Mistake Of an ARMY Surgeon.

The medical records OF Company RI OF
the list present an odd case OF mistaken
diagnosis. During the night attack OF
San Juan Hill q private named NARROW
was lying some distance back OF tine
trenches. and just behind him lay
Corporal Sutton. All the men here were
exposed 10 "a raking lire, and at a certain
moment sutton lifted himself a little
and turned 20 bid some soldiers behind
him lie closer 10 the ground. That second
a Mauser bullet passed clean through
Marlow's body. entered sutton's back,
passed nearly through his body ana land
ed against "a rib on the right side, which
was fractured. simultaneously with this
shot sutton turned 10 the front, and.
feeling the jar on his broken rib but teel-
Ing nothing in the back, concluded he hai
been struck in the breast. And so he
reported 10 the doctor VINO Nun
a little later.
The doctor ound a bruise on the right
side and "a rib in two pieces. but saw no
bullet wound. since none was there. So
his diagnosis was that sutton had been
injured by tho butt OF his own rifle,
driven into his SIDE when the bullet from
MarlOw's body struck %. AND This opln-
ion was confirmed in the hospital latei
on. was confirmed again on board tne
transport. and 10 was not until sutton
reached the hospital at Newport News
weeks after the shooting. that the bullet
hole in his back was discovered n me
bullet itself located near the fractured
rib.
In explanation Of this seemingly inn
probable affair. Il should be borne IN mind
that soldiers on the field Of battle have no
chance TO take their shirts off for days
no o time. Also. that the small wounds
OF entry by Mauser bullets often bleed
not al an. but close up quickly, leaving
only "A small red mark. easily overlooked.
Finally IL was natural that sutton should
think that the injury had been inflicted
where the brulse WAS u whore he felt
tho pain. How can q man DO expected

has been caused by a blow from With

We are hearing a good deal now about
the anti-monopoly, antitrust policy of
the Democratic party. The idea seems
TO be that the next national battle will
be fought largely on that issue, and that
the Democratic party Will make some
sort OF promise TO the people that If
successful. it will down the trusts.
We confess that we do not know just
what that means. There is, of course, a
good deal Of %demagogy i'm the cry, but
there are many good. conscientious peo-
ple who have AN idea that the trusts
must be throttled and that the Demo-
cratic party is going to do it. But how?
What do our friends mean by "throt-
thing the trusts?" Are they going 10
destroy the property of the great organi-
cations of the country, such as the
American Sugar Refining Company and
the STANDARD Oil Company, and all the
rest? DO they mean 10 say that they
are going TO drive these people out OF
business. and Il. their great enterprises
come to naught? Is Il possible hat The
Democratic party. which is oistinctively
a party Of individual liberty, the party
Of progress and development. the party
which guarantees TO every man pro-
lection Of life and property. is it pos
slble. we ask. that this party Is going 10
destroy property and deprive men Of their
reht to conduct their business In their
own way
We say that we do not know what our
friends mean 10y his cry Of Down with

4 SENSIBLE NEGRO.

on more than one occasion We have
called attention TO the fact that tho negro
who claims the right 10 take a prominent
part i'm the government Of this country
and who claims to be a good American
citizen. IS in fact a nationalist; that me
cares nothing for States rights. and is
forever calling upon tho Federal govern
ment to pass laws 20 coerco the individ-
ual states as to their policy toward the
negro.
We are a bit surprised 20 find our con-
tention supported by q prominent negro
I'm South Carolina. Thomas Z. Miller. who
was at one time a rampant politician, but
who is now at the head of the Colored
Normal and Industrial College Of South
Carolina. In an address at spartanburg
M the Emancipation Day celebration he
emphasized the fact that the central idea
Of the federal government was the indi-
vidual sovereignty Of each state; that
the development of this idea was en-
larged upon by jefferson and excmplihed
AZ all times Of our national existence. by
every great leader. Republican or Demo-
crat. whenever the rights Of any one OF
their states were interfered with.
Continuing along his line. he admon-
isbed his hearers that the negro must so
live I'm the south. as TO prove by his acts
that his only hope is confined within the
limits of the state in which he lives. 1T
is better by far" said he, "to have no
political hope than to have one that IS
predicated upon national aid. national
protection. or national interference on our
behalf"
II is a well known fact that the negro
has never been much interested in ms
state government. except I'm some ic"
instances where. as recently in North
Carolina, the negro party managed
TO get into power. doing out some
of the offices of State government to the
negroes. As a rule negroes do not care
whether they vote OF not in state cleo
tions. but whenever a national election
comes and o. President is to be chosen
the negro is always in evidence at the
polls. If he could have his way. he
would. 1T We may IuhhN 4'H H" i
acts. overthrow state government alto
gether. or at least make it subordinate
and subservient to a great centralized
government in Washington.
But the negro must learn that II he is
TO become "a part and parcel of the body
polite Of the United States. he must con-
form 90 the government as it exists. He
must stop this prattle Of demanding re-
cognition for himself because he is a ne
gro. He must become "a loyal supporter
of his local government, must manifest
a keen interest IN the best local govern
ment. must stop running to Washington
with his tales Of woe, and must go before
the people. when he makes his claims,
simply as a good. intelligent. law-ahid-
ing. constitution-loving American citizen
without reference to the color Of his skin
or his previous condition. The negro
must stop whining, he must stop forcing
his negroism to the front, he must be a
man and assert his manhood, if he would
obtain recognition.
