I S
Theodore 'Roosevelt's Father.
Theodore Roosevelt Is the youngest
[ American citizen who has ever been
called to the head of our nation. He
was born in Now 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 five million dollars of
their pay ; and when the war was over
lie protected the soldiers against the
sharks that lay in wait for them , and
I 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.
&he "President's 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 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
Bummer months. At fourteen Theodore
was admitted to tlo 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 this 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 Ms
mode of living. Theodore Roosevelt
was graduated from Harvard in 1880
with high honors. In spite of severe
but little im
study , his health was
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 London.
Begins Study of
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 during 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
fLlayor. He was chairman of the noted
legislative investigating committee
rwhich 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
Borne 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 for 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
t-
United States Civil Service Commis
sion. His ability and rugged honesty
in the administration of the affairs oi
that office greatly helped to strengthen
his hold on popular regard.
Tolice Commissioner in
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
n the cellars or over the prisons of police
stations la festering heaps , and turning
them out hungry at daybreak to beg their
way from door to door , was indecent and
nhuman. 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 J was one of a committee that waged
it year after y'ear , 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 man's
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 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 AdtJice 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 migh't 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
fte can proceed. "
I was never so proud and pleased as
tvhen they applauded'him to the echo. He
reddened with pleasure , for he saw that
the best in them had come out on top ,
is he expected it would.
Attacked by "yeHotu" JV&tus-
papers.
It was of this incident that a handle
; vas first made by Mr. Roosevelt's ene-
nies in and out of the police board
ind he had many to attack him :
It happened that there was a music-
mll In the building in which the labor
nen met. The yellow newspapers circu-
ated the lie that he went there on pur-
jose to see the show , and the ridiculous
story was repeated until actually the
iars persuaded themselves that It was so.
Chey would not have been able to under
stand the kind of man they had to do
vith , had they tired. Accordingly they
'ell into their own trap. It Is a tradition
if Mulberry Street that the notorious
Jeeley dinner raid was planned by his en-
imies in the department of which he was
he head , in the belief that they would
latch Mr. Roosevelt there. The dinners
vere supposed to be his "set. "
Some time after that , Mr. Riis was
a Roosevelt's office when a police of-
icial of superior rank came in , and re-
Luested a private audience with him :
They stepped aside and the policeman
poke in an undertone , urging' something
trongly. Mr. Roosevelt listened. Sud-
enly I saw him straighten up as a man
ecoils from something unclean , and dls-
nlss the other with a sharp : "No , sir ! I
on't fight that way. " The policeman
rent out crestfallen. Reosevelt took two
r three turns about the floor , struggling
vidently 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 Roosevelt'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
promise given by him was always kept
to the letter.
Assistant Secretary of JVa * > 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 remarkable 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 his 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 famousround -
robin which he wrote protesting
against keeping the army longer in
Cuba.
Cuba.As
As Governor ofVeto yorR.
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
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. Tie
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 Gal O'Laughlin , apropos of the
Republican National Convention ,
which was held in Philadelphia on
June 19 , 20 and 21 , 1900 :
JVomtnation at 'Philadelphia.
On the evening of the first day of the
convention , Roosevelt saw Platt. "My
name must not be presented to the con
vention , " he told him. Platt was mad ,
and mad clean through ; but he 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 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 , blacx
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
oive in when I saw the popular sentiment
of the convention. I believe it is my duty.
Sow that it is all over , I want to say that
I appreciate fully the sentiment which
iccompanied 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.
His Capacity for Worf ( .
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 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 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 have
J 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 Latv
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 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 mdke 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 , he is going to enforce it. And he
ts certainly doing so. There is a good
Seal 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 by t
enforcing a Tammany law. TTor Tam
many's revenues come largely from the 1
blackmailing of liquor saloons. 1t 1t

Chinese Eoyalty to Vacate Sian Pu foi
Pekin After October 6 ,
THE EMPRESS MAY BE DECEIVING
Suspected of Being Too Fearful of Sol
diers to He torn at Once 1A Hang :
Chang la Ordered to Borrow 7OOOOO
Taels to Fay for His Trip.
PEKIN , Oct. 3. Dispatches from
Sian Fu announce that the Chinese
court is preparing to start about Oc
tober 6. The temporary palace there
is being dismantled and all the fur
nishings will be carried for use en
route ; the officials and servants will
constitute'a caravan numbering from
5,000 to 7,000 persons , with carts and
several thousands of horses and mules
that have been collected in the Sian
Fu district.
Two parties of ofiicials have al
ready started to make preparations
along the line. The towns through
which the court will pass are engaged
in decorating temporary palaces and
collecting supplies. The emperor , or
the empress dowager in his name , has
issued an edict strictly commanding
the officials to pay for all supplies.
The native papers report that several
eunuchs have been beheaded for prac
ticing extortion upon the people. An
imperial edict commands Li Hung
Chang , as governor of the province of
Chi Li , to borrow 700,000 taels from
the other provinces to defray the ex
penses of the court's journey. Special
local taxes are being levied , which
the people , already impoverished by
bandits foreign punitive expeditions
and missionary indemnities , are ill
able to afford.
Li Hung Chang said today that the
court will certainly arrive in Pekin
within two months. Despite such offi
cial statements many foreign officials
here believe the empress dowager
fears the foreign troops are kept to
entrap and punish her and their the
ory is that she will pass the winter in
Kai-Yuen-Fu the to
- - , sending emperor
Pekin.
The continual broadside of reform
edicts is the topic of much varied
comment. Those best able to judge
of their sincerity or effectiveness with
hold judgment. Prince Ching , con
versing with foreign officials today , as
serted that the emperor and the em
press dowager were agreed as to the
necessity of changing the Chinese
methods of government and that steps
for the enforcement of edicts would
be taken as soon as the court return
ed to Pekin. Unquestionably the re
form movement stronger among the
upper classes than ever before. Prince
Su , who was recently appointed col
lector of taxes on goods entering Pe
kin an office heretofore considered
worth 100,000 taels per year has an
nounced that he purposes to deposit
all the collections in the treasury and
to request the emperor to pay him a
fair salary. His subordinates resent
this plan and Prince Su has been
threatened with assassination.
INCOMPLETE RAILWAY LAWS.
Report of Industrial Commission Points
Ont Differences.
WASHINGTON , Oct. 3. Railway
legislation in this country is incom
plete , especially as to stock issue , joint

Dut extraordinary differences among
the laws of some of the states. It
indicates , too , that our laws do not
recognize differences of importance of
