For him to sit down

He claims. every fight!
My ma says she thinks 1t

Should set an example

But ma IS a girl. and
She can't understand
Them fights that pa had were
So noble and grand.

ROOSEVELT DENOUNCEs LYNcHlNG.
President and Arkansas Governor Diffc,
About Race Problem.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Oct. 25.-The
visit of President Roosevelt to this
city was marked by Q sharp clash be-
tween the president and Governor
Davis on lynch law, the refusal of
Governor Davis to sit at the Chamber
of Commerce luncheon because of the
presence of General Powell Clayton,
former minister Of Mexico, and the
collapse of a big grand stand just as
the president finished his address.
The grand stand fell Just as q great
a of applause swept over the
crowd, when President Roosevelt, in
the most certain terms, denounced the
lynch law which Governor Davis, in
preceding the president, had attempt.
ed to defend. Fortunately no one was
killed or seriously hurt in the acct.
dent.
The president was mel at Fort Roote
by Governor Davis, Senat Clark
and a guard of thirteen confederate
and thirteen union soldiers, General
Dan Jones commanding the confed.
crates, and Colonel A. S. Fowler the
union veterans. Colonel Fowler rode
forward to the president and said:
1.-THE blue and the gray salute YOU"
The president shook the hand of each
member of the guard. He reviewed
the regular troops and then proceeded
to the city.
Governor Davis, in his address of
welcome, praised the state, commended
President Roosevelt and the nation
and then launched into a fierce de.
tense of the lynch law. His remarks
were received u%nfavorably. One gen.
tleman on the stand said: 1--WE don't
stand for him here" Referring to the
race problem, to which Governor Da.
Wis had alluded, the president said:
The worst enemy of the negro race
Is the negro criminal, and above all,
the criminal of the hideous type so
often hideously avenged. Every repu-
table colored nan owes the duty to
himself and to his ace to hunt down
that criminal. Now, as to the white
mans side:
ITO avenge one hideous crime by
another is to reduce the avenger to
the bestial level. Another thing which
makes this lynch law so abhorrent is
that three.fourths of the crimes for
which it Is invoked are for others than
that against the woman of the ceun.
try. Governor, you and I, and all
others, owe it to our people to drive
out the reproach and the menace Of
lynch law in the United States"
