NEGRO ON NEGRO.
Conservative Advice by Thrift, Eye.
putable Col0red Citizen.

Of all the speeches made during the
recent session of the American Bank
erS' Association, none has attracted
greater attention than that of Mr. John
Mitchell, Jr.. negro. a respected cit
iZen and successful bank president, of
Richmond, Va. He discussed the color
line in the South from q point of view
which gained for him the respect and
hearty applause of the thousand or
more fnanviers who heard his re-
marks.
The sum and substance of Mr. Nit
chelFs speech was that the industrious
whites and blacks of the South are
friends. and that there would be no
such thing as Il serious race question
in the South, but for the good for moth
ing loafers, Of which he said each
race has its share. 1T is primarily
the black loafers who cause the trou-
bles which beset our race" said Mr.
Mitchell, land we negroes who are
striving to better our condition and
add to the moral and material welfare
of our people despise them as thor
oughly as do the whites" Continuing.
Mr.. Mitchell said: Il am a product
of Southern soil, was educated in
Southern schools, have been 4 member
of the City Council of Richmond, and
have had the generous aid of leading
white citizens of that city in building
up the business of the savings bank
Of which l am the President. Speak
ing for myself, l can honestly say l
have never been Disseminated against
lecause of my color. A bank man
aged by negroes could not exist in the
South without the encoura cement of
the white business men. In Virginia
alone negroes are operating banks
having an aggregate capital of $3.50
600 and deposits of 100000. Our Vir
ginia negroes own property valued at
$1S,O0O,O0O, and the crops raised by
negroes throughout the South have an
average value of $112,O0O,O0O year.
When you hear reputable Southern
white man denounce the negro, you
may in almost very case be certain
that he means the loafer, not the
worker of our race.
I'm conclusion let me say. that if l
have created a different impression
from the one which some of you have
received from other sources. l have
fulfilled my mission" Mr. Mitchell's
speech was roundly applauded, and Col
Lowry. President of one of the ma
tional banks of Atlanta. Ga, made
felicitous speech in response. confirm
ing all that his fellow brother had said
as to the prime cause Of whatever an
tagonism exists between whites and
blacks. Mr.. BigelOw, President Of
the American Bankers Association,
communicated tho negro fin9ncipr TDOn
his speech and assured him that the
association had listened to it with
pleasure.

SUNSHINE.
Republican Newspapers Never Weaker
in Support of Their Ticket.

II any one doubts that Republican
harmony in New York should this veal
be spelled with Il small h. let him
glance over the editorial columns OF
the Republican newspapers of New
York City.
The Sun, while it shines feebly for
Bruce who is running for second place
ON the State ticket, declares in the
most cold-blooded way that Higgins
has neither the character nor the abil-
ity to qualify him for the Governor
ship, but he will serve as we'll as any
one to point the way to overwhelming
and deserved disaster" Just think OF
that for a paper that shines for ALL
The Press throws fra grant bouquets
to Higgins. but says, An otherwise
excellent ticket has probably been dan
gerOusly injured by the nomination of
Bruce for Lieutenant Governor, and
whether Republicans can reconcile
themselves to supporting him in suf-
ficient numbers to elect him will re-
main in doubt" Think of that for q
paper that boasts of its regularity in
swallowing any sort of ticket which
the Republican bosses dare put up.
TO round out this impressive display
of harmony and brotherly love, the Wall
Street Journal. in a double headed ed
itorial. pelts the whole ticket with
brickbats and decayed vegetables. This
able exponent of Republicanism de-
clares in so many words that the Jig
is up. Under the incubus Of Odell and
Odelism," it says. 1.-The Republican
State ticket is doomed to defeat"
The poor old Tribune will evidently
be the sole supporter in New York City
of what the Sun is fond of calling
The Grocery Shop Ticket"
Thinking people are disguised with
the clap-trap about "ROosevelt's Wig
orous and coura geous handling Of the
trusts" If Roosevelt be really the her
cules who is clubbing the life out of
the trusts, why are all the trust mag
mates in favor of his election. and why.
III heavens name, should they be the
chief contributors to his campaign
fund? Mr.. Morgan and his cow0rkers
are not fools.

in biscuit, bread or cake bakery or
confectionery establishment more than
sixty hours in any one week. or more
than ten hours in one day" Before
this law bakers sometimes worked
nearly twenty hours a day. and slept in
the bakeries, with results that can be
imagined.
One of the most important, and per-
haps the most important. of Judge Par
ker'S decisions, was that of the Ma
tiOnal Protective Association of Steam
filters and Helpers ct al. VS.. James NJ.
Cumming. The lower court had given
judgment virtually fOrbidding the
strikers to interfere in any way with
the business of the employer, or to do
any of the things which wOrkingmen
consider they have a right to do in Or
der to make 4 strike effective. Judge
Parker delivered the opinion of the
Court of Appeals. strongly upholding
the rights of wOrkingmen on strike or
about to strike. and laying a solid
foundation for labor to stand on in all
such matters in the future
These are but examples of the atti-
tude of Judge Parker toward labor
from the very beginning of his career.
They show him to be labor'S friend in
a real and practical sense. His decis-
ions speak for themselves. They
breathe that spirit of justice, impartial
ity and fairness which is all that labor
asks for in the advocacy Of its rights,
and they prove Judge Parker to be en-
tirely fearless in his opposition to those
grasping employers who, if they were
not restrained by such decisions as
those of Judge Parker, would seek to
grind the very soul out of the working
man.
With Judge Parker in the White
House American labor would have
there true and tried friend, not one,
like President Roosevelt, who talks
and vapors and then when an issue like
that of the deported union miners in
Colorado is presented to him shirks his
duty for fear of diSpleasing the rich
Republican corporations that own the
mines.
Judge Parker's record as friend of
la Dor speaks for itself.
Every true friend of labor will vote
for Parker.

