Home Again From His Jdunt
In the Great West.

President Roosevelt arrived at
Friday afternoon, from
his trip to the Pacific, thoroughly
tired, but greatly pleased with his
trip
The people of Washington gave
him most hearty reception.
He was gone over two months, and
travelled over 400 miles by rail, be-
sides several hundred miles by stage
on horseback, not an accident mar
red the journey. Not five minutes
delay was occasioned during the
whole trip on account of train condi-
tions, and the schedule adopted be.
fore the party left Washington was
carried out with military precision
Rarely was the train late in reach
ing its destination, notwithstanding
it passed through the flooded district
il Iowa. Not a member of the p; rt,
was seriously i'll.
During the IS days that the Presi
dent spent on the road he made %
speeches, and had it not been 70
Secretary Loeb's firmness he woul'
have had more than double that mum
ber.
One of the remarkable features o
the trip was the nonpartiianship dis
played in the reception of the Pres
dent everywhere he went.

man and wife who abandoned a city

country. "How to Grow Cherries"
and "Bee-keeping for Pleasure and

"How to Build a House-boat" and a
"a House-boat for Two Thousand

for people of moderate means. The

Special Privileges to None.

In his address to citizens of Butte,
Mon, Wednesday, President Roose-
welt put into a few words the plat
form upon which he has stood since
his succession to the presidency. He
made it plain that neither the rich
nor the poor must expect special
privileges at the hands of a govern
ment for all the people. This extract
from his informal speech is particu-
larly significant:
This is not and never shall be. a
government of the plutocracy or the
mob. 1t is, as it has been and as it
will be, a government of the people,
including alike the people of great
wealth or moderate wealth, the peo-
pie who employ others, the people
who are employed
''while all the people are foolish ii
they violate or rebel against the law,
yet the most foolish man in this re.
public is the man of wealth who com
plains because the law is administer
ed with impartial justice against OF
for him.
whoever he may be or whatever
his offence, if it is an offence against
the law it must be stopped and, il
need be, punished"
In these words the president sum:
the true American views on the ques
tion of illegal combination of capital
He has given substantial evidence
already that his convictions are no,
for the purposes of display.-O. S
