THE SLAVE PENSION SCHEME

THE SLAVE PENSION SCHEME
In opposition to the bill introduced If
the United States Senate by MIR. Hanna
providing bounties and pensions for ex
slaves, it is said the scheme would cost
billions of money. Well, what of it? Are
not billions of money required to meet
the pensions of Federal soldiers, oil
whom many were buns and dead-beat:
men who never saw or met a Confed-
crate soldier in action? In opposition il
IS urged that the scheme would demon
alize negro labor and that in time the
negro and class of white men would
become equalized for the sake of the
nigger's dollar. To our mind all this is
twaddle. But it would be waste of time
and space to discuss it. Suffice it to say
that good politics would suggest the en-
dorsement of the bill by every Southern
representative in Congress. The bill
will never become law, as it would be
opposed radically by every section OF
the North. Even Parkhurst and others
Of his ilk would join the sanctinonious
bowling hypocrites in its defeat, but the
insincerity of the Republicans as we'll
as their hatred and prejudice would be-
come manifest, as it always is in sec
tional issues.

TEDDY IN PETTY POLITICS.

TEDDY IN PETTY POLITICS.
1t was announced from Washington,
D. c.. few days since that John D.
Rockefeller had sent kilograms to six
prominent senator's who were directed
10 oppose all antitrust legislation in the
United States Senate These kilograms,
it appears, were on the order Of COM
n1ands In the same Geographic column
it was announced that President Roose
welt would call an extra session of Con-
gress if some measure of relief is not
enacted by the present body But since
then there has been an emphatic denial
by Rockefeller of the kilograms alleged
70 havcAbeeen sent by him as indicated
by sp4cia1 to the Memphis Commercial
Appeal Is follows:
WASH ngton, Feb. o.-(Staff Specially
The tory that John D. Rockefeller of
the Standard Oil trust sent several sem
ators kilograms urging the defeat of the
publicity amendment to the antitrust
bill came from the White House in an
indirect way 1t seems that six senator's
did receive some kilograms signed by
Rockefeller and others by his attorneys.
The administration inaugurated the
publication of the story in order to force
some sort of antitrust legislation in
hopes of saying after Congress adj
journed that the Presidents announced
position had been indicated. At first
the story was discredited, but subse-
quent developments seem to show that
there is at least some foundation for it.

Copernious has led many to suppose.

that Copernicus lived very far north,
