FORAKER, THE PRESIDENT
AND THE NEGROES.

President Roosevelt is very fond OF
communicating his ideas and i'm
pressions to Congress, and incident
ally to the people generally, in writ
ing. So flusnt-apssman has he been
indeed that his frequent messages
and communication have become a
Joke, but it cannot be denied that
his response to Senator Foraker
resolution OF inquiry adopted by the
Senate, addressed to him, calling on
him for information as to the Browns
vile incident and his consequent dis
charge OF the negro troops, Is
strong paper, iustifes the attitude
assumed by the President In the mat
ter and is a full, complete and able
response to the inquiry. The Fora
ker resolution was i'll advised TO be-
gin with, first, because it essentially
involves the race issue and makes IT
national, and secondly it would never
have been offered had the dismissed
troops been white men. II they had
been white men it would have been
assumed by such men as Senator
Foraker that careful inquiry had
been made into their conduct and
that the President had acted within
his constitutional right as comman-
der-in-chief OF the U. S. army. There
are some people at the North who
know nothing OF the modern day
negro, who will never learn anything
concerning him, but who, every time
befs involved in any outrage, how
ever disgrsceful, assume that he is
being prosecuted every time he is
called to account. This sort OF spirit
on the part OF prominent white men
is the cause of great deal of miscon-
duct on the part OF the negroes, and
II these champions OF negroes would
cease their misguided efforts in their
behalf there would beless tOcondemn
