(From n Stan" Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON. Oct. 13. (Special.)
President Roosevelt Is gaining In popu
larity in the southern states. Ho has mado
few appointments thus far, but those which
he has mado have given general satisfaction
to tho people of tho south? and they have
served to Increase the regard In which ho
has always been held. This Is not to bo
undci stood as on assertion that ho Is gain
ing In political strength in tho region south
of Mason and Dixon's lino. On tho con
trary, tho residents of tho region which
onco desired to separato Itself from tho
union are not disposed to change their party
allegiance becauso of personal feelings of
regard for any man. It will tnko some
thing more than that to bring about a
political revolution. But personally and
as n man Theodore Roosevelt has won a
placo for himself In tho hearts of the south
ern people which will Increase the chancn
of entirely eliminating the sectional feel
ing which has been so manifest during the
last thirty years.
W. O. Storett, one of the editors of the
Oalveston-Dallns News, has been In Wash
ington the last few days. Sterctt wns n
Washington correspondent for several
years. He knew Mr. Roosevelt ns civil
service commissioner and ns assistant
secretary of the navy. "In my editorial
capacity," said Mr. Sterctt, "I read con
scientiously nearly 1,000 Texas newspapers
every week. I rend them to get tho drift
of political sentiment throughout our state.
I havo been astonished at the unanimous
commendation of President Roosevelt in
the press of Texas. Nearly all these news
papers are of tho democratic faith, yet I do
not recall a single editorial upon the sub
ject of the administration but has been
friendly and oven eulogistic of President
Roosevelt. Ho Is a virile, vigorous Amer
ican nnd Just the sort of man that the peo
ple of our section admire. I do not wish to
bo understood as Intimating that thcro Is
the faintest chance of the state of Texas
ever swinging Itself Into the republlcnn
column, but If Theodore Roosevelt should
announce himself a democrat and n candi
date for tho democratic nomination for the
presidency In 1001 I firmly believe that he
would receive tho voto of every delegate to
tho convention."
Dclnalona of the I'lin-Aiiicrlcnn.
Some of the deluded people who went to
Buffalo last spring In the hopo of making a
fortune nro coming back with tales of woe.
One of theso appeared In Washington this
morning. His story was pathetic. "I had
succeeded In building up a nice little hotel
business in my homo," ho said, "and last
winter I got a chance to sell out. I cleaned
up $5,000 and decided to go to Buffalo,
against tho advlco of my wife. With a part
ner I invested $6,500 In a hotel there. Wo
had to pay rent and license In advance. Our
prospects looked bright until wo started.
Then a few friends from my old home and
my partner's old home camo to see us.
They stayed a few days and went home and
sent a fow more. Then camo dullness and
depression. For four or ftvo months busi
ness went from bad to worse. Wo dis
charged tho servants ono after the other
nnd at lsfst oven tho barkeeper had to go.
Last Saturday my partner and I spent tho
entire day playing 'sevon up' together and
during that eptlre day our receipts were
exactly two bits, 25 cents or a quarter of a
dollar. On Sunday wo 'took In' 40 cents.
On Monday I telegraphed my wlfo to send
me money enough to get home with, and
hore I am. If I ever get $5,000 again I will
listen to my wlfo unless Bho goes crazy
and urges mo to go to St. Louis, Charles
ton or somo other town whero a world's
fair Is to be held."
Civil Service an Iturnl llnute.
It Is probable that Postmaster General
Smith would like to have the rural free
delivery service placed under the Civil
Service commission, nt least to tho extent
of permitting that bureau to designate tho
appolntmont of clerks In tho service. Tho
rural froo delivery service was originally
organized with two or three clerks and a
stenographer. Then tho appropriation was
something like $150,000. Today thcro are
upwards of WO clerks and a scoro or more
of stenographers. The funds available for
tho current fiscal year aro upwards of
$3,000,000. The enormous growth of this
branch of the PostolDco department during
the last four years tins, Increased the cares
of the postmaster general many fold.
There Is scarcely a representative or a
senator In congress who has not anywhero
from one to a scoro of constituents who
nro anxious to enter the government serv
ice through tho rural free delivery bureau
and they nro persistent and Insistent In
urging tho claims of their friends. Of
) course not ono In ten can be provided for.
but that makes no dlfforenco to tho con
gressmen. They always visit the Post
ofilco department when they como to Wash
ington nnd nearly halt tho time of tho
head of tho department Is taken up listen
ing to tho appeals of those seeking places.

"But as you was sayln', captain, they's
been lots of changes In th' game since
you and me was kids. Tlmo was when
th' C class of one little red schoolhouse
played th' C class of nnother, but It's
different now. Take It up In Minneapolis.
Th' 'varsity chappies send out a comity
to drum up timber for" Its foot ball 'loven.
'Go Into th' highways,' they says, 'an' th'
byways, an' find us somo husky lads that's
hankerln' for learnln', an' n chance to
break someone In two.'
"An th' comity turns up a young black
smith In n side street that tips the beam
at 230, an' wear his corporation close
under his chin. 'Wo needs you up nt the
'varsity,' they says. Cnn't afford It," ho
says. 'I'vo been thlukln' gain' to night

but th' 'varsity's too steep for ine. Do
you learn 'em spellln' up there?' Oh,
that's all right,' the' says. 'Send th' bill

"Then he learns a college yell that

of tho Postofllco department, Just to re
Hoc his cabinet officer of this great
