Roosevelt On Success.

President Roosevelt has not been
counted among the great orators of
America, but the peroration of his
recent Detroit speech is one of the
finest oratorical utterances of recent
years. The President said:
p, "The world has never seen more
marvellous prosperity than that
which we now enjoy, and this pros
perity is not ephemeral. We shall
have our ups aud downs. The wave
at times will recede, but the tide
will go steadily higher. This coun-
try has never yet been called upon
to meet a crisis in war or a crisis in
peace to which it did not eventually
prove equal, and decade by decade
its power grows greater and the like
lihood of it's meeting successfully
any crisis becomes. even more as
sured.
We are optimists. We spurn the
teachings of despair and distrust.
We have an abiding faith in the
growing future of the mighty young
nation still in the flush of its youth
and yet already with the might of a
giant which stands on a continent
and grasps an ocean with either
hand.
Succeed? OF course we shall sue
coed. How can success fail to come
to a race of masterful energy and
resolute character, which has con-
tinent for the base of it's domain and
which feels within it's veins the
thrill that comes to generous souls
when their strength stirs in them
and they know that the future is
theirs.
No great destiny ever yet came to
a nation whose people were laggards
or faint-hearted. No great destiny
ever yet came to a people walking
with their eyes on the ground and
their faces shrouded in gloom. No
great destiny ever yet came to a
people who feared the future. who
feared failure more than they hoped
for success. With such as these we
have no part.
We know there are dangers ahead,
as we know there are evils to fight
and overcome, but we feel to the
full that pulse of the prosperity
which we enjoy. Stout of heart we
see across the dangers the great flu
ture that lies beyond, and we rejoice
as a giant refreshed, as strong
man girt for the race; and we go
down into the arena where the ma
tions strive for mastery, our hearts
lifted with the faith that to us and
to our children and our children's
children it shall be given to make
this republic the greatest of all the
peoples of mankind.

The removal by the President of
Julian H. Bingham from the office of
collector of internal revenue in Ala
bama, and the appointment of a
brother of Congressman Thompson
of that state to the position, is like
lY to prove an eyeopener to the re-
publican organization of that state.
Evidently the President has been
doing some quiet investigating i'll
that section, and has found that
Bingham was prominent in the
movement to exclude colored men
from taking part in their councils
even when fitted morally and intel
1ectua11y. The action of the Ala
bama republican may be regarded as
a browning act of injustice. Even
under the drastic terms of the state
constitution the negroes had some
few rights left ana the conditions of
the instrument were such that an
ever increasing number might enjoy
them but even these slight privi-
1eges were taken from them when
they were denied affiliation with
the party they have looked up to as
a friend and protector. A member
of the Cabinet explains the Presi-
dents action concisely in the follow
ing statement: ''Neither the Ad
ministration nor the Republican
party of the North will stand for the
exclusion of any section of our peo-
pie by reason of their race or color,
when, in other respects, such per-
sons have complied with the laws
and are eligible under the law to

cal action and are of a high stand
