denial of the truth concerning Pres
ident Roosevelt The career of this
young American is one of which all
Americans may be proud. From time
when he was graduated from the uni
versity he has devoted himself to the
public cervice. At all times he has
performed his duty with firm faith
fulness. He has already gained dis
tinction in civil life at the outbreak
of the war with Spain. His work as
assistant secretary OF the navy was
largely conductive to our sea readi-
ness for splendid deeds against the
ships of Spain. Roosevelt resigned
this office and served throughout the
war as a colonel of volunteers in the
American army. He made an admir-
able soldier. After the war he was
elected governor of New York and
thence was promoted to the second Of
fee in the gift of the American peo-
pie. His elevation to the presidency
now places upon his shoulders the
heaviest responsibility possible to an
American citizen.
There is good reason TO believe that
Mr.. Roosevelt will make a typical
American president. He practices as
well as breaches the strenuous life.
The administration of President
Roosevelt must logically be a strong
forceful and busy administration.
Democrats as well as Republicans
recognize this truth He is on the
wrong side of great questions of pol
icy but they are not all of govern
ment. The executive cannot decide
them. He does not make laws. He
administers while congress makes and
the courts interpret. The people OF
the United States believe the best
and hope the beet Of President Roose-
velt's faithfulness to the law.

STRENUOUS AMERIcANlsM.

The Republic says; President
Roosevelt unQuestionably sounded the
key note of his own character and of
the American national spirit in the
speech which he delivered before the
Hamilton club of Chicago something
over a year ago
Il wish TO preach he said at that
time. mot the doctrine Of ignoble
ease but the doctrine Of the strenuous
life; the life OF toll and effort. Of la
Dor and strife; TO preach that high
est form of success which comes, not
10 the man who desires mere easy
peace but 10 The man who does not
shirk from hardship or from bitter
toll, and who out Of these, wins the
splendid ultimate triumph"
II has been by his vigorous adher-
enoe TO this vigorous creed that The
odore Roosevelt has won for himself
so high a place as personifying the
distinctive genius of the American
people. This "a a young country and
a country OF tremendous achievements

worlds governments by virtue of IL
tanio labors. Toll has been our por-
tion and has brought its reward. our

WILL THE FARMER LlsTEN2
ATLANTA Constitution.)

ATLANTA constitutional
While the farmers OF the south are
selling their cotton crop, it might be
well to study out few figures.
On Saturday Atlanta quoted cotton
at rs cents per pound.
On the same day corn was quoted
at from rs to so cents per bushel-
with futures calling for from 10 to 20
cents higher.
Clear rib sides stood at 9h cents.
Ribs. SIS cents,
Hams, 1914 cents.
Lard, lO% to IL cents.
These articles form the staples of
the provision market. The excuse OF
the all cotton farmer has been that
he could buy these articles cheaper
than he could sell his cotton, and
that so long as ne bad a margin he
was justified
This position, of course, is not cogs
rect. The first law Of domestic econ
omy calls for sustenance. The man
who plants without regard to susie
nance is always in danger, and the
figures given above prove it. Not on
ly does the farmer have to give diff
erence Of from TO 3 cents per pound
for his supplies, but he has to add the
wear and tear Of transportation, the
loss Of time and the inevitable inter
est.
Can a man afford to raise cotton at
rs cents per pound, and trade it
with a bonus Of from l 10 cents per
pound for ribs. ham and lard?
Or putting the case differently;
one farmer raises all cotton for
77s cents. His adjoining neighbor
raises meat stuns at from s7s to IL
cents per pound. Which Of the two
get the best OF it In the trader
The cotton crop Of the south is the

should raise it as cheaply as be can,

ALFRED AND UNPoP-
uLAR EDUCATION.
(From the New York worid.)

The American Authors Society has
been wrought upon by the news of the
English agitation over King Alfred
the Great and has decided to ask Mr.
O'Brien the president of the board
of education, ITO instruct the teach
ers in the public schools Of New
York to address their pupils on King
Alfred as the father Of popular edu-
cation"
II this request is made Mr.. OBrien
win have an opportunity, of which
he will probably not be slow in TAX
ing advantage to instruct the Amer
lean Authors Society in the truth
that King Alfred had no more to do
with popular education than he had
with any of the other progressive
measures attributed to him by those
who regard mythology and tradition
as history.
Popular education is almost as old
az the human race. 1t flourished in
Greece and Rome 1t never wholly
died out on the continent of Europe.
Il appeared in England after the Nor
man conquest when Alfred had been
dead nearly three centuries. But it
was a very limited form of popular
education. Not until 1870 did Eng
land really take up with the idea, and
even today England is far behind
the other nations OF western Europe
in this matter.
Alfred was a worthy and progress
sive chief of small tribe Of semi
barbarians. AS a literary person"
he is interesting rather than import
ant. Az a political figure he is almost
wholly a myth and the little that he
did was completely wiped out by the
aonquering Danes from whom the
Normans finally rescued England.
