GRATUITOUS ADVICE
Worrying is one of the most useless things we do. Worry never fit
ted one for either today’s or tomorrow’s tasks Anxious eyes do nor cannot
.vee as clearly is those behind which no worry lurks. Apprehension is the
basis of worry and apprehension is fear. Fear is weakening and he who
allows his worries to overcome him is surely bound to be weakened. The
longer we dread what is before us. the less strength we have for meeting it.
Brooding over failures wil not help us in the slightest degree to succeed
tomorrow. Failures have their lessons, to he sure, lessons which we can ill
afford to ignore, but examining a mistake to find the best way to avoid it in
the future, is an entirely different thing from using it as an instrument of
self torture. The healthful way. the right way, is to forget the things which
are behind and turn our thoughts to the future.
The best way or getting ready for tomorrow is to do today's labors
faithfully and cheerfully. One hour of sunny service is worth more in the
way of preparation than all the gloomy self examination and anxious look
ing forward that can be crowded into a year.
THE ROOSEVELT MEMORIAL
The proposal to honor the memory of Theodore Roosevelt by a nation
wide demonstration in the form of a memorial sendee is ono that should
meet the approbation of every true American, regardless of their political
leanings or affiliations.
Probably no American who ever lived has exerted a greater influence
on tin* thoughts and lives of his compatriots than Roosevelt. Endowed with
the capacity for seeing things as they are and possessing the requisite cour
age to defy tradition and convention whenever they conflicted with his views
ct light, regardless of the consequences to himself, he was, throughout the
greater part of his career, in the fore-rank of the leaders of American thought
and opinion.
Indeed, it has been said with much truth 'that in clarity of understanding
and breadth of vision, he was several years in advance of the foremost of his
countrymen. Cortes it is that he was at all times a pioneer in those fields
of thought and endeavor which may be considered essentially America^.
The proof of it is clearly provided by the fact that he was usually to beT
found at or near the center of every great national controversy arising In
recent years.
That he made frequent mistakes and was often In error in his views
and policies is admitted. But a perusal of his acta and words will disclose
that such faults as he betrayed were chargeable more to his refusal to be
bound by the trammels of convention than to misconceptions Of thought or
errors of judgement. The man who refuses to follow beaten paths is very
likely to mistake his way in the unbroken wilderness.
America has had greater statesmen than Roosevelt but, without ex
ception, she has never had a greater American in thought and word and deed
than he whose honored course has reached Its earthly end. Nor Washington
nor Ivincoln or others of the nation's great whose names are rubric writ on the
pages‘of our national history was filled with a greater zeal for the honor of
the nation or the welfare of its people. As a national champion, Roosevelt can
be classed only with the revered Washington, to whom devotion to the Infant
land of liberty was the strongest Impulse of life.
We believe it no vain eulogy to say that Roosevelt, both by word and
deed, proved that he possessed a spirit of patriotism and love of country hard
ly excelled by that displayed by the venerated founders of the nation In laying
their all on the altar of her liberties.
Regardless of all faults, his noble Americanism, entitles him to the
honor and regard of his countrymen, to whom he provided an example of the
best attributes to be found in the American race. It Is, therefore, a ftytlng
duty and obligation that the nation lay aside for a time its customary pursuits
and devote itself to paying tribute to one who was unquestionably entitled to
he numbered among its greatest son’s.
Although the climatic rigors of the local situation present many dif
ficult obstacles to a proper observance of the day set aside for the Roosevelt
memorial, Nome should not be delinquent in doing everything possible to show
the respect of the community for one who was rightfully entitled to the
homage of his countrymen by reason of his deeds of service and the giving
of his best attributes for the benefit of his fellow citizens
