more American says to-day in a dis
patch from Washington:
president Roosevelt is to make
his position known on the negro
question. Moreover, he will do it In
q public speech and in the very thick
OF that portion of the country where
it ia the dominant issue. So much OF
nonsense has been said and printed
as to the real sentiment OF the presi.
dent on the matter that both he and
q number OF friends with whom he
has consulted believe it the part oil
wisdom that he clearly state his posi-.
tion in order that ignorant clamor
and abuse may be stopped. The
president has accepted an invitation
from the people of Georgia to visit
that state in January and deliver an
address. The exact date and the
place at which the speech will be
given have not been decided, but il
will be left to the Judgment Of Mr.
Roosevelt and to the exigencies o.
official business. There is also 9
touch OF sentiment in the visit. The

Roosevelt will visit her birthplace.
