Opinions may differ as to the wis.
dom or the expedlency Of Mr.. .Roose:t
,yelts economic proposals: there will
b. no doubt as to the ends aimed at,
or as, to the means by which he woul,i
attain his ends. The President is a
thoronghgoing nationalist, as well as
"a firm believer In the efficacy OF state
action to accomplish social and eco.
nomic reforms. On almost every page
of his message may be found some sug.
eestion for what he calls extension
OF federal activity" His plans for
the regulation of railroads and OF in.
;dnstrial corporations through ieder.
al incorporation law are familiar to
the public. Mr.. Roosevelt entertains
no tonbt as TO the existence of federal
power to charter such corporations,
eni his conviction that the legislation
lie proposes would benefit railroad AMI
other corporations is equally pro-
nolnced.

have sprung from too great an cfface-

suggestions as to. the regulation Of
railriads and trusts, the enforcement

DC disappointed by the message. They
are all there. Mr.. Roosevelt is still
for widely extending and vigorously ex-
crting the powers OF the federal gov

GOOD MANNERS"

Under the above heading Char
ity and Children says some very
appropriate things. In moving
about with the public one sees
many things that suggests to
the passer by the hog" in men,
also a close observer will not
fail to see the rather obscure
gentlemen. Possibly there was
a time when men had less regard
for others, or possibly it may be
that we are living in such a pro-
gressive age that men have nc
time to devote to the other fell
low, but we have never seen a
man any the worse for being the
true gentlemen, nor have we
ever seen an occasion when the
true traits of gentlemanly nature
in a man were not manifested.
There are some that will offer
this or that excuse for the actions
of certain men, but always have
we been able to know a gentle.
men from the other species OF
man. and We ever expect to.
The following words of Editor
johnson are worthy of consider
alton.
mo word was ever more a.
bused. perhaps, than the wore
politeness. We all remember
the Charlotte gentlemen" WHIT
is serving a term in the peniten
tiary for murder. The rea
gentleman has no reason to tas
himself. Good manners are
learned at home in the family
relation. The fellow who i!
churlish with his sisters hut il
exceedingly and distressingly po'
lite to other girls, has not the
real thing at all-it is simply
veneer. True politness is a thing
Of the heart, anyhow, and spring:
from unselfish regard for the
rights and feelings of other peo'
pie. The polish that is acquired
in college is all we'll enough in
its way, but back of it all must
be that fineness of spirit that
distinguishes the real gentleman
from the rough rider. 1t is q
thing that can be cultivated, u
be sure, but the principle must
be within, and il cannot grow
except in gentle nature. Bows
and smiles and genufexions are
not necessarily the sign of 20
likeness; but a warm and gentle
heart has a language that every
body can understand.
