also TO Booker r. Washington Ii has dealt blow to
President Roosevets influence both in the North and
in the South causing to say tho least serious dis
trust OF his discretion has done harm to Booker T.
Washington, who has to look TO the south for consid
cradle amount of the support necessary to his Tus
kegee institute. Some OF the Southern papers have
gone far TO say that President Roosevets action
is the of recent riots in the South I'm
doubtedy the tendency is in that direction
Whether President Roosevelt in this unfortunate
incident was actuated by sheer thonghtlessness,
coupled with the old abotionist negrophiism (Which
astonshngly manifested by Mr.. Justice Brewer at
the Yale celebration, when he referred to Booker r.
Washington as the peer of George washington) or
whether he has deliberate plan, which will breed
more trouble hereafter of making the negro the social
equal of the white and thus rivaing the fame of
Lincoln, who freed the blacks, the harm done is the
same
The opposition aroused IN the South shown by the
disapproyal in less strong terms Of the whole
Southern press, and by the governors of Southern
States placing themselves record in condemnation,
was the voice Of people The irrefragible founda.
ton of this opposition is the necessity to draw the
line of social equality sharply prevent miscegena-
ton. The Southern people naturally viewed with con.
sternaton and indignation attempt whiting or un-
whiting the part of the head of tho nation to break
down that line II is necessary for the preservation of
the white race. It will be sharply drawn when Theo-
dore Roosevelt is dead and forgotten While he lives
and occupies the presidential chair he can stir ND as
much little trouble he pleases by raising the
question of racial equality. If ne lets that question
alone there will be peace at the South If he insists
upon interference there will be trouble-how much
trouble there will he tell.
