"a WEEK IN THE WHITE HOUSE,

Another Richmond man has loom
ed UP conspicuously. William Bayard
Hale, formerly of this city has just
published from the press of the Put
MANS very interesting book called
"A Week in the White House with
Theodore Roosevelt" In a narrative
of the daily life of the man Roose-
velt-a portrait And if one may
judge, pretty accurate picture it is.
In it the author gives the setting and
background, the routine, the methods
and above all Roosevelt. AS an ex-
ample of what may be done in the
way of, what for lack Of better word
We must call impressionistic journal
ism the book sets a new ideal of &C.
complishment for writers.

1T WAS WISE.

The address of the President before
Newport will attract the attention Of
the country, and also that of the lead
ing powers of the world, as no re-
cent statement of his has done. He
spoke as a laymen to men who are
technical experts, but he made quite
clear what he believes to be the prop
er course for the United States to
pursue. He believes in hitting hard
or not at all. A coast defense navy
is to him an anomaly. He wants a
first-class navy because it is the best
defense nation can have. 1t is the
most valuable insurance against war
that was ever devised. We all know
what it costs to go to war, for the war
of the Rebellion was the most costly
lesson this country has ever had, and
the Spanish War was heavy remind
er that war is a most expensive propo-
sition. We have the right to say who
shall come here from abroad to enjoy
the privileges of free people, but the
best way to make that right respected
is to be ready to enforce it. When
Americans hit they hit hard, and to
be able to hit hard on the sea is the
best guaranty that other nations will
hesitate about hitting us. No fight
was ever won without hitting hard,
whether it be on the ball field, or in
| the roped arena, or on the field of
battle, or an encounter on the high
| seas, and the President is right when
he says, THE one unforgiveable of
fence is to hit soft" His address, as
we have said, is sure to attract atten
ton abroad. I'VE should scrupulous
Others" said he I'VE should put uI
with a good deal of misconduct on
the part of others. But when we dc
go to war, that war is only excusable
if the navy is prepared to hammer its
opponent until he quits fighting. Ano
you can't hammer your opponent il
you wait for him to come to the coast
and hammer you first" We should
not forget the lesson of 1865, wher
war made such terrible inroads upor
the young life of the country and the
resources of the people. The Roose
welt plan to insure us against trouble
with other nations is rational, and i
ought to appeal to the American PEG
pie who dislike war, but who arr
sometimes so placid that they fint
themselves involved in trouble tina
might have been avoided.

| n IL up IN ner trap ana Wdlteu
I<A at the curb for her father
49, to come forth from his Of
flee in one Of Chicago's tallest build
ings. The crisp, caressing wind that
came up the street from the lake put
the pink into her smooth cheeks, but it
did not disturb the brown hair that
crowned her head. Well groomed and
graceful, she sat straight and sure upon
the box, her gloved hand grasping the
yellow reins firmly and confidently.
Miss Cable looked neither to right nor
to left, but at the tips of her thorough
bred's ears. Slender and tall and very
aristocratic she appeared, her profile
alone visible to the passersby.
After a very few moments waiting
in her trap the smart young woman
became impatient A severe little
pucker settled upon her brow, and not
once, but many times, her eyes turned
to the broad entrance across the side
walk. She had telephoned to her ia

had promised faithfully to be ready at
o'clock for a spin up the drive behind

pucker made its first appearance, AVID
now, several minutes later, it was quite
distressing. Never before had he kept
her waiting like this. She was con-
scious of the fact that at least hun.
dred men had stared at her in the long
est ten minutes she had ever known
From the bottom of a very hot heart
she was beginning to resent this scru
tiny when a tall young fellow swung
around a nearby corner and came uI
with a smile so full Of delight that the
dainty pucker left her brow as the
shadow fees from the sunshine. His
hat was off and poised calamity above
his head, his right hand reaching up tc
clasp the warm little tan one out
stretched to meet it.
'T knew it was you long before saw
you," said he warmly.
Truly? How interesting" she re
sponded, with equal warmth. Some
thing psychic in the atmosphere to
day?'
"Oh, no." he said, reluctantly releas

Dear Mr.. Editor: Myself and three
other misguided and deluded young
men are camping out on some rural
route in the vicinity of Milton. The
primary object OF our mission into
the jungles was to fish but the only
thing biting at present is the mos
quito who is always on the job. Re
ferring recently TO the scarcity OF fish
| asked a farmer if the anti-seining
law was Of much benefit. He told me
he didn't know there was such law.
Now l am wondering if my rural
friend did not give me the correct
reason for the scarcity of fish. Come
out and see us-the mosquitoes need
some fresh food | guess that will be
about all. Ever Yours.
CONSTANT READER
There has been much scandal in
Winchester because the young ladies
as well as the young women, are
wearing sox instead of stoc-.that is
we shsuld say, hosiery. These young
ladies advance two reasons for dis
carding their stock, that is
hosiery. In the first place they state
there is more material in hosiery
sometimes called stockings than In
sox, making hosiery more expensive
1t is also contended that sox are cool
er than hosiery. The nerve of the
Winchester young ladies in defyine
both convention and scandal is to bt
admired-but is it wise? The Win
chester fair sex is reminded that The
saloons in Winchester caused a scan
dial and-well there is no need of re
| printing that obituary.

The members of the Salvation
Army are now in the midst of their
annual week of self.denial. The
effort is being made very largely to
support the very extensive mission.
AIRY work to which we. referred a
few days since. From the Com
mander, Miss Booth, who is the
head OF the movement in America,
down to the latest convert, the ut
most efforts are being made to
make it success, on the principle
that example is better than precept.
Such work az the Army 10 doing
needs very little recommendation
from us, and we are cure the people
of Virginia will contribute literally
to this cause. All the donations
can be sent in to the Salvation
Army, City. Meetings are held
came as usual. Sunday School at
$50 p. m. on Sunday. Salvation
meetings at night. Everybody is
welcome to all these meetiugs.
Seats free to all.

The following program is laid
down by the health officials:
Rake up the back yards and alleys
and pile up the rubbish ready for
removal by city teams.
Clean up the front yards, includ,

and the street itself.
Rake all litter and rubbish into

Dickinson Recorder: Many are the
kind words heard on the streets about
the candidacy of Alfred Blaisdell and
L. B. Hanna for congress, and why
not? Both are honorable, capable
men and thoroughly familiar with the
best needs of the state and coming as
they do-one from the west sinde and
the other from the east-can best tell
OF what is good for all sections Of the
states. What would be best interests
for one side might be bad for the
other. This being SO, if both repre-
sentatives were from the same section
OF the state there is no question but
the side not represented would be
much the loser as far as the national
congress Is concerned. Here's to

AS to the climate Mr.. Perry says
there is scarcely any snow in that
part of the country, but as there is
no thawing as there is here. the inch
or two of ice covering the ground
makes shedding very good. The air
is so keen that no one stands long on
the street. He must keep moving if
he wishes to keep warm. Mr.. Perry
thinks Bismarck will suit him for a
while yet.
