ROOSEVELT R1 And is Given a I By Hundreds New York. June 18.?Colonel Theo- I dore Roosevelt came home today amid I the roar of cannon, screeches of steam craft and cheer of a clustered {populace. The ex-president mapped out his immediate future in a speech at Battery Park, saying that he intends to devote this energy toward helping to solve the country's problems. He gave one hint that he wants to be put back in the presidency. Coming back after an absence of fifteen months, Colonel Roosevelt was the picture of perfect health. His face was bronzed from the hunt in Africa. His hair was perhaps a trifle more gray than when he left, but the expresident looked no older for it. He was as vigorous as of yore. The Roosevelt luck that has smiled upon the fortunes of the faunal naturalist was with him today. He looked out from the Auguste Victoria to find the sun struggling through a gray mist. Scarely had the ex-president had his breakfast before the mist was *i * ^> fi jWki'"6 ' I v ^ H mVStk ~tiv p ; # ? ? PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. gone. The sun came out in glorious splendor and it shone upon the colonel all through the day's demonstration. When the last of the day's ceremonies were over, the sun disappeared behind heavy clouds and soon there was a torrent of rain. The elements had held off until Colonel Roosevelt was safely out of harm's way. There had been no intimation given to Colonel Roosevelt of the ovation that was in store for him. and he gazed with amazement upon the vessels as they crowded near the Manhattan. "I didn't know a thing of this," he exclaimed gleefully. "I am astounded." He had an expansive smile for everybody, a cheery word for the "boys," his old friends the newspaper men, a pet anecdote for the politicians, especial greetings of affection for his old command, the Rough Riders and a quick eye for absolutely everything. "Roosevelt good luck" still followed its namesake. Though hot and sultry, the weather held fair until the marine parade, the exercises at the Battery and the march up Broadway and Fifth avenue to Central park had been carried through with punctuality and precision. Then it rained great guns. A torrential thunder shower, accompanied by a high wind that did much damage, swept suddenly down on the homeward-bound visitors, but cleared again shortly before five o'clock. The welcome to Roosevelt today was shot through with a dramatic ivhioh lone aeo found popular expression In the typical phrase "the return from Elba." His welcome today brought men prominent In all walks of life from all parts of the country. Therefore It was national.

From the mists of early morning emerged first the drab hull of the battleship South Carolina, two lean swift destroyers and two torpedo boats behind her. Then spoke the guns. Bluecoat sailors lined the decks in close packed ranks, while massed on the quarterdeck of the South Carolina stood the marine band, a solid splash of scarlet coats, pounding out the "Star Spangled Banner." It did not take the colonel long to get on the bridge, dressed for the formalities of the day in a frock coat and a top hat. For a moment, he stood bareheaded and waved to the men in silent answer to their cheers. Then the sight of the South Carolina touched a heartstring. "By George, that's one of my ships," he exclaimed. "Doesn't she look good? I built her and those destroyers, too." Finally the marine parade over, the man of the hour emerged from the shadows of the dock house. His cutter, the Androscoggin, was hidden from sight by the dock house roof and walls, and the crowd, in ignorance of just what was going on waited in i Intense and almost tremulous silence. The speakers stand, the private boxes, the seats for the reception committee and the press stand were all placed on a little plot of green turf, directly facing the pier at which Colonel Roosevelt landed. A canvas ? canopy protected Colonel Roosevelt : "Movor Oovnnp from n hlirwlinC ' sun. It was very hot and the humid- l ity made the heat oppressive. 1 Once on the speaking stand, the ' gravity dropped from Roosevelt's face < like a falling curtain. He grinned a true Roosevelt grin and waved familiarly to this and that friend. Gifford ; Pinchot was one of the lirst to catch < his eye. "Glad to see you, glad to see you, i indeed," shouted his old chief. I Facing the stand was the box occupied by Mr. Roosevelt's family. "Turn around, father, and look at ' the crowd," cried Mrs. Longworth. < Colonel Roosevelt turned. There 1 faced him a field of faces as broad as 1 the prairies he loves. Lines of police 1 hid the bodies and over the gray hel- < mets of the bluecoats was visible i nothing but one vast expanse of hu- 1 man countenances, all upturned to ' him, all waiting for him. < Roosevelt flushed a dark red be- l neath his tan, while even as he turn- < ed a spontaneous shout of exultation i that left him for a moment reflective, burst from the waiting thousands. Then he discovered the newspaper < men in the press stand. ; "I'm overwhelmed with pleasure to ' meet you all here gentlemen," he ex- ' plained, waving his hand and smiling expansively. "We're mighty glad to have you back," shouted a candid reporter. The mayor in welcoming Mr. Roosevelt said: "We are all here to welcome Mr. Roosevelt to New York.

