THE : OREGON DAILY JOURNAL-', PORTLAND. ; TUESDAY, JANUARY 7. 1919. 4 13 OF COL ROOSEVELT SHOCK TO WHOLE NATION Man of All Views Join in Paying Tribute to Memory of One of Nation's Foremost Citizen. FLAGS FLY AT HALF MAST War and Navy Departments Show Respect for Former President, House and Senate Adjourn. Washington, Jan. 7. Official Wash ington 'was profoundly shocked by the news of Colonel Roosevelt's sudden , death. Everywhere, even anions: those who were his bitterest political oppon- nta," were heard expressions of genuine J regret at the passing of the man who had so Impressed himself upon the na- , tlon's history in times of peace as well as in times of war. Prom the White. House, the capltol and all other public buildings, the flag flew at hatfmaat. Both houses of con gress adjourned after transacting no -other business than to authorise the se lection of committees to attend the fu , nerak services. Vice President Marshall, ; Speaker Clark and many other Demo . crats Joined with Republican senators and congressmen in voicing their sor row." Upon every American naval vessel and from every American naval station throughout the world, the flag was low ered to halfmast by an order trans mitted by Secretary Danfels. This or der read: "Ex-President Roosevelt died this morning. Colors are to be halt masted ! until sunset this evening." Congress Apprised of Death Formal announcement of the death of . Colonel Roosevelt was made in the sen I ate by. Senator Thomas Martin of Vir- gtnia, the Democratic floor leader, and 1 in the house by Representative Ralney i of Illinois, acting leader in the absence - of Mr. Kltehin. Before these announcements were made, however, the news had been flashed , from one member to another p,nd in the cloak rooms and lobbies of SAYS COLD WEATHER BRINGS RETURN OF INFLUENZA Public Must B Careful to Avoid Second Epidemic. Easier to Pre ent Than Cure. What to Do. "Encouraging reports of the fewer fc cases it influensa in this vicinity should not allow us to relax our vigilance or, to become careless in the WHief that the danger is all over, says a well known authority. .With the coming of cold weather there is apt to be a return of this frightful epidemic and its serious ness will depend on the extent of the precautions taken by the public to pre vent iniecuon. When the air is full ot Influenza germs you may be constantly breathing them into your nose and throat. But their .danger jnay be avoided and you may make yourself practically Immune to Infection if you destroy the germ be fore it actually begins work in your blood. . - Curing the recent serious epidemic, which hit Portland so hard, most suc cessful results were obtained by many through the simple breathing into the nose, throat and lungs of the medicated air of oil of HyomeL Probably no bet ter, -safer or more sensible precaution against Influenza, Orippe. Coughs. Colds. Bronchitis or Catarrh of the nose and thfoat could be employed than to go now to the nearest drug store and get a com plete Hyomel outfit consisting of a bot tle of the pure Oil of Hyomel and a little vest pocket hard rubber- inhaling device into which a few drops of the oil are poured. Carry this inhaler with you during the day and each half hour or so put it in your mouth and draw deep breaths of Its pure healing germicidal air into the passages of your "nose... throat and lungs to destroy any germs that may have found lodgement there. This simple pre caution may save you a serious illness "and the loss of several weeks' work. It is pleasant to use and not at all expensive,-as the inhaler will last a lifetime and further supplies of the Oil of Hyo mel can be had at any drug store for a few cents. Hundreds of people in this vicinity used Hyomel in this way during the recent crisis, and avoided danger. They should not fteglect it now, for the dan ger ia by ho means over, JFor sale by Owl Drug Co. Adv. THIN PEOPLE SHOULD TAKE PHOSPHATE Kothlsg Like Plain Bltro-Phonphate to Put on Firm, Healthy Jr'Ienh and - ' to Increase Strength. Vigor n.; " and Nerve Force. . Judging from the countless prepara tions and treatments which are contin ually being advertised for the purpose of making thin people fleshy, developing- arms, neck and bust, and 'replacing iigly hollows and angles by the soft, curved lines of health and beauty, there are - evidently thousands of men and women who keenly feel their excessive thinness. Thinness and weakness are usually due to starved - nerves. Our bodies need more phosphate .than is contained In, modern foods. Physicians claim there is nothing that ' will supply this deficiency so well as tne organic phos phate known among druggists as bltro phosphate, which is Inexpensive and ia sold by most all druggists under a guarantee of satisfaction or money back.' By feeding the nerves directly and by supplying the body cells with the necessary phoepnorlc food ele ments., bitro-phosphate auickly pro duces a welcome transformation in the appearance; the increase In weight fre quently being astonisntng. This .Increase in weight also- carries with it a general Improvement in the health. Nervousness.' . sleeplessness and lack of energy; which nearly always accompany excessive thinness, soon disappear, dull eyes become bright, and I pale - cheeks glow with the bloom of perfect heaitn. ., CAUTION: Although bitro-phosphate Is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness, sleeplessness and general weakness. It should not. owing to , its remarkable flesh-growing properties, be used by anyone who 'does not desire t put on flesh. (Adv.) - the capltol members united in giving expression to .their feelings of. regret. In each house the chaplain made ref erences to the death in the invocation. Chaplains Pay Trlbste The Senate chaplain, the Rev. Forrest JT. Prettyman, said : "One of the men of might, a leader of men, a patriot and scholar, has passed from us. He was honored by his coun trymen by being called to preside as vice president over this body and then called to be our chief magistrate. His name has added luster to the history of our country and his achievements have increased our Influence in the life of the world. Throughout the nation there