ANOTHER WONDER

IT is said that wonders never cease
We were deeply impressed with this
fact when we noted that the white Re
publicans of North Carolina, under the
leadership of United States Senator
JETER Q. FRIrCHARD organized the Re-
publican State Convention and barred
the colored men, regardless of the mer
its of their contests
1t is announced that vigorous con-
test will be made for supremacy and
that this movement has the endorsation
of such a high authority as that of
President THEODORE ROOSEVELT 1t is
''the play of HAMLET, with HAMLET left
out" So be it. We have two opinions
either one of which is tangible.
The white Republicans have alleged
that they could win without the incu-
bus of the Negro to hamper their efforts
and President ROOSEVELT shares in this
opinion.
Or, the white Republicans make this
allegation and that the President doesn't
share that opinion, but has determined
to give the plan trial, in order TO con-
vince himself and those who are SO vo-
ciferous in advocating the doctrine.
In either case, the colored brother can
look on with;equanimity not to say sat
isfaction. The divine injunction, BE
ware of false prophetsw will yet ring
in the ears Of the President, and he will
yet ask himself the question, "What
will it prophet a man TO divide the
South and lose the North? Or can
insult and throw away the Negro vote
of the South without insulting and
throwing away the Negro vote of the
North? Or what will it prophet man
to gain the whole South and lose his
own election?"
To be plain, it should be evident to
President ROOSEVELT that none OF
these expedients can last or be even
temporarily successful.
Any combination based upon the
shelving or ignoring of the intelligent
Negro vote of the Southland will bt
disastrous and the white Democrats
will laugh at the northern white mans
calamity,
When the Republican Party or it
leaders disregard great principles ant
pander 10 race preiudices, they torfei
their right to either the support OIL

THE sloop yacht Sibyl lay tugging
at her anchor rope in the middle
of the Fishkill channel, in Jamaica
Bay. June had lain her smiling bene-
diction over all the land and sea Gases
of grass in the black water waved in
the pulsing Of tho ebbing tide. A
strong breeze from the ocean had
kicked up fretfui sea. The wind was
warning with the tide. The wide wa
ter reaches were alive with white caps.
The Spume from the little waves swept
the deolS of the Sibyl. It was a hap
tism by sprinkHng. The sun was rest
ing his chin ON the edge of New Jer-
sey, throwing a fiery pathway up the
lifting tide, and painting me horizon
with reckless prodigality Of color.
The angler stood in the cockpit with
ten-ounce rod IN his hand. 1t was
fashioned with wood from the Jun
giles OF Calcutta. A master workman
had welded 100 pieces Of this resilient
wood together with glue such as Guam
arius used in his sobbAng violin. The
rod was further strengthened ct in
terTals with flbres OF crimson silk.
The guides were lined with smooth
glass and the tir with amber. When
at home the ROD reposed in q rosewood
box carpeted with blue velvet. No
woman can ever take the place in an
anglers heart occupied by his best
fishing rod. That rod had slittered

PRESIDENT RoosEvELT's narrow es-
cape from death at Pittsfield, Mass, on
the 3rd inst, should serve as a warning
to the distinguished New Yorker. The
action of the motorman in charge of
the electric car is inexplicable. The
public viii naturally want TO know why
he should have been running his car at
any speed which could not be checked
within the cars length when he knew
that the people were thronging the
streets and avenues intent upon getting
q glimpse of the Chief Magistrate. Sc
cret Service Agent WILLIAM CRAIG was
instantly killed and the President seem
ed to have escaped only by miracle.

on and on until $50 feet of water had
been covered.
Suddenly the line lifted over the In

| In the stiffening breeze. and little
beads OF water dropped from It into
1.-The bay. Cynoscion RECALLS had come.
The angler braced his feet, for the
Sibyl was "a uneasy as a yesrling colt.
Tho fish had struck the hook in the
white-plumed apex of wave, which
| the departing sun had dyed a vivid
crimson. In the red glare he shons
Ike refined gold. Urged by the resili-
ent rod and persuasive revolutions OF
the silver windlass, the FISH came near
er and nearer to the boat, in narrow
ing areas OF q circle, crossing and re-
! crossing the radiant waterway made
by the setting sun; the line cutting a
| little Jet OF spray before its tense
| fiber.
Only once did Cynoscion reveal his
| silvern symmetry as he darted through
one water furrow into another in the
effort TO rid himself of that inexorable
I line. Frightened at the sight of the
boat, the fish dove and tore Is feet of
line from the willing reel and the I'M
| willing angler. But the hook kept his
| mouth open, and he was slowly drown
ing. One despairing attempt he made
to rush under the boat, but the strong
wrist turned him, the landing net
| slipped jfnder him, and he was laid
tenderly upon the rounded. wave-
swept free-board Of the Sybil Run
ming the hook of pocket scales
| through the blight Of the smell, the
angler raised the fish.
Three pounds ten ounces" said
he, sand with belly rounded like q
fifteenth century prior's."
Then he lay Cynoscion RECALLS
back upon the deck, living Jewel
bathed IN brine. His sides were sill
very, with irregular dark, undulat-
| ing stripes. His eye looked like a
spot of jet In circle of amber. He
lay perfectly still except for faint
motion of his fanlilSe rudder. As
the light touched his armor the
| FURNISHED scales took on iridescent,
kaleidoscope hues.
''Do you think he Is dead?" asked
the angler.
NO, sir; he Is only wind-blown.-
: The angler leaned over the side
of the boat and placed the fish gem

/ side, supine, inert. But the waves
J handled him and the juvenescence of
old ocean trickled through his Grim
son gills. His body began TO tilt UNI

far horizon Cynoscion RECALLS was
alive again. Ono firt Of his mighty
tail one heave OF his virile, hexu-

his parting salute.
