No mail was ever accorded such
a welcome and greeting as was
tendered Col Theodore Roosevelt
in New York, 4:he second largest
city in the world, on tiie 18th
day of June, on his return from
a trip to Africa and other for-
ei^ lands, to his native state
and country. New York city's
physical capacity was taxed t-oits
utmost to furnish space for the
many military and civic organiza
tions thatpai^ed the streets and
kept step to music rendered al-
m»c every conceivable kind of
band, while vast crowds of peo-
pie pressed against each other
and made the welkin ring with
their cheers
It has been said of General
Grant that he had seen in the
course of his life more men than
any mortal man known in history.
As commander of the army of the
United States in the time of the
Civil War he had seen millions
of men. duiing his two terms as
President he had seen tnany mill
ions more to say nothing of thoise
he saw while on his trip around
the world. Grant at one period
in his iife also enjoyed the dis-

It is beyond any hmnati ken to
know the mind Tlieodore
Roosevelt, .whether or not he has
political aspirations beyond see
ing the reforms and, policies in
augurated by himself for the bet
terment of the American people
carried out. However it should
be plain to the most obtuse mind
that if Mr, Roosevelt would only
consent to be the ^ndidlate of
hi^ party in 1912, he would not
only secure the nomination, but
would be triumphantly elected
President again. It may li>e, and
it is the opinion of many wise
ones that Col. Roosevelt does not
care to accept the presidential
chair the third term, and will
throw all his influence towards
nominating and electing Presi
dent Taft to a second term. The

There is work enough to do in
this country to solve the problems
that lie before us, and Mr. Roose
velt has been singularly fortunate
in the gifts he showed for point
ing Out these problems. Will he
have the power or the opportuni
ty to help in solvlngthem for us?
That is th^ question. If he does
not, then June 18, 1910, will be
the high water mark of his ca
reer.
AacAiier Mikado Song.
The conttnuing success of the
revival of the opera “Mikado" at
the Casino Theatre, Broadway,
N Y. has led the New York
World to publish another Mikado
song. This time it will be “The
Moon and I/' one of the sweet

lived for over twenty years.

Aboat all the consolation the
old Democratic ring in Wake
county can get out of their de
feat is the fact that they carried
the home towns of the newspa
