INAPPROPRIATE.

If Il is possible for one republi.
can TO force democratic success in y,
1904, we are sure that the Hon. :
Theodore Roosevelt will accom- e
plish that purpose. His speech at q
Arlington on Memorial Day, May z
30th, was about as inappropriate r
as the strenuous efforts of orr 4,
neighbor, the Greenville Times, to
advertise itself and make business y
for its Office, with ITS Times Beau te
voir button scheme. There are :,
some occasions wnen partisan pol :
itics is positively obnoxious; men, q
Orial day at Arlington was one of a.
the occasions; but President koOse-
welt did not appreciate the delica- ~
cy of his position as orator of the tn
day; but understands 1t now. A.
There are some causes and senti- ~
ments that are above and beyond W
the spirit OF commercialism and n,
self laudatiOn; the purchase of
home for the INDECENT old soldiers al
of the Lost cause" should be one su
of such causes. Near old Princess
Ann court house in the 'Old Do u
minion" few days ago, several LEI
hundred men gathered together and -;
hanged the president Of the United -
States in efigy.
That speech made by President T.
Roosevelt at Arlington on Memoir
ial Day.in which he is said to have
waved the "bloody shirt" and viii tx
fed the South, was the incentive.
The stuffed figure was taken to
q nearby clump Of woods and q
rope thrown over the protrudlng tn
limb. A placard was pinned on in
the breast bearing these words:
He vilified our country for polit- OF
ical purposes. I" no
The body was then swung up
and the crowd danced around the UT
tree, singing: well hang Roose- tn
welt to sour apple tree" va
The party listened to several !"
speeches denouncing Roosevelt as toI
an agi'ator who desired to "again IN,
disrupt the cordial relations be-
tween the North and the South in so'
order to promote his political am an
billions and to defend his policy OF
determination in the Philippines"
