NEGROES AND THE STRIKE.

Strike sympathizers can stand back
in the crowds Of spectators and hurl
bricks and insults at the strike break
ers-White Or cOlOred-WhO are at
tending strictly to business. But II
the drivers thus attacked attempted to
protect themselves, the chances are
that the policemen would arrest them
rather than the persons who were
guilty of the disorder-unless, per-
haps, the lives or heads OF the police
men themselves were in danger, in
which case the arrested lawbreaker
would be allowed by some justice to
get off with fine OF 81, when it
should have been a fine Of $50 or
500. and from ten to thirty days in
jail The order to arrest all violatOrs
OF the law seems to have string to it.
If the city officials had put their feet
on the violence at the outset they
could have stamped it out.
am persuaded that the colored
strike breakers have been very I'M
Justly treated. For instance, when
the police searched the strike break
ers for weapons they would fail to
disarm the union pickets. When the
police came to the rescue Of an at
tackled Negro they would generally
succeed in arresting the colored man,
but not his assailants. Students and
citizens have been attacked for moth
ing else than because they were Ne
groes, despite the fact that they had
nothing whatever to do with the
strike
William O'Day, a colored union
teamster, was attacked by Albert En-
ders, a union hanger-on. The colored
man shot his assailant, fatally. The
employers should see that he is given
a just trial.
The other evening colored labor
ing man was riding home from his
regular work on 26th street car.
When near Stewart avenue the con-
ductor pointed out this man to two
union pickets. They at once attempt
ed to get at him and had not the col
ored man been prepared for such at
tacks they might have done him great
injury before policeman appeared. :
Can any one blame the colored men
for defending themselves? The Ne
groes have a better right to work here
than so many foreigners who are gull
ty of all manner of crimes. Worst OF
all, many of the foreigners are an
archists and plotters against the gov
eminent of the country. The Negroes

Los Angeles herald., 1905-07-30

Unannounced vir'tors are not, of
course, admitted to the president S
home, and appointments must be made
through his secretary in the village.
That is about the only rule at Saga
more Hill, except one that expresses
Mr.. Roosevelt's strong personal feel
ings on the subject. Automobiles are
not allowed to climb Sycamore Hill and
must be left below. The president is a
constant ultra-partial friend of the
horse, and keeps his mechanical substi-
tute as far from him as possible. He
has ridden in an automobile but twice
in his life. The other Roosevelts in
Oyster Bay are also strong anti-auto-
mobillsts. The automobile rule will
probably continue to exiss at Sycamore
long after Mr.. Roosevelt ceases to be
president, for 1t is the one subject upon
which he will not listen to compromise.
1t must be an immense relief to the
red tape bound foreign diplomat to
come to oyster Bay. where he is re-
ceived just like any other personal
friend OF an American country gentle-
man. Mr.. Roosevelt sends Julius with
the stiff backed wagon to the station
for him and drives him through the
village by the one room 'Hotel de
Ville," or Town Hall, and executive
office over the grocery around the
lovely shore road OF the bay to Saga
more Hill. In his three mile drive the
foreign visitor will not see uniform
OF any kind unless one ring circus
or an "Uncle Toms Cabin" company
happens to be in town.
In the comfortable, unpretentious
house which Mr.. Roosevelt built twenty
years ago he will receive a hearty
family welcome that takes him into
an entirely different world from that
in which diplomacy has heretofore IedI
him. And there is no more delightful
Los Angeles herald., 1905-07-30

of state than among the neighbors and
friends of his childhood at Oyster Bay.
What glimpse into real America a
visit to the somnolent summer capital
must give foreign statesman!
Members of the presidents own FAM
lily are not exempt from the automobile
law of Sycamore Hill.
One night last year Miss Alice Roose-
velt was driven home from a visit in
the neighborhood in an automobile. AT
the entrance to the grounds command
to halt was given. When the chauffeur
kept on the automobile found a secret
service man with drawn revolver in
front of him.
emo automobiles admitted" said the
guard.
"But we are bringing Miss Roosevelt
home" was the reply.
emo one is allowed to break this rule"
answered the secret service man.
Miss Roosevelt was obliged to climb
the hill on foot. 1t is said that she
complained bitterly to her father. but
the president upheld the guardian OF
Sycamore Hill. The same man Is on
duty this year,
Los Angeles herald., 1905-07-30

there are no crowding, sightseeing
worshipers. He sits in the rear of the
church this year and slips out with
Mrs. Roosevelt and the children at
the end of the service without exciting
the least attention. There is no at
tempt to secure seats in pews near
him.
No one thinks of inaugurating the
terrible after church handshaking GUS
tom except old "Uncle" Amos, the
stage driver, who used to give the
president many lift when he was a
kid" Uncle Amos is a privileged
character, exempt from rules laid down
by the secret service men. The latter
accompany Mr.. Roosevelt to church,
but their duties are never more ardu-
Gus than opening the carriage door or
helping the president on with his
macintosh.
During the last spring Mr.. Roosevelt
added a wing to his house in the shape
of one big room, which should be OF
great use in entertaining guests. 1t

as reception room and as a banquet
hall when needed. The present dining
room at Sycamore Hill can seat but a
few additions to his family.
1t is In this room, probably, that the
president viii receive the Japanese and
Russian plenipotentiaries next month.
Mr. Roosevelt loves Oyster Bay partly
because It is associated with his boy
hood. Even its new dignity as the
temporary seat of government has not
changed 1t pereeptibly since the days
when Uncle" Amos drove his stage
coach. There Is probably no spot IN
the world where Mr.. Roosevelt could
be freer from the outward traDpings

