Special to the Caucasian. Washington; D. C, Nov. 15, 1905. Th; recent elections are a great tri !mt. to the capacity of the people for self government. They show that .while the people uniy for a time stand corruption and boss rule, vet that when they are onct n roused that they will fearlessly and inteliuently rebuke and drive froir jM.wer every wrong doer, whether Re publican or Democrat. Great Moral Significance. In short the recent elections have no Hlilical significance as far as par ties are concerned, but they are ol the irreatest moral significance. Thej tend to civic virtue and.bctler gov ernment. These; elections condemning bosses frrafters and corruption is the re sxnse of the people in upholding President Roosevelt's clean, fearless wholesome administration. The President's Remarkable South em Trip. The President's remarkable South- eru tour Las completed a circuit ol the whole country. Since Air. Roose veil lias been president he has been i: oven- State and territory in the un ion. On every trip . that the Presided has taken, north, east or west, in th pat, he has had remarkable ovation: hut none. of them has been jqual i this remarkable tour through th Southern States. The President waf born in the east and could not helj from knowing the northern and east ern people. Before he was presiden' he spent many years out west as i ranchman and as a hunter and ther lie got thoroughly in touch with th western spirit. lie learned the west ern people and they learned to knor him and to admire him extravagant ly, so it was natural that the Pres: dent would not only be most cordi ally received on a western trip, br he was sure to say those things th? would put him in close touch with th masses of the people. He knew ho to talk to them, but it was not sur posed that he would ever know inti mately the Southern people, ever though his mother is a Southerner and he is therefore by blood haP Southern. - Bitter Abuse and Prejudice Overcome. It will be remembered that durirv the last campaign Southern politi cians of the type of Vardimau oi Mississippi, Davis of Arkansas anc Simmons of North Carolina, whos ideas of running a political canrpaigr were to array race and sectional pre judice, did everything in their powe: by abuse and misrepresentation t( prejudice the Southern people agains' the President. Their abuse was vil lanou3 and their cartoons and mis representations were most outrage ous. To a eertain degree they did suc ceed in inflaming a great many South ern people with bitter hatred am prejudice, but be it said t6 the credi of the brave and sturdy yoemanrj of the south that in many section? their villanous methods only parth succeeded. Even'before the last cam paign the masses of the' people had begun to believe in the honesty, - in tegrity and patriotism of President Roosevelt. Such was their faith in the man, their belief that the princi ples for which he stood were correct and that he had the courage to main tain them, that in the State of North Carolina, at least, a thousand Demo crats refused to be stampeded and browbeaten by their political bosses and voted for President Roosevelt while voting for no other Republican. But since the, last campaign each day the people have grown to admire and believe in Roosevelt more and more. The People Rebuke the Politicians. Th remarkable , demonstration of cordiality, approval and admiration which the masses of Southern people showed the President on the recent trip at every. point was no doubt, a surprise to the President himself, but it was, on the other hand, a greater astonishment andsurprise to the poli tical bosses and politicians that know nothing higher than to cry "negro" as a campaign issue. The immense outpouring of the peo ple to greet their president astonish ed and dazed the politicians at every turn. The people of the State of Mis sissippi so resented the conduct of their governor, which they knew was unjust to the President7 and which I they felt had rnvont',i t and his party from stopping in their Mate, that it is said that they went by the ten thousand on trains to New Orleans m order to greet him there. Governor Davis of Arkansas had giv en out in an interview that he would not receive the President, and he no doubt thought when he gave out this interview that it would help him in his campaign for the United Stater Senate, but he wa so surprised and dumfounded by the great out pourinr of the Southern people to greet the President that he changed his mine md was on hand at Little Roek tc welcome the President as Governoi of the State. The Meaning of the Great Ovation There has been much speculation imong newspapers and politicians a t0 the meaning of this great ovation which probably surpasses anything jefore seen in the history, of this oi iny other country. Its meaning h not hard to find by those who desin : know the truth. Briefly it may b said : First, That the great masses of th jeoplc are heart and soul with th. President in his effort to correet th .Teat and growing evils from whicl :he people suffer at the hands o: ransportation companies. Thej enow that rates in many cases ar ery much too high