THE DEATH OF A TRULY MAGNIFICENT MAN ^ ^ In the lifting of life from ex-President Theodore Roosevelt, the morning of January (J, 1919, one of the world's real BIG men passed from earth. Whether or not one agreed with Mr. Roosevelt's political principles, he was forced to admit the greatness of his compelling character. Powerful and versatile as a writer and speaker in almost every field of human endeavor, his lectures and writings have found a welcome in all classes of society. In national policies he was indeed an impelling guide and forceful leader — loved by his friends, feared by his enemies, respected by all. His taking away has removed from the affairs of men a strong, dominant, courageous power. His sudden death at the seasoned age of three score years is mourned by many millions in all civilized lands. HIS LOSS IS A WORLD LOSS We cannot but recognize in the untimely demise of this most honorable and sturdy American a vital and tremendous handicap in our continued national well-being. His vast governmental experience; his phenomenal memory, and patient, painstaking accuracy; his wonderful understanding of human nature; his grasp and command of knowledge; his manly, practical, outspoken fighting determination, radiated a fundamental inspiration and created constructive influence that democracy sorely needs in these tunmltuous times: for Colonel Roosevelt was a far-sighted statesman. Being wise to the tendencies of the times, he bitterly rebuked injustice, and with invincible boldness, fought legis- lative wrongs; was fair, considerate and always approachable, but emphatically supreme in his demands for right as he saw the right. Tliough physically dead, the illustrious imprint of his ininiitahle personality will continue a most valuable inspirational influence aiul stimulate .America's ambitions toward tlie zenith of greater achievements. ;\Ir. Roosevelt was surely one grand, substantial man. He was made of heroic elements, manliood, deterniinaiion and brains. Throughout his long and eventful career, his paramount ambition seemed to l)e in promoting good, wholesome agitation that made possible the estab- lishment by law of those things which tended toward the greatest public good. He fostered the public rather than the special interests, always. .Mivt! with better aspirations, he carried a real high-spirited message that rallied the young men of the country to attention and beckoned them forward in support of the moral issues and governmental policies being presented. In fact, from the time of his police commissionership in New York at the early age of twenty-live, he acciuittcd himself with such skill and resolution on moral, legislatives and executive issues in l)chalf of the people, that the citizens of Freedom soon recognized his profuse talents of capability and aptitude for administrative powers, and he became the arl)iter of American destiny for better than a quarter of a century. His high pinnacle of popularity and universal renown came only because of his ind('fatigal)l<' energy and continuous application. The grand conceptions that fired his appeals i)efore the people were not the brilliant flashes of unpremeditated genius. No obstacles impeded his ambitions, for incessant mental Jabor was the luxury of his Herculean life. • • • \\IuOt'ver Mr. Roosevelt undertook, he performed magnificentlv. ■ * DON'T LET YOUR FACE DIE WITH YOU— GET MARTINIZED The lambastic principles of liis virile, masculine, flaming determination won lor him the endearment of millions, and to them he became the idol of manhood. To only those who knew him not was Roosevelt hated. To know him was to love him with a keen, respectful admiration. Tempermentallv he possessed the wonderful secret of arousing love and devotion from the masses, such as no other public man in the known history of our Republic, and because of the popular response to his eager capabilities, he gave to America a thrilling public career that has inscribed the name • Theodore Roosevelt" indelibly on the world tablets of fame. HE WAS NO SLAP-STICK PERFORMER Ridiculed l)v a hostile and unappreciative element of anti-Roosevelt poli- ticians who despised the "Teddy-Dictum," his flaming energy and high resolve was accused as a grandstand play for popular favor and election votes; but these muck-raking political knockers were not acquainted with him, for Mr. Roosevelt, throughout the length and breadth of the exampling episodes of that great career never deviated a hair's circumference from the path of personal honor; neither was he ever actuated by motives dictated from any desire to obtain votes. He went straight and fearlessly before the peo- ple, presenting- truthful facts and fig- ures; he spoke with authority and de- termined command, always believing that the public will, when guided by facts, should have precedence over his or any other man's opinions. Posi- tive in his convictions that the people were always right and the individual wrong, even though he be the indi- vidual. Contrary to the belief of many, Mr. Roosevelt was certainly no hypo- crite or demagogue, for he was never known to compromise principle or his personal convictions as a concession for votes. He was no aristocrat, though born of wealth, yet only a plain, every-day American man among his fellows — void of pomp and official ceremony — never posed as a "goody-goody"; neither a weakling nor a coward, for he sure was dangerously resentful of injury. He said that if a man is a man he will associate with men — and Roosevelt sure did practice what he preached. Any man with a real mission could always obtain an audience with him. Mr Roosevelt welcomed differences of opinion -was a good listener. During hi. 