We glory in all that and it only remains for me to say t now, Mr. Roosevelt, that we welcome ' you home again." "Mr. Mayoy, fellow townsmen and t to you my fellow Americans" the colonel began. A tremendous wave of i cneering wem up unu me nuiuic. "Americans" received especial einpha- i sis. His voice was a little hoarse but he spoke with his usual force and declamatory effect. Replying to Mayor Gaynor Colonel Roosevelt said: "I thank you Mayor Gaynor. Through you 1 thank your committee and through them I wish to thank the American people for their greeting. I need hardly say I am most deeply moved by the reception given me. No ! man could receive such a greeting s without being made to feel both very proud and very humble. ?

"To a word," came back an appre- < ciatlve chorus from the press stand, i The exercises at the Battery were 1 surprisingly brief and simple and al- < most before the people realized they i were over, Mr. Koosevelt, the mayor ' and Cornelius Vanderbllt, chairman 1 of the reception committee, were i moving toward their carriage in the line of parade.

The colonel was on his feet in 1 an Instant. "I certainly love all my < boys," he shouted back, and again t there was a yell almost hysterical in i Intensity. The parade started at 11.30. In 1 front of the Rough Riders and leading the line was a detachment of mount- i ed police. Then came the mounted t band of the squadron, the New York s national guard, the Rough Riders fol- * lowed by the Roosevelt carriage and ( eighty other carriages in which rode t the visiting mayors, governors, mem- 1 bers of the house and United States f senate and members of the reception i eommittee. Eight mounted police- 1 men, all former cavalrymen, who served in the Spanish-American war, sur- ? rounded the Roosevelt carriage. t The line of march in the lower city j was through a seething whirlpool of * enthusiasm. The tall cliffs of the can- < yon that is Broadway, were speckled t with faces at the windows. Every- 1 thing imaginable was waved alow and aloft. Whirls of descending ticker 1 tape, thrown from windows in the financial district, filled the air with spirals. Colonel Roosevelt was as enthusiastic as the crowd.

A letter from Theodore Roosevelt, ;xpressing sympathy with the movement and regret at his Inability to be present was read at Friday's session if the world missionary conference it Edinburgh, Scotland. The communication, which was addressed to Silas McBee, an American delegate, aroused much entnusiasm. The former president wrote: "London, May 16, 1910. 'My Dear Sir: ? "It is a matter of real profound egret to me that 1 am imperatively :alled away to America so that I am anable to be present in person at the ivorld missionary conference. I refret it the more, as if I had been able :o be present it would have been as a lelegate from the Dutch Reformed hurch of America, to which I belong. "Nothing like your proposed con'erence has ever hitherto taken place, from many nations, and from many churches, your delegates gather on his great occasion to initiate a movenent, which I not only hope but beieve will be fraught with far-reachng good. "For the first time in four centuries Christians of every name come ogether without renouncing their leveral convictions or sacrificing their teveral principles, to confer as to what jommon action may be taken in orler to make their common Christianity not only known to, but a vital 'orce among the two-thirds of the human race, to whom, as yet, it is hardy even a name. Surely every man imbued, as every nan should be, with the ethical eachings of Christianity, must reoice in such an effort to combine the strength of all the churches in the endeavor to Christianize humanity and ;o Christianize it not merely in name }ut in very fact. "Your conference represents the sractlcal effort to apply the teachings jf the gospel to what the epistle of Jude calls "the common salvation." \n infinite amount of work remains ;o be done before we can regard ourselves as being even within measurible distance of the desired goal; an nfinlte amount at home in the dark places, which too often closely surround the brightest centers of light, ind an infinite amount abroad in hose dark places of the earth where slackness is as yet unrelieved by any ight. "When such is the high purpose to ivhich you have dedicated yourselves, i? Aiui.ioniiv fitting that vnnr Invl lation should have gone to all Chrisdan churches in all lands. I am sure hero will be a general, and I hope, a universal response. In missionary work, above all other kinds of Chrisdan work, it is imperative to remember that a divided Christendom can >11 ly imperfectly bear witness to the jssentlal unity of Christianity, I believe that without compromise or belief, without loss of the positive good contained in