Yesterday. Theodore Roosevelt, pres
ident of the United States. went to the
railway station, bought ticket. took q
seat in the regular train and rode out
to Red Hill in Virginia. where his wife
has bought farm for the purpose of
having more suitable place near
Washington for her children, Met at
the station by the former owner of the
farm. he mounted horse and rode
twelve miles into the country to inspect
his wife's purchase. But before leav-
ing on this trip in this unconventional
way. he had received assurances both
from Toxic and St. Petersburg that his
efforts to restore peace to the world
and stop the appalling slaughter in the
orient had been effectual.

the strongest in Europe and still would
be powerful and its free institutions
would be counterpoise for the brute
despo,ism of Russia and the militarism
of Germany, but the Scandinavian
lands have never been able to unite.
In ten centuries of history they have
never produced but two mon, Olaf and
Gustavus Adolphus, who dominated
the entire Scandinavian area. The
rest were mere meteors from Csnute to
Charles XII.
Norway and Sweden have been for
ninety years straining in the leash in
which they were united in 1914. They

Norway is the superior in its poetry

I,oosevelt-The Peacemaker.

ItOOsevelt-The Peacemakor.
The American way Of doing business
has made every crowned bead in Europe
look aghast after realizing what Pres.
ident Roosevelt did without any ifs OF
and's. He found all Europe firmly COM
mitted to ancient custumes and kingly
rules, so much so that none of them
dare open their official heads to say:
Boys, this fight has gone far enough,
-stap and get your breath and you may
x slude that it is time to quit.
s.a. lnls in a general way, is about how
President Roosevelt did it. and The
Minneapolis Journal says of the Pres
ident's effort:
The president has done nothing in
all his public career which will more
enhance his fame abroad or heighten
the admiration with which he is re-
garded by his countrymen at home
than his successful effort to bring to-
gether the Russian and the Jap for the
purpose of restoring peace. The dis.
patches from both st. Petersburg and
Toxic seem to leave no doubt that the
presidents note addressed to both the
powers urging that they open negotia-
tions for peace with one another has
produced the desired result.
The presidents note is extremely
diplomatic. It assumes the complete
ability of the belligerents to settle their
own quarrel without outside interven-
tion, no assistance to be involved unless
invited by both of them
"A great opportunity has come to our
4 PRESIDENT and he has fully delnonstrat.

"a man of peace. There are those
who have been inclined TO magnify his
aggressive spirit and make him appear
as rejoicing rather in conflict and strife
than in peace and good will. Theodore
Roosevelt has proven that when fight
ing is necessary he can fight and fight
hard, but that he is no less man Of
peace.
The impression which he has made
upon the world as man of ability. ?
man of honor, the admiration which
prevails everywhere for his platform of
square deal has, as we say, put
it up to him" to take the initiative
in q movement in which the world
everywhere will most heartily rejoice.

was in position to influence the con-
tending powers so favorably as he.

These welcomes are not given to one
class alone, but to men and women in

something worth while and have made

Such a. these the world stands ready
