Not- Since Abraham Lincoln
Fell Asleep
has there been in this country such a
sorrow as on Monday when the messages
came from
Theodore Roosevelt's
silent home. Like a flash of lightning, it
touched the whole world.
The immeasurableness of the loss to
America and the world at this time is
beyond human thought.
These are days of revelation. A man
may be bigger than his words.
It were well worth while to seek for
the real secret of Theodore Roosevelt's
masterful greatness.
Was it in the fact that no insincerity
lurked behind his ever-welcoming smile?
