There are many kinds of success in life worth having. It is exceed- ingly interesting and attractive to be a successful business man, or railway man, or farmer, or a successful lawyer or doctor, or a writer, or a President, or a ranch- man, or the colonel of a fighting regiment, or to kill grizzly bears and lions.

I esteem this reproach a high compliment to the Commission, for it is an admission that the Commission has rigidly done its duty as required by law without regard to politics or religion and Without regard to color. As President, he but continued his square dealing, in a higher office. His fondest recollection of White House days was a banquet given to his Western friendsj , THE DEFENDER OF RIGHT mmmix: OOSICVELT: I have done all I could to bring on the war because it is a just war, and the sooner We meet it the better.
