Therefore, we are bound to accept bis per-
sistent expressions and demonstrations OF
friendship for our section as evidences OF
a sincere desire for our good will and pur-
pose to develop among us the broad ma
tional and patriotic spirit and the senti-
ment of unity with the rest of the country
which we ought to have. This is on the
line of President McKinley's policy"
Thus do we End history repeating itself.
Both Lincoln and Mckinley were de-
nounced for time by the political leaders
of the South and afterwards were claimed
as among its best friends. They had done
nothing to justly incur the hostility of
this section and neither has Mr.. Roosevelt.
They were champions of the broad ma
tional and patriotic spirit, which has dom
mated the present Chief Executive since
he became prominent in the affairs of the
Nation. Such men as these cannot De
and are not enemies to any section Of the
Union.
We are glad to see our Democratic con-
temporaries in Virginia acknowledging
that they have misunderstood the Presi-
dent. Our Richmond contemporary
says:
"For one, the News Leader is ready to
let by cones be by cones, to meet the
President in the same spirit of broad
Americanism, of clean purpose and earn
est desire for the unity of the country
which be manlfests and to move to make
his popularity unanimous.
Well said, nobly said, periodically
said.

WE TOLD YOU so.

Our readers will recall the fact that
during the last Presidential campaign the
Virginia Democratic press was constant in
its manifestations of ill will toward MIR.
Roosevelt. Without any reasonable or
Just cause for doing so, our Democratic
contemporaries were almost unanimous in
pronouncng him dangerous man and an
enemy to the South. The stump orators
of the Democracy made the campaign one
of bitter abuse against the President. We
told our contemporaries then that. they
were misrepresenting Mr.. Roosevelt, and
that eventually they would be ashamed Of
what they we're doing and saying. Among
those who were severest on the President
was our esteemed contemporary, the Rich
mond News Leader. We can recall many
of the harsh things 1t said about Mr..
Roosevelt which at thu time We undertook
to refute by argument and presentation OF
facts which our friends considered unan-
syerable. There was nothing in the re-
cord of the President to justify the as
sanlts that we're made upon him by the
Southern press. The Republicans claimed
that he was no enemy of the South and
that he was being sandered for political
ems. We also asserted that before a
great while Mr.. Roosevelt would be con-
sidcred by those who were abusing him
one of the best friends the South had ever
had in the Presidential chair. That
prophecy is being fulfilled rather earlier
than we expected. The News Leader Of
the 18th inst. bad an editorial, "Roose.
veIt and Us, in which it says:
president Roosevelt has no need to
cnrry favor WITH the South. He owes US
nothing and asks nothing, and as matter
of fact we have nothing TO give him.
