C. May 12. 1905. l.:;t night, a little after midnight, i fsj(lMit Roosevelt returned from his i ttffks trip. It has hern a trip i -'ijur, :emarkable and unpretedenie 1 :n the history of this country. The re t mi trip was a series of continuous viti'ns. even greater than the out a.!. trip to Texas. The reception of (i.f Pirsident at the Rough Riders re rui' n in Texas was most hearty and niljii.-:ia.' tir. democrats vied with the Mi puMi'-ans in doing the r.esident honor, and in showing their admiration lor Koosevelt, the man. SIGNIFICANT- BANQUET IN CHI CAGO. TIip i)anquct tendered the President l.v the Iriquois Club, the great Demo- ratic club of Chicago, was most sig nificant and remarkable. These Demo unts, while belonging to a diffeient j-olili.al party, aie forced, in fact, to ante with and endorse many of the I'iPsi'i'Mit's most important public acts, v.hirh have appealed to the true American spirit, regardless of party, mm ocean to ocean. Resides, they have ! u moved to a greit personal admi lation for the President's courage, in t'Kiity and sincerity, as shown by his very puljlic and private act. The fact is the whole people of the United States today lift their hats to him as tlir strongest individual personality to iay for good in the whole world. THE PRESIDENT LOOKS MUCH RE INVIGORATED. The President is looking unusually healthy and vigorous and browned by his outdoor exercise and sport. He says that he has had the most enjoyable trip of his life. Summing up his trip today he said "I left Washington a faiily good American; I come back a far better American." And it is cer tain that all who saw and heard him on his trip are also better Americans. ' He's all right. This is the first time I ever saw him, but he's my man he c after." This, or some similar expres sion, was heard frequently in every crowd that essembled to greet the President from the time he started un til he returned last night from his leng tour. THAT SUNDAY AT THE LITTLE MOUNTAIN CHURCH. Probably nothing in the President's! recent ,tnp was so unique, and so far reaching in the impression that it made upon the people, not only of this coun t:y, but the whole world, as the ac count of the services In the little church in the mountains of Colorado on Sun day before last. The President, and his whele hunting party, were camped near a little backwoods church away up in the mountains where the bears and big game were plentiful. The whole party, headed by the President, went to attend the services with their hunting clothes u. all that they had with them. The reports tell us how it was noised around in the mountains a few days ahead that the President would go to the little church on. Sunday. Every man. woman and child in the moun tains, far and near, turned out many who had never been to church before. The crowd was so large that services were held out of doors, with the sides of the mountains for the walls, and the blue canopy of heaven for the roof of nature's great church. Then the sing ing and the simple sermon by the min ister. Then the call from the congrega tion for a speech from the President. Then that sturdy statement of views of the President on the duty of man to his family, his neighbor, and to his State and country. Then loud applause in approval echoed through the hills. Then the congregation crowds around the President, until he had given a hearty handshake and a word of cheer to every cne present. What a picture! It could have occurred no where else on earth but in America, and possibly no other president, save Lincoln, could have thus met these people without some loss of dignity and respect on the part of the people for the great office of President; but, on the other hand, each one left with great admiration for the roan aacj grcat lespect for his great office. THE PRESIDENT'S DENVER SPEECH. At Denver, on the return trip, the President, in his address, spoke clear and strong on the duty of Congress to control railroad rates. He said that he net only favored a law that would stop rebates and ' discriminations against Persons and places ia favor of other persons and other places, but one that would give to, the Commission the power to fix a reasonable and just rate, and that rate to go at once into effect! subject to final: determination by the courts. He said that he knew that such power m the hands et the commission might be abused. hit that toe nrecent abuses should be corrected, and that it was safer to put this power ' in the nands of sworn officers of the Govern ment, who would be freed from per sonal interest, than io have it in the nands of those who had an interest in abusing such power. He said that the Power of taxation was liable to abuse jrot that was no argument why the Government should not have the power jn? exercise tbe responsibility, THE RAILWAY CONGRESS OB JECTS. At the time the President made this Pech. there wan In w!on in this city. 3 greit Congress a congress of the leading railroad men of this country and of all the world. Some of the American railroad men here took issue with the President's speech, and it In evident that they are already organiz ing to send a strong lobby down to the people's Congress next winter to fight the President's effort to regulate rail road rates. It will be a battle royal. nd we will see which Congress the Kallroad Congress or the people's Con gress la In the supremacy in Govern mental affairs. SOME OTHHR RECENT TRIUMPHS OF THE PRESIDENT. Theolore Roosevelt won a most no table victory during the recent session of Congress. He persuaded the House to oass a bill to regulate railroad rates ind stop the discriminations in favor )f trust interests by giving rebates. High rates are an oppression to all in lusiries and rebale discrimination is i cumulative evil, in that it bestow? ravers cn one business enterprise en1 Di'nshcs another business enterprise 'v itli a higher rale. This is what pro luces "trusis." Even an excessive high rate will not produce trusts if each in M:zuy and each individual pay the same rate. The House caucus approved the President's rate and rebate bill, and ii was promptly passed by the House. This is the most effective and intelli gent action taken to crush and break up the