say in advance that such is not the

time ago I happened to pick up an old
friend of my youth, a well thumbed
copy c' Shakespeare's works. In look
ing it over I was struck with the forci
billty with which some of the sayings
applied themselves to the salesman and
his work. As we are always striving
for originality and the new idea, and
as I have never heard of anyone using
the words of Shakespeare as stepping
stones, on which to cross the verbal
stream of a discourse on the salesman,
the idea became an obsession with me.
The more 1 thought about it the more
it grew upon me to try it and without
any thought of playing the 'high brow,'

"The salesman Is the dynamic force
that puts the B in business and keeps
the wheels of commerce moving. He
occupies to-day a superior position to
that of the drummer of a few decades
ago. He is a recognized force in the
business world. He is no longer a grin

street corner to street corner. He is
a man among men. To-day he is a
Hercules through whoso persuasive
abilities tli-.' results of the productive
forces of the world are distributed to
the ultimate consumer in all nations
and all climes. You build a factory
equipped with every facility to produce,
but without the salesman the wheels
stand still and its activities die. He is
an accredited factor in all the civiliz
ing influences that improvement
brings. Shakespeare In 'Midsummer
Night s Dream describes him in these
words:
Vi '? p , llt a Sirdle round about the
earth in forty minutes.'
"Again we find the salesman most
aptly portrayed in the 'Merchant of

Even there where merchants most
do congregate.

The first two years in the develop
ment of a salesman s character are the
dangerous ones. The boy is out for
himself now, away from home re
straints and Influences, battling with
homesickness, lonesomeness and dis
couragements, all of which have their
weakening or strengthening Influences
on the will. \\ hether they weaken or
strengthen remains with the vounir
man himself. These two years are the
foundation years of his business struc
ture. If he gets through them with
his heart and mind unsullied and his
ambition unchecked, success will crown
his efforts. He has opened the 'oyster '
He has built bis character 011 the solid
rock of decency and right living rath
er than on the shifting sands of in
fluences that weaken the will and de
stroy manhood's virility.
"The popular conception of the sales
man seems to be that he Is a large
rotund body entirely surrounded bv a
smile. I find this very appropriately
applied in Julius Caesar :
" 'Let me have men about me that
.are fat;
Sleek-headed men, and such as sleep
o'nights.'
Some Are Real Men
"In thin connection in looking- back
over twelve continuous years on the
road I feel we have had a lot to swal
low in the way of implications against
the moral attitude of the salesman in
general I do not believe there Is a
more unjustly maligned body of men
in the world than the salesmen. We
seem to carry all the blame of all the
immorality in the universe on our
shouldera. I ask no favors for the
salesman. They are all human and
full of humanity's frailties. But it
must be admitted that at least some
are real men.
"Initiative coupled with energy wins
the battle. The salesman who is con
tent to sit In the hotel or Mloawber
llke wait for something to turn up, or
perhapn goes from town to town In an
indifferent way, will not get very far.