GREAT DOMINANT ISSUE
Is Cause of the People Against the
Trusts.

W. T. Jenkins. of Baltimore. Presi-
dent Maryland Division Travellers
Protective Association, says: Talk
about leading issues, there is no issue
so dominant to-day among business
men as the antitrust issue. Compare
lively few men meet on the road talk
Imperialism, or any other prominent
question. The all-prevailing topic
with all classes of people is the greed
of the trusts as so forcibly illustrated
in the case of the coal trust and the
beef trust, both of which appeal d.
rectly to every householder. Every
woman who markets and shops appre-
ciates the Importance OF the trust
question. There is none other so vital
or that appeals so directly to the vot-
ing masses. Judge Parker's great de-
cision against the trust railroads in
favor of commercial Travellers deciar-
ing the anti-scalping law uncOnStitu-

WARNING TO HEED.
Rough Rider President Now Speak
ing Soft But Holding Fast to
His BIG Stick

Speaking of Roosevelt's quiescent
state in the campaign, and of his sup
pressed volubility and inaction, the
Houston CTeX.) Post shouts note of
warning when it says:
THE country is not to be deceived.
If Mr.. Roosevelt be elected he will
then have the whip handle and the
party managers and the people will be
the cattle he will drive. We have seen
how he smashed all precedent, rode
down all conservative opposition and
scorned all advice in his first term, de-
spite the fact that he was seeking the
nomination.
"There is no reason to doubt that
with lease of four years in his own
elective right, he will follow his bent
more impulsively and ruthlessly than
he has done for the last three years.
Cali the fire he is now smothering
will break loose then, and woe to the
man, the race, the State, the section
or the nation that brooks his imperious
WILL"

INDEPENDENTS ENTHUSIASTIC
Qualification Over the Strength
of State and National Tickets.

\ surprising and gratifying fact it
is that almost without exceptions the
prominent independents in New York
are quite as enthusiastic over the
nomination of Judge Herrick for Gov
ernOr as over that of Judge Parker for
President John Z. Parsons, Everett
Z. Wheeler. John c. Milburn, Fran
els Lynde Stetson and a host Of others
who have supported the Republican
ticket for some years past have pub
licly expressed their intention to vote
and work for the overthrow of Odell-
ism as we'll as RoOseveltism. The
Democrats of New York, being of like
mind. it is considered a certainty that
the Empire State will give a large ms
iority for both State and National
tickets.

TO Be REDEEMED.
Assuring Outlook For Election Re
suits In Maryland.

The Baltimore Herald, an independ-
ent newspaper of Democratic proclivi-
ties, but which supported the Republi-
can party in 1896 and 1900, has been
investigating the political situation in
Maryland and finds ample ground for
the belief that five Of the six Congress
ional districts will be carried by the
Democrats. The sixth district has a
very large negro vote and will probab-
ly re-elect the Republican incumbent.
The Herald says there is no more
doubt about Maryland as to Presiden-
tial preference than there is as to Vir-
ginia. 1t looks for majority for Par
ker considerably in excess of that CIV
en- for Cleveland in 1892.
Valentine Democrat. (Valentine, Neb.) 1900-1930, 1904-10-13
Like Lodge Also.

There is something in the Roosevelt
letter Of acceptance which, with all
its rough rider attributes, suggests
the rancouS bumptiOusness of Henry
Cabot Lodge. The junior Massac hu.
sets Senator was among the first of
the stand-patters. He had a way of
answering Democratic inquiries in the
Senate with insolent mannerisms with
which he asserted 1--WE shall do what
we please in our own good time" He
took the position that the majority
alone was responsible for legislation,
and interference was braZen imperti-
nence. The letter is almost as like
Lodge as Roosevelt. 1t has the AFRO
gance and contempt of opposition of
both. 1t is easy to surmise collahor-
alton between these two illustriOus
friends.

Stress of the Trusts.

Frank Streat. of Flint. Mich. ex-
President United Commercial Travel
ers, says: There is no class of citizens
hurt more by the trusts than the re-
tail storekeepers. First and foremost.
trusts squeeze wages down to a point
where the customers of these stores
have not the means to purchase any
thing more than bare necessities
of life, and in tens of thousands of
cases not even these. Only the very
cheapest goods are bought. and these
are bought scantily. Children are
scantily clothed. The trusts ere the
hideous offspring of the Republican
party"

Shy of the Subsidies.

Mr.. Fairbanks bemOans the fact that
Americans are compelled to pay $780,,
100000 year to foreign ship owners
for the transportation of American
cargoes. but he seems afraid to come
out fat-footed for subsidies as a rem
edy for the existing evil. Why afraid,
Mr.. Fairbanks? Why balk at propo-
sition which involves no worse rob-
berry of the people than is sanctioned
and carried out under many schedules
of the Dingley tariff?

The Pullman Car Works closed

nearly all the cement mills in Clark

Judge Herrick said in his speech of
acceptance: My election as Governor
will mean the restoration to their ap-
propriate sphere of all the different
powers Of the government, instead of
all being centralized in the hands of
the Executive" And that, too, is what
the election of Judge Parker as Presi-
dent will mean for the Federal Coy
eminent.

gence of his ambition.

CHATS BY THE WAY.

Governor McMillin, Of Tennessee:
My information leads me to believe
that Judge Parker will be elected Pres
1dent Of the United States by good,
safe majority of the Electoral College.
To my mind there is no question as to
how the Empire State will go. 1t
looks to me as if this State was as GER
tain to go Democratic as is Maryland
New Jersey, Connecticut, Illinois and
Indiana are all, so far as I can learn
more than reasonably certain to cast
their votes for Parker and Davis"

To police the world will be rather a
