parents to Rochester, New York,

the most important cities in the
United States. In 1882 she was
married to John Calvin Brainerd, in
Henrietta, a suburb of Rochester.
They moved to Wisconsin 48 years
ago, and resided in that State until

THE PRESIDENTS GUEST.

We devote a portioni of our editorial
space this week to an article from the
Des MONIES Leader concerning the atti-
tude'of the South anent the fact that
President Roosevelt saw fit to invite
Booker T. Washington to dine with
himsat the White House. We endorse
every word said by the Leader and we.
doubt if We should have used as temper
ate language had we written, at length
on'the subject. Mr.. Booker T. Washing
ton is a colored man, but he has shown
more strength of character. more brains
and ability and has attained a wider
and better reputation than any of the
men who are so free with their criti-
cisms concerning the Presidents in
vitation. The ingratitude of the South
is the more apparent because Mr.. Wash
iington visited the President on a
mission Of peace and friendliness tothe
southern people. The President wished
to confer with him concerning some
southern appointments and Mr.. Wash
ington gave advice which for magma
/ nimity is almost without example in
modern politics, he urged hat party
lines be not drawn in the south and
that the President recognize the good
and capable democrats of the South in
making Federal appointments. Mr..
Washington is rot a radical man. has
not urged negro Domination, he has
preached the doctrine of work, he has
tried to educate the negro to be self
supporting and manly. 1t is not the
lazy o~ver-aducated ''nigger" of whom
the south complains so bitterly, who
has graduated from Mr.. Washington's
institution. but rather the mechanic.
the farmer, the house wife, good and
industrious people who are willing
and able to do their share of the worlds
work. Not one of these southern
critics has ever done one half as much
for the advancement of humanity as
has Booker 7. Washington. In honor.
ing him President Roosevelt honored
the south and instead Of vain frothings
at the mouth these men should thank
the President for setting them an ex-
ample of honoring real worth whether
it is wrapped in a black skin or a white.

DEMOCRATS AND TRUSTS.

"There is nothing new under the

more we study political conditions the
more we are convinced of the truth Of
the saying. The republican party is
direct descendant of the old Federal
party which came into existence at the
beginning of the republic. For a while
it was the Wing party and latterly the
Free Soil or Republican party. Demo-
cracy is the direct descendant Of the
Anti-Federal party. The first great
dividing line was as to the nature of
the United States. Whether it was
but a ~confederacy of sovereign states
Or whether it vas a nation with states
as comparatively unimportant political
divisions for the better administration
of local government. The Federalist
stood for the latter proposition. Had
the question been definitely settled
then it would have been much better
for the republic but it has not been
settled even to this day although
Webster has Numbered his %eloquence

maintain both sides of the contention.
