Hoosevlt s place in his country's his
tory. Washington stoo,t before the
men of his time somewhat In the
same illation borne by Roosevelt to
the nu n of his time. By many he
was loved, by many he was hated,
and it is pretty well authenticated
that his refusal to be a candidate for
the presidency for a third term had
its inception in the knowledge that
his own state, Virginia, was opposed
to him.
Kcwciiiiilofl Jack.MMi.
But the president to whom, tem
peramentally. Roosevelt Is most like.
is Jackson. The savage onslaughts'
made on him in Congress by public
men outside of that body, and by the
leaders of the conservative forces of
the country, recall In striking fashion
the attacks to which Roosevelt has
been subjected. And yet Jackson was
one of the greatest of the presidents,
and the star of his fame shines more
brightly with the receding years.
Lincoln, now the best loved of all
the presidents, and every where ad
mitted to be one of the greatest char
acters of all time, it Is necessary to
remark was the most cordially hated
man of his time in the United States.
North and south detractors were
everywhere In evidence, and it was
not until the great civil conflict had
been a generation removed In point
of time, that he began to come into
his own.
Where Rosevelt will stand in his
tory as compared with these three
great figures Is not and cannot be
known nt this time. It Is conceded,
however, that he will have a place in
that exalted company. His ambition.
'frankly expressed to his friends, has
been to have such a place. He ha
regarded Washington and Lincoln s
the two greatest men the country has
given to the world, and he has been
fond, in his patriotic addresses and
elsewhere, of speaking of the one as
having founded the nation and the
other as having preserved it.
die hus wanted. In his day, and in
the handling of the issues peculiar
to it, to be to the country what
Washington and Lincoln were to It
in their day, respectively. He has
said that if he failed it would not be
because the opportunity was not
present, but because he did not have
the force and ability to grasp it.
And so he has pursued his course
es president, mapped out with great
care, genuine patriotism and as much
intelligence as he could command,
personal
not or
the
almost
,.,,ii-,i Mi ot an impulsive
i l,i,i, he cither could
i.i not control. It is also
judgment of these men that those
faults will not be remembered by
posteritv, just as they have not been
remembered In the case of Jackson,
and that posterity will assign him a
place in the galaxy of Americas
great statesmen, because of the prin
ciples for which he has stood so
faithfully and aggressively during
his service as president.
His l iilqiie Personality.
There is compensation in the
thought that Mr. Roosevelt, us has
been, and always will be, the case
with men of his unique personality,
has had all the virtues of his short
comings, his weaknesses. His impet
uosity, which has grated so harshly
on many public men with whom he
has come Into contact; his aggressive
spirit; his sublime optimism and con
fidence in himself; his tenoency i
use, at times, the "short and ugly"
word; his disposition to overcome all
opposition by sheer mental and moral
strength; his impatience with the
slow and tortuous processes which
congress inevitably pursues; his va
rious peculiarities of mood and man
ner, which are tesponsible for much
of his unpopularity with large bod
ies of well meaning citizens all these
have been but the outward and visi
ble signs ot an inward and titanic
purposo to serve. These weaknesses
have been but the necessary accom
paniments of a character such as his.
Posterity, putting aside these weak
nesses, will analyse that character,
Just as it has analyzed the character
of Washington, of Jackson, or Lin
coln: will separate the pure gold
which it contains from the dross
which has been somewhat too much
In evidence with his contemporaries,
and will assign to him a place in his
tory accordingly.

MIDGE HAD
ANOTHER
SCHEME
He Wanted Statehood Delayed
Through the Summer,
But Owen Prevent
ed It.
Washington, March 9. IU feeling
over the attitude which the Senate
bus assumed toward the statehood
bill has not subsided. The statehood
advoeutes si-em to hJld Senator Uev
eiidge of Indiana, the chairman of
the committee on territories, princip
ally responsible for the situation as it
now exists. Several of them took hold
of the charges which were made be
fore the committee, and are having
an fnalyis made of them.
It Is understood Governor Curry
has si nt word here that he wants the
charges submitted to him, and tint
he courts the most sweeping Investi
gation. His friends here have been
trying to get at the charges in an offi
cial way, but with comparatively mile
success.
Senator licverldge has a resolution
providing for u umnur investigation
of conditions In New Mexico and Arl
aona and which he tried to get
through the Se-nate. He wanted an
opportunity but was just as eagerly
watched by Senator Owen of Okla
homa, a member of his committee. It
developed that Senator Owen was
prepared to substitute for the Bever
Idge resolution a motion to take the
statch.od bill from the committee. He
had circulated word of his Intention
very industriously on the minority
side of the chamber and had a goodly
attendance, not only of Democrats but
of Republicans, who favor statehood.
This w-aa the situation when the re
publican leaders heard of the Owen
plan and that he was receiving co
operation from Senators Foraker, Car
ter and Curtis of the Republican. The
Democrats welcomed anything that
ould Hid In the flillibuster they were
conducting against the penal code bill
and the Kepubllcans were in illy veil
ed sympathy with them. It was feared
however, that the situation would be
come eo complicated by letting tne
statehood matter get into the legisla
tive hopper that Senator Beveridge
whs urged to withdraw his n-Holution.
The Indiana senator was the more
willing to do this as he learned that a
severe denunciation of himself and his
action in connection with the handling
of the statehood matter In his com
mittee was in contemplation.

During the presidential campaign
ti4 years ago certain Whig newspapers
published an absurd statement derog-
tory to the Democratic candidate for
president James K. I'olk. under the
aption. "Baron Roorback's Tour
Throught the Western and Southern
Statitf." The statement was easily
disproved, and probably did little or
no harm to the man it attacked. Kver
tiiuce then, in American political par-
it nee, the "roorback" has been the
ampaign lie, particularly the one ut
tered so soon before election as to
make Its answer a matter of dilficulty.
Few languages are so free from for
Ign elements as Oeriuan, in which
veil medical and scientific terms are
expressed by great polysyllables in
stead of the far more concise Oreek
and Datln forms in current utkj among
other nationalities. At the present
time, however, when the Berlin pa
pers are full of the Austro-Turkish
crisis, tins word "boicottiren ' is freely
used. In addition to the erniHii verb
Capt. Boycott is Immortalized in the
"boyeotter" of the French, iioycoten"
of the Dutch, and "ooycottlr ivat" of
the Russian.
As used nowadays by the ne -papers,
tho word "Interview" Is ti.iid to
have been the Invention of Joseph Mo
Cullough, of St. Douis. and, accord
ing to the Encyclopedia l'.ritannicu, It
became popular In England In the
eat y nineties. But it was known be
foi that. A writer on the subject In
