AT THE CHARLESTON EXPOSITION I ; , , . 1 I ' , ' 1 w. i I President Theodore Roosevelt olina. He paid a high tribute to the Confederate soldier and rejoiced in the faet that this was again a united coun try. Touching upon the Philippine ques tion he defended the policy of the gov ernment with regard to islands, saying there was "more warfare -about the Philippines in this country than there was war in the Philippines them selves." He advocated giving Cuba a better chance than our other possessions. In regard to corporations, he expresstd the belief that they ought to be regu lated by law out not diserminated against that they ought to be regu lated and not persecuted. He said: ."It is to me a particular privilege to speak here in your beautiful city. My mother's people were from Georgia; but before they came to Georgia be fore the Revolution, in the days of co lonial rule they dwelt for nearly a century in South Carolina, and there fore I can claim your state as mine by inheritance, no less than by that stronger and nobler right which makes foot of American soil in a sense the property of all Americans. "Charleston is not only a typical southern city; it is also a city where history teems with events which link themselves to American 'history as a whole. It was here that the tremen dous, terrible drama of civil war war was opened. With delicate and thoughtful courtesey you originally asked me to come to this exposition on the birthday of Abraham Lincoln. The Invitation not only showed a fine generosity end manliness in you, but also emphasizes what hardly anything else could do emphasize, how com pletely we are now a united people. The wounds left by a great civil war. Incomparably the greatest war of modern times have headed and its memories are now priceless heritages of honor alike to the North and to the South. Those were Iron times and only iron men could fight to its terrible fin ish the giant struggle between the hosts of Grant and Lee. To us of the present day and ito our children and children's children, the valiant deeds the high endeavor and the abnegation of self shown In that struggle by those who took Dart therein will remain for evermore to mark the level to which we in our turn must rise whenever wur nation's need may come. "AVhen " four years ago this nation was compelled to face a foreign foe, completeness of reunion became in stantly and strikingly evident. It was ny good fortune to serve unaer an ex Confederate general, gallant old Joe Wheeler, who commanded the Cavalry at Santiago. In my regiment lueie certainly were men whose fathers had served in the Souther, as there were men whose fathers had served .in ine Northern, army. Among the captains there was opportunity to promote but one to field rank. The man, who was singled out for this promotion because cf conspicuous gallantry in the field was the son of a Confederate general anl was himself a. citizen of this the Palmetto State; and no American cm- cer couiu wisn to mnicn - side a more loyal, gallant ana aosu lutely fearless comrade than my form- One of the most Important things a druggist does Is puttin t. up prescriptions. ; There la no drug f tore where this feature has more scrupulous attention than here.

