4 COL, ROOSEVELT GREAT AMERICAN , "Pathway Lined With Monu ments to Public Service," Says Depew New "Hl pathway t llnexl with montimenta to his public ser vice," said Chauncej* M. Depew of 1 Theodore Roosevelt at the Methodiet Preachers SleetlnK. 160 Fifth avenue. •The greatest American Is gone. The great achievements of Col. Roosevelt, his uneonquerablo deter mination and opposition to every thing that was crooked and danger ous in business and politics, his re fusal to be tied by party Influence, his unswerving Integrity, the person al charm and inagnamlty of his char acter were sketched by Mr. Depew. And there was hardly an event in the Colonel's life or a phase of his nature which the former Senator did not illustrate with a story. "For the whole active life of the late Theodore. Roosevelt." he said, •i was intimate with him and 1 knew his father before him. And through that acquaintance I always felt for the young man an Intense admira tion. He had more enthusiasm, more vitality, more human magnetism than any man T ever knew. In the elghtv-four and more years that 1 have "'lived I have never known a more vital personality, and his path way is lined with monuments to his public service. Theodore Roosevelt had the culture of Harvard, com mingled with the experience of the great plains." . . He first met Mr. Roosevelt when he started on his political career as the lust hope candidate of a Tammany controlled district. It was half silk stockings and half East hide, and the Republican leader went to Mr. Depew with liis troubles and told him that lie thought only young Roosevelt could win. He suggested tliat the youth just out of college, be nominated at a dinner at Delmonl co's. at which Depew should preßide. "He was 22 and he looked 16.' said Mr. Depew, "but for one hour he told the big business men gathered there of the evils of government, startled and shocked them, and after that, for his whole life lived the principles he uttered that night." , , / . lie told how. after his Assembly career was made Civil Service Com missioner and then Police Commis sioner. because he was thought to be Ihe one man unafraid to tilt against the evils of the police system. "fr'rlends of the party tried to shelve him." Mr. Depew went on, so tliev made him Assistant Secretary df War. and in six mor.ttV> he most conspicuous man in the United States; I recall one time when John D. lyuig. Secretary of the Navy, was staffing on a vacation he turned to some of us and said; 'I believe Iyl better go back and watch that young Assistant Secretary of the Navy. "He got from Congress an appro priation of more than 11.000.000. and and when he was asked what he bad ■lone with that he said he had spent it in target practice. Congress uas shocked, but the target practice made it possible for Dewey to win the bat tle of Manilla Bay and for Schley to come out victorious at Santiago. "One peculiarity about Roosevelt was that he never asked anybody to go anywhere or do anything that lie wasn't willing to be in the rank. That was true When he was | Police Commissioner: it was true in j the war. And so when the Spanish war came he raised the Rough Rid ers and led them." . Mr Depew then came to ten now it 'was that Roosevelt was the only man who could be selected as Gub ernatorial candidate after the Spanish war. and the part Mr. Depew had Tn bringing about his nomination. "In politics, he said. It is crises that mhkes the man. That is not true of business, it is not true of the pro fession. for if a man has in him the qualities that make for success he will Ultimately succeed either In bus iness or the professions. There was a crisis then in the Republican party in this state. Gov. Black had asked the investigation to find out what had become of $1,000,000 appropri ated for the canal. "Thomas C. Piatt sent for me to come in consultation and said that the canal trouble threatened the en tire ticket. Odell had advised him to nominate Roosevelt, but he said, "'he lias always kicked over the tra .ce' - vou can't control him. and he will be a peril to our organization. •Well." I said, 'you can't elect anyone e hecklers will want to know what has become of that million." T told him 'and if you do not nominate Roosevelt all I will be able to say is 'that it only a million. But if you nominate Roosevelt. I will be able to sav 'We've nominated the greatest .thief catcher the world ever knew. He'll find out what became of that million; he may get it back; hell put the men responsible for it in lail. and he'll do it all to the Star Spangled '"'Well.' said Piatt, 'we'll nominate "When it came to the second nomi nation there was such a feeling against him. going way down to the district leaders in the organization, that we knew he eouldn t he re-elect- ) ed and if we nominated anyone else i his successor couldn't be elected. Sn we decided to boost him up and make him Vice President. "Roosevelt woudn t hear to it. He I said 'I don't want to be in a tomb, i ond the Vice Presidency is a tomb. Tliev put you there and _ you stay | there until vou are dead. In the convention his name was put in nom ination and he declined. He made n. rousing speech and said if he was | nominated he would decline on the , door of -the convention. But the next morning he accepted and that was the beginning of the greatest life in American history, the greatest life of tinv man who had the talent to | control his fellow men. | "After MeKinlev was assassinated he carried out loyally, for that was , his nature, the policies of MeKinlev. Tint when he was elected he became 1 President and began to shape his own | Po "Tt'was a time of unexampled pros- I neritv Vou may remember the for mation of the trusts, great combina- j lions of business and they were talk-. imr of grouping all the railroads of ,he countrv in a single combination. Roosevelt, nlone of tlm people of this eountrv. took alarm at the tendency of the dav and instantly he aroused such a venomous clamor against him as was never before raised against a public man. The speculators were ngalnt him. the millionaires were against him. most of the press was against him. But lie Xo knew ills power and so used It that lie was able to curb the dangerous tendency °'/'remember how he dominated one t\f th< biKffest tyipti of the time. Tie called him in and said to bom.' 'Sir. deal with me now or you deal later with the mob." . , , . "When Roosevelt was suggested for a third term he had all he could do to prevent it. He had declared against a third term, and he had the card up his sleeve that he bad been elected but once. But when he did refuse he had all he could do to bring about the nomination and election of his chosen successor. Mr. Taft. Then was shown the magnamlmous chival ry of the man. He knew that his one term would overshadow Taft's so 4ie went away to Africa, where he was practically .lost to the world for two years." Aft". Depew then-referred to Roose velt's bolting the Republican party St Chicago because of the injustice he felt had been done him there, and pointed to its results as perhaps the greatest manifestation of the man's power. < "Our greatest American is gone, the greatest force for Americanism this country'ever had Is gone." Mr. Depew concluded. "More than Jef ferson. great American on the liter ary side; more than Jackson, great American on the military side, he combined them both. Ills last ser mon was oa Americanism, his last speech, which he sent to be read the night before his death was. 'We want no divided •allegiance in this coun try.'" . .j.... _ TUESDAY EVENING, Congressman Focht Lends Support to River Scheme; Suggests New Railroad Hearty eupport of the project of making the Buaquehanna River nav ■aS-Stf "rials' ££££?&; I Lol 0 , Men . s Work I Lot c ~n cy K.mono,,' sizes up to 14, SI.OO value Uresses ' value U P to * 4oo ' ** , IT 11 „ 2!
