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

II any one doubts that Republican
harmony in New York should this year
be spelled with q 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 well 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 fragrant bouquets
to Higgins, but says, IAN otherwise
excellent ticket has probably been dam
gerously injured by the nomination of
Bruce for Lieutenant-Goyernor and
whether Republicans can reconcile
themselves to supporting him in suf-
ficlent numbers to elect him will re-
main in doubt" Think of that for a
paper that boasts of its regularity in
swallowing any sort of a 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 Republlcanism 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
1.-THE Grocery Shop Ticket"
Thinking people are disguised with
the clap-trap about "Roosevclt's Wig
orous and courageous 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,
in heavens name, should they be the
chief contributors to his campaign
fund? Mr.. Morgan and his co-workers
are not fools.

GREAT DOMINANT ISSUE

imperialism, or any other prominent
question. The a~ll-prevaillng 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 de
rectly to every householder. Every
woman who markets and shops appre-
clates 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, declar-
ing the anti-scalping law unconstitu-

are in a condition to throw off our

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

OF all the speeches made during the
recent session of the American Bank
efs' Association, none has attracted
greater attention than that of Mr.. John
Mitchell, Jr., a negro, a respected cit.
lien and successful bank president, Of
Richmond, Va. He discussed the color
line in the South from n point of view
which gained for him the respect and
hearty applause of the thousand or
more financiers who heard his re-
marks.
The sum and substance of Mr.. Nit
chellS speech was that the industrious
whites and blacks of the South are
friends, and that there would be NJ
such thing as a~serious race question
in the South, but for the good for moth
ing l%oafers, of which he said each
race has its share. at is primarily
the black loafers who cause the trou-
bles which beset our race" said Mr..
Mitchell, ''apd we negroes who are
striving to better our condition and
add to the moral and material welfare
Of our people desplse them as thor
oughly as do the whites" Continuing,
Mr.. Mitchell said: II am n product
Of Southern soil, was educated In
Southern schools, have been a 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

South without the encouragement of

alone negroes are operating banks
having an aggregate capital Of $780,
600 and deposits of 100000. Our Vir-
ginla negroes own property valued at
100000, and the crops raised by
negroes throughout the South have an
average value Of $t72. 000.0 900 a year.
When you hear n reputable Southern
white man denounce the negro, you
may in almost very case be certain
that he means the loafer, not the
worker of Il race.
IN conclusion let me say. that II |
have created a different impression
from the one which some of you have
received from other sources, I 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 a
fclicitous speech in response. confirm
sing 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,
complimented the negro inancier upon
his speech and assured him that the
association had listened TO 1t with
pleasure.

Speaking of ROOsevelt's qulescent
state in the campaign, and of his sup
pressed volubility and inactiOn, the
Houston TEX Post shouts a 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 lie smashed all precedent, rode
down all conservative opposition and
scorned all advice in his first term, de-
spite the fact that he was s~eekingsthe

'There is no reason TO doubt that,

one of the most important, and per-
haps the most important, of Judge Par

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 wOTkingmen
consider they have a right to do in Or
der TO make a strike effective. Judge
Parker delivered the opinion Of the
Court Of Appeals, strongly unfolding
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.

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

A surprising and gratifying fact 1t
is that almost without exceptions the
prominent Independents in New York
are quite as enthusiastic owe the
nomination of Judge Herrick for Gov
ernor as over that of Judge Parker for
President. John Il. Parsons, Everett
z. Wheeler, John G. Milburn, Fran
els Lynde Stetson and q 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-

mind, it is considered a certainly that

Stress of the Trusts.

Frank streat, of Flint, Mich, ex-
President United Commercial Travel

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

cases not even these. Only the very
cheapest goods are bought. and these
