The life of a successful man. a man who has done all I hat nature can ex-pent, of him, is a poem. "Each sentence In the biography of - our late hero. "Teddy," was once a Hermon thai flank deep Into the fioul of every American. Now only two yearn afler his death, we fire forgetting him, so it Deems. Mm, as Shakespeare Bays: " To have done is to hang Tuite out of fashion like a rusty naii in iiionumental mockory." Must. it. be so with our hero? Roosevelt was forward in nature, It is (rue. Or, perhaps, if only seems lo because the deep sincerity of his actions was repulsive lo the politicians of his day. If It was forwardness that he possessed. It never overweighted his modesty and his consideration of others. With most of us, inclination toward such a . characterisl ic as forwardness is at a premium, to be cherished. "Teddy," it is our opinion, was a choice example of Ideal temperament. With the exception that he was hardly 'gentle," Mark Antony's lines over the body of Brutus might be well adapted here. Theodore Roosevelt, Sr., the father of Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., the twenty-sixth president of the United States, was one of the first settlers of Manhattan, He settled (here in 16G4. From Klaes to Theodore every one of the sons have been born in New York City. ' The ex-presldent's ancestors on his father's side were mainly merchants nntl were very successful. His mother, Martha Bullock, belonged to a family as disting!ihed in Georgia as the Roosevolts were in New York, her giandfuther being the first governor of Georgia after the Declaration of Independence was signed. Theodore Roosevelt was born October 27, 1858, in New York City, of a distinguished, aristocratic and wealthy family. He had every advantage in life but good fortune was against llm In one thing and that was the fact that he was seriously handicapped by poor health, due to asthma, this nuisance remaining with him until early manhood. In 1869 the Roosevelts took a trip to Europe which young Roosevelt very little appreciated because he was not old enough but four years later he visited the old world again and profited very greatly by the experience. Young Roosevelt relates but a single incident wherein he was punished by his father and that was when, in a fit of anger young Teddy bit his sister's arm. His father died February 9. 1878. Roosevelt, on account of his health, never attended a public school but was educated largely by private tutors. He graduated from Harvard June 30, 1SS0, at the age of 22 years. While at Harvard he was neither a sport nor a grind, standing fairly well in his studies, being especially interested in natural history which led hira to make his later noted trips. He joined one O. K. club at school which was a political organizatoin which was his first taste of politics. His best college work was r book which he wrote on the war of 1812. While at college he became deeply interested ia a yomuj lady from Boa-ton. In hl enlor yar h took rhetoric under Professor Hill, who asked him to criticize a theme written by an undergraduate who was"over-romantic." Young Roosevelt blushed and then his secret was out, he was married to this girl. Alice Lee, October 27. 18S0, on his 22nd birthday. In 1881 he plunged into politics and was elected to the New York legislature for three succeeding terms. His wife died February 14, 1884. after which he started a ranch on the Little Missouri river and found solace for his great sorrow. He later wrote interesting books on his life In the west which shows his deep appreciation of its beauties. Roosevelt went back to New York City a short time before 1SSS, and ran for mayor on the Republican ticket, but was defeated. He married Edith Hermit Caron In December of that year, one of his childhood sweethearts j in whom he found a wise and helpful companion. j He was exceedingly disappointed over Harrison's failure to appoint him secretar yof state, but he was appointed lo the U. S. civil service commission in 1SS9. In which he did a splendid work. In 1895 Mayor Strong of New- York, appointed him police com missioner In which he also proved sue j 8chool should be allowed to run ram-ceSHful, having first enforced Sunday; pant. In our opinion there can never closing of mercantile establishments in New York. He became assistant secretary of the navy in 1897 but resigned to enter the war with Spain and was commissioned lieutenant colonel of the First Volunteer cavalry. May 8, 1898, which became known as the Rough Riders and consisted mostly of the men whom Roosevelt had known in the west. He won glory in active engagements of the battles of Guasimlars and San Juan Hill. He was elected governor of New York January 2, 1899, was in 1900 elected vice president