President r I B. WHEELER. Sec A Treas. Krti i. m m . -A u, -mm t ij m er captain and major, your fellow cit- lzen, Micah Jenkins. A few months ago, owing to the enforced absence of the governor of the Philippines, it be came necessary to nominate a vice governor. I nominated an ex-Confederate general, Luke Wright of Tennes see. It is therefore an ex-Confederate who now stands as an exponent of this government and this peopre in that great group of islands. "The progress made under Wright and those like him has been marvel lous. In fact a letter of the general's the other day seemed to show he considered that there was far more warfare about the Philippines in this country than there was warfare in the Philippines themselves. "You have made particular effort to have your exposition get into touch with the West Indies. This is wise. Events for the last four years have hown us thait the West Indies and the isthmus must in the future occupy a far larger place in our national policy than in the past. This was proved by our negotiations for the purchase of the Danish Islands, the acquisition of Porto Rico, the preparation for build ing an isthmian canal and finally by the changed relations which these years have produced between us and Cuba. "We have rightfully insisted upon Cuba adopting toward us an attitude differing politically from that she adopts toward any other power; and in return, as a matter of right, we must give to Cuba a different that is a bet ter position economically in her rela tions with us than we give other pow ers. This is the course dictated by sound policy, by a wise and far sight ed view of our own interest, and by the position we have taken during the past four years. We are a wealthy and powerful country, dealing with a much weaker one; and the contrast in wealth mokes it all the more our duty to deal with Cuba as we have already dealt with her, in a spirit of large generosity, "Our astounding material prosperity, our sweep and rush rather than the mere march of our progressive mate rial development, have brought grave troubles in their train. We cannot af ford to blink at these troubles any more than, because of them, we can afford to accept as true the gloomy forebodings of prophets of evil. There are great problems before us. They are not Insoluble, but they can be solv ed only if we approach them in a spirit of resolute fearlessness, of com mon sense and of honest intention to do fair and equal justice to all men alike. We are certain to fail if we adopt the policy of a demagogue who raves against wealth which is simply a form of embodied thrift, foresight and intelligence; -who would shut the door of opportunity against those whose energy we should especially foster, by penalizing qualities which tell for suc cess. Just as little can we afford to follow those who fear to recognize Jus tice and to endeavor to cut it out be cause the task is difficult or even if performed by unskilled hands danger ous. "This Is an era of great combina tions of both labor and capital. In many ways these combinations have worked for good; but they must work under the law. and . laws concerning them must be just and wise or they will inevitably do evil; and this ap plies as much, to the richest corpora tion as to the most powerful labor un ion. Our laws must be wise, sane, healthy, conceived in he spirit of those who scorn the mere agitator, the mere inciter of class or sectional hatred; who wish justice for all men; who recognize the need of adhering, so far as possible, to the old American doctrine of giving the widest possible I The Law of Kindness Cannot be better exempli fied than by a gift of some Choice Piece of g Jewelry J 14k - - JW Nothing would be more ap- J 43 predated for a wedding pres- ! ent. or merely for FRIENDSHIP'S SAKE ARTHUR M.

Washington, April 9. Gross abuses In the government Philippine trans port service are revealed in the report submitted to the House by Secretary Root in response to a resolution recently passed in which are set forth re sults of official investigations made- at San Francisco during the past 12 months. It is shown, for instance, that the transport Meade, though 27 years eld, was purchased for four hundred thousand dollars and that re pairs subsequently made cost the government over half a million more. All reports seem to agree that these abuses were the result of a lack of method sn the part of subordinates there being few charges affecting any official's Integrity. One result, however, was tire enforced resignation of Captain Bar neson, marine superintendent Of the transport service. In transmitting these reports Secretary Root said the publication of such matter was gener ally unadvlsable, but that its transmission to the House was best for the public interest. v.

Laws not to be administered either in the inter est of the poor man or the interest of the rich man. They simply are to be administered justly, in the interest of Justice to each man, be he rich or be he poor, giving immunity to no vio lator whatever form violation may as sume." With the conclusion of the exercise at the auditorium, the presidential party was tscoiied to the West Indian build ing; from there they went to the South Carolina building and made a tour or the great buildings in the court or pal aces. Everywhere the President was vocir- erously cheered and it was with evident pleasure that he presented the swora to Major Jenkins. It is estimated that sixty thousand people crowded the streets and cheered the President as he went alone: the line of march. TAR HEEL TROOPS MAKE FINE SHOWING AT CHARLESTON (Special to The Citizen.) Kxposition Grounds, Charleston, S. C, April 9. No regiment from North Carolina ever made a better display than did the Tar Heel troops today. The President looks well and from the reviewing stand smiled pleasantly. For the North Carolina boys he removed his hat. while the regiment passed. Governor Aycock was escorted to the hotel yesterday, where he reviewed the regiment here as his guard of honor. While the troops waited at the depot for him a dray team, frightened by the band, threw its driver to the pavement, killing him.

C, April 9. The House Democrats in conference last night failed to reach an agreement as to a general policy regarding the Cu ban relief bill. The effect is to leave each Democrat free to vote as he chooses on the bill, which is a further indication that the measure will pass by a substantial majority. Various propositions of amendments to the bill were discussed by the conference; but after three hours of talk these were all tabled and the conference adjourned without further action. HOWLAND.
