Theodore HooseiJelt's Father.
Theodore Roosevelt is the youngest
American citizen who has ever been
called to the head of our nation. He
was horn in New York City. October
27. 1858, bis father, after whom he was
named, being a prominent merchant,
a patriot, a philanthropist, and a mov
ing spirit in the Civil War. The elder
Theodore Roosevelt went to Washing
ton after the iirst Hattie of Bull Run,
and warned President Lincoln that he
must get rid of Simon Cameron as Sec
retary of War. with the result that
Mr Stanton, the “organizer of vic
tory,” took his place. When the war
was fairly under way, it was Theodore
Roosevelt who organized the allotment
plan, which saved the families of
eighty thousand soldiers of New York
State more than five million dollars of
their pay; and when the war was over
he protected the soldiers against the
sharks that lay In wait for them, and
saw to it that they got employment.
Through his Influence the New York
newsboys' lodging-house system anil
many other institutions of public bene
fit and helpful charity were established.
There were four children in the Roose
velt family, of whom Theodore was the
second. There were two hoys anil two
girls. A younger brother was killed in
a railroad accident, and the hopes of
the father were centered on Theodore.
At the age of five or six, Theodore gave
little promise of maintaining the pres
tige of the Roosevelt family line.
tShe President's Forty "Boyhood.
He was a puny, sickly, delicate boy.
Some one who knew him in those days
of the Civil War described him as a
“weak-eyed, pig-chested boy. who was
too frail to take part in the sports of
lads of his age.” When lie arrived at
the age of six, he was sent to the
famous old McMullen School, where he
remained for eight years. It was not,
however, in New York that the boy
Roosevelt spent with most profit the
months to which he looks back witii
pleasure. The elder Roosevelt believed
that children best thrive in the coun
try. Ho selected a beautiful spot near
the village of Oyster Bay, on the north
shore of Long Island, and erected a
country house which well deserves its
title, “Tranquility." Here it was among
the hills which border the sound and
the bay, that Theodore Roosevelt and
his brother and sisters spent the long
summer months. At fourteen Theodore
was admitted to t.i.3 Cutler School, a
private academy in New York conduct
ed by Arthur H. Cutler. Here he took
the preparatory course for Harvard
University, making rapid advancement
tinder the careful tuition of Mir. Cutler,
and graduating with honors.
“Becomes an Athlete.
By careful attention and plenty of
gymnasium exercise and out-of-door
life his frame became more sturdy and
Ills health vastly improved. It thus
happened that when young Roosevelt
entered on college life at Harvard. In
1875, he suffered little by comparison
with hoys of his age. While he did not
stand in the front rank of athletics, he
was well above the average, and had
no reason to be ashamed of his physi
cal prowess.
Never for a waking moment was ho
idle. It was either study or exercise.
In addition to his regular studies and
special courses he took upon himself
the editorship of the college paper, and
made a success of it He was demo
cratic in his tastes Sind simple in his
mode of living. Theodore Roosevelt
was graduated from Harvard in 1880
with high honors, in spite of severe
study, his health was but little im
paired, and he at once started on a
foreign journey in search of instruc
tion, pleasure and adventure. He dis
tinguished himself as a mountain
climber, ascending the Jungfrau, the
Matterhorn and many other peaks, and
was made a member of the Alpine Club
of I-ondon.
Hog inj Aluay or
On his return to America he studied
law, and in the fall of 1881 he was
elected to the State Assembly from the
Twenty-first District of New York,
generally known as Jacob Hess's dis
trict.
By re-election he continued in the
body dui;ing the session of 1883 and
1884. He introduced Important reform
measures, and his entire legislative
career was made conspicuous by the
courage and zeal with which he as
sailed political abuses. As chairman of
the Committee on Cities he introduced
the measure which took from the
Board of Aldermen the power to con
firm or reject the appointments of the
.. ayor. He was chairman of the noted
legislative investigating committee
which bore his name. In 1884 he went
to the Bad Lands in Dakota, near the
"Pretty Buttes," where he built a log
cabin, and for several years mingled
the life of a ranchman with that of a
literary worker. From l is front door
he could shoot deer, and the mountains
around him were full of big game.
