TEDDY IN THE SOUTH.
Makes Fifty Stops and Makes Short
Speeches Sunday.

Through endless fields Of cotton, dot
ted with clusters of white blossoms,
Col. Theodore Roosevelt rode, morning
to night, Sunday, on his tour through
the South
He was on his way from Atlanta to
Hot Springs, Ark, and be made more
speeches than on any other day of his
present trip or on any day of his recent
Western trip. The train made fifty
stops during the day, and there wels
such crowds on hand everywhere that
Col. Roosevelt bad at least to 60 out to
the rear platform and speak a few sem
tenees at almost every station.
The colonel's throat, which has not
been in good condition since the Sara
toga convention, stood the strain well,
and he is inclined to believe now that
talking agrees with it.
Col Roosevelt was not talking poll
ties today He was urged to amplify
that part of his speech in Atlanta last
night which referred to the tariff and
the plank Of the New York State Repub-
lican platform which deals with the
tariff, but would not do so.
Il have nothing to add to what |
said last night, " Col Roosevelt said,
except what in my speeches at Sarato-
ga and Syracuse | said about the tariff
and the administration is exactly what
/ said in Sioux City, Ia, Sioux Falls,
N. d., Cincinnati and elsewhere.
The Roosevelt train travelled leisurely
through parts of Georgia, Alabama,
Mississippi and Tennessee Sunday, and
the engineer stopped wherever there was
a station. The people swarmed over
the tracks and crowded around the end
of the train in struggling masses about
equally divided between whites and ne
groes.

The Minstrel Misses.

The lady Ministries took the city by
storm. AS early rs 7.15 there was a
crowd in front of the Gem theater's box
office big enough to half fill the house,
and it was 50 large by the time the
doors opened that every seat was taken,
the back part of the house iammed up
to the entrance and the overflow bad
taken to the benches outside to wait for
the second show-before even the cur
tain had gone up.
Taken as whole the performance
was the neatest and niftiest show pre-
sented in Meridian since the grille min
strels were here last, and on every side,
as the audience filed out, was heard the
comment that the show was even better
than last year Individually there is
much that can be said, as every one of
the girls could rank up singly with the
best of the vaudeville performers that
have appeared here this season.
'Dreamland' has been sung here
many times, but it remained for Miss
Mayme to sing it last night with the
genuine Broadway touch. A tremendu-
Gus hit was scored with the opening
number of the olio in which Miss Eta
Roberts sang her slumber song, assisted
by the entire company on u darkened
stage, the girls wearing nighties and
carrying candles.
There were five different opinions as
to who was the particular hit" of the
show. Popular vote named Miss Rob
berts as she bowed acknowledgment to
the third encore, but this was before
Miss Bacher gave her imitation Of Anna
Held. Then the audience decided
that Miss Mayme was it, F" and that
opinion lasted until the Drisdall sisters
came out in their singing, laughing,
dancing and joke skit, Which drove the
house wild aud received four encoreS.
This appeaaed to settle the question, but
Miss Isabelle appeared in her character
Of the little Italian kid, and those who
had gone before became for the mo
ment mere memory. The audience
seemed determined not to let her leave

PAST PRAYING FOR.

There are some things the blind
chaplain of the House of Representa-
tives, Rev. Henry n. Couden, can see
without eyes One thing he sees is
that too many people are seeking
notes in the eyes of other folks re-
gardless of the existence of beams in
their own optics.
Observing this, Rev. Couden caused
the members of the House to gasp
Friday morning when he implored
the Almighty to lead the muckrakers
to rake before their own doors before
attending to the litter in front of their
neighbours homes"
The chaplain is a Christian of the
old militant school, and can smell a
hypocrite even if he cannot see him,
His prayer is timely, but, unfortu-
nately, the mpckrakers do not nave
the fear of God in their hearts, and
have long since been given over to de-
struction

ROOSEVELT AT BERLIN.

The address of Mr.. Roosevelt upon
The World Movement at the Uni
versity Of Berlin is his best effort since
the tour of the European capitals be-
gan Although lacking in voice
owing to a severe bronchial affection,
the former President made a deep
impression, and he traced the rise and
fall of the dead and gone nations.
As a special compliment to the
American visitor, Emperor William
was present during the lecture, and
while the lecturer was made a Doctor
of Philosophy by the great German
seat of knowledge.
After paying attention to the rise
of western civilization. which he at
tributed in large measure to the un-
yielding attitude of the ancient Ger
mans against Pagan Rome and the
Mohammedan hordes of Asia, Mr..
Roosevent mentioned the peoples who
in ages past rose to greatness and
then vanished.
The fate of the Phoenicians, a pure
" commercial people, was the same
as that of the Mongols, a warlike race
that overran Asia and part of Eu-
rope in the thirteenth century The
Greeks, a many-sided people, the rec
ord of whose achievements I'LL many
pages of history; who were foremost
in battle as well as the arts of peace;
whose poetry and philosophy still an
struct as well as delight. bowed be.
fore the eagles of Rome.
Rome itself. after conquerinG almost
the entire known world, then went
down in a sea of blood. These were
few of the examples mentioned by
Mr.. Roosevelt.
His conclusion was that neither the
exclusively warlike nations, the COM
mercial nations nor those whose peo-
pie devote themselves to the cultiva-
ton of the arts and sciences can hope
10 survive-there must be a blending
Of all the forces of civilization.
Mr.. Roosevelt, strong, virile and
fuH-blooded. does not believe our civ
ilization will fail. Nevertheless. ne

out the dangers existing at the present
time. We shall do well if We give
heed.

