Sl.SO Per Year IN TRIUMPH PARTYSPEEDS Splendid Ovations Everywhere Tendered Presidential Party On Southern Trip WELCOME WAS BOUNDLESS Everywhere the Nation's Chief Execu tive Was the Recipient of Typical Southern Hospitality ? Happy in His Speeches ? Well Up on Local History ? Greeted With Enthusiasm by Enormous Crowds. The splendid Southern tour of President Roosevelt began with his vi*it to Richmond on Wednesday. Thousands ti]>on thousands ol' patri otie eiti/ens poured out at the capital city of the Old Dominion to do hom- | age by their presence to the nation's lirst citizen. No printed account ean do justice to the enthusiastic recejv turn accorded the distinguished guests i of the ctiy and the State. Address ing the tremendous throng present. Mr. Roosevelt, among many tactful, patriotic and thriling things, said: "1 trust I need hardly say how great is my pleasure at speaking in this historic capital of your historic State; the State than which no other has contributed a larger proportion to the leadership of the nation; for on the honor roll of those American worthies whose greatness is not only for the age. but for all time, not only for one nation for all the world, on this honor roll Virginia's name stands above all others. And in greeting all of you, I know that no one will grudge my saving a spccial word of acknowledgement to the vet erans of the civil war. A man would, fctfced, be but a poor American who could without a thrill witness tho way in which, in city after city, in the North as well as.in tho South, on every public occasion, tho men who wore the blue and the men who woro the irrav now march ami stand shoulder to shoulder giving tangible proof that we are all now in fact as well as in name a reunited jjeople, a people infinitely richer because efthe priceless memories left to all Amer icans by you men who fought in the great war. Last Memorial Day I spoke in Brooklyn at the unveiling of the statue of a Northern general, under the auspices of the Grand Army of tho Republic, and that great audience cheered every allusion to the valor and self-devotion of the men who followed Lee as heartily as they cheered every alusion to the valor and self-devotion of the men who followed Urant. Tlx* wound* loft l>.v the pent cixil war have long healed, but it* mcmorie* remain. Think of it, oh, my countrymen, think of the pood fortune t hut in ours! That whereas every other war of modern times lion left feeling* of rancor and bitterness to keep asunder tho combatant*, our great war hna left to the sons and daughters of the men who fought on whichever side they fought, the same l'icrht to feel the keenest pride hi the great deeds alike of the men who fought on one side and of t lie men who fought on the other. The proud self-swritlee, the resolute and dariwr rou rage, the hiuh and steadfast de votion 1o the right sis eaeli innn saw it, whether Northerner or Southern er, those qualities render nil Amrr icr.ns forever the debtors of t hone who in the dark days from '(SI to 'tr> proved their truth by their endeavor. Here around Kiehmond, here in your own Stnte, there lies battlefield after baitloHeld, rendered memorable by the men who counted death as but a littlo thing when weighed in the balance against doing their duty as it was given them to ..ee it. Those men have left us of the younger genera tion not merely the memory of what tlwy did in war, but of what they did Ui peace. ' '(Ireat though the inoc*?l of praise is which is due tie South for the soldierly valor lvr sons displayed during tlir* four years of war, I iliink that oven greater praise is due t>> her tor what her people have ac ( ompli?died in the forty years ot nca?'e which followed For forty vrnrs the South has made not merely :? courageous hut at times, a desper ate strupch\ as she has striven for moral and material well-being.

