Mr.. Mearst for the Presidency has not
been serious.
There seems to be no doubt that Persi-
dent Roosevelt has for once been wrongly
accused Of drawing the color line In or
der to demonstrate his regard for the
negro. A Washington paper on Saturday
afternoon printed story to the effect
that when the President learned thai
negro children were not to be admitted
he refused permission granted Mrs. Char
lotte Smith to allow large number or
poor children gathered together by her
rescue league to play in the White House
lot on that afternoon.
The charge was made directly by Mrs.
Smith herself. Investigation. however,
showed that Colonel Symons. superin-
tendent of public grounds, did not know
whether negro children were to be adj
mftted or not, and President Roosevelt
said at Oyster Bay yesterday he had
never even been informed that the lot
was 10 be thrown open to any children.
The better informed correspondents did not
send out the story The simple truth con-
cerning Roosevelt's love OF the darkey is
enough without any establishment.
The report Of the production OF phos-
phate rock In 1902 by Dr.. Joseph stuth-
ers is now in press for publication as
part OF the United States Geological sur
vey's volume on mineral resources for
1902. The report states that the phos-
phate rock industry In South Carolina
and Florida Is gradually recovering from
the setback 1t received In 1900. The de-
crease In Florida as compared with 1871
was more than compensated by the large
increase OF land pebble produced In
South Carolina there was a slight de-
crease in quantity and value while IN
Tennessee there was slight decrease in
production and an increase In value. Ihe
marketed output. instead of the amount
mined, Is made the basis OF the report on
the production of phosphate rock.