oppressive trusts. It is to be hoped that the Senate will also pas? this, or a similarmeasure, at the next session. But, as stated above, it if clear that the great railroad systems instead of agreeing to stop such abuses and join with the Government in at tempting to enact a law fair to both the roads and the people, are deter mined to fight. We think they are wrong. We think it is their duty as American institutions to join with the President in attempting to establish justice and equity between the public and the great common carriers of the nation.' MR. BUY AN SHOWS WISDOM PATRIOTISM. AND Mr. Bryan has come out in an inter view endorsing the President's positior on tbe i ail road rate and rebate ques tion. This is to Mr. Bryan's credit, but it is to be regretted that only a very few Democrats in Congress have s'.iowr any disposition to follow the lead of the President in Uiis Important matte the most important matter befon Congress in a quarter of a century. Thf action taken by the President in thif matter is the most aggressive, patriotic nnd important position taken by t President in the interest of the wholr public since the days of Andrew Jack son. THE PRESIDENT'S WONDERFUL RECORD. The President is not only provia? himself a Napoleon in politics, but his broad patriotism, backed by marker? wisdom and courage, each day is im- 'essing all the people more and more. If the election were to take plice again tomorrow the President's" majority would be at least a million more votes than it was last November. THE VICTORY OVER THE BEEF TRUST. Onlv recently the Supreme Court of the United States, in an unanimous de cision, sustained the President's con tcntion that the Beef Trust is an ille gal and oppressive combination. Thif action should have been taken on be half of the American public long s:nce THE INVESTIGATION -OF THE GREAT OIL TRUST. Besides, the President has already begun an investigation into the rneth ods of the Standard Oil Company. Thif is one of the greatest and most pow erful of all combinations in the United States. The Standard Oil Company if not protected or helped, directly or in directly, by the tariff, and the same is oractically true of every other trust. V small individual enterprise can reap benefits from protection the same as great trusts. The tariff does not dis criminate between one concern and another concern in the same business, but tbe roilroads do, and it is this dis crimination by the railroads that breaks up some one business enterprise md bnilds another, into a great ana powerful trust. The Standard Oil trust has been created solely by railroad re bates against its competitors. - We cannot say that we blame tne Standard Oil Company for taking ad vantage of such, opportunities it is human nature, and there are few who would fail to utilize such an opportu nity when it was presented to them. The same is practically true of the railroads. How can we blame them for making rebates if it Is to their ad vantaee to do so. when the public does not protest, or when Congress fails to pass a law to stop the evil. An investi gation has also been begun as to the methods of the American Tobacco Co. The result of the present investiga tion, will no doubt lead to the enact ment of some law that will stop evils 'omplained of, and, at the same time, be fair to the public and to these and similar aggregations of capital. OTHER NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS. These great triumphs for good gov ernment and progress foilow close on the 'heels of the President's victory in the Panama Canal matter, Cuban reci procity, the settlement of the great coal strike, and the dissolution of the great Northern Securities railroad trust. And these are only a few of the many brave wholesome, and patriotic acts of our great American President. Could Mr. Bryan have accomplished half so much had he been President? y ' SOUTHERN REPUBLICAN PATRO NAGE MACHINES. . It seems, that the President has de cided to give the Southern Republican patronage machines a vigorous shaking up. The Presidenfvldently knows that these patronage machines, which 'con trol the so-called Republican organiza tion in so many Southern States, are the curse of' the Republican party in the South, and the real cause that pre vents the party from growing in that section. - The Republican machine in many of the Southern States, and in many coun- (CONTraTBp 02 FOFBIB PAGE, ) - . . - . . .. . IN OPEN MARKETS Ships and Materials For the Canal Are to Be Bought HO JOBBERY WILL BE TOLEKATED A Howl is Expected to Follow, But Secretary Taft and the Executive Committee Decide That the Money Consideration is .Too Great to Be Ignored. Washington, Special The executive committee of the Isthmian Canal Com mission has decided to purchase in the markets of the world the material and supplies necessary for the build ing the Panama canal. This important decision was reached with some reluctance, because it was appreciated by Secretary Taft and tho executive committee that there would surely be a great outcry from two great interests in this country, the producers of material and the ship owners if the purchases were not lim ited to the American products. But it was decided that the money consider ation wa3 so great that it could not be ignored, for it was held that in some cases fully fifty per cent, more would be charged for material needed in canal construction than the same goods could be purchased for in Eu rope. Chief Engineer Wallace, for in stance, .showed that two ships, in ad dition to those running between New York and Colon, and owned by the Panama Railroad Company, were ab solutely necessary to carry the food supplies and material needed for the work. No American ships could be bought at any reasonable price, and whenjt came to buying ships, Secre tary Taft said that while he could buy two of 6,000 tons ships in Europe for $750,000, it would cost $1,400,000 to build ships here. As to material needed for canal con struction, the committee decided that by reserving to itself the right to pur chase in the world's markets, it would at least oblige American manufactur ers to bid against their foreign compet itors if they wish to sell goods to the commission.

