ROOSEVELT’S RECEPTION.
Enthusiastic Welcome of Honored Pres
ident to Capital City of Arkansas.
For the second time in the
history of the state, Arkansas on
Wednesday welcomed a chief
executive of the nation in the
person of President Theodore
Jt Roosevelt. In the cordiality and
' scope of his welcome, there was
, no trace of political differences
or lack of enthusiastic hospitality.
Visitors from every part of the
. state augmented the big crowds
f' of the capital city, despite the
threatening attitude of the
weather and the whole city was
a mass of national decorations.
The presidential train reached
Argenta at 9:20, where the re
ception committee welcomed the
distinguished visitor and from
Big-Rock the party were driven
to Fort Roots, attended by an
escort of honor, known as the
“Blue and the Gray,” consisting
of twelve Union and twelve Con
federate veterans.
After a brief inspection of the
fort, the party set out for the
^ city, reaching there shortly be
fore noon. The streets were
jammed with people and the
President was given a continual
ovation enroute to the City Park
Hand was kept busy bowing his
thanks to the people.
Thirty thousand people gath
ered to hear the President, but
only a small percent were, in
range of his voice. George W.
Rogers, president of the Little
^ R6ek board of trade, presided,
■^introducing Governor Davis, who
extended a hearty welcome and
expressed the hope that this
visit would teach him more of
the true nature of southerners.
Judge Trieber also spoke, de
claring that the welcome was
. a tribute to the President’s sin
- cerity and ability and that he
was looked upon as a comrade
by the people without respect to
party affiliations.
ROOSEVELT APPLAUDED.
When President Roosevelt
arose, such a mighty cheer went
forth that several minutes
elapsed before he could proceed.
He expressed his gratitude and
appreciation of the magnificent
greeting and especially of the
veterans of the blue and the
gray, declaring that “there
could be no better augury than
that the escort of an American
president should be those who
once were enemies walking
shoulder to shoulder. ’ ’
He referred to his good fortune
in commanding a regiment, in
1898, declaring that the fathers
of more of his men wore the
“ gray than the blue, but the only
fi rivalry was to do the most good
for their common country. To
| jpraise one state, it was not
\ necessary to run another down
and the average Americans be
ing pretty good fellows, all they
needed was to know each other.
“What is true of sections, is
true of occupations and positions
and we must see that there
shall never come any antagon
isms between classes or between
capital and labor. Treat each
man according to his worth as a
man. Don’t hold it for or
against him that he is either rich
or poor. But if he is rich and
crooked hold it against him; if
not rich but crooked, then hold
it against him. Distrust ail who
would have any ore class placed
before any other. Other repub
lics have fallen because of the un
scrupulous rich or poor who gain
ed ascendency, who substituted
! loyalty to class for loyalty to the
people as a whole. Abhor the
insolence and arrogance of the
rich who look down upon the
poor; if they lost their wealth,
they would be ready to plunder
the rich, and the unscrupulous
poor man who becomes ri :h
would oppress the poor. The
man who is true to you is the
ultimately righteous, and the
man who will steal for you will
steal from you. The man who
seeks to persuade you that he,
will benefit you by wronging
anyone else will wrong you when
it will benefit him.
Referring to the race problem
to which Gov. Davis had alluded,
the President said:
‘ ‘The worst enemy of the neg
ro race is the negro criminal and
above all the criminal of the hid
eous type so often hideously |
avenged. Every reputable col
ored man owes the duty to him
self and his race to hunt down
the criminal. Now as to the
white man's side: To avenge
one hideous crime by another is
to reduce the avenger to the i
bestial level. Another thing
which makes this lynch law so!
abhorrent is that three-fourths 1
of the crimes for which it is in-!
yoked are for others than that
against the women of the eoun-!
try. Governor, you and 1 and I
all others in authority, owe it to;
our people to drive out the re
proach and the menace of lynch
law in the United States.
“We cannot afford to be divid
ed on questions of mere partis- ;
ianship, for comparatively the
difference of tariff and the cur
rency are of no consequence.
After all the real question is that
of decency in the life" of the
home and honesty in public life.
It makes little difference in the
long run whether a Democrat or
Republican is president, but it
makes every difference to have i
all our public officials honest and 1
clean. The candidate is the1
candidate of his party, but the
president, if be is worth *his
salt, is the president of the
whole people. You can’t have
good public life unless you have
good private life. The country ■
will be all right if the average
man is decent and clean in his
home life; but if it goes below
that average, you can’t make
the country right. I have a
great respect for a good man,
and the only one 1 have greater
respect for is a good woman, and
if there is any one here who'
does not agree with me, I don’t!
think much of him.
LUNCHEON AT CONSISTORY. i
Following the exercises at the
City Park, the presidential par
ty was driven to the Albert Pike
Consistory, corner Eighth and ;
ocott streets, wnere juncneon

KING OUT Of RACE.
Senator Dave King Withdraws Freni
Gubernatorial Campaign Because
of Davis-Little Combination
Little Rock, Oct. 25.—The an
nouncement tnat Hon. D. L. King
has withdrawn from the guber
natorial race narrows the 2;.,...
dowrn to three men, Hon. R ' or*
L. Rogers, now attorney-genei
al, Hon. J. S. Little, member of
congress, and Hon. S. Q. Sevier,
sheriff of Ouachita county.
Mr. King in his announcement
of withdrawal stated that the
combinations are too strong for
a man of his financial standing
and condition to cope with. Thi- ,
reminds the public of the letter
of Hon. John P. Logan in this
regard last w7eek in which he
made the statement that he was
a poor man and for that reason
would be unable to continue the
fight. Evidently the combina
tion to which he refers is the
combination of Davis and Little.
When King came out he expect
ac! fVicmwcirt cmrl rrf
Gov. Davis.
