LOST OPPORTUNITIES IN JOURNALISM (Continued from Page 6)
its rivals in the former centuries, and certainly the collapse of John Law’s Mississippi Bubble during• the Regency period in France was a remarkable story of the financial type.
The accessions of monarchs to their thrones were common-place in the preceding• centuries, but there were several coronations, out of the ordinary. That of Napoleon as Emperor should have made a newspaper word picture, while that of Charlemagne was only second in its news value.
These citations given above are merely by way of illustration. There are so many which might be mentioned that the list of possibilities lost would run into the thousands.
But there were no newspapers in those old days and consequently the best that can be done is to speculate on what might have been.
co, and the adventures of Marco Polo, were likewise well worth the covering.
Great catastrophes were as interesting in the olden times as they are to-day. Certainly the destruction of Pompeii and Herculaneum and the Lisbon earthquakes were sensations of their respective period. The conflagration at Rome, when imperial Nero played on his lyre, was a fire story without a peer in any journalism, while the newspaper account of the flames which laid London waste during the time of Charles II. would be well worth the perusal. The recent “flu” epidemic, with its accompany scare, would easily indicate what newspapers could have done with the Black Plague in its sweep through Europe.
Financial editors would also have had their inning in those olden days. Even Black Friday had
remained a mystery had there been some modern reporters with the sleuth instinct to run the story down.
The tales of William Tell shooting the apple from the head of his son; of the death of Arnold von Winkelried under the bayonets of his foes, and of the sinking of the White Ship with the drowning of the heir of Henry I. of England, were other great news stories which would hold good in any age.
Even to-day, the various efforts to conquer the air, to locate the poles, or in any way discover something new find ample space in the papers. The past was even more prolific. Any first-class news syndicate would undoubtedly have had a staff correspondent and a photographer traveling with Columbus upon his several voyages, while the other great discoveries, the conquests of Peru and Mexi-

WHY YOUNG MEN LOVED THEODORE ROOSEVELT (Continued from Page 4)
periods when, as Bill Sewall said, “I used to go for him bow-legged.” “I remember,” says Bill Sewall, “I took him out on the prairie one day and I said to him, ‘You ought to go back to politics, you would be a good reformer, you ought to start and reform something.’ ” Those men saw in T. R. a MAN, and they loved him as men who love a good fighter and a tender friend, have always loved him and always found inspiration in him.
T. R. was true; he was loyal; he was square. He was the most delightful of companions; the most sympathetic of friends. He had_ a gorgeous sense of humor that was never long in abeyance. He loved deeply when he loved; he hated intensely when he hated. He stood for the wholesome right things which every American feels in his heart that he wants to stand for and that he wants his leaders to stand for—courage, physical hardihood, open, honest and straightforward dealing, high principles and steadfast adherence to those principles. He made old men to see visions and young men to dream dreams. And all that is why we men of the younger generation loved T. R.
men glow as they said, as old Joe Murray said to me, “I believe that nineteen out of twenty men who have worked with Mr. Roosevelt are better men because of it.” You get what T. R. was, in hearing people like Bill Sewall and Sylvane Ferris and Joe Ferris and Bill Merrifield talk about their experiences out at Elkhorn Ranch, how he was boss there because he paid the bills and had the responsibility; but otherwise was absolutely “one of the boys.” He fed the pigs and did it well, and he blacked everybody’s boots one rainy day and did it so badly that he was unpopular for days because it came off on the furniture. But when he went East he always came back with an armful of toys for the “Bad Land’s” babies, as they were called, the two babies that were born there on the ranch.
It was a golden age out there not only for the men like Sewall and Dow and Merrifield and Mr. Ferris, but it was a golden age for Mr. Roosevelt, a time when after sorrow and disappointments he found himself, a time when he built himself into the great fighting man, T. R., we knew and loved. He was not the indomitable spirit then that he was in his later life. He had his periods of depression,
tears from his eyes and he said—he had just been struggling with his letters—“Do you think if I made my ‘O’s’ as round as I can, do you think that he would like that ?” And his mother told him that she thought he would like that better than a monument.
We loved him because he was so human. We loved him because he loved us. He loved the common man with absolute sincerity. There was in his love for Tom, Dick and Harry, of whatever race of creed or position in life, no shadow of political expediency; and I think that from no one have I learned more about the essential T. R. than I have from men like Bill Sewall up in Maine, and men like Otto Raphael, the East Side Jew, whom he took in to the Police Department and who, you may remember, was practically the only outsider who was admitted to the house the day of the funeral; men like Captain Edward Bourke, a fighting Irishman in the Police Department, men like Joe Murray, who first led Mr. Roosevelt into the paths of politics; men like Sylvane Ferris who was his ranch partner in Dakota. I have heard those men talk about him and I have seen the eyes of those
