autllrnes. made an hour's Informal talk
at a luncheon In hla honor, and tonlaht
a-ltireri an assemblage In t'asadena
on tde subje.1 of hla experience In
Africa.
The first adlresa waa at the Young
5Ien s Christian Association, where Colo
rel Roosevelt spoke for a quarter of an
hour on tha work of that organisation.
His talk there waa confined to the field
occupied by tie V. M. C. A. and Its work
with the public. In the course of It he
aid:
I nrcrr-.lve Should Be Itrtired.
"1 am a progressive. Every man ought
to be. When a man haa ceased to be a
progressive, he should be retired. If he
has been a good man. he should be re
tired on a pension. If he haa not he
."-mild he retired anyway."
The luncheon given the Colonel br
K. T. Karl, the Ixa Angeles publisher,
was attended by Si guests. It was purely
a private function. Among the guests
was Francis J. Ileney.
I'nring an extended Informal talk at
this luncheon. Colonel Roosevelt la un
derstood to have discussed many import
ant topics In a very frank manner, lie
paid a high compliment to Mr. Henry,
and his opinion of Mr. Heney was his
only expression on thla occasion which
he desired given out for publication. In
fart. Colonel Roosevelt repeated his re
mark regarding Mr. Heney. emphasising
them and especially riueting that they
be gtven to the newspapers.
Henry Clvrn Hleh Praise.
The exact language of Mr. Roosevelt,
as slven out for publication, follows:
"When, in the Oregon land case. It be
es me necessary to obtain a roan of great
aM'ity and Indomitable courage, I went
t Francis J. Heney. As a result of that
efTrvrt we g-t one United Stales Senator
in strlpe: we got one Congressman In
atrlpes also and we there worked a real
and n!lcal reform.
Mr. Heney represented, among those
with whom I was as-sWlated. together
with Henry I- Stlmaon I ahould say he
was the embodiment of efficiency, com
bined with truculent and aggressive hon
esty. We need these qualities more than
anything else, of standing absolutely
square with regard to social, political or
economical Influences."
Colonel Rovsevelt e second address of
the day waa delivered at Temple Audi

tour.
I .earn, to Hold Tour Own. He Sara.
Colonel Roosevelt's talk to the teach
ers and pupils was largely a lecture on
the meaning and effect of education. He
paid high compliment to the profession
of teaching, which he characterized aa
ti-e greatest of all professions. In char
acteristic language he likewise admin
istered a rehuke to derelict parents who.
he said, shirked their natural responsi
bilities in the bringing up of their chil
dren by depositing them In schools and
polng no further attention to them, ex
pecting that they would be turned out
enlneotty respectable.
"You cannot be the right sort." aald
Colonel Roosevelt to the high acbooi
rhlldrrn. until you are able to hold
your own to eara your own livelihood
when It becomes necessary to support
thoee who are dependent upon you. Yoo

of your fellowroen. Cut first of all you

on the Silets reservation. About 3000
acres were involved In the case. The

pointed on the Commerce Court. The
sentence waa six months in the County
Jail and a 1500 fine. The case went to
the United States Circuit Court of Ap
peals, and the Judgment was affirmed.
President Taft waa then called upon
to exercise executive clemency.
