TIE ADMINISTRATION AND THE NEGRO

The evident determination of Presi- dent Roosevelt to uphold and stand by the "colored brother" in the south and secure his vote in the next na- tional convention, is now attracting a great deal of attention in Washing ton. At a cabinet meeting a few days ago it was decided that the resig nation of a negro postmistress at lndianolo, Mississippi, which had been rendered because of a storm of local protest against the appointee holding the postoffice, would not be accepted. The administration is being severely criticised because of its determination to force a negro postmistress on a community that stoutly protests against it; the people of the south ex pect republicans to hold all the federal offices, but they have right to pro groes to offices, while at the same time the "colored brother" is denied any political recognition in any state north of the Mason and Dixon line If the President wishes to appoint ne groes 10 office why confne it to the south, where the people of the white race are unanimously opposed to it? Most of the bright negroes have gone north Why not appoint some to of fee up there-a postmaster at Oyster Bay. for instance?
 Certainly no man-black or white should be appointed to office in any community where popular sentiment is against him, and popular sentiment in the south is opposed to negro Of ficia,s. It is the general belief that the political effect of the presidents policy in the south will be to solidify the white vote for the democratic party. The republican party in the south would long ago have been much stronger than it is today had the negro been kept out of office and out of. politics.

It is evident that greatly exaggerat
 ed reports concerning the buboniC plague have come up out of Mexico and, after being further exaggerated by newspaper correspondents, been sent broadcast over the country. Certainly there has been no bubonic plague at Guaymas and no uneasiness is felt in that city, as the most thor ough quarantine is maintained. Still the fact that bubonic plague actually exists at Mazatlan is sufficient to war rant health officers in Bisbee and other Arizona towns in enforcing a general clean up and abolition of dirt.

THE DEMOCRATIC POSITION

Our evening contemporary seems to territory, including the Review, has a rod in pickle" for the railroads of the territory and will seek to do them serious injury during the coming leg islative session. No such disposition exists or has been intimated by eith- CT the democratic press or the demo- cratic party. There is a disposition however, and a demand from the peo- pie of me territory that no further special favors be granted to railroads in Arizona or to anyone else.
 For the past twelve years every ses- sion of the legislature has passed a tax exemption bill as a means of en- couraging the building of additional railroads in the territory. Several roads have been built and today are exempt from taxation as a result of such legislation, but we do not believe that a single line was built under the exemption favor that would not have been constructed without it. or that there is mile of railroad in Arizona not as able to pay taxes as any other class of property in the territory.
 Exempting railroads from taxation in Arizona was a means of avoiding a ] federal statute which prohibits the l territories from issuing bonds or other securities in aid of railroads, whip ping the devil round the stump, as it were While perhaps there has never been any determined protest against such legislation, at the time it. was being enacted, still the people are not and new never have been in sympathy
 with this faYoritism and there is nc ! necessity for any more Of it, and the ! Review hopes to see any attempt to secure the enaction of any more tax
 exemption laws fail in the coming leg
 islative session.

THE VEST
 RESOLUTION.

Senator Vest of Missouri. who will retire from the senate on March 4th, because of advanced age and feeble health, will round out his 24 years service as a senator by forcing the republicans of that body to go on record and show their hands in the matter of trust protection. In the mes sage of President Roosevelt, delivered to the senate on December second, it was recommended that all tariff be re- moved from anthracite coal coming into this country During the time con gress was in session in December, prior to the holidays, no move was made by any republican in either the house or senate to carry out the recommendation of the executive. On the 9th day of January, Senator Vest introduced a resolution in the Senate which will put every member of that body on record as either favoring or opposing the removal of the tariff duty on anthracite coal. The ven erable senator says he has but little hopes of securing the adoption of his resolutions; if the republicans had in tended to follow the lead of the presi- dent, for free coal. they would have made a move iE the matter and not have waited for some democrat to do so. There are two or three re, publican senators who will support the Vest resolution, but of course it will not be adopted, notwithstanding the highhanded robbery now being per. petrated by the. coal barons and the misery throughout the land because the price of. coal is so high the people can't buy it.
 This Vest resolution will serve ,tC bring the fact before the people that President Roosevelt cannot depend or his party leaders and lawmakers tc support him in any attempt to remedy the growing trust evil. It has been given out by Mark Hanna that repub licans must stand pat" on the high protective tariff system which has pro noted. the trust condition now monop olizing the business of the country and word and a wink from Mark Hanna has more weight with the re publican party than much pleading from President Roosevelt. If the re publieans in the senate turn down tho proposition of Senator Vest to put anthracite coal on the free list, which was the specific recommendation ot the presidents message, what doe:

During the year our rooms have been
improved by new paint and paper, thus
making them lighter and more attrac-

already been alluded to. At some flu
ture time it will be worth while to con-
slider the feasibility of cutting windows
in the east wall to light the alcoves and
save a large daily expenditure of gas.
We also need an artistic case for our
collection of music. 1t would also be
wise to enclose one or two of our cases
with glass doors so that valuable books
may be kept under lock and key.
In conclusion wish to thank the d.
rectors for their patient following of my
leadership for another year and for
their Jealous oversight of the various

willing to serve the institute it is GER
