THEODORE ROOSEVELT. The death of former President Roosevelt, which occurred this morning at his home at Oyster Bay, Long Island, re- moves from the stage of action not only of the foremost citizens Of the Unite States, but a character unique, in many respects, among the prominent men of his time. As an author, naturalisf, public official and statesman, he attained a Ksi turn of popularity and distinction rarely attained by any American statesman. is safe to say that at one point in his ca 'reer, during his term of office as presi dent and shortly thereafter, he was more widely known and in greater favar with the people of the nation than any politi eal character in the history of the na tion. He possessed many of the charac teristics that make for greatness.

Even his bitterest political opponents gladly acknowledged his many admirable quali ties. Colonel Roosevelt was regarded by many people as the logical candidate for the Republican nomination for president in 1930, and it is stated that he was pre paring a statement announcing that he would not be in the race. There is tinge of sadness in the fact that the I ops of his son Quentin, who was killed in France, and the failure to realize his own hopes of taking some part in the great war, probably tended to hasten his end A $100,000 Y. M. C.

A. FOR GASTONIA In the opinion of The Gazette no more important movement has been inaugurat ed in Gastonia in years than the one re eently set on foot looking to the estab liahment of a modern T. M. ('. A.

That we have rocked along so many years without one is not the fault of any man men; rather it was due, we are con trained to believe, to just the condition described by Mr. W. T. Rankin is an ad dress Friday night when he said that we had been too busy building cotton mills and making money. We have come to the point at last, however, when the busi uess men of the city at least realize the vital importance of such an institution to our town and, now that the movement has been started, we confidently expect to see it carried to a successful conclusion with in the year.

It is not probable that there is another town in the State so favorably fixed for undertaking such a project as Gastonia. The town has a nominal Y. M. C. inactive for the post sixteen or eighteen years but possessing one of the finest corner properties in the business part of the city.

It is free from debt and is worthy according to the estimates of conservative business men, at least From the proceeds of quarters which they rent the trustees of this property are carrying $10,000 worth of building and loan stock and contribute a considerable sum each year to the support of the Gastonia Public Library, which institution is also housed free of rent in the Y. M. C. A. building.

With sur-h a ina'erial advantage to start with it should lie an easy matter to raise a sum sufficient to bring the total up to Jion.ono and that would build and equip a Y. M. A. second perhaps to only one or two in N'orth Carolina in point of size. There are many hundreds i young men in Gastonia who ned tlie Y.

M. C. A. and there are hundreds more of hoys who will soon reach the age where they, too, will need it. So large is the number, in fact, that it does not seem improbable that a Y.

M. C. A. would be self sustaining almost from the first. During the past two years more than a thousand young men have gone from this First National Ban! Gastonia, N.

C. the lack of educational opportunities which so many have suffered. To recount all of the advantages of a Y. M. C.

A. would require a longer arti cle than space admits of today. Suffice it to say that there is no longer any doubt that Gaatonia needs one and we are going to have it The Greensboro News is to be congrat ulated upon the splendid financial edi tion which it issued January 1st This has come to be an annual event with The News and the character of this publica tioa is such that it commands the respect and confidence of the business men of the State. In addition to carrying articl by men of note on the nation 's financi al condition during the past year and the prosjHHts for the coming year, this issue presents special articles from every com munity of importance in the State alon the same line. Throughout all of these special articles there rings the note of op timism.

According to the bankers an other business men of the State and ti; tion the prospects for the future in thi country are exceedingly bright. Last week The Charlotte Observer ii sued a special edition of 80 pages dealin with the progress and prosperity of the cotton mills of the State. It was pro fusclv illustrated with cuts of mills, em ployees, mill homes, and is Sltogetl er a most interesting and valuable pub! ration. Its issuance involved' au enor inous amount of painstaking labor an the publishers are to be congratulated on this evidence of their enterprise.

When calomel comes into contact with soar bile it crashes into idealising cramping and nausea. If you feel bilious, headachy, constipated and all knocked out, just go to your druggist and get a bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone for a few cents which is a harmless vegetable substitute for dangerous calomel.