'two active administrations in Washington, did we not find hini calling m ~;r^r-^;^:^::^^s;f^^^ 'e'dea'^'sith ZS'res:^rt"social distinction, and not political alignments. He wanted merit of Let, and he sought it where best obtainable. GET MARTINIZED AND KEEP YOUR FACE ALIVE He Loved the Homeland and He Loved Humanity His reputation in some quarters of being reckless, hot-headed and quick on the trigger is entirely wrong. The one outstanding passion of his life was preparedness, and he studiously prepared himself days, weeks and sometimes months in advance awaiting the opportune time for the presentation of his message. He was in reality calm, cautious, and ultra-conservative. There was nothing mean or dirty in his entire disposition, and throughout "his exampling affairs he was aloof from gossip and scandal. The evil mongnietinies, he heatedly presented his views, there were those who, filled with animosity, misunderstood his temperament, not knowing the painstaking, exact- ing carefulness of his preparation, they witnessed his dramatic, arm swinging, lightning explosiveness, assumed the rashness, and credited the violence to uncontrollable hot-headedness. Nothing could have been farther from the truth, in fact, he was violently accurate in everything, for the Colonel realized that because of the limelight his position procur(Hl, it was imi)ossible for him to be reckless and be safe. He knew the ever alert activities of anti-Teddy newspapers and corporate allies with their treacherous desire to distort and discredit, and ho full well appreciated the insistent eagerness of critics to pounce destructfully upon his slightest deviation from fact and truth. Virulent enemies constantly had their trust<'(l hirelings within the range of Roosevelt's voice— and none knew this bett<'r perhaps than did the Colonel himself. His every utterance was dissected, analyzed, twisted and abused by the "malefactors" of great wealth, in fond hope of making i)o]iticaI caiiital for them- selves, but little satisfaction did they ever get. DON'T LET YOUR FACE DIE WITH YOU— GET MARTINIZED Shrewd press reporters continuously tried in vain to catcli him off his guarcf and provoke his saying something he did not expect to say, but Mr. Roosevelt never responded unless he had thought out what he particularly wanted to reply and really wanted such statement published. No matter how exasperating the circumstances, no difference how exciting the state of affairs, he had himself under an iron control and could not be badgered or worried into unintended speech with its subsequent possible regrets. With extraordinary faculty of appraisal in reading character on sight, he sized men up quickly and it seemed like something psychic the rapidity of his intuitions; he seemed to understand instantly whether or not the individual under scrutiny would fit into his "Oyster Bay Atmosphere" and justify friendship. To those who measured fittingly into the standards of Teddy's judgment, those who by their mentality demonstrated "an aristocracy of worth," was found mutual respect, and mutual confidence, and mutual friendliness. Though himself the most democratic of men, yet he was not indiscriminate in his fellowship, for he possessed an atmosphere of dignity that permitted no infringement, as is attested by many interviewers who sought to be too friendly and were frivolous in their questions. Those who thought to make themselves too familiar w^ere quickly made to understand, for the environment was not much to their liking. For instance: I'll never forget, on the occasion of Mr. Roosevelt's return from his speech at the University of Idaho, we were seated alone together chatting about photography, in the Colonel's private compartment of the special car. His secretary, Mr. Harper, announced an individual desirous of a few confidential words with Mr. Roosevelt. Theodore responded that he didn't know Mr. Blank of Pullman, the individual in question, was sure it was unimportant and told the secretary that he did not wish to be disturbed. The Colonel continued our conversation, confining it almost exclusively to questions and remarks relative to the camera and general photography. I soon discov- ered he had a most comprehensive knowledge of its fundamental principles and their adaptation in correct practice was exceedingly accurate. Apparently much interested in the subject he spoke of the approved