creature. Either he utterly. fails to re-

city churches went to see him in jail,
to prepare his mind, if possible, for his
approaching end, and he received the
visitor with indifference, almost laugh

ROOSEVEITS INAUGURAL AID
DRESS.

We publish elsewhere the inaugural
address delivered yesterday by Presi-
dent Roosevelt. The two chief features
of the address, in our humble opinion,
are its brevity and it's lack Of saying
anything. Its brevity is such that any
and all of our readers can take the time
TO read it through. To ach of them
we think the speech will ga it vas
10 us-a disappointment. It is so very
different from every other public speech
made or public document written by
Mr.. Roosevelt. 1t contains nothing
but meaningless g~eneralities, and at the
same time it shows the shrewdness, the
clear insight and the thorough acquain-
tance of the man with American poll
tics. It demonstrates the fact that he
sees in the near future revolution in
rational politics-a revolution the out
come of which he is not able to predict
with certainty-and one he is deter
mined not to place himself at this lime
III d pOSlLlOD OIL dlIdSOnlSIn.
1t must be remembered that UP to
yesterday Mr.. Roosevelt was carry
ing out or pretending to carry OFT,
under his pledge made in 1901, the pol
icy of his illustrious but unfortunate
predecessor, whose unexpired term ne
was filling. On yesterday Mr.. Roose-
Welt became the president of the peo-
pie by an overwhelming popular vote
after he had filed the executive Office
for three years, No one can deny that
during these three years there has been
a great change in the public sentiment
Of the country, especially among the
members of the democratic party OF the
south. Mr.. Roosevelt during the first
part of his occupancy of the executive
chair made himself very unpopular
with the southern people and la Of
late incurred the enmity and opposition
iE his theories and practices Of many
of the leading men of his own party.
AS the opposition to his views in his
own party increased his popularity at
the south grew. That he has rapidly
increased in popularity at the south OF
late is evidenced by the o~utpouring of
southern people to washington to wit
ness his Inauguration.
This new conditions and the prospects
produced by them of radical political
changes in the near future are, in our
opinion, the cause of The vague general
ities and the non-committal tone of Mr..
Roosevelt's inaugural address. The adj
dress is disappointing to those who ex-
pected something from him in his usual
straightforward, assertive and en-
phatic style; still it is because of this
popularity of the address it is worthy
of thoughtful consideration.

FAYETTEVILLE'S NEW RAILROAT

There seems to be no doubt that
the Raleigh and Cape Fear railroad
will be extended from Ellington to
Fayetteville. This part of the road
has been surveyed . This will be a
great thing for our city of t upper
Cape Fear" 1t will open up to her
a fine territory and will make her a
market for a prosperous section of
the state. Fayetteville is SO closely
allied with Wilmington in many ways
that any movement or enterprise
which is likely to be conducive to
her advancement or to increase her
business and prosperity brings pleas
in addition We down this way have
a selfish interest in the welfare of
Il sister city. She is somewhat
contributary to our business. Her
progress and advancement are reflect
ed in increased business at this point.
Her foreign and most Of her heavy
business must be conducted in con-
nection with the business houses Of
some kind in this city. But NE as
sure our good friends in the old town
of Fayetteville that it is no. entirely
a selfish spirit which makes us re-
joice in her prospects of additional
trade facilities. There is a large adj
mixture of pure friendship and dis
interested affection. There is a
strong tic of personal feeling between
the citizens of the two towns.
