WHERE DOES THE SOUTH COME IN

putt.pr, DOES THE SOUTH COME IN
on saturday last the names Oh Wv

s!Thase officers include one man from

snized in this, double list Of honors eS-
scept North Carolina. The new state
5of Oklahoma gets as much recognition
ali states in the Solid South" put
together.
The Republican party does not waste
fayors on the South, because it Encws
that it cannot carry it. The Demo
cratic party does not waste fayors on
The South. because it knows that 1t can
carry 1t. AS embodying unimpeach-
able logic, this policy is doubtless
commendable. But what is there in it
for the South?

PUGNAC1oUs PEACE,

| ny tace ana ArDltratlon League
has summonsed Theodore Roosevelt to
act as Its honorary president. In his let
ter accepting this honor, Mr.. Roosevelt
writes Il most emphatically believe the
whole American people should sub
scribe to the doctrine that we should
provide adequate armament to protect
us all against aggression, and at the
same time strive for the effective
arbitration of any and all disputes.
And in another place he says: II
cordially sympathize with your an
nounced purpose to secure present pro.
lection for the nation, and at the same
time make as rapid progress as pos
sible toward permanent world peace"
These extracts reveal the famous
maxim, Speak softly and carry a big
stick" reduced to the sonorous and
soothing language Of diplomacy.
Present protection" adequate arma-
ment against aggression'-here is the
club with the spiked head, the res.st-
less spear that knows no brother.
Progress toward world peace" "effec-
tive arbitration"-thi is the half
impatient suise of meekness and hu-
mility which so lily cloaks the fero-
cious heart within. "Read them the
Golden Rule" says the President, "Sut
practice your half-Selson.' This in
oblivion OF the general truth that men
who have practiced thirst for. execu-
ton, and that a game cock does not
grow his spurs for the fun Of the
thing.
ITO be rich aggressive and Mn-
armed remarked the same authority
the other day, us to invite certain
disaster This is little franker
than the letter to the Tcace League:
for it boldly admits that "aggrcssive-
ness Is the only sort Of protection"
that Is wanted. Is it really the policy
of this country to be "asgrcssive" in
foreign relations? Where did such a
policy come from?
Put plainly, an ADEQUATE arma-
ment' is a gigantic navy. low long
the vast army OF American jlngoes
would be content to see such navy
float at anchor or ride on harmless
cruises will be determined only when
we have tried 1t. The President is
more anxious than some OF us TO see
