Far Copy 2 cent On tratoa. and Kewa Stand cam Roosevelt B AINBRIDGE Colby, came secretary of state undertaken to review the ' Theodore Roosevelt by Owen Roosevelt partisan, devotes a book to berating Wilson, much . idoL Mr. Colby, who Dominated Roosevelt at the 1916 con vention, and subsequently became a member of the Wilson cabinet and still later a law partner of Wilson, shows in his article in the August "Current History, a distinct loyalty to his last attachment. Withal, however, Colby does analyze with considerable accuracy the story of the Roosevelt-Wilson animosity, or more particularly the Roosevelt animosity toward Wilson, for Wilson seldom or never revealed per sonal antagonism towards his great antagonist. Even to his ardent admirers Roosevelt was riven to gross exaggeration. His controversial speech and writings were marked by what might trenje hyperbole; and more bluntly might be characterized as downright falsity. Roosevelt would probably insist that his intemperate utterances were literally true, but that was because he was' an ardent egoist and unconscious of any wrong-dome: within himself. Thus Roosevelt described his political foes who had, we believe, improperly seized control of the 1912 republican luuvcmiuu as trwRB, uuigiais aim bwohu-swi men. Again in 1916 he wrote: "It is Wilson, toot Bryan, , gogue. adroit, tricky, false, without one spark at loMaess la aim, without a touch of the herioc in hia cold selfish and timid soul." I Now such irrational outcries reflect only on the one who makes them. They are samples of the lacerating acer bity of Roosevelt in his post-presidential days. Colby seeks to account for his vocal violence by his consuming ambition to become president again. He says: "It would be bard to find la aay American career a period of four years taken up-with visions of tke presidency and efforts to attaia ft, than the years from 1912 to 1916 in the life of Theodore Roosevelt. Four times in as many years he was a candidate for the presidential nomination la a national party coaveatkra, and twice the recipient of a formal nomination. He proposed to be president. It it were humanly possible-. Of that there Is little room for doubt, and his, bitter sens of bafflement and frustration found vent in the railing diatribes which he directed at Woodrow 'Wilson." Roosevelt was eager to become president again, and perhaps his blind striking at Wilson is accounted for by this ambition.' We rather think however that Roosevelt was eager to be president because the stage from 1916 to 1918 was' a-RooseveJtian stage. War engulfed the world, and Roosevelt was a fighter. He was like the warhorse, smell ing the battle afar off. He longed to be in a place of power and mastery where he could drive and command. It was his misfortune to be born to power too soon. Roosevelt suffered also from jealousy. He had the con-' viction that no one could carry forward the presidency soj well as he. Poor Taft failed, partly through Roosevelt's j desertion, party through his own poor judgment of men; and measures. Wilson, the spare Cassius4ike scholar-politician, was some grim ogre to Roosevelt who flayed him and berated him with reckless abandon. Loyal Rooseveltians must admit that their leader pass ed into eclipse after his triumphal return in 1910. The halo clung to him; but his mtemperence in utterance and his virulent abuse of others in public life clouded his fame. The Wister book will reappear no doubt after certain corrections have been made. Its publishers were threatened with libel because of one incident described which related to the social ambitions of a prominent society woman of Charleston, S. d, so they withdrew the book until new plates could be prepared. Roosevelt's great piace in American history is assured, though his heroic stature seems to shrink some with the passing of time. The Wister book must be read, however, with regard for the element of discount on the writing of one who was frankly a hero-worshipper.

