A great article about TR.

Note the difference in writing style from then to now--unlike today, where the perks, prestige and protocol seem to follow former presidents, back then, they usually reverted to the title of "Mister" or, in TR's case, "Colonel" as he was last known in the military.

Bully!

It was proper in that day, and still it...but misused by the media...to call a office holder, deceased or out of office, by the last office he held prior to his last.

Yep, Ex-Presidents in those days were a lot better behaved than now. Imagine TR going around the world bitching about Wilson during wartime like Jimmy Carter does!
