President Roosevelt reached the
heart and the brain of the South in
his recent addresses to the people Of
that section Of the country. The
president rose above little party DIFF
ferences and prejudices and the peo-
pie went along with him. The
southern leaders, who let Perry Bel
mont exploit them at St. Louis last
year, have not yet recovered from
the jolt the people gave them on
election day, and the president does
not seem to have forgotten how, the
people down in Dixie tried to make
his last election unanimous.

If Des Moines has no morning re-
publican paper, as the standpatters
contend, about half the counties in
the state have no weekly republican
paper. The standpatters and the
so-called gold democrats should flock
by themselves and then every sup
porter Of predatory wealth would be
in one bunch.

The South etfaced political differ
ences and welcomed President
Roosevelt as though he had been a
long lost son. The President may
not be great author, but he is one
Of the smoothest political managers
in the country, and in-as-much as
he is right more than half the time
the country has reason to rejoice over
his conquest Of the south. Next
winter he will need votes to over
come the congressional agents Of the

titled that he received $1.00 per

RUSSIA Is FREE
White Given Power to Form a
Constitutional Government
With a Responsible Leg
islative Body Elected
By the People.

If the dispatches from Russia are
true, one of the greatest events of
the century has taken place in that
country during the past few days.
The government of the country has
been changed from that of an auto
cracy, in which the people had no
voice, to a representative govern
ment.
If the Russian people have won
their freedom, without wading
through blood for it as the French
people did, it is one of the greatest
victories ever won by a people in
this or any age.
White is one of the greatest, if not
the greatest man of his age, and no
man ever had greater opportunity
than he now has within his reach.
