the rabbit so far forgot his vegetarian

of the snake. Possibly he had no other

ROOSEVELT AND THE SOUTH.

Amid the clamor of abuse and oppo-
sithon which President Rooseveit's app
pointment of colored men to office has
elected from the racial prejudice OF
the south it is encourag ing to find one
democratic newspaper of influence
speaking sensibly and to the point and
rendering justice to the president S
motives and supporting the civil serv-
ice policy. The Montgomery Times
points to Louisiana. where the presi-
dent "has completely turned out the old
gang of corruptionists and placed the
affairs of the state in the hands of the
very highest type of men TO be found, y
and declares that he mas practically
done as much for every southern state,
that his work has been beneficent
toward the south generally and for its
best interests. The Times calls atten-
ton to Mr. Roosevelt's sincerity and
unselfishness toward a section that has
differed from and antagonized him and
thinks 1t is mot too r1uch to admit
that no president since the war be-
tween tnA states has IN SO large Il
measure seemed to cast aside his own
political interests in order to serve his
conception of the needs of the. civi!
service in the south"
It shows that a president anxious for
Z denomination had nothing to gain and
much 10 lose by the housekeeping
process adopted by Mr.. Roosevelt and
that federal patronage might have
been used TO gain delegates to the ma
tional convention instead of securing a
faithful administration of appointivs
offices. The reiterated charges of Mr..
Roosevelt's enmity to the south Is eff
fectuaily disposed of by the Times
when 1t says: IN certain instances
southern people may differ with the
president in regard to the politics and
the color of some of his appointees
among them, but none Of us who ex-
anime his appointments ss a whole can

What is prosperity, anyway? Well
of course it dosen't consist of soup

handouts, iddleness and penury, and no

such things may for a moment be re-
garded as conductive to prosperity.
Neither can 1t be truthfully said that
soaring in the air on suppositious
wealth or borrowed riches constitutes
prosperity. 1t is not TO be concluded

mighty combinations of capital have
been formed for the control of product
and prices that are able to domain the
commercial world. The prosperity OF
some such concerns may really be the
poverty of the common people.
Take 1t in the case of an individuals;
suppose that some man seems to be

more: has his fingers in this and that;
makes big deals which almost startle

furnIture: fine friends; cuts wide
