in your office during the war as special assistant, advising in matters affecting Colored : oldiers and Americans generally. It has been to me an experience of great est moment, and I have sought dili gently i.nd as effectively as possible to serve the great cause in which all racial groups of Americans have had an interest in common. 1 shall carry back into civilian life the pleasantest recollections of your generous consideration, marked confi dence, and extreme courtesy during the nearly twenty-one months I have been here. Likewise, I am pleased to testify as to the uniform courtesy and consideration which have been shown me at a'l times by your entire office fe'ce. I am to remain in Washington as secretary-treasurer of Howard uni versity, and shall be pleased at any time to respond to any call for service wherein my judgment may be of value. Sincerely yours, EMMETT J. SCOTT. Hon. Newton D. Baker, Secretary of War, Washington, D. C. War Department, Washington, June 13, 1919. Dear Mr. Scott: I have just received your letter of June 11, tendering your resignation to take effect June 30, 1919, and have noted my acceptance upon the paper. As you thus bring to an end your reriod of association with the depart ment, I take the opportunity to ex press my deep appreciation of the fi delity, zeal, and intelligence with which you have done the work en t listed to you. That it was difficult goes without saying; but your uni form svmpathv and courtesy has. I feel very sure, enabled the war de partment to make clear to the Colored people of the United States its earn est desire to see their service in the great war rendered under circum stances satisfying alike to their am b'^'on and pride. Taking it all in all, the relations between the war department and the Colored people of America have been : ymnathetics and helpful, the service 'tndered by Colored soldiers ami civ ilians has been conspicuous, and 1 t> ust that permanent value will accrue to the race, as well as to the country generally, from this great experience. Cordially yours, NEWTON D. BAKER Secretary of War. Mr. Emmett J. Scott, War Depart ment. NORTH CAROLINA MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE HOLDS 201 H ANNIVERSARY CELEBR \TION T>.N.

Ask you, the one who stayed At home in safety and comfort If a real man’s game you've played. While we were in the trenches. Or “Over the Top” in a raid We wonder how you spent your time Whether you be man or maid. Did you do your bit back home there Were you always on the job, Working for our welfare Whether Soldier, Marine or Gob. Did your dollars help swell the Lib erty Loan Did you to the Red Cross give. Did you grieve for those of us who died, Died that you might live. Did you do the things that were clean and right, Or the things that were mean and wrong, Did you keep the promises made to us Or were you just stringing us along. Did you try to protect our mothers or wives Try to sooth the grief and pain . Occasioned by our going, Or did you think only of gain. Did you help to keep us supplied with smokes And how did you cast your vote Did you consider us at the ballot box Or did you make us the goat. Did you try to keep our jobs for us, Or try from us to steal. To put it short, did you give to us A clean, or a dirty deal. We’re coming home, two million strong, Our work over here is done And we’ll want to know just what; you are And just what you have done. We’re coming home with eyes to sec And we’re neither dumb or deaf So prepare for a full accounting To the men of the A. E. F.
