helped to strengthen his hold on popular regard Police Commissioner in JVeiv 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 had 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 had attacked the foul disgrace but to no purpose Pestilence ravaged the prison lodgings but still they stayed I know what that fight 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 I remember the caricatures of tramps shivering in the cold with which the yellow newspapers pursued him at the time labeling him the poor mans foe And I remember being Just a little uneasy lest they wound him and perhaps make him think he 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 didnt 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 dice 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 I 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 playing 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 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 yellota JVetvs papers It was of this incident that a handle was first made by Mr Roosevelts 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 He 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 Jt is a tradition of Mulberry Street that the notorious Secley 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 bo his set Some time after that Mr Riis was in Roosevelts 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 I saw him straighten up as a man recoils from something unclean and dis miss the other with a sharp No sir I dont fight that way The policeman went out crestfallen Roosevelt took two or three turns about the floor struggling evidently with strong disgust He told me- 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 His proposition was to raid it then and so get square To the policeman it must have seemed like throwing a good chance away But it was not Roosevelts way he struck no blow below the belt In the governors 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 promise given by him was always kept to the letter Assistant Secretary of JVatfy Early in 1897 he was called by Presi dent McKinley to give up his New York office to become Assistant-Secretary of the Navy His energy and quick mastery of detail had much to do with the speedy equipment of the navv 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 acrrna tVia ln l QTTI n rlrn hi fi 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 Roosevelts insistence on practice in the navy Shortly after his appointment he asked for an appropriation of SOO000 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 500000 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 tar 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 tit 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 As Governor of ffeiv Zorfc Upon Roosevelts 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 dence in that state That plan failed Theodore Roose Oelts Father Theodore Roosevelt is the youngest American citizen who haa ever been called to the head of our nation He was born in New York City October 27 1858 his 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 first Battle 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 Ave 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 and 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 boys and 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 GVe Presidents Early 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 he 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 with pleasure The elder Roosevelt believed that children best thrive in the coun try He selected a beautiful spot near the Tillage 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 ti 2 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 under the careful tuition of Mr 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 his health vastly improved It thus happened that when young Roosevelt entered on college life at Harvard in 1875 he suffered little by comparison with boys 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 he 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 and simple in his mode of living Theodore Roosevelt was graduated from Harvard in 1880 with high honors In spite of severe little impaired study his health was but paired and he at once started on a of instruction foreign journey in search He distinguished tion pleasure and adventure 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 London Begins Study of Latv On hs 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 Hesss district- By re election he continued m - the bodv duringsthe 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 layor 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 Lis front door he could shoot deer and the mountains around him were full of big game Amid such surroundings he wrote some of iis 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 tor Mayor against Abram S Hewitt United Democracy and Henry George United iLabor Mr Hewitt was elected by about twenty two thousand plurality In 1889 Roosevelt was appointed by President Harrison a member of the 1 mWt i hfffil Ml WM i 1 i M kim Willi 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 18079 As the campaign of 1900 drew near the popular demand that Roosevelts 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-President 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 OLaughlin apropos of the Republican National Convention which was held in Philadelphia on June 19 20 and 21 1900 JSfommation at Philadelphia On the evening of the first day of the convention Roosevelt saw Piatt My name must not be presented to the con vention he told him Piatt wns 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 Burtons remarks Roosevelt stood with shoulders square and feet at right angles his chin occasionally shooting forward the point of objecting to as if he were on the argument that he alone could rescue bleeding Kansas from deinagogism 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 blacf type 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 Roosevelt said I held out as long as I could I had to give in when I 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 16100 miles flashed through 23 states delivered 459 speeches containing 860000 words and made his appeal directly to 1 600000 persons His Capacity for Worf Mr Riis says that the thing that be clouds the judgment of his critics is Roosevelts amazing capacity for work He says He can weigh the pros and cons of a case and get at the meat of it in less time than it takes most of us to state the mere proposition And he is surpris 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 be 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 fight People shook their heads and talked of precedents Precedents It has been Roosevelts 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 I have seen him pause when he had decided upon his 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 Lata Referring to Roosevelts strict en forcement of the Sunday excise law the San Francisco Argonauts New York correspondent Flaneur wrote under date of September 2 1895 The law is not a Republican law It was passed by Tammany as a means of blackmailing saloonkeepers who refused to yield up tribute It is 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 ital by abusing Roosevelt for enforcing the law but he places himself in a very questlonable 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 he Is going to enforce It And he is certainly doing so There is a good deal of humor in the American people and in thl3 great city there are many thousands who are smiling sardonically over the plight of Tammany caused by enforcing a Tammany law For Tarn manys 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 civil and military life San Francisco Ar gonaut KAMMmHHHMMMiilOM THE LIVE STOCK MARKET Latest Quotations From South OumKi

steady to a little lower and good heavy feeders were steady and active Common feeders were not wanted at any price Hogs There wns by no means a heavy run of hogs and sellers for that reason hold their
