ROOSEVELT AS
EXPONENT OF
SQUARE DEAL
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, than
whom there was no truer or greater
American, is the recognized exponent
of "the square deal,” as the following
excerpts from his writings prove:
"Take what I mean when I speak of
the ‘square deal.’ I mean not only
that each man should act fairly ar£l
honestly under the rules of the game
as ft is now played, but I mean alsb
that if the’ rules give improper adva^
tage to some set of people, then let
us change the rules of the game.”
"According to our ability we intend
to safeguard the rights of the mighty;
but We intend no less jealously to safe
guard the rights of the lowly. Our
ideal is equal justice to all; justice
alike for the rich man and the poor
man who do right; and the same stern
justice for the rich man and the poor
man who do wrong.”
"Go back to your homes and vour
daily lives with the resolute purpose
to war for honesty in its deepest and
broadest significance both in our busi
ness and in our politics; not only for
our own sake, not only for the sake
of our children who inherit the land
after us, but for the sake of the peo^,
pies of the world who stand and watch
this great experiment of free democ
racy in the West, so that their'liope
shall not be dead.”
“If one set of our fellow citizens is
degraded, you can be absolutely cer
tain that the degradation will spread
more or less to all of us. This gov
ernment is founded on the theory that
'all men up’ is a safer motto than
‘some men down.’ AVe must make it
“There are certain matters which
should never be treated as party mat
ters; and foremost among these is the
great and vital virtue of honesty. Hon
esty should he treated as a prime
necessity to our success as a nation.
The minute that a question of honesty
against dishonesty is involved, then
we must all act together as Ameri
cans, without the slightest regard to
party affiliations. I do not care who
a thief is; I regard him as a thief
and not as a party man. The first
man to attack a scoundrel in any party
should be the man of that party.”
Flower Garder.s of Holland.
It was only after the fall of Con
stantinople-in 1453 that Holland be
came such a gay land of flowers ns it
now is. Many Dutchmen went to the
East during the years of the great
crusades, and those of them who loved
beautiful things brought seeds with
them. When these were planted in
(he rich soil of Holland such wondrous
flowers appeared as had never before
been seen iti that country. The people
became wildly enthusiastic over the
new colors and scents and foliage
brought to them from the East, and
„ in Holland there sprang up a great
love for gardening.
Orchid Hard to Secure.
Nearly all the orchids found in
Burma can be grown with a little care
and attention in private gardens.
There is one exception, a sweet-smell
fng species called Jazin by the Bur
mese. and which Ismsually brought to
market in Christmas week in Rangoon.
It only seems to flower in the most
malarious and least frequented locali
ties, and at a time of the year which is
the tigers’ mating season, and avhen
they are most dangerous to human be
ings. It is in great demand by Bur
mese and sells for its weight in silver.

SEE VALUE OF MOTOR TRUCK
.._
French Business Men Realize That
Their System of Freight Transpor
tation Is Obsolete.
That the war brought to France an
object lesson in the utility of the
motortruck as a means of freight
transportation appears in plans now
under way to develop a long haul
system. It Is hoped thereby to quicken
the movement of goods ami lessen
the impatience of various business
imprests a with the slowness of rail
vpk&^and waterway traffic. The prac
tfeamlit.v of the motortruck as •
freight carrier was a revelation to
Frenchmen of business who had de
rULuded in normal times on what would
y-Jbejdy an abnormally slow service.
From Havre to Paris by boat means
jfl. journey of at least three
in oh fti s, 'and at the quickest, which
VrCjfliJre^ special arrangement with the
Jgtrwnirtent, takes about four weeks.
Commenting on railroad transporta
tion between Paris and the seaports,
a Paris business man Is reported ns
saying that from Havre one must ex
pect a delay- of one or two months,
from Bordeaux a delay of two or
three months, and that “when goods
foi Paris reach Marseilles they stay
there." The humorous exaggerated
IBifytrates the condition which Is
turning Frenchmen to the hopeful
project of long hauls by motortrucks,
• solution which will probably de
velop because the nation Is already
provided with excellent roads.