on the Republican ticket, succeeded McKinley to the presidency, taking oath of office Sep tember 14, 1901, in the Wilcox library. Through his inflence the coal strike of 1902, was settled. He was re-elected president of the United States November 8, 1904, by 366 electoral votes, taking oath of office on the east front of the capitol building. He signed the Russo-Japanese treaty September 5, J905. He talked a great deal about the Panama canal accumulating the lock system for use in the canal and after be too much so-called "pep" in a school. The more there is the better. By having student rallies separated from devotional exercises this "pep" may develop at Weber as it has never done before. Let's talk for It. The other advantage, the concentration of religious feeling, might likewise be realized. As it is now, the religious feeling is "thinned out," being spread over too much time. The only way Weber may develop to a greater extent in both respects is to adopt a weekly program similar to the one suggested and the only way to get such a program in operation fs to talk for it. LOYALTY. Loyalty in Ogden? Hardly! Unless teh teams of Ogden and Weber win every game, the students refuse their support. And why is it? Lack of loalty in the Tiger school was made evident in the recent contest with Box Elder here. The teams had even chances on the pennant. There is no comparison between the ., , , j schools as to size and yet the Ogden serving seven years as president of I ' roosters were tar oumumoerea. i ne the United States he took his famous trip to Africa, March 23, 1909. On his return he was invited to speak at the Guild hall in London, June 1, 1910, and in New York Conservatory two speeches long to be remembered. He broke away rrom the Republican party and was nominated by the Progressive party for president August 7, 4912, but was defeated by W'oodrow Wilson of the Democratic party November 5, 1912. Roosevelt left for his extended South American trip October 14, 1913, from which ho brought much information and many specimens of great value to the study of natural history; he returned in 1914 to New York. He was nominated the second time by the Progressive party June 1, 1916, but withdrew to support Hughes. His intended trip to Jamaica in 1917 was postponed as he believed he was greatly needed in this country for which he did great good during the world war. His death occurred January 6, 1919, and ha was lamented by the natiton as being one of the few truly great men and an all around typical American as we now pay him tribute. UNIVERSITIES. It is generally supposed by the multitudes, we believe, that a university is begun all at once, with new buildings and no reputation. But this supposition is entirely false. We cannot say, "We are going to make a university here. We shall build one, structure to accommodate the Engllsj department numbering 1000 students, one to accommodate the classes in history in which there are 500 students, etc. We shall have a faculty of 100. We shall have a president, a registrar, a dean, etc." Such planning, not to say it has yet been made, is absurd. Nevertheless it is apparently the basis on which all university establishments are considered by the masses. The people say, "You cannot have a college because you haven't the buildings." The judgment in this case is false. Students come first, always. The college must first of all have the assurance of material to work with. It must begin at the bottom of the sairs. adding new courses as step by step Us enrollment increases. It is a known fact that all present colleges did this and are doing It. The Universtiy of Utah is now one of the ten largest in the country. This year 2300 students are enrolled. The students hale from thirty-two states of the union and from thirteen foreign countries. Norway, Greece, Scotland, Denmark, Holland, Japan, . England, Philippine Islands, Armenia, France, Mexico, Hawaii, and Argentina are the countries represented at the university.How was it first established? By the carrying out of a sponatneous decision? Decidedly not. The University of Utah developed from a high school. There are many men who are personally acquainted with its early history. It passed through exactly the same stages as those .that Weber Nor mal college is in now. The university could have bad no bigger opportunities than Weber for Weber is in the center of all Industry of Utah sity is and has been for many years, wholly apparent. Her only hope lies in the Weber Normal college. We see no reason why she could not develop this institution with astonishing rapidity.The first thing for those interested in a uuiverslty for Ogden to do is to boost it by every means possible and Tiger6 lost. Weber turned out farily