Amid such surroundings he wrote
some of his most popular books. He
became a daring horseman and a rival
Of the cowboys in feats of skill and
strength. In 1886 Mr. Roosevelt was
the Republican candidate lor Mayor
against Abram S. Hewitt, United
Democracy, and Henry George. United
{Labor. Mr. Hewitt was elected by
about twenty-two thousand plurality.
In 1889 Roosevelt was appointed by
President Harrison a member of the

United States Civil Service Commis
sion. His ability and rugged honesty
in the administration of the affairs of
that, office greatly helped to strengthen
his hold on popular regard.
Police Commissioner in Jfebu
VorK.
Roosevelt, continued in that office un
til May 1, 1895, when he resigned to
accept the office of Police Commis
sioner from Mayor Strong. He found
the administration of affairs in a de
moralized condition, but he soon
brought order out of chaos. Says James
A. Riis, who is an intimate friend of
President Roosevelt:
We hod been trying for forty years to
achieve a system of dealing decently with
our homeless poor. Two score years be
fore, the surgeons of the police depart
ment had pointed out that herding them
in the cellars or over the prisons of police
stations in festering heaps, and turning
them out hungry at daybreak to beg their
way from door to door, was indecent and
inhuman. Since then grand juries, acad
emies of medicine, committees on phil
anthropic citizens, bad attacked the foul
disgrace, but to no purpose. Pestilence
ravaged the prison lodgings, but still they
stayed. J know what that tight meant,
for I was one of a committee that waged
it year after year, and suffered defeat
every time, until Theodore Roosevelt
came and destroyed the nuisance in a
night. 1 remember the caricatures of
tramps shivering in the cold with which
the yellow newspapers pursued 1dm at
the time, labeling him the “poor man’s
foe.” And I remember being just a little
uneasy lest they wound him. and perhaps
make him think lie had been hasty. But
not he. it was only those who did not
know him who charged him with being
hasty. He thought a thing out quickly—
yes, that is his way; but he thought it
out, and, having thought it out. suited ac
tion to his Judgment. Of the consequences
he didn’t think at all. He made sure he
was right, and then went ahead with per
fect confidence that things would come
out right.
His Ad'Vice to Organized Labor.
Mr. Riis says he never saw Roose
velt to better advantage than when he
once confronted the labor men at their
meeting-place, Clarendon Hall:
The police were all the time having
trouble with strikers and their “pickets."
Roosevelt saw that it was because neith
er party understood fully the position of
the other, and, with his usual directness,
sent word to the labor organizations that ;
he would like to talk it over with them.
At his request l went with him to the
meeting. It developed almost Immedi
ately that the labor men had taken a
wrong measure of the man. They met him
as a politician ploying for points, and
hinted at trouble unless their demands
were met. Mr. Roosevelt broke them off
short:
“Gentlemen!” he said—with that snap
of the Jaws that always made people lis
ten—r'I asked to meet you, hoping that
we might come to understand one anoth
er. Remember, please, before we go fur
ther, that the worst injury anyone of you
can do to the cause of labor is to counsel
violence. It will also be worse for him
self. Understand distinctly that order
will be kept. The police will keep it. Now
we can proceed.”
I was never so proud and pleased as
when they applauded him to the echo. He
reddened with pleasure, for he saw that
the best in them had come out on top,
as he expected it would.
Attacked by "3}e!lobu" JWttus
papers.
It was of this incident that a handle
was first made by Mr. Roosevelt’s ene
mies in and out of the police board—
and he had many—to attack him:
It happened that there was a music
hall in the building in which the labor
men met. The yellow newspapers circu
lated the lie that he went there on pur
pose to see the show, and the ridiculous
story was repeated until actually the
liars persuaded themselves that It was so.
They would not have been able to under
stand the kind of man they had to do
with, had they tired. Accordingly they
fell Into their own trap. It is a tradition
of Mulberry Street that the notorious
Seeley dinner raid was planned by his en
emies in the department of which he was
the head, in the belief that they would
catch Mr. Roosevelt there. The dinners
were supposed to be his ”set.”