secretary's room contrast glaringly
with the cobalt blue window shades
suggestive of lodge room. No avn
ings protect the offices from the glare
of the sun on the southern wall.
Mr.. Roosevelt's private stenographer
has room to himself. two rooms are
occupied by stenographers and tele-
graph operators and one by the secret
service men. The remaining room, the
reception room, is bare save for three
kitchen chairs.
Simplicity Of National Capital
In these cramped, forbidding-they
might almost be called poverty
stricken-quarters the government Of
the United States centers in the sum-
mer months. The president either
transacts his business by telephone or
sends for his private secretary to come
to Sycamore Hill. The president has
never been in the offices, though many
a distinguished visitor has wandered
through them in amazement.
In the private secretary's room there
Is solitary book shelf, supporting the
complete works Of Theodore Roosevelt,
the ,Almanach de Gotha and the United
States Register. The only picture in
the Whole fat is a campaign Autograph
OF the president pasted over the en-
trance.
1t is remarkable what little change in
the life Of the village is caused by the
presence OF the president. Three or
four stenographers, half a dozen secret
service men, in charge of Frank Tyree.
and an equal number of mild. obedient
men are the only additions
to the population.
1t is small wonder that Mr. Roosevelt
enjoys his retreat He Is ON neighbor-
" terms Of intimacy with most OF the
residents and the summer hotel does
not exist. When he goes to church

kindly host than the presi-

considerate, kindly host than the presi-
dent.
In this home, which seems devoted
exclusively to the family, where the
children have full swing, the president
does an immense amount of the ma
tions work His private secretary,
who makes his headquarters in the exc
cutive offices in the village, is little
more than figurehead to see that
orders are carried out and to give out,
supposedly with impartiality, the an
nouncements that the president gives
to the press. Mr.. Roosevelt keeps in
touch with smallest details and passes
upon everything himself. He relies
far less on the judgment Of his secre-
tary than did any of his immediate
predecessors.
The executive office over the grocery
and vegetable stand at the corner of
the villages two main streets Is the
wonder of every one who comes to
Oyster Bay. The picture above shows
the building decorated in honor Of the
presidents arrival at the end Of last
month.
The fiat on the second floor becomes
the summer white House executive
department the moment the president
sets foot in oyster Bay.
The interior arrangements remind
you Of Harlem nat designed by
stingy landlord. You couldn't swing
a cat in any one OF the six boxlike
rooms. The furniture suggests that the
owner Is using makeshifts until his
things arrive. With the exception of
his secretary desk ana chair, it consists
OF common kitchen tables and chairs.
The walls are unpapered, the floors un-
and unstained.

mands the worlds respect, spends his
official summer in Queen Anne cot
tage that might belong to any man of
moderate means and good taste, with
out brass button in sight and abso-
lutely nothing to distinguish outwardly
his residence from his neighbors'.
1t is true that congress since the
assassination of President Mckinley
has insisted on guarding the person of
the president with an "unshakable"
staff of secret service men. But a
stranger might never know this. Any
one can drive up the private road to
Sycamore Hill and pass within ten
yards Of the front of the house. A
quiet young man, in an outing suit,
has looked you over before you started
up the hill, but you don't connect him
with anything official.
Two men in citizens clothes are on

armed force that protects the ''sum-

able work In keeping harmless cranks
from annoying the president and his
family. They are always ready for
more serious work If the occasion
should arise. but Oyster Bay Is WON
derfully free from crazed office seekers
and the riffraff that is drawn to the
White House.
Every train is watched, and no one
can land from the harbor without pass

Every man who feels aggrieved
ut the re-assessment has right to
30 before the county court and set
forth his complaint. None have de-
nicd him that privilege. But be-
cause he does so, is no good reasan
that his. assessment should be reduc-
cd. The object of the law and the
court is to see that there is equality,
and until the court has passed on
fhe matters, no man has honestly
my right to say that she court will
not do the right thing. What
seems to hurt some, especially the
Democratic tricksters, who have
been numbered among the moss
backs for years, is that they may be
compelled to pay their just proper
ton of the taxes And then some
thing is said about spending the
peoples money without making any
record Of it, but that was before the
Republican party got into power in
this county. Certainly those who
are familiar with that period will
agree to this and are in position to
emphasize it. That sort of thing
extended even to the state admins
tration, when Democracy was in
power 1t is not such ancient his
tory that records the fact that some
of he Democratic leaders would
have gone to the penitentiary, if
they had had their just deserts, and
only saved themselves, when they
were forced 10 pay back into the
public treasury at least a part OF
what they had flched it of. And to
think now after, that record they
should have the gall to talk about
loot. But then there are some SO
void of principle and the truth,
nothing else is to be expected Of
them.

Our good old friend, Lamar G.
Powell, has sold his interest in the
Fairmont West virginian and quit
The business Of editing a newspaper.
Editor Powell has been in the
printing business forty years
straight running and with the West
.yirginian tlirty-one years. He
hqs closely applied himself and has
slung a gigorous pen with plenty Of
ink splashing around, and quite Of
ten has he plunged it to the discom-
future Of opponents and those who
have differed from him, but in turn
they have done that to him, though
he may not have acknowledged it.
He ever had the pugnacity 70 hit
back good and hard. His newspa-
per career has been one Of thrill and
excitement both for himself and
those from whom he differed, and So
interesting has he been the past few
years that there is general regret
among the members Of the fraternity
at his retirement, but he deserves II
and none envy him the privilege
that many OF us have not.