methods of advanced professional manipulation in lighting, exposure, development, and after treat- ment tricks in local intensification and reduction; he talked knowingly of artifices employed in perfecting resultant prints from faulty and defective negatives, explained why he believed certain types of news photographs were more effective than others, told how he anticipated an ever-widening field of usefulness for photography in commercial, industrial and mercantile pursuits, dwelt on the chemical action of light on silver salts in emulsion, and possessed a most intelligent information of scientific principles that made possible the photographic image. Withal he revealed an exceptionally correct insight into best photographic procedure and he surely was interesting. We had been con- versing this way, for probably twenty minutes, and he was just in the midst of an explanation and demonstration of hmv he would work my Press Graflex under varying circumstances to get the best pictures, when in bursts Mr. Blank of Pullman, whom Secretary Harper had previously announced and whose admission had been denied. The apartment was small, for it was in what ordi- narily was the smoker of a chair car on an electric interurban. In entering, Mr. Blank had somehow, apparently unintentionally, opened the door vigor- ously, and as I was standing near the doorway, braced only against a forward or rear jerk of the train, the door bumped the back of my head a resounding whack, and threw me against the Colonel. Mr. Roosevelt turned quickly and ascertained the cause. Mr. Blank, a good appearing, well dressed, middle aged man, having stepped within, closed the door and extending his hand, said these identical words, for the impression they made will never leave my mind: "Hello, Teddy, old boy, I want to talk privately a word with you, may name is Blank of Pullman." Mr. Roosevelt, camera in hand, said, "Say that again, please." Mr. Blank repeated. Theodore, his eyes spitting fire, said sharply, "Mr. Blank, you are the same Mr. Blank who approached my secretary, Mr. Harper, with reference to an interview?" Mr. Blank replied in the affirmative. GET MARTINIZED AND KEEP YOUR FACE ALIVE .Mr. Roosevelt deliberately then opened the door and with a derisive bluntaess informed Mr. Blank that, "Had I desired conversation with you I would have so intimated to my secretary, as it is I keenly resent this intrusion and re- spectfully ask your immediate withdrawal." Mr. Blank's face flushed crimson, redder than my hair, and he quickly withdrew. Thereupon ]\lr. Roosevelt remarked: "The mentality of some people seems utterly void of understand- ing; they assume intelligence, but lack even the semblance of character and good manners. Think of that impudent fellow blustering in upon us with his uninvited Interruption. I'll have none of that." Then he sat down and as though nothing had happened continued a very friendly conversation until I left him just as we were entering the city of Spokane. Mr. Roosevelt never aid forget that he had been the people's head of this great nation for two successive terms and he always conducted himself in such manner that no reflection could befall the high office he had enjoyed. 'Twas only the crowd that called him "Teddy"; to his intimates and associates it was never less than "THEODORE." Colonel Roosevelt, bless his plucky American knighthood, was the first to sound the clarion call to arms; throughout the nation his ringing voice was raised in defense of justice and the grave insistency of his demands forced the reluctant Wilson administration into action against Kaiserism's vultures. In- deed, had it not been for Mr. Roosevelt's intentional and A-ehement violence in presenting facts and figures commensurate with the situation relating to the conduct of the war, if it had not been for his soul-stirring descriptions of baby killing and virtue's molestations and ruthless destruction by that beastly Nero of the Hun — the administration under Wilson would never have taken the eventful steps to which it was doggedly urged and frightfully coerced by a demonstrative America aroused through "TEDDY." Superabundantly enjoying a lively imagination, he "delighted" in the confi- dence of friends from all walks of life. He had an eager and inquisitive mind for knowledge, and from study and reading, from consultation and from off- hand cordial conversation, he gleaned information and suggestion that replen- ished the reservoir of his colossal mind. The ideas thus gathered, trickled, jioured and melted into thought within his powerful assimilating mind and with astonishing knack of practical judgment he framed these thoughts into slraight-from-the-shoulder phrases that drove their ideas home to the world. His fame is conspicuous for the abandon with which he willingly took up a strong position in the face of tremenodus opposition and stood by it. As Governor of New York State he determinedly advocated that corporations be taxed — it looked like he had gone against an insurmountable stone wall, so