EDITORIAL COMMENT

1t is impossible to believe that real
Southern sentiment is correctly dis
closed in the spluttering of the South
ern press over President RooseVelt's
conduct in having Booker 7. Washing
ton as his guest at dinner. He had him
at luncheon first, and no rumpus was
kicked up by these same Southern
high-steppers about that. There was
as much social recognition in the one
case as in the other. The President
has told all his Southern visitors, Dem
ocratic and Republican, that he intend
ed to treat the colored race on pre-
cisely the same terms that he treats
the white race, that is, of merit. All
the Southern Democrats hailed this an
nouncement with rapture. What was
he doing when he invited Mr.. Washing
ton to dinner but proceeding in accord
ance with this principle? Mr.. Wash
ington is entitled on his intellectual
merits and on the services he is per-
forming for the advancement of his
race to be a guest at the Presidents
table.-New York Commercial Adver-
tiser.
There is always a certain amount of
humiliation when another nation beats
US in any line. AS, for instance, Rus
sia's acquisition of a battleship with
the best record of speed for the entire
class of such ships the world over. But
in this case the United States has a
unique reason for reinsurance. The
ship was built in an American yard by
American workingmen, and if they
can do so we'll for Russia there is no
reason to believe that they cannot do
as well, or better, for US whenever oc-
casion arises Indeed, the Retvizan
may be regarded as an experimental
construction for our future benefit. The
victory belongs not so much to Rus
STA as to American workmanship

Two women sat beside me in the car
yesterday and discussed family mat
tiers, from the illness of "a mother-in-
law to the latest thing in the ward
robe of an older sister. Beside one of
the women sat a boy, just in long
pants, and showing many signs of
pride in approaching manhood. How
is little Chester asked one of the wom-
en-, and the big boy blushed. ooh, he's
fine. said the other woman. He looks
different without his curls," said the
first woman, presently. "Oh, it's years
since Chester wore curls" said the
other. Yes" replied her companion
but I can never forget how we'll they
became him. He is getting to be a big
boy now," she went on, then launched
off into "reminiscences of Chester's
Childhood, till the poor youth around
whom the conversation was winding
its embarrassing details grew redder
and redder and squirmed uneasily in
his seat. I pitied him, for his youthful
dignity was made so ridiculous by the
continual references to his baby days
and l turned away my head to keep
from adding to his troubles by letting
him see the smile I could not repress.

The Congressman who is represent
ing the third district. temporarily, at
the national capital caused a number
of friends of Representative Peter F.
Sullivan, to wonder what he meant
during his course of remarks at the
Ward Three Democratic rally a few
nights ago. "Mr. Thayer told the
audience how pleased he was to be in
the house of his friends and how ju-
bilant he was over the fact that Wor-
cester is fast becoming a Democrat
ic city. Continuing on the steadfast-
ness of Ward Three Democrats Mr..
Thayer remarked that they had a rep
resentative, such as he was, and a
Democratic mayor. 1t was up to the
voters of Ward three to help in Sc
curing the election of a Democratic
senator. There is, of course, some dis
tinction between a national and state
representative, but the Sullivan men
would have been better pleased if
the congressman had been more ex-
plicit.
