TO UNRAVEL MONEY TANGLE.

 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 finan- 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 MT. Roosevelt said:
 Will Not Alter His Course.
 "I 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 we'll to turn dhu III luC iOlliCob "uy pe'NN UP u hN 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 complain.
 "Such a movement as that in which we are HOW engaged is not in the least undertaken with any vindictive 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 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 stand, legisfa- 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.
 T doubt if these policies have had 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 perseyered in un- swervingly."
 Speaks at Vicksburg. President Roosevelt in an address at Vicksburg, Miss, said: ...... ....
 It is indeed an honor for me to be today | the guest of Vicksburg and of Mississip- | pi, and I was inexpressibly touched by | the greeting over that great arch of cot | ton bales as I came up from the boat which said that Mississippi greets her president" I should not be fit to be | president at all if I did not with all my might and main, with all my heart and l brain seek to be in the fullest sense the president of Mississippi, the president of every state in this Union. am, glad to | be here in this historic city, this city for ever memorable because of the heroic scenes in which victor and vanquished alike showed such splendid courage, such splendid fealty to the light it was giv- en to each.
 And before the civil war Mississippi sons had shown that they knew how to fight. It was from Vicksburg that a | company came of that Mississippi regi- ment which won undying renown in the | Mexican war under the gallant leader | ship of it's colonel who afterward be- came the favorite son not only of Mis- sissippi but of all the south, Jefferson Davis. And, oh, my fellow citizens. think | how fortunate we are, think what good | fortune is ours as a nation, that 1t is | possible for the president of the nation to come here today to be conducted through your national park by the surviving lieu | tenant general of the Confederate army and to feel that every instance of heroisr recorded by the monuments alike to the Union and the Confederate dead on thai battlefield is a subject for just pride to every citizen of this nation, no matter where he lives.
 And General Lee read to me that noble inscription on the Pennsylvanians monu. ment, inscription that should make the heart of every true American thrill as he reads it, "Here brothers fought fol their principles, here heroes died fol their country, and a united people vii forever cherish the precious legacy ot their noble manhood"
