The Most Famous Living American
From The Home-C oming OF Roosevelt,
by Walter Wellman, in the American Re
view of Reviews for May

From The HOme-C oming of Roosevelt,
by Walter Wellman, in the American Re
view of Reviews for May.
One conclusion seems to be almost
universally accepted, by friend and
foe alike: Mr. Roosevelt is the fore
most and most famous OF living
Americans. Ii this were not realized
before, it is now. His trip is marked
by demonstration of interest, admi-
ration, and respect surprising any
thing of the sort ever before shown.
Cetainly no such hOnOrs were ever
paid a citizen of the United States
travelling abroad General Grant, on
his memorable tour of the world, with
high military and civic prestige be-
hind him, was everywhere greeted
with cordiality by persOnages. Not
only do those high in official place vie
with one another in hOnoring Roose-
welt, but the masses of the people are
alive to his personality and his fame
and delight to give him the homage
oftheir acclaim. Crowds in the streets,
at railway stations, on Quays, in
theaters, wherever he appears, in
Egypt, Italy, France, Austria q write
as the tour is in progress), testify to
the fact that this American, in some
way or other, has managed to impress
himself upon the consciousness OF
peoples who are generally quite in
different to all that goes on within or
comes from out tue great Western re-
public. Even those who must be re-
garded as woefully ignorant of Amer
lea, its affairs and personages, seem
to have heard of Roosevelt, to know
that he is called "Teddy," and to be
fairl Y familiar with some of his other
characteristics and surroundings.

THE GOLD LEAF.
AIabama's Returning Sanity.

St Louis Daily Globe Democrat, Mays
AIabama's primary has done more
than give a setback to Statewide
prohibition. 1t has called halt on
the anticorporation folly which has
ragged there, as we'll as in some OF the
other southern states and in a few OF
those of the west in recent years. The
man who has carried the State Tor
the democratic nomination for gov
ernor. Emmett O'Neal, is a local OPP
ton advocate. He has Overwhelm-
inelv beaten Mallory, the Statewide
liquor exclusiOnist. O'Neal stands
also for fair treatment for the rail-
ways and other corporations.
Nine states have statewide prOhl-
bition. Three of these-Maine, Kan
sas and North Dakota-are northern
states. The Others-NOrth Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Ten
nesser and OklahOma-are southern
states. Alabama is one OF the states
which became dry" on January /,
1909. After an experience OF little
over q year that state has turned
against the eXclusiOnistS, and IN
tends to let the counties and big
towns deal with the liquor issue indie
pendently. In the coming election
public sentiment is expected to eX-
press itself cOncretely on this ques-
ton. with the result that the old
sane method of home rule for the va
riOus communities in the state will
be adopted anew. II is believed that
Mississippi and North Carolina, both
Of which also began the statewide
experiment at the beginning OF 1909,
will return to local option at an early
day. In Tennessee, which shut out
the liquor traffic, in theory, on July
|, 1909, the experiment Is likewise
failure.
The most important result OF the
Alabama primary, however, is the de-
feat of the general scheme of fanati-
cism and prescription for which Gov.
Conner has stood. At the head OF the
demagogues of his state, Conner has
hampered the Interpretations there,
has inflicted millions of dollars OF
damage on the people of the state,
and has given aid and comfort to
the agitators and fanatics who have
had u free hand in running the af-
fairs of several of the southern COM
mOnwealths in recent times. The is
sue of liberalism and sanity has gone
so far in Alabama that it enters into
the primaries for the selection of all
sorts of officials, from members of
the legislature and governor up to
members of the senate and the house
of representatives. Apparently, the
liberals are making a clean sweep of
the state. The setback for prohibit
ton in Alabama, which has tried
that policy, ought to have a good
deal of influence in Missouri, which
has not tried it, but in which there is
a movement in its favor.

Mark Twain a Great Man.
Richmond Times-Dispatch.

Richmond Times-Dispateh.
Few men in America will be more
missed than Mark Twain, for few
we're more beloved. Whether in the
Middle West where he was born and
| where he learned so much of men, or
in the East where he lived in later
life, Mr.. Clemens was easily the first
OF American characters. EverybOdy
knew of him and everybody felt that
he was one writer whose touch was
true and whose merit was real.
Mark Twain did what perhaps no
other American has ever done. He
created a distinct literature. There
had been humOrists before his time
humorists who had been as original,
as daring and as successful as was he;
but there had been no man who had
succeeded in making literature of
humOr All that went before was
fragmentary, scattered and disjOint-
ed. He made it consistent, definite,
and wholesome.
1t is hard to dissect the qualities
which made Mark Twain such a great
literary figure. There is humor in
all he wrote, except when he turned
aside to write children's story or a
serious essay, but there is much more.
He had all the powers OF description
which belong to one who knew the
Book of Nature. He loved the river,
he loved the fields, and he loved those
fats along the Mississippi where the
sun shines on the yellow sand and
the cranes drowsily flap their dipping
wings. chad, too, a deep knowledge
of human nature, which made every
character that he described live and
breathe. BE knew men, through and
through.
Mark Twain the man was as inter
esting as Mark Twain the humorist.
The two, in fact, we're one. The books
were the man, and the man was the
books. His view of life was sunny,
and his nature was kindly, even when
he had business adversely and do
nestle trouble which would have bro
ken less fortunate spirit. He had,
too, high sense Of honor and a deep
integrity and a true charity, shown
in hundred little Incidents which he

firm of c. L. Webster and Company,
in which he was interested as silent
partner, went to the wall. Mr.. Glenn
ems was not responsible for the COM
pany's debts, but he assumed them,
and began a long, exacting lecture
tour in order that he might return to
the firms creditors every dollar he
thought himself in honor bound to
pay. He did it, though his health
was bad and the seasonmost oppres-
sive. Then again. on the last day
before he was finally stricken down,
he signed his check for $4,000 to
build library in his town.
These things showed the man, and
| for these things the American people
loved him. They knew he was true
and generous and kindly, and they
saw in him that spirit which makes a
man great.

