SATURDAY, MARCH 29, 1919 LAST THOTS OF | COL. ROOSEVELT FOR lS PARTY Desired Republicans to Close Ranks and Give Attention to Domestic Issues; Memoran- dum Is Reproduced. Theodore Roosevelt's last thoughts were of the great domestic issues of his country, issues whose determina- tion will decide the weal or woe of the next generation, He saw in a united Republican party, just given a vote of confidence and a commission to formu- late and carry into action policies of “econstruction, the guarantee of thé prompt recognition and successful handling of these domestic problems. Tangible evidence of this is a memo- randun, the last penciled thoughts of the late President. To Colonel George Harvey and the North American Re- Facsimile of Last Memorandum of Colonel Roosevelt, Penciled a Few Hours Before He Died. view the country and the Republican party are indebted for the aubtication 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 last penciled notation of Mr. Rouse- velt. He says: “Mr, Roosevelt died the acknowl- edged leader of the great party into which he 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 brilllant 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 filled a volume Mr, Roose- velt's realization of both his respons!i- 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 ach ing complete unity of action in resolving domestic problems before attacking those of wider range soon to be thrust upon 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 fs 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 aspirations was buried with him, and thereby the perfect union which he so ardently desired against all things un- American was attained. ‘hus 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 | Col. Roosevelt died about 4 e'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 {t excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile, * © © and we have room for but one soul loyalty, and that is sevalty to the American people.” Eastern Markets Combed for Hats and Garments to’ Jot THE CASPER DAILY TRIBUNE _ STYLE SHOW AND STYLE WEEK USHERED IN MONDAY LIVE MODELS ON IRIS STAGE, FEATURES PLANNED Be Shown Monday; Merchants to Dress up the Stores with Spring Modes as Sequel.

Accord- ingly, each bit of evidence of better | feeling and understanding on the Part of citizens of the United States is regarded with no little satisfaction. The following, from an editorial in the Asahi, one of the most influential newspapers of the Japanese capital, | is a sample: “According to a report recently re-! ed from Honolulu, a judicial au-! thority in Hawaii openly declared in the course of his explanation re- garding the new American naturaliza- | tion law, that the Japanese subjects | enlisted in the American army should | be legally granted the right to natu-| ralize and become American citizens. The fact is an indication of a great change in the public opinion of Amer- ‘ca, which was formerly antagonistic regarding the naturalization of Jap- anese. “Another sign of pro-Japanese sen- timent in America is the reported proposition to revise the anti-alien land law of California. According to a report from San Francisco, a bill is to be presented shortly before the California legislature regarding the extension of the leases granted! to the Japanese. PAN-AMERICAN HOTEL 10 OPEN NEXT TUESDAY Upper Floors of Mobridge Build- ing Made Up of Buffet Apart- ments and Rooms with Base- ment Cafeteria and Drug Store. The Mobridge building, immediate- ly north of the Oil Exchange building will be completed this week and the owners, C. A. Smith of Mobridge, South Dakota, and F. J. Turner of Fonda, Iowa, will open the new Pan American hotel to the public Tuesday of next week. The basement floor will be occu- pied by a complete and up-to-date cafeteria, where everything that can tempt the palate or satisfy the ap- petite will be served. The first floor will be fitted up as a drug store, and the fixtures and furnishings are among the finest eve: installed in a drug store in the state. The stock will be new and clean! and a registered pharmacist will have charge of the ment. zThe upper floors have been fitted up in buffet apartments furnished ir waxed oak with linen rugs, electric ranges, modern conveniences. And Although the apartments have not yet been opened every one is taken and there is a long waiting list. In ad- dition to the seven apartments there are twenty-three large rooms all fit-| ted and furnished in the most up-tu date style. C. A.

In addition to the siyle show | there will be novel features, dances given by pupils | McGuinn, an entertaininz program | {wi ich should make the event popular |with Casper society. Following the show “Style Weck” | will be in vogue in local stores, where ‘merchants who are behind the move- iment will dress up their establisn- ments and windows in a way that will show to the best advantage the gar- ments they have to offer. Needless to say those who attend | \the show will inspect the stores and| |windows and merchants feel certain| of convincing the public that the best can be obtained in Casper, at |prices which compare favorably with those of larger cities. The whole idea represents not only ja commercial proposition but a civic movement—one that will not oniy {bring about a closer relationship and better feeling between the mer- chants and their patrons, but one that | | will come to be a permanent feature | of the spring season and draw hun-| dreds of people from central Wyom- ing. Casper is rightfully taking its place | as the metropolis of Wyoming, hav-| ing the advantage of being centrally located in addition to the progressive quality of its business population, an: the present movement is one which} j will mean prosperity for all interests. SOLDIER HOMESTEADERS GET GREDIT FOR TIME OPENT WITH THE COLORS The length of service of soldiers, sailors, marines and army nurses may be regarded as residence on a home stead, according to a law passed thru the late congress and aproved by the president, as viewed by Clay Tallman general land commissioner at Wash- | ington. Thus, according to a bulle tin published by Mr. Tallman, a soi dier or sailor who was in the army at the commencement of hostilities with Germany and who served undei Pershing in Mexico would have two years’ credit for military service which he can use in lieu of actual resi- dence on a homestead. Homesteaas of 320 or 640 arces may become the property of a soldier or sailor afte: seven or eight months of actual resi dence on the land. A similar act was in effect after the civil war, the only difference be ing that nurses were excluded under the old law. As a further aid to the dischargen soldier a law passed during the clos- ing hours of congress provides that, if new public land is opened under homestead or stock-raising laws, he |who has seen servive has a right o1 entry upon the land before it is op | ened to the general public. This law | is to be in effect for two years, anu any soldier, sailor or marine who has {served over ninety days and who has | been honorably discharged may take | advantage of the opportunity. ee } | Pl | i nt Contrast. | “Mike.” “Phwat?” “T was just thinkin’.
