MIR. ROOSEVELT'S REITEllATION.
Whether Mr.. Roosevelts principles
Lstu practices have met with universal
approval or not. none have doubted
his courage and we believe that as
nesday evening none will hereafter
doubt the honesty of his Intentions.
Mr. Roosevelt has been incorporate,
unwise and frequently destructive. He
has labored under antagonisms that
have amounted to obscssions, and, IN
his desire TO rectify very real wrongs,
he has frequently gone far beyond
the bounds of propriety and wisdom:
but in the main his political life has
stood for the re-establishment of hon.
esty at time when the American
people needed honesty more than any
other attribute on earth, and the eX-
ample of his life may already be said
to have made an impress upon the ma
tional conscience that Will take rank
among the great awakenings of our
nation.
Now that Mr.. Roosevelt has estab-
lished beyond peradverture that he
will neither work for the nomination
nor connive at its being thrust upon
him. many of his errors Will be over
looked, and much of his rashness will
be forgiven. He has been supremacy
happy in selling and securing his repn
tation at its height for not Washing

land when his reputation and
achievements are measured in the colo
fight OF history they will not be
stained with the vanity, ambition AM
il,firmity OF purpose that must have
attached to him had he pursued any
other course.
Now that Mr.. Roosevelt has shown
his appreciation of that fact, and has
definitely Withdrawn from any ques-
ton of further desire for election, the
mex, service he can perform is to let
the American people choose their Own

Without in any way belittling or

THE RAILROAD SLAUGHTER, HERE,
AND ELSEWHERE.

AND ELSEWHElsE.
Despite the protests with which the
press OF the country is spasmodicaly
filed, the slaughter of innocents by
American railways shows no sign of
abatement. On the contrary, it increases
appallinsly from year to year. The
special accident bulletin" just issued
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion gives the bloody figures. There
were Sl,2S6 railroad casualties during
the twelve months covered by the
report. OF these more than 5000 were
fatal. In 1906, 1896 casualties We're
reported i,235 of which were fatal.
! This is an increase of 1880 in the
| number OF persons injured, and 7I5
| in the number Of the killed. And none
| of these figures, be 1t noted includes
| persons killed or injured at crossings
or while trespassing upon the rail-
roads right of way.
How little excuse there is for this
i terrible bloodshed is amply shown by
i the record of railroads abroad. The
! figures, which are given US by writer
4 in the Worlds Work, are for the year
1908, tho latest comparative statistics
available. In that year the continent
tai railroads carried 6,66l,s59 passen-
gers safely for every one killed, and
The railroads OF the United Kingdom
J, carried 7,oS9,614 for every one killed.
/ The United States railroads in the
+ same year killed one passenger out OF
every 1,957.4A3 carried---almost exact
!, ~ four times as many as the British
IL roads. In the matter OF injuries the
European roads were still further
|, ahead OF us. The continental lines In
jured one out OF every hSs,lol pas
!, sengers, the British lines one out OF
ri every 350,2ll, and the American lines
i one out Of every Si,i9i. To ride on

BUSINESS AND SOCIETY,".
II was recently remarked in these
columns that the jamestown EXPOSE
ton was injured by the malevolence Of
sectionalisnl. by way of reply. all un-
known but considcrate correspondent
has forwarded us a clipping from a
Northern newspaper. with the reminder
that IL we would give 1t only cursory
reading we should find in it the cause
OF that sectional malevolence which
we alleged. and to which our unknown
correspondent confesses.
The article Enclosed is from the Pitts
burg Gazette-Times, and its author is
Erasmus Wilson. Esq. whoever that
gentleman may be. Mr.. Wilson COM
plains that Richmond Is still the CAPT.
tai of the Confederacy. and that our
people are disposed to impress all
Northern visitors with the fact and rub
It In. In evidence Of this. he says that
our hospitality always prompts us to
take them to the new and imposing
monument to Jefferson Davis" and in
Inmates that we actually dare to point
to it with pride base rebels and
traitors that we are. after this" he
proceeds. come monuments tablets
and memorials galore, without ever
Union or national emblem
And worse than all, Sin one of the
hotels near the depot visitors are con-
fronted with two Confederate flags
crossed, and not sign of the national
colors anywhere to be seem
These manifestations of sedition.
privy conspiracy and rebellion are
mainly "bamed on the women, many
of whom proudly boast that they are
rebels still"-as though rebellious wo-
men were ever still-"and in no way
try to hide their dislike for Yankees"
Here is abundant cause. to be sure,
for sectional malevolence at the North.
How could Northern patriotism fail TO
be offended at such rank treason in
Richmond?
But it develops further along in Mr..
Wilson'S article that not so much Is
the Northern heart fired by our treason
as Its pride Is piqued by the alleged
fact that Yankees are away below
par in Richmond society" Richmond
and the South are accordingly warned
that such exclusiveness in our society
is keeping Northern capital away.
Capitalists are not disposed" says
Mr. Wilson, ito send their money where
they are not welcome themselves"
This is a grave situation. and South
ern society must reform or starve. 1t
must crook the pregnant hinges of the
knee" to all rich Yankee visitors. that
thrift may follow fawnng."
| But, joking aside. what nonsense
this man from Pittsburg is talking!
What arrant knavcs the men of Rich
mond would be were they ashamed OF
Confederate history and of the monu-
ments which have been erected here
to the Confederate braves. If that
We're our temper we should have the
contempt, as well as the prejudice, of
the North, and we should deserve 1t.
AS for the rest, II is ludicrous to say
that there is sectionalsm in Richmond
society We are democratic people
and when men and women are pre-
sented in the social circle we ask not
whence they come, but what they are.
If they are worthy we welcome them
If they are unworthy we reject them
and in either case. whether they hail
from the North or the South, the Eas,
or the West.
