VISITS HERE ARE RECALLED Former President's Influence Awakening American Conscience Pointed Oat by Friends. in With the death of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt there came to many Port land residents the deepest sense of Intimate personal loss. Strong friend and staunch fighter, champion of causes that lie close to the American heart. It was with this as with every other American city a paladin of the people 'had passed. "Theodore Roosevelt, as reader and man, did more than any other citizen of his generation to awaken the Amer ican conscience." Broad analysis of the comments on Colonel Roosevelt's death, as voiced by Portland citizens, resolves Itself to such a statement of conviction. Uttered by those who were his political an tagonists, as well as by thoee who were near to him In his- beliefs and aspirations and who hold the guerdon of his friendship. It voices the senti ment of the city. In Portland, where his supporters and admirers are counted by thou sands. Colonel Roosevelt lacked not for friends who knew him intimately. who often had talked with him of his lews on American policies and the future of the Nation, and who knew s only friends can know the depths of his . resolute ideals and the stub born courage that backed them. Colonel's Life Admired. The Rt. Rev Walter T. Sumner, Episcopal Bishop of Oregon, who was ldest among local friends in the length f his acquaintanceship, recalls vividly the many talks he had with Colonel Roosevelt as his guest at Sagamore Hill. Then In Chicago. Bishop Sumner made frequent visits to New Tork and ften lunched with Colonel Roosevelt, arrangement that was pleasantly reversed on the occasion of the lat ter's visits to Chicago. The friendship had been uninterruoted, and Bishop Sumner has many personal letters from Colonel Roosevelt, as well as rare and exquisite gifts. He was truly a great man. said Bishop Sumner, "intellectually, politi cally and spiritually. The world is uch better for his living. He served is time and generation, and served well. "In speaking of a man of this char cter, whose deeds have spoken highly for him, any expression that may give is but weak and unavailing. The passing of Colonel Roosevelt lose to the Nation a tremendous loss but the loss to humanity Is still greater, and the loss in moral per uaslon and force, with which his char of one of his sons, fallen for the com mon cause' on our battlefield, endeared him more especially to us. France feels that America's bereavement is her own." TORONTO. Ont.. Jan. 6. Sir William Hearst.

Oscar S.

It was ray good fortune to know him from his boyhood. His seven years In the White House and his policies excited the wildest and bitterest con troversies. "The tremendous prosperity of the country had led to the formation of great combinations. Industrial and oth erwise, and efforts of powerful men to form greater ones.

