;
Referring in his speech at Cairo, j
111., to thegovernment's program
of sending the Atlantic fleet
around to the Pacific coast,
President Roosevelt said: "Inci
dentally, I think the voyage will
have one good effect, for, to
judge by their comments on the
I
,
movement, some excellent people
in my own section of the country 1
need to be reminded that the Pa- |
cific coast is exactly as much a
part of this nation as the Atlan-1
tic coast.
In these few words the presi- 1

dent has said just the right thing 1

proposed voyage. Uncle Sam's

.....
It this country were at war with I
,,
a Luropeau power, or with one j
that had or might seud a strong!
fleet into Atlantic waters,it would
be good policy to concentrate
our navy on the Atlantic coast.
In the abseuce of any sucli dan
ger the fleet may advisedly be
disposed of in a way that will
impress upon all people its na
tional significance.
In President Roosevelt's words
there is a mild rebuke to the sec
tionalism that, perhaps uncon
sciously, prevails in some locali
ties. He spoke less emphatically
than others might have done on
the same subject, but his words
were truly expressive of condi
tions that are known to exist in
parts of the east where the vision
is limited by prejudice or ignor
ance. Fortunately the ignorance
is gradually disappearing, but
the idea that the west is as much
a part of the nation as the east
seems slow in implanting itself in
some minds.-Spokesman-Review.

The Bloated Farmer.
The western states boast a
great deal about their bank de
posits. It is true that a single
bank of New York City has as
much money iu its coffers as do
all those of Kansas, for instance
—but in the latter case the sav
ings are not trust funds or specu
lators' accounts; they are those
of tens of thousands. of hard
working citizens, and represent
long days of toil beneath the
burning sun.
The ownership of the farmers'
comparatively plethoric bank
book has had a liberalizing effect.
The fateful things promised dur

have been forgotten. I he eapi
tahst, while perhaps not cousid

ered a comrade, is looked upon

* as having rights—an attitude
,
once unknown.
There is no more talk of elect
ing judges who will refuse to or
der mortgages foreclosed. For
one thing, there are few mort
gages to foreclose, and, for an
other, the westerner is in favor of
enforcing the law to the utmost,
since the local loan fund is a
staple source of investment in
these latter days.
The material welfare that has
; come out of eight years of abund
ance is easily outlined. It is ex
pressed in a catalogue of canceled j
mortgages, new dwellings, re
funded bonds, swollen bank de- ,
j
.
P<»its and improved belongings. ,
In some sections the trans

The Richmond, Va., Times-Dis
patch of the date of October 4th,
contains among its notes of the
Episcopal convention in that city
special mention of three of the Ida
ho representatives, Bishop Funsten
of Boise, Archdeacon Jennings of
Nampa, and Colonel T. R. Hamer
of St. Anthony, lay delegate to the
House of Deputies. Of Archdeacon
Jennings, who for the third time
has been selected to represent his
section in the church councils of
the east, the paper says:
"The venerable Samuel J. Jen
nings of Nampa, Idaho, clerical
delegate to the House of Deputies,
has been for many years a pioneer
minister of religion in Wyoming
and Idaho. Extraordinary interest
attaches to his personality and his
career. No man is a more welcome
guest than he. His fund of enter
taining reminiscence is inexhaust
ible and boys and girls of all sizes,
sorts and conditions share the de
light of their parents and friends in
his stories of the frontier, of In
dians, wild beasts, adventurous
travel and hardships, quaint char
acters and humor and primitive
uuoouthness. This clerical Othello,
master at first hand of narrative, is
fluent and interesting as a public
speaker, a clergyman of high char
acter and earnest purpose, with the
practical experience which adapts
him peculiarly to share in the com

I do not believe that our efforts

effect upon the permanent prosper

Secretary R.oot in Mexico.
Americans can learn many les
sons in politeness from cultivated
Mexicans. Some of their ways can
be understood by the way they are
treating Secretary Root. He was
met and welcomed by the great
Diaz himself, who among the great
men of this age. in our estimation,
stands where Cromwell stood when
the world needed an anchor and
human liberty a strong support.
All the way to the capital he was
greeted everywhere by great crowds
and unlimited cordiality and en
thusiasm, and. arriving there, a
castle was set aside for his use "as
long as he would do Mexico the
honor to remain."
And Secretary Root is wearing
the honors showered upon him with
consummate tact. He tells his
callers that he is in Mexico to dis
cuss with their government matters
relating to the governments of Cen
tral America.
tral America.
At a dinner he welcomed the
growing closer relationship between
the United States and Latin Amer
ica, especially those states that
cluster around the Caribbean sea.
That Secretary Root is a very
It is a wonder to us
great man.
that the chiefs of the Republican
party do not gathe raround him
and make him their candidate next
year. He has every needed quali
fication and his temperament is of
that kind that never follows an
impulse into the fire. He is a
scholar, lawyer, statesman and an
American who holds the honor of
native land above fortune or life.
He would make a President that
all the world would revere.—Good
