One sin begets another. Robert

he was pleased to call "The Philoso-

The President and the South.

The Presidents address in Rich
mond yesterday may be taken as a
preface to his general message to the
South. Viewed in this light the
Southern people will undoubtedly
welcome its essential continuity and
unity of spirit with his utteranees
elsewhere. There is at all times and
in all places a hearty ring. a clear
tone, to everything Mr. Roosevelt
says that indicates honesty of pur-
pose and openness of character
traits that the Southerner prizes
above all else.
Mr.. Roosevelt was found by our
Southern friends to be bone of their
bone and flesh of their flesh, a man
after their own hearts. and the en-
thusiasm he aroused among them
may very well surprise both himself
and them. 1t Will not surprise any
one else.
1t is not a new suggestion, but il
is profoundly true, that a change of
attitude by the Republican party to-
ward the local problems of the South
would split the solid Democratic vote
of that section and give a respectable
ity to Republicanism there that would
be good for the party and good for
the South. Mr.. Roosevelt has, in all
probability, heard of this suggestion
before; his trip would be a history
making event if it should lead him
to discover not only the way to ac-
complish this change in the attitude
of his party but the means of ex-
pressing 1t in his own acts.
The Richmond people have adopt
ed Mr.. Roosevelt. Hereafter Teddy
will be dear to their hearts. Moth
ing could be better for him or for
them, and the benefit will extend to
the whole country.

steadfast adherence to the two utili-

and every other newspaper once per-
suaded to forswear elegance, TO aim
at precision and lucidity, and to be

Truly, this is most excellent! To
set the very highest standard for
style in sage advice that seems 20
condemn IT. But, seriously, the
Evening Post would, we fancy. be
the last paper to condemn genuine
style in it's appropriate use. Indeed,
all the Post has to condemn is the
laboring for style effects and the
airy arabesques of convoluted YER
bosity where the subject-matter
is foreign TO such treatment and the
thought lacks sufficient strength to
Withstand the torsion to which the
words are put.

SOUTH NEEDS LABOR.

wet weather and dry spell played
havoc with our cotton this year, said
A. w. Wall. cotton planter of Hous-
ton, Tex, at the Riggs House, today.
But in spite of the elements, there
Is good money IN the crop and the
planters have no kick coming against
the price.
The serious question that now con-
fronts the planters and the farmers
in the South is that of labor The
negroes, on whom we have depended 10
work our plantations, are slowly leav-
ing 10 the towns and cities It's a hard
matter to get all the help needed prop
erly to gather the crops. All kinds Of
inducements are offered. but even then
the labor supply is not sufficient We
want in the South a high grade of i'm
migrants for our farms. and there is
a splendid future in our section for the
foreigner who comes 10 this country
TO build himself new home. But we
do not want any OF the riff-rafr from
Europe and that class of immigrants
will find no welcome in the South But
for the thrifty German and Swede no
section of the country offers a better
opportunity.

Crimes of Violence.

Crimes of violence seem to be get
ting more and more common in the
District of Columbia. Last night p
jealous husband killed himself and
wife, few days ago a woman had
her skull fractured by her angry
spouse, and within the week certain
sections of the city have exhibited
revivals of the stone battles of the
days of the Plug -Uglies" and the
Northern Liberties
Such things can never be alto
gether prevented, but they can be re-
pressed by vigorous and concerted
action Of the police and the severe
judgments of the criminal courts.
Violence should have no mercy
shown it; it should be curbed by
prompt and severe punishment; the
criminals of the District should be
served with notice that the full ex-
tent Of the law. and that only. LII

NO GUBERNAToR1AL ASPIRATION.

Representative II. ID. Flood OF Vir-
ginia, the most prominent candidate for
the Craftsmanship Of the Demo-
cratic Congressional committee. passed
through Washington this morning. Mr..
Flood admitted that he is a candidate
for the committee chairmanship, but
said he had heard nothing of his pros
poets beyond what he had seen in tho
papers He expressed pleasure, how
ever. at the reports that he was looked
upon favorably by a number OF Demo-
cratic Congressman.
The Virginia Representative denied
emphatically that ne is n candidate for
the governorship of the Old Dominion
to succeed Swanson four yeas hence
In the first place. said Mr.. Flood.
'ft is too far ahead TO be talking about
the governorship. Moreover l have
never had any ambitions in that direc-
tion.
1T is hard TO tell at this time what
chance the Democrats will have to elect
a majority in the House next year. and
we will have 10 await the developments
of the coming session.
In my opinion there will be no tartn
legislation, and II a bill regulating rail-
way rates is passed ii Will be one wholly
satisfactory 10 the railroad people.
Matters have come TO sueh point
that Senator Elkins and th Ose who
stand with him realize that the best
thing they can do is TO frame up a
safe bill and let IL go through. They
will couch IL IN such terms as TO be
pleasing TO the people. The President
will be satisfied with il. and so viii the

selves will think they are getting what
they want, but when the bill IS closely
examined il will be found TO be safe

development OF the current campaign IN

tions are that the Republicans have
absolutely no show 10 elect Judge Lewis
