Washington, Feb. 28.-Southerm
men in Washington regret that W. T..
B. Dubois, the negro professor of At
lanta, saw fit in his recent address in
New York to use language calculated
to justify mixed marriages and to ell
courage those Of his race who advo-
cate social equality. According to
Professors BuBois Il mixture of ne
gro blood with white has been re-
sponsible for the genius Of many Of
the great men of history. He in
stanced such well-known mixed
bloods as Alexander Dumas, Tous-
saint 'Ouverture, Ira Aldridge, and
Fred Douglas and then claimed mix
ed blood for three men who are not
generally credited with having had
negro blood-Robert Browning, Alex
andcr Hamilton, and Lew Wallace.

speech in the house in which he de-
clared he was not being accorded fair
treatment, caused a report to be sent
out that he was suffering from insani-

While Mr.. Weber does appear to
have a mistaken idea that the other
members have it in for him and that
they are all trying to give him the
worst of it, there is nothing in his con-
dition to indicate that, with this ex-
ception, his mind is not all right.
Mr. Weber has at all times refused
to enter into any combinations or deals
declaring he is here as the representa-
tive of the people and will look after
their interests to the best of his abil-
ity and will vote for every bill on it's
merits.
