THE RICHMOND PAL.LADIU3I AND SUX-TELEG RAM, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8, 1911.

ROOSEVELT TODAY LEAVES FOR WEST Ex-prcsidcnt Will Make First Stop at Atlanta to Make an Address.

WILL VISIT NAMESAKE At Roosevelt, Ariz., He Will Be Feasted by Members of Rough Riders. (Amrrli'Mn Ncw Hervl:) New York. March 8. A $10,000 dinHer; a reunion of Rough Klders; a day spent In presiding over ceremonies to be held in tho town of JtooHevvlr, Ariz, to mark the opening of tho ftoosovclt dam, ono of the greatest engineering feats In the vest; und long minting and fishing 1rlp In and about the Rockies an Home of the things that will enliven the peregrination of Colonel Theolore Uoonevclt, who started today on n two months tour of the south und ftouthwest. Out aside from the pleasure with which such on array of "stunts"' may he pardonably viewed, the colonel departs with the knowledge that u coincidence of events, whether planned or accldcntut, has not the tongues of rumor a-wagglng and caused politicians great and small to awake from a post-election lethargy and onto more fasten their attention tilo n the ex-preaident. The Incident that have aroused this political speculation are: The announcement of hla lour Immediately after the formation of the National rogreaalv league In Washington; hla choice of the nouth ajid southwest hi the scone of hla activities, and his refuaal to comment" upon the political idgnllcanco of liia trip or ita relation 1o (he Progressive league. Stirs Up Politicians. It la pointed out by the political dopesters, first that the announcement of the tour Immediately following the formation of the Progressive league, a body said to profess political beliefs akin to those entertained by the ex presldcnt, and believed to be host lie to the renomlnatlon of President Taft, Is of more than ordinary ' significance. Second, that his Journey through a country where delegates to tho national convention will be most eagrely sought by a Republican candidate or friends of a candidate, may be for the purpose of ascertaining the political trend of southern and southwestern voters and iwsalbly launching a presidential boom. And third, that the un-Rooseveltlan reticence with which he has seen It to shroud the political tenor of his speeches enroute, blnta that something unusual is afoot. t The colonel, however, persistently refuses to either affirm or deny the rumors that his trip would embody any undue political activity, and up to the eve of bis departure, would not comment upon his affiliation with the Progressive league. "With the exception of two or three of my speeches," he aid, "I shall prepare no orations In advance, but will be governed by the conditions prevailing at the time. Regarding the political significance of the tour and the Progressive league, I have nothing to say." Colonel's Itinerary. The colonel's Itinerary, as much of It as has been given to the press, will take him to Atlanta, Ua.. March 9; Birmingham, Ala., March 10: Jackson, Miss., March 11; New Orleans, La., March 12. Han Antonio, Tex.. March 13-14: Albuquerque, N. M., March 151ft; Grand Canyon, Arts.. March 17; Phoenix. Art.. March 1R-19-20: Los Angeles, Cal., March 21; San Francisco. March 22. In Atlanta he will address the Southern Commercial congress composed of loading business men of the south, many of them prominent In politics, lie will have twelve hours for conference. In Ilirmingham he will address a child labor commission. This Is made tip largely of federal office holders nnd prominent women of the south. At Jackson Colonel Roosevelt will be met by the governor of Mississippi, nnd this stop, the colonel says, is due largely to sentimental reasons because of the hearty reception ho was given recently In that city. New Orleans will entertain the exRough Rider with a 110,000 banquet given tinder the auspices of tho Commercial club of Louisiana. This elaborate affair will seat 800 guests at $15 jer plate and will number among its Kakcrs some of the foremost men In the south and southwest. Kach banqueter will receive a Roosevelt medallion costing $3 apiece as a souvenir of the occasion. To Mast Cattlemen. The annual convention of "Cattle Raisers." one of tho most powerful organizations in the state of Texas, will then be addressed by the colonel at San Antonio. He will be followed by many of tho political leaders of the state. The next stop in the Itinerary will be Albuquerque, N. M., where tho exRough Rider will spend two days among his old friends of tho saddle. "These, will be informal affairs." said Colonel Roosevelt. "I would not daro pass through the state without stopping to greet my old comrades." Though the affairs may bo Informal, It Is said that they will bo decidedly lavish, for the ex-president Is dear to the hearts of the plainsmen and his former troopers, many of whom now hold official positions and are making every effort to provide an entertainment that will not soon be forgotten. Tho next stop will be Grand Canyon. Arizona, where a short address will be delivered. Then on to Phoenix for the opening of the Roosevelt dam that great structure which plays so Important a part la tho vast system of re

