Was Heartily Endorsed.

Whereas we heartily endorse the
action of President Roosevelt in the
bold and manly stand he has taken
to eliminate the race question from
the body polite of this country, and
in recognizing the 'manliness in man
wherever found regardless of race or
color; and,
Whereas, he has declared he will
not shut the door OF opportunity upon
any good man merely upon the ground
of race or color and
Whereas, we endorse the wise posi-
tion he has taken in behalf of DR..
Crum, of Charleston, S. c.; and
Whereas we commend him for his
bold and courageous stand in behalf
of law and order and the position and
investigation to protect Mrs. Minnie
Cox, postmistress, in her lawful, vest
ed rights; therefore, be it
Resolved, That in our president,
Theodore Roosevelt, we have a man
who will be known in history as a
ripe scholar, a sincere philanthropist,
an ardent and consistent lover of lib
erty and defender of the right.
Resolved, AS has been said of an
other in his efforts to establish liberty
in America, that he has given a free
construction to the original constitu-
tion for the purpose of securing right
and justice to all who were within it's
jurisdiction, and the powers of a con
stitution may well be construed liber-
ally in the cause of right and justice,
but they can never be too much cir
cumscribed in the service of wrong
and oppression.
Resolved, therefore, That we heart
lily endorse President Roosevelt and
the bold and manly stand he has taken
in behalf of the Negro race, and a
broader citizenship built upon high
character and good capacity and re-
cogniZing the fatherhood of God and
the brotherhood of man."
A number of earnest and eloquent
addresses were made in support of
the resolutions, short speeches being
made by Rev. S. j. Collins, George P.
Riley, d. A. Moody, H. P. Lawhorn,
Attorney Lawrence Sledge, E. w.
Payn, Miss Mabel G. Walker, Mrs.
Viola Rudd, Mrs. Thompson, Paul
Ury, Lewis Chase, Mr.. Simmons and
Mr.. Stallworth. Much enthusiasm was
manifested throughout the speaking.

The visitors in the city on the
Fourth were given good exhibition
of the dispatch with which our fire
department answers an alarm. A
visitor was sitting in the park and at
the same time he saw the fire in the
barn ON Colorado avenue the fire bell
began to ring. Out of curiosity he
took out his watch to- see how soon
they would get there. 1t was just
three minutes according to his state
ment until they had heavy stream
ON the fire. This is exceedingly quick
work and shows that the fire boys are
ON theri mettle and ready at all times

James f. Hall and Miss Orphia l..

ed in marriage on Saturday last by
Joseph p Sweeney. The young people
were attended by a large party of
young folks. who came with them to
see them united as man and wife.
Judge Sweeney wore his most taking
smile for this occasion and it being
the Fourth of July, he tied the knot
as tight as possible. The young pair
were equally happy with the judge
and when they left the presence of
the court there could not have been
any two happier people in Mesa
county.

orator must be ordinarily man of

the result was that the people who
were at the Park Saturday afternoon
were treated to delightful speech,
based upon the day and the event
celebrated.
The speaker was introduced by

friend. 1t was at once seen, after a
few sentences had come from the lips
of the speaker that the large crowd

masterful address. He began by
reciting the history of the immortal
document that gave us our liberty.
The causes that led up to its adoption,
the reluctance which the several states
accepted the proposition to sever the
bonds that held them to the mother
country All these events were force
full and in perfect sequence as to
dates leading up to the adoption of
the constitution. placed before his
audience.

growth in mercantile affairs. the re-
suits of the work of inventive genius

perfection of tools and machinery and
the accomplishment of one man today
in comparison to what he could do
twenty years ago.
The speaker then turned his atten-
tion to the rapid requirements of for
tunes in the last few years, their use
and abuse and the ills that might be
expected to arise from their acdui-
istion, if the people did not restrict
legislative action, which made these
fortunes possible.
The speaker then in rapid succession
paid his compliments to trusts, their
evils and correction, the labor ques-
man and also the rigths of those who
employ him. The question of public
officers and the chicanery and thievery
He spoke of the relation of the
public press to the people and said
that it must be honor bright to obtain
and hold the confidence of the people.
All these matters were dealt with
in no uncertain terms and with a
broad mindedness and ability which
Immediately gave evidence that the
speaker was man of broad and catho-

minded time server.
In conclusion the speaker deliver ed
the following splendid peroration:

army life came to me at Fallen Timber.
