The life of the former president is one of the most
brilliant chapters in American history. Loved and admired
in some quarters, he succeeded, however, in acquiring the
enmity of many prominent men and his later life was filled
with strife on one hand and preparation for even more
strenuous public life on the other. It was popularly believed
in fact, that Roosevelt would make an effort to become pres
ident again at the next national election, although no expres-
only a short time ago and gone home.
The most recent great public effort of Roosevelt came
at the last republican national convention, when, after the
Republicans had refused to nominate him, he turned his
strength to Senator Lodge. The latter, however, failed o^"
nomination and Charles E. Hughes was named to oppose
President Wilson. Hughes then obtained full support of
Colonel Roosevelt.
< Roosevelt's war record was full of patriotic move-
ment.
At the outbreak of hostilities he wanted to raise a
regiment of soldiers and head it in an expedition to France
His offer was refused.
He was a pioneer in the plea for military preparedness
in the United States and fought hard for a large army and
a powerful navy long before this country entered the war.
The first claim of national fame by Roosevelt came
when he organized and took to Cuba the famous Roosevelt's
Rough Riders. Maj. General Leonard Wood, now in com-
mand of a division of the United States army, helped him
organize this command. General Wood at that time was a
surgeon in the army.
It was largely the result of the work of this regiment
at the battle of San Juan Hill that Roosevelt returned to
PTew York a popular hero. He was elected governor of
New York in 1899, just after the close of the Spanish-Amer-
ican war and in 1900 was elected vice president of the Unit-
ed States with President McKinley.
On September 14, 1901, Roosevelt became president on
President McKinley's assassination.
On November 8, 1904, Roosevelt was elected president
by the largest popular majority ever given a candidate.
In 1912, after he had retired from the presidency he
announced his candidacy to succeed William Howard Taft.
He became the candidate of the progressive party, which he
organized at Chicago after the Republican party had de-
clined to accept him as its candidate. His popularity and
grip on the people was such that, even opposed by the two
old line parties, he polled a tremendous vote, being defeated
by Woodrow Wilson, with Taft third.
It was during this campaign that Roosevelt narrowly
escaped death when a bullet intended for him by John
Schrank in Milwaukee struck the case containing his spec-
tacles and was deflected from his lungs through his shoulder.
His health has been poor since the attack. Sclirank was
sent to a Wisconsin asylum.

One of the most thrilling and
unique stories that the wa r has
given birth to, is no dought "The
Price of Applause," by Nina Wil-
cox Putnam and Norman Jacobson,
which ran recently in the Satur-
day Evening Post. This story has
been adapted to the films by Tri-
angle under the able direction of
Thomas Heffron, one of the most
imaginative directors in fildom,
with an all-star Triangle case, and
is to be shown at the Liberty Thea-
tre for two days beginning the 6th.
"The Price of Applause" pre-
sents one of the most absorbing,
complex and interesting characters
in psychology that the war liter-
ature has produced. This charac-
ter is Karl Le Barron, poet and
member of a little coterie of Bo-
hemians in Washington Square dis-
trict Of a German mother and
speaking a German tongue, he
gives vent to his pro-Germanism
out of a sheer lust for notoriety.
Soap-box orators, mouthing his
phrases, rob him of the center of
the stage for the moment. The
sinking of the Lusitania gives him
a chance to proclaim that he will
enlist and fight for the French.
Marcarson, the iron-jawed, forces
him to keep his word. Both go to
France. There, le Barron deserts,
and by a ruse, is held prisoner in
a German camp for two years.
He escapes to America when he
learns that his pnems have won
him fame, in order to drink of the
popular applause, but his wife and
friends turn on him in disdain
Ultimately, after a series of swift
and dramatic events, he redeems
himself by cleaning up a nest of
spies.
