President Roosevelt’s recent tour through the Southern United States was a success, and saw him give speeches to many enthusiastic audiences along the way. In addition to visiting several state capitals, Roosevelt visited his mother’s hometown of Roswell, Georgia, and spoke with a number of people who knew her. Other highlights of Roosevelt’s trip included a stop he made at Tuskegee, Alabama, and a speech he made at Little Rock, Arkansas, where he spoke out against lynching. In an editorial, the Christian Herald praises Roosevelt’s trip as having been very productive in demonstrating that the North and South have put away the resentment which had previously existed between them. Other articles present on these pages include editorials on life insurance management, missionary work in India, commentary on “National righteousness,” and a request for charitable contributions.
