officer. But it may not be out of place
to suggest that for more than year
Mr.. Roosevelt has been in position
to show his friendship for the negro
and his devotion to the idea that no
person because of race or color should
be excluded from free participation In
political action; and yet Mr. Roosevelt
has not taken advantage OF his op-
portunity.
Many negroes have been appointed
by Republican administrations to Office
In the south; but no important office
in the north has been bestowed upon
the black man.
MIR. Roosevelt might display bit Of
genuine courage and appoint some
reputable negro to a postoffice in some
Republican city Of the north.
Undoubtedly there are many reput-
able negroes whose services to the Re-
publican party entitle them to such an
honor, and doubtless few of these
could be persuaded to reject such an
offer.
1t is hardly probable that Mr.. Roose.
velt would dare to appoint negro to
a postoffice in any Republican CON-
munity in northern State; and yet
why should he hesitate to do 80?
Why should he not display genuine
courage?
Many negroes have been good
enough to be appointed to postoffices
in the south. Is it possible that Mr..
Roosevelt cannot find at least one
negro worthy of being chosen as post
master in Republican town in a
northern StateP-The Comn1oBer.

Why Not North?

The Collector of Internal Revenue
In Alabama played conspicuous part
in the exclusion of negro delegates
from the Republican convention of
that State. Mr.. Roosevelt removed
the collector from office and caused to
be made public this statement:
Neither the administration nor the
Republican party of the north will
stand for the exclusion OF any section
of our people by reason OF their race
or color, when in other respects such
persons have complied with the laws
and are eligible under the law to full
and free participation in political
action and are Of high standard Of
personal character.
Many Republican papers commend
the President for the "bravery" he
displayed In removing this federal

A Shirtmaker and a Moral.

When you get discouraged because
of the apparent ease with which wrong
triumphs and right is trampled under
foot, think OF man in a convict suit
making shirts in the penitentiary at
jackson, Mich.
He ia No. 7743. If you consult the
prison records you will find his height,
weight, physical blemishes, age, color
of eyes and hair and other facts all set
down with the name of Frank G. An
drews, once millionaire banker and
promoter.
That man was Wrong and Right got
on his trail. For months Right fol-
lowed and never lost the scent. 1t
found him in his palace home. 1t
found him with power and millions OF
money at his command. 1t found him
holding high positions, honored and
looked up to- 1t found him thief,
and because of the need OF society and
for the protection of honest men, it
disgraced him, degraded him, de-
nounced him, dragged him from his
high estate, took from him honor and
respectability and set him to making
shirts in penal institution.
1t is useless to say that influence
does not play part in the findings OF
courts. Judges are human and juries
are as strong and as weak as the
average of men. Men are swayed be-
cause they are human.
So much the greater the victory
when right does triumph.
The fight that Frank Andrews made
to keep out of the peuitentiary was
dramatic and forceful. You could
almost admire this thief because of the
courage he displayed and the skill he
used in his efforts to save himself.
Cornered, he fought. He used all
the infuerce he possessed He did
not lack money, and he used that.
Friends tried to help him.
But he was wrong. He deserved to
be punished, and in the hands OF
honest men he stood as little chance as
does the petty thief who snatches a
purse in plain sight of the police.
The lesson OF the affair is Rugged
Honesty.
We may have systems that are
weak, laws that are far from perfect.
Some scoundrels may escape and seem
to prosper in sin, but the Andrews
case and thousand more like 1t prove
that Right triumphs in most cases and
that all the Powers OF Evil are weaker
than law and public sentiment.
The sense of Right was never SO
keen as in this golden age, and the
public may find courage and hope in
the picture Of a man making shirts in
the prison at jackson, Mich. st.

Uncle Johns Cabin.