as to hie health and informing him of
political conditions.
• Will Be Kept Busy
For the ten days before he sails for
Europe Colonel Roosevelt has mapped
out a program which will keep him
busy. His present desire is to get
back in touch as soon as possible with
the affairs of the Progressive party in
all parts of the country and help to
start the machinery for the coming
campaign. Before he left South
America he planned his work, arrang
ing by cable for conferences with
leaders of the Progressive party. The
first of these was set for to-day.
George W. Perkins, of New York,
chairman of the • National Executive
Committee, and O. K. Davis, of Wash
ington, secretary of the committee,
were expected at Sagamore Hill to
give Colonel Roosevelt a report on the
siatuation.
Plans to Come Here
Colonel Roosevelt already has made
appointments with Progressive leaders
of several States. One of the most im
portant of these conferences will deal
with the situation in Pennsylvania
where Colonel Roosevelt expects to
make a hard campaign this Fall.
Within the next few days the Colonel
will see William Draper Lewis, dean
of the University of Pennsylvania Law
School, who was nominated for gov
ernor at yesterday's primaries, and
Gifford Plnehofc, the candidate for
Fnited States senator. E. A. Van
Vaikenburg, publisher of the Phila
delphia North American, and William
Flinn. of Pittsburgh, both of whom
were prominent in Colonel Roosevelt's
1912 campaign, also will attend this
conference.
William Brown, of Ohio, chairman
of the national organization work of
the Progressive party, will come to
Oyster Bay to tell of the outlook in
his State.
Colonel Roosevelt will go to his edi
torial office in New York to-morrow
and will spend most of the day In
meeting political associates. At that
time he will confer with the New York
State leaders.
The address which Colonel Roose
velt is to make before the National
Geographical Society in Washington,
has been set for next Tuesday evening.
It is in this address that the Colonel
will make the lirst formal announce
ment of his discovery of a river in
Brazil.
Criticises Wilson
The Wilson administration's attitude
in the controversy with Colombia over
the Panama canal was criticised to
day by Colonel Roosevelt. He ob
jected strongly to the payment of what
he termed "blackmail" to Colombia.
"In submitting to this.'' he said, "It
is just as though some future presi
dent of the United States should apolo
gize to a successor of Huerta for the
seizure of Vera Cruz. As for the pay
ment of $25,000,000 to Colombia"—
here the Colonel threw up his hands
—"well, that is unthinkable."
Colonel Roosevelt expressed himself
as strongly opposed to the repeal of
the law tor the exemption of Ameri
can coastwise ships from payment of
Panama canal tolls. He said he
thought it perfectly right to arbitrate
the question, if the rights of the coun
try to grant exemption were ques
tioned, but declared that to yield the
point unequivocally without arbitra
tion was indefensible, as he was con
| vinced that the United States was
within its rights in freeing coastwise
ships from payment of tolls.
When he goes to Washington next
week, he said, lie will be ready to re
fute statements of Henry Savage Can
dor, of England, and other who have
expressed doubt as to the correctness
of his statement that he had discov
ered a great liver in the wilds of
South America.
"The river is still there," said the
Colonel with a laugh. "It wasn't like
climbing an unexplored mountain or
going to the North Pole, for such ex
peditions leave no traces which are
there a year later. But nobody is
going to roll up that river and carry
it off. Anybody can go down there
and see it for himself. X will give
him the address of the owner of a
rubber plantation who will furnish
river men for the trip. The lower
third of the river is easily navigable
and anyone who doubts the existence
of that river may go down and see
for himself."
The Colonel went on to explain why
he made the trip to South America.
"I wanted to do something more,"
he said. "I was getting to the age
where I felt that if I was to do any
thing requiring unusual physical ex
ertion, I must do it now. In fact, I
was just a little over the age, but I
put it through."
Colonel Roosevelt said that it was
pretty hard going for a few weeks.
Rations ran short and they got down
to eating monkeys, which, the Colonel
declared, could hardly be considered
a delicacy. However, he said, at about
that time he was hardly well enough
to eat anything.
Colonel Roosevelt reverted to af
fairs in this countrv long enough to
speak of the testimony in Washing
ton yesterday of Charles S. Mellen,
former president of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford Railroad.
He said that when Air. Mellen went to
him to discuss the merging of the New
Haven with the Boston and Maine he
told him that so far as he was con
cerned he would have no objection
provided the merger came within the
law.
The Colonel protested that he felt
as well as ever.
He said that the return to a north
ern climate had caused him to have
I chills, but that they were not serious
[and that he was feeling entirely fit.
Accompanied by the two naturalists
of his party, George K. Cherry and
L«o A. Miller, Roosevelt arrived at
Quarantine from Para, Brazil, shortly
before 4 o'clock on board the Booth
! liner Aidan.
I With a few crisp sentences, punc
, tuated by decisive gestures, he reaf
firmed the verity of the "River of
Doubt," curtly denied having express
:ed himself as to Presidential proba
bilities for 11)16, declared he would not
run for Governor of New York, madd
la few deprecatory remarks about his
critics, and with harbor craft tooting
, and flags fluttering was taken on board
I the tug W. F. Dalzcll, which proceed
ed to Oyster Bay.
I Colonel Roosevelt was noticeably
i thinner and used a cane as he walked
■ about the steamer's deck, but his face
I wore a healthy tan, and he had appar
i entlv not lost an ounce of the vigor
| and energy ever characteristic of him.
After stopping ten days in this coun
trv Mr. Roosevelt will go to Spain tcf
I the wedding of his son Kermit.
As Collector of the Port Malone and
a host of newspaper men scrambled up
the companion way the Colonel stood
at the top and shook each man by. the
hand. Anthony Flala, who went part
way with Mr. Roosevelt in his explor
ations, was the first man to greet the
I Colonel after Mr. Malone.
Not a Word of Politic*
I "Not a word about the political sit
i uation," said Colonel Roosevelt. "I
don't know anything about it, for I
i haven't seen a newspaper. Any pa
; pers which have given my views on
1 the Mexican situation have misquoted
; me.
i "That applies to what has been said
ias to my Presidential Intentions," he
' added.
I He was Informed by newspaper men
that he was reported to have said that
| he would not run as candidate on the
| Republican ticket, and that If he be
came a candidate It would be on the
Progressive ticket.
! "Not a word of truth in tills," said
t tho Colonel. "I have not made a sln
| gle declaration about the political sit
| uation In 1916.

