Southern atrocities, and have in
fact labored with a zeal worthy of

1t is fact that numbers of times
these women, who perhaps have
never yet seen ia nily of pick

passed resolutions denouncing
and deploring, with a regret as
deep as Cape Cod, the Southern
er's treatment of the negro. From
a fountain which never runs dry,
even in a drouth, they have
drawn sympathy by the bucket

tears of brine, have offered the
negro in the South a generous
portion. But he must take it at
a distance for, strange to say,
up to this writing these people
have failed to invite the negro,
his family and friends, to come
and live in their sweet land OF
liberty, beans and sea breezes.
They have implored for laws to
prevent swift justice being meted
out to the burly buck who assaults
and outrages Southern woman.

whole South, the whole Southern
people--all for the negro. The
condition of the negro in the
South has been pictured black as

been cut, but after all, no trans

Necessary Caution.

The frightful automobile accident
in New York, it is hardly necessary
TO saw. ought to make everyone cx-
ceedingly cautious in dealing with
these eccentric machines. though. in
view of the Characteristic reckless
ness of the American temperament.
II is almost too much to hope that
any such change VIII take place. One
circumstance in connection with the
accident strikes one as little queer.
WHY were dense crowds Of people
standing where they would be Ger
tain to be injured in the event of
che Of the machines. running of the
track? Everybody knows that when
the chauffeur loses control.of an au-
tomobile it is likely to go in almost
any direction except the right one.
and it appears strange that people
should be standing in crowds, sep
arated from the track only by
rore. where an errant machine
would be sure to strike them.
1t would seem that the ordinary
racing rules. and rules for the man
agement Of automatic vehicles in
general. will have to undergo a
somewhat radical revision in order
to make the public entirely safe
from the ravarcs Of the automobile.
Two points should receive special
attention. One that an inexperi-
enced person should never be al
lowed to take one OF these machines
cut where its running away can hurt
anybody but himself. Another is
that races and other experimental
performances should be conducted
in places where explosions, run
aways and other cccentricities CT
the continuance cannot result in loss
of life among the spectators. 1t is
impossible to keep people away
from these exhibitions. and the task
of the manager must therefore be 10
make the position OF the lookcrs-on
absolutely safe It is said that an
automobile has been known TO try
to climb tree, but it has never yet
bounded up straight in the air to
any distance. and seats high above
the track would therefore probably
be safe.

Senator Beveridgc wished to know
where the papers had been obtained,
and Senator Culberson refused to tell
him. The Secretary Of War had politely
notified the Philippines Committee that
he could not furnish them.
Senator Beveridge continued to insist
on being informed who had given out
the papers when Secretary Root refused
to make them public. Senator Culber-

Brows were hot with fire

And the moons white face.
Looked on Nile and Jordan,
