OyERsTEPPED THE MARK

President Roosevelt has been more
or less admired by the American
people for the manner in which he
overrides apparently insurmountable
obstacles and smashes presidents to
accomplish his work, and this char
acteristic is undoubtable accounta-
BILE for much OF hispopularity. There
is point in this manner OF doing
things, however, at which the Amer
ican people will call halt, and we
are inclined to think, from the result
OF the recent election, especially
in New York, that Mr.. Roosevelt
overstepped the mark when he as
sumed that bis personal wishes
should control the result OF the cleo
ton anywhere. Secretary OF State
Roots speech, delivered in New York
Just prior to the election, and by
authority Of the President, as Mr..
Root alleged, apparently had no effect
upon the Democratic ticket whatever,
and II the ticket had been led by any
real Democrat OF ability, all the
members of the Presidents cabinet
speaking by his authority could not
have stemmed the tide. On the con-
trary there is much in the New York
returns to indicate that Mr.. ROose-
velt's interference was resented.

Last Years MayoraIty Contest.
New York, Nov. 12.-Twelve jurors
and justice Of the supreme court may

OF the thousands of ballots voted last
fall In every election district of New
York for the office of mayor.
Provided William II. Jackson. attor-
ney general elect, reverses the decision

decides that William r. Hearst has
established a prima facie case. quo
warrantO proceedings will be institut-
ed. and every ballot east i'm last years

and jury.
That William II. Hearst intends to
force this issue and TO renew his fight
for n recanvass of the ballots is the
emphatic assertion made by Max f.
lhmsen. his campaign manager, and by
Clarence J. Shearn, his attorney
That this matter was the subject Of
lengthy conference at Mr.. Hearst's
home between Attorney General Elect
Jackson, Mr. Shearn and Mr.. Hearst
is also believed to be the case.
Even though Mr. Hearst should not
desire to test his claims. yet the new
attorney general can, under the code of
civil procedure. commence quo war
ranto proceedings ON his own initia-
tive. He could do this even though Mr.
Hearst should object to 1t.

DIVORCE
ATTACKED IN NEW YORK

4 telegram from New York states that
a novel phase of the HaddOck decision
rendered by the L. 5. supreme court,
making divorce granted nforeign States
illegal if attacked, when only one party
is a resident of that State, was presented
when T. '. Ransom brought an action
for divorce against Mrs. Eva b. Hill
Ransom.
Five years ago Mrs. Ransom obtained
a divorce in Virginia. and is now the
wife OF George l.. Browning, lawyer,
OF Madison. Ransom names Browning
as correspondent.
Lawyer Garfield, for Mrs. Browning.
declared that the grounds upon which
the divorce was granted are the statu-
tory grounds of New York and that for
that reason the divorce should hold

Mrs. Browning has two children by
her first husband She married her
present husband in February. Upon
learning OF the second marriage Ransom
instituted his suit.
The statue of limitations would make
IL impossible for Mrs Browning TO sue
on the old charges, rs five years have
elapsed.
The motion of Lawyer Garfield was
believed to be for the purpose oibringing
the testimony in the Virginia hearing
before the supreme court in New York.

show whether the wife was justified in
leaving the husband, and therefore

THE CENSUS.

Under an act Of the Legislature we
can take a census OF our city, which
is official so far as the State is con-
cerned, that is where population is
required for any specified or specific
purpose. Within the State this cen
sus is recognized as official, and we
think for many reasons this census
should be taken. No one who has
eyes to see is not convinced that our
population is much more than the
United States census gives US. We,
therefore, think it would be well for
the Council to look into this matter.

IMMIGRATION-WHITE AND
COLORED.

TIL Richmond Times-Dispatch OF
Nov. 10th says:
Governor-elect Hoke Smith, of Georgia,
thinks that white immigration from
Furope to the South would be an impor-
tant means Of improving the race condi-
tons.
n a steady stream OF high-class immi-
grants could be turned into Georgia, he
saws. Il would force greater or less
negro emigration out of the State, aud
wider distribution of the negro in the
United States is thought by him TO be
desirable: .
"In those sections OF this State and OF
other Southern States where the whites
largely predOminate, the negroes are
more progressive and industrious and
make better citizens than they do in sec
tions where the negroes are In the ma
iority. It-wOuld help solve the negro
problem TO distribute the negro through
ont the country, lessening his relative
proportion in each locality to tue num-
Der OF whites there.
The Springfield Republican, which has a
very tender regard for the negro in the
South, commends this saying OF Mr..
Smiths and thinks that there is much
reason in il. This much at least is sure.
IL the negro populations can be distributed
throughout the whole country, 80 as to
give TO each and every State its fair pro-
portion OF the black race, the negro
problem will then become anational and
not a sectional problem. The South Is
quite willing that other sections shall
have their lust proportion of negroes il
other sections can induce them to emf
CRATE from the South and settle in the
North and West There is one Northern
man, at any rate, who has shown dis
position to do his part in removing the
negro from the South to the North. and
allNortherDers who are like minded may,
II they choose, follow his example with
the full consent OF the South. We refer
to the Massachusetts, gent who came
down to Danville, Va, captured a negro
woman, OF whose charms he had become
eaamored, and took her home To become
his wife. This Incident may afford our
Springfield contemporary a text Tor
further observations on the negro prob
lem.
ID might be added to the above
that it could possibly be arranged
for Boston to assimilate the cOlored
female population Of the South, in
the manner suggested by the ex-
ample OF the Massachusetts, gent,
while Chicago might be induced to
assimilate the male colored popula-
ton. since in the recent election there
the people OF that city have shown
their affection for the colored brother
generally by electing one OF the race
as Judge of one the city courts.

Outside OF New York it is alleged
thateverywhere the President sought
70 inject his personality his party
met rebuff. The assumption that
the President was using his son-in-

alleged to have been the cause OF sew
eral Republican defeats. Mr.. Long
worth spoke in the Sixth Ohio dis
