WASHINGTON, ID. c., Aug. IT,
"The greatest issue before the country
to-d day is the initiative and referen-
dunn" declared Senator owen Demo
crat), of Oklahoma, at the Democratic
headquarters to-day, in an interview
in which he likened the future of the
country to France before the revoiu-
ton.
Until such law Is enacted in all
the States there will be no relief from
the Influences that now Cypress the
people" he continued. I'm no other
way than by the initiative and refer
endum can an effective corrupt prac-
tees get be passed.
such an act is essential to break
the hold on the government held by
the political machines operated by the
big interests. No genuine corrupt
practices act will be enacted by the
machines because they do not propose
( to place themselves out of business.
I Unless relief is afforded by the
I adoption of the initiative and refer
I edum, conditions will continue to grow
I worse and worse in this country. The
grasp of the trusts will be extended
/ and frightened, and in the end the peo-
! ple will find that their only escape from
/ intolerable conditions viii be through
/ revolution That was what happened
( in France.

most of the land, and allowed vast
tracts to lie idle, serving as parks
and game preserves. The fact that
thousands walked the highways work

PART FOR THE SOUTH
IN AFFAIRS OF NATION
Roosevelt Praises the South for its Progress and de
clare Must Partioi pate in National Affairs.

good faith the great words of Grant:
Let us have peace.
The part played by the South In
the constructive craftsmanship OF our
nation during all our earlier years
was Of incalcuiabl weight and value.
firmly believe that the time has now
come when the South's influence will
again be felt. not only in construc-
tive craftsmanship, but in the enor-
nous field of constructive business en-
deavor. No part of our country has
seen such progress as the South has
made in the last twenty years along
material lines, and ] believe the next
twenty years will see a greater pro-
gress. For long the eyes of this ma
ton have been set steadily westward
to watch its great and typical growth.
From now on J. think the South will
share with the West in rapidtty OF
growth. This leadership will be has
tened by the completion of the Pan
anna Canal. The East has the Allan
tic and the West the Pacific: the
South, even more than the East and
West, will have the Panama Canal
and will, therefore, stand at the dis
trtbuting point of all the great oceans
of the world.
Needs People of Right Sort.
You need more people, but. like
the rest of the country. you need that
those people should be of the right
sort Feeling this way, ! naturally
sympathize most cordially with every
purpose of the Southern Commercial
Congress In it's efforts to make the
South know itself, and to make both
the South and the nation realize that
greater nation will be developed
from the development of a greater
South. In your membership no polit-
ical lines are drawn. your effort is to
strive for the advancement of Ameri-
can citizenship, and all broad-minded
men throughout the nation must hear
tily sympathize with you in what you
are doing both TO develop and in,
Grease the power OF the South and al
the same time to arouse therein q
keener national sense.

PETERSBU RG, VA, Aug. 17.--Mr-
Charles Hall Davis OF this city, chair
man of the Southern Commercial Con-

letter of ex-President THEODORE Roose-
Welt In reply to an invitation to at
tend the congress at Atlanta in the
spring OF 1911. Mr.. Roosevelt ex-
presses the hope that he may be able
to attend, and says;
More and more, the former misun-
Outstanding about the South is tend
ing to disappear, and you and your
association have set in motion force
that will have much to do with the
complete dissipation OF this misun-
Outstanding. You are working for q
stronger South. and you show your
wisdom and foresightedness in the
way you realize that this movement
for a stronger South, to be effective,
must really mean a stronger national
cohesion, for the old South of yester-
day is being changed into the young
America of to-day. Every good Amer
lean must hope to see a real solid
South, in the sense of solid business
prosperity in the South. for all good
Americans now realize that the pros
perity of any part of the country helps
the prosperity of the whole, and the
faster and stand on the most durable
foundations only when we effectively
realize that the words South. North.
East and West have only a geo
graphical Significance. | earnestly
hope that the young men of the South
will never forget the past glories of
the South, because | earnestly hope
that the young men all over America
to-day Will keep ever in mind these
glorious memories of every section OF
our common country, and that the
men of the North and of the West
will remember the South's past with
the same pride that South itself does
for the undying glory won by the
men who so NaIiantlY and with such
sincerity fought for their convictions,
whether they wore the blue or the
gray. Is now common heritage OF
all of us, wherever we dwell.
South Must Do Its Share.
This nation is thrilling with Ideals
at this very moment. and these ideals
relate to constructive work in the
future. The South must do it's full
share In realizing it, and from now
on 1t must participate in full in the
solution of all the national problems.
All OF us alike must turn to the spe-
cial problems of this age with the
courage that our fathers showed In
those heroic days to which we look
back with mournful pride.

federate uniform, stands in the halls
