President's Address.
1 President Roosevelt spoke to the assem
blage as follows: '
I am glad here at the capital of North
Carolina to have a chance to greet po many
of the sons and daughters of your gn at
state. .-Wort U Carolina a part In our history
haa ever been high -and honorable. It was
in North' Carolina that the) Mecklenburg
Ieclaratlon of Independence foreshadowed
the course taken In a few short months by
the representatives of the thirteen coionles
assembled In Philadelphia. North Carolina
can rightfully say that sne pointed us me
way which led to the formation of the new
nation. In the revolution she did many
memorable deeds; and the battle of King's
mountain marked the turning point of the
revolutionary war In the south. But I
congratulate you not only upon your past,
but upon your present. 1 congratulate you
upon the great Industrial activity shown In
your commonwealth, an Industrial activity
which, to mention but one thing, haa placed
the state second only to one other in tne
number of Its textile factories. You are
showing In practical fashion your realisa
tion of the truth that there must be a
foundation of material well-being In order
that any community may make real and
rapid progress. And I am happy to say thtt
rou are in addition sbo-wlng In practical
ashion your understanding of the great
truth that this material well-being, though
necessary as a foundation, can only be the
foundation, and that Upon It must be raised
the superstructure of a higher life. If the
commonwealth Is to stand as It should
stand. More and mora ou are giving care
and attention to education; and education
rheans the promotion not only of Industry,
but of that good cittaenshlp which rests

Plea tor the Forest Tree. .
And now I want to say a word to you on
a special subject in which all the country
Is concerned, but In which North Carolina
haa a sprolal concern. The preservation of
the forests Is vital td the welfare of every
country. China and the Mediterranean
countries offer examples of the terrible adJu,trnent order to meet these new con
effect of deforestation upon the physical d,,Jlun The e.r.iinai f.tures In these
geography, and therefore ultimately upon
the national well-fcelng, of the nations. One
of the most obvloua duties which our gen
eratlon owes to the generations that are to
come after us Is to preserve the existing
fores tav Tke prime difference between civil
ised arid uncivilised peoples Is that In civil
ised peoples each generation works not only
for Us .well-being, but for the well
being of the generations yet unborn, and If
we permit the natural resources of this land
to be destroyed so that we hand over to our
children a heritage diminished In value we
thereby prove our unfitness to stand In
the forefront of civilised peoples. One of
the greatest of these heritages Is our forest i cate and mor. important than the prlml
wea.lh. Jt Is the upper altitudes of the Uveiy aBy task of acquiring or keeping in
forested mountains that are most valuable order the old highway; so that there Is

you people of the south show a strong In
terest therein.
Dividend la Certain.
Such reserves would be a paying Invest
ment, not only In protection to many Inter
ests, but In dollars and cents to tne govern
ment. The Importance to the southern peo
nie of nrotertina the southern mountain
forests Is obvious. These forests are the
best defense against the floods which, In the
recent past. have, during n single twelve
month, destroyed property officially valued
at nearly twice wnai it wouiu cosi iu miy
the Southern Appalachian reserve. The
maintenance of your southern water powers
Is not less Important than the prevention of
floods, because If they are Injured your
manufacturing Interests will suffer with
them. . The perpetuation of your forests,
which have done so much for the south,
should be one of the first objects of your
public men. The two senators 'rom North
Carolina have taken an honorable part In
this movement. But I do not think tnat tne
people of North Carolina, or of any other
southern state, have quite grasped the Im
portance of this movement to the com
mercial development and prosperity of the
south.
The. position or nonor in your paraae
today Is held by the confederate veterans.
They by their deeds reflect credit upon
their descendants and upon all Americans,
both because they did their duty In war and
because they did their duty In peace. Now
If the young men, their sons, will not only
prove that they possess the same power of
fealty to an Ideal, but will also show the
efficiency In the ranks of Industrial life
that their fathers, the confederate veterans,
showed that they possessed In the ranks of
war. the Industrial future of this great and
typically American commonwealth Is as
sured. The extraordinary development of Indus
trialism during the last half century has
been due to several causes, but above all to
the revolution In the methods of transporta
tion and communication; that Is. to steam
and to electricity, to the railroad and the
telegraph.
Development of Commerce).
When this government was founded com
merce was carried on by essentially the
same Instruments that had been In use not
only among civilized, but among barbarian,
nations, ever since history dawned: that Is,
' k i!..
by wheeled vehicles drawn by animals, oy
boat.' On Hand this Tneant'Ihat commerce
went , , cumberous and expensive
fasnlon over highways open to all. Nor-
mally, these highways could not compete
wlth'-Vater transportation, if such was
and by saUlng shlps and row
between the connect.ng.polnts
, All this has been changed by the develop
ment of the railroads. Save on the ocean
or on lakes so large as to be practically In
land seas, transport by water has wholly
lost Its old position of superiority over
transport by land, while Instead of the old
highways open to every one on the same
terms, but of a very limited usefulness, we
have new highways railroads which are
owned by private corporations and which
are practically of unlimited. Instead of
limited, usefulness. The old laws and old
customs which were adequate and proper
to meet the old conditions need radical re-
i cha ed conditions are, first, the fact that
. tm) new hghwayi the railway, Is, from the
commercial standpoint, or lnnnueiy greater
Importance In our industrial life than was
the old highway, the wagon road; and, sec
ond, that this new highway, the railway. Is
In the hands of private owners, whereas
the old hignway, the wagon road, was In
the hands of the state.
Control of Railroads.
The management of the new highway, the
railroad, or rather of the Intricate web of
railroad lines which cover the country, Is

