NORFOLK Va., June 13.?The National the Idltorlal Association, meeting at the tr>-; amestown exposition, spent a large part f today on a pilgrimage to Jamestown yiri stand, where they visited the scenes of the hav riginal Jamestown settlement. There was "T1 ome speechmaklng on the boat going and wc eturnlng from the island. Last night the national editors held a lemorial service for the members who had lied during the past year. One of the most notable papers read be- non ore the association was that of Crosby S. 'n 1 ?oyes, editor of The Washington Star, a lc irhose subject was "Journalism Since ilca amestown." Mr. Noyes said: nen The Captain John Smith. The Standing here on the ground so thorough- or o y identified with the name of Capt.

In 1G31, at the age of fifty-one. an I He served In the continental wars of the of t lerlod; then, desiring to see more of the tior vorld, he enlisted In the war against the prei rurks. He was captured and reduced to evei lavery by the Turks, where he was treat- pori id with brutal Indignity; but he killed his We iruel master and fled for his life on his it i iwner's horse, and after terrible hard- Moi ihlps endured for nineteen days he reached rigl i Russian outpost on the River Don; o hence, after various desperate adventures gre ?y sea ana lana, ne returned 10 n.ngianu, wai eaching his home In 1004, when he was tjje :wenty-flve years old. tjpj In the next year (1005) the restless ad- out venturer entered upon another career of altj wonderful experiences, throwing himself mpetuously Into the colonizing projects of Kee ;he day, and for the settlement of Vlr- 0 jlnla. lie Joined the expedition of the t~\ London Company for South Virginia, that sailed December, 160C. Hardly had the ex- i, sedition got under way when Smith's itren- v;r jous disposition to be doing something in n the line of bettering the loose condition of be affairs on board, brought him Into col- cou llslon with the lazy loafers, the know- the nothings and the mollycoddles of the party. RP? rhey revolted against his leadership, and wai plotted to hang him on the false charge of to conspiracy; but they failed In their project. Mr On landing, on the 2flth of April, 1H07, on the island they named Jamestown, they do^ refused to allow him to take his seat as It i councilman, to which office he had been rec appointed. anc A Strenuous Character. He challenged their charges, and, as w? T ire told, so established his Innocence that Ma President Wingfield was adjudged to give Jou lim ?200 as damages. He was then admit- the ed to the council. Thereafter Smith was fou .he life and soul of the colony. He com- ver jelled the loafers to work, declaring that twc ;hose who would not work should starve. Many times he saved the colony from atlc itarvation by his daring enterprise, through a ( which, by diplomacy and the force of gun- sm. jowder, he succeeded In procuring supplies )f Indian corn. In one of these expeditions Thi le was captured by the Indians, carried be- g{a 'ore the "Sour King Powhatan" (as Smith Xre lescribed him), condemned to death, and n-hen the fatal club was hanging over his ma lead was saved from death by the inter- t position of the adorable Pocahontas. jnt The story of this rescue has been dis- ]jnl puted, but there is no way in which her 0? constant efforts afterward for the welfare g Df the colonists can be explained, except on jn ? :he theory that her sympathies and perhaps ler affections had been warmly enlisted in naj uehalf of Smith on this occasion. jBSl John Smith then established good rela- en0 ions with the Indians, and administered ma; he colony with masterly effectiveness. But arr >n the arrival of a fresh body of 500 disor- no ierly colonists, who refused to acknowledge his leadership, his authority came to in end. r >p We can fancy the quitters, the standpat- p :ers, the do-nothings, the know-nothings, :he reactionaries and the mollycoddles sit- W'1 ing around on the tree stumps at James- sen own, grumbling about the beastly climate, flve lie blarsted mosquitoes, and the bloody diet >f Indian corn provided by Smith; and jlanning to kill him and sa:I away for Eng- eno and. con Then when he was disabled by an explo- nal iion of gunpowder and was obliged to go 'na' lome for surgical treatment, never to re- ?' :urn to Virginia, his enemies thought they sPe vere happily rid of him, but they soon am' ame to realize what they had lost by his P'c( lenarture. In the winter after he left. Pur itarvation <?ame upon them, and, lacking ant' lis energetic aid, they were reduced to the *'ua no.st desperate straits to sustain existence. Pic( Jut of -MM) persons in the colony in October, tiv< IGWi, when Smith left the colony, all but Pur died by the following March. the One of the" sixty survivors of "the starv- pM' ng tline," Richard Potts, gave a remark- 'n t ible expression of his exalted estimate of sco. Smith's character as follows: tha "What shall I say, but thus we lost him, he hat in all his proceedings made justice raoi lis first guide, and experience his second; is ver hating baseness, sloth, pride and un- life vorthiness more than any dangers; that rnir lever allowed more for himself than his val loldiers with him; that upon no danger Ha vould send them where he would not lead divi hem himself; that would never see us want ere: vhat he either had or could by any means key ret us; that would ratl.er want than bor ow, or starve than not pay; that loved ac- ma] ions more than words, and hated falsehood caij md covetousness worse than death; whose rap ulventures were our lives, and whose loss egc, )ur deaths." <ou What a fine, noble character Is here pre- ' ? iented In this voluntary tribute by one who tad served with Smith and knew him well. Another writer speaks of him ns broad- T ninded and unselfish, as "the statesman, cuj? he soldier, the writer, the navigator, the ? f ;xplorer, who founded the English race in Vmerica." carl His biographer, Tudor Jenks, says "this T! jrave, patient, resoureeiui, nonest English- ties nan and soldier has been awarded n lower h ,, >laee In history than he has earned." Fohn Smith and Theodore Roosevelt, of Capt. John Smith's achievements In the vay of planting and sustaining the Eng- thei lsh colony under the most formidable dlffl- T ultles were as worthy of glorification as In < he deeds of Theodore Roosevelt, but he ?y i lacked the aid of the newspaper press that k111 has so greatly helped the latter In his up- any ward career. tert The newspapers have given Mr. Roose- a 8 ,-elt their vigorous support in his reform or x>licies; have exploited all his sayings and lian loings through the twenty-four hours pf Th? :he day; glorified the man find his work T ind made his name a household word in a" ?very home in the land. mei Mr. Koosrveu nas seemea somewhat slow ule In acknowledging his indebtedness to the tho press, but perhaps he will think of it some tlle day when he is not too busy. lovl He Needed the Newspapers. pap Capt.