Some time after that, Mr. Riis was
in Roosevelt’s office when a police of
ficial of superior rank came In, and re
quested a private audience with him:
They stepped aside and the policeman
spoke In an undertone, urging something
strongly.. Mr. Roosevelt listened. Sud
denly l saw him straighten up as a man
recoils from something unclean, and dis
miss the other with u sharp: “No, sir! I
don’t fight that way." The policeman
went out crestfallen. Roosevelt took two
or three turns about the floor, struggling
evidently with strong disgust. He told
mo afterward that the man had come
to him with what he said was certain
knowledge that his enemy could that
night be found In a known evil house up
town, which it was his alleged habit to
visit. Ills proposition was to raid It then
and so “get square." To tho policeman it
must have seemed like throwing a good
chance away. But It was not Hoosevelt’s
way; he struck no blow below the belt.
In the governor’s chair afterward he gave
the politicians whom he fought, and who
fought him, the same terms. They tried
their best to upset him, for they had
nothing to expect from him. But they
knew and owned that he fought fair.
Their backs were secure. He never
tricked them to gain an advantage. A
prdmise given by him was always kept
to the letter.
Assistant Secretary of JVax)y.
Early in 1897 he was called by Presi
dent McKinley to give up his New
York office to become Assistant-Secre
tary of the Navy. His energy and
quick mastery of detail had much to
do with the speedy equipment of the
navy for its brilliant feats in the war
with Spain. It was he who suggested
Admiral Dewey for commander of the
Asiatic station.
Dewey was sometimes spoken of in
those days as if he were a kind of
fashion-plate. Roosevelt, however, had
faith In him, and while walking up
Connecticut avenue one day said to
Mr. Riis; "Dewey is all right. He has
a lion heart. He is the man for the
place'.” No one now doubts the wis
dom of his,selection, and naval officers
agree that the vemarkable skill in
marksmanship displayed by the Amer
ican gunners was due to his foresight.
He saw the necessity of practice, and
he thought it the best kind of economy
to burn up ammunition in acquiring
skill.
A characteristic story Is told regard
ing Roosevelt's insistence on practice
in the navy.
Shortly after bis appointment he
asked for an appropriation of $800,000
for ammunition, powder, and shot for
the navy. The appropriation was
made, and a few months later he asked
for another appropriation, this time
of $500,000. When asked by the proper
authorities what had become of the
first appropriation, he replied: “Every
cent of it was spent for powder and
shot, and every bit of powder and shot
has been fired.” When he was asked
what he was going to do with the $500,
000, he replied: “Use every ounce of
that, too. within the next thirty days
in practice shooting.”
His Cuban war “Record.
Soon after the outbreak of the war,
however, his patriotism and love of
active life led him to leave the compar
ative quiet of his government office for
service in the field. As a lieutenant
colonel of volunteers he recruited the
First Volunteer Cavalry, popularly
known as the “Rough Riders.” The
men were gathered largely from the
cowboys of the west and southwest,
but also numbered many college-bred
men of the east. In the beginning he
was second in command, with the rank
of lieutenant-colonel, Dr. Leonard
Wood being colonel. But at the close
of the war the latter was a brigadier
general and Roosevelt was colonel in
command. Since no horses were trans
ported to Cuba, this regiment, togeth
er with the rest of the cavalry, was
obliged to serve on foot. The regi
ment distinguished itself in the San
tiago campaign, and Colonel Roosevelt
became famous for his bravery in lead
ing the charge up San Juan Hill on
July 1st. He was an efficient officer,
and won the love and admiration of his
men. His care for them was shown
by the circulation of the famous round
robin which he wrote protesting
against keeping the army longer in
Cuba.
Ar Governor of Jfebo iiorf(.
Upon Roosevelt’s return to New
York there was a popular demand for
his nomination for governor. Pre
vious to the state convention he was
nominated by the Citizens' Union, but
he declined, replying that he was a
Republican. The Democrats tried to
frustrate his nomination by attempting
, to prove that he had lost his legal resi
1 dence in that state. That plan failed
and he was nominated in the conven
tion by a vote of 753 to 218 for Gover
nor Black. The campaign throughout
the state was spirited. Roosevelt took
the stump and delivered many
speeches. His plurality was 18,079.
