The Roosevelt Memorial Services
held at • Eagle Hall yesterday under
the auspices of the Nome Council of
Defense, attracted a large attend
ance including the detachment of
troops at Ft. Davis and the bulk of
the townspeople. The eulogistic
program of addresses arranged by
the committee of the Defense Coun
cil was excellently rendered and cov
ered practically every phase of the
life and activities of the great
statesman and patriot Thos. Mc
Cann spoke on Roosevelt's early life
and was followed by Attorney Fred
Harrison with a scholarly address on
his qualities as a statesman. Mr.
Harrison handled his subject well
and showed by various illustrations
Roosevelt's many statesmanlike
qualities. A {patriotic demonstrat
ion by four small boys of the Nome
Public School followed Mr. Harri
son’s address and attracted much ap
plause as well as some amusement
owing to the indecision of some of
the little chaps regarding their pro
cedure. Mayor <« J. Lomen discus
sed Roosevelt as .1 warrior and sold
ier and paid marked tribute to his
during Ills connection with public af
fairs. Judge Lomen told many interest
ing anecdotes showing the remarkable
Judge Lomen told many interesting
anedotes showing the remarkable
qualities of decision possessed by the
deceased and pointed out that his
martial qualities were largely instru
mental In. bringing about the famous
victory of Dewey at Manilla and the
later American victories in Cuba, in
which he personally took part.
Following Judge Lomen. Miss Ed
ith Olson, rendered two vocal selec
tions which evoked the spontaneous
applause of the entire assemblage
and also demonstrated that the
young lady is a songstress of litre
ability and possesses an excellently
trained voice. Following the appear-j
ance of Miss Olson, Judge O. D. j
Cochran discussed Roosevelt as a
citizen in his costumary scholarly
manner and declared that every act of
his life was demonstrative of the
highest order of American citizen
ship and patriotic regard for his
country. At the conclusion of Mr.
t ocnrans address Co. C. doth. Unit
ed States Infantry sang the martial
strains of the Star Spangled Banner
in chorus and were loudly applauded
Itev. Chas. Shank was introduced
and discussed Roosevelt ns a moral
ist and pointed out that there has
probably never been an American
president who exerted a greater in
fluence on the moral life of his coun
trymen than Roosevelt. Rev. Shank
recited many anecdotes showing the
force and strength of the Roosevclt
ian character and declared in con
clusion the opinion that he was en
titled to rank with Washington and
other of the greatest Americans and
that during his lifetime he like the
immortal Washington himself, ranked
during bis lifetime, a-5 "First in peace,
fi:>l in war, ard first in the i t: rts
of Ins countrymen."
At the conclusion of Dr. Shank’s
address, the chairman, Judge Holz
heimer, called upon Capt Cummings,
the visiting St. Michael official, who
was in the audience,. Capt. Cum
mings responded and spoke briefly
regarding his pleasure at being able
to visit the city and also expressed
a desire to assist in bringing about
closer social relations between the
military forces and the civilian pop
ulation and announced the intention
of promoting several dances and oth
er social functions during the period
of his stay.
Following the retirement of Capt.
Cummings, the audience sang “Am
erica” and the meeting closed with
the sounding of the sweetly mourn
ful strains of "Taps" by buglers jfrom
Ft. Davis.
Rev. R. A. Ruppert, who was
scheduled to address the audience on
the topic of Roosevelt as a writer
and scholar, did not appear, owing to
being detained at the Kruzgamapa
Hot Springs by illness.