No Reporters. lit the title of "newspaper" was a misler, for the journals published anywhere Surope or America in those days.

Gen. Lafayette. who was then ting a tour of the country and was welled everywhere with unprecedented ensiasm, was present; and this fact, toler with the fame of the orator, drew Immense throng of people from all parts :he country. This Bunker Hill celebrai, with the speech of Webster, and the sence af Qen. Lafayette, was the great nt of the period, yet there was no reter present to note the proceedings.

Vast crowds assembled whenever re was an opportunity to hear him ak; yet, incredible as it may seem, there s not a reporter present on this occasion make a record of this notable speech.

Steam-Engine in Breeches. Daniel Webster was once characterized as "a steam-engine In breeches." This appellation fits Theodore Roosevelt?the Incarnation of restless energy?much better than IVfthotar nrhnoo err a a nnarprH of mind and body were displayed with a stately dignity that did not comport with the driving powers of a steam-engine. % Theodore Roosevelt is a steam-engine working always under high pressure. He works all day under full steam, and when he takes an hour or two in the evening for recreative exercise he goes off like a steamengine. If he starts out for a walk he rushes at a pace that speedily put him out of sight of the companion who has unwarily accepted an invitation to accompany him. If on horseback. the result is the Barne. Away he goes in the lead, making desperate Jumps over high fences and wide watercourses. If he hunts bears, or plays golf, or foot ball, or lawn tennis, It is ever in like fashion; whether he hunts, rides, walks or plays, he always goes at it in steam-engine style. With his remarkable equipment of strength of mind and body and his apparently unlimited powers of endurance, he Beems qualified to continue ttirs not pace indefinitely. But very few people are built that way, and It Is not a wise thine to do to encourage the unfit multitude to run their motors at high speed when they have not the strength or intelligence to guide them properly. The Strenuous Life. Mr. Roosevelt said In his address on "The Strenuous Life," delivered in Chicago, April 10, 180JC "1 wish to -preach, not the doctrine of ignoble ease, but the doctrine of the strenuous life, the life of toll and effort, or labor and strife; to preach that highest form of success which comes not to the man who desires mere easy peace, but to the man who does not shrink from danger, from hardship, or from bitter toil, and who out of these wins the splendid ultimate triumph." This is admirable doctrine In a way, and in this case at least Mr. Roosevelt practices what he preaches by devoting all his energies to the exposition of the life of effort. labor and strife which wins the splen did ultimate triumph. But it will bo noted that he nowhere has a word urging the practica of the rules of equity, even-handed justice, the spirit of toleration, and the exercise of the reasoning powers, and a calm, temperate judgment in the transactions of life. He preaches always the gospel of hurry. You must not be lazy, and you must do things always on the rush. This Impetuous haste with which Mr. Roosevelt does things is the cause of many of his errors of judgment. Boosevelt Unique. Theodore Roosevelt is an unique specimen, incapable of classification. He Is a law to himself. His activities range from the colossal to the infinitesimal. By a masterly feat of statesmanship he puts an end to a great and appallingly destructive war between two nations on the other side of the globe; earning thereby the Nobel prize and the applause of the world. Then he stoops to a petty, fussy attempt to prevent his cabinet officers and other subordinates and visitors to the White House from talking to the reporters. President Roosevelt has performed a wonderful work at the time when It was most needed. His appearance In the field Just