and they knov hat rebates and discriminations hav roken up individual businesses, have ut a blight on certain towns anc ections and have built up others They know that these evils have beei erpet rated by tremendous power to .reat for any one to grapple with ex ept the national government. The; 'mow that these evils have produce: trusts and. combinations. They be ieve that the President has the abili y and the courage to right these evils They believe he is honest and tha; le will not waver in his great flgh o remedy these wrongs and to give qual justice and oportunity to eacl ndividual and to each section of oui reat country. This belief of th nasses of the 'people in -Theodort Joosevelt is one of the causes of thei: vonderfu! tribute to him. Second, The people are beginning o realize how they have been foole ml humbugged by the class of poli icians who have never raised thei. sands to remedy these evils but wh ave kept them in political bondage by crying negro domination." The :now that these same politicians have erved every corporation that has de ired to oppress the people. vThej ave begun to realize that this clast f politicians would traffic in and bar er away the liberties and birthrights f the people in order to secure orfieef or themselves. They know that thu lass of politicians tried to fool then nto supporting: the candidate of .Wal treet and the Rothschilds, one nam d Parker, in the last election. The now that these politicians did not ive them a good resaon why the hould support Mr. Parker for presi 'ent, but that they spent'their whoh Ime abusing and vilifying Presiden" 'oosevelt, who was their friend am vho was being fought by the same in uences that were backing Parker. Hence, the people wanted not onh o show their faith in and admiration or the man, Theodore Roosevelt, but hey wanted to deliver a stinging re buke to these politicians and falsf eaders who have so long betrayed hem. This class of Southern politicians nd the Democratic newspaper r ans who supported them in their out ageous policy in the past are today horoghly frightened at this tribute f the masses to Roosevelt and the Teat principles for which he stands, nd the people may look for these politicians and newspapers from now n each day to begin insidiously, to in luenee the people as they have in the iast, but unless all signs fail they vill never succeed in deluding the rave and intelligent masses of South rn manhood again. President Now Well Equipped Tor His Fight Tor the People. The President has announced that his will be the last extended trip le will make while he is president, le has now" been to every quarter of he country and to every State of the Jnion, and has looked the people face to face. He today unquestionably 'snows the people and the conditions in each section far better than any other man who was ever president of the United States. With this infor mation in store he will now buckle iown for the remainder of his term to try to carry into effect some of the great reforms for which he stands that will be conducive to greater pros perity and greater equality and jus tice between man and man The exeat syndicate of railroads which has been sending out literature from a press bureau to politicians and newspapers attempting to furnish ar guments against the President s rate railway bill are now getting thorough ly frightened. At first they thought they could bring pressure to bear up on Roosevelt to get him to hold tip. Having failed in this, they started their literary bureau and their paid organs and hirelings are daily fur nished with paid editorials to try to mislead the people. The Railroad Trust Plans a New Line of Tight. . They made a special effort totry to get the South prejudiced asrainst railroad rates by national legislation by appealing to the same .old' race prejudice. They aid that it would rob the States of right and power to run Jim Crow cars. Until the Pre ident took his trip South it seems that they were satisfied that this argument would enable them to win mt in the South. They arc now frightened and they are looking for mother tack and while they are look Jig for it here comes Senator Mor gan, of Alabama, the nestor of the Southern Democratic politician and tatesman, who comes out in a long md lobared interview, trying to give -easons why he will not support the .Resident's rate railway regulation ill. He says that an effort by the government to regulate rates would e in violation of the eonstitutin and w it seems that an effort will be nade to get every man who is at heart igainst the people and with the cor wrations in the South to at once take ip this hobby and hide behind the ry of State rights. It State rights cannot protect the eople from this kind of abuse, or if tates rights stand in the way of it, hen states rights come to be state vrongs and national wrongs. But his cry will not fool anybody ex cept those who want to be fooled, it is a slander upon our forefathers ind a falsehood out of whole cloth o charge that there is a clause in our constitution that will prevent the eor ection of any great-' wrong or in jus ice that now exists or may exist. There