the recognition of diversities of gifts and differences of administration, the Christian church may yet find a way to cordial cooperation and friendship as regards the great underlying essentials under which, as a foundation, all Christian . hutches are built. This is one of the lessons which has been particularly impressed upon me by what I have seen of Christian work in Africa, both in heathen and Mohammedan lands. I believe that unity in a spirit of Christian brotherhood for such broad Christian work will tend, not to do away with differences of doctrine, but to prevent us from laying too much stress on these differences of doctrine. It Is written in the scripture that 'He that doeth my will shall know of the doctrine;' but the reverse of this proposition ennniit be found in holy writ. Em phasis is to be put upon 'doing the will;' if only we can make up our minds to work together with earnest sincerity for tlie common good, we shall find that doctrinal differences in no way interfere with our doing this work.

P. iUiocctlanrous Reading. , BUILDING UP THE CAROLINAS. ' i Editor Poe Gives the South Carolina | Editors Food For Thought. Greenville News, Friday. Clarence H. Poe, editor of the Progressive Farmer, was one of the interesting speakers at the Press assotia- ' tion meeting at Glenn Springs Tuesday J night of this week. Mr. Poe is one of s tha liaat man In thu Q<uith nn ^ agricultural problems, and in talking to the South Carolina editors he gave them much to digest when their playtime should be over. "Both Carolinas need and must have a larger proportion of white people," declared Mr. Poe. "The whole south, in fact, is still too sparsely settled. Our eleven southern states, excluding Texas, support only 16,000,000 people of both races, and only 10,000,000 white people, while the same area in Europe supports over 160,000,000 white people. And it must be remembered that up to a certain point which we shall not reach for centuries yet, and other things being equal, prosperity depends upon density of population. Population makes wealth, provided that it is normally intelligent and efficient. "Of course we do not want the lower class European immigration. If we can get immigration from England, Scotland, Ireland, Germany, Holland, Sweden, etc.,?the countries whose blood has gone to make up our various American stock?it would be of : great help to us. We are all of us i such immigrants ourselves or descend - i ants of such immigrants. From some countries of southern and eastern Eu- 1 rope, on the other hand, immigration is 1 of a decidedly lower order and objec- : tionable because of a low standard of i intelligence and efficiency. "On the very same principle, how- : ever, immigration of a normal or high i standard of intelligence and efficiency is desirable. Such immigration can be had, and ought to be had?in some measure perhaps from our English, Scotch, Dutch and Irish kinsfolk across the sea?but chiefly from our northern and western states. For years now hundreds of thousands of the most enterprising and progressive farmers in the middle west have been going into Canada with its long hard winters and , bitter climate, not only giving up American citizenship, but actually paying two to three times as much for land in that inhospitable region as land , of the same fertility commands in the south. We ought to have brought these men to the south. They know ; our Institutions, our language, they . are industrious, thrifty, wide-awake, and many of them are of southern ancestry who should naturally come hnplf hnmp T Pt'Q hrlnir th^m honlf " Giving his own good ideas as to how to build up this section, Mr. Poe declared: "There are just two great ways to build up the Carolinas. First and of paramount importance is education of all our people; and I should only supplement this by putting more earnest emphasis upon practical education, education that trains for efficiency, not education suited to the great urban centers of Europe and the north, but education suited to the needs of a great, awakening agricultural citizenship such as ours is and must be. "Now let us start right ?not by seeking immigrants from southern Eu- ' rope, but by advertising our resources to the thrifty, enterprising and progressive farmers of the north and west ?men of our own stock who now only need an invitation to make them come. Emerson was right when he said that "every man who comes into a city with any purchasable talent or skill in him gives to every man's labor in the city a new worth,' and if an ignorant negro ! slave in the old days was worth $1,000, ' certainly we may asume that a thrifty and intelligent white westerner, bringing not only himself, but in most cases substantial accumulations as well, should be worth many times as much as an asset to the