ROOSEVELT AS SMALL BOY j
He Was Always the Leader"Among
His Playmates in Every
- Sport. '
■When Theodore Roosevelt was
boy his father was sent to the
Vienna exposition as American
commissioner. He took the whole
family to Europe and for a time
during the stay of the Roosevelts
on the continent they lived in
Dresden.
A German woman who acted as
teacher of the children at this
time tells of his love for outdoor
sports and feats of personal cour
age. So great was this trait, even
in his boyhood, that he learned to
read the Nibelungen Lied in Ger
man within a few weeks, and
could recite and explain the pas
sage much better than German
boys of his own age.
A favorite game of his at this
lime was to play at battles with
tin soldiers. His brother, a cousin
and he used to move all the furni
ture of a room in to one corner, draw
great plans of battlefields on the
door, and then tight some famous
battle according to the way in
which it was planned and fought
bv the generals who had com
manded the armies of which they
had read.
‘•Theodore always was the lead
er and the commanding spirit,”
says she. “He was always far
ahead of “the rest in making new
plans to overcome unexpected
problems, and he always managed
to exact obedience from the oth
ers. And everything that he did
was done with a definite purpose,
even in those games.”
IT DEPENDED.
At a bond in the river oppo
site a likely pool a portly gen
tleman in the now Ashing suit
stopped a native in order to get
some necessary information
about the surrounding country.
“l>o you suppose.” asked the
man with rod arid reel, "it would
lie worth my while to try fishing
round here?”
“Weil,” said the native,
thrusting his hands into his
pockets, ‘Mlu* iishin' ain't good,
but in course I don’t know how
ye value ver time.”

What He Missed.
A Sioux Indian in South Dakota
invited Senator Ki! h edge of that
state to the wedding of his daugh
ter. Senator Kittredge was un
able to be present at the nuptial
event, but the Indians laconically
described the affair subsequently
to illustrate what I he senator had
missed. “Four dogs," said Poor

SOCIALISM, UNIONISM AND
POLITICS
(continued from PAGE 2)
despised, from men who despair,
from women who weep. There
are times when medicants become
revolutionist—when a rag becomes
a banner, under which the noblest
and bravest battle for right. ”
Now rn.v Brother Farmers Un
ion Man, m.v advice to you is to
investigate before you denounce.
And you will learn by the school
of experience, and that, school is a
very expensive one. Yes, sure, 1
am a union man; 1 believe in or
ganized labor, and when we get
organized, then all kinds of labor
should co-operated and form a Fed
eration of Labor. Then we can j
take charge of the affairs of the I
: government and run it in the in
terest of the masses. The laborer
who creates ail the wealth is in the
majority by 90 per cent.
Now my dear sir, that is noth
ing more than good, true demo
cracy. Under the present system
you have to sell your products to
the trust; the trusts sets the price,
and when you go to buy back a
measly part—about one seventh,
• ‘tliats all you get”—you have to
buy from the trusts, and the trust
again sets the price.
Fifty three per cent of the
farmers today do not own a foot of
land, and the land is going into
fewer hands all the time. How do
you expect the homeless to become |
independent by belonging to »
farmers union? (See 12th census,
sec. vol., table 10b.) And again,
there are nine states in the union
today that, have a property qualifi
cation for voting. You see the
capitalists are looking to there in
terest, even if they have go into
polities, and you will have to7 if
you ever get any benefit out of
your Union.
I am getting this letter to long
and will ring off.
