Washington. ID. C., Sept. Is, 1905.
Special 10 the Caucasian.
Washington has decided 10 give
President Roosevelt a hearty recep-
ton upon his return 10 the White
House about two weeks hence There
will be no attempt at formal display.
all will be a simple national outpour-
ing of the people, who will wave
flags and cheer the President in their
own natural and enthusiastic way
He will be cheered and honored not
because he is President, but Because
he is Theodore Roosevelt.
Isthmian Canal Difficulties.
The enemies of an inter-oceanic ca
nal are powerful and were on the
alert. They succeeded in defeating
the Nicaraguan route with the Panama
route. They do not want any canal,
but they need the latter to heal the
former route, because they believed
the Panama route more expensive and
difficult, if not next to impossible.
But they did not reckon upon such a
man as Roosevelt becoming president
His coinage and determination is
sweeping each day aside the almost
unsurmc Iptable difficulties and ii
seems that he will succeed.
No section of the whole wo-ld is
more interested in this greatest of
human undertakings than are the
Southern States.
Tie same mighty influences thai
oppose the canal ale also onrosing
the president S efforts to have law
passed to regulate railroads. The
whole South should stand sol;dly and
enthusiastically behind the President
i'll both great undertakings.
The Maryland "Nigger in the Wood
Pile
A disgusting "nigger" campaign
is just opening in Maryland. The
Democratic machine of that State has
thrived and held Office since the war,
just as they have done in North Caro-
lima, with the 'nigger' as their
talesman-their rabbit s foot. They
know nothing but to yell "Nigger
Domination for campaign argument,
and then when the election comes,
they count the niger votes for the
Democrats, just as the dishonest ma
chine has done in North Carolina.
The "Nieger" with "a grand faith
er clause" constitutional amendment
added on the democratic slogan for
the present campaign.
New Fuel For the Race Hatred Cam
paign.
The niger domination cry has
about lost its force in Maryland. But
fortunately for the Maryland machine
men Of the Simmons type, new fuel
has been added to their dirty flame.
The other day a negro-a big, black
husky Negro, tit is always one of that
kind) entered a restaurant and kiss
ed white waitress. The Negro says
that he did it for money-that some
one wagered him so much money that
he would not do it, and that he did
it to get the money, but no matter
how or why this occurred, the Demo-
cratic machine has seized upon this
occurrence as the most important ar
gument of the campaign. They real
ly seem jubilant that they have got
ten real live campaign issue.
How jealous this must make Sim
mons and his neighbors.
Mr.. Simmons and his machine
promised the people solemnly that if
they were given the Offices that they
would never cry "nigger" again. But
in the last campaign Mr. Simmons
and his machine men, being incapable
of using any other argument, could
not resist the temptation to follow
their two old habits, first, to break
their promise, and next to cry ''Book-
er Washington.
The people rebuked him by giving
Roosevelt eight thousand majority
more than the rest of the ticket
Mr.. Simmons and Governor Glenn
ought to 60 to Maryland in this cam
paign. It may be their last chance.
But We expect to see the good people
of the State rebuke the machine as
bad as they did Mr.. Simmons in
North Carolina in tine last campaign.
The N. c. Revenue Frauds.
1t is clear that the administration
is after rottenness and corruption
wherever it exists. The dishonest
revenue officials will be given the
full limit of the law. The administra-
ton will purify this service just as it
has purified the frauds in the post
office department. the agricultural de-
pa1tment and in the land Office.
In the great army of employees an
der the government there will always
creep in more or less dishonest men
1t IS to the credit of an administration
that will promptly detect slel per-
sons and drive them from the service
and place them in prison where they
belong. An administration that fails
to do this, is, to say the least. ineom-
petent.
The defrauding of the government
by illicit whiskey distillers can nev-
er be stopped, until every dishonest
revenue officer who winks at and en-
courages such fraud for personal
gain is detected and punished.
