CHOICE ARRAY CHOICE I M S In a book which I own— made up from best selections by 50,000 schol ars of the land— are the choicest array, of the choicest truths in the English language. The book was published in 1905. In it I find the following, and present herewith a verbatim copy: THEODORE ROOSEVELT. And Theodore Roosevelt! Future history will carve his name in the niche of fame. He is the embodiment of all that is best and noblest in American manhood. A true knight; a man with out fear, and without reproach. He is the apostle of deeds, of strenuous life, of life full of duties to be performed, tasks to be executed, wrongs to be rec tified. The joy of life pulsates in his manly veins, the triumph of the right eous battling with the numerous octopi that threaten to undermine our indus trial existence glistens in his eyes; a better helmsman, a steadier steersman to guide the vessel of this republic does not exist. His is the voice of justice, of fairness, of absolute equality among all classes. Happy is the land that can boast of such a man, and can appreciate his virtues.—Dr. Elias Copeland, Port land, Maine, Jan. 4, 1904. There is no need of any added word or phrase, to make a per fect boquet of the rarest truths, re garding the illustrious American, whom many millions love, nor need be any one dariog enough to essay it. This, however, may be said of what Dr. Copeland formulated eight years ago— true then ! ttue now ! Among true and able men “ T . R .” is the truest and ablest whom the millioned masees want for the next President of the United States, and they will have him too as sure as the June convention convenes, o ra November election is held. Those of us who live to see the date, will live also to see “ T.
