Roosevelt Smiles at southern Critics

President Roosevelt can well afford to
smile, as he is reported to have done, ut
the tempest in a teapot raised by various
Sout hern papers because he has cXtendt u
the inequalities of the White House to a
distinguished American citizen. Mr.. Book
e" r. Washington. Those same journals
had just sounded the praises of the Presi-
dent because he had shown his superiority
to partisan considerations by appointing
ex-Gov. Jones of Alabama to the federal
bench, in spite of the fact that the APP
pointee was a democrat but they now cou-
denim him for showing the same superior
ity in another direction, simply because
the guest of the White House mentioned
happened to not have "A white skin. The
Southern critics of Mr. Roosevelt show
that they are willing to praise indepold-
ence only when it leans in their direction
and that they are ever ready to make an
the slightest pretcXt.
There is every reason tn suppose that
tbs rampant Southern newspapers whose
sensibilitios have been so rudcly shocked
by the cntert ainment of Mr. Washington
as well as other citizens at the home Of
the President, had some Interior purpose
in view in starting a wave Of race hostil-
ity against him. else they would not haS e
ignored the fact that he established no
White House precedent in this instance.
They overlook the fact that Senator Bruce
and other colored representatives. of both
branches of Congress were entertained b.
President Grant and his SUCCESSORS They
are particularly careful to conceal the TACT
that President Cleveland, a democratic
executive, was broad enough and indie
pendent enough to meet Frederick Doug
lass and the ministers to Hayti and Lii
IBERIA on terms which embodied no hint Of
their color. TO so still nearer home, they
conceal the fact that Booker r. Wash
ington himself has sat on the same plat
form as Southern governors and mayors,
who have Introduced him to audiences
made up very largely of white people,
These ultra-democratic organs of the
South seem to have scented danger in
President Roosevelt's appointment of a
leading democrat to the bench and to have
the disntegration of their party and their
own political reinforcement would be to
appeal to race prejudice on the first ops
portunity. The color line is the only stock
in trade Of some of the Southern puliti-
clans Through its use they obtain Office
ana control their party. If that line is
efaced, they lose their places at the feed
Ing trough as well as the means of Sc
curing reinstate ment. The race issue has
come to be their only hope of political pre-.
ferment.
In view of what the public already
knows about the backbone of President
Roosevelt, it seems safe to say that these
southern disturbers of the political peace
will find they are simply wasting then
/ breath. The President has adopted a pol
Icy with reference to the sectional issue
! that has commended itself to the people
ds whole without reference to poit.
