Mr.. Douglas stands well in the

Prove VoutseM What You Claim
You Are.

People must prove themselves
what they claim to be if they
would stand the test. Along this
line we find our people wanting.
Ii matters not So much what
person says of you. If you do not
prove him false he is correct so
far as the world is concerned.
For instance, suppose Tillman
says that colored people are
mostly shiftIess, unreliable, un
truthful, inferior, lazy and i'm.

example. Then committee of
colored and white people wou d

sure enough ma jority were as
he said-then he would correct
and vice versa
Ii man says you are triflIng.
the only way 10 convince the
people that the allegation are
not true is for you TO prove the
contrary.
Our people make a great mis-
take by making Tillman and Var.
daman out as truth tellers instead
of llars--not in all they say but
in too many instances. Suppose
someone would accuse a majority
of our young peop,e here of be-
ing spendthrifs, beer drinkers
aud uneco. omical. can We refute
II by their actions?
One old man said all of our
women were without virtue. We
do not believe that, hut if oul
women do not prove themselves

AT the afternoon session the fol-
lowing petition. with many signers.
was directed 10 be sent to Presi-
lent Roosevelt:
To His Excellency, Theodore Roose-
welt. President of the Unite.l
States of America:
The undersigned petitioners
you'd respectfully represent, that
hey are members Of the Central
West Virginia United States Teams
sters' Organization. and were team
sters in the service of the Army of
the United States during the late
Civil War. That while 1t Is true
that they were prevented by their
occupation from bearing arms, they
believe that the services they render
ed were no less important and in
dispensable to the success of the
armies of the United States than
those Of the soldiers in active SER
vice whose services would have been
impossible without the labor rem
dered by these petitioners. Your
petitioners therefore feel that they
are entitled to recognition at the
hands Of the Government of the
United States for the services so rem
dered, in like manner as II they had
enlisted in some other branch OF the
Army's work.
Your petitioners believe that an
investigation of their claims will
lead your Excellency to the same
conclusion and therefore respectful
ly request that the matter may re-
ceive your personal consideration
and II it wins your approval that
your next message To Congress
should contain favorable recon-
mendation to it for legislation recog-
MIXING the services rendered by your
petitioners"
