the death of Theoda orheandoo sevelt for 1 sustains some loss He was in truth a leader of the people the interpreter of their visions of larger and better things a crusader whose inspired purpose was the betterment of social industrial and political conditions striving so that life might mean more and yield more to the average man and woman The istory of his life is a record of service in devotion to realizable ideals It was inevitable that such a man should incur countless enmities and be traduced in respect of his motives his purposes and his character That is the price all men must pay who like him give themselves to the advancement of humanity and fight to protect the masses from exploitation by private interests seeking special privilege Their motives are misrepresented their purposes are distorted and their characters persistently assailed so that in time even those whom they unselfishly seek to serve find judgment bewildered by cumulative slander They who serve autocracy are by autocracy rewarded in accordance with the measure of their service they who serve plutocracy 1 receive from plutocracy their share of the spoils wrung from the common heritage of the disinherited people while they who serve democracy must sometimes struggle even against democracy itself for the privilege of serving But through it all runs the ascending curve of human progress Steadily rises the level of human happiness They who would serve are crucified but their deeds live creatively after them Great leaders come and go and in the little hour between their coming and their going spend their labor and themselves are spent "For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday seeing that is past is as a watch in the night" In the multiplications of these years progress takes its way The world becomes a better world human life increasingly redeems in human experience the possibilities it contains society becomes better ordered to its purposes government more and more becomes the instrument of human happiness and we draw nearer to the golden epoch of civilization It was in such service Roosevelt labored with all his strength which was great To it he gave his crusading spirit in practical wisdom for the ideals he would have transformed into realities were such as the temper of the age and the development of the race made practically possible Now spent in the long fight that yielded many victories and some defeats he that new so little rest is in eternal rest That indefatigable brain busies itself no longer with affairs That restless energy is stilled Life is at an end And I am the resurrection and the life saith the Lord he that 1 believeth in me though he were dead yet shall he live and whosever liveth and believeth in me shall never die PAUL SCOTT MOWRER Elie Nolo Can to Los A0161111 Evening (wait aot Chi NO Daily News By Expiate Leased Win PARIS Jan 3 (Delayed)---The American peace delegates intend ta make an announcement concerning the revictnalment of Eastern Europe I am not aware of what the text of Ithis announcement will be but I am able to say that keen anxiety is felt over the present situation The American Government realized long ago the necessity of converting Germany into a bulwark 'against Bolshevism which it is expected will die of itself if it can be dammed back long enough ITo this end President Wilson de' dared that the inhabitants of the 'enemy countries must be fed 1 Whether it is due to the Allies' willful obstruction or rather as BOMO I say to faulty administration on the part of the food dictator Hoover the fact remains that eight weeks have elapsed since the armistice and absolutely nothing has been done The result Is just what the American Government foresaw Bolshevism is spreading rapidly The Baltic states tkrainia Poland and even Germany are more or less affected Race wars and class wars are being waged at the same time I believe that the American delegates do not fear Bolshevism in thrifty well-disciplined German provided famine can be averted and the economic crisis alleviated but if events are allowed to take their own much longer anything may I happen I The Allies may be too late and the red flag may be floating over hale I the continent Ese loots Dispatch to destilog By Assoolated Pre IN Day Wire SACRAMENTO Cal Jan 'Henry Wright of South Pasadena 'was elected Speaker of

prevailed at the Peace Conference The Indians decided to set aside their tribal customs Disputes the Indians decided in the future will be settled by the white man's law instead of by hostilities No Indian now living can remember the time when the Sitkas and Wrangells were at peace There has been bad blood between them for years The last futile attempt to make peace took place in the early '80s when Jack Yuman father of one of the delegates at the last meeting led his tribe of Sitit'as to Wrangell to make peace A war cry greeted their arrival and nearly all the visitors were massacred by the Wren gells Chief Moven was among the Sitkas killed Old men of the tribes it is said refused to let the hostility die and endeavored to keep alive the Gres of hatred With the passing of many of the old tribesmen however the younger men imbued with the ideas of modern civilizations taught them in the Government schools decided they wanted peace In 1917 Chief Shake of the Wrangells opened peace negotiations with Jack Yequan of the Sitkas He urged the sending of peace delegates to Wrangell where he pro posed the leaders of the two clans should heal the old wounds So at the close of the fishing season a delegation of Siticas went to Wrangell and after a week of "Powwows" decided to let bygones be bygones and to abolish the old customs Chief Shalts the father of the peace move died before the meeting was held WHEN the funeral serv- ices over the body of Edwin Earl began at 2 o'clock in the Procathedral work stopped for 5 minutes in all the departments of the Evening Express At that hour ordinarily the activities of an afternoon newspaper reach their peak The organized energies of several hundred employes trained to intense continuous endeavor under the exacting requirements of an afternoon newspaper printing editions in quick succession instantly were suspended The clatter of the linotypes in the composing room abruptly ceased The roar of the great presses subsided into silence In the business office counting room circulation and reportorial department the work of the current moment halted The men and women of the Evening Express thus paid their last tribute to the memory of their chief In the knowledge that Edwin Earl would so have ordered it the Evening Express has printed no phrase of eulogy of its own no word of praise as from itself of its dead captain What might contribute to an accurate public appreciation of his character has been evidentially set forth and the valued estimates formed by others of the worth of his services have been printed The Evening Express has been well content to record their judgments but it has not appeared seemly for it to voice its own It is within the proprieties however for the men and women associated with Mr Earl in the publication of the Evening Express to claim space for a declaration of their own sense of loss This 5 minutes' cessation of activity was something more than a formal ceremony We who knew the man mourn his passing We have lost a friend whose active friendship was revealed in countless kindnesses We knew how clean was his purpose of public service how unselfish were the motives that influenced his cause of action how bravely humanitarian and generously philanthropic were his conceptions of his duty toward this City this State and this these were qualities in which he stood in equal relation to all his fellow citizens It is the man WE friend whose death WE mourn it is a heart wrench now at last to say goodby Butte I Pledges Fealty to Bolshevism Dispatch to Evening (mole By

the Los Angeles delegation to the Legislature longer to take orders from a small group of antiadministration politicians has clarified the Assembly situation and the election of Henry Wright of South Pasadena as speaker took place today It also means that Governor Stephens will have the united support of the members from his home county the largest in the State Credit for bringing about this sudden change of front is largely due to Alexander Fleming chairman of the Assembly delegation from Los Angeles It was a difficult task that Mr Fleming set himeelf to accomplish for the control that Leo Yotmgworth assumed to exercise over nine or ten 'members in his opposition to the administration apparently had these Imembers together in a lineup that could not be broken Toungworth himself came to Sacramento to hold the linetv together only to find at the last moment beetrre the convening of the Legislature that his plans to inject a disturbing element into the situation have gone swry and that he is a self-constituted leader without a following Fleming broke Youngworthte hold twhen he proved by the records that the opposition members have been imisied and deceived both in regard to Governor Stephens and Assembly-man Wright He convinced them that the ecoatomic policies of the Governor are Ireally identical with those for which these members themselves stand and that it is only by united action that these policies can be carried into affect Wright's Record Misrep ted With regard to Wright it was -shown that he had been misrepresented as to his record on certain matters in the Legislature in such a way as to give rise to suspicion that the misrepresentation had been intentiontu As a result of this conference the entire delegation deccled last night to wait upon the Governor