state. "The last census year North Carolina had only 1,200,000 white people. It should have 4,000,000. South Carolina had less than 600,000 whites \ when it should have 3,000,000?and would then he even with its 800,000 negroes, only one-third as thickly ' settled as Massachusetts! Consider for a moment how much more influential our papers would be, how much more important every institution in the state would be, how much more varied would be our industries, how much easier it would he to get good roads in counties in which the white population ' is now too small to maintain them, how easy it would be to double the usefulness of our public schools, how quickly we should build railroads in the sections which must otherwise re- ; main dormant and backward for long, long years, how important our cities should become, and how much more attractive would be country life in our thickly settled communities, and how much easier it would be to get telephones and water-works and trolley lines and local libraries and all advantages of twentieth century rural life! "Let us take as our watchword "Education and Immigration?Both of the Right Sort." Mr. Poe when he tackles a problem goes to the root of it; and there is nothing superficial about his reasoning. , He recognizes a condition as it exists, and does not theorize even in his analysis. Of South Carolina's men and women at home and abroad, he said: "In the last census year 234,062 native sons and daughters of South Carolina were living in other states (to say nothing <?f the million sons and daughters of South Carolina emigrants), while South Carolina had received from other states and countries only (10,744 settlers. "For seventy years now our Carolinians have been going west to build up the new states of that great empire. Now let us welcome back their children and neighbors to help us build two great, prosperous and populous commonwealths, where the masses of ' the people trained to as high standards of efficiency as anywhere in the world. 1 shall develop a symmetrical and wellrounded civilization; a splendid and forceiul democracy of trained, intelligent and thrifty homo-owners from among whom shall come not only a Jefferson and Marshall, not only a James J. Hill and Thomas A. Kdison and a Seaman A. Knapp, not only men whom all the nations shall know as leaders in industry and in public affairs, but poets and seers, sculptors and artists?if not a Titian at least a Reynolds or a Millet, if not a Michael Angelo at least a St. Gaudens or a Ward, if not a Shakespeare at least a i Browning or a Tennyson, if not a Savonarola, at least some great re- i ligious leader who shall put the church < into vital relations to modern thought and give it a new baptism of spiritual < power?all these until our long and I tragic years of war and struggle and rebuilding shall find their fruitage in an outburst of achievement such as our fathers yearned for, and is now rkiir Viltrh nrivilfiirp tr* hrinf ntioilt " NEWSPAPERS AND POLITICIANS. President Kohn Tells What He Thinks of Mixing With Politics. The following paragraph Is taken 'rom the annual address of President August Kohn, of the State Press association. Into it Is compressed a vhole volume of wisdom: "We have purposely arranged to told this meeting before the beginning of our state campaign. Newspaper folks seem to think they are an essential part of a campaign. They ire, but it is for the good of the other 'ellow. I have recently heard the advice of John Skelton Williams to the graduating class of the University of South Carolina. In the main It was: Keep ouc of politics and devote your ;nergies to industrial development. After my 20 years of newspaper experment I want to say to you time spent n politics is largely wasted. We need food and true men for officers, but as ? Tin 111n o on l/l "I nf nltl mon trn nto politics and the young men go to war"?meaning work. Politics and auslness do not mix very well, but Lhere may be times when duty demands public service of a newspaper worker, and he should respond to ?uch a call. The point I am undertaking to Impress on you, my associates, is that office seeking is largely a business. It is the other fellow's affair and there is no need for you to get excited about it. Do not get excited! It will pay you and your community better to devote your columns to the building of a cotton mill or a shirt factory or good roads than to get excited over a scramble for some political office. Remember it is the other fellow who wants the office. The average man in public life has a short memory. Let me say, emphatically, that it is our duty as newspaper men to oppose the selection of vicious or demagogic men or measures. The election of bad men to offices Is a misfortune and in such contests our duty is plain, but where the contest