POLICING OF THE FRONTIER

Washington, Jan. 11--Secretary Root has heard much recently from the rep resentatives in Washington of the pow- CTS intending to take part in the Nor ocean conference respecting the objects of the conference.
 It appears up to the moment that as far as the official records show there has been no difference of opinion be- tween the powers as to these subjects. Each and all freely subscribe to the doctrine of the open door and equal trade privileges for all
 It has not even developed that the question of police on the Moroccan frontier has caused any difference of opinion. It is fully expected. however, that, as the conference proceeds, such differences will develop from time to time

METHODS or RAILROADS.
Peculiar Charge Brought By Wholesale
 Lumber Dealers.

Washington Jan. 11.-A hearing of importance to tic lsmDer interests of the country was had today before the interstate commerce commission. in connection with the complaint of the national wholesale dealers association against tn ePennslyvania Railroad and allied lines and the Atlantic Coast Line and connecting roads.
 The complaint alleged that the rail roads compelled the lumber men to pay for eauipplng flat ears carrying lum- Der with the necessary stakes, ties. etc, to keep the lumber in place and in ad- dition. charged freight on the same to inc amount of five hundred pounds, all of which the shippers contend. how ever, constituted an unreasonable rate.
 Before the discussion opened. how ever, it was stated to the commission that the Southern roads. since the fil- tro of the petition had reduced their charges by 800 pounds per car. so us to allow for freight on the stakes.

wnl Not Hamper Bell.

Philadelphia, Jam 11.-At a meeting held today by the University commit tee on athletics of the University of Pennsylvania 1t was decided not to hamper John c. Bell, the university representative on the football rules committee, with instructions in anal gamation of the old committee with the rules committee appointed by the national Intercollegiate football confer enee, although it was tho sense of the university that it's delegate should fav- or the newly organized body.
 The university committee on athlet- ics believe that the actual playing rules may be safely left to any com mittees but they are further strongly of the opinion that the larger ques- tions of the general ethics of the sport what constitutes undergraduate eiigi- bility and the athletic relations of edu- cational institutions to one another "are the proper subjects for consider alton at this time by faculty com mittees; they are of far more impor- tance than the alteration of playing rules and are questions that in their present unsatisfactory condition are the greatest menace to the game"
 The university committee surprised the student body by refusing to sanc- ton the election of Vincent M Steven son of Lexington, Ky. as captain of the football squad for next season. Edwin L. Green of New Haven will probably be elected to the post. The committee gave no reason for It's re- fIsal to accept Stevenson.

President Eliot Thinks Football Ca
 not he Ref0ruaed.


 Cambridge. Mass, Jan. f1.--President Eliot of Harvard University says of the measures suggested by the gradu- ates committee of Harvard for improv- ing football:
 The suggestions of the graduates committee are entirely inadequate. The rules are hopeless"
 It was learned today that at yester- days secret meeting of the Harvard overseers statement from President Eliot on the question of football was read and considered. In it President Eliot scored the conditions under which the game is played, especially with reference to the rules, the tre- mendous expenditure of money and the absolutely professional spirit and man. agement."
 It is understood the overseers fav- ored so thorough a change in the rules as to abolish practically all of the worst features of the game. The over seers also favored more general par ticipation of the student body in ath- letics at Harvard.

The Richmond, Va, Times-Dispatch

ance, but We wish he would suppress
himself. He is getting a good bit of
free advertising that helps his lecture

spectacle of himself prancing up and
down the country, abusing the Ne

and thieves, and declaring that lynch
law is all we have left" In strutting
and mounting in this silly and disgust
ing way, he certainly does not repre-

South, and they are growing very tired
of his antics. No possible good to

he does not stop advertising himself
in this way, the public will conclude
that he is doing it for revenue only.
We do not see that there should be

