JUDGE ROBINSON AND THE
HANNA BANQUET.
Charlotte Observer.

Ex-Judge w. s. OBJ. Robinson,
of North Carolina, refused to sit
down at banquet given by Senator
Hanna to the members of the Re
publican national committee in
Washington Saturday night, for the
reason that one of the guests was
Judson Lyons, colored, Register Of
the Treasury and committeeman
from Georgia. He is a citizen of q
State here white and black people
do not sit at the same board at the
same time, and it was quite like
him, open, out-spoken Irishman that
he is, to assert his gentility along
with his Republicanism and absent
himself from the banquet hall. Other
Southern committeeman mightswal-
low their choler along with their
cakes and ale, but not he. They
lacked the courage to do what they
wanted to; he had it. Toadies and
bootlicks, feeling on this occasion as
so many Southern Republicans do in
national assemblages of their party,
like poor boys at frolic, they ac-
cepted their associate along with the
victuals. Not so Judge Robinson.
1t would be an affrOnt to him to con-
graduate or compliment him upon
his course or conduct. None other
was to have heen expected of him.
Senator Hanea's usual tact and good
sense failed him on this occasion. As
for Lyons, If he had any delicacy he
would have saved the host Of the
evening the embarrassment which
his presence caused, tor he witnessed
at White House reception few
months ago the avoidance of him
self by Southern white men present

AND HANNA, 90.
Raleigh Post.

Raleigh Post.
Judge Robinson, of t.oldsboro, did
the wise thing, and just the thing
expected of him, yesterday at Wash
ington when he declined to join Mr..
Mark Hanna's social tea party after
discovering that the personnel of the
performance was to be repetition
of the Presidents Function" at the
White House. This dinner was
strictly a social affair, and Mr..
Hanna as chairman of his party's
committee, following the action of
the President and his party's certain
nominee tor President, simply and
enphatically commits the party to
social as well as political equality of
the white and negro races.
1t is shame, a crime, that help
less race should thus be led into trou-
ble for the sake of the benefit it is
hoped to reap by the leaders of a
great political party. 1t is no less a
crime that all other interests of the
country are to be disturbed if not Sc
riously injured by such desperate
methods to accomplish a party ad-
vantage, all to secure the votes of the
negroes of doubtful Northern States.
The Republican party has become,
if it has not ever been, rule or ruin
party, and the conservative, patriotic
people of the country, North as we'll
as South, cannot appreciate the fact
too quickly, or act as their welfare
requires too promptly.
The Post is exactly right in styling
this 'snegro-ism' of the Republican n
party ga shame and crime upon a
helpless race" for political ends

tha, u. refused to break bread with

ano proU bly, successfully. Friends of
the utat.uoal committeeman say that
he has no aspirations for q federal
appointment and that the admins
trat;ou will never have the oppor-
tunity of rebuking him for his ac-
ton Saturday night. One North
Carolina Republican said to-day:
"The Republicans of the state
will applaud Judge Robinson for re-
fusing to sit down at table with a
negro. He will not suffer as the re-
suit OF his action, and you can just
bet that he will be reelected nation
al committeeman with unanimity.
AS Republicans we have to stand by
Mr.. Roosevelt, but even the pre-i-
dent cannot force us to discard our
self-respect. We will not follow him
in his negro policy"
So far as can be learned Judge
Robinson is the only member of the
national com mittee who refused to
eat with the negro. The other South
ern members were not in a position
to assert their independence. Those
who are not asking for Office are die
tacting the patronage in their own
States, and this fact kept them from
doing the thing that they wished to
do. It is said that John @. Capers,
the national committeeman from
South Carolina, wished to absent
himself from the banquet hall, but
he is candidate for judge of the
new federal district to be created in
the State, and after mature reflection
he decided that it would be best to
swallow the negro pill. The com
ment is made that his action will
probably win him the appoin tment

when he saw the negro STRIDE across

his heel and departed. AS be was
leaving the hotel Judge Robinson
stopped long enough To make this
significant statement:
"You may just tell the people of
North Carolina that l came to Wash

That the action of Judge Robinson
created a sensation when it became
known is putting it mildly. Southern
Republicans without exception ap-
plauded the action Of the Tar Heel,
and in iacl many northern Repuoli-
cans did likewise. Not q discOrdant
note was heard at the Arlington dur

Judge Robinson's hasty departure.