clamation Inaugurated under the colonel's administration. To Open Roosevelt Dam. Colonel Roosevelt who will preside at the exercises attendant upon the opening of the dam, will motor 75 miles across the desert and after taking part in the ceremony will spend the night In the town of Roosevelt, where they are to be held. This dam is regarded as one of the most remarkable feats of engineering In the west. It is 384 feet high from a parapet to the foundation and is 1,080 feet long on top. The waters held In check by this great structure will be used to irrigate more than 200.000 acres of land in the region of Phoenix. Arizona. In Los Angeles, Colonel Roosevelt will speak at the invitation of Governor Johnson of that Btate. The colonel talking on this portion of his trip spoke most enthusiastically of Governor Johnson. "Governor Johnson is a great friend of mine," he said, "and I gave him my promise to make one or two speeches in his great state." He will also journey to Pasadena, which is nearby, and deliver an addretis before the Throop Polytechnic institute. Kan Franciaeo, the termination of his transcontinental trip will receive some ten days of his time. Here he

I will divide his time between the uni versity of California at Berkeley, where he will deliver the Karl lectures, tdx In number, und his headquarters in the city where he will receive visitors from the Pacific slope. He May Visit Reno. No definite arrangements other than a personal promise to be present at the opening of the new Y. M. C. A. building at Reno, have been made, though it is probable that he will visit friends In Oregon and Nevada for Intermediate period, after which he will visit Seattle and Spokane. No speeches to be delivered in those states aro yet announced; nor is the length of his stay. At tho conclusion of his visit ho will probably go somewhere In Idaho; thence to Sand Point, Montana, and home through the north and middle west. TERRE HAUTE P. M. REPORTED TO TAFT Terre Haute. March R. William Shepherd, superintendent of the money order department of the postofflco has sent a long letter to President Taft concerning his personal treatment by post master Parker, alleging that the postmaster's feelings against him are due to his refusal to contribute to the special campaign fund collected by Alfred Larr, foreman of carriers last fall. While the letter deals with Shepherd's own affairs, he makes more serious charges. He alleges that the postmaster has taken money from the stamp clerk leaving his personal memorandum in its place and that he used employes for his personal service, such as making beo hives for his farm. WHILE IN SCHOOL GIRL GOES BLIND Carml. III., March 8. Miss Nora Dixon, tho slxteeu year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. V. Dixon, of Salem, was stricken with total blindness while attending school. She was sitting at a desk when she suddenly fell to the floor in a faint. AVhen picked up her eyesight was gone. Physicans who examined the girl fear that it is a permanent affliction, and assign nervousness and high tension at study as the cause. Immediate Effect of Great Kidney Remedy Is Soon Realized. I want to tell you what SwampRoot did for me. I waa completely broken down. My kidneys hurt me so that when I was down, I could not get up unless I took hold of something to pull myself up with. I would have to urinate five or six times during the night and it was full of sediment like brick dust. 1 tried different kinds of kidney pills, but they did nie no good. Someono told nie to try Swamp-Root. I had no faith in it but to please my wife. I purchased one bottle and took It. I saw It was beginning to help me and kept on taking it until I had taken six bottles and it straightened me out all right. Swamp-Root is the only medicine that did nie any good. I thought I would write this letter and tell everyone that Is afflicted as I was. to take Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root. The six bottles I took cost me five dollars, and did me five hundred dollars worth of good. Yours very truly. GIXMIGE II. HITRER. Atlanta. III. State of Illinois ss, Logan Count J I. M. M.

YOUNGER SENATORS GET PROMOTIONS Root Takes Hale's Place, Burton Enlisting in to Aldrich's Shoes.

