plauding sentiments that bespoke close
and friendly relations among all sec
lions of the United States, GER
tain Southern editors were do
ing their best to stir animosi-
ity by making violent attacks up
on President Roosevelt because he had
entertained at dinner Booker T. Wash
ington, whose intelligence, and unset
fish and untiring work on behalf of
his race have won for him place
among the distinguished men of the ma
ton.
In what contrast to the narrow
minded and harmful views displayed
by a few thoughtless southerners is
the attitude of these veterans who SUI
fered so much in southern prisons and
yet have no thought but the elimina-
ton of whatever traces Of factional
feeling may still EXIST
A reunion of the survivors of south
ern prisons has joy and pathos most
strangely blended. The meeting of
Friday. when twenty-five veterans rep
resenting Maine, New Hampshire, Con-
necticut and New York regiments were
present, was no exception to the rule.
Why the bright and the sombre so
swiftly follow one another at such
times was we'll illustrated by Charles
NJ. Smith Of Worcester, who had been
reelected president of the organization
when he said, in opening his address:
"Once more we meet in one of our
pleasant annual reunions. The tie
which binds us, and especially draws
us together on these occasions, is
stronger than bands Of steel. 1t had
its origin in pain and suffering. In
dark days of physical agony and nights
of mental anguish, which for sea-
son were our common lot, this tie was
cemented. 1t is indissoluble, and will
endure in the hearts of all surviving
comrades until the end of life"
If the remembrance of the tragic
events witnessed by these men brings
its pain, there remains yet the friend
ship born of sufferings shared. Sew
enty thousand men, at least, said Pres
ident Smith, died in southern prisons,
more than were killed in all the bat
ties of the war.
1t would be impossible to conceive
of pictures darker than the survivors
Of the southern war prisons can call
to mind, yet they cheered Justify when
Col H. A. Johnson of Worcester and
H. H. Bush of New Braintree said
that the time had passed for cherishing
feelings other than those of kindness
toward the South
That is the proper feeling for the
North and the South, and it is, for
tunately, the feeling that is entertained
by broad-minded men of each section.
How petty then it is for anyone to
find in the visit of Booker T. Wash
ington to the White House a pretext
for awakening bitter thoughts! Surely
anyone who knows what Booker T.
Washington has done, and what he is,
understands perfectly well how flimsy
the pretext is.

MONDAY. OCTOBER al, 1901
roo oo,IENT ADVERTISING

L.
Charleston, S. c., comes to the front
with a bargain-day story of unusual
character. The inducements to pur-
chase offered by store of that city
proved so attractive that hundreds Of
women assembled in the street in the
morning before the doors Of the store
were opened. So numerous were they,
and so massed together, that the street
cars were blockaded. When the doors
were unlocked there was a tremendous
rush. Several women tainted and
were trampled upon by others. A col
ored woman was seriously injured.
Barricades intended to direct the
movements Of the crowd were broken
down, and the situation became so Sc
rious that a riot call was sent to po-
lice headquarters. a squad Of police
men responded, drove back the bargain
hunters, and closed the store. The es-
Establishment was permitted to open
again later in the day when the eX-
citement had subsidized.
What the particular attraction of
this remarkable sale was is not men
toned in the reports sent north. The
manager of the store certainly must
have understood well what appealed
most strongly to the women of
Charleston. The trouble was, perhaps,
that he did not properly estimate the
powers of his own eloquence, or that
he did not stop to think how surely
and quickly anything published in the
advertising columns of the leading
newspapers reaches those who have
money to spend.

ARouNn LIE JOINER ArLAsr

NJ. Santos-Dumont, after having met
with several failures. succeeded for the
second time IN rounding the Eiffel
Tower in his dirigible balloon Satur-
day. He made the journey from St.
Cloud to the tower and back in TWEEN
ty-nine and a half minutes AS the
guide rope was not seized promptly
nearly forty-one seconds were con-
sumed in getting the balloon to the
ground. The prize of $4,000 offered by
NJ. Henri Deutsch was for any aero
naut who succeeded in making the trip
in thirty minutes. The committee thai
has charge, of awarding the prize was
therefore, in doubt as to whether M.
Santos-Dumont was entitled to it. The
crowd was angry because the COM
mittee wavered and did not hesitate to
show it's disapproval. NJ. Deutsch,
himself, it is said, considered that the
prize had been fairly won. The COM
mittee, however, finally informed the
aeronaut that he had failed. At that
NJ. Santos-Dumont was for setting out
again Immediately but the crowd OBJ
jected. When he descended from the
balloon the spectators cheered and
pelted him with flowers.