when the Harrimans and the Rockefellers and the rest of the grabber gang were In the act of strangling all individual enterprise and effort was as opportune as the arrival of the Monitor at Fortress Monroe when the ironclad Merrimac had come out to finish up the work of destroying all our wooden navy. Press and Presidents. Our rulers, state or national, since the days of Gov. Berkeley, have, with two or three exceptions, been on friendly terms with the press. Andrew Jackson owed the success of his administration, next to his own vigorous personality, to the services of the able newspaper men he had around him, who supported his policies, cudgeled his enemies and licked his crude but forceful utterances Into shape. While he had capable men for his official advisers, he relied >urgh 6 71th St. 417 to From Our Knit Un< Women's Jersey-tittlng Vests, low , neck anil no sleeves; well shaped. 23c value.

Abraham Lincoln and William MeKlnley, the kindliest and most tactful of our Presidents, were the most considerate In their treatment of the press. James Buchanan, with characteristic Inaptness, got Into collision with the press very early In his administration; and he made the great mistake of his life when he undertook to punish that very able journalist and politician. John W. Forney, who had made him President. forney had the presumption to criticise some of Buchanan's weak, vacillating policies, thereby Incurring the vindictive hostility of the latter. Buchanan contemptuously styled Forney "a dead duck:" but the editor lived long enough to see Buchanan leave the White House In disgrace, and to give vigorous aid himself to the work of putting Abraham Lincoln in the place he had so feebly filled. Grover Cleveland during his flr9t term was complaisant to the press, though never very cordial. But on his second terft). Inflated with the Idea of his own | greatness, he first assumed a condescending and then a menacing tone toward the press. Then when he undertook to champion the infamous Queen Lll, who insisted upon killing all the missionaries who hnd taken part In her deposition from the Hawaiian mrone, ne was snarpiy criticised by the preps for his un-American. un-Christian course. He hotly resented these censures and sought to Vunlsh the offending Journals by cutting off all access to news sources at the White House and at the departments; but he did not succeed, and , Dan. Lamont, his best friend and most sagacious adviser, was the first to revolt t against Cleveland's order, and he gave out all the news on hand, with strict Impartiality to friend or foe of the administration, among the newspaper men. Dan. Lamont had a mind of his own, and was not so subservient to presidential dictation as some later cabinet oflicers have been. Theodore Roosevelt during his first term was In very cordial relations with the newspaper men, and expressed a hearty ap- ! preciation of their services in his support all through Ms career, from the time when he first entered upon Ills reform crusade as civil service commissioner in Washing ton. But, entering upon his second term, a little Inflated, perhaps, by his election by such an overwhelming majority, he took on a somewhat dictatorial tone toward the press. He seemed to think, and with some reason, that he had been commissioned by the people to carry out, with autocratic powers, his grand schemes for the correction of great public abuses. He had an intense desire to accomplish this herculean task in the briefest time possible, and he was impatient of any criticisnj^or question of his infallibility as to the manner of his going about the big Job. "Fearless and Truthful Criticism'' Wanted. He lias declared himself in favor of "clean, healthy newspapers, witli clean, healthy criticisms, which shall be fearless and truthful;" but when It comes to the test, it is seen that he does not relish these lciti ifPS cilia u uiiuui LI iin iriiua ? ncii mcj are exercised at his expense.