As the campaign of 1900 drew near,
the popular demand that Roosevelt's
name should be on the National Re
publican ticket grew too imperative
to be ignored by the leaders. The
honor of the nomination for Vice-Pres
ident was refused time and time again
by Roosevelt, who felt that he had a
great duty to perform as governor of
New York state.
Says Cal O'l-aughlin. apropos of the
Republican National Convention,
which was held in Philadelphia on
June 19, 20 and 21, 1900:
ffomtnation at rntladeipnia.
On the evening of the first day of the
convention, Roosevelt saw Platt. “My
name must not he presented to the con
vention,” he told him. Platt was mad.
and mad clean through; but ho acquiesced
and Roosevelt returned to his apartment
to run into the arms of the Kansas dele
gation. “We do not request you to ac
cept the nomination.” said State Senator
Burton; “we do not urge you to accept
the nomination, but we propose to issue
orders to you, and we expect you to obey
them.” Throughout the delivery of Mr.
Burton’s remarks, Roosevelt stood, with
shoulders square and feet at right angles,
his chin occasionally shooting forward,
as if he were on the point of objecting to
the argument that he alone could rescue
“bleeding Kansas” from demagogism and
populism. But he waited patiently until
the address was ended, and then appealed
to the Kansans to take his words at their
face value, and vote for some one of the
candidates. But his appeal was useless,
for Senator Burton, grasping his hand,
congratulated him “in advance upon his
nomination and election,” and the dele
gation enthusiastically approved the sen
timents. So certain was Kansas that
Roosevelt would be the choice of the con
vention, that it had printed a huge plac
ard. bearing the words in large, blacx
t ype:
“KANSAS DELEGATION
FIRST TO DECLARE FOR
GOVERNOR ROOSEVELT.”
And, when the nomination was declared
to have occurred, triumphantly carried it
about Convention Hall.
After his nomination, R losevelt
said:
I held out as long as I could. I had to
give In when l saw the popular sentiment
of the convention. I believe It is my duty.
Now that, it is all over, I want to say that
I appreciate fully the sentiment which
accompanied my nomination. The unan
imity and enthusiasm of the convention
for my nomination never will be forgot
ten by me.
During the political campaign which
followed, he traveled 16,100 miles,
flashed through 23 states, delivered 459
speeches, containing 860,000 words,
and made his appeal directly to 1,
600,000 persons.
HU Capacity for Wor%.
Mr. Riis says that the thing that be
clouds the judgment of his critics 'is
Roosevelt’s amazing capacity for work.
He says:
He can weigh the pros anrl cons ot‘ a
case and get at the meat of It in less
tint.' than it takes most of us to state
the mere proposition. And lie is surprls
ingly thorough. Nothing escapes him.
His judgment comes sometimes as a
shock to the man of slower ways. He
does not stop at conventionalities. If a
thing is right, it is to he done—and right
away. It was notably so with the round
robin In Cuba, asking the government to
recall the perishing army when it had
won the tight. People shook their heads,
and talked of precedents. Precedents! It
has been Roosevelt's business to make
them most of his time, But is there any
one today who thinks he set that one
wrong? Certainly no one who with me
saw the army come home. It did not
come a day too soon. Roosevelt is no
more Infallible than the rest of us. Over
and over again l have seen him pause
when he had decided upon Ills line of ac
tion, and review it to see where there
was a chance for mistake. Finding none,
he would issue his order with the sober
comment: "There, we have done the best
we could. If there is any mistake we will
make it right. The fear of It shall not de
ter us from doing our duty. The only
man who never makes a mistake is the
man who never does anything."
