In a recent interview with a Washing

1.-THE result Of fhe late primaries in
Virginia pleased me exceedingly. We
shall go to work now and elect tine very
able and competent men who have been
declared the nominees of the party. and
they will be chosen by rousing major
ity. want to say. however, that while l
shall heartily support my personal friend,
Hon. Claude Swanson, for governor and
yield to none in my admiration of his
superior qualities, the Republicans. have
nominated in Judge Lewis possibly the
best gubernatiorial candidate that party
ever put toward in Southern State.
He is a man of exceptional talents and
unblemished character. and every law
yer in Virginia will testify as to the abil-
ity with which he presided over the
Supreme Court OF our State for twelve
years. Now that the primaries have been
held, it is in order to denounce the sys-
tenn as about the worst that could be de-
vised. The primary plan of choosing
men to public Office is rotten and vic
ious one. If for no other reason than that it
disquaIifies men without money. We
have just seen the spectacle of candidates
spending more in short campaign to
further their political fortunes than they
could get back from the office sought in
the way of salary for two or three years.
/ hope the defects of the system are SO
apparent that it will not much longer be
tolerated IN Virginia.

President RooseveIt's Southern Tour


President Roosevelt started on bis
southern tour last Wednesday. and has
been given an enthusiastic reception
everywhere. AT the Richmond banquet
the President caught the crowd by his
beautiful tributes to Jackson and to Lee,
and in his speech in that city he said :
THE wounds left by the great Civil
War have long healed, but its memories
remain. Think of it. oh my country
men, think of the good fortune that is
ours. Think whereas every other war
of modern times has left feelings of -an-
cor and bitterness to keep asunder the
combatants. our great war has left to the
sons and daughters of the men who
fought on whichever side they fought,
the same right to feel the keenest pride
in the great deeds alike of the men who
fought on one side and of the men who
fought on the other. The proud self-sac.
riice. the resolute and daring courage,
the high and steadfast devotion to the
right as each man saw it, whether North
erner or Southerner-these qualities rem
der all Americans forever the debtors of
those who in the dark days from OF to
65 proved their truth to their endeavor,
Here around Richmond. here in your
own State, there lies battlefield after
battlefield. rendered forever memorable
by the men who counted death as but a
little thing when weighed in the balance
against doing their duty as it was given
them to see it,.
As Mr.. Roosevelt left Richmond he
said
II want the people of Richmond to
know what great pleasure it has been
for me to have been with them and to
have had opportunity of meeting them
personally. If they like me half as
much as like them. We'll call it square
and I'll be satisfied. like the Southern
people-John Greenway here will tell you
so-and | can't express how greatly
appreciate the warm Virginia welcome ]
received today
As soon as the President left his car al
Raleigh. N. c., the singing of patriotic
songs began, 1t never ceased and rose
to its climax when the President, after
concluding his speech at the fair grounds,
led in the singing of Dixie, which was
greeted with the widest cheers.
Meeting Mrs. Stonewall Jackson at
Charlotte, N. c., the President said: MRS.
Jackson. you do not know how glad ]
am to meet you. What The widow of
the great Stonewall Jackson? Why it is
worth the whole trip down here to have
chance to shake yeur hand.
The President on Friday visited Ros.
well, Ca, the old home of his mother.
and later spoke at Atlanta. being enthu-
siastically received at both places.
At Mobile. yesterday, the President
was presented with unique gold medal
consisting of a gold bar with the words
Mobile. Ala, !" inscribed on its surface,
and below gold magnolia, the flower of
the Gulf States and symbol OF peace.
On another bar near the flower was the
inscription Blessed be the peacemak-

We spent last Thursday in good old
Frederick Clty-the city of Key, the
author of The Star Spangled Banner;
the city of Barbara Frietchie, who never
saw Stonewall Jackson, for the reason
that he did not pass her home; and the
city of Vic. Baughman, the next Cover
nor of Maryland. We were handsomely
entertained by Florist Charles Hermann
and his good wife, and found the spa
clous green houses of Mr.. Hermann well
filled with choicest varieties of flowers
for the season, and his selling room sup
piled, among other articles, with some
fine imported wreaths in natural leaves
preserved in their own colors of green,
brown, etc. At the Grea. Frederick
FairMr Hermann was awarded premiums
on all his floral exhibits. At the Monon
Laundry, which does a large business
IN Charles Town through Messrs. OFT
Bros, we found Messrs Debring & Heff-
ner enterprlslng and busy as ever. look
ing after the many details of their large
and valuable plant.
