Ex-President Recalls . Old Par

Known Lake Trip Made,
6ANDPOIXT. Idaho. April 10. Theo
dore Roosevelt returned to Sandpolnt
today after an absence of more than a
quarter of a century, to be welcomed
by as many or more hundreds of peo
ple than these were single Individual
when he last saw this town.
Then Sandpolnt was a single street
of rough board buildings, coupled by
saloons for the most part, and ye only
known method of locomotion was the
horse.
I'olonel Roosevelt found many stone
buildings which gleamed with electric
lights In his honor: he spoke to several
hundred school children gathered be
fore a modern school building on a site
which was covered by forest -"5 years
ago: he saw railroads and trolley lines,
where only forest trails had .been In
the old days.
Mr. Roosevelt beamed with pleasure
on it all. To those about the steamer
which carried him about the lake im
mediately after his arrival he told tales
of standpoint in the frontier days.
On his return from the lake trip.
Mr. Roosevelt was again greeted by the
crowd as he went to his car In an auto
N mobile, a far cry from the cow pony
he rode over the same ground JS years
ago.
Mr. Roosevelt addressed a gathering
tonight that numbered almost the
whole population. Afterwards he re
turned to the private car in which he
traveled from Portland to Spokane,
and which met him here.
It was attached to the regular train
which left Just before midnight and
which will reach Missoula early tomor
row. In talking to the meeting at the
opera-house, which held only a small
portion of the crowd which wished to
hear him. Mr. Roosevelt paid high trib
ute to Senator Borah, of Idaho, citing
with many chuckles the incidents of
his flrat coming to this part of the
country.
Turning to the subject of good gov
ernment. Mr. Roosevelt repeated the
warning that has characterized hla every
address of the present tour, which deals
with governmental changes. Lincoln's
double duty of holding back extremists
and urging the laggards was cited by
Mr. Roosevelt as a subject of study by
the progressives of the day. Mr.
Roosevelt said that as a follower of
Lincoln he must be a progressive.
The opposition to Lincoln, he said,
had attacked him on the ground that
he disturbed business. He smiled very
broadly as he remarked that similar
attacks had been made upon himself
by certain Wall street men when he
quoted the Ten Commandments, "par
ticularly the eighth." In closing Mr.
Roosevelt talked good citizenship as
the only basts of true progress. With
out that, be sal true government by
the people once obtained and improper
ly used, would work out for us not
salvation, but damnation.

SALEM. Or, April . (Special.) With
both tactions at a stage where strong
recriminations are being exchanged the
war which has developed over the reten
tion of Robert L. Kirk as principal of
the high school has reached an acute
stage and there is every indication that
a nnlnh fight will result.
"Profeesor Kirk was originally em
ployed by the school board to straighten
out the affairs at the high echoL" said
W. P. Babcock. chairman ef the School
Board, today. "Before he was elected
the pupils were In charge of the school,
and for that reason he was secured and
he was Informed of the conditions when
he started as principal. Kirk's p-esenee
worked a heavy hardship on some of the
pupils and apparently that 1st the cause
of the difficulty that exiots today. But
if It Is necessary, we will have a full
Investigation as far as I am concerned.
I have been reticent as to bringing soma
of the pupils into this controversy, be
cause on account of tbelr -actions It
would give them a "black eye' and would
be uncreditable to the school. But If this
Is demanded I believe It will be done,
although I have not discussed the ques
tion with the School Board and cannot
speak authoritatively.'
A meeting of those opposed to Kirk was)
held this afternoon, but it was behind
closed doors and those who participated
refused to divulge what occurred. They
did say, however, that the fight against
Kirk haai Just commenced and than they
are more determined than ever to have
their grievance -placed fully before the
Board or before the people.
