Roosevelt and a Cancer Cure.

New York, Nov. 27.-President
Roosevelt came to New York to.
day to attend the funeral of Jas.
King Oracle, whose late wife was
sister of the presidents mother.
During the five hours he was in
the city he was surrounded by
several hundred policemen and a
mum ber of special officers, but an
apparently harmless crank man
aged to elude their vigilance and
handed to the president letter
regarding a panacea which he
claims he has discovered. The
letter was given to one of the
special officers, and the man, who
gave his name as A. b. Deming,
of $50 Broadway, was taken by
the police to court, where he
talked wildly.
The interruption came as the
president was leaving the church.
Mrs. Roosevelt was much agitated
over the occurrence. but the
president was not at all alarmed.
AT $50 Broadway it was said
that Deming had desk room and
that he had always appeared to
be perfectly rational on all sub
jects except his panacea.
When Deming held out the
letter the president took it and
handed it to a secret service man.
Deming was then pushed back
and placed under arrest. He
said that he had cure for can
Ger, which he wished Emperor
William to try. He wanted
President Roosevelt to write a
letter to the Emperor recon-
mending the cure.
Deming was taken to the
Tombs Police Court. Before be-
ing arraigned he said:

dent did not keep my letter in.

Negro and Jew.

To the Editor of The Evening Post:
Sir: In a recent number of the Libre
Parole are some interesting comments by
M. Edouard Drumont on the negro ques-
ton in the United States, which show how
the race problem of one country may be
made to point moral in the affairs OF
another. M. Drumont says:
''As concerns the negroes, we have no
right to encourage by our approval the
rigorous measures which have been adopt
ed against them across the Atlantic AS
1 have said before, they have done us no
harm in France, and hence we do not see
why we should intermeddle with their
struggle with the whites in the United
States. The moral which stands out plain
ly from these facts is the esta blishment
of a scientific, moral, chronological, social,
and economic truth with which our read
ers have long been familiar. Equality be-
tween races will never exist. Shem, Ham
and Japheth will never live side by side
in fraternity, tolerance, and peace. 4.
In France, Japheth has become the slave
of Shem. In the United States, Japheth
wishes to reduce Ham again to the condi-
ton of servitude from which he already
regret that he raised him.

MR. SIMMONS DEATH.

The whole people of the State are
shocked and deeply grieved at the terri
hle tragedy which has come into the fam
lily of Senator F. M. Simmons
His father, Mr.. Furnifold G. Simmons,
full of years and with the honors and
respect which have come to him because
of these worthily spent, was shot down on
Saturday and as the reports come, this
at the hands of foul assassin. The
account of the murder, telling of the un-
availing cries for help from the wounded
man and of his futile efforts to staunch
the blood flowing from his wounds, adds
horror to his taking off and arouses deep
Indignation against the murderer and in
creases the measure of sympathy which
is filled to overfiowing for the stricken
family.
Mr.. Simmons was seventy-eight years
old and was leading citizen of Jones
county of which he was a native and
where he had spent his life. He was a
forceful man and he had impressed him
self upon the people of his section. He
was a man of convictions and one to be
relied upon His disposition was such
as to make friends and in his compost
ton there was quiet sense of humor,
and added to his other qualities was that
of a genial disposition.
Before the war he was Wing, and
his personal popularity was such as to
carry elections for him. About 1850 he
was a member of the State Legislature
and while a member of that body cast
his vote, said to have been the deciding
vote. for the building of the Atlantic and
North Carolina Railroad. Four years OF
his life were spent in Raleigh where he
was the cashier in the Internal Revenue
Department and while here he added to
his list of friends.
Mr.. Simmons leaves but one son, Sena-
tor F. NJ. Simmons His wife died few
years ago and younger son, James, while
a young man at college.

SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM.

There has been much f1ippant criticism
Pulitzer proposes to establish the pre-
vailng idea with many being that editors
cannot be made except in the print-shops.
The editor needs print-shop just like a
doctor needs hospital training, but both
must learn much from books. OF all men
an editor needs the broadcast education
and the best training. He may do well
without it; he would do ten-fold better
with it. Mr.. Pulitzer may not live to
see the value of his magnificent concep-
ton and endorsement, but his benefaction
will be seen in the better equipment of
journalists for all time.
1t will not revolutionize journalism.
Education does not work revolutions. 1t
rather works for evolution. 1t will give
ambitious young men special training they
can not now receive anywhere, and if
they have the nose for news and the scent
needed in the chase for news and the
sprightiliness to cook it up in a savory
way-then the school of journalism will
nightly assist them. 1t cannot give the
editorial instinct. 1t can give everything
else necessary.
Mr.. Pulitzer hardly expects that it will
in every respect fill the expectations of
Col Henry Watterson, who gives as his
reason for favoring it because it would
teach what is most lacking, thorough
seif-respect and full accountability to the
public" He cites a recent case of his
own where he had been somewhat extra
vagantly misrepresented by leading New
York newspaper. He wrote the editor
explaining the true state of affairs, but
so far no correction has been made, either
by letter or through the columns of the
paper. 1.-The writer of the article" con