PHILIPS TALKS
 AND IS RELEASED
After Spending Two Days In Jail, Argenta Man Gives Tes. timOny Before Grand
 Jury.

Little Rock, June 23.-After spending two days in the Pulaski county jail and consulting with hls attorney, w. l.. Phillips of Argenta, who was sent to iail Monday for refusing to an1wer questions put to him by the Grand Jury, decided that it would be better to tell what he knew. He went before the Grand Jury yes terday, answered the questions aud was released from confine- ment.
 Phillips notified Sheriff B. l.. Roberts of his change of mine about II o'clock yesterday morr- ing. Tie was immediately taken to the Grand Jury room, where he underwent an examination. Shortly after l2 o'clock the jurors finished questioning him. He was then taken before Judge k. !. Lea in the First Division of the Circuit Court. The grand jurors were called and asked if Phillips had satisfactorily answered the questions. They replied that he had, and the judge ordered his release from custody.
 Tried to Protect Others.
 In submitting, Phillips ex- plained that in refusing at first he had not been actuated by any desire to save himself, but did not want to duplicate others. He said that personally he felt clear of any violation of the law.
 The first question asked Phil lips and the first on which he baked was an inquiry as to what dramshops he was interested in. He stated, according to those present, that he did not so much object 10 this question as to those that were bound to follow. They related to the selling of liquor at-  ter hours and on Sunday and to the relations of various officials with these violations of the law, it is stated.
 Evidence Was Secured Anyway.
 The refusal of Phillips to fur nish the information to the in- quisitorlal body brought in evil dence, it is said, which exceeds by far anything that was suspected. The fact that the jury obtained this information in spite of his determination 10 keep silent is said to have played part in Phillips change of front.
 The Grand Jury has not yet completed it's investig alton of vi- oiations of the gambling and liquor laws in Argeuta aud may not comp .ete it until the last ol the week.
 Ia a report made yesterday there were four secret indic,- ments, but 1t is not thought that any of these were against persons implicated by the evid u e brought out in the Argenta probe.

pomn Lacks Many Feet of Being Down to Water Vein, but No
 Sign of Shortage.
PLEASANT SURPRISE
The Most Sanguine Hardly Dared Hope for Such Good Results Into Mains in a Few
 Days.
The waterworks pump is in

The waterworks pump IS in use.
 The actual test of the water works we'll, drilled last summer inst below the reservoir dam, was hegunlsst ednesday y afternoon at 2:S5 o clock, and the big pump, running at about half capacity, because of newness of machinery, was kept throwing water at an estimated rate ol 4, 500 gallons an hour up to ll:30 o'clock today and there was no sign of shortage of water. Connections will soon be made W th the flow line aud the wate, turned into the standpipe. The tunp will handle double the amount whel run to it's capacity, which will be done when neces- sary. k. F. Hammer, who in. stalled the new pump, was en- thusiastic after the test, saying he had not dared to nope for so much water.
 This well was drilled last sum- mer as dry weather auxiliary to the regular supply, when John Thompson was chairman of the wsterworks commission. IL was realized that the drilling of a we'll al this location, high up in the valley above the city was an experiment., but was considered worth a trial as the water, if found, would flow directly into tue standpipe by gravity pressure by being merely raised to the sur. face of the ground. This would require but litt.e power and would use the same mains that carry the water from the mountain stream during most of the year. The first step m this direction was taken by K. NJ. Qaiglcy and II. w. Cardwell, who had well dug at this point to depth of 25 feet, which developed supply in the dryest weather of about 1900 gallons an hour.
 When the we'll was being drilled at some point between l50 and 200 feet vein Of water was fouud that had sufficient force to overflow the we'll. Casing was put in to solid rock. about 65 feet down, and the water rose to it's top, about two feet above the ground, and has flowed coutinu. ossly since, at an estimated rate of about 10 gallons a minute. While this flow was insufficient to be oi great use, it was believed that with the pressure, estimated at about 60 pounds to the square inch, removed from the vein by pumping, the capacity might be great enough to nearly or quite supply the needs. The drill, however, was sent on down to AIS feet, with no perceptible change in the flow.
 Another we'll was started about goo yards down the valley and ou the opposite eide. but no strong vein was developed aud the drills were withdrawn. It probably will be abandoned.
 E. J. Moseley, chairman of tue water commission, has for some time been endeavoriug to secure a pump for the we'll, and II IS no fault of his that 1t was not in place weeks ago. But nc particular harm has resulted from !ne delay, as the regular supply IS shll ample for use.
 The working barrel of the pump at this time is down 11s feet. This is probably 50 feel above the vein, and if any short ago IS developed by continuou: pumping it will be lowered abou' mat much more.