BY wayside in village,
Stands cabin all alone;
Surrounded by grapevine and shrubbery,
'Tis but deserted home.
Its chimney once smoking lies scattered,
Its swayed roof shows decay;
While its owner, known to many,
Has lately passed away.
The fence that surrounds the cabin
Lies tumbled and scattered around;
The fruit trees that stood beside it,
Have all been cut to the ground.
The gate that once closed the entrance,
In swinging, seems to moan,
While the bench meath the spreading
catalpa,
Stands broken, forsaken and lone.
Twas there, when the gentle spring
breezes,
While brightly shone the sun,
There sat an aged darkey,
When his morning chores were done.
But now the place looks lonely
Since the poor old darky's gone;
And the people say while passing,
Here once lived Uncle John.

There are two ways, and, broadly
speaking, only two, whereby man en-
slaves his fellow man. He may do so
by acquiring "vested rights" in Labor,
which enable him to compel working
men to work for him. This is called
chattel slavery. Or he may do so by
acquiring "vested rights in Land,
which enable him to deny life to work.
ingmen unless they work for him.
This is called land monopoly. In the
one case the slavery is active; in the
other it is passive. In either there
may be great varities of form. Owner
ship of Labor does not consist alone in
title deeds to slaves. Any taxing
power for private profit is of the same
nature. 1t compels men to give up
part OF their earnings for nothing.
Neither does ownership of Land con-
sist alone In the title deeds to particu-
lar parcels of earth laid off by metes
and bounds. All franchises, as q
street car privilege, a railroad right
of way, dock privileges, or the like,
are In their nature the same. The
essence of slavery, active or passive,
is in every one of them. "Slayery,"
some one has said, sis the sum of all
SIM" He only put into other phrase
the sentiment of ST. Paul: "The love
of money is the root OF all evil" To
love money and not the earning of it,
is to love slavery. And that is the
sum and substance of all economic
problems and of all civic morality.

In his speech at Memphis last week
President Roosevelt referred to the
Filipinos, saying that they were
wholly unfit to govern themselves. "
That is what the British said of the
Americans 1875 years ago. Its falsity
was demonstrated in both cases. In
that of the Fillpinos the records at
Washington prove that they had been
peacefully and successfully governing
themselves for months before the late
President Mckinley, without warrant
or excuse, declared war against them
and turned their peaceable country
into a veritable hell on earth. Again,
in the same Memphis speech, President
Roosevelt said that ''if we had left the
Philippines there would have been a
brief period of bloody chaos" All the
established facts indicate that this is a
false inference. But even If not, pray
how could the chaos have been bloodier
than that long continued chaos and
slaughter which President Mckinley
precipltated when he demanded that
the Filipinos abandon their peaceable
government and submit to American
subjugationP Mr.. Roosevelts per-
sistent assertions, so transparantly
false-as false as his assertion in Gin
cinnati that the Standard Oil trust and
the anthracite trust have no tariff pro-
tection--make it progressively harder
to ignore the fact that his looseness OF
statement is becoming as notable as
the strenuousness of his life or the
elasticity of his political principles

Football Fatalities.

On Saturdays sporting page of the
Post Dispatch special article by ]. E..
Wray gave the record of football acci-
dents and fatalities. This record
shows IS dead and 7S severely injured
this year, as compared with 8 dead
and rs injured last year.
Considering the shortness of the
season, the record for 1902, embrac-
ing only the period between Sept. 25th
and Nov. 28th as the time in which
the deaths and injuries took place, this
record may well give pause to lovers
of the game. 1t is alarming enough
to justify the proposal to modify the
game 80 as to eliminate its most
dangerous features.
Football is great sport, but, as
played at present it is also great
barbarism. In no other sport is it's
record OF fatalities and injuries ap-
preached. The question presents
itself, could not interest be preserved
in the game, If the method of playing
were so changed as to make it safer
for the playerP 1t is time for football
experts and defenders to answer this
question in practical way.
The change that naturally suggests
itself is in the line OF making football
depend more on skill and less on brute
strength. Might not notifications in
this direction add to the interest in
the gameP-Post- Dispatch.
