Mr.. Thomas F. Cadwalader of Ba1ti-
more says: 1T is in the states north
Of Mason and Dixon's line where Afro
American crime produces the most
dangerous acts of retaliation on the
part of Infatuated white men nova
days." This statement is not true.
Last year only twelve of the 104 lynch
ings were committed in Northern
states and eight of the victims were
white. Only four .Afro-Americans
were lynched in Northern states
against about eighty in the South. The
South is still the headquarters Of the
lynching trust.

The Republican platform to be pre-
scented at Chicago has been written
and is now clothed in language as
agreed upon by the recent conferences
of prominent Republicans at the White
House. AS now completed it will be
delivered to the committee on resolu-
tons by Senator Lodge, who will, in
all probability. be the chairman. The
tariff plank. so those who have seen
the completed copy say, closely fol-
lows the plank adopted by the Mas
sachusettts State Convention, a few
weeks ago. Before that state platform
was drawn, Mr.. Lodge had extended
conferences with the President and
other prominent men. One plank will
reaffirm the policy of the party on the
sacredness of the ballot and the equal
ity of citizens.

held for three years, until honorably

Seventh cavalry, a white regiment. He
remained with this regiment for about
ten months, until he made a transfer

service has been continuous since Oc-

Big conventions are not as likely to
be stampeded this year as they were
ten years ago, or even two years ago.
Delegates are chosen with greater
care, for the Importance of the Office
of delegate is beginning to be appre-
ciated.
This is the last week of the Repub-
lican delegate conventions. That is
because the call for the national con-
vention specifies that the delegates
must be elected at least thirty days
before the meeting at Chicago. For
that reason there is an unusually large
number of state and congressional dis
trict conventions this week.
More than majority of the Republi
can convention has been instructed by
state and districts to vote for the nom.
ination of President Roosevelt. The
nomination will be by reclamation, as
was that of President Mckinley al
Philadelphia four years ago.
