Dear Cabot:
You have probably sren in the
“Sun’’ Root's statement of the resi
dence question.*
1 was to blame, for having left the
whole matter, as I have left all my
business affairs, to Douglas, Uncle
.llm and John. But, most fortunately,
they had preserved my letter, in
which T not only explicitly stated that
my residence was to be kept, hut also
explicitly directed that my taxes were
to he paid, either at Oyster Bay or In
Xew Fork. Uncle Jim’s death was the
only reason they were not paid at
Oyster Bay.
Of course, it was a peculiarly ugly
business, for I hated to have any com
bination of Incidents make me look
for a moment as if I were doing some
thing shifty.
Of course, the democrats will ring
the changes on the original charge
from now until election, and while X
want to win, still I am more anxious
that no colorahly just accusation can
be brought against me. I think that
my published letters remove all fear
of tills.
As for the election, I can form ni*
idea of how It will go. There is a
great enthusiasm fur me. but it may
prove to be mere froth, and the drift
of events is against the party In Xew
Vork this year, while the Germans are
very likely to oppose me.

works a little rustily In the new direc

The gold democrats have returned

If only their party will dodge the
Issue of honest money. The Germans
are Inclined to be against me and the
Independents care very much less for
honest government than they care to
register themselves against my views
of expansion and of an efficient army

In addition to this, Algerlsm is a
heavy load to carry, and Lou Payn
and Aldridge and the canal business
. . . make up another burden with
which it Is difficult to deal. In fact,
taking it as a Whole. New York cares
very little lor the war. nmv that it is
over, except that it would like to pun
ish somebody because the republloan
administration did not handle the War
department well. It Is not Interested
in free silver, for It never looks more
than Fix months ahead or behind and
it thinks free silver dead; and the
things against which It cries are
things for which the republican party
has been responsible. The result is
that I am not having an entirely
pleasant campaign.
I may win yet. and I am going In
to do everything that can be done. As
I said. Senator Platt and Congress
man Odell are doing everything, and
I am more than satisfied with the way
the slate canvass Is being run, but
there Is great apathy among the re

Dear Theodore:
Sometimes an outsider at a dis
tance sees the general trend of a
campaign more
clearly than those
in it, Just as a
traveler will re
mark leading
characteristics in
a new country
which would slip
out of sight if he
stayed there a
year. The situa
tion (in N e w
York) seems to
to have greatly
changed. Croker's
assault on the
Judges has had
an immense ef
fect. It hast frightened the conserva
tive class. Your tour through the
state is having an Immense success.,
It is rousing things up. This letter
will reach you only after you return,
and so the suggestions 1 make will
perhaps not be of much value, but
still yoy will have a few more
speeches to make and then I want
you to consider them.
Argue more than you do. The
people of Xew York know perfectly
well that you will carry out your
promises, and that you do not say
one thing on the stump and do an
other at Albany, so that there seems
no need of saying that too often,
whereas you have got lots of
subjects on which you can make most
effective arguments and with great
variety.
I would press home, too, the neces
sity of standing by the president
against Spain. You made one admir
able statement under this last head
at some point on your journey, and
I noticed that it was received with
tremendous applause.
The president's trip out west snd
his speeches have done good. I think
t see an improvement in the repub
lican campaign all along the line,
and if things continue to move »v
they are now moving the party will
go to the polls and carry the house
all right.
Always sincerely yours,
H. C. t,.

Dear Theodore:
I telephoned to the White Hours
about the medal as soon as I got
down to the "Pun” office and gave
the message to Mr. Montgomery, one
of the clerks whom I know, anil put
It In the strongest possible terms.
After I had gone. Uaffan* received
word from the White House as fol
lows: “President says he is appoint
ing hoard to award those medals and
will he glad to comply with your
wishes by seeing to it that there
Is no delay In T. R.'s case.”
I do not feel myself that this Is
very satisfactory, because I do not
believe a board can he appointed In
time to do it, Jaiffan expected to go
to Washington today, and if he does
he will urge the thing personally, r
am going to write te the president
now nnd reiterate what T said over
the telephone. I trust It may not
t.e all In vain.

