Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Proceedings of Meeting in Memory of Theodore Roosevelt, Metropolitan Opera House, Philadelphia, Sunday, February 9, 1919 We are met today to do honor to one of the great figures of our republic, one of the outstanding factors of our national life. It is indeed proper that we should do this, and the great outpouring of people here is a tribute not only to him in whose memory we are gathered but to our national ideals for which he stood pre-eminently. All over this wonderful land today similar meetings are being held, and I regard it as a high privilege to have the opportunity of participating in this occasion here at home. It speaks much for the respect and affection in which Theodore Roosevelt was held that such a great number of our people have come here today to show their feelings toward him, weeks after his sudden passing had shocked us, and after the immediate emotions of surprise and grief have been to some extent allayed by the great healer, Time. But he was such an unusual character in life and action! Some one says he was the typical American. That does not express it truthfully - he was not of a type - there was no other of his kind, nor has there been. He was the ideal American! His public service was characterized by a devotion to duty, and enthusiasm for fight and an administrative capacity unequalled in combination. Strong, self-reliant and dominant, he never feared being overshadowed and called about him the strongest men he could find to be his associates in the government. An idealist, he did not soar in the mists of the unattainable, but he kept his purposes on earth where the people live whom he delighted to serve, and his work was always intensely practical in its plans and results. He walked with kings, but never lost the common touch. As a man, virile, vital, courageous, he was peerless.
