In the leading article o f the current number o f the North American Review Colonel Har­ vey sets forth the vital Import o f this last penciled notaUon o f Mr. Roose­ v e lt He says: “ Mr. Roosevelt died *he acknowl­ edged leader o f the great party Into which he was born. His last written words, penciled by his own hand a few hoars before his death and addressed In the form o f a memorandum for the brilliant young man for whose selec­ tion aa Chairman o f the National or­ ganization he was largely responsible, were these, as reproduced above In facsim ile: “ ‘Hays see him; he must go to Washington fo r 10 days; see Senate and House; prevent split on domestic policies.’ “ Here Is evidenced as clearly as If the few words filled a volume Mr. Roose­ velt’s realization o f both his responsi­ bility and bis obligation. The simple memorandum marked the Inauguration o f a definite party policy, to be carried through to a no less definite conclusion. It was more than a passing thought or a mere suggestion. It was a Message, signifying the need o f Immediate and unremitting vigilance In achieving complete unity o f action In resolving domestic problems before attacking those o f wider range soon to be thrust upon the country— a true soldier’s call first to close the ranks. “ Nothing could be more characteris­ tic or more clearly Illustrative o f the breadth o f vision, the foresight, the directness In method and the painstak­ ing attention o f the man. Nothing, too, probably could have served bis purpose better than that these words should have been bis last. Difficult as It Is to reconcile oneself to the decree o f Divine Providence that the re­ moval o f that great patriot at this cru­ cial moment was not untimely, we can­ not but realize, as he would have been the first to acknowledge, that the last vestige o f animosities which might have continued to Impair hts highest aspirations was burled with him, and thereby the perfect union which he so ardently desired against all tilings un- American wag attained. “ Thus we find the Republican party resuming full legislative authority thoroughly united and Invigorated by the peculiar confidence which so often carried It to victory In former years." ROOSEVELT’S DEPARTING WORDS TO HIS COUNTRYMEN Col. Rooeevelt died about 4 o’clock on the morning o f January 6. The previous evening a t,a great patriotic rally In the New Tork Hippodrome a message was read from him, written especially for the occasion. In It waa this striking sentence: “ W e have room for hut one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization Just as much as It exclude« any foreign flag o f a nation to which we are hostile, • • • and we have room for but one aoul loyalty, and that la loyalty to the A m e ric an people.” NEW WOOL COATINGS Our coatings arc 56 inches wide in pop­ lin and fine quality velour in new pas­ tel shades which are especially adapted for the new capes and dolman coats.
