- IDAHO COUNTY FREE PRESS * _j second class mail matter, at the postoffice Orangeville, Idaho A Weekly Newspaper Founded, 1886 JAMES CLIFFORD SAFLEY Entered UvS Subscription price, to be paid in advance, $1.50 yearly Member North Idaho Press Association — THURSDAY, JANUARY 9, 1919 THEODORE ROOSEVELT Theodore Roosevelt is dead. The sage of Sagamore Hill answered the mystic roll call from up yonder, and to which ■every man must yield. Although Colonel Roosevelt had been! failing in health for several years, and had undergone surgical operations, his death was unexpected, and the entire country «■as startled and saddened when word was flashed across the land that the. former president of the United States of America has «■as no more. The memory of Theodore Roosevelt will ever be preserved in written American history. He has been described by some the greatest American." Whether this characterization of colonel will in time be generally recognized, remains for the, nture to reveal. Colonel Roosevelt, who was twice president of the United I Mate-, was a man of great personal magnetism, fie was a Iwognized leader, first in the Republican ranks of the nation, I aid afterward was a leader of his own individual party, the progressive, which had a following so tremendous that in 1912 . u is ' t disrupted the Republican party and permitted the election I if Woodrow \\ ilson to the presidency of the United States. No I nan save Roosevelt could have so shattered a political party In the United States, and his vast following in all parts of the land was due primarily to.the colonel's magnetic personality. I 'his quality again was fully revealed when the colonel sought, II the time America entered the late war, to organize a regi I lient of volunteers for service overseas. His plan was stemmed I iv the present administration. I Colonel Roosevelt's accession to the office of president was I inrely a matter of luck. He became, president in 1901 when as lice-president of the United States he succeeded in office the lartyred McKinley. Theodore Roosevelt was the youngest resident of the United States. I le was scarcely 43 years of age hen he took office. ■ Theodore Roosevelt was a man splendidly equipped for the Bresideney, and soon he developed into a leader commanding ■odd-wide attention. A man of amazing vitality and courage, l w were his ambitious during his terms of public office that 1ère not realized. Acquisition by the United States of pro-!* lerty rights for construction of the Panama canal was accora llished under Roosevelt's administration, and the colonel be-!* lame famous for causing the prosecution of trusts, the regula lon of railroads, and betterment of conditions for the working pah. His two administrations may truly he described as strenuous." a word the colonel so "delighted" in using. Besides being a capable executive and statesman and a aderof men, Colonel Roosevelt was noted as a traveler, author, Idier and rancher. Theodore Roosevelt's title of colonel was acquired during ie Spamsh-American war when he was colonel of a cavalry I îgiment of < istinguished service in Cuba. Colonel Roosevelt, during his presidency, was immensely {jopnlar with the people of the. United States. The zenith of 'his popularity probably was reached when he retired from the P Hdency in 1909. In 1912, when he was the Progressive can didate for president, there was again a nation-wide outbreak of enthusiasm for the colonel, but with the defeat of the Pro cessives his stock rapidly dropped and a further decline came ■ithin the last year because of his scathing criticism of the ■ ilson administration's conduct of the war. Yet no one can ■>ubt the sincerity of Roosevelt in his criticisms. I Colonel Roosevelt has been a national figure for more than ■enty years and, while as a man he has had shortcomings, as hive all, his good deeds far overbalance his lack of judgment at wrtain times, and his name will ever be cherished by the Ameri I n people. at the head of which he rendered < i rough riders, y y WELCOMING SOLDIERS The reception given William Francisco, a returned soldier, 1 Riggins, the other day, is entirely in keeping with the wel me that should be extended to soldiers and sailors who have •De their part in the war and who have returned to their •mes. It occurs that the Riggins people have outdone those of a Dgeville in the extent of their greetings to the soldiers who hack. The apathy on tending more than ane. it is believed, purely to neglect on the part of any one rsons or group of persons to promote any" community welcom the part of Grangeville. folk in handshakes and smiles to the soldiers mere Though the soldiers are coming home one h\ r one, the com mity should not, because the arrivals are scattering, fail to Pally recognize the boys for the service they have rendered ■•r country. Some plan should be devised that will show the ^Drs and sailors who come home that the home folk really a ppreciated what they' have done. ve STATEHOUSE CHANGES Monday saw the inauguration of a new administration in; ; state of Idaho—that of D. W. Davis. The Alexander ad nis tration on that dav retired. The Democratic government toe state gave way" to the Republicans, and with few excep ns ehanges were made in all state offices. j closes Alexander has been governor of Idaho for fonri lfs> He served two administrations, and his terms ot office; •f he regarded as a success. 0n, t administration no d.oubt was stronger than the first,' äie flip genuine flaws that can he picked in his conduct ofj state's affairs. "Wliile Governor Alexander's! that Governor Alexander made. True it was ipre-election promises that were never fulfilled, but failure j make all deliveries promised for the future has not heretofore I been an unwritten fact. From Governor Davis and his associates is expected a period of construction in Idaho and it is sincerely hoped during ini" 1 .?. ensuing two years development and growth of the state i "'*11 be. rapid. JONES MAKES HIT IN BOISE Seth D. Jones, one of Idaho county's representatives in ♦ he state legislature, made a decided hit immediately he arrived in Boise to attend the legislative session. The Boise States man likens Mr. Jones to William H. Taft, ex-president of the United States, when it says: Taftsque to the last degree in the matters of bulk, curves and contours is Seth D. Jones of Whitebird an Idaho county representative, who arrived in Boise Fri- * day. Mr. Jones is known in northern Idaho as the "largest cowboy in the world." Accurate scales place his avoirdupois at 365 pounds. Serving his first tenu as a legislator, the gritful stockman promises to prove one of the unique figures of the coming session. j ■ . . , ... „ , , T , , ^j mu yj r y The voters of Idaho county could have sent to the legislature SALMON RIVER AND NEWPORT NEWS * Elsewhere in this issue of the Free Press is printed a let ter from a soldier, formerly from the Salmon river. He. is at Newport News, Va., and in his letter recites that he always thought the Salmon river section "was a tough little country," but "Newport News is so much tougher than old Salmon that the river wouldn't be in it at all. It had not occurred to the » » Free Press that the Salmon river country bore such an unsavory reputation and it is exceedingly fortunate for our soldier friend that he has seen Newport News, for now he can return to the Salmon river and feel that after all "there's no place like home. > » The Oregon state legislature, scheduled to meet January 13, may not convene, because of seriousness of tflie influenza epidemic in Oregon. It is felt that j:he public health may be menaced by the gathering of the lawmakers. And many a time the public would he spared needless suffering were legislative sessions abandoned. * 1 I Kamiah Marble & Granite Works | Manufacturer and Dealer in Monumental and Cemetery Work * KAMIAH ÜRANITE - BEST OF MACHINERY t ❖ Also Importer of All Fpreign !
