The decision of the Board of Estimate
on Friday to widen Delaney street on the
south side in order to make it the main
thoroughfare to the new East River Bridge
has gaddened the hearts of many Tam.
many spectators who bought up property
along Delaney street. The scheme was
first proposed when James j. Coogan was
president OF Manhattan borough and was
heartily approved by Maurice j. Holahan.
president of the Board of Public Improve
ments. At that time a number OF East
Side property owners proposed that the
main approach to the bridge be made
by cutting street diagonally across from
the entrance to the bridge to a point on the
Bowery near Cooper Union. -
Tho Tammany contingent vigorously
insisted that the Delaney street approach
was the only feasible one. Martin Engal
and Assernblyman Isidor Cohn vigorously
opposed the Cooper Union route. So
confident were the Tammany spectators
that the Delaney street plan would finally

both sides of Delaney street from tho
entrance to the bridge to the Bowery were
bought up. p.ls
The same arguments pro and con for
the two approaches were made before, tho
present Board of Estimate with the result
that the Delaney street plan was adopted:
Martin Engel refused to be interviewed
last night except to say that the improve:
inent was the one originally approved
by him.
When asked If he had specialized in real
estate property recently in Delaney street
he said: Il speculate all over ...

Judge Crite and Senator Noel

presumed that Major vardaman

that day OF at some other time,
during this Term of Court. 1t
would be a good thing if our voters
will turn out and hear these dis
tinguished gentlemen discuss the

canvass. They should avail them
selves of every opportunity of
posting themselves upon these
questions SO as to vote intelligent
ly and AVOID depositing their
ballots in the dark.
Each of these gentlemen are
able and patriotic citizens, who
have the welfare Of the state at
heart, Gene out and hear them
patiently and fully and then make
up your minds as to which you
prefer to be your next governor.

Remarkable

Secretary Of War, Elihu Root,
made . speech last week before
the swell republican organization
Of Nov York City, the Union
League, IN which he said that the
Acknowledgement Of the negro had
proven a miserable failure. The
close relationship which Secretary
Root bears to the present admins
tration makes this state ment re-
markable at this time. Roossvelt
is now the head Of the republican
party and has been since his access
ion to TIE presidency engaged in
strenuously attempting to estab-
lish the negro in q higher social
and political sphere than he has
hitherto occupied. He has assum-
ed the role Of champion for the
negro and has in many ways dem
onstrated his desire and intention
to elevate him to = position Of
equality with the white man, es-
pecially as the beneficiary Of fav.
ors from the republican party. The
coustry is familiar with his acts
and doings in this direction and
has been made sick and tired OF
his n~auseating demonstrations of
devotion to the negro. 1t has also
witnessed the terrible volcano of
popular disgass sver his conduct
which has bla3ed cat and covered
him deep beneath the indignation
Of decent people. The speech Of
Secretary Root, made at this time
before the highest and most infiu-
entail organization of their party,
indicates that Teddie has taken
almost too much tether and that
the time has come when he should
be taken down a button hole or
two. The staid and sober old
leaders of the party can e now
where their strenuous and head
strong young president is leading
them and have made up their
minds to call him to a halt. The
speech is significant. 1t means
that the country has protested
against Roosevelts policy in this
matter and that the negro is al.
ready as much Gin it" as the
Caucasian race intends that he
shall ever be.

Dr.. Reitx, OK president Of the
Orange FREQ State, has announced
that he has perfected arrangements
to purchass 100000 acres Of
land in East Texas and locate
thereon three thousand Boer fami-
lies, who are anxious to escape
British rule. This will be : big
thing for Texas if it should culmi-
nate into reality. That state is an
empire within itself. It covers a
broad expanse OF territory and it
is as far from the east Texas line
to Ell Paso as it is from the same
point to the Atlantic ocean. 1t is
as large as the i've gulf states
with Tennessee and South Carolina
thrown in. The territory embraced
in east Texas is just like our piney
woods in South Mississippi. Meth
er the water nor eli innate is As
good as ours. The soil is similar
and in products is about equal to
ours. We do not see why we
can't get some Of these patriotic
people to come and settle down
there. II they are going to leave
their country we might induce
some of them to come to Our
state by a little coaxing. They
would make good citizens and
help develop the latent riches Of
that region. They r honest,
frugal and industrious people and
weuld prove a valuable addition
to our population. 1t our state
would make a bid for immigrants
from that direction we might get
some who would prove much more
desirable than many who are COM
ing in from other directions.
