President Roosevelt and the Negro.

There is an after-light which brings
out facts in a simplicity of outline
resolving and dissipating all mys-
terry; and it is this after-light which
makes plain President Roosevelt's ne
gro policy, dispelIing as the St Louis
Republic points out, the haze of his
sophistical explanations and showing
forth his deliberate and unvarying dis
elimination in favor of negro candi-
dates for federal office.
In the retrospect Mr.. ROosevelts
course of action is seen to be n
straight. consistent expression of a
powerful mOtive-to curry favor with
a view to negro delegates and voters
Upon no other hypothesis is it explic-
able. The simple facts exclude every
other; they tell their own story. As
rehearsed by Representative Richard
son the facts have irresistible, con-
vincing force:
What | mean by President Roose-
velt's conduct can be comprised in his
urgent invitation to Booker Wash
ingtOn to take luncheon with him. and
Nashington's acceptance of the same;
his extraordinary support of DIR. Crum
for collector of the Port of Charles
ton, after his own senate committee
had turned the doctor down twice.
notwithstanding which Mr.. Roosevelt
PERSISTED in appointing him: also. his
extraordinary exercise of power. I'M
authorized. as / believe it was, by the
laws of the country, in wiping out the
postoffiee at Indianola. Miss
For the purpose of further illumi-
mating the motive and OF conclusively
negativing Mr.. Roosevelt's caustic
door of hope" explaining the story of
the Maryland negro A. S. Day should
be added. The fear that Days appoint
ment to the Quondocquia postoffice
would cost the republican administra-
ticn many republican votes in close
state prevented Days admittance
through the door of hope" al
though Day was a first class negro,
and had been indorsed by the con-
gressmen of his district.

plantations were these actions shroud-
ed at the several times they took

Trusts in New zeaIand.

In the midst of a period of general
prosperity New Zealand is now trou-
bled with trusts. and the colonial gov
eminent has drafted bill for their
suppression. The bill provides for the
establishment of a court of three
judges to inquire into monopolies.
This court is to be given full power
to investigate all complaints that
prices have been raised by the ma
chinery of trusts. 1t will have au-
thority TO call before it the respon-
sibIe parties when there is q general
advance in the price of commodities
and compel them to show how far
they are justified in their actions.
If it be the opinion of the court
that they are not justified, they will
impose heavy penalties upon them.
This now may prove a practical way
for dealing with this whole question.
1t might not be a bad idea for the
people of the United States to follow
the example.

Protected AericuIturists.

There are only two classes of. agri-
cuIturists that are protected by the
tarif-the sugar planter and the rice
grower-and these are confined to a
small strip of land on the gulf of Mex
leo and are few and insignificant In
number as compared to the vast num-
Der Of other agriculturistg.
While not receiving any benefit from
the tariff the farmers, as well as every
one else, are required to pay the tariff
tax on sugar and rice for the benefit of
the few growers of these products in
the United States and bonus besides
to the sugar trust, which Is especially
protected by the tariff. The farmers.
although not being protected by the
tariff. are like the balance of us Oblig-
ed to pay not only the tariff tax OH
nearly everything they eat, drink or
wear, but also the more onerous tax
that the trusts impose on their prod
ucts, which include about everything.

Dark Lantern Currency.

Secretary Shaw's currency scheme
bears the Wall street brand and should
be acceptable TO the Republicans in
congress, but it can hardly be that
President Roosevelt has approved it.
The president dotes on publicity, but
the Shaw scheme provides for secrecy,
and Wall street appears to have cap
tured both him and the president, for
It is impossible to believe that the Sec
rotary of the treasury would publish
his scheme without its having been APP
proved by the president. The absurdity
of the scheme is exposed by the New
York World, which says:
THE chief merit OF Secretary Shaw's
plan for an elastic or rubberneck
currency, In the mind Of It's author,
seems to be the secrecy with which its
proposed note issue could be manipu-
lated The only PERSONS he remarks
with pride, who would know of its ex-
istence would be the comptroller, the
bank and the few people who would
take sufficient interest in the published
statement of the bank to compare the
volume of circulation with the amount
of government bonds on deposit in the
The naivete of that 'IOwa idea" al
most disarms criticism. When Wall
street feverishly watches for the week
~ bank statement and stocks fly up
or down in response to fuctuation of
a few millions In the relative volumes
of loans and deposits does Mr. Shaw
seriously imagine that $200,O00,0O0 of
new notes could be put out in the dark
without attracting attention except
from a few persons whose idle curios-
ity led them to delve into volumes of
tatistics?
Secretary Shaw had better look out
on hfs periodical visits TO Wall street
or the few lambs left there Will be nib
bling at him, for he is the greenest Sec
rotary of the treasury we were ever
blessed with.

Lockiaw, or tetanus, is caused by a
bacillus or germ which exists plenti-
fully in street dirt. 1t is inactive as
long as exposed to the air. but when
carried beneath the skin, as in wounds
caused by percussion caps or by rusty
nails, and when the air is excluded the
germ is aroused to activity and pro-
dnces the most virulent poison known.
These germs may be destroyed and
all danger of lockjaw avoided by ap-
plying Chamberlain's Pain Balm free

Trolley Roads.

The farmers of Aroostook, Me-,
wanted n short electric line of their
own. They did not organize com
pany. issue a lot of chromos, nor sell
stock. They organized, procured a
charter, and built n trolley line 16
miles long. 1t will be used principally
TO carry truck 10 market. The CAPT
talization will represent the actual
cost and if reasonable dividends on
the actual investment are earned, the
owners will be satisfied. This will be
n new idea to the projectors of these
lines. The farmers, however. are wax
ing up to the fact that they can man
age these things as well as to put
them in the hands of an eXtravagant
company. They have already begun
the work by building telephone lines
so that there is no reason why they
should not take up the construction
of trolley roads. They can be built
very cheaply, and as they run every
where and carry both passengers and
freight. there is no reason why they
should not pay and pay largely.-Pe-

After a hard fight bv the friends Of pooc

After hard fight by the friends of good
roads in Chicago. the Aldermen of that
town have passed wide-tire ordinance,
which will apply to all wagons used in that
city. Hereafter, wagons with four wheels
carrying a load of 1000 pounds must have
tires one inch wide, those carrying 5000
pounds must have tires one and one-half
inches wide; 1000 pounds, two inches;
5000 pounds, two and one-haf inches;
5000 pounds, three inches, and so on. in
similar ratio including wagons of 10000
pounds burden, the width Of whose tires
must be eight inches. The tires OF two
wheeled vehicles must be- twice IA wide as
those specified for four-wheelers, at the
respective weights. The fine for violating
the provisions Of the ordinance may be
from $40 to $50.
Through the passage of this measure the
good roads advocates feel that they have
scored a notable triumph. Narrow tires
they maintain, have done more than any
thing else to undo the good work in road
building already accomplished. and they
hope TO see the time when only broad-tred
vehicles will be used throughout the coun-
try. 1t has required years OF industrious
effort to secure the Chicago ordinance.