Washington, D. C, March 8. "Dead men's Ehoes" were distributed among survival of the fittest Senators. This occurs every two years, when an average of fifteen senators leave the upper branch. Mr. Burton of Ohio was assigned the footgear formerly worn by Senator Aldrich, the titular and tactical leader of the senate. Mr. Burton filed on this specific desk the minute he heard the first rumor that Mr. Aldrich contemplated retirement to private life. Mr. Root will hereafter occupy the place formerly filled by Senator Hale. He was alive to the necessity for being quick and filed his claim when things began to look stormy up in Maine. Because of the November landslide there will be no further use for the Cherokee strip in the immediate future. With but fifty Republicans and forty-two Democrats there will bo sufficient seats on each side to aceommodate all comers and preserve the party lines intact. Availing themselves of the oppor tunity afforded, all the Republicans have moved over to their own place j except Senator LaFollette. He will have the distinction in the next Con- j gress of being the only Republican remaining on the Democratic side of the chamber. He will be there as a matter of choice and not necessity. The last seat on the Republican side is vacant and Mr. LaFollette could have it if he so desired. He prefers to remain apart from the general scramble for "dead men's shoes." His seat on the Democrat side will now be between Senators Percy and Hitchcock. The seat formerly held by Senator Spooner and more recently occupied by Mr. Beveridge will be taken by Mr. Briggs. Senator Bristow, the rampant progressive, will succeed to the advantageous seat of Senator Scott, the stalwart. Mr. Borah will take the seat of Mr. Carter. Senator Crawford will occupy the "hoodoo" desk, formerly held by Mr. Burkett. It is labeled with the fateful number 23 and its reputation for ill luck has always been maintained. Senator Cummins will take the seat of Mr. Dick, Mr. Jones that of Mr. Flint. Mr. Dixon that of Mr. Kean, Mr. Gronna that of Mr. Warner, Mr. Page that of Mr. Depew, Mr. Nixon that of Mr. Bulkeley and Mr. Lorimer that of Mr. Sutherland. In the new arrangement Senators Percy and John Sharp Williams, both of Mississippi, will be neighbors. Senators McLean, Works, Lippitt and Poindexter will all have end seats At Conkcy's

WHITE BLOOD WHAT THE INDIAN NEEDS (American News Service) Portland, Ore., March 8. If the Indian expects his children to survive he must mix with the whites. Investigation of Oregon tribes during the last 20-year period shows that full blooded natives have nowhere the chance for a ripe old age that half and quarter breeds do. The full bloods are dying fast, while the mixed breeds are surviving. The life on the reservations is killing them, it seems, whereas the admixture of native with civilized blood seems to result in a race that withstands civilized life. Major E. L. Swartzlanded, agent of the Umatilla Indian reservation, has found that of the 954 persons on the reservation in 1891, 430 have died during the past 20 years. The government wards are divided among three tribes, Umatilla, Cayuse and Walla Walla. The first two are composed almost wholly of pure bloods, while the third is made up almost exclusively of mixed bloods, only a few of the original Walla Wallas being alive. While 60 per cent of the Cayuse and Uumatilla tribes died, only 35 per cent of the Walla Wallas have passed to the happy hunting grounds. Mrs. Mary Ball;ny, the only member ot the state legislature of Wyoming, has been appointed on the credentials committee and on the standing committee for education and libraries. She first spoke in the legislature on public roads and later delivered a longer address on the bill for primary elections.

With Sunday school workers present from all over the state, the annual convention of the Minnesota Sunday School asi sociation opened in Mankato today, j j The sessions w ill continue over ThursI day and Friday, concluding Friday j night w ith a big parade.

Pearre of Chicago, one of the superintendents of the international associations; E. O. Sellers, director of music (in Moody Institute, Herbert O. Moninger of Cincinnati, and Rev. M. S. Rice I D. D., of Deluth. An American Invasion. We have often said that no European army could march far into the interior of our country because it would be annihilated without the necessity of defeating it in a pitched battle. If a German army takes Paris, the conquest is completed; if an army takes London. England would ask for peace as she accepted the Norman after Hastings, but when an English army took Washington it did not take time to cheer before starting back to its ships. If tjiere be disadvantage in having many capitals we are not without compensation to us the taking of Washington would mean no more than the taking of Baldwin or Sopchoppy.