is not a line in the constitution that prohibits railway rate or the emulation of trusts, and there not be ng any positive prohibition against uch legislation, then clearly congress ias the right to legislate under the reneral welfare clause of outside of t. But in this connection it should e remembered that there is a clause n tbc constitution which makes it the luty of congress to regulate com nerce between the States. How can congress regulate commerce between ":he States except by regulating the neans through and by which com nerce is carried on? That is trans oortation. So, instead of there being my thing in the constitution against ate regulation, there, is a clear and positive declaration in favor of it, ind very member of congress when 'ie takes the oath to support the con stitution, takes an oath to support iny bill or measure that is necessary o regulate commerce between the States in the interest of justice and ill the people and it w just such a neasure as this that the President is trging. . . Hardware Associations Endorse the Railroad Rate Bill. The National Convention of the Hardware Associations, which was in session here last week passed a strong resolution endorsing the Presi ient's policy to pass a law to stop rebates and discriminations and to regulate railroad rates to a basis. There was a strong rairoad body here trying to defeat the passage of the resolution, but they failed. The Hard ware men are squarely with the Pres ident and against trusts. The President is considering plac ing all deputy internal revenue col lectors under civil service. A Great Fire in Birimgham. Birmingham, Special .Fire totally destroyed the five-story building on Twentieth street of the Mcore & Han dley Hardware Company. The build ing was erected at a cost of $75,000 and the 6tock was valued at $175,000.

A very ser ious accident occurred on the yard oi rhe Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad. A young negro named Henry Jenkins, water boy for the Blades Lumber Company, while in the discharge of his duty passed be tween two ears, going to the milL'witl water. For some reason he stopped and the shifting engine backed ti couple other cars, Henry was caught between the bumpers.- His left side was badly crushed- Father and Two Sons Must Face The Gallows. Valdosta, Ga., Special. The sup rtmt onrt of Georsia has affirmed the lni(-mR of the lower court in the case of the Rawlins men eonvicted of the murder of the two Carter children near here, J. G. Rawlings, the father, and two of his sons. Milton and Jesse, must go to the gallows, while, another son. Leonard, must serve a me sen- tence in the penitentiary. James Davis Broke his leg. Lynchburg, Special. James Davis, aaed 72 years, a well-known 'citizen of this city fell -down" a flight of stairs in his home and broke his right leg.

Kuoxrille, Temu, Special. A meet ing of coal oerators of Tennessee and Kentucky wes beU h?re at which forty leading mines f this scetior. were represented. Their meetings were secret and definite action was delayed on the Esch-Townsend bill, for which purpose the meeting was called, until after a meeting t Louis ville, Ky., which will be held there by the coal men of the northern end of the district. It is the plan to se cure a representative committee from the two sectional meet i tigs, and hend the same to Washington to apjear be fore the Senate committee and set before them their objections to the Esch-Townsend bill. A pcition drawn up recites the belief of the coal ope rators that the demand for new rate legislation is the outcome of failure of some of the common earners to impartially apply the published tariff to all shippers, by the granting of rebates, concessions from tariff rates either directly or indirectly. The pe tition further recites that the Pres ident is right in demanding the stop page of 11 rebates, expresses the be lief that the Elkius law effectively remedies the rebate question when properly enforced, and urges the pas sage of legislation necessary to pro vide the proper machinery for the effective stoppage of rebates of what ever character arising from the fail ure to obse!ve impartially the pub lished rates of railroads. "Any leg islation," recites the petition, "that will radically disturb the prevailing conditions will inure to our injury by destroying the elasticity of present rate-making methods, and as far as coal rates are interfered with at all, local monopolies will bo created by law, which present methods of rate making make impossible." The pe tition recognizes that there are evil3 to remedy, expresses te belief that the Esch-Townsond bill "will not fur nish relief and prays for a hearing. Killed by a Train. Reidsville, Special. Richard C. Hall, employed with the double-tracking force of tb.3 Southern Railway, was struck by fast tran No. 36 Sun day afternoon near Stokesland.

Cofessed Large Robberies. New York, Special. Confession to the robbery of $100,000 worth of gems from fashionable New York homes in the last two years was made by Harold Prescott a painter. His profit on pawning the jewelry, Pres cott said, was but little over $o,000.