Enforcing the Laiv
Referring to Roosevelt’s strict en
forcement of the Sunday excise law,
the San Francisco Argonaut’s New
York correspondent, “Flaneur,’’ wrote
under date of September 2, 1895:
The law is not a Republican law. It
was passed bjj Tammany, as a means of
blackmailing saloonkeepers who refused
to yield up tribute. It la a Democratic
law, was introduced at the instigation of
Tammany, was passed by a Democratic
legislature, and was signed by a Demo
cratic governor. David B. Hill. Senator
Hill is now trying to make political cap
ital by abusing Roosevelt for enforcing
the law, but he places himself in a very
questionable position. When a man is
the leader of a party In a state, when his
party passes an excise law, and when he
himself signs it as governor, he certainly
stultifies himself when, to embarrass a
political opponent, he fights against the
enforcement of the very law which he
himself passed. The opponents of enforc
ing the law are having a rather hard
time. Nobody denies that the law exists;
all that they say Is that It is "a hardship
to enforce It." But who is to decide on
the relative severity or mildness of the
laws? Commissioner Roosevelt himself
frankly says that he does not believe in
such a severe Sunday law. but as it Is the
law, Jbe is going to enforce it. And he
is certainly doing so. There is a good
deal of humor in the American people,
and in this great city there are many
thousands who are smiling sardonically
over the plight of Tammany caused hy
enforcing a Tammany law. For Tam
many’s revenues come largely from the
blackmailing of liquor saloons.
President Roosevelt nas been a stu
dent of political economy since boy
hood. He has been an omniverous
reader, and has pursued his studies
with the same zeal and energy that
have characterized all his acts in ciril
and military life.—San Francisco Ar
gonaut.
THE LIVE STOCK MARKET.
Latent Quotations From South Omaha
and Kansas City.
SOUTH OMAHA.
Cattle—There was a good run of efUtle
today so far as numbers are concerned,
but the quality was rather common.
There were a few pretty good westerns,
but the fat steers as a general thing
were common. The same was true of the
corn-feds. The scarcity of good cattle
naturally had a tendency to make buy
! ers Indifferent and the liberal receipts
all the week also gave them an excuse
for buying conservatively. The market
was far from being active, and it was j
late before the bulk of the offerings was
disposed of. There were only just a few
corn-fed steers in the yards and most of
those were on the commonlsli order. Good
stuff would probably have sold about
steady, but the undesirable grades were
slow sale, and In most cases a little
lower. There were close to seventy-five
cars of cows and heifers on sale, and the
market was steady to a little lower.
Bulls, calves and stags sold at about
yesterday's prices, where the quality
was satisfactory, but otherwise they were
very slow and lower. There were not
very many western beef steers included
in the receipts this morning, and while
the good kinds sold about steady, the
common grades were slow and generally
a little lower. Cows sold steady to a
little lower, and good heavy feeders were
steady and active. Common feeders were
not wanted at any price.
Hogs—There was by no means a heavy
run of hogs and sellers for that reason
held their droves at stronger prices. Buy
ers started in bidding just about steady
with yesterday, but they only got a few
loads, as sellers were asking an advance
of 2ft@5c. Packers would not pay it and
so it was rather late before very much
was done. They finally, however, were
forced to raise their bids and the bulk of
the hogs sold at $S.57l» and $6.50, or a
shade stronger than yesterday. Some of
the choicer loads went at $6.62^2 and
from that up to $6.75.
Sheep—The receipts of sheep and lambs
were liberal, making the supply for the
week exceptionally heavy. Packers are
evidently pretty well filled up, as they
did not take hold with much life, and the
morning was well advanced before very
much was done. As a general thing the
better grades of ewes and. wethers sold
at just about yesterday’s prices, but the
lambs they tried to buy a little lower,
particularly if the quality was not very
good. It was a slow market from start
to finish on fat stuff, but feeders were
active and sob! without much trouble at
fully yesterday's prices.

The English Are Growing Tall.
"No nation' is increasing in height
and weight so rapidly as the English,'
says a British journal. The proof of
this is shown in statistics recently col
lected of the height of 10,000 boys and
men. "At the age of 17 these averaged
5 feet g Inches; to the age of 22. 5 feet
9 inches; at 17 they weighed 10 stone
2 pounds; at 22. 10 stone 13 pounds. In
fifty years ’ the average has gone up
for the whole nation from 5 feet 7%
inches to 5 feet 8% inches. The aver
age height of the British upper classes
at 30 years of age is 5 feet 8Vi Inches,
of the farm laborers 5 feet 7 3-5 inches.
The criminal class brings down the
average, as their height is but 5 feet
5 4-5 inches.”

he says, "because it not only exer

In informing you that one application
was sufficient to effect a complete cure.
To a busy man, so simple and effective
a remedy is invaluable, and I shall
lose no opportunity of suggesting the
use of St. Jacob’s Oil. Yours truly,
