Memphis, Nov. 91.-Tho Nows rays
There Is no doubt that President
Roosevelt has changedd his mind to q
argc, if not o radical extent, upon the
question Of tho political and social
outlook for tho negro.
Mono of those who sront tho week
with the president In the wilds about
Smedes would talk directly upon th
question, but several of them gave
out strong limitations to the effect
that the exrcr; enco Of tho president
among the negroes as they actually
exist had enabled him to learn far
moro about the question which is the
II question IN the South than he
could have learned from reading q
whole library and talking for years
with persons who knew the real oond-
itions. AS it was, the president was
In the camp with q few gentlemen.
and there woro around them not only
tho negroes employed in tho camp
work, and in caring for the dogs and
horses, but also from time to time
MANY other roGroes from the neigh
boring plantations. OF course tho
president had been south before, but
it was always upon q hurried tour,
whore he was in charge of local com
mittees all the time. lie had seen
the car porter+ and a few other ne
groes out of the class of the great
a of the African race, but this
was his first opportunity to mingle
with and see the negro us the south
ern people know him.
"That the president has changed
his views completely upon the negro
question:" said one of tho hunting
party to q friend hcre last night, ''is
known to oil Of us who were there
with him but, of course, it would
not be proper for anyone of us to come
out IN a public statement to that
effect until he shall choose to make IL
public himself. Ho now recognizes
the fact thai the negro is in no sonse
of tho word tho equal of the white
mar, either politically or socially,
and | am sure his future conduot in
the presidential chair will be affected
by what he learned upon tho trip"