To the President:
T took the liberty of telephoning
yesterday from New Yni*k 1n regard
to giving to Colonel Roosevelt nt this
time the medal for distinguished gal
lanlry for which he was recommend
oil by General "Wheeler. T assume
that there Is no doubt that that, med
al will be conferred upon him sooner
or later,
.lust now It would have a very Im
portant meaning and value and
would put nt rest many etorles which
are being circulated by the demo
crats. In view of the Immense Im
portance of the New York election
I felt Justified In bringing the matter
to your attention, and desire to ex
press my most earnest hope that
tills medal may he awarded to Col
onel Roosevelt In the course of the
next few days. I would not be so

Mired of the Importance of the action
at this time.
I have the honor to he, wdth the

Dear Cabot:
The attitude of the secretary of
course simply mesne that the War
department does not Intend that I
• hull have the medal of honor.* if
l didn learn It, Ibsii nu commit slontd
officer ever can earn it. I was not
acting in accordance with orders. I
had been told to support the attack
of the regulars with my regiment. 1
moved through the Ninth regiment,
of my own accord, and gave the
order to charge, and led in person
that portion of the line on horseback,
being the first man on the hill, and
killing a Spaniard with my own
hand.
X led in person the next charge on
the second line of blockhouses; I
led in person tlie thlfd charge; and
then at the extreme front command
ed the fragments of the six cavalry
regiments and brigade until the next
morning. I don't ask tills as a favor
—I ask it as a right. 'Wood, Wheeler
and Shatter joined in making the re
quest for me; Miles lias told me It
certainly should lie granted ns a mat
ter of course; and General Sunnier,
and Captains McBlaln and McAnee,
of the Ninth, and Captain Ayres of
the Tenth, could all be summoned
as eye-witnesses—not to speak of my
own men.
I have stood, without making a
counter attack, the secretary's pub
lication of my private letter, and tlie
president's failure to interfere with
i*. I do not feel much like standing
the refusal to give me the only re
ward they possibly ran give me. Ke
niember that though I had command
ed a brigade, nnd though I had been
singled out in reports for special
commendation, I was given no brevet
rank. For this I don't care, but I
am entitled to the medal of honor,
and I want it. *

'l'he Little Stocks Rejoice.
Common Sense Signs.
No More Song? Nonsense.
The Eugenists Mean Well.
By ARTHUR BRISBANE.
\_—
Practically, all of the little stocks
raised their heads and sang for joy
at the closing hour of the stock ex
change yesterday, as violets and
pansies lift up their hands after a
shower.
What it was that made the stocks
feel so cheerful you may decide for
yourself. It was complete foolish
ness that made so many get rid of
good railroad stocks at. low prices,
merely because the St. Paul road
went into the hands of a receiver.
In high finance things are man
aged by high financiers. And next
to making a railroad pay big divi
dends the most, profitable thing you
can do is to turn it into a receiver
ship. A railroad in a receivership
is like a chicken cooking on the
stove. It’s good news for some
body. ~—*
A statement by Austen Chamber
lain, the British foreign secretary,
regarding the security of France
and other European nations indi
cates that common sense and san
ity are gradually reasserting them
selves in Europe.
That Europe’s nations cannot go
on forever competing against each
other in armament, or coalitions
built up one against another, is be
coming clear.
The British are the most practi
cal, the French the most logical, of
European nations. The Germans,
Italians, Poles, Greeks and Rus
sians realize, because they can’t
help realizing it, that war does not
pay. It ruins the vanquished and
bankrupts the victors.
The choice of Europe now is
some common arrangement that
would give a chance for peaceful
development to all of the nations,
Germany and Austria included, or
continuation of the struggle for
supremacy in armament and popu
lation, that must end inevitably in
such disaster as the world has never
seen.
The sensible speech by the Brit
ish foreign secretary, and its wel
come in France by all except a
very bitter minority, are hopeful
signs.
Prof. Thorold, scientific German
musician, predicts operas with or
chestra only, no human singing, no
human voices. Opera is growing
too big for the human voice, and it
can no longer do justice to the
creations of musical genius. So
says the professor, and it may he
so. But if the professor imagines
that any orchestra can replace the
human voice in Wagner's “Spring
Song,” or “Evening Star” song, he
is mistaken.
A plain little girl with a simple
little voice, singing “Ye Banks and
Braes of Bonny Boon” can’t do all
that a hanging, whanging, fiddling,
orchestra can do.
But that simple voice can do
things that the orchestra can’t do.

