'A SALUTE To THE SOUTH-I 'The Springfield Republican's View c President Roosevelt's Trip to the South. 'Springfield Republican. President Roosevelt has begun hi -souiern tour with an address at his toric Richmond, the capital of th -Confederacy, a place .that is alive wit the memories of the south's grea Iteroes. The opening passages make; tactful and gracious salute to th -southern people, with its cordial ref .erences to -their unsurpassed valor ii war, and ithe success in restoring thei niaterial prosperity in the ensuinj years of peace. No one can doubt Mi Roosevelt's absolute sincerity in thi tribute, which reaches a plane of elo quence not often attained by him, il that -moving passage, beginning -"Think of it, oh, my courftrymer think of the good fortune that i eurs!" The remainder of the speech run very briefly over the questions tha confront the nation, as Mr. Roose velt sees them, and, as a whole, th address serves admirably as an in troduction to the series of discussion Aon matters of public interest that wil follow at various points of the toui The keynote of the. journey, as her, indicated, is clear. The president o the United Sta:tes approaches thi south with outstretched hands, ani 1rankly seeks its good will and friend ship. It is easy to imagine that he ha a motive stronger than most presi dents could ihave, for the memory o *is southern mother can 'hardly fail t stir in him the keen desire to gain th< approval and even the love of hi -nother's people. The touch of senti :nent with which we may thus inves this journey of the Chief Magistrat lifts it above the ordinary politica tour, and gives it a dramatic qual ity also that has fixed the attention o the nation. The president, too, approaching thi south with 'the purpose of showinj that he values its public opinion il mnatters which concern the country a large. It has ibeen lately asserted, .t< be sure, that Mr. Roosevelt will utiliz ~the .trip 'to win for his public policies soon to be put to thie test of Congres sional action, that measure of south ~rn or .democratic support which ma: be necessary 'to make good the losse among 'his own party followers. H ieeds votes, it is charged, for his rail Toad programme; the south is to *b asked to furnish them.. Even if thi 'e true, it is no heinous act, for wher -votes are to be had they may be hon .otably sought by political leaders 'Yet, puatting aside-' uncer,tain politica notives, there. is an .aspect of th president's journey with its discussio: of the questions of the day that mus co&mmtand wide and unstinted applaus< 'The effect of his addresbes, now upo: on :question, now upon another, i: eight -different states, is to prove tha no presi'dent with -the highest degre of sn.icee's can admizqistdr the affair of .thi-s 'counmtry or lead even that on it~ls 'gr.eat poli,tical parties whichi 'n a small minority in all that regior wihout recognizing and taking heavi ~y into account the southern peopi< A distinguished southern senator1 r he recent presi-dential campaigt "whe.n it had already bcone apparer th'at the democratic candidate whor the sou-th had earnestly suppotred wa 'doomed to defeat, bitterly complaine that the south had become an outcas in the politics of the nation, that th 'est of thb country distrus-ted its view~ ad purposes,'and 'that it was increas angly 'difficult for that section to pla its legitimate part in the goveramer of the country.. If such a feeling' es ists among. the .southern people-an its wide prevalence is 'to be doubted it seems 'that the republican presi dent's tour and discussions of his poa icies, 'face to face witih' them, must bt jor the common good. The south mus 'not 'be permitted to feel itself isolate< and i't is 'very possible that nothin cotild do more 'to 'dissipate the miasmn of political isolation, which the sout enay have 'nh'aled in recent year: than tihe appearance in southern citie and towns of this gallant presiden -w3to talks of his ambitions in publi lie and shoaws his anxiety to have 'th people he 'addresses think well of 'hin As one dares for his country an hiopes for the ultimate solution of a -its problems, he must desire the ful -est and most abounding success f -the president's southern tour.

We can idealize the president's journey, s which takes place under peculiar con t ditions, in view of southern white feel ing .toward him in the past three years, only by 'seeing in him the rep resencative of the nation, and by as s cribing to him noble aspirations for national unity, and for a sane, whole some understanding between the great racial components of'the republic. At the same time, we can fairly demand of him that in seeking these ends of almost infinite worth .he compromise no ,vital principle 'that he himself has held, or that the American democ racy 'has cherished.