goes a sense of sorrow that this strong man, so brave and chivalrous and true, has come, to the end of his great career." . The Rev. Henry M. Couden, the blind chaplain of the house, said in his prayer : "He was great in thought, great in deeds, kindly in his ways, but keen in his conception of right. He was a de splser of all things that tend to lessen the good in life. His soul was wrapped up in the life and character t his, na tion. He was bold, fearless and always told whathe believed to be the truth." Senator Martin, rising in the senate Immediately after the chaplain's prayer, said : "The entire country was startled this morning by the announcement of the death of ex-President Roosevelt at his home ia Long Island at an early hour today. This is not a fit time for me to under take to eulogise the memory and achieve ments of ex-President Roosevelt. I will say just a few words. Ability kcTr QnestJoned "The life-Of ex-President Roosevelt was full of activity and achievement. In such a life, of course, he made antag onism, but I do not believe there is a man in the broad limits of the United States who would today, in the presence of this solemn announcement, question the ability of ex-President. Roosevelt, bis patriotism, his courage, his devotion to duty as he saw it. He met all the responsibilities of citizenship in the most courageous manner. That he made mis takes was inevitable, for it is human to err, but certainly It may be said without fear of contradiction that his errors were made in 'what he believed to be the best service of bis country, for he was devoted to his country and hesitated at no sacrifice which he could make to promote its honor, its prosperity and its welfare. "A characteristic of his life was his unqualified courage. He never had a conviction In his life that. he did not have the courage to follow. He was a man of unlimited courage, of limitless resources and unbounded patriotism. I look upon him as one of the great men produced on this continent since the dis covery of America." Senators to Attend Funeral Senator Martin presented a resolution asking for the appointment' of a com mittee of 15 senators to attend the fu neral. The following were named by Vice President Marshall: Senators Lodge, Martin, Wadsworth. Calder, Johnson of California, Knox. Kellogg, Poindexter, Curtiss, Harding, Saulsbury, Chamberlain, Underwood, Reed and Simmons. When Senator Lodge of Massachu setts, Republican leader, arose to re spond to Senator Martin's resolution, he. was visibly affected and hie voice betrayed the extreme emotion under which he was laboring. The relations between Colonel Roosevelt and Senator Lodge were very close. Senator Lodge spoke as follows: "Mr. President : I rise simply to sec ond the. resolution offered by the sen ator from Virginia. Mr. Roosevelt served his country In war. He was president of-the United States and as vice president presided over this body. He was a great patriot, a great Ameri can, a great man. He was devoted throughout his life to his country, lie tried always to be a servant of human ity. At his moment thoughts and mem ories so crowd upon me that I can say no more!." The senate then adjourned. Even Opponents Grieved In informing the house of the death of the former ' president. Representative Ralney said: , "The country has heard with pro found regret of the death of Theodore Roosevelt. Those wjjp could not agree with him politically found in him a ready foeman, splendidly equipped to defend the positions he took. "He was a man of tremendous energy, a perfect engine of force and rendered his country 6plendld service in the army, as governor of a great state, as vice president and as president of the United States. He loved his country and his long public career, as well as his career since his retirement from public life, was characterized by t Intense practical patriotism. "He won for himself an enduring place in literature and if. he had done nothing else than this he would have achieved a distinction which has come to but few men of his generation. His indom itable energy led him into the field of geological exploration and if his achieve- j ment were limited to that field alone, he would have perpetuated his name to future generations. Place 'In History Assured "As commanding officer of the Rough IV.dors in Cuba he demonstrated that he was possessed of , the courage and the i abili of which great soldiers are made. His military service, including his fear less demand for a redress of the griev ances of the men in the ranks, alone would have won him a place in his tory. "In addition he served with distinction in the naval organisation of the United States and his career as vice president and president has left, an impression upon the history of the country which will endure. "His sturdy Americanism, his intense patriotism in peace and in war, in pub lic office and as h private citizen, will always command the respect and the ad miration of this and of future genera tions." Attorney General Gregory moved ad journment of the supreme court as a tribute to the memory of the dead ex president. -,. This unusual honor was granted in a brief announcement by Chief Justice White Immediately after the court convened. Chief Justice White said: "The court sorrows to learn of the death of this great and conspicuous son of the republic whose service the country has lost and it is glad to give this mark of, respect by granting the motion of the attorney general." Hotel Men Opposed To Government Plan To Own Railroads Hotel men protested Monday against government ownership' and control of railroads at a luncheon of the Oregon Hotel Men's association at the Oregon and resolved to advlserOregon congress men of their opinion. The hotel men claim to be in first, position to know of the discomforts suffered by the public, the needless expenses heaped on be cause of government inefficiency and the tremendous damage done to the hotel industry. . - v Resolutions were also adopted on the death, of Colonel Roosevelt .and a. -message of condolence sent to the family. mmmmmm -i--- i a i- Glenwood Butter $1.40Delivcred Only Vith Other Grocery Purchases 4th Floor"-mmmmTmm "f " iS. &.
