THE GAYNOR-GREEN CASE
Motion TO Advance the Hearing in the
Federal Supreme Court

Washington. October PA brief was
filed in the supreme court today in the
so-called Gaynor case, upon the motion
made by Solicitor General Richards to
advance these cases. The plaintiffs in
error or appellants are Benjamin d.
Green. John F. Gaynor and Edward II.
Gaynor, the defendant named being
William Henkel, United States marshal
for the southern district of New York.
The plaintiffs are virtually in custody
of the marshal, though on bail pending
the proceedings in the supreme court.
The solicitor general in urging that the
case be advanced for hearing recited the
various steps taken to bring the case
TO trial.
In the brief filed by Abraham J.
Rose today it is denied that the de-
PENDANTS are seeking TO delay trial and
il is asserted hat the delay he been

two. He said:

it is simply the racial instinct Of self

who sins against it, according to the
view held by our people, n 1 believe

We'll, that sort Of thing will not be
pleasant reading to the class some OF

waiting in the south"
He thinks the negro question is far
from being settled. While there is an
educational qualification in some south
ern states. the whites are paying out
millions yearly to educate the negroes.
He argues therefore, and it may be
rightly, hat the negro is sure ito be a
factor in the future" He say they
will be sought when the whites divide.
In h IA event he holds, that if 1.-THE ne
groes should cease to be bound by a
sentimental attachment to any particu-
lar party, they will constitute a great
mass of corrupt voters, controlled By
the party with the largest campaign
fund. 1t is a mistake to suppose that
a little education will remove the OBJ
lection to the negro vote. A literary
education is a comparatively easy mat
ter. Character must be developed by a
slow process of evolution. 1t has taken
ages to make the A~nglo-Saxon what
he is"

that in five years Booker" has attended

has had the seat of honor. In the same

it beat Charlotte out of sight in that
particular. We believe that in about
three and ahalf years not far from one
hundred and fifty neat, comfortable
residences have been constructed. Then
painting and changing previously built
residences appear to be the thing. Now
in many parts of the town new resi-
dences are IN the way or have been
just finished. 1t may be added that
some of the unfinished jobs in street
repairing and improving. might be at

HOW 1T MAY AFFECT BOOKER.

Certainly the president has rights,
criticised for exercising them when he
Injuries no one else. No southern mar
will question Mr.. Roosevelt's rights and
privileges a. to associating with ne
groes, seeking their company and ex-
tending hospitality to them. But when
as president he seeks to give under in
fluence to the claims of negro leaders
by giving them backing, and thereby
greatly perplexes the negro problem in
the south and fans afresh the dying
embers of radical strife, he does wrong,
goes beyond the dignity and impor-
lance of his plan, and Injuries the ne
groes while greatly annoying and dis
gushing the whites. By his conduct he
inevitably stirs up strife, invites de-
termined censure and shows himself
to be without foresight or wisdom.
What he has lone will not in the least
degree permanently benefit Booker
Washington, although it may greatly
excite his self consequence, initiate
hugely his vanity and tickle him
mlSntlly IN the short ribs.
The Washington Post is edited by
northern men of talents, experience,
observation. How does it view Booker
in connection with gushing l%audation
and conspicuous entertainments? TN
like the fanatical asses who write for
so many of the big dailies in the north,
it sees clearly and not through "a glass
darkly." 1t says:
o what benefit to Booker Washing
ton and his work is this empty and ar
duous round of banquets and parIor
functions? Wherein does it profit him
or the cause he has al heart that he
figures in Hartford or Boston drawing
rooms, sits at luxurious tables-even
that of the president himself-and gives
his time to what we call society"
These people really see in him nothing
more than a caprice. He has become a
fashion, a fad, with men who have no
more comprehension of his real value
to he country than they have of the
political conditions in Saturn. They
are merely putting him on exhibition.
clarifying themselves by a patronage
OF n who is worth more to humanity
and civilization than any dozen of
them"
What effect all this will have upon
the usefulness of Washington in the
south will only be seen with the months
and years. He must be extremely cir
cumspect if he would not lose the best
feelings of the people of Alabama who
have been his steadfast friends in his
work to improve his race. The Post
sees loss to him, and says: He and
his race will be the victims of this
stupid and mischievous folly. He will
be shorn of his usefulness and inf1u-
ence. He will strut his little hour on
the tinsel stage and be cast away when
the idle fancy shall have run it's
course"
Washington is the wisest man of his
race. but not intellectually the most
purely gifted. He is judicious, sensi-
BILE, ordinarily prudent and great
ly magnifled in the praise and
present worship in the north. Fae
naticism never has and never will see
straight, and view men and questions
in the clear light of common sense,
truth and wisdom.
