colored men accorded that honor. But
the latter are citizens of the United
States and when one distinguishes him
self in the field Of literature and learn
ing or in any calling, and is cleanly
and gentlemanly and companionable,
surely he should not be ostracised be-
cause his skin is dark.
1t is noticeable that nearly all OF the
criticism of the presidents action
comes from the south. The leading pa
pers OF the north as well as the fore
most educators approve what the presi-
dent did. The Springfield Republican
in its comments says: The president
OF the United States is not monarch
who like King Edward, stands official
ly and constitutionally at the apex OF a
social system founded on caste. The
president of the United States cannot
make or unmake any American citizen
in a social sense. Society, N plain
English, is none of his business. He is
bound in all conscience not to discrim-
| mate between races or citizens in his
White House hospitality, The only So
cial test he can prescribe is that of per-
sonal worth, and any American, black
or white, who meets Thomas Jefferson's
three qualifications for holding public
office is tit TO break bread with the
president OF the United States"
Professor Charles Eliot Norton, Of
Yale, says: 1.-The president cannot
look at citizens in regard TO their color.
No distinction can be drawn between
white and black. black man of high
attainnents is worthy of recognition.
Those who deny this are blind to merit,
II merit is commendable only because
of its possessor's color it is not valued
for its intrinsic worth. 1t pleases me
that the president has given this recog-
nition to a deserving man. When
Booker T. Washington was here last
winter | entertained him at my table
and should he be here again this win.
ter shall again hope for the honor.
President Eliot. Of Harvard also spoke
of Mr.. Washington in similar cordial
manner showing appreciation OF him
and his noble work for his race.
No doubt President Roosevelt knew
what was coming from certain quarters,
but he will have no apologies to offer.
lie is going to do what he thinks is
right regardless of consequences. II
there be those who imagine he was
actuated only from political considera'
tions in his recent appointments in the
south they will be as greatly non
plussed by his doing something that
seems to have turned his cake into
dough. As long as President Roosevelt
aims to please the great majority OF
the people he can afford to endure the
censure of the insanely prejudiced.

Union League Club of baltimore
Takes Vigorous Action.

AT an open meeting of the board of gov
ernors of the Union League Club of Balti-
more last night, the name of George L.
Wellington, senior United States senator
from the state OF Maryland, was stricken
from the roster of the club and he was ex-
PEELED from membership Following are
the resolutions adopted to meet the case:
Whereas, the civilized world has been
shocked by the murderous attack upon the
life of President Mckinley; and
Whereas the feelings of a common hui
manity have evoked a worldwide sympa thy
for the suffering man and husband and his
afflicted wife; and
Whereas all lovers Of liberty have fe.t
In this cruel attack upon the life of the
President a blow at government by the
people: and
Whereas the people of Maryland. in
common with their fellow countrymen,
have been overwhelmed with grief and sor-
row at this most dastardly crime; and
Whereas the people Of Maryland have
learned with shame and loathing that
George l.. Wellington. a representative of
this state in the Senate of the United
States, has countenanced the act of this
traitor to his country and enemy of man
kind by repeated and public expressions Of
Indifference to the act or its results; and
Whereas the said George l.. Wellington
Is member of this organization; now
therefore be 1t
the Union League Of Maryland, That we
consider that the conduct Of George L.
Wellington demonstrates his unfitness to
associate with loyal citizens or right-heart-
ed men,
Resolved, That George L. Wellington
be, and he is hereby, expelled from MEM
bership in the Union League of Maryland
and that his name be stricken from its os-
ter"

Gus thing. but a thing perfectly dignif1ed,
perfectly religious, without a suspicion OF

withdrawal, for the simple reason that they
are needed at home to look after the younger
ores while the mothers shop, market, sew
or do household work. This nursery would

1t is proposed to limit the use of the play

Limitation of use, says Mr.. Rfordan,
in conclusion, through parents meetings
at the schools, through the pulpit, the
playground and the extent of its purposes
could be made known. All wishing to take
advantage of the privileges offered would
need to register at the office in the grounds,
being then issued a button containing a
number; wearing this button would be nec-
essary for entrance to the grounds. Trans
ferraI of button would be valueless, as
there would be but one number entered
after each name, that name to be of the
responsible party.
"Tardiness, Incidence, misbehavior at
school would be quicker broken up by ex-
Guiding the offender a limited period from
the playground than by any other means.
There could be no truantS, none out of
school who should be in school. for these
would not be permitted to come in the
grounds.
'None would be allowed to loaf in the
yard. We expect to have sufficient knowl-
edge of what that female or male can do
at home to help out to prevent their stay
ing at the grounds when the wood has yet
to be chopped, or the dishes to be washed.
when men are out of job we hope to
employ them-without salary-around the
grounds until work is secured. rather than
let them drift to their general lounging
places and forget they are hunting work.
All this, of course, must be done through
no al i1fi in