i ,h raiiroilli uncontrolled Bueh a vtm
or rather such a lack of system, Is fertile
ln abuse, of every kind, and put. a pre
mium upon unscrupulous and ruthless
cunning ln railroad management; for there
are some big shippers and some railroad
like to do decently Into similar acta if
wrong and Injustice, under penalty of
being left behind In the race for success.
Government supervision Is needed quite u
much In the Interest of the big shipper
and of the railroad man who want tu do
right as In the Interest of the small shipper
and the consumer.
Lesson of Experience.
Experience has shown that the present
laws are defective and need amendment.
The effort to prohibit all restraint of coin
petition, whether reasonable or unreason
able, Is unwise. What we need Is tu have
some administrative body with ample power
to forbid combination that is hurtful to the
Fiubllc, and to prevent favoritism to one
ndivldual at the expense of another. In
other words, we wnt an administrative
body with the power to secure fair and just
treatment as among all shippers wiiu use
the railroads and all shippers have a right
to use them. We must not leave the en
forcement of such a law merely to the de
partment of Justice; it is out of the question
for the law department of tho government
to do what should be purely administrative
work. The department of Justice Is to stand
behind and co-operate with the administra
tive body, but the administrative body it
self must be given the power to do the work
and then held to a strict accountability for
the exercise of that power. The deluys of
the law are proverbial, and what wa need

Ersiloa of the Law.
The abuses of which we have a genuine
right to complain take many shapes. Re
bates are not now often given openly,
but they can be given just as effectively
In covert form; and private cars. trininil

SECOND DAY'S REGISTRATION
Republican Leaders Satisfied with
Showing, bnt Prepared
to Hustle.
Republican leaders last evening found no
cause for complaint for yesterday's showing
at the various registration precincts. The
total registration was light, but this Is ex
plained by the facts that the first day's
registration was large and the Inclemency
of the weather yesterday militated against
a better showing.
The executive committee of the county
republican central committee met yesterday
afternoon and Instructed Secretary, Greevy
to cut loose on the registration work In the
slxty-slx precincts In Omaha and 8outh
Omaha and get all the republican voters In
line.
It Is stated that the county central com
mittee and the Fontanelle club are work
ing In harmony In the matter of securing a
full registration of the republican voter
this fall.
The question as to whether the registra
tions made at the recent primary will hold
seems to be In the air, as it Is reported
that several voters who registered on pri
mary day were refused a registration yes
terday, while some Instances are reported
where those who registered on primary
day were accorded the privilege of register
ing yesterday. The general Impression pre
vails that the registrations made at the
time of the primaries will hold good for the
coming election.

rred M,
"Plff. Paff. Pouf Is one of those Inde
scribable affairs for which no exact name
Is found In the category. It hag been called
a musical cocktail, but It might as well be
called a gin fix or a Scotch highball. It
sparkles, and snaps, and It has an ex
hlllaratlng effect. It Is, as Mr. Melon sas,
"gratifying." It Is nonsense In the highest
degree; light, frothy, and easy to take. It
has wit, gocd songs, some clever comedy,
all Its music Is bright, and some of the
songs are decidedly ambitious, and the pony
ballet feature Is all that was promised by
the advance man.
One point of interest It presented to
Omaha people was the appearance of
Kathryn Osterman as leader of a musical
comedy organization. Not that any of her
local admirers, and they are numbered by
hundreds, doubted her ability to do so, for
she has made good In so many ways that
If she were to announce her intention to
play "Mary Stuart" or "Meg Merrlles"
they would go to the theater expecting
to see her carry off the undertaking with
credit. She has a role in this musical
comedy that might have been written for
her, so well does It fit her merry mood, and
she simply swings through It with an
Irresistible humor that gets everybody to
laughing Just as she does. And she actually
sings, and sings well. Her greeting lust
night was one that brought a cheery smile
to her face, and her exit was a triumph
for her.
Miss I.ulu McConnell. one of the cleverest
of soubrettea, Is the victim of a cold, so
severe that she almost talks bass, but she
goes through the nonsense provided for
Cora Melon with a persistent dash that
indicates what might be looked for If she
were In good health. Miss Dunmore has
an aria in the second act which won for
her a triple recall last night. Her beautiful
voice la surely Intended for singing better
songs than "My '.'nklssed Man."
Another thing of interest Rbout the ap
pearance of the company here at this time
Is the introduction of a new comedian, or
clown, If the term suits better, Mr. Fred
W. Mace. He Is funny all the way and
does his clowning with a drollery that re
minds one of nearly all the others In that
line, and yet has something about it that
must belong to the man himself. Robert
Graham, known of old. Is the same clever,
painstaking gentleman as ever, and makes
his points with a quiet and certain way