BELIEVES IN PEACE

The eulogies passed upon the late
King Edward are all of the same gen.
eral tenor. The highest praise ac-
corded him is for his influence in PEE
serving the peace of the world. It is
true that the praise is deserved in
many respects. 1t is also true that
before his accession to the throne
Great Britain had imposed her au-
thOrity upon weaker nations all over
the world. which authority is upheld
by the sword soIsy.
King Edwards influence for peace
would not have counted i the COM
n ercial interests of his country had
been involved. Perhaps in such case
he would not have attempted to exer-
else any such influence, for England
is the foremost commercial nation of
the world
While we have been hearing about
this influence for peace, supposed to
have been exercised by the late ruler.
it is well to take note of the fact that
The Salt Lake herald-Republican. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1909-1918, 1910-05-14

not for single year during h-s reign
did the government of Great Britain
fail to build big battl eships in order
to remain mistress of the seas. Great
Britain is for peace. but she proposes
to remain in a position to dictate the
terms of such peace.
Perhaps the best guaranty of peace
is preparedness for war. At least a
vast majority of people think so. and
the drilling of armies and the building
of big battleships continues, and prob
ably will continue to the end of time.
The United States is for peace IN
the same sense that the other COM
mercial nations are. We don't want
10 fight unless we have TO. Conse-
ouently, we are not building pleasure
yachts while Great Britain and Ger
many are sliding monster warships
down the ways into the water. We
are for peace up to that point when
some other nation attempts to in
fringe upon our rights. Then our
humor changes
Mr.. Roosevelt, in his lecture at the
University of Berlin. probably came
near expressing the sentiments of a
great majority of his countrymen
when he said:
Unjust war is 10 be abhOrred. but
woe to the nation that does not
make ready TO hold its own in
time of need against all who would
harm it; and woe thrice over to
the naticn in which the average
man loses the fighting edge, loses
the power TO serve as a soldier
if the day of need should arise.
So let US give King Edward credit
for being man of peace and Roose-
welt credit for possessing the same
virtue. Both may be regarded as
representatives of the foremost civil
lied nations. and both have shown
that the cause of humanity was up
permost in their thoughts. Yet the
beating of swords into plowshares and
spears into pruning hooks has not
commenced, and when such practice
becomes general the millennium will
be at hand.

VICTORY FOR THE WEST.

has been started. II the present Con-
gress turns the proposition down, it
will come up ian more drastic form
next time.
The amendment as finally adopted
by the Senate makes it illegal for the
railroads TO give lower rates foc long
haul than for short one, the short
haul being included within the long
one. unless they are specially permit

upon the railroads to make out a case.

night after the vote was taken, ex-
pressed the opinion that the compro-

great weight owing to tne interest he
took in the matter and his efforts to

HARKING BACK.

The ''yarb" doctor who dosed the
Swope family with his homemade
preparations and became figure in
a celebrated murder case in conse-
quence, may be sort of John the
Baptist heralding a new era. Per-
haps it would be better to say the re-
turn TO former methods of medical
practice.
One of the signs of the times is that
physicians are showing a disposition
to abandon proprietary compounds
and return to the roots and herbs ad-
ministered by the oId-time country
doctors. The New York Medical Jour
nal in the course Of a long article on
this tendency says:
We are hopeful that We shall return
once more to the use of the medi-
cinai plants and drugs, for the
utility of which the experience of
thousands of years vouches. This
sentiment has been expressed re-
Gently by an eminent teacher of
pharmacology, wEo, in pro-
phetic paSSa ge, sees time when
medicine, having thoroughly
ruined it's digestion with syn
thetical remedies. and tested all
the organs OF the animal body,
viii return once more to- vege-
table drugs and employ them to
a greater extent than it does at
present.
For the last forty or fifty years the
shelves of the drug stores have been
groaning beneath the weight of the
patent medicines" Some of them
were prepared in accordance with the
latest discoveries of science. Many of
them were bad, wholly bad. Those
used by physicians in their practice
were presumably good, and may have
performed the work for which they
were intended.
The point against the use OF pro-
prietary compounds by the physicians
lies in the fact that it seems to indi-
cate that they do not know as much
about writing prescriptions as they
should or about the action of the
drugs they prescribe, except it be
taken in doses prescribed on the label
pasted on the bottle.
Be that as it may, We are going
back to the good old root and herb
days, if the New York medical author
ity is to be believed.

the United States each year, if placed
on lots of sixty-feet frontage, would
line street reaching from New York
to Chicago
A person journeying along that
street would meet an injured person
every thousand feet, and at every
three-quarters of a mile he would see
the charred remains of a human be-
ing.
These preventable losses are costing
the people of the United States $685.
100000 annually.
The National Association of Manu-
facturers proposes TO educate the en-
ployers of the country to the impor-
tance of eQuipping their plants with
labor-saving devices, to devise means
of preventing accidents and TO offer
prizes for the best preventive devices.
In addition, the association promises
to lend its aid in every way toward
advancing legislation for the purpose
of securing to the workingmen COM
pensation for accidental injuries. and
placing upon The employers a larger
degree of responsibility than exists
under the present liability laws.
Napoleon was accused of needlessly
sacrificing the lives of the soldiers of
France, and the only excuse he Of
fered was that zone cannot make an
omelette without breaking a few
eggs" In this country the same cal
lousness has frequently been exhibited
by the great industrial corporations in
the pursuit of wealth.
Il is a cheering sign that the manu-
facturers are taking the first step in
the matter of reform, for they are the
largest employers of labor. II even
one-half of the accidents could be pre-
vented, thousands of lives would be
saved; hundreds of thousands of those
mangled and MANNED under the pres
ent reckless system would be sound in
body, and an economic saving of hun
dreds of millions be effected
The work is all-important, and the
National Association of Manufacturers
is to be commended for taking it up.
