BUSY DAY FOR ROOSEVELT
MADE TWELVE SPEECHES YES
 TERDAY IN SOUTH DAKOTA.

Confined for Most Part to the Tariff and to the General Prosperity of the country-President Accorded n Cor- l dial Welcome at All Stopping Places. Aberdeen, S. D., April 6-President Roosevelt to-day traversed South Dako- ta and made more speeches than on any other day during his present trip. He began with two speeches at Sioux Falls this morning and ended his twelfth speech this evening at Aberdeen. The speeches were confined for the most part to the tariff and to the general prosper ity of the country. In all his speeches to-day he followed closely the lines of his former addresses on, these subjects. The president was accorded cordial welcome at the different stopping places and at many stations where the train did not stop the crowds gathered and cheered as the special train sped by. One feature of the, day was the large number of children in the various au- diences and the president referred to them several times, saying that he was glad to see that the stock was not dying out.
 The president had as his guests during the day Senators Ktttredge and Gamble and Representatives Martin and Burke, the South Dakota delegation in con- gress. They left the train at Aberdeen.
 At Tulare, the president departed from his usual custom, and descending from his car, shook hands with the peo- pie gathered at the station.
 Yankton was the first stop after the train left Sioux Falls. To the multitude at Yankton the president spoke on the tariff and the qualities of good citizen ship, saying:
 ''It has been real pleasure to see you and I can sum up all have to say to you in just couple of phrases. You
 need wise laws. See that you get them.
 You need honest administrations of the laws. See that you have it. But do not make the mistake of thinking that any law or any administration of the law can take the place of fundamental quail ities that make a good individual citi-
 zenship and make a good nation, the
 qualities of honesty, or courage and of good common sense"
 At Mitchell the president made the longest address of the day. His au-
 dience was large and his speech was frequently interrupted by applause. Here he discussed the work of individ- 1 uals and the important part they play | s,, nf l can lift up a man if he stumbles," he said, but if he lies down you cannot ! carry him. If you try to do so it will
 not help him and 1t will not help you. 1 So, fundamentally, 1t must rest upon yourself to win success. As said, law
 can do something, wise legislation, wise administration of. the government can
 do something. If you have had laws 1 badly administered, they will spoil any prosperity. It is easy enough to get a bad law, but to get good law it is not 1 easy. It is easy to sit outside and say how the man inside should run the ma-
 chine, but 1t is not so easy to go inside and run the machine yourself.
 This prosperity to which we have attained has been reached under ser 1 ies of economic moves included in a sys- 1 tenn. through a carrying out of certain ! ideas in the currency and in the tariff. 1 We cannot afford to reverse the system. Improvement can be made in it. In the 1 tariff, for instance, schedules are not sacred and as the needs of the nation change and shift it will be necessary to
 change certain schedules to meet those | shifting needs"
 The other stops of the day were made
 at Woonsocket, Scotland Tripp, Parks 1 ton, Alpena and Redfield.
 There is a possibility of the presidents
 spending a day in Deadwood S. D. He l has made conditional promise to Cap-
 tain Seth Bullock. who will travel with him as far as Billings, Mont, that if
 the snow is too deep in Yellowstone
 Park he will leave there one day earlier
 than he had intended and will spend a
 day at Deadwood. Bullock has prom ised the president a good time and is
 planning a regular cowboy publication. The president is scheduled to arrive at
 Fargo, N. D., at 4:40 o'clock tomorrow
 morning, but he will not leave his car until 9:30 o'clock. At, Fargo the presi- dent will deliver one of the longest
 speeches of his tour. He will spend to-
 morrow in North Dakota, and vii enter
 the Yellowstone Park Wednesday after | noon.
