Whatever have bees the fears of the enemies or the hopes of the friends of Theodore Roosevelt, president of the United 8tales, that he would again stand for the Republican nomination, they are forever aet at rest by hto reiteration of. the simple 'declaration cade the night he know the people of the anion had overwhelmingly elected him.

In perfect frankaes* that perhaps no man could bare defeated him. With the corporations and the vested inter ests. Theodore Roosevelt today to the most bated aad mos^ feared man living. Bat it to not to be gainsaid that with the mimes, the men whose votes make or camake. he to stronger, bigger and more powerful than ever. For months there have been clamorous, f insistent demands from thou In opposition for a specific statement from the president. To thou who know the man. who have studied hto career, who understand that under the eerentrid'.le* of tremendous power, driving him like a dynamo to do things, there to the basic principle of meaning what he sayu. hto statement, made that November night In 1*M. that be would not be a can didate for the presidency again, sufficed.

But the swift unfolding of events within the past several mouths, the straightaway, driving Mows President Roosevelt has dealt lawlea* corporations, tent a riot of panic tear through them alL Candidates who have felt the bossing of the bee. aad the petty enemies that swana about the man wbo dares end doe*, have all Insisted oa soother declara tion of renunciation.

We quote the above with a measure of satisfaction from a commu nication on the “Education of tbe Negro." by O. Ounby Jordan, of Co lombo*. Oa.. printed Jn a recent issue of The Tradesman and reprinted In Monday’s Georgia* There to evidenced In many quarters an awakening to this Important phase of the prohIMUon movement in the South. Its bearing upon the material welfare of the negro race undoubtedly worked weightily In the deliberations and final actions of tbs Georgia aad Alabama legislatures. It will play aa equally important port In similar movements in other Southern state* For many years prohibition or any form of anti-liquor agitation. North or 8outh. was regarded entirely from a moral point of view, both by it* advocates and opponent* The material side was either overlooked pr put aside aa lacking the' qualities necessary to the eras- . tlon of public sentiment or the making of vote* There seemed always a> disposition on the pert of those who waged It to Import to such s cam paign as much of tbe spectacular and perfervid a* possible. Prayers aad tears—good things In their places—were relied upon almost solely to arouse the public to a tense of lu welfare and lu duty in the matter. Tbe material side was considered as apart from Instead of as a pan of the moral. Thus an unfortunate suggestion of the fanatical came inva riably to be associated in the minds et many with temperance move- inept* aad those who gave their time and thought and money to tbe work to which they bad consecrated themselves were looked upon aa - dreamers or crank* Hence came the sneering designation of them aa Tong-haired men and short-haired women." But that.time has passed. The personnel of the workers has not materially changed, though many of the pioneer* have peered to their reward* qnd great numbers of recruit* have been added to the cans* Only in the methods adopted, growing out of a broader view of the ques tion. doe* the temperance movement of today differ from that of the past. ■ When rich men as Ounby Jordan, philanthropist, sociologist, educa tor end mighty captain of industry, commit themselves to the view of the question expressed above, it may be accepted that the prohibition movement tests strongly upon a thorough understanding of both the moral' and material welfare of tbs whole people. > KNOW HOW TO BE IDLE. Mqst of us know people who religiously keep busy every waking moment, and even grudge the time they give to sleep. Such folks look with disapproval upon those wbo Idle away a portion of each day. no matter how small that portion may be. But what aa unmitigated bore those re slots are who brag that they are never Idle.* T never sit down without some work In my hand*" said the never Idle woman, and then she goes to work and embroider* flowers oa a piece of white line* Yet, strange to say, the criticises as laay a womfa who refuses to embroider a stitch, but who spends her time lying back In a steamer chair gating at the real flowers la her garde* “How can you sit there doing nothing?" asks the energetic woman as her needle gore ta and out the doth, while tbe silks shape themselves Into a poor imitation of a rose. The idle woman would find It useless to explain that embroidering to a waste of time when one can sit and gate upon the beaaty of the real flowers. The busy woman would not under stand it if explanations were made to her until doomsday. Beware of the men and women who tell you they never waste a mo ment They are bad erample* Don't tallow team. No one can be se riously occupied all Ms waking moments aad have Ml the work he does amount to something. Such a thing teat within human possibility. It's tbe man wbo knows when to be idle whose work to worth white. But there are those wbo say. *Tm never happy unless I am busy." When people feel this way there's aotssthing wrong with them. It’s true enough that the happiest folks la the world are those who have regu lar duties to perform each day. Just aa sure aa you see any one cutting tones from an toeh regular duties yon may expect to see Mm unhappy before very. long. But tbe one who must always be busy to be happy has a queer disposition. There la so much beauty in nature. In art. la book* to music, in con genial companionship that the right-balanced mind should be able to find keen happiness whenever duties can be set aside long enough for these other things to claim first attention. Bat the gospel of activity to so continually preached nowadays that men aad women almost appsar ashamed to' acknowledge that they can enjoy relaxation. Some day It will be different. And when that day arrives women will be ashamed to show tbe fine sewing they're dose aad the rows of canned fruit in their cellars If their eyes are bofiow aad . their checks thin- And men will be loath to acknowledge that'they have broken down because they had tong considered It unbecoming or eaneceesary some times to be idle. We are hearing a great deal these days about bow the cMidrsa la the large cities are being taught bow to play. It ta said that many of them have no idea of bow really to play. Why act tare the business men taught bow to play, too? And some housekeepers, also? Teach the business man that it tent the number of bouts he puts fa at hto work that to going to count so much as what be accomplishes in tbe end. Teach Mm that be should find it possible to enjoy other thing* than hard work, and if be doesn't something to wrong with Mm. Teach the woman that shall accomplish mos: when ate baa learned how to be idle- These lessons learned will insure fewer doctor's bills and happier bomaa. And remember this: If you're Mae whenever you're not busy, then you're living an artificial life, no matter bow bard you work or how sin cere you may imagine yourself to be. Those who are living normally and are tm the right track ought to be able to enjoy an Idle day ar Longfellow showed be canid when Be penned the lines: “Ob, gift of God. oh. perfect day, Whereon shall no man work, but May: Whereon it is enough for me Not to be doing, but to be."
