THAT SOUTHERN STORM.

The storm raised in the South by the
action of President Roosevelt in
inviting Booker T. Washington to
dinner at the White House, cannot be
accounted for without taking into con-
sideration the inveterate prejudice that
refuses almost TO recognize in a col
ored man. human being. The cutlery
could not have been louder, had the
President OF the United states been
found fraternlzing with dogs or hogs,
instead Of with man IN many respects
the peer OF the Southern critics To an
unprejudlced mind there IL something
irrational, something insane in such
fury.
A Memphis paper characterizes that
courtesy Of the President as the most
damnable outrage which has ever been
perpetyated by any citizen Of the
United States Another says: "Presi-
dent Roosevelt has committed a blum
der that is worse than crime. and no
atonement or future act Of his can
remove the salf-imprlnled stigma" The
ex-governor Of Georgia Is quoted to the
effect that. mo self-respectlng Southern
man can ally himself with the President

sign the position OF federal Judge be-

The race problem In this country is a
