The remarkable account of exist
ing conditions in Atlanta will fitting
" apply to those existing in many
other sections. They may not be as
aggravated in their details, but the
elements of similarity are everywhere
apparent. In some localities white
men are exerting their influence and
officers of the law their efforts to
prevent the infiaming OF the worst
passions. The white hoodlum finds
scant encouragement at the hands of
the better class of white citizens and
the Negro loafer finds naught but con
demnation at the hands of the better
class of colored ones.

Two acts OF President Roosevelt
will stand out as the most remarka-
bic I'm the history of any admins
uation and viii tend TO give Pres
ideut Roosevelt a unique standing
lin the political history of this coun-
try.
one is his open endorsation and
championship of the candidacy Of Sec
rotary of War William II. Taft of
Ohio and the other is the naming of
Ex-senator Marion Butler as the po-
Hucal referee for the Southland.
Mr. Butler is a Democrat and
Populist. In fact he is well-nigh
everything but "a Republican.
Secretary Taft is q iurist with
political leaning and his disposition
to obey orders has made him q pop
.ular favorite with the occupant OF
