THE RODGERS LETTER.

Whoever was guilty of manSling the letter written by President Roosevelt to pr. Rodgers Of Tucson on the subject of joint statehood committed singular act of impropriety The letter should have been given publicity either in full or not at all. If it was a communica- tion from a friend to a friend, as we were informed it was. 1t should have been withheld from the press and the telegraph. If 1t was a letter to Dr. Rodgers as secretary of the joint state hood league 1t was properly public property, but it was due to the public and in a greater measure to the presi- dent that 1t be published in Its exact terms.
 We do not think that pr. Rodgers is to be blamed for the misuse made of the presidents letter, which has been published in all parts of the country.
 We know pr. Rodgers and know him to be a high-minded gentleman with keen sense Of the proprieties. We be- lleve, that leaving out of the case the injustice to the president involved in the mutilation of the letter. Dr. ROdg- CTS would not have consented to this perverted use of 1t for any advantage that he might think would accrue to the cause of jointure.
 We are therefore certain that he will deeply regret the annoyance which must be felt by the president, who is SC sensitive to the effect of garbled in- terviews and misunderstood statements that he has lately denied himself to the press.
 It now devolves upon Dr. Rodgers to give the letter to the public in its en- tirety and to discharge at the same time a duty to himself by placing the blame for the managing of the commu- nication where it belongs.
 The Republican this morning prints the substance of the elided portion of the letter, but Dr. Rodgers can produce the exact language and lend it the au- thorlty of the presidential signature. We believe he will do this and thus re- pair as far as possible the great mis- take which has been made.
 The letter as it was sent out from Tucson conveyed no other impression than that the president. contrary to assurances he had given, was engaging in active proselyting for the jointure cause, when in fact he was doing noth- ing of the kind. The published portion of the letter was only an incidental and unlmportant part. made to appear im- portant by the omission of the really essential section upon which the whole communication hung, the presidents declaration in reply to a representa- tion by pr. Rodgers that whatever his own views on statehood might be. how ever deeply he wished the acceptance of jointure. the federal officials were to be left undisturbed in the right of the exercise Of free speech and legiti- mate action against statehood with New Mexico.

Bennettsvllle, January 25.-Some
time ago two Of the trustees Of

the children of Buck Roller. On the
ground that they were not white,
and were causing disturbances in

this action Of the trustees, and ap-

Mr.. Boucher based his argument
on the following clauses in the state
constitution:
'<Article 3, section 33. The mar
riage Of a white person with a ne
gro or nulatto. or person who shall
have one-eighth or more negro

"Article II, section I. Separate

Mr.. Boucher said that he re-

but the line. was clearly drawn by
the fundamental law Of the land,
and no child which had one-eighth
negro blood should be allowed to
attend a white school.
Judge Townsend argued that the
first provision of the constitution
applied ony to the intern1arrlage OF
the races, and the lines were not so
closely drawn in separating the
schools. He also argued that Roll
er's children were white enough not
to be excluded, even if the inter
marriage provision should apply to
the schools.
After carefully considering the
evidence and the arguments. the
! board of education rendered a de-
cision sustaining the trustees, So
that the children in question are de-
barred from attending the school.

Stone in the bladder is one form OF kidney
trouble-a sign that the kidneys are SO dis
eassd that they are no longer able to remove
ali the uric acid and other poisonous waste
matters out of the blood.
The uric acid accumulates in the bladder
and forms into little humps or stones, which
pass away from time to time in the urine. II
they are at all large they seriously injure the
delicate tissues of the urinary organs, causing
Inflammation, great weakness, and not lntre'
ouently convulsions and death.
When the gravel becomes SO large that it
cannot be passed the uric acid backs up
through the blood, poisons the whole system,
and the sufferer dies in terrible agony.
There is'only one way to prevent uric acid
poison, and this is to dissolve the gravel with
out delay and get it out of the system by tax
ing Warmers Safe Cure, the only medicine
that can be taken with safety.
