MORE TROuBLE ron RoosEvELr.


| Although Andrew Jackson is not to
figure in the coming election it seems
that two descendants of his slaves have
a good chance of doing so. The white
! postmaster of 1.-The Hermitage" jack
| sons old home near Nashville, Tenn,
| died recently and left the office in
| charge of his family. The negroes
were quick to see their opportunity
! and are now circulating a petition ask
| ing for the appointment to the vacancy
of one of the two colored voters of the
precinct.
This action has placed a new problem
| before Mr.. Bristow, the fourth assist
ant postmaster general, and incident
ally appears to be causing considerable
worry to the Republican managers and
to the President. If the problem is
| solved before the election it promises
to give rise to complications of ma
| ture somewhat serious to the party in
power.
If Mr.. Roosevelt continues his policy
of negro appointments in the South the
request of the petitioners will probably
be granted. While the effect in Ten
as far as the general result of the
election is concerned. in certain North
ern states such might not be the case.
Such an appointment would undoubt-
eddy attract renewed attention to the
Presidents negro policy and thus in
L. -
campaign managers to force this ques-
ton into the background in Indiana,
Illinois and West Virginia.
During the past eighteen months
these three states have been the seats
of racial troubles. Considerable feel
ing seems to have been aroused
against the blacks and the danger of
having negroes foisted upon them by
the President is almost certain to
make many Democratic votes in those
sections. Hence the efforts of the Re
publicans to keep this embarrassing
race problem in the background.
On the other hand, if Mr.. Roosevelt
doesn't make the appointments, he
stands in danger of loosing a big per-
centage of the negro vote of the North.
The doubtful states have a large col
ored population and the loss of a con-
siderable part of this vote might easily
prove disastrous to him.
Then again many of the people of the
North who make public sentiment in
that section haven't relished the
Rooseveltian attitude toward the black
man, as indicated by their comment
at the time of the Crum appointment
and the Booker Washington incident.
They have continued to support Mr..
Roosevelt. however, apparently be-
cause he seemed only to be carrying
out his convictions, and they admired
his courage. If he refuses to make
this appointment, however, he will APP
pear to lay himself open to charge
of inconsistency and of catering to the
negro vote. Thus he runs the risk of
losing many white votes in the North
and East. Altogether the situation is
one which seems far from comforting
to the Republicans.

The foremost and possibly the
first, of newspaper paragraphists was
George d. Prentice. editor of the
Louisville Journal, now the Courier
Journal, says the New York Press.
His political ability,wit and satire were
unequale. Whenever Henry Watterson
has something extraordinary bright
in his paper you may safely wager
your salvation that the relict of the
Star-eyed Goddess of Reform has been
glancing through "Prenticeana," or the
files of the Journal Prentice could
write a score of fifty bright, scintillat-
ing, cutting, biting, singing para
graphs one after the other on the
same subject and never repeat an idea.
Prentice dictated his editorials while
shutting over the floor in his slipshod
way calling out the punctuation marks
as he went along. There We're no heads
on his articles. All began with the
familiar typographical fist, the index
finger pointing to the first line. Here
is an editorial on George Francis
Train, as dictated:

CHANGING SENTIMENT.


The New York Tribune published a
lengthy article few days ago on the
effort of New York negroes to force
themselves into the better residence
sections of that city. The method en-
ployed is the organization of a strongly
capitalized realty company to take out
long-term leases of desirable proper
ties and sub-let them to negroes at the
lowest rents possible.
This movement has served to bring
the race question home to the property
holding class in New York. White ten
ants declined to live in the same neigh
borhood as the negroes and property
values at once began falling off de-
cidedly. Naturally this touching of
the pocketbooks isn't relished, and the
white landlords have started a move
ment to force the blacks into the less
desirable districts for homes. Thus
two ter-currents have been set in
motion. and the result of their contact
promises to be highly beneficial in
several ways.
Heretofore the vast majority of New
York property-holders have known of
the negro only as they read of him or
occasionally saw him at his work. Of
course they knew there were colored
residents in the city, but they seemed
practically as far off as though they
lived in some distant Southern state.
The obvious result of this lack of true
knowledge of the real negro was that
Northern sentiment was strongly pro-
negro and the Southern white man was
being constantly censured.
With the blacks as next door neigh
bors, however, there appears to be a
rapid change in sentiment taking place.
New Workers of the better class are
seemingly learning from actual expert
ence that there is an eternal barrier
between the white man and the black
and they are vigorously resisting this
latest move of the latter to show that
he considers himself their equal. Prop
erty-holders are in a great measure
the shapers of public opinion and sem
timent. and it may reasonably be ex-
pected that the time is not far distant
when the North will recognize the
truth of what the Southerner has been
claiming for years.
The effect Of this New York clash on
the negro will undoubtedly be for the
best. lie will be forced to see that he
must occupy a secondary place IL he is
to succeed and that dreams of equality
must be abandoned. lie will gradually
also come to recognize. as many of his
race now do. that the Southern white
man is his best friend. and that With
out him he can make no great ad-
vances.
Taken altogether the general result
of this latest negro movement will be
beneficial. II will tend TO draw North
and South together in sentiment on
the race question by swinging the
Sortherner around to our way Of look
ing at il.
