rise up and protect your Homes against this curae. Fathers stand by our Wires. It will take some sacrifice, but what can you not sacrifice for your children. If the Merchants are boycotted, it is of their own choosing. They have bid for tbt patronage of the Rum element and disregarded the better element. What Merchant or Maaif actor of Richmond would take In a young Man that gets. drunk and give him a responsible position after the saloon has made a drunkard of him? Richmond has placed herself in a whirlpool from her own choosing, and if the surrounding country wants to stand aloof from it, It can sink or extricate its self by its own manhood as other towns around it has done. Richmond has become a hiss and byword, not only by the county, but by every county that has had the manhood to vote dry. GREENSFORK.
Items Gathered in From Far and Near
; THEODORE ROOSEVELT. It Is with-a feeling of keen regret that the American people witness the retirement of Theodore Roosevelt from the presidency, but they are also pleased is the thought that his successor will carry out his splendid policies. The Chicago Record-Herald today;pays
the retiring chief executive the tolA
lowing fitting tribute: President Roosevelt retires from office hated by a few, loved and admired by the many. - The reason for these .opposed feelings is one and the same. ; The many admire him for the policies he has represented and successfully carried forward. The few hate him for , those same policies. , His opponents sometimes pretend that it is because of bis methods and ' personal qualities rashness, fmpeuousness, violence that they hat him. They merely strive to conceal the true reason. ' On the other side, it is sometimes said that his followers have "become attached to him because of his war enthusiasm, his athletic prowess, his love of sports, his advertising ability. This also is merely an attempt at concealment of the truth. ' The policies which the president has made his own are partly embodied in legislation, but to still larger extent they appear, as yet only in programmes of legislation to be enacted. In his
relation to these policies, disregarding trivial phases, two great characteristics of the man stand out boldly. One is his almost -unfailing political rightnail Th ntip ta hln nhsnlntftlv un
tarnished personal integrity., 1 The political Tightness of the president is the marvel of the decade. He has not only given expression to the great social needs of the nation when he has advanced carefully framed policies, studied put in detail with the aid of the best progressive leaders in our politics, but eveh when he has -struck some rock in, casual passing he has made social truth' leap out rrom.lt. ' His Integrity has stood most bitter assaults, most determined, investigations, from the side of his enemies. Not one blemish has been put upon it, though every resource to that end has been exhausted i Since the fall election one occasionally hears it said that President Roosevelt's popularity has been rapidly de- . dining; that he,, doe not have the support of the country now as in the past,, . i-t'-X t-...-;--:- Ti X ' It la our belief that there never was a moment when-so -many Americans ao heartily followed, admired and loved the president as follow, admire and love him now that be Is laying down the power of office.
, It is the good fortune. of the people
of the United States that the next president will be one in thorough and complete sympathy with the public work of Theodore Roosevelt.

The Parade. Prom the New Haven Register. There have been many notable parades to mark the inauguration of new presidents. Some of those which have been heard the farthest have been in recent years.

It will be dignified, befitting the man whom it honors. After the Prophets. Prom , the - Detroit Free Press.

Once when Thomas B. Reed was with the late Senator Wolcott of Colo
radoand Joceph Shoate, Mr. Shoate,
when asked to take a drink, said that he never drank, never smoked to excess and never gambled in his life. Wolcott, who was a sinner in every one of these lines, looked pathetically at Reed and said: "I wish I could say that." Say it." said Reed; "Choat did.' , .

