TIE address of Professor Booker t.
WAsHrxer On at Atlanta, Georgis, Mon
dav. September 25th. was in keeping
with his recent utterances and en-
braced plea for his own people which
was far-reaching and effective
This distinguished leader seems to
have at last fully realized the respon-
sibility OF his position and the inru-
ence which he can now exert in behalf
of an oppressed and much maligned
people.
When Prof. WAsHINGroN speaks, the
country listens. He administered q
rebuke to the lynchers by commencing
Governor CANDLER for his manly atti-
tude in preventing lynchings.
But no nsser lion of his will attract
greater attention or serve mora to en-
phasize all that he said than the fol-
lowing:
an connection with the efforts
the Negro himself to improve aud
opey the law, it is most important
the preseub ttAc sAnS -
ity see to it that the law is enforced IN
the interests OF black men and white
men alike"
This is our plea, Prof. Washington
This is the problem which may bt
summed up in the declaration that II
is q uestion whether or not the white
man will enforce and respect his Owl
laws.

ed States among the natives. State
ments TO this effect are frequently
made IN communication received at
the War Department. from officers at
Manils. While 40 official sdviees have
been received confrmatory OF the re-
port that Gen. Otis proposes TO recon-
mend the public execution OF two men
OF the Sixteenth Regular Infantry for
having crimInally assaulted native wo-
men, the officials are inclined to agree
that some radical action is necessary
to counteract the feeling existing
among the Fihpinos, due to the treas T.
ment Of their wives aud daughters by
certain American soldiers"
And again:
cit is no Sc sret that the departure OF
the volunteers from Manila lifted q
load Of embarrassment from the should
ers OF the officials. reports which have
been received at the department. show
that an unusually large number OF men
have been tried on charges growing
out OF complaints made by native wo-
men. and while the majority have been
acquitted, some few have been held
and It is the opinion that the court was
disposed TO be ienient."
Let as presume for an instant that
these troops had beer colored instead
OF white. A howl would have beer
raised from one end Of the United
States to the other.

"An examination of the rolls Of the

PROTZMAN,
he Photographer,

THE winter weather of the past
few days is hard to improve upon.
The temperature remains at one
place and the nerves of everyone are
not wrung with torturing changes.
If the weather man wants the sincere
gratitude of everyone he will con-
tinue to run things on the same even
plane that he has been pursuing for
the past few days.
A NUMBER of gentleman interested
in the west side coal field were here
on Saturday making some investiga
tions with the view to possibly MAX
ing large purchase. 1t necessarily
follows that these gentlemen have
reason to think that the railroad on
that side will be built before a great
while. In any event it is safe to say
that it will come within year or
two.