While discussing at some length the duties of citizenship, the ) 'resi dent said: * 4 This government was formed with as its basic idea the principle of treating each man on his worth as a man, of paying no heed to wheth er he was rich or )M>or, or heed to his creed or social standing, but only to the way in which he performed his duty to himself, to his neighbor, to the State. From this principle we cannot afford to vary by so much as a hand's breadth. Many repub lics have risen in the ]>ast, and some of them tlourished long, but tooner or later they fell, and the cause most (totcnt in bringing about their fall waa in almost nil cases 1hc fact that they grew to be governments in the interest of a class instead of gov ernments in the interest of nil." At the banquet in the evening, speaking impromptu, Mr. Roosevelt said : "Gentlemen, I cannot flufflciently express to you n\v deep appreciation of the way in which you hav greeted mo to-day. You cannot be nearly so glad to see me as T am to sec yon. Let me say once more what 1 said in my formal address. Think of I In good fortune that is ours, as a peo ple, in havinir. each of us, whether wo in our own persons or through our ancestors wire the blue or the gray, the proud ??nirhl to challenge as our own nil of the valor, all of the self-devotion, oil of the steadfast adherence to right, as Clod gave to each man to see the right, shown alike by the men who wore the blue and the men who wore the gray in the great contest that was waged from 'til to At one point in the line, of inarch the President shook hands with (Jiles It. Jackson, president of the Develop-1 incut and Jamestown Kxposition Company, and addressed n gathering of negroes as follows: Remarks to Negroes. "I ?want to conceal ulatc you upon the showing your school children; have made, and further I ? ish as an American to congratulate the repre sentatives of the colored race, who! have shown such nroirress in the in- 1 Earthquakes in West Indies. Santiago, Cuba, Hv Cable.?- 'Anoth er earthquake shock was felt here Sunday nttcrnoon. It was stronger than that of Friday, or the shock of Saturday. Kingston, Jamaica, lly Cable.-? An other earthquake shock was felt at 0.3/i Sunday evening, lasting for nearly a minute, JtSvnn oppressively hot before the shock took placo, duetrial interests of this city. All they have done in that way, Mr. Jackson, means a genuine progress for the rare. I am glad, ns an Ameircan, for what >ou are doing. The standing of the bank which in this city is managed by colored men, should give genuine pride to all the colored men of this country. Its record is an enviable one. Yo.i col ored men who show in business life botfi ability and a high order of in tegrity are real benefactors, mrt only of vour race, but of the whole ooun try." i During Mr. Roosevelt's progress through the city he showed special in terest in the school children lined up to greet him, the whites on one side of Broad street, the blacks on the other. He was much anmsed at an other point hv the ap)>caraucc of a huge stuffed bear, over which was the si}in: "Mr. Roosevelt, have a shot; the only one in Richmond." He laughed heartily at this. As the pres idential party passed the Centenary Method church, the chimes in the tower of the church rang out "My Country, 'Tis ot' Thee," and at an other |H>int a hundred and titty ;?irls t'roin the Womnns' College, attiivd in pure white, sang the same anthem. Everywhere the party's progress was through streets packed with well dressed people, who cheered the Pres ident enthusiasticaly, and showed in every way their delight at seeing the chief magistrate of the country. As Mr. Roosevelt left he said to a re-, porter: " I want the people of Richmond to know what a pleasure it has been for me to have been with them, and to have had an opportunity of meeting them personally. If t he v like me half PRESIDENT THEODORE ROOSEVELT. I ms I like them, \s? will call it square, I and 1 'II bo satisfied." Roosevelt in Raleigh. Raleigh, N. C., Special. ? It was Roosevelt Day in Raleigh and what is said to be the greatest number of people ever brought together in North Carolina did the President honor with true Tar Heel heartiness. This city had to face a situation brought about by tlu? sudden death of (jover n<?r (.i lean's brother, but did it clever ly and well. The features of the day were the wonderful weather, the intense interest, good order and pa triotism of the crowds, the President 'a personality, his attentions to Confed erate soldiers and the boldness of his speech, in which he declared for complete govermental control of laihvavs. His character and his talk were such .is to appeal to North Car olinians as much as to any people on earth, for they dearly Jove a man a\)io do? s tilings and they were su it and sure to recognize in ihe President | one of their own kind of men. After a generous reception the j President was introdiued to the tie- 1 niendoits crowd. an lie said in part : I "1 sdnd here .it tin capital of I North Carolina to have a chauc 1o| meet so many of the sons and daugh ters your great Stute.

North Carolina can rightfully say that she pointed us the way which led to the formation of ihe new nation. In the devolution she did many memorable deeds; mid the battle of King's Mountain marked the turning point of the Revolutionary war in the South. But I congratulate you not only upon your past, but upon tho great industry and activity shown the great industrial activity shown in your Commonwealth, an industlial activity which, to mention but one ihing, has placed the State second only to one other in the number of textile factories. You are showing i:? practical fashion your realization of the truth, that there must he a foundation of material well-being in order that any community may make real and rapid progress. And I am happy to say that you are in addition showing in practical fashion you un derstanding of the great truth that this material well-being, though nec essary as a foundation, can only be the foundation, and that upon it must be raised the superstructure of a higher life, if the Commonwealth is to stand as it should stand. More and more you are giving care and atten tion to education; and education means the promotion not only of in dustry, but of that good citizenship which rests upon individual rights and u]h>ii the recognition by each in dividual th.it he has duties as well as rights ? in other words, of that good citizenship which rests upon moral integrity and intellectual free dom. The man must he decent in his home life, his private life, of course; hut this is not by itself enough. The man who fails to he honest and brave both in his political franchise and in his private business contributes t ?? ]*> litieal and social anarchy. Sell-gov ernment is not an easy tiling. Duly tho-e communities arc fit lor it in which the average individual prac tices the virtue of self-command, of self-restraint, of wise disintcrsted ncss combined with wise self-interest ; where the individual i>osscsses com mon sense, honesty and courage. Here Mr. Roosevelt