Hot Springs. Ark. oct. 10-The march
of progress led by Mr.. Roosevelt hit its
stride to-day. Arkansas offered tribute
upon tribute TO the colonel and kept up
hurrah that lasted from the moment
he arrived early in the morning until
he left late this afternoon.
Col Roosevelt got an ovation that has
not been surpassed in any State that he
has visited. The sentiment OF the crowd
was for him. Democrats, except Senator
JEFF Davis who sat on the platform,
cheered him as loudly as did the Re
publicans Of the State. Gov. Haskell. Of
Oklahoma, declined 10 attend.
There was only one thing in Mr.. ROose-
velts speech here to-day that stood
out as a direct political reference. At
the suggestion of several Arkansans he
touched upon the subject OF drainage
OF the swamp lands Of this and neigh
boring States. He placed himself against
the suggestions offered by President Taft
at ST. Paul on Labor Day, when he de-
clared that government dust act in this
matter instead of the individual States
Mr. Taft thought that the States should
take care of their own drainage proby
lens. This interested the folks Of this
region
Swnmps Must Be Drained
There are two things about the open
country that should be done by the gov
eminent" said the colonel. THAT is by
the representatives OF all Of US working
together. Arkansas is one of that group
of States with an enormous area Of
swamp lands Until drained that land is
worthless, and when drained it will be a
block of the most fertile land in the en-
tire nation.
"The national government must do it's
part in helping in the drainage, because
drainage is an interstate affair. Arkan-
sas, Missouri. Tennessee, Louisiana. and
Mississippi are all concerned, and the ma
tional government should render all pos
sibe legitimate aid"
There are about 100000 acres in Ar
kansas and the problem of drainage Of
these lands IS one of the most important
phases OF the conservation problems. from
the Arkansas standpoint There is some
thing of a fight going on here because
they fear that II Missouri draws off the
water from its swamps Arkansas will be
flooded 10 a damaging extent. There is
the same feeling in the other States. The
crowd here appeared to take kindly to
Mr.. ROOsevelts suggestion. He had
touched upon il IN his st. Paul speech,
but did not make definite application Of
the proposition.
A Personal Triumph.
Aside from this one point the colonel
reached nothing except his new national
ism to-day. He hammered away on that
score with his customary vehemence. But
most OF hts time was taken up with en-
tertainment of various sorts. His visit
10 Hot Springs was a visit OF personal
triumph. The governor of the State. a
Democrat, paid such long tribute to him
that he stole most OF the colonel
thunder,
The day was considered significant by
those who have watched Mr. Roosevelt
on his travels since his return to this
country from Africa. II was significant
because It Indicated that Roosevelt is a
great figure in the South and Southwest

Brsunlng May Lead Republicans.

Colonel james s. Browning, Of Roa-
noke, may be nominated by the Repub-
hcan party as candidate for Congress
to oppose Congressman Carter Glass, Of
Lynchburg.
Colonel Browning moved to Roanoke
ABOUT year ago. He went from this
county to the Magic City where he Dur
chased beautiful home and where he
now resides. He has a number of op-
lions on valuable coal properties, and
ranks high as one of the stalwart Re-
publicans of the Old Dominion, ana has
many thousands of friends in the Ninth
district whose good wishes will be with
him should he finally endeavor to wrest
che old Sixth from the ancient enemy.
AT the badquet given in Norfolk on
March S1st to Congressman C. b. Slemp
and Hon. Alvah H. Martin, Roanoke
had but two representatives, George L.
Hart, secretary of the Republican State
Committee, and Colonel Browning. and
it is said that the talk of the Coloners
candidacy had its origin there. 1t is
also said that Colonel Browning indi-

nation and make a vigorous campaign

the Democratic Congressman who now
represents the people of that district.
A meeting of the Republican district
committee will be held at an early day,
a call having already been sent out, and
it is quite probable that the convention
to nominate candidate will be held in
August some time.

While the Republican party has been
facing many unpleasant situations dur
ing the past few weeks it is emerging
from the clouds into clear sunshine and
long before the Sth of next November
it will be found that in every State and
in every section of the country there is
a united party backing up the Presi-
dent, and quite willing to rest its case
before the people upon what it has done
and upon the record of the administra-
ton up to that time.

former course but emphasizes it's dis

Governor Harmon, of Ohio, in a re.
cent interview, which was practically
an announcement of his policies and be-
lefs, has made the issue with the Dem
ocrats very clear, and it seems to be
the old issue of Democracy, which con-
sists simply of opposing everything the
Republican party stands for. Governor
Harmon on the tariff question is a prac-
teal free trader, announces that he is
for a tariff for revenue only. That
would close thousands of mills through
out the country and throw millions of
men out of work, and even if a Demo-
cratic House of Representatives should
frame bill in accordance with the
views of Governor Harmon and should
send it to Republican Senate, where
it would be quietly pigeonholed, still it
would bring about check to our pros-
perity and an anxiety in business circles
which would do untold harm. Mr.. Har-
mon might better have kept silent.
His interview shows that he is not only
ignorant on National affairs, but would
play the part of a demagogue in appeal
ing for the votes of the people to place
him in the Presidential chair. His in
terview has weakened him most ma
terially before the voters of the coun-
try, and it will no doubt have much eff
feet in defeating him for his race for
GoveFnorship in Ohio this Fall.

When Colonel Roosevelt was prepar-

of that museum of freaks known as

that the ex-President would contract

the same congenital mental sickness

These figures show that the labor in
come from the farms of the South is
nearly proportional to the amount of
horsepower utilized in the operation of

to make farming reasonably profitable
at least two good mules or horses TO the

Anti-PrUfaniy Law.

the last general assembly of Virginia
passed and it has been signed by the
Governor a bill which provides that any
person who shall, in the presence or
hearing of another, curse or abuse such
person or use any violent or abusive
language to such person concerning
himself or any of his female relatives
under circumstances reasonably calcu-
lated to provoke a breach of the peace,
he shall be guilty of misdemeanor and
on conviction fined in any sum not less
than $3.50 nor more than $500.
Not being an emergency measure it
does not become effective for 90 days
but when it does gentlemen skilled as
linguists had better be careful or it may
cost them even more per word than
Roosevelt receives from the magazines.
