ROOSEVELT is RESPONSIBLE.

Memphis Commercial-Appeal.
In locating the responsibility for the cpl
demc of lynching that has broken out in
this country it is impossible to avoid the
conclusion that President Roosevelt is the
chief offender. There can be no doubt
that by his Tightly actions and his indis-
erect utterances he has revived the negro
problem.

County Treasurer B. A. Coll to-day filed
suit in the Circuit Court against the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company for 5000 dam
ages, the complaint setting forth that he
was Inundated and inconvenience to that
amount. Last September Mr.. Coll bought a
round-trip ticket over the defendants road
TO indianapolis. he being on his way to st.
Mary's to place his daughter In school.
When he reached Indianapolis he alleges he
placed the ticket in the hands of the ticket
agent at that place, which was one of the
conditions mentioned in the ticket. The
following date. when he returned to Indian
apolis from Terre Haute, he called for his
ticket, but the agent refused to deliver ii to
him. as he had conceived the idea that the
person asking for it was not Mr.. Coll.
The complaint sets out that the plaintiff
made every effort to convince the agent of
his identity, and even attempted to get in
side the gates at the station so as TO get
the conductor to identify him, but here he
was stopped by two policemen, who in
formed him that he would have to buy an
other ticket. When he returned to this city
the local agent offered to refund him his
money, but he refused to accept it.