Air, Colonel's Character Landed. "My own personal lose I feel greatly, but it Is Insignificant by comparison to that of the Nation and the world. Judge Henry E. McGinn, close per sonal friend of Colonel Roosevelt since 1912, when the ex-President visited Portland in behalf of his candidacy as the Presidential nominee of the Pro pre salve party, has had frequent let ters and messages from Mm, and generally conceded to have been better advised than any other Oregon citizen upon the Colonel's political alms and ideals. "It is rare where the characteristics of a contemplative man, an idealist and a man of action, a doer of things. are found in one and the same per son. said Judge McGinn. "These qua! Itis were more nearly found in Theo dore Roosevelt than in any other man of my day and generation. He will be placed with our greatest Presidents. He was the President who, next to Lin coin, made prominent the proverb 'righteousness exalteth a nation, bu sin is a reproach to any people. H loved America for her own sake and the spirit which sprang up on this soil as the greatest heritage that could come to any human being. He lived It, taught It by precept and example. It must have been, as It was, the crown ing achievement of his life to realize that he had given four sons to the world's greatest war for freedom. Achievements Are Recalled. "It is Idle to speculate upon what might have happened had he been President when the world war was started In 1914. It could only have been delayed, as I view it, because the conflict between autocracy and de mocracy was an Inevitable one, as was the conflict over slavery in our own country. His .greatest material achieve ment was the building or tne Manama Canal: his greatest moral achievements were the return to China of SI 4.000.000, exacted in excess of our just demands and the forcing of the coal trust to give the people coal at reasonable rates, as well as the improvement made in the coal miners condition through the committee appointed by him to in vestigate and report on the coal situa tion as they saw it. 'His appeals through his messages to Congress to better the lot of those workers who placed their lives and limbs in jeopardy at every move and the translation of his ideala into statutes, both state and National, place him among the benefactors of the hu man race. But why should I go further and enumerate? It could not be done within reasonable bounds. History will record that of all who believed in idealizing the American spirit and making it as nearly synonymous with the Sermon on the Mount, as our poor human nature would allow, there were none born greater than he. I count it as Bne of the privileges of my life that it was given me to know this good and great man in the intimacy of a friendship which can only end with my life. I loved Theo dore Roosevelt when living; I honor and reverence his memory now that he Is gone, 'Why art thou oast down. O my soul, and why art thou dis quieted within me? Hope thou In God; for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance and my God.' " In the death of Theodore Roosevelt Is seen not only the loss of a promi nent National figure, but the loss of a strong possible contender for the Pres idency in 1920. according to Thomas H. Tongue, Jr., chairman of the Republi can state central committee of Oregon. "The death of Colonel Roosevelt comes as a distinct shock to all who were acquainted with his rugged physi cal strength and his active career," said Mr. Tongue. i "He was a man of high Ideals, abso lutely fearless and ever ready to fight for the right. By his strong and mag netic personality he attracted men to him and held them., as it has been pos sible for few others, and, at the time of. his death, bad a stronger peraocal j following than any other man In pub lic life. Far-sightedness Is Praised. "During the past year, many who were bitterly opposed to him in 1912 had pledged him their support and freely predicted his re-election in 1920. I "He was an independent, far-seeing J statesman, and his personality and j counsel will be greatly missed in the Republican party. But his death, par- ticularly. coming as It does, at the end of the war. when the best brains of the Nation are needed to meet and solve the great problems of reconstruction, is a distinct National loss. He will be . mourned throughout the land." j . Colonel Roosevelt made several vis- j its to Portland. Clearest in public I memory is his visit aa the Presidential candidate of the Progressive party, on September 11, 1912, when elaborate plans had been laid for his reception nd entertainment. Wearied from the strain - of the campaign and from a long continued routine of public speaking. Colonel Roosevelt's arrival in Portland found him in a somewhat choleric mood. Various incidents added to his vexa tion, and the visit can scarcely be termed a successful one, as it ter minated In his withdrawal from the parade in his honor, the cancellation of several public engagements, and the celebrated "book episode." Book Incident Recalled. This last awakened humorous com ment aa wide as the Nation, co charac teristic It was of Colonel Roosevelt In pugnacious mood. It had to do with the disappearance from bis room, at the Oregon Hotel, of a copy of "The Second Roman Empire." a volume siven him by Mrs. Roosevelt. Secret service operatives searched in vain for the missing book, while the ex-President canceled his final engagement and re tired to his private car. On the occasion of this visit, when he spoke at the Gipsy Smith Tabernacle, ; Colonel Roosevelt first met Judge Mc Ginn, who introduced him. In July. 1915, he was a brief visitor in the city while en route to San Francisco, where "Roosevelt day" was celebrated. On this trip he was accompanied by Judge McGinn as his guest As President he visited Portland on May 21. 1903, when he laid the corner stone of the Lewis and Clark monu ment and addressed a gathering of many thousands. That night be was entertained at a banquet given in the Hotel Portland. Colonel Roosevelt also visited Port land on April 6, 1911, laying the cor nerstone of the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club. On this visit he ad dressed a mass meeting at the Armory, spoke before the Chamber of Com merce at a luncheon In his honor and spent the evening as the guest of the Portland Press Club, where an extra ordinary "jinks" was celebrated . In tribute to the distinguished guest. Portland Always Welcomed T. R- On every visit to Portland the wel- pme to Colonel Roosevelt has been typical of the spirit of comraaene mat prevailed between him and the Ameri can people. His appearances were al ways the cue for cheering, shouting throngs, who made it unmistakably known that, whether with him politi cally or against him, they were strong ly partisan for that virile, vigorous, sometimes savage, but always tren chant and juBt, personality that Amer lea loved and respected as "Teddy." DKATII SHOCKS NEW ENGLAND Ex-President's Last Appearance in Boston Is Recalled. BOSTON, Jan. 6. The death of Colo nel Roosevelt caused a shock In New England, though his Intimates had known something of his physical con dition, and those who observed him closely at his last public appearance in Boston, on. May 2, realized that he was a broken man physically. The occasion was a liberty loan rally. When the Colonel arrived he seemed a bit wearied by the demonstration. Later Governor McCall facetiously re ferred to his own age and then to Col onel Roosevelt as still a young man, comparatively. At this the Colonel smiled and shook bis head, and in a voice that was audible only to those very near him, said: "No, no." The happiest episode In his visits to Boston was when, on March 29, the J Colonel, for the first time, saw his grandson, Archibald B. Roosevelt, Jr. His delight was exhibited with the old time ring when at the home of Thomas S. Lockwood, father-in-law of Captain Archibald Roosevelt, he found the Cap tain's wife and the newest Roosevelt, just two months old. At the time Cap tain Roosevelt was in a hospital in France.

A dispatch to the Daliy News from Dublin, dated Wednesday night. Bays: Sensational particulars of a plan for a new Irish rising in the mountainous districts of Wicklow and Wexford were criven to a court-martial held here to day. They were contained in a docu ment which the ponce swear iney found on a hotel bookkeeper named John Gallagher, at Baltlngiass isa miles southwest of Dublin), where he was arrested last Sunday. This document, which was reaa in court, is headed: "Plan of action of the Second Battalion in the area al ready specified." The document itself begins "On the order to strike being received Baltlngiass should be estab lished as battalion headquarters, which shall be in touch with brigade head quarters for two points, viz., Castle dermot and Tullow." "After specifying a number of police barracks and railway stations wnicn are to be seized with the help of two In o tors filled with armed men. the document proceeds: "The capture of these positions will be communicated to battalion headquarters and thence to bricade headquarters. This accom plished, military law shall be enforced bv volunteers and a proclamation post ed up in various centers. .

Gallagher refused to plead to the charges on the ground that the court was composed of "representatives of the enemy's oc cupation."

Many a man is fighting: just as hard behind the lines as did the boys at the front. But when a man (or woman) has to meet the attack of the influenza bacilli ten to one he will have a close shave if his kidneys are not right. Influenza and Grippe often cause an inflammation of the kidneys either at time of attack or afterward. It is due to nature's effort to throw off the poisons. When you are troubled with back ache, or headache when your kid neys get sluggish and clog, you must relieve them, as well as your bowels. Ward off serious troubles .at once by obtaining at the drug store an anti-uric-acid tablet, first discovered by Dr. Pierce, and called "Anuric." This will flush the bladder and kidneys, and it is well to drink plenty of hot water, or better still, hot lemonade. Take occasional doses (two or three times a week) of a natural purgative, made up of May-apple, leaves of aloe, jalap, and rolled into a tiny, sugar-coated pill, to be had at all drug stores, as Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. Often this treatment will ward off the influenza. After the Grippe, when the man or woman lacks snapp or energy, is pale and weak, he or she should take a good John Cyril Llard.
