ROOSEVELT HONORED
AT TUSKEGEE FOUNDERS’
DAY EXERCISES
(Continued From Page One.)
party he loved for its temporary
weakness, and in this connection I
want to say there was no more sin
cere mourner at the bier of Theodore
Roosevelt than William Howard Taft,
and in this connection I want to say ;
further it is not impossible, yea, not i
improbable, that Mr. Taft will be the
successful standard bearer of the re
publican party in 1920. 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

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.

ment.

ing in ten states and the District of
Columbia, with 500,000 insured; over
half million invested in staple assets
including $200,000 in United States

manager; J. M. Avery, assistant gen
eral manager; E. R. Merrick, assist

of the A. M. E. Church Review. He
discussed the power of organization.
He urged the Negro to wake up and
know his strength. Others knew it

WHAT WE WANT TO KNOW
•Special to The Monitor by Sgt. Clar
ence R. Gordon, Brest, France.
“HAVE YOU DONE YOUR BIT”
We the men of the A. E. F.
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.
The glory of a good man is the tes
timony of a good conscience.—Thomas
a-Kempis.