ROOT 111 SUPREME COURT IS REPORT

official family. Of 1 the three other Ohio presidents. William Henry Harrison had Thomas Kwing aa his secretary of he treasury, Hayes had John Sherman in the same portfolio, and McKinley had three Ohio secretaries of State, John Sherman, William R. Day and John Hay. If there is any foundation for the re
port that President Roosevelt will appoint Senator Hemenway of Indiana commissioner of pensions, it will be an unusual selection fer a republican president to make. It has been one of the creeds of the republican party that this position should go to an old soldier, and as Senator Hemenway was only one year old when Sumter was fired upon, he does not qualify for that class.
By Sheldon S. Cline. Washington, March 3. EMhu Root, of New York, will be the next Chief Justice of the United States Supreme court provided Mr. Root will accept the appointment at the hands of Mr. Taft. He has told his friends that were he able to make Root chief justice, he would regard it as the crowning act of his administration. It is well known that Mr. Taft's life ambition was to sit on the supreme court bench, and until the little presidential bee began its bussing he had looked upon the chief justiceship as
the most exalted place to which mortal might aspire. . It ia not surprising,
then, that he wants a man of large calibre to place in the seat now occupied
by Chief Justice Fuller. The latter is long past the age of retirement and it is well understood that he will not re
main on the v bench throughout Mr.
Taft's term in the White House.
A Graceful Compliment. At a banquet in New York a few nights ago, Mr. Taft said that he believed that Root instead of Taft should have succeeded to the presidency. No man ever paid another a higher compliment, and the compliment was a peculiarly graceful one because of the well known fact that Mr. Root aspired to the nomination last year, but gave way to Taft because he believed the latter would make the stronger candidate. If Mr. Taft, having bean elected to the place which Mr. Root wanted, should appoint Mr. Root to the position which Taft himself wanted, It would be an unusual demonstration of the capaciousness of fate. Whether Mr. Root would accept the chief justiceship is not known except possibly, to a few of his intimates, and Mr. Root has few intimates. When he was elected senator from New-York, there was very , widespread belief that he hoped , the senatorship would lead to the presidential nomination four or eight years hence.. There isn't chance though, that he will oppose Taft for the nomination In 1912, and in 1010 Mr. Root will be 72 years old. Under such, circumstances it. would not be surprising, if the chief justiceship appealed to the New,York senator. Garfield's Future. "What shall be done with Garfield?" appears almost as vexatious a problem to some people as the old query, "What shall we do with our ex-presi
dents?" About every position within
the gift ot President Taft has been
picked for "Mr. Roosevelt's secretary
of the Interior, but so far none of them
has materialized. All the early cab
inet slates put forth by Mr. Taft's enthusiastic volunteer assistants contain
ed the name of Garfield, but he was
dropped out of. cabinet reckoning about
a month ago. Since then he has been reported as slafsd for almost every
thing on the of presidential plac es, from ambassador down.
About the only f man who doesn't
seem to be .worried by the situation is
"Jimmie" Garfield himself. The
diminutive isn't often used now. since
he .became ' Mr. Secretary Garfield, but
if he carried out his announced inten
tion of returning to Ohio to practice
law, people probably will get to calling him "Jimmie" again. Perhaps this would not be altogether displeasing to
Mr. Garfield, as it Is not likely he has put beyond him all further political ambitions, and if he is going to look to the people for preferment it isn't
a bad asset to be known as "Jimmie"-
or "Bill" or "Teddy."
The secretaryship or the navy was the cabinet "berth the slate makers originally picked out for Garfield. He didn't get the place, bat the fact that he didnt. Serves to call attention to the fact that Ohio has never furnished a secretary of the navy. Except for
the. comparatively new departments of
Agriculture and Commerce and Labor, this is the only cabinet position Ohia
men have not filled. There have been
enly four secretaries of agriculture
and only three of commerce and labor. Jobs. for Ohio Men. Ohio men have filled other portfoli
os, as follows: Secretary of state, three;
secretary of the treasury, five; secreta
ry of war, six; secretary of the Interior, four; postmaster-general, three; attorney-ge'neraU four. There has
been considerable comment on the fact
that Mr. Taft begins his administration with no Ohio man in his cabinet. This is not especially remarkable, how. ever, in view of the fact that Garfield did not have an Ohio member of his

It will be a month or six weeks be
fore Mrs. Aletha Hunt, nominated for
state secretary and Otto Lauck, nominated for state chairman of the Socialist party, will learn whether they were . successful in their efforts Their names were placed in nomination last Sunday at the convention
held in Indianapolis. The party elects its state officers by submitting: the
names of the parties nominated to a referendum of the members of tbe party. It is very probable that Mrs. Hunt will be successful in her candidacy because of the success she had last summer when she spoke throughout the state on socialism. Mr. Lauck is also regarded as the strongest candidate for state chairman and it success falls to both of tiiem the state headquarters will be located in this city. r
