LOWER WILLOW CREEK
PROGRESSIVE.
The lower Willow creek section

of the Lower Willow Creek Booster
Club, which was organized by the
people of that section on Saturday
evening, May 24th.
The report given this paper is to
the effect that the meeting was a
very Interesting one and the Willow
Cre:-k precinct was largely repre
sented. They grew enthusiastic over
good roads and resolutions for the
betterment of community interests
were passed unanimously.
Everett Logan was elected presi
dent and O. L. Lundell, secretary of
this new booster club, and Lowr
Willow creek is now united in a
determined effort to work for those
things that will help to build up their
community, and we shall expect to
hear further good reports from them.

Mollie Reed lot just west of the
Gazette-Times office on Willow street

facsimile of Last Memorandum of
Colonel Roosevelt, Penciled a Few
Hours Before He Died.
rlew the country and the Republican
party are indebted for the publication
of this interesting document which car
ries a message from him "who, being
dead, yet speaketh." In the leading
article of the current number of the
North American Review Colonel Har
vey sets forth the vital Import of this
Jast penciled notation of Mr, Roose
velt. He says:
( "Mr. Roosevelt died the acknowl
edged leader of the great party Into
which lie was born. His last written
words, penciled by his own hand a few
hours before his death and addressed
in the form of a memorandum for the
brilliant young man for whose selec
tion as Chairman of the National or
ganization he was largely responsible,
were these, as reproduced above In
facsimile:
" 'Hays
see him ; he must go to Washington
for 10 days; see Senate and House;
prevent split on domestic policies.'
"Here is evidenced as clearly as If the
few words tilled a volume Mr. Roose
velt's realization of both his responsi
bility and his obligation. The simple
memorandum marked the inauguration
of a definite party policy, to be carried
through to a no less definite conclusion.
It was more than a passing thought or
a mere suggestion. It was a Message,
signifying the need of Immediate and
unremitting vigilance In achieving
complete unity of action In resolving
domestic problems before attacking
those of wider range soon to be thrust
npon the country a true soldier's call
first to close the ranks.
"Nothing could be more characteris
tic or more clearly illustrative of the
breadth of vision, the foresight, the
directness in method and the painstak
ing attention of the man. Nothing,
too, probably could have served his
purpose better than that these words
should have been his last. Difficult as
It is to reconcile oneself to the decree
of Divine Providence that the re
moval of that great patriot at this cru
cial moment was not untimely, we can
not but realize, as he would have been
the first, to acknowledge, that the last
vestige of animosities which might
have' continued to Impair his highest
Rspirations was buried with him, and
thereby the perfect union which he so
ardently desired against all things un
American was attained.
"Thus we find the Republican party
resuming full- legislative authority
thoroughly united and Invigorated by
the peculiar confidence which so often
carried It to victory in former years."

ROOSEVELT'S DEPARTING
WORDS TO HIS COUNTRYMEN
CoU Roosevelt died about 4 o'clock
on the morning of January 6. The
previous evening at a great patriotic
rally in the New York Hippodrome a
message was read from him, written
especially for the occasion. In It was
this striking sentence:
"We have room for but one flag, the
American flag, and this excludes the
red flag, which symbolizes all wars
against liberty and civilization Just as
much as It excludes any foreign flag
of a nation to which we are hostile,
and we have room for but one
oul loyalty, and that is loyalty to the
American people."
calls for living Christianity and doing
Christian things, rather than preach
ing Methodism. Great community
churches in the big cities where there
will be healthy amusements and
where the church buildings will be
open seven days a week; community
churches in the country $11,000,000
alone will be spent on helping to
make the country church a real factor,
building cross roads churches, making
allowances so that the rural church
can get the best of pastors and pay
them a salary that will interest them;
educational work in the cities; help
pastors to get a living wage.
Twenty-five million dollars will be
expended in the next five years at the
rate of $5,000,000 on direct war recon
struction work equally divided be
tween Europe and this country. Close
on $3,000,000 has already been spent
by the sending to Europe of the first
Methodist mission ship. Perhaps
there were Bibles on board, but there
were a great many more plows and
tractors. That great ship was loaded
to the gunwales with everything that
could help a people to rebuild.
United Church Is Aim.
Methodism is preaching; a united
church a common church. It is urg
ing that churches unite, the smaller
churches closing that the stronger
ones may be stronger yet.
"Let us have a strong, dominant
Christianity," say the Methodist lead
ers, "ftever mind about the especial
brand.
"With Christianity and the golden
rule ruling the world, peace, democ
racy and Christianity will be unitedly
safe forever."
