plfiidi.l Southern tour of
Iv.-idcnt Uoosevelt began with his
M-it to Richmond ou Wednesday.
Tl...:is:mds upon thousands of patri

iiivr the tremendous throng present,
Mr. Koosevelt, among many tactful,
patriotic and thriling things, said:
' I trust I need hardly say how
.i :it is my pleasure at speaking in
tin.-, historic capital of your historic
t;:le; the State lhau Avhieh no other

t" the leadership of the nation; for
-i) the honor roll of those American
worthies whose greatness is not only
1r the age, but for all time, not
hly f.r one nation for all the world,
"u this honor roll Virginia's name
-lands above all others. And in
riveting all of you, I know that no
one will grudge my saying a special
word of acknowledgement to the vet
f rans of the civil war. A man would,
indeed, be but a poor American who
mild without a thrill witness the
way in which, in city after city,
in the North as well as" in the South,
u every public occasion, the men
who wore the blue and the men who
wore the gray now march and stand
shoulder to shoulder giving tangible
proof that we are nil now in fact as
well as in name a reunited people, a
people infinitely richer because of the
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 the Republic, and that great
audience cheered every allusion to the
valor and self-devotion of the men
who followed Lee as heartily as they
hcered every alusion to the valor
and self-devotion of the men who
followed' Grant.
"The wounds left by the great
rivil war have long healed, but its
memories remain. Think of it, oh,
my countrymen, think of the good
fortune that is ounl That whereas J
every other war of modei'n times has
left feelings of rancor and bitterness
to keep asunder the combatants, our
great war has left to the sons and
daughters of the men who fought on
whichever side they fought, the same
right to feel the keenest pride in the
great deeds alike of the men who
fought on one side and of the men
who fought on the other. The proud
self-sacrifice, the resolute and daring
courage, the high and steadfast de
votion to the right as each man saw
it, whether Northerner or Southern
er, these qualities render all Amer
icans forever the debtors of those
who in the dark days from 'C.l to '65
proved their truth by their endeavor.
Here around Richmond, here in your
own State, there lies battlefield after
battlefield, rendered memorable by
the men who counted death as but
a little thing when weighed in the
balance against doing their duty as it
was given them to see it. These men
have left us of the younger genera
tion not merely the memory of what
they did in war, but of what they did
in peace.
"Great though the meed of praise
is which is due the South for the
soldierly valor her sons displayed
during the four years of war, I
think that even greater praise is due
to her for what her people have ac
complished in the forty years of
peace which followed. For forty
vears the South has made not merely
a courageous, but at times, a desper
ate struggU, as she has striven for
tcoral and material well-being. Her

While discussing at some length
the duties of citizenship, the Presi
dent said:
"This government was formed
with as its basic idea the principle
of treating each man on his woith
as a man, of paying no heed to wheth
er lie was rich or poor, 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 past, and some
of them flourished long, but fcooner
or later they fell, and the cause most
potent iti bringing about their fall

was in almost all cases the fact that
they gi-ew to be governments in the
interest of a class instead of gov
ernments in the interest of all.''
At the banquet in the evening,
speaking impromptu, Mr. Roosevelt
said:
"Gentlemen, I cannot sufficiently
express to you my deep appreciation
of the way in which you hav greeted
me to-day. You cannot be nearly so
glad to see me as I am to see you.
Let me say once more what I said
in my formal address. Think of the
good fortune that ,is ours, as a peo
ple, in having, each of us, whether
we in our own persons or through
a ii. . n ii..
our ancestors wore tne oiue or ine
gray, the proud right to challenge
as our own all of the valor, all of
the self-devotion, all of the steadfast
adherence to right, as God 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 '61 to ,65."
At one point in the line of march
the President shook hands with Giles
B. Jackson, president of the Develop
ment and Jamestown Exposition
Companj-, and addressed a gathering
of negroes as follows:
Remarks to Negroes.
"I want to congratulate j-ou upon

