NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
CIear-Fieaded Southern Railroad Promoter

of John c. Breckenridge, that Mr..
Reagan had served in that capacity.
"In the last four or five months of
the existence of the Confederate gov
eminent at Richmond" replied Mr..
Reagan, IL was called upon by Mr..
Davis to serve as acting secretary of
the treasury 1t was necessary for
him to take some action of that kind
because Robert r. Bridgers. of North
Carolina, whom Mr.. Davis mad nor.e
mated for secretary of the treasury,
had declined the honor"
That was all Mr.. Reagan would saw
in reply to the question l put to him
The mention of Mr.. Bridgers's name
seemed to awaken another train of
thought with him, for he continued:
You know Mr.. Bridgers? He is,
in my opinion, as able a man as is to
be found in the South. Why, he took
the old Weldon railroad, a vital link
between Richmond and the South,
and a very stategic line during the
Civil War, and actually saved 1t from
complete bankruptcy.
"Bridgers had recommended that
the Weldon Railroad Company at the
time of the war invest all its surplus
earnings in cotton, so that it would
have abundant means with which to
repair the inevitable damages occa-
stoned by the war after the war was
ended. That suggestion was a very
wise one, and it led to the unanimous
election of Mr.. Bridgers as the presi-
dent of this line Immediately after the
war closed. He had the foresight to
see that the line would be vital link
in railroad system operated under
one control, and running from Rich
mond or possibly Washington to
Wilmington and Charleston and the
far South. He was well worthy of ex-
ample, since he began as soon as the
war was over the work of material re-
construction. To him the South owes
much of the beneficial influence which
made it's material reconstruction pos.
sible. He is a very able man."

ROOSEVELT is WITH Us.

Whether with health impaired in the full pos
session of wonted physical and mental yigor Theodore
Roosevelt is welcomed back to his own country win
q cordially and enthusiasm that could slgnalize the
return of but few men.
In fact it may be said, and without fear of con-
tradicton that the colonels coming has been looked
for and longed for to an extent that emphatically
stamps him as the personally popular American
alive
" There was a studied avoidance of display and
demonstrations part of the colonel upon landing
on home soil, but the footing of steamboat whistles
and other manifestations of JOY by occupants of har
Dor craft in general, announcing the arrival OF the
traveller, made positively quiet trip to Oyster Bay
impossible of fulhllment.
But as for Roosevelt himself and the future OF
Roosevelt in coming national political history
With health restored he will naturally enter the
political and with determination and earnest
ness peculiarly his own. New life and stimulus will
be injected any movement in which he takes part
and under the conditions existing in this country
his personal magnetism and the confidence the people
have in him trusty leader in trying times Roose-
veit as prospective Presidential candidate in 1916,
would command unbeatable following.
1t would not be so much partisan political fol-
lowing as it would be massing of popular forces by
people who believe that Roosevets strength of char
acter indomitable will and unwayering Americanism
are the qualities should be possessed by the head
OF the nation.
1t would matter little to the people what political
banner the colonel bore aloft they would follow him
and vote him Indications that this is the senti
ment of the country have apparent for time
and it only required the appearance of Roosevelt him
self upon the to quicken that sentiment into
life.
To attempt to form opinion that Roosevelt
might politics would be simply waste OF
mental energy. He could not remain out of politics
we're it his dearest wish. The people would never
have it that way.

Great Invention

Last year an agent came to our
house selling patent clotheslines, and
he had just such rigmarole as yours.
His invention consisted of a sort of
drum which could be fixed to the side
of the house or barn. One end of the
clotheslines wound around the drum
and you could tighten or loosen it by
turning a crank. Then there were
ratchets and things to hold the drum
in place. l never saw such a deter
mined man as that agent. l told nun
in the best English / could command
that l didn't want patent clothesline
and wouldn't have one at any price,
but he insisted on fixing his machine
to the end of the barn, and said he
just wanted me to try it with one
washing, and he'd come back in ten
days and take it away, if I didn't
want to pay for it.
so l consented to try it on those
terms, and on the following Monday
hung out a big washing on the line.
1t had been raining, and the yard was
muddy, and just when the last rag
had been hung on the line, one Of
those ratchets slipped, and the whole
washing came down in the mud. and
I've always been afraid that some of
the neighbors overheard my remarks
on that occasion, for they've never
been as friendly since.
"On the appointed day the agent
came to collect for his machine and
Mr.. Carfew told him he ought to pay
50 for running my weeks washing.
ar1 the agent made an impertinent
anawer, and the next minute they
wer so tangled up I couldn't tell
which was which. They rolled all
over my nasturium bed and turned
the hose on both of them, which
brought them to their senses and they
quit lighting, but Mr.. Curfew had
black eye and the agent was holding
one ear IN place with his hand, and
the whole business was unspeakably
disgraceful.
80 you see you are just wasting
your time and my time standing here
trying to sell me a patent safety
clothesline. Chicago News.