dwelt at length on the great problems of the day. He spoke of the Appalachian Park, and discussed railway rate legislation in a conservative, hut vigorous way. In a way, in fact, to show that l?r means to push some definite measure. In closing he said: "It must bo underatood as a matter of course, Hint if this power in grant ed it in to be exercised with window and caution and self-real raint. The Inter-State Commerce Commission or other government otllcial who faded to protect a railroad that was in the right against any /lainor, 110 matter how violent, on the part of the public, would be guilty of a*- gross a wrong as if he corruptly renderod an im proper service to the railroad at the expense of the public. When I fav a square deal I mean a square deal; ex actly as much a square deal for the rich mau as for the poor man: but no more. Let each stand on his merits, receive what is due him and bo judged according to his desserts. To more he is not entitl?d, and less he shall not have." Great Crowd# Everywhere. Leaving Haleiuh, the Presidential party made short stops at. Durham, Orcensboro, High Point. Salisbury, Concord nnd other placff, whero the ! people wore out in great numbers to greet thorn. At Chariot to the party 1 was taken to Vance Park, where! twenty thousand people had assem bled to see and hear Mr. Roosevelt. ! On being introduced ho said in part: Spoke at Charlotte. "Mr. Mayor, Mr. President, and you, my fellow-citizens, men and wo men of North Carolina: ' ' I have enjoyed more thanl can say passing through tin* meat State to- 1 day. 1 entered your borders a pretty good American, nnd I leave them a better American, and 1 have rejoiced in I lie symptoms of your abounding, material prosperity. 1 am lien* in a! great center <>f cotton manufacture. Within a radius of n hundred miles of this city, perhaps halt' of the cotton manufacturing in the United States is done. I realize to the full, as does every trood citizen, that there must oe a foundation of material prosperity upon which to build the welfare of Stale or nation; but I realize also, as does every good citizen, that material I prosperity ? material well-beinir ? can never be anything but the foundation. It is the indis|>ensable foundation, but if we do not raif-e upon it the super- ' 1 structure of n hicle'r citizenship, then we fail in bringing (Ids to the level I which it shall and ?ill be brought (Applause). And so, though I con-; gratulate von upon what you have dor.e in the way of material growth. I I congratulate you even more upon the News Note#.

It is not so very far from here that the Meckletlhttftf Declaration of Inde pendence wait made (applause) ? the declaration that pointed out the path on which the thirteen United Colonies trod a few months later. "As 1 got off the train here, I was greeted by one eitizen of North Caro line (and I know that neither the Governor, the Mayor, nor the Senators will blame me for what I am going to say) whose greeting pleased and touched me more than the greeting of an}* man could have touched me. I was greeted by the widow of Stone wall Jackson (appleausc). And we of this united country hnve a right to I challenge as a part of the heritage of honor and glory of each American the reunion of the people ? Americans who fought in the Civil War ? wheth er they wore the blue or whether they wore the gray. (Applause). The valor shown alike by the men of the North and the men of the South as they battled for the right, as God gave them to see the right, is now part of what wej all of us, keep with pride. It was niv good fortune to ap point to West Point the grandson of Stonewall Jaekson. (Applause). "Here, as I came up your streets, I saw a monument raised to a fellow soldier of mine who fell in the Span ish war at Santiago-? to Shipp. of North Carolina. (Applause). The morning of the light, he and I took breakfast together. It wasn't much of a breakfast, but it was the only breakfast that was going, and we were glad to get it. The night before, I had no supj>er, and he and his comrades gave me out of the very small amount that they had a sand-, xvieh. In the morning they had no material for breakfast but by that time my things had come up and I shared my breakfast fit h them. That 1 was at dawn. Before noon, one of them was killed, ami the other (us we then though) fatally wounded. "And now there are here men who fought in the great war. We who went in in 'US had the opportunity to tight only in a small war, and all that we claim is that we hope we showed a spirit not entirely unworthy of men who faced the mighty and terrible days from '01 to (Applause). Every Man Has a Duty to Perform. "And now, gent linen. though we "lory in the memories of the paiil, we must remember ever to keep these memories, not as excuses for failing to do well in the past, hut as incen tives to spur us on to action. In life, every victory won inevitably brings us face to face with a new struggle. The men of one generation have to do their allotted task. If they fail t<> do it, they accumulate misfortune un to those who come after them. If they do it, it yet remains true that the men who come after them must do their task? in return. It is just as it itf with you, my escort, the men of the National Guard, the artillernlen, tho infantrymen. If there comes a war, I know I pan count on you and those like you, because the memory of what your fathers did will make you ashamed not to rise level to the demands of the new time, as they rose level to the demands of their time. (Applaiwe). Here the President turned aside and asked how much more time he had ? if it was not two minutes. Some one told him to speak as long as he wanted to, when he made the char acteristic utterance (sot to voice) that ho "would like to go on all night.") Crop of Children the Best Crop. I "And now, in saying good-bye, I want to say to you men and women that I have been immensely impress ed with North Carolina ? with her ag riculture, with her industries, but that the crop that I like best is the crop of children. (Applause) and I congratulate North Cnrolina on the children seem to be all right in quality and quantity." (More applause). At the conclusion of the President 's speech he was driven rapidly in an automobile to the station. At 7.4") the train departed for Greenville with the President 's party The Charlotte )>eople gave President Roosevelt n royal reception, ar.d he was delighted. The hospitality shown him here was unique. It looked as if the entire town had turned out to greet and cheer tho distinguished guest. This concluded the President's tour of North Carolina. His reception everywhere was most cordial, find if rosuits thus far are any indication of what are to follow, his Southern trip must hnve a most happy effect in eve rv way. i Reception to Mrs. Roosevelt. At Tharlutle Mis. Roosevelt was met bv a committee of representative . ladies of the city, headed by Mrs. Stonewall Jackson. She was escorted ' to the home of Mrs. Jackson where 'she received a number of distinguish ed ladies while the president spoke. Three Escaped Prisoners.