That, acting in haste, when some callow youngster catcnes ins capricious raney, ne Jumps him into high office over the heads of men of experience and tested ability, he does grave injustice to a set of meritorious officers who are entitled by every consideration of right to promotion in regular order. That if he would stop io county twentyfive (the old admonition given to hastytongued people) before yielding to the temptation to can reputable* citizens liars and horse thieves, it might save him some violations of good manners and good taste, and would make him a better exemplar to the youth of the country, who are looking to him for guidance in the conduct of life. That it would be advisable for him to go a little slow when undertaking to concen trate all the powers of government at the White House. These are among the numerous sugges- tlonB made by the press to the President.

In the proper appreciative spirit? Not a bit of It. He goes on In his old way, doing things In a hasty. Ill-considered manner, and his output of vituperous epithets is rather larger than ever. ? No Quarrel With the President. But the newspaper men have no quarrel with tlie President. There is some friction between them, but no rupture; and Secretary Loeb dispenses the White House news with tact and intelligence. And whether Mr. Roosevelt Is elected by acclamation for a third term, or rules by deputy In the shape of a President designated by him, or whether, after an Interval of four years, he shall again take the presl aency, ne will receive the cordial support of the press in all his great efforts for the public good and the national welfare. At the* same time, the press will reserve the right to "fearlessly and truthfully" criticise his acts when they are inconsiderate and unjust. The newspapers have nothing to ask of him but fair treatment. They will not b? unduly elated If he pats them on the back, and their equanimity will not be greatly disturbed should he give them the cold shoulder. They hold themselves to be ordained preachers as well as Mr. Iloosevelt. miu niey win Keep irieir puipits lor ail time, for Presidents may come and Pre?dents may go, but the press, like Tennyson's brook, goes on forever. Mr. Roosevelt has no real animoiity to the press, and I fancy he has no keener enjoyment In life than In association with bright newspaper men; as. for instance, at a Gridiron dinner, when, after a busy day superintending the affairs of the universe, he drops in upon one of these entertainments an\i enters into the spirit of the occasion with all the glee of a school boy Just let out for the holidays; and his laughter Is the heartiest to be heard when the Gridiron boys are giving him a pretty hot roast Dver some of his official eccentricities. After all, Theodore Roosevelt Is a good deal of a boy yet, as well as a most masterful President! The Era of Good Feeling. Since the time when Horace Greeley, using epithets as sultry as any In the ricli White House vocabulary, shouted to- the venerable poet-editor, William Culvert Bryant, "You lie, you villain, and you know Pt!" the newspapers, growing ashamed of these coarse brutalities of speech, hav.i some to the use of a more polished weapon than the meat-ax In their warfares. They :arry on their controversies, for the most part, with dignity and good temper. They have no sectional bickerings as of jld. The era of good feeling now existing jetween the north and the south, the wearers of the blue and the gray, has been Drought about largely through the influ ?nce 01 tne press. in vius trappy wiimv such press organizations as the National Editorial Association, the Gridiron Club of Washington and kindred associations throughout the country have been important factors.
