NO SPECIAL DEMONSTRATION
OVER HIS ARRIVAL IN THE NE
BRASKA METROPOLIS.
BREAKFAST WITH SMALL PARTY
When Roosevelt Failed to Respond to
Cheers of Crowd at St. Joseph at
Midnight, Crowds Cheer for Taft In
Retaliation.

Omaha, Neb., Sent Entering
Omaha early today without any spec
ial demonstration by the people of
Omaha, Roosevelt was escorted quiet
ly to the Omaha club, were breakfast
was served to small company
When Rooseyets train reached St
Joseph at l2:O4 this morning, there
was continued calls for a speech from
a large crowd Roosevelt being
asleep did not respond AS if in re-
taliation, the crowd then cheered for
Taft.
There were no set speeches at the
private breakfast rendered Roosevelt
at the Omaha club today, but Senator
Dolliver of Iowa did much TO entertain
the company by telling stories, illus
trating the manner in which the col
onel had been received in the west
Colonel Roosevelt added to the en-
tertainment by reviewing some of his
African experiences.
The failure Of Omaha to give the
colonel a noisy welcome is accounted
for here by a telegram sent to the
reception committee by a member Of
the Roosevelt party, requesting that
the people Go lightly" in welcom-
ing him. 1t was explained that the
strenuous life he was leading could
be eased down with advantage. For
this reason the program prepared for
the Roosevelt reception has been re-
vised so that he will have an oppor-
tunity to rest.
The events prepared for his enter
tainment tonight have been curtailed
so that he will be able to retire early.

"SUNNY JIM IS A

NOTHING TO SAY"-JUST SAY.
NOTHING TO SAY"

Guthrie, Okla, Sept. l--"iiave moth

say that Mr.. Sherman has nothing to

these words Vice President Sherman
tonight positively declined to make =

that Chairman Griscom had called on
him to decline the temporary chair

He caught the newspape" man by

The vice president has apparently
adopted the policy on his present tour
of avoiding giving utterance to any
ting relative to politics except his gen
eral remarks in his speeches. When
he was pressed to at least admit
whether he had heard from Griscom,
he merely repeated his refrain, Moth

A close friend of the vice president,
who speaks with authority and whose
identity may be guessed at lately
asked the vice president why he did
not "loosened up" to the newspaper
men.

thing, Jim" he asked. This isn't like
you TO be so short. You always used
to be a good man for the interview
ers."
The vice president. according to
what was told here tonight, replied
that there was no way he could talk
without telling more than he wanted
to. The exact words Of Mr. Sherman
are said to have been: IF | talked

KEEP UP TIE EIGHT.

General perusal OF the press of the
Commonwealth reveals the fact that
number of papers are continuing the
putting the case we'll; they are citing
facts and figures. and we say to them,
keep 1t up!' Some OF the papers are
not mentioning this excellent reform,
and we urge upon them the duty and
the necessity to keep on talking about
good roads In many parts of the Old
Dominion good thoroughfares nave
been built and some are in process OF
construction. and they are giving sat
isfaction and proving to the people
that they have made a splendid invest
ment.
We note with approval what the
Fredericksburg Daily Star has to say
about the necessity that the press of
the State should keep on hammering
and preaching:
''There does not seem to be the same
disposition among Virginia newspapers
to press the good roads question to the
| front that existed year or so ago,
but we take 1t that this is to be con-
strued as simply lull In their activ-
tiles rather than as discouragement or
disappointment over results. Surely
the latter could not be the case. be-
cause, instead, there is every reason to
| be encouraged over the splendid prog
ress made by Virginia along tie line
of improved highways. In this imme-
diate section the result of the move
| ment for better highways has been
fattering in the extreme, Spotsylvania
| county alone voting q bond issue of
| 100000 for the purpose. while STAFF
| ford accepted State aid and construct
! ed about a mile of 6rst-class gravel
road, beginning at Falmouth Spotsyl-
yania county has begun work as a re-
| suit of the election, and in year or
so the county, or at least the lower
| half of the county, Will be abreast of
any in the State in the matter of good
roads. No fault can be found with the
mile of experimental or preliminary
road built in Stafford. The roadbed
is good. the grade splendid. and the
road itself. except in one or two places,
where 1t evidently was not sufficiently
rolled, seems to be in flrst-class shape
| In the places mentioned holes have
| formed, but these can easily be re-
| paired by load or two of gravel, and
In this connection the road authorities
should remember that even an improved
| road will sometimes need attention and
repair. The sentiment for better roads
seems to be just as strong as ever
therefore it would be a pity for the
newspapers of the State, which have
done so much to arouse and build ur
| this sentiment, to let up in their efforts
to secure permanent highways fol-
every county in the State. Rather lei
the papers keep the matter before their
readers as a live issue, and the resul,
will be seen in many additional miles
of improved highways"
Great reforms like good roads are
not achieved in a day. The movemen,
is progressing, and with the press OF
the Old Dominion behind it. pushing
hard, it is sure to succeed
