SKETCH' OF ROOSEVELT.
( Continued from Page 1.)
, ential negotiations which, conducted at
Portsmouth, N. H., effocted peace be
tween Russia and Japan ; maintenance
of the Monroe doctrine at a period when
European powers were interested in the
affairs of Venezuela; the recognition of
Panama as a republic and his treaty with
Pnnapia by which the inter-oceanic canal
through that country was put tinder way ;
and the settlement, through his moral
influence in the face oPa situation in
which there was no adequate federal
legislation, of the Pennsylvania coal mine
'strike. For his part in terminating the
Russo-Japanese conflict he was awarded
the Nobel peace prize in 190C. Four
year* later, onee more a prirtc citizen
he was special ambassador from the
j United States at the funeral of King
I Edward VII of England.
A rift in the friendship between Roose
velt nnd his successor as President, Wil
j liam Howard Taft, led to the former's
I announcement of his opposition to Mr.
Taft's renomination. The ex-president's
influence had been large in placing Mr.
Taft in the White House. Now his in-1
flucnce was equally strong in preventing
Mr. Taft from remaining there. Men
who had clashed with the Taft policies
! quickly rallied to Roosevelt's support.
| Roosevelt assembled what he termed as
v constructive Ideas as opposed to the con
servative ones of the so-called republi
I can "Old Guard," characterized them
with the description "progressive" and
organized the progressive party by with
1 drawing with his followers from the Chi
cago convention of 1912. He became the
new party candidate for President. This
, split in the republican's ranks resulted
( in Wood row WilsonS election.
One of the most dramatic incidents
in Roosevelt's life occurred during this
j campaign. As he was leaving a hotel,
in Milwaukee, to go to a meeting hall
1 to make a political address, a man stand
ing among the spectators In the street
fired a shot which struck the colonel
and smashed a rib. Roosevelt insisted
?' he was not seriously hurt and his auto
mobile conveyed him to the hall. There
he spoke to an audience which had knew
| le<lge of what had happened ? sobbing
women and grave-faced men shaken with
emotion by his appearance under such
circumstances. Examination of the wound
showed It was serious and the candl-j
date was hurried by irpcHal train to
Chicago fof treatment. Though he speed
ily recovered the bullet wis never re-.j
moved. The assassin was sent to an
asylum for the Insane.

s
I Ioiihc devoted his life largely to literary
work. 'hunting and exploration. ? He be
came contributing editor to The Out
look in 1000, continuing tbih for five
years, and later held editorial positions
with Th'e Metropolitan and The Kansas
City Star. From 1882 to 1017 he pub
lished aby>ut <r)0 volumes of works cov
ering the wide rauge or naval historj,
hunting, biography, the Rough liters,
Americanism. nationalism, conservation
of womanhood and childhood animals,
exploration, the world war arid America s
participation in it, and W autobiog
raphy. His hunts for big game hnd ,his
/.est for exploration took him into the.
American west, the heart of Africa and
the wilderness of Brazil.
Upon his return from his African
journey ? a return durihg which he made
triumphant entries into European capi
tals and was received by nation's rulers, ?
including the emperor of Germany ? he
arrived in New York to experience what
was generally conceded to be the great
est ovation an American private citizen
was over accorded by the people of his
country. This was in 1010. At the head
of an exploring party in South America
in 1014 he discovered and followed for
090 a Madeira river tributary which
the Brazilian government subsequently
nninc 'l. in his honor, Reo Theodore. This
was the famous "River of Doubt," so
called because in many quarters consid
ered authoritative it was questioned
whether Roosevelt was the first man to
explore the stream. During this jour
ney the President contracted a jungle
fever which was held indirectly respon
sible for the abscesses which developed
malignantly and required several opera
tions at the Roosevelt hospital in New
York city in 1018. > b
r ' Theodore Roosevelt, besides being a
prolific writer, lectured and made pub
lic speeches extensively, not only in his
own country but <in Kngland, Spain,
South America and other parts
woiid. The facility with which he made
iwlitical enemies and followers made him
a marked man for both the bitter and
friendly attention of cartoonists and
paragrapliers. Quaint and picturesque
phrases were coined liberally by him
and by others concerning him. "Speak
Koftly and use the. big stick", "weasel
words," "pussyfoot", "mollycoddle," and
"my hat is in the ring", were some of'
the Roosevelt expressions which attained
wide publicity.
The strenuous physical activities in
which Roose/elt engaged at the White
House included boxing. It was not until
eight years after he left the White House
that it wax disclosed that during one
of these bout*. which he welcomed as
a means of keeping him in fighting trim,
a blow landed by a' sparring opponent
injured one of the colonel's eyes. Later
blindness of this eye developed.
In the Inter ypnrA of ? his ? life ? two
court suits, in which he figured In one
as plaintiff and in the pther as defend
ant, winning them both,\ kept Roosevelt
before the public eye. During the presi
dential campaign of 1012V a Michigan
editor charged him with ^Intoxication*
R>>osevelt instituted a suit for libel and
marshalled a notable host of witnesses
to testify regarding his private life and
habits. Their testimony was so over
whelming that the charge was withdrawn
in open court and the jury brought
in a nomiual verdict of six cents In
favor of the ex-President. William
Barnes, Jr.. of Albany, N. Y., accused
Roosevelt in 1014 of uttering libel \(o
a statement asserting that the "rotten
ness" of the New York atate governff
ment was due directly to the dominance
of Tammany hall in politics, aided by*
Mr. Barnes and his followers. At Sly
racus*, N. Y., In 1015 the jury's* ver
dict acquitted Rooaerelt. 4
When the P-uropean war began Roosc
volt vigorously advocated a policy of
national preparedness, urging universal
military training for the nation's youth.
Iu speeches throughout the country and
in his magazine and newspaper writings
he Criticised, in this respect, the policies
of Woodrow Wilson during Mr. Wilson's
first term as President.
Mr. Roosevelt, it has been said, was
keenly disappointed when he did not
receive the republican nomination for
president in 1910. At the same time
however, he refused to follow the ad
vice of some of his staunchcst followers
that he again head the progressive party
ticket. Instead he prevailed upon th*
progressive party to make Charles Evans
Ilughep, the republican caindidfrte, - Its
own choice. IIo campaigned for llfn
Hughes. With the re-election of
Wilson, and America's entry Jnfo the
world war soon after, Rootufvelt imme
diately supported the President, and bit*'
terly assailed the pro-Oermans, pacifists
and other type of men who attenvtfcfcd lta
delay speeding up the war. ,v*a > rM
With the United States n belligerent,
Roosevelt endeavored to obtain; tW cbn*
sent of the war department to establish
an army division which he was anxious
to take to France. Thin division was
to have included many of the Rongh
Hders who were his assodatep jn the
campaign in Cuba, and younger men
of the same % strenuous habits.; The
necessary permission for the formation
of such a force was not forthcoming even
though Roosevelt expressed willingness
to accompany it as a subordinate officer.
Onp of Roosevelt's participations In
public affairs tookr-KTm~to Washington
iu January, 1018, when he, conferred'
with United States Senator George B.
Chamberlain of Oregon and other mem
bers of Congress who were critical of
the administration's methods of prosecut
ing the war. Roosevelt on this occasion
announced his support of the proposal
that a war cabinet- be organised to take
over the conduct of the war.

his flag, Theodora Roolevelt/n it