well to her first league game at Brigham., But because she was defeated she lost all heart. At the contest with Westminster, a small thirty of the Weber rooters were present. This was not a league game, it is true. But when given another chance in the Davis game, Weber fell down' again. The Davis student . association, having only 300 members outclassed in attendance that of Weber having 750! And it was on Weber's field, too! Weber lost. The Purple and White team had a chance in the race for the division pennant before this contest took place but has now lost, this, purely, we believe, through lack of support. ( ' Thus both schools went down to defeat. But such is the just desert of disloyalty. - . oo PEP. Pep is that which carries an athletic team or any earnest worker and puts forth the wings of victory to win the day. Weber, do we fully appreciate that invaluable power or are we lying down on the job? In this paper we have tried to roast everything from the Acorn to the uncompleted gym and by this thing pep only, can we push these much needed issues to a climax and then a completion . Probably these few lines of rhyme can better express the message to Weber students. 1 ep should be manifest everywhere, A s it were on land, sea or in the air. p ep wilt get us a brand new gym, R ushed by that spirit of vigor and vim I n Weber. K een appreciation from the townspeople A lready has pushed the lever. G inger. along with pep, helped bring I n victory by a mighty swing. N ever, will Weber achievements win, (G ranted her tarns are the best of men) B ven if odds are with her on paper R esoundant yells must through the air caper. er or not modern scierunn; usiujaiuis would have made such a blunder. Not long ago a kissing tournament was held in Paris- Some of the most beautiful women of Europe were there to pose as "targets." The excitement of the day. intense and prolonged, was brought to a close by the announcement that Andre Brule, French matinee idol, had emerged victor. When questioned as to the technique of his favorite method of attack. M. Brule set forth the following rules: 1. Station yourself in close proximity to the subject. 2. Out of the corner of your right eye. measure the distance with one swift glance. 3. Then, using your left foot as a pivot, swing suddenly face to face with her, slipping the right arm carelessly about her waist and 4. Implant the kiss firmly In the middle of the mouth. This Brule calls the "surprise kiss." Personally we have not tried this method as yet, but. inasmuch as it has the earmarks of a good one, we expect that in the near future we shall. Other types of kissing are: the cooperative, the forced and, from the standpoint of the hero, the voluntary. Now in the co-operative type the impulse rushes in from both parties. He takes her In his arms and she re- flaxes in complete submission. Then he imparts, solely without resistance, a long and whole hearted kiss deep into her soul. Not for an instant withdrawing, she returns the osculation with Interest. It seldom requires more than five minutes to execute this form of kiss. The so-called "forced" kiss is only realized after the opposition of the heroine is overcome- it is the same as the surprise type excent that it is preceded by a tussle, friendly or otherwise.I believe that all osculators are acquainted with the voluntary kiss, it is the one in which the heroine offers to press the lips of the hero without his desire. When he weakens to her enticing actions (he usually does) he meets hr only half way with a mild osculation that is enjoyed only by her. There grew from the aforementioned tournament the verdict that the American kiss is "flaccid." the English, "terpid," the Spanish, "vampir-ish" and the French, "chaste." We have witnessed kisses that would fall in other classes. We thank you. HYMN OF A MA.M-IATKK. ( Dedicated to M. T. ) O love, stay dttt of my young heart, For I have fears of thee. In my serene life take no part, Thus let me peaceful be! O, love, depart! depart! Oft at thy sallies have I fled. Have shunned thy wily glances; Bring no regrets on my poor head, I cannot take thy chances. O, love, be sped! be sped! Why dost thou ever harry me. And sap my mean ambition? Thy purpose seemeth well to be, To make my life perdition. O, demon, haste and flee! (Repeat at will) W hen our games are played as of yore, E specially if it be great football or B asketball with Ogden high. A bore? E lliott says not and say he. "Well, R eally High will look like the dickens. oo ABOUT THE GYM STALL. Why is the work delayed on the gym? That is a question that enters into all our minds, we know, but who of us can answer it? Of course there are some of us who never let the question worry us. It would be almost