Politics and Politicians.

Has the following anything to do with
the firing of the brother of Col A. B.
Andrews as assistant postmaster at Raj
eigh? Or is the Southern Railway vice
president helping Pritchard to have Sam
Wick removed? w. A. Hildebrand, the
Charlotte Observers Republican Wash
ington correspondent, writes that paper
as follows:
Senator Pritchard, who was closeted
with President Roosevelt an hour today,
explained to the President the views of
those of his party associates who have
been classified as Lily Whites and con-
cluded with an expression of his own
opinion by recommending the removal of
Samuel w. Wick, who, as postmaster at
Wilmington. is the last of his line of ne
gro offtceholders in the State. The Chief
Executive gazed meditatively at the SEN
ator as he talked, indicating his deep
interest by giving utterance now and
then to sententious replies. The issue
went to the Pesident clear cut. for SEN
ator Pritchard planted himself firmly on
his recently constructed Lily White plat
form and at the end paused for the Chief
Executive to say whether the North
Carolina Senator or Clarkson, the Iowa
Federal offceholder, should direct Re-
publcn policies in the Old North State
The President hesitated however, before
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1902-12-03
NONE OF OUR FUNERAL,

1t is said that Roosevelt will remove
the negro, Sam Wick, as postmaster at
Wilson, upon the urgent solicitation OF
Senator Pritchard, and that a white man
named Boykin will be appointed Wick
is the only negro holding Presidential
office in North Carolina. His removal
would show that Roosevelt talks nit
the negro, but drinks nit" the Lily
Whites. If Wick is removed it shows that
Pritchard is the autocrat of the North
Carolina Republican party.
The whole procedure is one to disgust
consistent men. Pritchard put Wick in
office when he was dependent upon the
negro vote. Now he kicks him out be-
cause he doesn't need the negro to keep
him in office. In spite of the Crum lot
ter and the Presidents declaration that
color is no bar it is said he will kick
Sam Wick out because he is a negro.
Consistency-thy name is not Theodore
Roosevelt or Jeter Pritchard.
1t is none OF our funeral.

TALKING THROUGH HIS HAT,

Senator Pritchard is talking through
his hat. The Washington Star quotes
him as saying that 'the Republicans
polled bigger white vote than ever
known in the State" He says that here
tofore the Republicans polled $4,000 ne
gro votes. If the Republicans polled
125,O0O negro votes in 1900, then the Re-
publicans had only 1,296 white voters in
that year. AS a matter of fact every
body knows that for enc reason or an
other tens and thousands of negroes
is no doubt that the Republican white
vote in North Carolina was smaller this
year than in 1898 or in 1900. If this
is not true, name the county in which
it increased, AS a matter of fact Mr.
Pritchard cannot name a single county
where the white vote of his party in
creased this year. He may name Samp-
son and Chatham where the remaining
Populsts openly voted the straight Re-
publican ticket That was no gain, for
they had before this year been voting
what they called a Fusion ticket, which
has really been Republican.
1t is a matter of common notoriety
that in 1898 and 1900 very many negroes
did not vote. Therefore the idea con-
veyed in Senator Pritchard's interview is
misleading.

Chief Scott gave the policemen orders
to give the depot the same service they

the railroad declined to pay more for
police service than it had been paying,
the city feeling that it could not con-
tinue the service at that price.

Wilmington, N. c.. Dec. 2.-The city is
alive this morning with conference visi-

early is construed to mean that the at

AIRED and interesting address by Presid-

"Asbury and Early Methodism in the

policy treated of in the message are in
mendations, particularly those calling
for an increase in the Navy and a fur
cry. There was never truer statement
than "a good Navy is not a. provocative
Of war. 1t is the surest guarantee of
peace" Equally true is the statement:
Rural free delivery is no longer in the
experimental stage; 1t has become a
fixed policy"
AS to the foreign policy, little is said
except as to the Philippine situation. An
uniformed man, reading the optimistic
declaration with reference to the Ameri-
can occupation of those islands, would
gather that, except a handful of Moros.
the people Of those islands had warmly
welcomed our troops and our govern
ment, and that our policy was one that
had brought happiness and prosperitq. 1t
is to DE regretted that the glowing pic
ture painted by the President represents
more what he wishes than what is the
true condition. Except the bravery OF
most Of our soldiers and the honest de-
sire of some Of the civil officers to do
their patriotic duty, the whole Philip
pine business is one that has brought no
honor, no glory, no profit, no added
lustre to the American flag.