is between men of about the same capacity for an office and there is no principle involved it is just as well to expend our energies on real development. Above all, let us avoid excitement in this campaign year." Mr. Kohn's view of the matter Is correct and his advice is sound. This newspaper will act on the lines suggested by him his summer, and has In fact always followed It in the past. ?Anderson Daily Mail. THE LAND OF PROMISE. The South's Advantages Exploited by Louisiana Congressman. Washington, June 14.?With "Oo South, Young Men and Immigrants," as his keynote, Representative Ransdell, of Louisiana, today addressed the house, as a sort of advance agent for the southland in general, and Louisiana in particular. He based bis remarks on the exodus of many of "our best citizens into the British possessions north of the United States, and the rapid congestion of our cities caused by the growing unpopularity of life on the farm, and by the large influx of foreign immigrants, many of whom settle in cities." As a remedy for all these problems, he suggested to the house that the persons concerned should be induced to come to the south. "In my judgment," said the Louisiana statesman, in discussing the drift of people from the farms to the cities, "this is one of the fruitful causes of the high price of living. All food products?ar.d the food we eat is our heaviest item of expense?comes from the ground or the sea, and when the number of consumers who dwell in :ltles disproportionately exceeds the producers in the country, it naturally results in high prices. "If the relative growth of population In city and country remains the same for the next decade, and production of food be not materially increased in some very unlooked for way. I see no reason why the price of edibles should decrease, but rather expect an increase," he predicted. In this connection. Representative Dnno/loll ooi/1 that "ti'Vi a t ia h n nnon I n or to us is also happening to the nations of Europe." "He also showed that during the last five years 312,614 citizens, carrying with them material wealth in money and property valued at over $312,000,000, "to say nothing of the immense potential value of each of these splendid people," emigrated from the linked States into Canada. He commented at length upon the concentration of aliens in the cities of the United States. "The southern states would gladly furnish homes to every one of our own citizens," said he, "who have gone to! Canada or contemplate such a move, and could welcome all the boys and girls who have left or expect to leave the hardships of northern farms to seek unfamiliar work in congested cities. Moreover, we can supply farms to a great many of the foreigners who seek our shores, and we are really anxious to receive all good immigrants of the Teutonic, Scandinavian, British and French races." Then he entered into a description of what the south offered. A few years ago, he remarked, the southerners were nearly all farmers, and their one crop was cotton. "Its sceptre was seized some time ago by King Corn and is now firmly held by that monarch," he added. But corn and cotton are not the only crops grown in the south, Mr. Ransdell gave the house to understand. He told of a great change that had come over it, and the present practice of diversification of crops. With this diversity of crops, the congressman painted the south as a fine place for domestic animals. He grew real enthusiastic over the advantages of "my own Louisiana for the lowly porker." The farms were not the only things the south had to offer, Mr. Ransdell informed the house. He suggested that an inspection of mining, mercantile and manufacturing statistics would show that. Hi* challenged the statements that the south was not a healthy section. The whites, he said, wore Just as healthy as whites In any other portion of the country. "The negro race is not healthy," he admitted, "for reasons which the scope of this speech prevents me from discussing."

"The Chinese seem to be more eager in their pursuit of education than ths children of the other nationalities, who merely go to school with a desire to :omplete the different courses and go Into business or industrial life. The Chinese child goes after its studies in earnest and the Chinese father fosters the policy of giving his children as much education as possible. Not only ire the Chinese of the islands brighter ind more cultivated, but they are a far better class of people to deal with in a business way than the Japanese and Koreans."

"Why do you waste your time 'n such a foolish way?" "Foolish? Don't say that. Think of the boon It will be to mankind if I succeed! As soon as any kind of use can be found for them they will quit growing without being tenderly cared for." ?Chicago Record-Herald.
