This action by the President, pub

We regret that the colored soldiers
got into the trouble at Brownsville.
Texas, but We are glad they stood up
and fought back and defended them
selves. We are glad, also, because
they proved themselves true comrades
by refusing TO expose their fellows and
thus turn them over to the whites Of
Texas TO be lynched. They stood to-
sether as one man, and every Negro
in the land honors them for 1t. And
every true soldier knows that what
they have done is right in the light OF
military ethics.

soldiers TO your country and true SOL

have done, made it possible for Mr..
Roosevelt to be President Of the

discharge by him from the service

The New Game.

Anew months ago the spectators at foot
ball games were bowling for changes in the
rules. They got them. Now, the country
over, coaches and players are growing.
It's pretty earlyto tell just what the new"
game WILDE. At firstit seemed as though
college mean to play basketball
football. another ping pong football and
q third croquet football. Just at present
they all appear to be settling into
something that looks wonderfully like
the old straight game. Will the for
ward pass prove a boomerang? Won't
there be some smashes when tho two
lines of scrimmage, posted a foot apart,
come together from a sprinting start?
At any rate, there In no p~eroeptible fall
ing of in the appetite of the coaches for
beef CooNEY and HERRING are at
the tackles in the Princeton lineup;
FoRBEs and BIGELow al Yale. No puny
youngsters these.
The new ineligibility rule, shutting
out first year men from varsity squads,
should put some cracking" freshman
teams into the field. But even this good
rule may work mischief, because of it's
Uneven application. If our information
is correct, Dartmouth, for. example.
among the big" football colleges, has
not adopted It. The result will be a
iocking Of good preparatory school
material to Hanover, and a rarely fine
squad for the New Hampshire coaches to
work with.
With this mi qualification, the ineli-
gibility rule is perfect. So, without quail
hcation, is the rule keeping the Ave play
ers in the middle Of the line where they
belong. Mass play is done for.
East and West we shall probably see
good, clean American football, with
mass play eliminated and no graft of
~rugger' or soccer"

Triumph of Butin.

That iiIustrious but too silent and
shrinking Bostonian the Hon. JOHN
BUTIN MORAN ia to be the Democratic
candidate for Governor Of Massaehu-
sets. Such is the passion for "regu-
larity" among the Massachusetts, Demo-
Gratis that they are to accept meekly
the nominee Of the Drys and Of Mr..
HEARsT's Boston employees.
The fluid and confused state Of politics,
the disappearance Of the old party metes
and bounds, the passion for the novel
and eccentric, the sense of humOr bub-
bling up under the Puritan ice, and the
general admission, made with a feeling
Of relief, that his Excellency CURTIS
GUILD, Jr., is to succeed himself: all
these things and divers others help to
account for the ~unaccountable MORAN.
Oficially he is a megalomaniacal Paul
Pry. 1t is a popularity that recon-
mends him to the relics Of the Puritan
temperament.

I Joined the Presbyterian Church ! sup
posed les creed to be the simple statement Of
faith to which I then gave my assent. Now
I AVE learned that the Confession Of Faith
which underIies Preebyterisnism contains
doctrines to which ] never gave my assent
and in which ! have not the slightest belief.
7 do not believe hat by the decree OF God
and for the manifestation Of His glory, some
men and angels are fOreordained
to everlasting death: that elect infants,
dying in infancy" have = fate superior to any
other infants; that Christ died only for the
elect and not for all. nor In the majority OF
the doctrines contained in a book but never
preached from the pulpit.

naming in the Church for the sake Of it, social
which are many and very pleas

The Appeal to Common Sense.

No party in this State ever nominated
for Governor a better citizen than
CHARLEs E. HUGHES. In personal worth,
high purpose and devotion to duty he is
the ideal candidate.
No party in this State ever nominated
for Governor a worse citizen than WILL
TAN r. HEARST. He deliberately excites
class hatred. He caters to the cupidity
Of the basest elements in society. He
plays upon ignorance.
HEARsr's one hope Of election lies In
his ability to keep the ranks Of his army
Of ignorance, discomfort and pessimism
closed up and intact until election day
dawns. He cannot add one vote to it by
defamation and demagogy, for the ap-
peal to common sense and fair play is
now TO be made by a mAn who enjoys
universal respect, who has already
struck sturdy blows in the interests Of
the people, and whose character is unss-
sailable. No man of intelligence can
have an doubt Of the result, although
Mr.. HUGHES has only thirty working
days in which to undo the mischief
that has been the work Of years of lying,
scheminG and oorrupting.

