 Many and frequent are the confiden- two great men over these thin copper wires One of them being the greatest of the black race. and the other the most august representative of the Cau- casan blood now living on the globe, the whole earth should hold It's breath and listen while they confer over the welfare. the life and the destinies of the human race.
 By snecial arrangement with the Mar conf wireless, The Sentinel has caught the first of the interviews between the two great American citizens, and gives
 Teddy-Morning, Booker; have you used Pears soap? I want you to get out pamphlet right away. to warn do you like the look of things in Ohio?
 Booker-Foraker is our meat. Place a few good offices among the colored we can land Taft on all four feet By the way. Teddy, I'll fix the black bal ances of power in Ohio to suit your will confirm your agreement to let me control your appointments in the South.

 Booker-A solid Roosevelt delega- tion to our National Convention Is certain-as solid Is the Solid South. Washington. and a third term will fit you like a glove. My idea Is to play the Taft bluff to the limit. Stampede the Senate. That's some politics, eh?
 Teddy-lt looks like a workable proposition, What do you think now of, National ownership, of railroads
 Booker-Keep right on with your philosophical discussion about "re,su- lation." Ownership is little too close the trend of public opinion. Owner ship will have to come, and you can run that in at the critical moment just as. you have so many other Bryan doe trines. It's the best kind of politics to let the other fellow experiment and find out what the people want and they want-with a string to It.
 Teddy-Great thought. Booker; you are the most practical man I know south of the Ohio. I'd have you over to luncheon today but for the fact that nothing escapes these newspaper dew
 Booker-No, that wouldn't do. YOU and must love in secret. In the open we must be polite and prudent until better days come and we can frater- mise in perfect equality
 Teddv-Tnat's it. Booker. You are dead right; you are a bully boy, and like YOU.
