treasury ceased his adherence of plum
derers disappeared his devotion TO duty
melted away. He stopped the negotia-
lions and recalled his agent. Instead Of
buying the two English ships of 5000
tons for $3.50, 0O0, he bought two Ameri-
a ships OF 5000 tons for 81, 300, 900.
These ships were purchased of what is
known as the Ward Line, plying between
New York and Havana. These ships
were eight years old. 1t is a universal
rule among ship-owners to write off five
per cent of the value of a ship for
every year it is in active service. To
arrive at the commercial value of these
vessels at the date of their purchase it
have deduced 40 per cent OF their
original cost. What did they cost?
Alfred q. Smith. Secretary and Treasurer
of the Ward Line, testified under oath
builders in Philadelphia, about 81, 100, 900
to build them. Deduct 40 per cent from
that sum and it would leave a balance of
S660,00O as the real commercial value of
the ships when the government obtained
them. And yet the President, through
his subordinates, paid $780, 600 for
these ships-ships that cost only S1,100,-
600 when new, and threw away an op-
pOrtuntty to buy larger ships abroad for
little more than half the money.

He is mighty in boasting, but weak In

the man, the totterlng, trust-ridden old
Republican party asks the American peo-
pie to follow blindly, fatuously, contid-
inSly-and whose Endorsement they at
tempt to make a paramount campaign

of every chivalrous man in Missouri.
Mrs. Morris. a cultivated lady, once a
resident of Sedalia, and sister of an
Iowa Congressman, went to the White
House one day last winter to see the
President on a business matter of press
ing moment to her husband and her
self. She waited and waited in an
ante-room, and finally was told that she
could not see the President, She per-
sisted that she must see him, as it was
a matter of great concern to her. and
said she would wait until she could have
leave, but she begged not to be driven
away and plead for an opportunity to
lay her case before the President Then
an under-secretary of the PRESIDENT, a
fellow by the name of Barnes, directed
his subalterns, among whom was a
bury negro, to eject her by force. This
they did in most brutal fashion. She
was dragged to the carriage way, the
negro holding her by her feet. Her
clothes We're torn, her body bruised and
her person exposed. She was hurried
away to the police prison like a common
hours before she could reach her friends
and secure her freedom. What did the
President do about this outrage, com
mitted by his own servitors almost under
reprove, his secretary? No. He re-
warded him by promoting him to the
lucrative position of postmaster at Wash
ington City. And that is one of the
/ Performances Ilt DtllIOCI VI NiLSSOui

BOOKER WASHINGTON.
This assault of that negro White House
| guard on Mrs. Morris reminds me of
Booker Washington, the negro teacher
the incident. The President invited
Washington to dine with him at the
White House, He entertained him rs his
guest and sat with hin at his private
table. Now If the President had been a
private citizen, whatever l might think
of his taste. 1 would not make the Incl
dent a subject of public comment. l
would simply console myself with the
patdndum-concerning taste there is no
disputing. But the President is not a
private citizen he is at the head OF the
American government. The post he oc,
powerful in the world. The effect of an
act lone by the President is very differ
ent from that of an act done by Theo-
iore Roosevelt. BY that act he gave
that the President of the United States
recognized and accepted negro equality
not only legally but socially, This aGt
was revolving and harmful both north
and south, but especially in the south,
where the people are forever confronted
and sorely perpleXed by the perilous
problems incident to race ~antagonlsms

REPLY FROM CHANDLER
Former Senator Makes Statement Re-
sardIng His Course AS intermediary
in Negotiations Between President
Roosevelt and Senators TilIman and
Bailey.

railroad rate bill was disturbed today
by the personal interruption Of Sena-
tor Bailey, who rose to a question of
personal privilege to make a reply to
a charge made in a Chicago paper yes
terday by Washington correspondent
to the effect that Bailey had been re-
sponsible for the failure Of an agree
ment between. the President and Sena-
tor Tillman.
Former Senator Chandler was given
as authority for the statement that
Tillman had been suspicious of Bailey,
who, it was also stated, was really op-
posed to rate legislation and was also
in constant conference with Aldrich
with the purpose Of defeating the rate
bill.
Bailey Takes Floor.
After the statement had been read
Bailey took the floor and said:
II have taken no part in the question
OF veracity between the President and
Chandler, and have not even given
any public expression on the question
OF good faith because knew nothing
about either question l had never
conferred with the President directly
nor with Chandler 1t was therefore
a matter OF great surprise to me when
the senator called my attention to the
extract which have read, and said
that the correspondence it was under
stood, was sent by correspondent
who is very close to the White House
and Is presumed to speak with some
degree of authority concerning trans.
actions there,
Calls Publication Lie,
don't know as to the truth of
that and ! do not charge that his state
ment was made with authority. But
l denounce the publication ais an rn-
qualified, deliberate and malicious lie.
/ denounce that correspondent as an
unqualified, deliberate and malicious
liar. denounce the man who inspired
the statement as an unqualified; delib-
crate and malicious liar, whoever he
may be and however high the Office he
holds"
cs,andIer's Reply.
Senator Tillman today received from
former Senator William e. Chandler. a
statement of his course as intermedi-
ary in the negotiations between Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Senators Tillman
and Bailey on the railroad rate bill.
The communication bears upon
Lodges denial for the President Of
Chandler's statement quoting the Pres
ident as saying he had lost confidence
in Senators Foraker, Spooner and
Knox. It was offered in the senate by
Tillman and will be printed in the con-
gressionai record.
Has Power Of Speech.
The most interesting feature of the
letter is contained, in, the closing para
graph in which Chandler says: "On
the whole perhaps ought to consider
myself fortunate. II the old imperialist
days had been fully revived at the
White House, one whom considered
one Of my best friends would have cut
of my head and taken it to President
Roosevelt on a charger and should
have spoken no more. Now at least,
I have left to me the power Of speech.
But shall never use it again as a
missionary from President Roosevelt
to the democratic party"