A nsval action within a few days is regarded as likely in well-informed naval cir cles. Admiral Rojestvensky and Rear Admiral Nobogatoff joined forces May 10. There is reason to believe that nit ed fleet will proceed no: th ward immc diately.No delay was necessary for the purpose of coaling or cleaning Nebo gatoffs ships, as his division made a stop for this purpose tetore entean? the Straits of Malacca.

NORTH CAIOLIXA C80?S Conditions as Give Out by Depart ment of Agriculture. The week ending Monday, May 15, was characterized by very warm, sul try weather, frequent and la places ex cessive rains, and some very severe lo cal thunderstorms with destructive winds. Tbe mean temperature for the State averaged nearly 76 degree, or 8 degrees dally above normal, with the highest temperature exceeding 90 on two or three days. Between the show era there was abundant sunhine and warmth and moisture favored rapid growth of vegetation. Showers were frequent; in the central southern por tion of the State there was generally altogether too much rain, soaking the soil, keeping the water courses full, and entirely preventing. the most nec essary work of tbe farmer at this time, the cultivation ef rapidly grow ing crops The most severe local storms occurred on the evenings of tbe 10th and 12th over Wayne county, Har nett, Johnston, Wake, Alamance and Guilford, and in the west in Ruther ford, Davie, Alexander, Surry and Ire dell. In these much damage was done to land and crops by washing rains. and high winds blew down many for est and fruit trees, fences and barns. Damaging hall occurred in Wayne county. Over most of the extreme eastern and northern counties the rain fall was moderate and all conditions very favorable. In many counties farm work was en tirely prevented this week, the culti vation of crops, which have become very foul, has been seriously delayed. and also tbe late planting of corn and cotton. Dry weather is needed. Crops are flourishing, however, growth hav ing been very rapid,' though many fields are in danger of being smother ed by the more vigorous development of grass and weeds. Much cotton has still to be planted; the germination of seeds has been very rapid; chopping is under way generally and good stands are assured, but many fields are very grassy, and need work, but the soil is too wet; as yet very little corn has been planted on bottom lands, cut and bud worms are damaging corn on low lands. Ex cellent progress in transplanting to bacco was made this week, but in many important counties the land was unready is too wet to be prepared now. while the plants have grown so rapid ly as to be in danger of being ruined before they can be set out Planting peanuts is advancing favorably. Wheat, oats, rye, and spring oats are all heading, nd are generally fine, though some damage to wheat is re ported by hessian fly; rust has appear ed in wheat, caused by warm, damp weather. "Grasses and clover are ex ceptionally fine. Irish potatoes are exceptionally fine, but the potato beet le has appeared and is damaging the crop in some sections. Sweet potato slips are being transplanted. Truck crops are doing well; shipments of strawberries are now diminishing in quantity. There will probably be a fair crop of apples, but blight is begin ning to cause some injury to fruit Tar Heel Topics. It is announced that Prof, w r. nid- dick, professor of engineering at the a i m - figriciururai ana Mechanical college, and seven members of the senior class of the college have been engaged by. a Charleston syndicate to survey 300,000 acres of timber and agricultural lands in Jones and Onslow counties, to which they have acquired title under grants issued by the State more than one hun dred years ago. There will be three surveying parties, made up entirely of the faculty and students of the Agri cultural and Mechanical college. The worK win take about three month3. They will live in tents, moving their camn from day to dav. Professor md- dick and seven seniors have left to Vgin their work, ane eteht others from the junior class will join the party im mediately after commencement. In this way they will earn enough to pay their expenses In the college next year.
