ROOSEVELT RETURNS,
President Arrives In Washington
 and Goes to White House.
TO UNRAVEL MONEY TANGLE.
Tells Nashville Folk That Panics In Stock Market Will Not Alter His Course-Does Not Believe Financial Troubles Due to His Policies.

Washington, Oct. 23. - President Roosevelt arrived here this afternoon and proceeded at once to the White House. The president is quoted as being much concerned over the fnan- cial situation in New York and will do what he can to restore credit and confidence and prevent the spread of the panicky conditions that even con- servative bankers admit exist in the financial center of the country.
 The president delivered three ad- dresses in Nashville. He visited the tomb of President Andrew Jackson and was entertained at the Hermitage, the home of Jackson, before returning to his special car.
 To an audience that packed the Run van auditorium Mir. Roosevelt said:
 Will Not Alter His Course.
 q want to see the process of gaining wealth by successful dishonesty stop ped, and the man of property, the man of great means, will do well to turn and in the loftiest way back up a re- turn movement for reform. A rational movement for such supervision and control over the use the accumulation and abuses of the great fortunes will if not eliminate at least minimize the evils of which I complain.
 "Such a movement as that in which we are now engaged is not in the least undertaken with any yindictive pur- pose. It is undertaken to cure evils and to prevent their recurrence. If the beneficiaries of these evils were to suc- ceed, which they will not do-they will not succeed in stopping the movement it will merely mean that in a very few years it would break forth again, and by that time it would be in the control of men who would legislate with a vindictive purpose, who would legislate and act as executives with the desire to hurt and damage the men at whom the movement is aimed.
 "There has been trouble in the stock market-in the high financial world during the last few months. The state ment has frequently been made that the policies for which I stand, legisla- tive and executive are responsible for that trouble.
 ''Now. gentlemen, these policies of mine can be summed up in one brief sentence, they represent the effort to punish successful dishonesty.
 CT box hoI any material effect in bringing about the present trouble, but if they have it will not alter in the slightest degree my determination that for the remain ing sixteen months of my term these policies shall be persevered in un- swervingly.
 Turned on the Light.
 "If to arouse civic manhood in our nation it were necessary to suffer any temporary commercial depression I should consider the cost but small. All we have done has been to unearth the wrongdoing. It was not the fact that it was unearthed that did the damage. All I did was to turn on the light. l am responsible for turning on the light. but am not responsible for what the light showed. It is impossible to cut out q cancer without making the pa tient feel for few days rather sicker than he felt before
 No material well being can save this nation if it loses the lift toward higher things.
 Il will permit neither the demagogue upon one side nor the reactionary on the other to drive me away from the course or policy which I regard most vital for the well being of this nation. And the thing most important to re- member is that that policy has two sides. It would indeed be an evil day for this nation. it would indeed mean the beginning of the end of. our na- tion's greatness. if We ever permitted in this republic to grow up spirit which would discriminate against the honest man who achieves business sue cess"
 So enthusiastic was tlp greeting which President Roosevelt received in Chattanooga that for ten minutes it seemed as if some of the 20.0O0 per sons would be killed in the mad rush to the rear platform of the train on which President Roosevelt was stand ing. The enthusiasm of the crowd developed into a forward rush in which women were trampled upon and men found it difficult to keep on their feet.
