DEAN JACKSON TELLS OF LIFE AND CHARACTER OF EX-PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT (Continued from Page One) that he iindoubtedly would have been impeached had not the Spanish-Ameri can war come along. Dean Jackson then told about his re signing his position, and his getting the commission to form a company which resulted in the Rough Riders. The speak er described the long ride from San Antonio to Tampa, how word was sent ahead to each town, and how everybody in the towns turned out to welcome them; how that when he reached Tampa he went down to the wharf and picked out the best ship, which happened not to be intended for him, and ordered his troops aboard and stayed. The historian told about Roosevelt’s election to the Vice-Presidency when he went back to New York. “Roosevelt went to all the hotels where the delega tions were and emphatically said to every man he saw, ‘Don’t you vote for me. I don’t want to be Vice-President. What ever you do, don’t vote for me.’ It turn ed out that every vote cast except his own was for Roosevelt. We will never know whether it was a political scheme or whether Roosevelt didn’t want the election,” said Mr. Jackson, going on with the events as they happened. Pie told of Roosevelt’s election, of the death of McKinley and his becoming President. Here Dean Jackson gave a very realis tic character sketch of Roosevelt, ex plaining in detail the different phases of his character. He gave three illustra tions of Roosevelt’s fortitude: one, his keeping the political appointment which had been planned before he was knocked 40 feet when a street car hit his car riage on the way to the appointment— that is, until he was forced to give up on account of an abscess from a bruise; another, his speaking for an hour and ten minutes after he had been shot in the breast and the wound had been dressed but the bullet left; still another, when he insisted that the members of an expeditionary party in South America go on when he was ill and save themselves from the surrounding dangers and leave him in his critical condition to die. The party refused to go and he passed the crisis and got well. P’he Dean gave instances of Roose velt’s courage. One of them was his going to see the man on the neighboring ranch who had threatened to kill him at sight, his saying “Here I am,’’ and the excuse of the other, “Well, there must be some mistake.” Another evi dence which Mr. Jackson gave was his threat as President to take over all the coal mines of America and the compro mise which resulted. “He was as much at home with Bill Dow and Bill Taft as he was with Bill Hohenzollern, and he was at home with all three,” said the Dean with reference to his personality. With reference to his versatility, Mr. Jackson said, “He is the most versatile President of any we have had except Thomas Jefferson. In telling of his many abilities he said that he was a writer of books, an editor, and an ath lete. He told of Roosevelt’s ability in boxing, having boxed with nearly all the prominent boxers. He related that Tom my Gibbons knocked out his left eye HIGH LIFE Page Five about eight years before the President’s death. He spoke of Roosevelt’s taking some French ambassadors on a 15 or 20- mile afternoon stroll and making them swim across Rock Creek. The Dean said his chief value as a statesman was in arousing the Ameri can people to their civic responsibility. He described him as a statesman with whom none could be unenthusiastic, al though many could disagree, an active if an unwise statesman. Mr. Jackson attributed the bitterness with which Roosevelt attacked President M''ilson to the bitterness caused by his son’s deatli. “He passed out quietly in 1919. He was a remarkable man. I am sure we shall not see his like again,” was the speaker’s final comment.
