The Roswell daily record. [volume] (Roswell, N.M.) 1903-current, 1903-12-29

Hon. James C. Gillespy, who is the
present representative of Boone
county, Mo-, in the legislature was
here about the first of December
with mis- son James B. Gillespy OF
Canyon City, Texas. While here he
was interviewed by a representa-
tive of the Record and he praised
Roswell and the Pecos Valley very
highly. He said that he intended to
write his impressions of the town
and country for the Columbia, Mo-,
Herald. The article was printed in
the Christmas edition of the Herald
and was given a position on first
page. 1t was dated as a letter from
Roswell, Dec. 8, 1903. The Cofum,
bia Herald is the paper that bears
the reputation of being the best
edited and best printed country
weekly in the United States. It's
Christmas edition was a special IL
Illustrated magazine edition, and next
to the fr~ontispiece was the article
on From the Panhandle to the Pc
cos Valley"
Mr.. Gillespy wrote at length on
the Panhandle, and had the follow
ing to say in regard to Roswell:
Zone of it's greatest depots and
distributing points being the valley
the Pecos river. while one of the
most charming spots along this
railroad or in this valley of the Pc
cos is this city of Roswell, New
Mexico, situated in a fertile valley
about one hundred miles long by
perhaps fifty miles broad. Within

HAYES IN GOTHAM

There was a monster mass meeting
at the Academy of Music, BROOKLYN
N Y, on the night of the 3rd inst
called to protest against suffrage con-
dlt1onS in the South as related to
our people. The movement befan with
the public-spirited colored men of
Brooklyn, but the best whites soon
caught the infection and contributed
by their presence, voice and means
TO make the occasion a great success.
Two thousand people were present.
George E. Wibecan, Jr., we'll and
favorably known in both political
and social circles presided. and
lmpassiOned addresses were delivered
by such representative men as Gent
stewart l.. Woodford. ex-Minister to
Spain. and Rev. Drs. Cadman and
Harmon
The principal address was made hv
lawyer II. Hayes who is reported to
nave thrilled his audience with his
mastery presentations of the pathet-
lc condition of the race in the South
and with his denunciation of the

THE COLOR-LINE.

After all the true democracy of this
country is found in the athletic field
Last Saturday over on Georgetown
campus, there was a baseball contest
between students of that college and
nine from Harvard. The latter won
after a hard-fought battle. Harvard's S
shortstop is a young colored gentle
man, Mr.. Matthews, a bright student
at the University and an all around
athlete. When the game began George
towns captain, one Samuel Apperious,
declined to play in the game with
Matthews, and some few on the bleach
ers said disagreeable things; but grit,
manhood and skill soon told, and it
is safe to say that Mr.. Mtthews will
be welcome visitor in athletic circles
here at any time.
Mr. Apperious is no doubt feeling
pretty mean, that is, if he is capable
OF such a sensation. His want Of
hospitality, his conspicuous rudeness,
and their absolute futility must be
subjects of unpleasant recollection to
him. His name indicates his un-Amer-
lean traits. Other men present grew
ashamed of their conduct and acclaim
ed Matthews as heartily as they had
Sneered at him, but this foreign i'm
portatiOn was not sure enough of his
own status to imperiI 1t in a contest
of Drawn and skill with coIored
gentleman.
MIR. Matthews set him fine example
OF courtesy and won out on his merits.

parlson Harvard's great shortstop

the equation. The white man has al
ways in mind our unlettered hordeS
in the South. They are the menace to
our whole country'S industrial and
economic progress, and their condi-
ton reacts upon our northern brother.
Mr.. Cleveland has some bitter things
to say about the saturnalia of unletter-
ed and blighIing Negro suffrage, but
we do not believe such sentiments
would have been uttered had he not
determined that however kindly his
feelings towards Tuskegee were, he
must obtain the good will of the poll
tical South, but we can afford to for
give him in the light of the strong
approval which he gives to DR.. Wash
ington's work and OF the incalculable
good which his espousal of the cause
must do it.
1t was a brave act to declare himself
in favor of Tuskegee's theory and
methods, and even had he omitted his
structures on race suffrage we do not
believe he would have alienated a
single friend among his Democratic
adherents in the South.

CLEVELAND AND THE NEGRO.

The theory of industrial education
has never been popular among the
mass of northern Colored men, or to
be more accurate the subordination to
it of all higher education of the race
has met with their disfavor. Yet we
think that the thoughtful minds
among us must find in EX-PreSident
Cleveland's great speech on Tuesday
night last in New York, food for pro-
found thought and convincing evil
dence that their position is not ten
able. Especially do We commend Mr..
Cleveland's views to the careful con-
sideration of the New England con-
tingent, which finds its chief exponent
in the Boston Guardian.
AS we have more than once contend
ed higher education is only for the
few of any race. The training of the
eve and the hand are the prime es-
sentials of the many for the daily
battle of life. while the higher walks
of learning are really among life's
rareSt luxuries. The more enlighten-
ed members of the race in the North
il would seem, fail to consider that
when white men discuss the Negro
question they are never a factor in

The strike of the main anticlines is
probably parallel with the strike of