results of every game have shown
brilliant individual play but little team
work. the opposite of the case last
year, when poor material worked to-
gether to a man. Unless the individ-
ual brilliancy can be used in the right
place the coaches realize that the sea-
son will not be successful. But they
see before them championship mate
rial. and will spare no effort to weld
1t into shape in time for the Cornell
game.
Princeton has in five games summed
up the huge total of 146 points against
her opponents, but this hardly repre-
sents Princeton's strength, for the con-
tests have all been with weak elevens,
against which individual work proved
more effective than it could when OBJ
posed to the team work of such elev-
ems as Cornell or Yale. A great deal
OF anxiety is felt as the time for the
cornell game approaches Princeton
has twice been defeated by the Ithi-
cans, and the desire to retrieve these
DEFEATS is almost as strong as the de-
termination to turn the tables on Yale.
For three weeks preceding the OPEN
ing OF the last week, the situation upon
the gridiron remained practically I'M
changed, and 1t was deemed that the
coaches had decided upon the men for
each position and would spend the re-
manning time in perfecting their work
tnere. Last year changes late in the
season proved disastrous
But the coaches saw that some rad
lcaI departure must take place. Centre
was weak, Butkiewicz too light. The
pest ground gamer and punter was not
back, but Dewitt, who filed tackle
in the line. The backs were slow at
responding to signals, while repeated
fumbling at critical moments indicated
that the candidates for various posi-
tions were not in the places hest
adapted to them.
When the week opened the Princeton
Undergraduate body was astonished to
md almost a new varsity on the field.
Line men were moved to backs. and
the line itself changed indiscriminate-
ly. As yet the utility of these changes
cannot be fully judged. The team

ness OF the men to their new positions.
has been more ragged than before. In
the game against Dickinson, on We'd
nesday, the Tigers scored only one
touchdown in the first half, and it was
only in the second, with new eleven
in the field, that they were able to
raise the score to %. In the first half.
fumbling accompanied every - gain,
Since then, as the men have become
used to their new positions, team work
has improved.

The New York Sun in an article re-
ferring to the Incorporate criticism Of
the President, because he entertained
Booker T. Washington at dinner cites
Mr.. Washington's account in his auto
biography, up From Slavery" of his
visit to Europe with his wife in the
spring of 1899. He was the guest of the
University Club in Paris and was en-
tertained at banquet which was pre-
sided over by United States Ambassa-
dor Porter, and which was attended,
among others, by Benjamin Harrison,
and Archbishop Ireland.
Distinguished members Of English
society entertained Mr.. and Mrs.
Washington. He says:

erdeen my wife and were enabled to

Women, then in session in London, to

Comment Of one sort and another
continues in the south. Governor Nc
Sweeney of South Carolina is repre-
scented as saying that he was aston
ished that President Roosevelt had
made such blunder. The governor
was quite sure that the President
had hurt the negro in the South.
DR.. Richard Mcrwaine, president of
Hampden-sidney College, and mem
Der of the Virginia Constitutional Con-
vention. is quoted as saying;
IF Roosevelt or any other kind Of

can't help it. If he is built that way
he can't help it. But he's got no busi-
ness. as President, to be guilty of any
such criminal folly. It's an outrage on
official decency. It's contemplate. If
he prefers niggers, nothing 1 could say
would help him, I'm a white man, you
know"
Another Vlrginian, ex-Attorney-
General Rufus A. Ayers, also mem
Der of the Constitutional Convention,
spoke with more moderation. Accord
ing to the report printed in the Sun
he says:
president Roosevelt as the chief
magistrate of the nation entertained at
dinner a man who is conceded to be
tte foremost representative of his race,
constituting many millions OF the cit
izens of the country. 1 see no reason
for all the excitement the affair has
stirred up. The white people of the
South thoroughly respect and admire
Booker T. Washington, and are lavish
in their commentator of his work
This being true why should they be SO
stirred up at the action of the Presi-
dent in an official way, entertaining
Washington? He is compelled to re
ceive and entertain the representatives
of Hayti, Liberia and other black peo-
pie. not as deserving as Washington
In my opinion the criticism is I'M
rnerited and unjust and can in no way
be attributed to a desire on the Presi-
dents part to promote social equality
with the negro"
One cannot but believe that Mr..
Ayers opinion is that of a great many
Southerners. The incident should never
have caused the slightest controversy.
