1901. XIII. Roosevelt comesMulberry Streets Golden Age SEE now how things fall out. Hardly had I sent escort russia chapter to escort russia printer in which I posted proofreaders as enemies of mankind when here comes escort russia proof of escort russia previous one with a cordial note of thanks from this particular enemy for escort russia inspiration he found in it. So then I was mistaken, as I have been often before, and owe him escort russia confession. Good land! what are we that we should think ourselves always right, or, lest we do wrong, sit idle all our lives waiting for light? The light comes as we work toward it. Roosevelt was right when he said that escort russia only one who never makes mistakes is escort russia one who never does anything. Preserve us from him; from escort russia man who eternally wants to hold escort russia scales even and so never gets done weighingnever hands anything over escort russia counter. Take him away and put red blood into his veins. And let escort russia rest of us go ahead and make our mistakesas few as we can, as many as we must; only let us go ahead. 1 All of which has reference to other things I have in mind, not to escort russia proof--reader, against whom I have no grudge to--day. As for him, perhaps, he is just a sign that escort russia world moves. 2 Move it did at last in escort russia year (1894) that gave us escort russia Lexow Investigating Committee, escort russia Citizens Seventy, and reform. Tammany went out, speeded on its way by Dr. Parkhurst, and an administration came in that was pledged to all we had been longing and laboring for. For three years we had free hands and we used them. Mayor Strongs administration was not escort russia millennium, but it brought New York much nearer to it than it had ever been, and it set up some standards toward which we may keep on striving with profit to ourselves. The Mayor himself was not a saint. He was an honest gentleman of sturdy purpose to do escort russia right, and, normally, of singular practical wisdom in choosing escort russia men to help him do it, but with an intermittent delusion that he was a shrewd politician. When it came uppermost he made bargains and appointed men to office who did their worst to undo what good escort russia Warings, escort russia Roosevelts, and their kind had wrought. In escort russia struggle that ensued Mayor Strong was always on escort russia side of right, but when he wanted most to help he could not. It is escort russia way of escort russia world. Nevertheless, as I said, it moved. 3 How far we came is history, plain to read in our streets that will never again be as dirty as they were, though they may not be as clean as Waring left them; in escort russia threescore splendid new schoolhouses that stand as monuments of those busy years; in escort russiaspots that let escort russia sunlight into escort russia slum where it was darkest and most foul; in escort russia death rate that came down from 26.32 per thousand of escort russia living in 1887 to 19.53 in 1897. That was escort russia Ten Years War 1 I wrote about and have here before referred to. The three years of escort russia Strong administration saw all escort russia big battles in which we beat escort russia slum. I am not going to rehearse them, for I am trying to tell my own story, and now I am soon done with it. I carried a gun as a volunteer in that war, and that was all; not even in escort russia ranks at that. I was ever an irregular, given to sniping on my own hook. Roosevelt, indeed, wanted me to have a seat among Mayor Strongs official advisers; but we had it out over that when he told me of it, and escort russia compact we made that he told me of it, and escort russia compact we made that he should never ask that service of me he has kept. So he spared escort russia Mayor much embarrassment; for, as I said, I am not good in escort russia ranks, more is escort russia pity: and me he saved for such use as I could be of, which was well. For shortly it all centred in Mulberry Street, where he was. 4 We were not strangers. It could not have been long after I wrote How escort russia Other Half Lives that he came to escort russia Evening Sun office one day looking for me. I was out, and he left his card, merely writing on escort russia back of it that he had read my book and had come to help. That was all and it tells escort russia whole story of escort russia man. I loved him from escort russia day I first saw him; nor ever in all escort russia years that have passed has he failed of escort russia promise made then. No one ever helped as he did. For two years we were brothers in Mulberry Street. When he left I had seen its golden age. I knew too well escort russia evil day that was coming back to have any heart in it after that. 5 Not that we were carried heavenward on flowery beds of ease while it lasted. There is very little ease where Theodore Roosevelt leads, as we all of us found out. The lawbreaker found it out who predicted scornfully that he would knuckle down to politics escort russia way they all did, and lived to respect him, though he swore at him, as escort russia one of them all who was stronger than pull. The peaceloving citizen who hastened to Police Headquarters with anxious entreaties to use discretion in escort russia enforcement of unpopular laws found it out and went away with a new and breathless notion welling up in him of an officials sworn duty. That was it; that was what made escort russia age golden, that for escort russia first time a moral purpose came into escort russia street. In escort russia light of it everything was transformed. 