the black man instead of the white
man that caused 1t. It's Just such
Blatant mouth Southern firebrands as
/ Tillman that are retarding the growth
of the South, and 1t will continue to
be the cows tail section of The United
States until there are no more Till
mans and Vardamans to disgrace her
in the North. Had such criminals as
Tillman and vardaman spent as much
time In teaching the Negro how to be
men instead of solutions they perhaps
would feel a great deal different to-
ward the black man than they do.
With the clansman being driven from
the playhouse Of the North and Till
nIanism driven from the lecture fields,
or, when presented, done so at the
peril of the actors or the speakers, 1t
tegins to look as IL protesting on the
part of the Negro in the North
amounts to something after all. Slow
ly that protest spirit is going to travel
South, and the day Is not far dis
tant when a strong protest from the
combined Negro population of even
community in the heart of the South
will be heard or blue and black blood
will flow In copious quantities. The
Negro has prayed for relief ever since
he was emancipated and yet his con-
dition has grown worse from year to
year. He is now waking up and is say
ing: What's the use. It's death II
you live and death IL you die, so why
not sell but as dearly as possible
that is to say, when you start over
the dark waters by criminal violence
take all the company you can with
you. The Lord still lives. but the
man who sits down and waits for the
Lord to fight his battles here on earth
will find himself weighed in a bal
ance and found wanting. But, after
all, the Hospital Association seemed
about as anxious to have Tillmanism
talk as did he himself, for 1t was Of
fered $1,000 cash by prominent Ne

tive in having Tillman there aside

TILLMAN AND SOUTH CAROLINA.

Tillman, the lecturer, does not seem
to be Endorsed by the leading journals
of his own state. The Charleston
New and Courier asks: why do the
northern people invite him? Is it
because they want to hear him or be-
cause they want to embarrass the
south?" And the Columbia State says:
The north unfortunately insists
upon taking the Tlllmans and Varda-
mans seriously-which is more than
is done for them in their own land"

marks, when their own land makes

riIIman Spoke in Chicago.

tbiudh SpoNe ~ OntCd9os
In the face of a determined opposi-
ton, Senator B. r. Tillman spoke in
Chicago Tuesday evening, Nov. 9th
and confined himself to the discus
sion Of the Race Question" Of this
country. Lest serious trouble be pre-
ciptated, Mayor Dunno ordered some
forty or more plain clothes policemen
to guard him while in the city, and
every reserve in the city was about
the hall where he spoke. Even TIL
man, with all Of his bragadocio superb
ority, must have keenly felt the cool
and unfriendly reception he received
at Chicago. Mayor Dunno, himself a
Democrat, refused to preside at the
meeting ON account Of not caring 70

The broad ax. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1895-19??, 1906-12-22
Senator TiIIman's offense.

Whatever may be thought of Sena-
tor Tillman's motives, there - can
hardly be difference as to the fact that
the spirit in which he discusses the
race issue, his speech at Chicago be-
ing characteristic, is a grave hind
rance to any useful solution. 1t
breathes defiance, bitterness, intoler-
ance, and in every syllable exas-
perates the baser PASSIONS which at
best are hard to deal with on such
question. Mutual animosities are the
very essence of the race issue, but
Senator Tillman, instead of striving to
allay and remove them, seems to
strain ali his energies to inflame them.
This incompatible and arrogant at
titude On the part of a southern man
Of undoubted ability and influence is
in every way to be regretted at this
time, when there are many ominous
signs of increasingly critical strain be-
tween the races in those extensive
sections where they are in closest con-
tact While it exasperates northern
sensibilities and indeed seems as IL
expressly designed by the Senator to
have that effect, even more harmful
consequences fall upon the south, null
tiplying the discouraging difficulties
with which the progressive and earn
est minds of both races there are
bravely and conseientiously strugg-
ling.
The fact that We cannot get away
from is that the two races are here,
mainly massed in a half dozen south
ern states, and here they will remain.
1t is not a question whether they
shall live together, for that is settled
beyond the power of recall, but of
how they shall live together, whether
peaceably. tolerantly, even helpfully,
or in a relation of intensifying hos
tility ripening inevitably into a day of
war and horror.
What is needed is the precise re-
verse of the spirit which the South
Carolina Senator perversely exhibits
moderation patience, even benevo-
lence and at least forbearanee. The
element from which most is to be
hoped is the moral and high-minded
sentiment, in the south, reinforced by
the intelligent self-interest of the pro-
gressive business community. 1t is
steadily doing much and getting into
position to do more to ameIiorate race
adjustments, and it is little short of
a high crime for any man, north or
south and especially for any southern
man Of note. to throw obstacles in the
way and to make worse a situation al
ready bad and dangerous.-The Mir
