Occasionally a person will want his
mail specially held at the post Office
for Il specified time. perhaps while he
may be out of town for few days. 1t
has been customary to accommodate
him. even with mail bearing a return
card. although in SO doing the mail was
held longer than the period named in
the card. A recent ruling of the de-
partment does away with that practice,
postmasters being ordered to return
such mail at the expiration of the time
given in the card.

A Common Nuisance.

In the interest Of decency, peace and
safety, we again call attention TO a com.
mon nuisance on the streets daily. viz.
the crowds OF negro boys who gather
on the streets and In the alleys. They
play ball, wrestle, box, scuffie, yell and
make lie miserable generally. IL these
ioafers will not work they should be
prohib ted from interfering with those
who do. Try to get one OF these young
bucks OF leisure to do little work In
your garden They are always busy
doing nothing. 1t is a source OF re-
mark from visitors that there are
more men and boys on our streets do.
ing nothing than in any town In the
State. And yet 1t is almost impossible
to get anything done. The town
cannot compel the idler TO work. but
can and ought TO prevent rowdyism
and disorder on the public streets.

A Negr0's View of Roosevelt.

The Democrats of Washington and
especially those OF the South, have been
commenting on communication which
appeared In thePost this morning from
negro named Henry Baker, in the
course Of which the writer says that "if
Roosevelt is elected, it will so encourage
the colore6 men that we will demand
/ that Prof. Booker Washington shall be
the Republican candidate for vice
President in 1905" The letter SAYS
further:
Let not my colored brethren forget
that scene in the Republican Conven-
! ton when a beautiful white girl was
placed upon the stage and by her side
negro boy. They then placed flags
In their hands and allowed them 10
lead in the cheering, thus making the
first and grandest example Of the equal
ity of the races that history records.
In the Democratic Convention there
was not a single colored man. 1t was
In word and and in deed a white mans
convention OF white mans party. All
hail to Roosevelt who has given the
poor negro so much to encourage him
to persist in his political and social
rights"
The letter contains much more along
the same line, commencing Roosevelt
for having stood for social equality OF
the two races, and lauding him for his
action in lunching with Booker
Washington at the White House. Tn
short, the letter lauds the President
for doing everything for which the best
whites, North and South, have con.
demned him.