By Nancy Barr Mavity His first glance at Mrs. Everett showed him that, even ia jail, awaiting trial for murder, she had not forgotten the example of the Englishmen in the jungle. Ever ett had evidently been sent back ta the house tor a suitcase im mediately upon his release, for Alias's cress of cunningly pleat ed leaf-green silk was fresh and tmm&culgte. The broken amber holder had been replaced by an equally long green one. She flipp ed open an enameled cigarette ease and passed it to Peter, as It she Tere hostess to a morning aller instead ef being a prison- er. "Yu are going to arrange for a lawyer, I think my husband said!" she began in a tone of formal poUteness, oddly at vari ance with her words, Peter notic ed that the hand holding the arette case trembleo1 slightly, but her eyes were steady. Peter glanced at the mono grfcmmed cigarette whleh he had abeeat-miatdedhr taken from the case, laid It down on the sher iffs desk, aad reached tor hi pipe. 1 am. he said. "Aad I have a tew suggestions to make to him wSh your approval. I went out te the lodge this mernlna; and I teund a revolver in the table drawer.' Mrs. Everett nodded. "Yee," she said. "I know." Good! I thought you did. Now tf yoa can teatify that you aad Mr. Mortison had sa ahercattea, and that you aaw him open the dwer and reach for his revolv er thai, the drawer was epen when yea tired-" He paused Aline released a series of this gray smoke rings into the air. She pursed her lips aad expelled the smoke with the air of an ex pert, but the rings wavered and' broke, half-termed. She watched them far a moment and then, as if aware of their subtle betrayal of her nervousness, laid the cig arette holder on the table with a sharp click. "There wasn't aay altercation. There were ao word spoken at all. As far the drawer I don't re member whether It was open or hat." she said at last- But you're got to remember. Peter insisted. "Look here, you: Said that your first shot went wide. I've checked on that, and it the bullet really came from your pistol. It's the truth. At any rate, somebody did fire frees the front of the room through the back wincVw. What did Mertwoa do then?" Mrs. Everett considered lor a moment Then her eyes lifted to Peter's with faint surprise. "Why, be didat do anything." "How de yen mean -he dldat do anything?" Peter prodded. "Just that Be didn't de any thing at all. Aad It has just tbta minute occur ice' to mo that that' rather queer." But Peter, Intent on his' own line of thought, had hardly beard her. "Of course if you did fir both these shots, you'd bar to gay that he reached tor the gun be fore the first one. Otherwise, the self-defense woud be all hi. But if the shot through the window was fired by aemeon pise,- aad startled him Into reaching for his ra , T did fire both shots. I've al ready teld yop that," fit isn't what yea told me, it's what you're going to tell the Jury that counts," Peter reminded her harshly. -.. . - ... rWeU. that's -what I am going tottell the Jury." Alias's gleam ing, pelated fingers picked up the cigarette holder, toyed with It for h moment, and carried it to her Una. It was a gesture ot ehal leage, as if the translucent green tube bad been a trumpet et bat J4a -4 .-' ... '"Dauntless the slug horn to hfs lips he set, and blew,"' Peter quoted softly, a whimsical smile of understanding widening his sensitive Hps. "Exactly so," Aline' eyes met his with a brief ansjrering 'amUe. "Mr. Piper, you gaTe me the credit of having brains and warn ed me that I'd need them. The most dangerous thing in this sit uation for me is not that I'm go ing to be, triej? tor murder. It's that I'm going to tell a lie, and stick to It. A lie is a desperately dangerous thing. It will he the thing to convict me, If the prose cution discovers that It's a lie, and makes the Jury see it too." "With that lie against me, no one will believe anything else I ay no one except Max. But If I deny the real motive that took dg-Jne to MerOsoa's lodge that day, Max will believe me. I owe him that He, and I'll stick to it, even if Her voice faltered through trembling lips. The gay cigarette holder rattled against the aide of the ash tray as she flipped off a length of ash and pressed a fresh cigarette against the glowing stub. "But if we could show that the drawer was open," Peter persist- )CaL "If I remembered, I'd tell you; but I honestly don't. And dont you see, the only safe thing for me to do. with that one lie, is to cling to the strict truth ia every thing else. It's going to be hard enough as it is. I dea't dare add to the complications. Aad that's what lies are complications. It you doa't look out, one toads to another, and you get all tangled up In them. That would be nice for the prosecution but not so nice for me." Again her j-e were llftec' to Peter's with a smile, the; smile of one who f desperately frightened and yet faces fear with courage. "I dont know but you're right, at that," Peter admitted. He did not envy the lawyer his client. She would not submit do dlely to coachiagr-yet there was seas in what she had said. "Then you dont know any thing at all about aay shots other than your own?" he asked, watch lag her keenly ander cover ef fumbling tn his pocket for his sack of tobacco. 'I doa't know anything at an about any other shots. But tor the second time Peter scarcely heard her. HU flagere, reaching for the tobacco, had en countered the edge ef the broken Chinese box.

"The inhabitants had left their canoes, mats, bladders, train oil, baskets, bowls and trenchers lying about the house at the mercy of every visitor; a proof, indeed, of the mutual respect for the property of each other, though we have had very conclu sive evidence that the property of white men is not deemed equally sacred. a "The guide informed him fur ther that a small distance above were two bayous, on which were a number of small houses be longing to the Cushooks, but that the inhabitants bad all gone up to the falls ef the Multnomah, for the purpose of fishing. S "Early the next morning (April 3) Captain Clark proceed ed P the river, which, during the night, had fallen about five inches. At the distance of two miles he came to the center ef a bend under the highlands on the right side, from which its course, as could be discovered, was to the east of southeast. At this place the Multnomah is 60 yard wide, and for half that distance across the cord ef five fathoms would not reach the bottom. It appears to be wash ins; away its "banks and has more sandbars and willow ppinta than the Columbia. a "Its regular gentle current, the depth and smoothness, and the uniformity with which it rolls Its vast body of water, prove that Its supplies are at oace distant and regular; nor, judging from ft appearance and courses, is ft rash to believe that the Multnomah and its tributary streams water the vast extent of country between the western mountains and those of the sea coast, aa far perhaps as the Gulf ef California! (The Willamette fls a fine river and "its sup- pUes are at once dlstaae and regular"" bt net that distant. Captain Clark was not often far wrong tn his surmises and guess es, but he overshot the mark by something orer 10 miles this time.) S "About 11 o'clock he reached the house of the Keerehekfoo, which he new found to coatain eight families: but they were all so much alarmed at his presence, notwithstanding his Visit yester day, that he remained a very few minates ealy.

"The root is formed of rafter and round pole laid on them, longitadinally. - "The whole Is covered with double row or the bark of white cedar, extending from the top 12 Inches over the eaves, and se cured as well as smoothed hy splinters of. dried fir, inserted through it. at regular distances. "In this manner the root is made, light, strong and durable. "Near this bouse are the re mains of several other large buildings, suak in the ground and constructed Uke those we bad seen at the great narrows of the Columbia, belonging te the Eloots, with whom these people claim an affinity." (This will be continued to morrow.) A fathom is six feet. It is the distance of a man's spread hands from finger-tip to finger tip. It was formerly considered to be about tire and a half feet.

The Bits man thinks "some thing ought to be done about" the extra charges, as common carriers, to which farmers har vesting flax and hauling It .for themselves and their neighbors have been subjected, under our automobile license law. If a farmer has a truck or a trailer, or both, and wishes te aid his neighbor grower tn getting his crop to market, he must take out an extra lice nee as a common carrier. He may never be a com mon carrier for aay other pur pose. But th law Is the law, aad it must be obeyed. n Our license law is .pretty good, new. It needs correction in only a few place. The case of tarn-' era being subjected to common carrier charges is one. The mat- ; ter of quarterly license fee is ' aaother.
