Washington, October Z5.-it may
be that the Presidents Southern
blood has something to do with the
oordislity and enthusiasm with which
he is being received in the cities OF
the South. He is resting at 81. An.
gustine today, after having received
splendid receptions last week ct Rich.
mond, Raleigh, Charlotte, Atlanta,
Jacksonville and other points. The
fact that the President hes % much
Southern a8 Northern blood in bis
veins 10 sosroely realized by the aver.
ego citizen, yot suoh ie the case.
While his father 9as Northern man,
his mother was o Georgisn, and the
hours which tie President spent ct
the old homo ct keswell, Friday, re-
vi7ed sender msW cries OF the gentle
woman who eas his mother, end muet
have appealed to bis nature more
strongly thsn shy other incident OF
the trip.
President Roosevelt told delega-
tion from Nashville which called ct
the White House recently to invite
him to visit their city on bis Southern
trip. that the men OF this country
who were closest to his heart were
those who had worn the blue ir the
great conflict between the States, and
that those who had worn the gray
came next. He has demonstrated his
| sincere love for the Confederate SOL
dier by appointing many Of them to
Office, some Of them not even OF his
| political ,fsith. A son OF Con. Jeb
Stuart, the celebrated Confederate
csvalryman, was made postmaster ct
Charlottesville; Thomss Jonathan
jackson Christian, q grsndson Of
Stonewall jackson, has beer. appointed
/ to West Point, the President soy ing
when he made the appointment that
he wanted stoneWall jackson in the
American army. These are only j.,
few Of the appointments which the
President has made-to show that so
far 40 he is concerned war ie over.
indeed, ms ha5 ehowu IL meay, -sye
that the Confederate record man has
may be valuable asset, when can.
didate for an appointment. And,
strange to say, there is no voice Of
protest raised al tue North. ....
