ROOSEVELT'S "BEST CITIZEN"
Jacob A. Riis, the New York settle
ment worker, is touring the Pacific
Coast, delivering lectures on the slums
of the American metropolis. This re
calls that President Roosevelt has call
ed Riis "the best citizen o( the United
States," and surely any man that the
president of the United States has call
ed "the best citizen" of his country is
worth following. Those who have
looked into the life of this man admit
Mr. Roosevelt has much upon which to
base his estimate.
?Ucob A Kiis is a newspaper man and
his experience as a reporter shaped his
future life. Greatahicgs were predicted
for him as a boy in his native Denmark.
He came to this country when just out
of college with an unquenchable tire
burning in his breast. He was ambi
tious and sought an avenue through j
which to give expression to himself, i
His firs: wor? wj> as a re porter on the
New York Sun and he was given an as
signment as a police reporter. The con
ditions that nnfoidej themseives to his
imaginative and >ympathetic mind, a$
he became acquainted with the darker I
side of life, developed his kindly and j
gentle nature until his great love fori
humanity overwhelmed ambition fori
fame and glory. He remained for many'
years as police re;>orler, persi-tently
declining nromotion to editorial posi
tions with their more remunerative
?alarie>. During all this time he de
voted a'! his ^urphis time and energies
to making happier those whose lines
had fallen in hard places.
Riis determined that \'ew York's
Kast side was worth saving. He became
convinced that -ill that was required to
make it demonstrate that fact was equal
opportunity w.th the remainder of man
kind. He became possessed of a desire
to secure for it the opportunity. He j
worked much of his theme into his
news stories and peop'.ecame to recog
nize in him a champion of the oppress
ed. Settlement workers found in him
an intelligent and sympathetic ally.
The rich entrusted him wiih funds.
Gradually he became powerful, always
fiffhting a good fight with a "Square
Deal"' for a sword. No movement 'or
genuine reform h is ever lacked his aid.
He was a valued help to the Roosevelt
police commission of the last decade.
Fo* years he battled, without acrimony
or malice, but with all his migot
against Tammany's methods of dealing
with New York's poor. Yet, he was
quick to catch :;.e spirit />f the move
ment for reform ia , Tammany, and'
strange as it mi^ht seem in the face of
what has bt-come the general concep
tion of New York atfairs. in recent
years he ha> worked with that
organ. 'at. on more often than againist
it.
Much as he ha* accomplished the
career of this bane whom the presi
dent ha> i-all?d our best citizen has but
just beguc. He is still a younj man,
as we measure age aid the fire in his
brea.-t remains unquenched. Oolv has
environment caused it to .burn for hu
manity rather than for self. Gently
and kindly, but forcefully aDd effective
ly he is living for others and setting an
inspiring example to hit fellow nien.

THE GREATEST FRENCHMAN
In France the.v have just, completed
j an election to determine who was the
greatest man of their country to reach
the climax of his career in the last
century, 'l'he election was conducted
by the newspavers, and that it was
representative of French sentiment
is testified to by the fact that more than
15,000.000 votes wr re cas. .
It will probably astonish the average
American to know that the vote
showed the great Napoleon Bonaparte
to be only a fourth choice in the race. |
He was not evenfirst among tde state j
builders, having to take rank be- j
neath Leon Gambetta, the stat -men
who guided the footsteps of th ? iv ibiic
during the days of its infau y.
Accordiug to the verdict of thj
French, the greatest Frenchman ?! the
last century was Louis Pasteur, the'
chemist and pathologist, only one of
whose many gif-.s to thf> world was a
treatment for hydrophobia. V ictor
Kugo. tbe author. w:l> given second
place. Leon Cambetta was third in th
contest and the lirst Napoleon fourth
Other favorites in the order nam-.d ;
were: M. Thiers, the first president of:
the Republic; Lazarre Carnot, Napo- ;
leon s grea'. wtr minister: M. WaUeck
Rousseau, the statesman who inaugu
rated the movement for the separation
of church and state, and M. < ur:>\ the
chemist who dicovered radium.
