against person not only soiled blythe
Addicks intiuence-the very repre-
sentative of Addicksism, and the gas
mans chief lieutenant. These were
the immediate circumstances of Roose-
velt's action.
1t has even an uglier aspect when
other facts are known; Byrne had re-
signed the District Attorneyship for
an ulterlor political purpose, and de-
sired to be restored to his position.
His resignation came about in this
way: Addicks had attempted to make
a deal with Ball, then Representative,
which would secure the long-coveted
Senatorship. Ball, a Regular Repub-
lican, repudiated Addicks, who de-
termined to punish him. When Ball
sought denomination In 1900, Addicks
put up Byrne TO beat him. Byrne re-
signed 10 order to receive the nomi-
nation; but the voters OF his own party
could not stomach him; his opponent,
a Democrat, was elected. Addicks is
quoted as having said that he would
willingly sink the Delaware Republican
party In order to beat Ball.
Byrne, holding public duty and re.
sponsibility as nothing, had stepped
down from a high Federal position
to become the temporary instru-
ment of Addicks's personal venge-
ance. Presumably he knew that he
could not be elected to Congress. I'm
doubtedly he had Addicks's promise
that, if defeated, he should be restored
TO the District Attorneyship. Un'
doubtedly-absolutely there can be nc
doubt upon this point-Rooaeyelt knew
the circumstances of this resignation,
his motives, his reliance upon Ad
dicks's influence to restore him; knew
every fact in connection with the case,
and understood perfectly Addicks's re-
quest for the reappointment. Fully
apprised of these facts, we'll knowing
Addickss character and his methods,
cognizant of Byrne's record, and ir
spite Of the protests of Delewares de-
cent people and the nation at large,
Roosevelt became the gas mans tool,
honored his requisition and sent
| Byrne's name to the Senate.
The Senate, in its rejection o.
Byrne's name, has given Roosevelt g
sharp rap over the knuckles.
Now Addicks has temporarily giver
up the Senatorship. He is now the
representative, for the time, of Della
ware Republicanism. Roosevelt has

Roosevelt Holding the Bag.

II the crime of lese majestic we're
possible in America "moral turpitude"
could not be applied, with impunity,
to the Presidential incumbent; and
criticisms OF Theodore Roosevelt's con-
nection with Addicks, the Delaware
corruptionist, would die on fearful
lips.
BY common consent, without COM
pulsion of law, we observe a rule of
temperate speech in characterizing the
Chief Executive or his acts. But
surely it is neither Incorporate nor
unreasonable to conclude that Mr..
Roosevelt is wanting in that principle
which the people domand in the Presi-
dent. In view of his Addicks relation
ship, "obliquity" would not be too
strong to apply.
Roosevelt, as author and critic, once
called another President "a small
politician, OF low capacity and mean
surrounding, proud to act as the SER
vile tool of men worse than himself y
Whether proud to be so or not, Roose-
velt has been the willing tool OF j.
Edward Addicks, corruptionist and
politician OF the meanest type.
10 arrive at the extent to which
Roosevelt stopped In the appointment
of Addick's man Byrne it is necessary
to consider that Mr.. Nields, tho temp
orary incumbent of the District At
torneyship, was indorsed for the po-
sition by nearly every lawyer in Della
ware, irrespective of party. by the
entire judiciary and by both Federal
Judges; and that Byrne, aside from
being the corrupter's man Friday, was
signally unfit, having been notorious
for inefficiency during former tenure
Of the Identical Office and being op-
posed by the better element OF the Re-
publican party and persons Of char

Community Rights North and South.

Has the President OF the. United
States right to force Federal official
upon community against the unani-
nous protests of its inhabitantsP
That, in essence, is the question in
volved in the appointment of colored
postmasters in the South. 1t is not a
question of color at all. 1t is ques-
tion of community's right to have it's
officials acceptable to its citizens.
If the President has legal right to
use the military power of the United
States to force repugnant official up
a Southern community he has the same
right to force repugnant official on
on a Northern community, or any
other. In other words, no community
could be entitled to any voice in the
selection of its federal officials.
The legal eligibility of colored and
white to hold office, other things being
equal, is not involved in the question,
except remotely.
People who have no racial prejudice
at all in such matters might oppose a
particular mans appointment because
OF unftness or for other reason, re-
gardlees of his color. When such op'
position is overwhelmingly in majority
it is entitled to consideration, South OF
North.
In the notorious Indiauola case, the
President might have avoided trouble
by appointing another colored post
master in the place of the obnoxious
Mrs. Cox, resigned. His right to hole
in office by force an official who hal
resigned is far from clear. His righ
to deprive community of posta
facilities, the cost of which it helps tt
defray, is more doubtful still.
There is a clearly perceptible trace
of vindictiveness in the course pur
sued by toe postotfice department
which looks better to the North at {
distance than it would look if brough
nearer home.
There is also clearly perceptiblt
indication that the real, though un
avowed, motive of the attempt to dis
cipline the people OF Indianola is no
so much a diplomatic defense of thu
right of colored people in the South a
an appeal to the colored voters in tn,
North.
The right of any community to pro
test against obnoxious federal official
is sacred one. The attempt t.
weaken and obscure it by confoundinl
it with question of racial equalit,
can not succeed.
Colored mems eligibility to Office i
the same as that of white men-n
more. The right of protest against al
obnoxious white man ought to be pre-
served. And with it should be pre-
served the right of protest against a.
obnoxious colored man.-St Loui

Lowry's protege gave O'Brien some
trouble in the first round, when the lat

the vicious blows landed on vulnerable
spot, and at the end of the three minutes
Ester's bellows needed mending after the
fast pace.
In the second round Ester foolishIy
began leading with his right hand with
long swing which described complete
half circle; this was the beginning of
the end. O'Brien sidestepped, and swish
ed right hand counter across. The first
landed a trife high, the second sent
Ester Keeling TO the ropes, when O'Brien
mercifully allowed him to finish the
round.