WELCOMED IN GEORGIA Georgia Gives a Great Welcome lo the ' Man Whom Editor Graven Declares in Speech at Luncheon to Bo Her Moct Illunrioas Grandson and 100, 000 People Are Said to Have Seen and Heard Him. Atlanta, Ga., Special. ? The Presi dent's visit to Atlanta Friday was a /barked event in *th history of the State of Georgia. lie was greeted on his arrival by distinguished citizens, and on every hand were shouted words of welcome that left no room for donbt of their sincerity. The city was in gala attire and business was practically suspended that all might greet the distinguished guest. South Carolina, in the peison of Gov i ernor llyward, added its welcome to the South in no uncertain tones. On being introduced to the vast throng present, Mr. Roosevelt made a brilliant and timely Kpecch. among many other things saying: 4 4 Here is this great industrial cen ter in this city which 5s n typical Southern city, it is natural to con sider certain phases of the many-sid ed industrial problem which this generation have to solve. In this world of ours it is practically impos sible to get success of any hind on a large scale without paying some thing for it. The exceptions to the rule are too few to warrant our pay I ing heed to them; and as a rule it may be said that something must be paid as an offset for everything wc ?rot and for everything we accomplish. This is notably true of our industrial life. The problems which we of Am erica have to face toda\ are very sei ions, hut we will do well to remem ber that after all they are only part of the price which we have to pay for the triumphs we have won. for the high position t-? which we have attain ed. If \v<* were a backward and sta tionary eountry we would not have to fiwe thes* problems at all; but I think that most of us are agiee.l that to he backward and stationary would be altogether too heavy a price to pay for the avoidance of the problems in question. There are no labor troubles where there is no work to hi done by labor. There are no troubles about corporations where the poverty of t lie community is such that it is not worth while to form confutations ?There is no difficulty in regulating railroads who.*? the resources of a region are so cw that it dors not pay to build rai'roads. There are many excellent people who shake their heads over the difficulties that as a nation we now have to fee; but their melancholy is not warranted save in a very partial degree, for most of the tliinus of which they complaii. ore the iiicvirahlti accompaniments o. the growth and greu'.neru of which w< I are proud. "Now I do not wish to be tnlsunder stood. 1 do not for one mor.r.>iit mean to say that there are not many and serious evils with which we have to grapple, or that there are not un healthy signs iu the body social and i politic; but I do mean to snv that while we must not rdiow a foolish optimsm we must not less beware of a mere blind pessimism. There is every reason why we should be vigi lant in searching out what in wrong and unflinchingly resolute in striving to remedy it. But at the same lime we must not blind ourselves to what has been accomplished for good, and above all we must not lose our heads and become either hysterical ?r ranco rous in grappling with what is bail. lie itl?o I incurred the regulation of commerce, the Chinese boycott and other subjects of vital interest to the South At a banquet, spea^mg in prompt u, he praised Joel Chandler Harris ("Uncle Remus") as one of the fore most writers of the age. He also said: The sureft way of blunting the public conscience in dealing with cor ruption is to confuse the public mind as to who is corrupt ami who is not. There arc plenty -of men from whom wc differ radically, plenty ol men of whom we radically disapprove, as to whom it is right ami necessary that we should express that disapproba tion; but beware of. expressing it in terms that imply moral reprobation. Governor H^yward Adc'.s Wclcome. Following the President 's address. Colonel Graves introduced Governor Hey ward ot South Carolina, rs the guest second in honor only to the na tion's Chief Executive. Governor Hcvward added his webome t?> the South to that already extended bv Georgia.

In closing Governor Hcvward pro posed tho healtji of Mis. Koof.evelt, already on her way to ^ ashingtoit, and tlie pretty compliment whs re sponded to by 'he entire eonp.ny standing.
