lzry Of the American people. Theo-
dore Roosevelt gave rs strenuous
and Grover Cleveland sane and
sanity. These worde have
been accepted as typical Of the
characteristics Of the two men
Whatever the president does. he IS
expected to exhibit the quality Of
the strenuous.
But If anybody expects to hnd
the strenuous element IN the Prssi-
ceufs message, he viii BE disaP-
pointed. To put It mildly the
President has descended flom the
strenuous to the sane. and to put
it more correctly he has descended
10 the sanity Of inanity. Il IS
tame message on the whole, notable
for its generzlities aud st;il more
So. as marking the change that has
come over Roosevelt since the days
when he posed as the impetuous
apostle Of reform. As a political
sermon, there are some passages
in the message which come up TO
All the requirements Of the
preachers art. The world missed
a fine preacher when Roosevelt
was called to Be a statesman.
An important admission is made
in the first paragraph Of the mes
sage. Speaking Of our national
prosperity, the President says IT IS
primarily due to the high indi-
viduaI average Of our citizenship.
taken together with our great na-
tional resources" Accepting the
assertions Of republican orators
and the republican platform. the
country seems 10 have been delud-
cd into the belief that prosperity
was due chiefly to the policies Of
the republican party. The Presi-
dent furnishes enlightenment Oh
this point.
In his treatment Of labor, capital
and corporations, the President has
made no contributions to the sub
jects. As to the corporations,
moderation" IS the keynote Of the
presidents advice. This doesn't
sound very much like the words Of
Roosevelt, the "trust-bnsting"
governor Of New York. On the
subject Of rebates the president
comes out strongly, but there was
no danger of jarriug anybody's
sentiments here as nobody attempts
10 paIliate the rebate evil.
There is some very sound talk
il the message on immigration,
naturalization and the delays in
criminal prosecutions. While the
president has said nothing new on
these subjects. hehas voiced. .thesen-
fiments Of al who have given them
any consideration.
Considerable attention is given
10 the Philippines and here the
President enlarges on the mission
ary character Of our stay in the
philippines. Apparently Ameu-
can people have organized them
selves into.a huge missionary so
ciety for the purpose Of civilizing
the Filipinos. It would probably
sound strange TO the ears Of the
signers Of the Declaration Of Inde-
peDdence TO hear from an American
President that the Filipinos or any
other people do not need indepen-
dence." But it IS fact that the
world do move these days.
The public will await anxiously
the deliverancef rom the President
on the tariff.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. May S1.-Start-

a white woman, a race riot which en-
broiled three hundred negroes and
whites ragged here for half an hour yes

Revolvers, knives. and bricks were

stabbed in back and arms; Lizzie Lang
ham, shot in left side; Iona Mentez,
shot in back. and stabbed in the back.
None of these will die.
Prior TO the trouble a disorderly spirit
had been manifested for several hours
by idle negroes, who were lOunging near
Thirty-second and wharton Streets.
Some Of the negroes were partly intoXi-
Gated.
Warning Given.
No hint OF serious disorder was given
until late in the afternoon. Two or three
white men had cautioned the negroes
TO be more circumspect in their behav-
Cor. and Gibson. who was on post in the
latter part of the day. had also spoken
to the ringIeaders.
Gradually small bands Of negroes be-
came merged. and a line OF fifty men
paraded from block to block, singing
and jeering at the whites.
Insulted White Woman.
As the line was passing the corner Of
Wharton and Patton Streets one Of the
negroes made a remark to a white wo-
man who was on the sidewalk Gibson

Before Gibson could get the man he
was surrounded by the negroes and
thrown to the pavement. He swung at
the heads Of his assaflants with his
club but the odds were against him and
he was speedily overpowered.

The sound Of the reports brought other
negroes and whites to the scene. As
fast as they came they plunged into the
fray. From curb to curb Patton Street

The negroes used knives. revolveVs, and
such missiles as they could lay their

1t is Il subject which several

1t is Il subject which several
years ago was worn threadbare,
but nevertheless, one which must
very soon demand the attention of
the citizens of this town. We
mean that Forrest City must have
a new cemetery. There is scarce
ly room in the old cemetery on the
hill side for many more bodies,
and besides, the location is bad,
and the place unsuited for the pur-
pose. A nice level, or gently slop-
ing spot should be secured, and it
should be laid out into lots and
blocks, with avenues and streets
running through from either side,
and keeper should be employed
to keep it in order. This much is
due the dead, and surely all who
expect TO be buried in Forrest City
should take an active and earnest
interest in this enterprise.