wickedly did the intrenched corporations block his efforts, but he stuck like a hero until he put it over. He showed America what a man in office can do and accomplish — who takes no orders from boss or interests. He conducted himself on the sagacious theory that as President of the iiiited States he was not simply the President of the country, still less the President of any party or class, but rather only the President of the entire American people. He made his appeals directly to the people, he overawed Tiud sidestepped the Party Bosses, he defied the Trusts, and he was successful. The proposed policies of his party notwithstanding, his vigorous indepen- dence could not bo made to travel the easy, smooth going boulevard that his illustrious pre-election co-workers had so carefully paved with the planks from the Republican platform. Occasionally Roosevelt would insist on making short- cut excursions direct to the homes of the people, through fields unsurveyed by Presidential precedents, getting thereby into quicker relationship with the people themselves and gaining a more earnest and surer response from the populace whence came his strength. In long sweeps around the Union. l)y his numerous speech making trips. f:om his rostrum, the rear platform of a i)rivate car, he aroused and concen- trated public attention on the big issues of the day. In these open air. hammer- lik<' talks he shot darts of defiance into an unwilling Congress and by the luirshness of his imbittercd tongue his unanswerable attacks made refractory si'uators and opposition congressmen to squiini and fume, for "Terrible Teddy" had carried the fight straight to th<'ir districts and laid liare tho f.trts before their constituents. DON'T LET YOUR FACE DIE WITH YOU— GET MARTINIZED He was a good hater, and did not hesitate to severely apply the lash of cruel publicity upon those he thought deserved it. He was a most loyal, faith- ful friend and frequently expressed from the platform and in the press his indebtedness to those who served with him. As President he assumed the reins of legislative direction, he selected the mea.-^ures which must go through, and then, by word-of-mouth appeals to the Nation, he furnished the horse-power to drive them through. Roosevelt believed in himself, he recognized the stern joy of duty, he felt the significance of his own messages, he fought with passionate intensity. His method was sound, his policy was a good one, for the whole country was astir with responsiveness to his compelling convictions, which could not be resisted. He was always happiest in the big work of many people, and. though he always in the end made his own decisions, he believed firmly in counsel. He was a shreM^d politician and as President he outlined a procedure of foreign policies the object of which was to keep the peace both by curing and preventing trouble. But he would not tolerate what he considered an intrusion of American rights, as was attested by his defiant affront to the German Kaiser in that historical dispute with reference to Venezuela. He applied the Monroe Doctrine with a vengeance that permitted no violations. And yet what the nations pronounced as "Teddy's Brazen Insolence" so filled them with whole- some fear that we Americans attained our ends and he KEPT us out of war. Listen to his own words: "An unmanly desire to avoid a quarrel is often the surest way to precipitate one; and utter unreadiness to fight is still surer. * * * Preparedness deters the foe and maintains right by the show of ready might without the use of violence. Peace, like freedom, is not a gift that tarries long in the hands of cowards." Being a man, of course, J\Ir. Roosevelt was not entirely perfect in wisdom or in act. Like all men he had his weaknesses and prejudices peculiar to most humans, but God bless his imperishable character, he was a brave and upright sou) and he served his countrymen only from a heart fired with highest mo- tives. He felt himself the trustee of Freedom and his chief desire and his main e'ldeavor was to make the world a better place in which free-bom men might live. The charm of his vitality shall always continue and his practical patriotism will endure the years, for his name will be handed do^vn from generation to generation as a priceless heritage. That's why this most desirable embodi- ment of all good citizenship. "THEODORE ROOSEVELT," will forever live in the affectionate memory of mankind. Roosevelt, the man, was what he was because of the great principles he espoused and which had been the molding influences of his life. What made his popularity? Principles. Principles interwoven into his charac- ter, principles greater than men, greater than environment, greater than heredity. And because of the great humanitarian principles which he advocated he became the transmuter of character and the niolder of men. He was a superb and eminent gentle- man — a man of repute and merit, and because of his intellectual manhood and determined aspirations he at- tained a deservedly astounding popu- laritv.
