Mr.. ROOSEVELT AND THE SOUTH.
Coed That May Result from the Pro-

the White House or at Oyster Bay ever
since his nomination. and now he pro-
poses to go out and get some air. A
Presidential nominee who happens also
to he President while he is a candidate
has not the same privilt ges as his OPP
porent. BY unwritt-n law he must
preserve the dignity of the office. He
cannot swing around The circle. shake
hands with the boys and rub elbows
witt. the 'horny-handed yeomanry."
Now that the election is over Their,
is nothing wrong in M. Roosevelt go
ing wherever his fancy dictates. so long
as he does not neglect the duties of his
office And there is 10 fear of his for
getting these. He has never neglected
any duty of his life. and this char
actc"istic has been a strong factor in
aiding toward his constant string of
successes. His Judgment at times has
been wrong. but no sin of omission can
ever be charged up against him. He
always does something. whether it is
the right or wrong thing.
His first outing will he a visit to the
Louisiana Purchase Exposition at st.
Louis. He wants to see the big fair.
and probably feels also that he owes
Missouri a visit He ough. to feel
kindly TO tn" State that has given him
its electoral vote. the first time it has
gone Republican since the franchise
Was restored TO thu Democrats OF the
State after the war.
The President has also expressed the
desire to visit the South in the near
future. The South will be verv glad to
receive him and if rcports are true as
10 the purpose of the visit. will accord
him a hearty welcome. 1t is now said
mat ne holds no radical views as to
The social equality of the white and
black races and desires to explain.
The South is fair and will give
earnest and respectful attention to
whatever he may have to say on the
subject Circumstances and incidents
hav" compelled the belief that MI.
Roosevelt looks upon the South with a
certain feeling of antasOnism. and the
South would be glad indeed to learn
this is not true
His visit to the South may result in
much good. He cannot expect TO learn
much of Southern convictions and
neeGs rOr of southern conditions by
reading Northern newspapers. The
only way to study d serious question
is on the ground where the question
arises. We want Mr.. Roosevelt to
meet Southern men and Southern
women. Democrats and Republicans,
ana learn why it is that the white man
