Excerpt from The Story of an American, Dedicated to the Memory of Theodore Roosevelt
This is the story of an American. But it also deals with a great many other subjects and things. In one sense it is no story at all, but is a rambling, disconnected series of essays and observations and sermons. I say "sermons" and the term is correctly used, for the story, or whatever it may be called, deals primarily with religion. I say "primarily" and I believe that is correct, though many other subjects are discussed and analyzed. Though the story deals primarily with religion and with kindred subjects, it also deals with men, and the men discussed and analyzed are Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson. You will see, or have already seen, that I have dedicated the story to Theodore Roosevelt. Of course, therefore, in the discussion and analysis of Roosevelt and Wilson, I favor Roosevelt. I have attempted in the pages that follow, to preach Americanism and I have discussed the League of Nations and its bearing on Americanism, and I have attempted also to pronounce a eulogy upon Mr. Roosevelt. Mr. Wilson is not to my liking at all and Mr. Roosevelt was my beau ideal. We are inestimably poorer for his having gone, and to contribute somewhat, (if possible) toward keeping his memory alive and to contribute somewhat, if possible, even if but to an infinitesimal degree toward keeping the principles for which he stood before the American people today, I have written this story.