American to congratulate the repre

dustrial interests of this city. All
they have dune in that way, Mr.
Jackson, means a genuine progress
for the race. I am glad, as an
Ameirean, for what you 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 w an enviable one. Yoj col
ored men who show in business life
both ability and a high order of in
tegrity are real benefactor?, not only
f your race, but of the whole coun
try." During Mr. Roosevelt's progress
through the city he showed social in
terest in the school children lined up
to greet him, the whites on one hide
of Broad Ureet, the blacks on" the
other. He was much amused at an
other jHint by the apjiearanee of a
Huge stuffed bear, over which was the
the only one in Richmond." He
laughed heartily at this. As tli! pres
idential party passed the Centenary
Method church, the chimes in the
tower of the church rang out "Mv
Country, 'Tis of Thee." and at an
other ioiat a hundred and fifty girls
from the Womans' College, attired 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
xjrter : '
"I want the people of Richmond to
know what a pleasure it has been for
rue to have been with them, and to
have had an opportunity of meeting
them personally. If they like me half
as I like them, we will call it square,
and I'll be satisfied."
Roosevelt in Raleigh.
Raleigh, N. G, 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 the sudden death of Gover
nor Glenn's brother, but did it clever
ly and well. The features of the
day were the wonderful weather Ihe
intense interest, good order and pa-
7 a i
triotism of the crowds, the President's
personality, his attentions to Confed
erate soldiers, and the boldness of
his speech, in which he declared for
complete goverrnental control of
railways. His character and his talk
were such as to appeal to North Car
olinians as much as to any people on
earth, for they dearly love a man who
does things and they were swift and
sure to recognize in the President
one of their own kind of men.
After a - generous reception the
President was introduced to the tre
mendous crowd, an he said in part: '
"I glad here at the capital of
North Carolina to have a chance to
greet so many of the sons and daugh
ters of your great State. North Caro

short months by the representative
of the thirteen colonics ussembied in

rightfully ay that she pointed m the
way which led to the formation of the
new nation. In the Revolution he

battle of King' Mountain marked the
turning point of the Revolutionary
war in the South. But I eongratuhte
you not only upon your pant, but upon
the great industry and activity born
the great industrial activity tdiown
in your Commonwealth, an industlial
activity which, to mention but vnv
thing, ha placed the State second
only to one other in the number of
textile factories. Yon are showing
in practical fashion your realization
of the truth, that there muft be a
foundation" of material well-being in
order tlmt any comraunit' may make
real and rapid progress. And I am
happy to say that you are in addition
showing in practical fashion you un
demanding of the great truth that
this material well-being, though nec
essary as a foundation, can only he
the foundation, and that upon it must
be raised the superstructure of a
higher life, if the Commonwealth is to
stand its it should stand. More and
more you are giving care and atten
tion to tducation: and education
means the promotion not only of in
dustry, but of that good citizenship
which rests upon individual rights
and upon the recognition by each in
dividual that 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 be decent in his
home life, his private life, of course;
but this is not by itself enough. The
man who fails to be honest, and brave
both in his political franchise and in
his private business contributes to po
litical and social anarch v. Self-gov
ernment is not an easy thing. Only
those communities are fit tor it in
which the average individual prac
tices the virtue of self-command, of
self-restraint, of wise disintersted
ness combined with wise self-interest;
where the individual possesses 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, andf
discussed railway rate legislation in a
conservative, but vigorous way. In a
way, in fact, to show that he means
to push some definite measure.
In closing he said:
"It must be understood as a matter
of course, that if this power in grant
ed it is to be exercised with wisdom
and caution and self-restraint. The
Inter-State Commerce Commission or
other government oflicial who failed
to protect a railroad that was in the
right against any olamor, no matter
how violent, on the part of tho public,
would be guilty of as gross a wrong
as if he corruptly rendered an im
proper service to the railroad at the
expense of the public. When I fay a
square deal I mean a square deal ; ex
actly as much a square deal for the
rich" man as for the poor man; but no
more. Let each stand on his merits,
receive what is due him and be
judged according to his desserts. To
more he is not entitled, and less he
shall not have."
Great Crowds Everywhere.
Leaving Raleigh, the Presidential
party made short stops at Durham,
Greensboro, High Point, Salisbury,
Concord and other places, where the
people were out in graat numbers to
greet them. At Charlotte the party
was taxen to vance raric, wnere
twenty thousand people had assem
bled to see and hear Mr. Roosevelt.
On being introduced he said in part :
Spoke at Charlotte.
"Mr. Mayor, Mr. President, and
3'ou, my fellow-citizens, men and wo
men of North Carolina:
"I have enjoyed more thanl can say
passing through the great State to
day. I entered your borders a pretty
good American, and I leave them a
better American, and I have rejoiced
in the symptoms of your abounding
material prosperity. 1 am here in a
great center of cotton manufacture.
Within a radius of a hundred miles of
this city, perhaps half of the cotton
manufacturing in the United States is
done. I realize to the full, as does
every good eitizen, that there must be
a foundation of material prosperity
upon which to build the welfare of
State or nation ; but I realize also, as
does every good citizen, that material
prosperity material well-being can
never be anything but the foundation.
It is the indispensable foundation, but
if we do not raise upon it the super
structure of" a higher citizenship, then I
we fail in bringing this to the level j
to which it shall and will be brought. gtonew8ri Jackson. She was escorted