at that; he newer Seopa Gt anything
when Il comes to Language. But n the
Colonel be right, and that would al Q
craven image with uncomfortable emo
ton, there IL no South left outside
the city limits Of Atlanta. The horrors
which occurred in that town two weeks
ago could not by any possibility have
occurred In any other Southern COM
munity. In Richmond, Charleston. SA-
vannah, Mobile, Birmingham. Mont
gomery, New Orleans, TO say nothing OF
hundreds OF other Southern eommuni-
ties, there Is neither the sentiment nor
the material for so detestable q tragedy.
Even in the darkest days Of -the recon-
%struction period the Southern whites
v wreaked their indignation at large.
And now We do not believe that the
Atlanta horror a justly be ascribed to
Southern sentiment in any truthful way.
Atlanta 10 commonly referred to at
the South, even in Georgia, 10 "A Yankee
town" 1t 10 noisy, bumptious, aggres-
sive and somewhat i'll hammered. We
do not think that the South should be
held accountable for Atlanta.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1906-09-29
Is Atlanta a Southern Town?

Has il ever occurred, we wonder, to
those who are abusing the South because
of the Atlanta riots that Atlanta is not
really a typical Southern city? Appar-
entity not. Yet, looking back oyer the
record Of the past forty years we cannot
find in any popular ebullition beyond
the Potomac and the Ohio a single Incl
dent that resembles at any point the
abOminable violence which character
lied the barbarous demonstrations in
Georgia's capital two weeks or so ago.
Heretofore throughout the South the
mobs have cOntented themselves with
furnishing in their own way-aiways
more or less deplorable-the .indiyidual
offender. There have been few instances
Of race hatred or race antagonism.
seldom have the lynchers exhibited
the smallest tendency to wreak their
vengeance on the negro as such. In
famed by the commission Of a heinous
and uncomfortable crime, they have
usually addressed themselves to the
capture and extinction Of the criminal.
They have seldom gone further, seldom
visited violence upon the innocent or the
unsupported. It is a fact Of record, in
deed, that colored men have frequently
cooperated with the whites in particu-
larly diabOlcal cases and proved their
disposition to aid in the defence of society
against its enemies. In Ohio, Illinois,
Kansas and other Northern States it has
been the almost invariable custom to
make a race issue of every crime COM
mitted by negroes. In such cases the
savage enormitiss of the Atlanta mob
were outlined and suggested. Negroes
wcro attacked, murdered or manned
without question or discrimination. Ne
gro settlements were wrecked and burned
as a matter of course. But no such in
sane and cruel barbarism has hitherto
been p~ractised at the South. II was
reserved to Atlanta 10 initiate the mas
sacres OF which Columbus, Springfield,
&c. had furnished the example. And this
brings US back to the question whether
Atlanta is a typical Southern city.
Mr.. JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES, who SON
ducts in Atlanta a melodeon which he is
pleased to call a newspaper, has had a
great deal to say about the incident. He

To THE EDITOR OF TIE sUH--Sv: The
result Of an election depends entirely on the
silent vote. This was evident In the election
OF Mr.. Van Wyck a. Mayor. when every
newspaper in the city. with one small and
insignificant exception. supported Mr.. Low
and opposed Mr.. Van Wyck. This. was evil
dent in Brooklyn last year. when Mr.. Hearst,
contrary to all expectations. rolled up an
enormous vote. IL will. I venture to say.
be evident in the coming struggle between
Mr.. hughes and Mr.. Hearst. Consequently
those who believe that the election OF Hearst,
the coadjutor OF Murphy. will be a great
calamity. should take some steps to canvass
and instruct the silent voter.
Something must he Home to educate the
man in the str et and the silent voter in the
home. MIR. Jerome with his singular gift
for Addr essinR popular audiences will do
much to pierce the bubble. but some very
distinct and methodical effort should be
made to place MIR. Hughes before the people
Of the State as q man who stands for the
purity OF politics. DEMOCRAT.