My Dear Theodore;
A'ou are unjust, I think, to the
president, for when I saw him the
day after I got here and ha spoke of
you in the highest terms, as I wrote
you; he referred to the matter of the
medal and said that the board would
award It to you as a matter of course.
I do not think you need have any
apprehension about It at all. All that
Alger said was his own stupidity, but
I will Watch the matter carefully and
If there should be the slightest hitch,
which I do not regard In any way
possible, I witl bring the matter up
in congress.
We are going to have trouble over
the treaty. How serious I do not
know, but T confess I cannot think
calmly of the rejection of that treaty
by a. little more than one third of the
senate. It would he a repudiation of
the president and humiliation to the
whole country In the eyes of the
world, and would show we are unfit as
a nation to enter into great questions
of foreign policy. I cannot believe
that the opposition, which is of course
composed of southern democrats, can
succeed.

In New York City, assorted high

j Contest Editor, Omaha, Nebraska. Feb. 5, 1925
Alamito Dairy, Omaha, Netfraska.
Dear Sir:— '
I I owe very much to Alamito Milk. I am the mother of four strong,
healthy children, the oldest not yet five and the youngest nine weeks; two
boys and two girls. I want to tell you, we are an ‘Alamito Family.’
• Now by ‘healthy’ I mean they have never been under a doctor’s care,
except my oldest girl, and her case was just a slight cold.
Now what I want to write about is my little boy. He was three years
old last November. He was a strong baby, weighed 10 pounds at birth
and got along just fine until he started to walk, then his little limbs looked
weak and then I noticed a curve in them until the first thing I knew I had a
bow-legged baby. «
I tell you I was just heartsick to think that he was always such a fine
baby, and I was so afraid that I would have to take him to a "doctor; and
how it hurt me to think that maybe he would have to wear those stiff
looking braces. But no—he didn’t have to, because just when I was about
to take him to the doctor, my mother-in-law said, "don’t take him to a doc- •
tor. just give him plenty of Alamito Milk to drink and plenty of vegetables
and see the results.”
* So T started in with two and three and sometimes four quarts of Ala- 1
mito Milk a day and gave him all he wanted to drink and I creamed vege
tables for him with Alamito Milk. To my surprise I began to notice a big
change in my bow-legged boy, and today you would never say that he was
ever bow-legged. His limbs are straight and strong, thanks to Alamito Pas
teurized Milk.
Alamito Milk is the best grade milk, pure and put up in clean bottles.
Tt is absolutely safe for anyone to drink and use for all purposes. And in
all my years that I have bought Alamito Milk. I have neve'r met an Alamito
salesman who was not a gentleman. Is it any wonder I prefer Alamito Milk
above all others? ~. ,
Sincerely yours,
2634 Davenport Street.

Mrs. Mahoney brings out one of the most important questions before the medical pro
fession today, “bowleggedness," which is rickets. This testimony is conclusive evidence
that Alamito Milk is one of the best foods for the ‘prevention and cure of this disease,
ami also a "sate" product to insure the healthy development of children and grownups
as well. I'sc Alamito Milk in order that you. too. may learn of the wonderful health
giving qualities it contains.