News Notes.
The murder of Gaetno Costa, a
Brooklyn butcher, who was shot
dead, is ascribed by the police to the
Neapolitan Camorra, his four broth
ers having died by violence.

the Meckfcnbmt Deela ration of lnde
petidenee a made (appUue) th
declaration that point! ot the path
on which the thirteen 1'mt'd Colonies
trod a few months later.
As I tt off the train here, I was
greeted by one citizen of North Caro
line (and I know that neither the
Governor, the Mayor, nor the Senators
will blame me for hat I em going to
say) whose suiting pleased and
touched me mote than the gnetius
of any man ccnld have touched me. 1
was greeted by the widow of Stom
wall Jackson appleause). And we of
this united country have a riibt to
challenge as a part of the heritasre 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 fdiown alike by the men of the
North and the men of the Smth as
they battled for the ri?ht. as God
gave them to see the right, is now part
of what we, all of us, keep with
pride. It was my good fortune to ap
point to West Point the grandson
of Stonewall Jackson. (Appiaue).
"Here, as I came tip 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 fight, 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. Tho night before.
I had no supper, and he and his
comrades gave me out of the very
small amount that they had a sand
wich. In the morning they had no
material for breakfast but by that
time my things had come up and I
shared my breakfast fith them. That
was at dawn. Before noon, one of
them was killed, and the other (as we
then though) fatally wounded.
"And now there are here men who
fought in the great war. We who
went in in '93 had the opjwrtunity to
fight 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 "Gl to 'bo." (Applause).
Every Man Has a Duty to Perform.
"And now, gentlmen, though we
glory in the memories of the pas,t, we
must remember ever .to keep these
memories, not as excuses for failing
to do well in the past, but 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 oiie generation have to
do their allotted task. If they fail to
do it, they accumulate misfortune un
to those Avho come after them. If
they do it, it yet remains true that
the men who come after them must do
their tasks in return. It is just as
it is with you, my escort, the men of
the National Guard, ihe artillermen,
the infantrymen- H there comes a
war, I know I can 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.. (Applause).
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 (sotto voice) that
he "would like to go on all night.")
Crop of Children the Best Crop.
"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 Carolina on the
children seem to be all right in quality
and quantity." (More applause).
At the conclusion of the President 's
speech he wa3 driven rapidly in an
automobile to the station.
At 7.45 the train departed for
Greenville with the President's party.
The Charlotte people gave President
Roosevelt a royal reception, and he
was delighted.
The hospitality 6hown him here was
unique. It looked as if the entire
town had tnrned out to greet and
cheer the distinguished guest.
This concluded the President's tour
of North Carolina. His reception
everywhere was most cordial, and if
results thus-far are any indication of
what are to follow, his Southern trip
must have a most happy effect in
every way.
Reception to Mrs. Roosevelt.
At Charlotte Mrs. Roosevelt was
met by a committee of representative
ladies of the city, headed by Mrs.