"As to the river, it is extraordinary |
to have put on the map a river as long j
as the Rhine, but there is no more!
doubt of Its existence than there Is of!
the Rhine."
Mr. Roosevelt was asked how he
felt. "I don't look like a sick man,
do I?" was his rejoinder. "I have been I
very ill with jungle fever, but I'm all!
right now, I feel fine."
It was learned, however, from Mr. I
Cherry that the Colonel still suffered I
from slight symptoms of fever. He had
a chill earlier in the day. Mr. Roose
velt confessed that he had lost fifty-'
five pounds, part of which he had re-1
gained.
Mr. Malone asked him if he were
bothered by the criticism made by the i
Knglish explorer, Henry Savage I.,an-!
i dor. Mr. Roosevelt laughed deprecat- I
ingly. Neither that nor other similar
criticisms worried him a great deal, he
said.
The Colonel told friends and news
paper men who crowded around hiin
that he would make only one address
before sailing for Spain.
In the baggage brought bv the
Colonel were a number of alligator
skins and other trophies which no one'
but the Customs House officers saw. j
The only exception which the Colonel i
took to the procedure of these officers
was their handling of a manuscript
which lay on one of the trunks
"Please don't touch tliut," warnra
the Colonel. "I shouldn't want to be
separated from that." He would not
say what It contained.
Tremendously (ilml to He Home
As Mr. Roosevelt talked with the
collector of the port and the newspa
permen. his illness did not show either
in his face or his manner. His domin
ant feeling seemed to be one of tre- '
mendous gladness at getting home, and I
■ It was plain that for a while, at least
livers, political situations and all else'
lay in the shadow for him.
Mr. Cherry and Mr. Miller reiterated I
the Colonel's statement that there was'
not a particle of doubt about the ex- i
Istence of the disputed river. Thev!
said they had come across It 3(10 mile's I

Col. Roosevelt Says He
Has No Plans For 1916
By Associated Press
New York. May 20.—Those who saw
Theodore Roosevelt on his return yes
terday from Brazil realized from hla
appearance that he had passed through
a trying time. The trip from Para,
which began May 7, did much to re
store Colonel Roosevelt. It gave back
to him twenty-five or thirty of the
fifty-five pounds he had lost and the
jungle festers that ran from the ankle
to the knee of his right leg were
nearly all heeled.
It was from April 5 to April 15,
MAY 20, 1914.
was learned, that Colonel Roosevelt
was gravely ill. Other members of his
party, including his son Kermit, were
ill in that time.
For five days Colonel Roosevelt was
delirious, with 105 degrees of fever.
Under it he begged his companions,
it is stated, to go and leave him where
he lay in the jungle. Actual starvation
menaced the party during the last of
the sixty days thta were taken up by
the journey down the Duvida.
At Manaos. the point of the expe
dition's return to civilization, Colonel
Roosevelt was still so ill that he had to
be helped aboard the steamer Dun
stan, on which he traveled to Para.