Mr. Deviln dances well, and leads the pony

girls dance with a nlmbleness and vim
that Is most astonishing, and It doesn't
matter to them If their feet Je encased In
silken slippers or wooden shoes, the soles
re brought down on the floor with a slam
when the music calls for it. Marie Dahl-

Beer Bottle Effective Weapon,
The patrol wagon and the doctors were

at 11 o'clock hift night, where h fl.-ht had
taken place. There had been n fight in
Joseph U. Pexdirt's saloon, dn ng whluli
the barkeeper James Nlaberk is said to
have made use of a h-er bottle on Joe Alt
man, who lives at 1312 William street. A
wordy quarrel ended In Nlaherk's slezing a
bottle, w'th which he struck Altman over
th left ear. cutting an ugly gash and strip
pin the scalp down until about two Inches
of the .kln hung In a flap over the ear. The
blood flowed In a stream over his face a"d
body until his shirt was soaked, when the
doctors arrived. Altmnn was taken home
from Anton Frucl's saloon where he had
gon after the fight. Pezdlrt's nlaea was
found to be clrsd and the pitrol went t

lived and plr.ced him unrtfarTet. He was

Omaha Thursday afternoon on the "White
Ribbon 8peclal," will probably never know
except In a vague sort of way, just how j
much importance was attached to their
coming by the local Women Christian I
Temperance Cnlon and club women, nor of
the very complimentary attention that they
had planned to pay them.
The reception at the Burlington station
planned by the local women came off all
right, but not Just as scheduled. Informed
by the local Uurllpgton office that the train
would arrive In Omaha promptly at 2:38
and depart Just as soon as an extra coach
could be attached, the women had planned
to go to the station In a body and present
a bunch of roses to Mrs. Lillian M. N.
Stevens, the national president, and greet
ing and a Godspeed to the delegation. In
stead of arriving as reported, the first
section of the train came In at 1:4R and the
second section fifteen minutes later and for
more than a half hour something over 600
white rlbboners thronged the platform
while a hundred or so others went for a
walk over the viaduct and up Tenth street,
all unconscious of the sisters up town who
were waiting to do them honor.
One Sister Saves Something;.
By some good chance, u number of the
local reception committee went to the sta
tion a half hour early, and taking in the
situation without offering any greetings,
rushed to a telephone and notiled a few of
the officers of the local union and the
Woman's club that the train was in.
Within fifteen minutes four of the recep
tion committee had arrived but Mrs. Ade
laid Rood, president of the local union, who
was to present the roses and who had thorn
with her, could not be found.
Presently, while the committee was busy
explaining to the delegates what had been
planned for them, a huge bunch of Ameri
can Beauty roses was seen far up the plat
form and Mrs. Rood hurried forward. Mrs.
Stevens, to whom the flowers were to be
presented, had not yet been located, and,
climbing aboard the train, the committee
started through to find her. As they came
Into the tenth coach they were told that
Mrs. Stevens had gotten off and walked to
the he'ad of the train. Hastily climbing off,
they started back up the platform now al
most at a run, for the time waa short.
Passing two modest looking women, one
of the committee announced In response to
their looks of Inquiry at the flowers, that
they were hunting Mrs. Stevens and thea
rushed on.
"Why, this Is Mrs. Stevens," called one
of the women who proved to be Miss Anna
Gordon, the vice president. Indicating her
companion.
Mrs. Stevens Gets Rosea.
And then the committee hurried bark and
the flowers were presented, although Mrs.
Stevens and Miss Gordon were the only
representatives of the delegation within
hearing. The delegates were not slew In
gathering and before many -minutes 200 or
more had surrounded the local committee

by "We Are Out for Prohibition.'.' Unable
. .... .. . .
to hear the call for .a speech from Mrs.
Stevens by the committee, which had

that lady was assisted to the steps of the
car and the women became quiet.

And then she thanked th Omiha women
for their flowers and the lntrst thit had
prompted their giving. K vote of thanks
was also extended the Commorcla' club of
Omaha for the souvenir buttons bearing .
' the Indian head and the words, "Omaha
