INTERVENTION

BY Our own Wire Publishers Press.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2i.-'In spite Of
ourselves, we have become a world power
and have to do a world powers work"
Invigorated and bronzsd by his sum-
mer outing Admiral Dewey made the
above statement apropos Of the Cuban
situation.
Il heartily approve the cautious policy

thoughtfully.
But while the admiral did net allow
himself TO go so far, it was evident he
believed that the only satisfactory solu-
tion Of the Cuban tasgle is the annexa-
tion Of the island.
Intervention in Cuba was forced upon

which prevailed in the island" he said,

stormed At 3 o'clock. Long was taken
out and hanged to a telephone pole and

ATLANTA. Ca. Sept ci.-John Temple
Graves the brilliant cd tor and orator,
has issued a signed statement addressed
to the press Of he North on The A,lsn.d
race riot and its causes. which reads, in
part as follows: 'The Aran a race ri5t
Is due 10 the cumll ative provocation Of a
series Of assaults by negroes upon white
women. which, in number, IN atroeSy.
and unspeakablc auhac.ty, are without a
parallel in the hist,ry Of crime among
Southern negroes There have been
eleven assaults, or attempted assaults.
within the past seven weeks. OF these
hends only four have been apprehended.
and seven have escaped scot free and are
now at large in the community.
1T has been a reign Of terror for our
Georgia women. They have heen trem-
bling prisoners in their homes, and their
husbands. sons ana brothers have been
held in the necessity Of guarding them un-
ceasingly.
There are few men who dare to leave
their families after nightfall, either to az
send public meetings, to pay q social call.
or TO worship in the churches Of their
choice. The whole section has been In a
state Of siege and apprehension, which
has been growing more and more intol-
erable.
'The silllest man in the South is the
time serving statesmen who declares that
there is no race problem, and the ques-
ttion, if left alone. will settle itself.
"The race question Is more impending
and threatening now than IT has been in
twenty years. The tension is sharper, .he
antagonism deeper between the races
The hope of a permanent agreement has
slender foundations.
1.-THE horror Of Saturday has doubtless
left blot on our civilization, Dut it will
clear the atmosphere and keep the Negro
in order for five years to come. The
present riot is at an end. The city IS
quiet to-day, the streets are clear, the
military is on guard. the negroes are
whipped and humbled. and there is nc
danger apprehended anywhere. But th'
trouble is likely to be reopened with an.
other wave Of crime next summer.
How can you help US? BY giving tive
paragraphs to the denunciation OF rape
where you give one to lynching.

HAskINs' ACCEPTANCE SPEECH

Congressman Haskins is doubtless
convinced by this time that he erred in
judgment when, before a convention
OF Vermont Republicans conven-
ton which had just honored him with
a triumphant renomination-h he took
occasion to criticise, one might almost
say, assail, our popular Republican
president. The convention listened in
silence silence that meant palmer
than demonstration, I'VE disapprove
of what you are saying"
The staunch and loyal Republicans
OF Vermont uphold Theodore Roose-
welt. Whether he sometimes takes the
smoothest and most conciliatory meth
DDS to accomplish good results, they
care not. Whether he considers and
observes all the niceties OF Congress
sional etiquette is to them small
matter. They want results. They
believe he is seeking, in this packing
house matter, the welfare of the
people OF this and other
lands. They suspect that the opposi-
ton he encounters comes principally
from the prompJings OF the packers
and those they are able to control.
So the constituents OF Kitredge Has
kins learned with surprise that, as a
member OF the House committee on
agriculture, he sided with the packers,
instead OF the president, and his ex.
Iplanation and defence Of his course in
his Montpelier speech last week, with
its implied criticism OF the president

purpose was his justification. II

plishment, TO whom the task ahead
may be entrusted with entire safety.
The leaders. Fletcher ID. Proctor and
George H. Pronty, combine splendid
elements. They are keen-minded, up
right. honorable and loyal, firm in the
purpose TO give Vermont a thoroughly
efficient administration and fully capa-
bic Of doing it.
There has been criticism of Mr..
Proctor because he remained silent
during the canvass and failed to ex-
press himself on the issues. He re-
moved that criticism by his clear, firm
and wise utterance made in his speech
Of acceptance Everybody who heard
it was impressed with the strength and
calibre OF the speaker. II Mr.. Proctor
takes the stump in this campaign-as
he may, and as we trust be will, the
people of Vermont will have chance
to hear an orator OF no small power,
though his pretensions have never run
in that direction.
The platform spells progress, but
not hysteria. It means the growth OF
Vermont along rational lines. It
promises betterment, not revolution
and chaos, 1t outlines a greater and
newer Vermont. II is not a patch
work, crazy-quilt affair, conceived in
the cave of Adullam, but a sensible ut
terance of sane men, unmoved by
selfshness or envy.
II ever Vermont Republicans were
called to rally to the support OF clean
men and a strong platform, it is now.
There is little excuse, and no justifica-
ton, for faltering this year.

TICKET ANo PLATFORM.

# may 6e that Vermont is about to
be swept from her Republican moor
ings and pass over 10 the control OF a
fusion OF Democrats and discontinued
Republicans, but no hint OF such an
impending event could be drawn from
the size and temper Of the Republican
state convention Of last week. 1t was
a grand convention. Almost every
delegate was present. Almost OF
quite ali Of the 2l5 cities and towns
were represented. Aud not only that,
but an excellent spirit prevailed
There were contests, but thorough
satisfaction with results. Every dele
gate felt and expressed confidence ia
the Hcket. in the platform and in the
final outcome, though a warm con-
test may eusue. There Is no division
among the active, earnest, loyal and
true Republicans OF Vermont, and
they are numerous enough to write
the verdict
The ticket commends itself Every
nominee is a young man. None is
yet 50 years Of age-an unusual sea-
ture in any state. But they are not
mere youths, destitute Of wisdom OF
experience. Each is a man OF accom-