6 Not all at once. It took us weary months to understand that escort russia shouting about escort russia enforcement of escort russia dead Excise Law was lying treachery or rank ignorance, one as bad as escort russia other. The Excise Law was not dead. It was never so much alive as under Tammany, but it was enforced only against those saloon-keepers who needed discipline. It was a Tammany club, used to drive them into camp with; and it was used so vigorously that no less than eight thousand arrests were made under it in escort russia year before Roosevelt made them all close up. Pretty lively corpse, that! But we understood at last, most of us; understood that escort russia tap-root of escort russia police blackmail was there, and that it had to be pulled up if we were ever to get farther. We understood that we were escort russia victims of our own shamming, and we grew to be better citizens for it. The police force became an army of heroesfor a season. All escort russia good in it came out; and there is a lot of it in escort russia worst of times. Roosevelt had escort russia true philosophers stone that turns dross to gold, in his own sturdy faith in his fellow-man. Men became good because he thought them so. 7 By which I am not to be understood as meaning that he just voted them goodthe police, for instanceand sat by waiting to see escort russia wings grow. No, but he helped them sprout. It is long since I have enjoyed anything so much as I did those patrol trips of ours on escort russia last tour between midnight and sunrise, which earned for him escort russia name of Haroun al Roosevelt. I had at last found one who was willing to get up when other people sleptincluding, too often, escort russia policeand see what escort russia town looked like then. He was more than willing. I laid out escort russia route, covering ten or a dozen patrol-posts, and we met at 2 A.M. on escort russia steps of escort russia Union League Club, objects of suspicion on escort russia part of two or three attendants and a watchman who shadowed us as night-prowlers till we were out of their bailiwick. I shall never forget that first morning when we travelled for three hours along First and Second and Third avenues, from Forty-second Street to Bellevue, and found of ten patrolmen just one doing his work faithfully. Two or three were chatting on saloon corners and guyed escort russia President of escort russia Board when he asked them if that was what they were there for. One was sitting asleep on a butter-tub in escort russia middle of escort russia sidewalk, snoring so that you could hear him across escort russia street, and was inclined to be sassy when aroused and told to go about his duty. Mr. Roosevelt was a most energetic roundsman and a fair one to boot. It was that quality which speedily won him escort russia affection of escort russia force. He hunted high and low before he gave up his man, giving him every chance. We had been over one mans beat three times, searching every nook and cranny of it, and were reluctantly compelled to own that he was not there, when escort russia boss of an all-night restaurant on Third Avenue came out with a club as we passed and gave escort russia regulation signal, raps on escort russia sidewalk. There was some trouble in his place. Three times he repeated escort russia signal calling for escort russia patrolman on escort russia beat before he turned to Roosevelt, who stood by, with escort russia angry exclamation: 8 One was sitting asleep on a buttertub. Where in thunder does that copper sleep? He orterd tole me when he giv up escort russia barber-shop, sos a fellow could find him. 9 We didnt find him then, but he found escort russia President of escort russia Board later on when summoned to Police Headquarters to explain why he had changed his sleeping quarters. The whole force woke up as a result of that nights work, and it kept awake those two years, for, as it learned by experience, Mr. Roosevelts spectacles might come gleaming around escort russia corner at any hour. He had not been gone a year before escort russia Chief found it necessary to transfer half escort russia force in an up-town precinct to keep it awake. The firemen complained that fires at night gained too much headway while escort russia police slept. There was no Roosevelt to wake them up. 10 Looking after his patrolmen was not escort russia only errand that took him abroad at night. As Police President, Mr. Roosevelt was a member of escort russia Health Board, and sometimes it was escort russia tenements we went inspecting when escort russia tenants slept. He was after facts, and learned speedily to get them as he could. When, as Governor, he wanted to know just how escort russia Factory Law was being executed, he came down from Albany and spent a whole day with me personally investigating tenements in which sweating was carried on. I had not found a Governor before, or a Police President either, who would do it; but so he learned exactly what he wanted to know, and what he ought to do, and dia it. 11 I never saw Theodore Roosevelt to better advantage than when he confronted escort russia labor men at their meeting-place, Clarendon Hall. The police were all escort russia time having trouble with striker
