The Memphis Scrimeter concludes
that President Roosevelt has been
guilty of a "Lamnable crime" in in
viting Booker T. Washington to lunch.
From the S;rimeter's standpoint this
may be true. But the Scrimeter's
standpoint is provincial and not cos
mopolitan. 1t may be q crime in
Memphis, Tenn, a social crime, to in
vite colored man to dine with white
man. But it is no crime up north.
And yet Theodore Roosevelt is south.
erner in one sense. His mother was
southern woman and duling bis early
life was accustomed to the presence of
colored persons as servitors in the
HOUSEHOLD. But Roosevelt is not pro-
viucial. He is not a sectionalist. He
is an independent. And he has taken
an opportunity to teach the south how
it ought to treat the colored race
when it deserves courte GUS treatment.
Whether the incident will make any
lasting impression remains to be seen.
1t has served, however, to bring out
the fact that the old me prejudie cs
are running at full tide against the
negro. And the revelation Of this
fact is distinct disappointment to
the North which had begun to hope for
better things. Such EXPIRE ssions as
these, however, will simply drive the
negro vote solidly to the republican
party. 1t may be said that the Pres.
ident did not have this latter contin-
gency in mind when he Invited Wash.
ington to dine with him. He recog.
nized the worth of the man who has
done SO much for bis race and treated
him as he would treat any other dis.
tinguished guest. Roosevelt is big
ger man than the country has given
him credit for The President has
done something which has been wait.
ing for the proper man and the right
moment for years.

BLOOD

We live by our blood, and
On It. We thrive or starve, as
our blood is rich or poor.
There is nothing else to live
on or by.
When strength is full and
spirits high, we are being re-
freshed, bone muscle and brain,
in body and mind, with con.
tinual flow of rich blood.
This is health.
When weak, in low spirits,
no cheer, no spring, when rest
is not rest and sleep is not
sleep, we are starved; our blood
is poor; there is little nutri-
ment in it.
Back of the blood, is food,
to keep the blood rich. When
it fails, take SCOTS emulsion
of cod-liver oil. 1t sets the
whole body going again-man
woman and child.
Well send you little to try Il you lie.

REV. DR.. AMENT0N CHINA
Speaks Before the American
Board Of Foreign Missions.
SAYS THE BOXERS ARE SETTLED.

The People Of China, He Declares,
Were Sorry when the Soldiers
Were Withdrawn-Puts Looting on
the Basis of Payment of Honest
Debts.
Rev. DR.. William s. Ament Of Picking,
against whom the charge Of looting
during the siege of that city has been
made delivered an address at the meet
ing Of the American board Of commits
sioners for foreign missions ut Hart
ford, Conn, the other day. With re.
gard to the Boxer uprising and the sub.
seuuent looting and conduct of the SOL
diers and missionaries DR.. Ament said:
"Thousands Of Chinese today are
growing rich because Of their foreign
occupation. Nearly as many are profit
ing by this as were injured by the Box
err uprising. The Chinese will entertain
no idea of another Boxer outbreak, the
stupidity and self destructiveness OF
which are apparent to the dullest.
"There is no proof that the Boxer
movement was antifOreign or anti"Chris-
tan In it's origin. The momentum came
from the imperial support, and only one
is the great criminal. Yet to follow her
and demand punishment In person
would lead to q disturbance In China
such as the world never saw. II would
touch every Celestial in vital spot, as
he would see in 1t menace to the very
principles to which he owed his posi-
ton in the home and in the community
"Dazed and stunned as they seem.
the Chinese people will need time to
recover from the Jars and strain OF
their bad work Of 1900 Many believe
today that the power of the idols is
broken. Soldiers of nine nationalities
came, as many supposed, to avenge
murdered friends and fellow citizens,
yet after temporary ebullitlons OF
wrath, which are not unusual with sol
diers in foreign land, within brief
time they settled down to peac aful and
kindly residence. so that when they
came to depart the populace cly out in
grief. Not only was this true of Amer
lean soldiers. but even the French at
Paotingfu. the last to leave the in
terror. were begged to remain having
proved themselves defenders of the
people and better friends than they had
ever seen IN uniform before.
missionaries have assisted In the
collection of indemnities for the people
who look to them rs leaders and de-
tenders. Why not? Christianity recog-
nizes the right Of the individual. Chris
tianity teaches the supremacy of law
and the privileges Of treaties. While
the Christian may take with Joy the
spelling of goods. he will not fail to re-
joice when those goods are restored to
him. Being missionary or convert
from heathenism in north China by NO
/ means makes an outlaw Of a person,
nor. indeed, should 1t be so. Why
should not those who unjustly deprived
our people Of their homes and property
restore that which they had stolen
This is the payment Of an honest debt,
not retaliation"
