But if we are tracing back to the
origin of things we must dig deeper
till we reach the legend of Mount Shas-
ia, the very first part of the earth to
be created.
The Great Spirit broke a hole in the
floor of heaven with huge rock and
went on throwing down more rocks
until he could step from the sky upon
the top of the pile.
Then caressingly he touched the
sides of the heap with his hands, and
forests sprang into being Leaves
from the trees he plucked and breath
ed upon until they nuttered into the
air, fleet winged birds. Beasts and
fishes he also formed from his staff.
And so in love he became with the
mountain of his creation that he hol-
lowed it out into wigwam, where
he dwelt for centuries, the smoke of
his lodge fire being often seen pouring
from the cone before the white man
came. May C. Ringwalt in Los An

Random Notes.
By J. d. Watson.

8yL d. Watson
A resolution has been introduced in the
Texas Legislature calling for an investigation
OF Senator Bailey's conduct toward the
Waters-Pierce Oil Company, one of the Stan
dard's subsidiary companies.
If the resolution is passed. there may be
some interesting facts brought out within the
next few weeks
Mr.. Bailey was nominated before his con-
nection with the Oil Trust was known, but he
has not been elected yet.
The only way in which Mr.. Bailey can
acquit himself of the charges and restore the
confidence of the people in him, is to aid the
investigating committee in getting all of the
facts in the case, and let the facts show him
guilty or innocent
If he opposes the investigation tries to
cover up facts or resort to technicalities, he
might as well plead guilty at once and be
done with it, for most people will believe him
guilty. Unless Mr.. Bailey faces the investi-
CATION like man, and proven himself inno-
cent, he is dead politically, for all time.
The State of Missouri has started another
crusade against the trusts that promises to
accomplish more than seems likely at first
glance
Suits have been filed to dissolve the alleged
merger of the Wabash, Missouri Pacific and
Iron Mountain railroad companies, and the Pa
cifc Express Co. The courts are also asked to
revoke the charters of several other corpora
tions.
The mere filing of the suits would not mean
much if the State did not have an attorney
general who would push the suits which Mis-
souri, has.
Some time ago, when Mr.. Hadley, Missou-
ri's Attorney General, went to New York to
make H. H. Rogers testify in certain nves-
tigation, Rogers laughed at Hadley, expressed
contempt for the State of Missouri and for
Missouri's laws
1t was not long, however, before Rogers was
singing a different tune, and begging Hadley
for mercy. Hadley put Rogers through what
common criminals call the third degree" and
made him furnish the information wanted.
With man of that caliber after the cor

Ro0sebelt and Some Southern Leaders.

In the eyes of a certain class Of Congress-
men from the South Mr. Roosevelt is always
wrong,
Never, by any sort of chance, can he do
right. No matter what he does, they are
"agin it,
1t, in pursuance of what he honestly UNDER
stood to be satisfactory compromise reached
while he was in attendance upon the Charles
ton Exposition he appoints Dr. Crum as co1lec-
tor at the custom house, batteries of abuse
are kept bombarding him for years.
Southern leaders badger him about the ap-
pointment of this compromise negro, just as
though Cleveland had not stuck black pin
heads all over the map Of patronage-North
as we'll as Southland just as though McKin-
ley had not given one of the highest places in
the civil service to negro
The people Of Augusta, Ga did not want
Judson Lyons, negro, for postmaster; and
therefore, they united against him, strove
nightly against him, and secured compro-
mise which put Judson into the higher posi-
ton of register of the treasury.
Thus, for many years, the paper money
which you have been using would have been
illegal had it not carried on it's face the sigma
ture of negro.
Then, again, there was the Booker Wash
ington incident.
According to the statement, made, appar-
emily by authority, the president was in his
work-room, his office, holding business con-
sultaton with Washington when the hour for
luncheon arrived. According to this state
ment, a servant brought into the room the tray
bearing the presidents usual luncheon
To avoid the interruption of the conference
of sending Washington away, and, at the same
time, to avoid the rudeness of eating alone in
the presence of an esteemed acquaintance, Mr.
Roosevelt invited Washington to take part in
this informal meal, served in the business office
of the Executive Mansion.
Owing to the peculiarly tangled and trag-
ical relations of whites to blacks in the United
States, the presidents impulsive act was un-
questionably mistake. Doubtless he himself
soon realized that it was.
But did it ever really deserve the tremen-
dous castigation given it by certain Southern
leaders?
Was the incident SO tremendously impor-
tant as partisan hatred claimed it to be?
consequences claimed by such enemies to the
president as Senator Tillman?

another-this is not SOCIAL REcoGNI-

TON?
What else can it be?
To dine with the Head of the State, at his
invitation, is the highest honor for the rea-
son that no law requires it, and the act is one
of grace.
Now, it is the literal truth that negro mem
berS of the House and Senate had been dined
in this manner by all the Presidents who pre-
ceded Mr.. Roosevelt whenever there was
negro member of either house
AS to Booker Washington himself, every
fair-minded man will admit that his standing
is exceptional. AS negro, he is exceptional
His career has been exceptional For manv
years he has been the fashion among the peo-
pie of the North. They pet him, lionize him,
enrich him. blow bug1es for him, The ease
with which that ginger-cake mu1atto can tap
a Northern sugar-maple and catch the Juice,
is a fine art.
Does not Andrew Carnegie think lots of
Booker?
Evidently he does, for he invites him home
to dinner in that stately mansion of his in
New York
Unless | have been utterly misnformed,
two of the distinguished people who were in
vited to meet Booker Washington at one of
these Andrew Carnegie dinners were Mr. and
Mrs. Grover Cleveland.
do not vouch for this, but my information
comes mighty straight.
Then, again, do you not recall how Presi-
dent Mckinley went down on a visit to Tus-
kegee, and how he and the Governor of Ala
bama took lunch with Booker?
The newspapers SO reported at the time, and
no great rumpus was kicked up over it.
Then, again, you will remember that when
a New England tate-Massachusetts, be-
lieve-sent out travelling committee which
had negro on it, Gov. O'Ferre11, of Virginia,
invited the whole push to take lunch with
him-and the negro was one of those that sat
down to meat with the Governor of the Old
Dominion.
The meal was informal; the ladies of the
Governors family were not present; and very
little was ever said in the newspapers con-
corning O'FerrelPs dining with negro"
Now, when you calmly think the matter
over you will no doubt come to the conclusion
that the Southern leaders to whom reference
has been made, exaggeratd the significance
and Importance and the consequences of this
affair of the Booker Washington lunch"
Mr. Roosevelt has never, in any particular,
shown the fantest desire for social equality"
He has given convincing proof that he con-
