ia an address at the Second Baptist
Church. cOl0red its pastor, Rev W.
Bishop Johnson, last night scored Presi-
dent Roosevelt for his action ia ordering
the dismissal of the three companies Of
the Twenty-fifth Infantry, colored, be-
cause Of the participation Of some of the
members in the riot at Brownsville. Tex.
last August
The War Department malls for the past
three days have been hlled with letters
OF protest from all parts of the country
except the South against the action Of
the President and In response Acting
Secretary Of War Robert Shaw Oliver
yesterday ordered that the report Of Col.
Bixby and Gen. Darlington, who inyesti-
gated the Brownsville riots. be printed
for distribution.
DR.. Johnson. in his address. compared
the action of President Roosevelt with
that of the Atlanta mob. declaring that
in both Instances the guilty and innocent
suffered alike.
MIR. ROosevelts punishment of the
three companies was unfair and unmerci-
ful" he said.
There is no difference between his
treatment Of these soldiers and that Of
the mob who murdered the innocent and
guilty az Atlanta. The AFFAIR at Atlanta
was exactly the affair at the White
House. with some Of the savage ele-
ments eliminated The principle underly-
ing the two occurrences were the same
The innocent had no more chance than
the guilty All We're cut down alike.
The veteran with his breast covered
with medals awarded by the United
States for conspicuous bravery; who knelt
in his tent that night and prayed for the
peace and prosperity Of the nation, and
asked God 10 bless his commander-in-
chief, received as severe a frown ana as
deep a cut as the men who are alleged
10 have been out Of camp sleeping them
selves with liquor and brandishing Te-
volvers.
1T has always been said that il is
better that ten men should escape pun
ishmeut than one innocent should suffer.
Wherever this truth has been observed,
our civilization has 1ourished. but Mr..
Roosevelt has completely ignored this
fact. He has proceeded on the principle
that all We're guilty. and confessed that
he knew SOME were innocent.
Is Not Consistent.
-A.r. Ro2sevelj has no faith himself in
The 'tattling scheme as a way 10 find out
Jhlcgs tHat men regard as more harmful

For instance. when yhe alleged lynchers
came here from Chattanooga men who
were hailed by the highest court in the
land TO answer for murder or compile

open arms by the President in public
reception. and the fact was sem back

1T is unfair because it sets bad

the language of The man VINO has moth

The President knows there is a wide

Speaking on the subject of higher edu-
cation before the Bethel Historical and
Literary Society al the metropolitan
African Methodist Episcopal Church last
night, the Rev. Dr. W r. Thirlield. pres
ident cf Howard University, stated that
he did not believe in the idea Of sending
children 20 school all their lives and
starting them out in the world with their
heads crammed ful of knowledge and
without a trade or vocation with which to
earn their own wav This custom. he
said, was too much in use In all parts Of
the country, and should be- modified.
While the professor advocated moral
training and the higher education Of the
mind and the heart, he also believed that
the education OF the hand was as essential
to life as other things. He believed IN the
dignity of labor and urged that every one
should be self-supporting while living up
to the higher ideals of life. Higher educa-
ton was necessary, he thought. for the
success Of the people
Or. Thirkield favored the manual train
ing system and moral education at the
same time This could be accomplished
by the Introduction OF the Bible IN the
common schools. He referred to public
schools in some parts OF the country
where children are educated without the
name Of God ever being mentioned. He
thought II would be an excellent idea il
The pupils In all schools were taught the
Ten Commandments. Moral courage was
a necessity IN the life of every individual
and he urged every one 10 have plenty OF
courage Il was the weak. timid man
who could not sleep AT night. lie urged
the people 10 lead broad and generous
lives, and complimented the cOIGred peo-
pie on the progress OF their race.
AT the conclusion of Dr. ThirkIeld's
address, Prof William r. Chancellor
superintendent Of the public schools OF
the District made "a short speech.

BartlesviIle, i. r., Jan 90. Orders
have been received by the Standard Oil
company, it was learned yesterday, that
hereafter only third Of the midcon-
tinent fields output would be bought,
owing to the fact that the Standard Oil
company will be prevented from eontinu-

tuted BY Attorney General Hadley Of
Missouri. There is production Of 50,-

the reduction by two-thirds Of the
