MI Money Explained at the outset OF
his remarks that IL he could secure unant-
NOUS consent for leave to print, he would
not take up the time of the Senate. The
sentiment OF the Senate seemed to ba
that remarks not delivered should not be
spread on the record, He thereupon pro-
ceeded. and delivered himself Of some
severe structures OF the President. stat
ing in the course of HIS remarks that Mr..
Roosevelt was not the President of Amer
lea, but the president Of the black belt !"
At times he was closely intsTogated by
Messrs. Foraker and spooner.
1t was the Inherent and constitutional
right OF great community, said MI
Money, to have their mall handled regu-

els It the idea asked Mr., spoonerr,
"that IN no case shall the President ap--
point colored men to office In the Southt'
Mr.. Money replied that there was no
demand made and no authority for It,
+ but It was the feeling In the South that
tho colored man shall not hold any Fed
ernl office.
81 Mr.. spooner remarked that the Presi-
dent of tho United States could not DEFER
to the demands of any sections that the
rights of citizenship should be surren-
dered. He would show himself unfit to
hold office and quite willing to Violate
his oath as President,
TREMENDOUS MISTAKE.
Mr., Foraker commented upon Mr.. Mon
ley's statements as being most remarks
able because Of their far-reachng con-
sequences, !, I,
the amendment to the Constitution which
made negroes voters was q tremendous
mistake and he said vast number or
the people Of the North entertained the

half as good.
In the matter Of these appointments,
Mr.. Money said the President should con-
slider conditions In the South, Appoints
Ing negroes to office In the South was
most obnoxious and replugnant TO that
for any one raised north Of Mason and
Dixon's line to know anything about the
negro. He concluded by saying that there
had been no intention Of creating any dis
turbance whatever In 1ndianola but the
idea Of holding q public meeting was that
1t would apprlse the postmistress Of the
wishes Of the citizens and that It mlght
lead to her resignation The basis OF all
the trouble, he said was the referee sys-
tenn as 1t Dreyails III the South.

the debate on the law refusing the au-

lions. The Chamber finally adopted the
report against authorization by small

The announcement that Premier Combes

The Premier argued that the su ppresssllo!n

State had the right to regulate PUBLIC
instruction; to look into Its character
and forbid the teaching Of doctrines con-,

what the State was doing. 38 Isl.
Tho Premier then said that ne had al
lowed the fable that he had been hlmsell
