ROOSEVELT AND The B0ERS.

The newspaper defenders Of the
policies Of the Republican party and
tho Roosevelt administration are
strangely silent regarding the treat
ncnt of the Boer delegates by the
President and the Secretary of
state They dare not commend the
action of these officials because the
people know it is Infamous, and they
dare not dcnounce it lest their friends
and supporters should fall under the
ban of the administration displea-
sure. Even Republican newspapers
are not disposed to defend barbarism.
They are not disposed 10 recommend
the denial Of food to starving women
and children. Ii is difficult for them
TO excuse the depriying of falling
mothers of medicine.
The position taken by our national
administration in refusing to procure
passports for the Rev. DR.. Thomas
and his wife to convey the contribu-
tions of the charitable TO the South
African concentration camps, is so
horrible that it ought not To have a
word OF defense from any American.
If political ties are such as to pre-
vent its denunciation an attitude of
shame and silence should be main
tainea. Generous Americans have
raised money and collected medicine
and clothing to help these unfor-
tunate victims OF British greed. They
have appointed their agents to carry
agents cannot reach the concentration
camps under the Britis4. rules with
out British passports. Those pass
ports cannot be obtained unless our
government asks for them. Secretary
Hay refuses to ask for them because
President Roosevelt would object
That is the simple story. In South
Africa human beings are sickening
and dying from want In this country
their wants and willing hearts and
hands would nasten to their relief
But the fawning servitors of King Ed
ward who disgrace our government,
block the way. Thank Heaven even
Republican staIwartism balks at the
defense of it and takes refuge in
silence or mendacity. 1t shows that
the spirit of humanity is not wholly
dead, even in the most callous Re
publican organ.
