NECESSITY. NOT VIRTUE.

The secretary of the navy assures the
country, in his address delivered at
Madison, Wis, that the existing duty of
81 cents a ton on anthracite coal was
smuggled into the Dingley law tfn a
sneadng and cowardly manner" He
follows up the assertion by declaring
that when the mine operators appeal to
congress not to take off this duty, their
appeals will be rejected
Coming from a member of the cabi-
net, neither the sentiment nor the man,
ner of expression in this case can be
said to be worthy of the high office
which the author of the statement rep
resents. Whatever Interior purpose
Secretary Moody may have had in
making the statement, he cannot over
come the fact that the duty in question
was established by Republican votes in
congress and ratified by Republican
executive sanction. There is, too, the
probable truth that the mine operators
were no more sneaking or cowardly in
their methods than was any other pro-
the shoulders of the taxpayers of the
country.
1t is doubtful at best whether Sec
rotary Moody can make good his sug-
gestion that the mine operators ap-
peals to be let alone on that Ct cents
duty will be rejected. The country has
had one illustration Of the fact that the
power Of protected interests over the
action of congress in a given case is
able to nullify the wishes Or purposes
Of even the president. What assurance
has Secretary Moody that when some
Democrat offers a bill to repeal the
duty on anthracite the Republican ma
jority will be either willing or able to
enact the measure? He has none.
During the last season, and, indeed,
throughout the entire existence OF the
administration placed in power in
March, 1901, the protected interests
vent at will any interference with ex-
listing tariff schedules. Secretary
Moody cannot claim in advance the
virtue for the administration which he
represents of either willingness or abil-
ity to take off that 81 cents. If the
Republican majority In congress re-
moves that duty, and the Republican
president ratifies the action, it will be
because public sentiment throughout
the country has reached such a point
that the administration politicians and
the protected trusts alike will be forced
to do so. They will not be permitted
now to make a virtue of the Necessity
that may then be imposed on them.

it indelibly.
There is but one explanation of the

opinions of the people Of Iowa on the

plain the Reputation Of such views

FOOTBALL TOO BRUTAL.

Get your ear to the ground now and
hear the rumble and roar Of the fiends
of the football oval, as, juggernaut like,
they rush over the bleeding bodies of
their opponents to the goal Of victory.
When men meet on the street and
maui each other to pulp it is called as
sault with intent to do great bodily
harm. When they do the same thing
on football field it is called athletics.
In one case somebody goes to jail. In
the other, part of the belligerents go
to the hospital and the others are toast
about them.
And yet football games increase In
number year by year. In spite Of the
pleading Of parents with their boys to
keep out Of the contests, in spite of the
warnings Of physicians that the exer-
else is too violent and too perilous, the
sport" which has half its participants
on the verge of the grave from the
beginning of an oval battle until the
call of time goes on without a legisla-
tive enactment or a policeman in it's
way. a1If
Not a week passes but the newspa-
pers chronicle the death Of some bright
boy who, anxious to bear the pigskin
over the enemy's goal line, has received
a fatal kick in the head, has had his
breast crushed or his spine broken. For
the moment we hold up our hands in
horror, but soon all is forgotten, and
the business of breaking arms, twisting
legs. and jaInming faces out of shape
goes on as Before without an organized
protest.
Men Of every nation like those kinds
Of sport which have continually in
prospect the splitting of blood The
Spaniard is thrilled by bull fight for
this reason and 1t is this that is up
permost in the mind of the American
follower Of the prize fight. 1t is this,
too, which makes football so popular.
A good many people are tickled to see
some stalwart football player Of 200
pounds stick his elbow into the face Of
start flow of blood. Cries of pain are
frequently heard on the oval, but these
do not as rule excite pity. They are
far more likely to cause the gallery
to shout kick him in the stomach"
walk on his EARL and the like.
A strong public. sentiment against
football, as now played by American
colleges, is. needed. 1t is up to the pull
pit and the press to direct that senti-
ment along right lines.

JoLLYING THE coLoRED BROTH

A public statement is due about this
time from the Republican politicians
of the South Of the colored variety.
They have avowed the necessity Of it,
and as the necessity applies to the pee-
pie who are now in control at Wash
ington, it is safe to bank on it's ap-
pearance.
The colored brother who is not hot
on the trail of office has long since
been forced to the conviction that the
negro vote has been an essential part
of the capital stock of the Republic
an party. He has 1t brought home to
him also from time to time that it may
even yet be found an important factor
by that same party in the determine
ton Of its fortunes in state and ma
tional politics alike. Hence it is that
the Republican colored brother in the
South who has found himself pitch
forked out of the Republican party
has got busy lately, and made his ap-
pearance In Washington. He related
tleman in the White house, and he got
all kinds of sympathy.
This explains why the public state
ment aforesaid is forthcoming. Eth
er the statement in question or one
suggesting to the colored brother to
retaliate on the Republican candidates
in the prevailing congressional cleo
tons in the South was inevitable.
Now, however, that the colored Repub-
lican patriot has received the neces-
sary assurances Of sympathy" the
form of the forthcoming statement is
authoritatively announced.
Had these Republican colored breth-
rem who visited the White house, and
who entertained the thought of retail
alton on Southern Republican congress
sional candidates, possessed an ounce
of Imagination they would have re-
Elected that they could not very we'll
retaliate, since, according to the admin
istration adherents, they have all long
since been forever and forever dis
franchised by the wicked Southern
white Democrat. But it was not the
imaginative faculty, we suspect, which
caused these worthy Afro Americans
to travel from their respective homes
to the Republican Mecca.
But even denying to these industri-
Gus children of Ham all capacity for
indulging in the speculative in politics,
they might be expected to see what
is happening all around them. The
lilly white" movement among the Re
publican Caucasian brethren is not
confined to the South. It extends to
the most northerly regions in which
the negro seeks residence.
1t is manifested in a splendid variety
of ways 1t knows no distinction of
sex or condition among the freedmen.
1t is an eminently proper thing for
all Republicans to eXtol their party and
it's policies in connection with the lib
GRAFTON and enfranchisement of the ne
gro and indeed to denounce the South
ern white man for his disposition to
deny o-equal social or political rights
to his colored brother. Talk is cheap,
and talk is a commodity which has
been lavished by Republican politicians
on the colored brother. Where has a