fortunate to have some of these, while walking over its "ruins" to fall through. (This is not easy.) Thus injuring themselves, I think they would start wondering why they fell through and who is at the bottom of it all. It is true that we students assisted loyally in last year's campaign but should we now lose interest? Let's find out why the gym doesn't go up. It may be our fault or it may be the fault of others. Let's inquire and see, anyway! -oo EDITORIAL DON'TS We have often wondered why something hasn't been aaid in behalf of Slim Taylor and Frank Douglas. These prominent characters, we have decided, are not looking for school fame, but are just trying to lighten up the world. They will excuse the staff we feel sure for making their names and works public. It is certainly sad to see them come slowly out of their classes. And it certainly does prWe disastrous for the smaller ones of the school, when they come out so down-hearted, for Slim, who is capable of seeing over the heads of the rest, spots Doug, in the other end of the hall, and at the same time Doug gets a glimpse of the living flag pole bobbing gracefully around. The.i they dash at each other with open arms. After the embrace we see them walk off arm in arm to tell each other of their last encounter with the teacher much as a small boy takes 'his trouble to his mother. After their solemn meeting in which they discuss such items as the white slip, the tardy problem and new excuses for not being prepared with their lessons, they dismiss. They return, singing at the top of their musical voices a song they have composed themselves known as "All's Well That Ends Well," or else one which has just been completed and has only been out a few days entitled, "If I Had a Nickel I'd Give It to You." One peculiar thing about the new song is that they have changed parts. Slim, now sings the lead in the new masterpiece, and Doug, very neatly brings up the rear and helpingly fills in all the parts lacking. After a brief spell in the halls the two begin to move classward once more. Doug usually accompanies Slim to the door, to make sure no trouble will befall his lofty head. Doug thinks by protecting him till he fills out a little he can makes a man of him. Sim kindly bends over and kisses Doug, good-bye, as a token of love and appreciation, and the latter retreats. Slim enters ttfe room and finds a complete set of examination questions on the board- He immediately gets permission to hunt Doug, up and consult with him on the matter. After the conference he returns as a hero ready to accept the test for Doug, has inspired him with the thought that, a zero was all he himself ever expected in a test, and so he could not expect more of Slim. At night it takes them about three-fourths of an hour to get to Slim's Ford. Slim hunts Doug, up and very patiently plods along the path meeting teacher after teacher with which a lengthy conversation is necessary. Some of them threaten to drop them from the class. At this Slim gives a loud yell as if he had just been released from prison and they go on, a feeling of satisfaction in their hearts.

(lll.)A perfect drop kick from the 25-yard line was spoiled by a defective football, which exploded just as the ball sailed over the goal bar in a game here between Mooseheart. and Morris high schools. Right end Durbin of the Mooseheart team dropped back to the 24-yard line and attempted the drop kick. The kick was perfect and the ball was passing the goal bar when it exploded and burst. The referee gave Durgin another ball, and this time the player missed the goal.

On the way he bought a package of Salted Peanuts from the Train Boy and lost his Hat out of the Window. After becoming acquainted with the City Slicks he became Intimate with the Boys that shoot Craps in the Back Alleys and play Pinochle in Box Cars on Rainy Days He also developed a Punch. He soon knocked a Real One for a Row of Picket Fences. Cyril then decided the Time had arrived for him to shun the Hoi-Polli, which is Greek for Low Brows, and associate with the Boys who wore 7 3-4 Hats and discussed the Einstein Theory- In his Mad Pursuit of Culture he entered the Brain Hatchery. "Now,'' said he, "I will go through High School and College and soon my Scholarly Attainments will get me past the Door, into the Inner Circle of the Hot Potatoes." He soon accumulated a Sense of Virtue that was hard to carry around. One day Cyril chanced to see The Eleven Practice. He was sitting on the sideline watching the Murder and Carnage when an Elevating Thought permeated his Sweet Soul. The next day Cyril descended back to Brute and now he couldn't be Dented with a Hatchet. SITTING BULL. SOMETHING YOU SHOULD KNOW Blue Pine Coffee contains no harsh acid.
