RUSSIAN IMMIGRATION.

In the twentieth anniversary number OF THE
Jewish Exponent" Louis Edward Levy speaking
OF tile Russian immigration, says:
To England and its colonies and to the United
States those that could have made their way and
others are following. But the number of those who
fortunate is too small proportion OF those
who must needs stay where they are to materially
change the situation there, and so the future of the
Jews in Russia must ultimately remain bound up
with that all the rest of the Russian people That
future is in process of evolution through revo
and, although a generation must yet elapSe
before the political and social reorganization that
is going on in the Russian Empire can be followed
by normal conditions there, and although much
bloody travail must yet ensue before those condi-
tions are realized, there Is clearly no other out

which developed In the German Empire after its
constitution in 1870 will doubtless be paralleled in
a more or less modified form in Russia. and the
Jewish people IF that and the adjacent countries,

ment confined to whites only. In Co
lumbus. O., where there is the largest
colored vote in the State, now even ex-
ceeding Cincinnati, Foraker is stronger
than ever. since the President failed to
honor one of her distinguished colored
citizens. Ralph Taylor. In Columbus,
Wilbur King, VIM. Lynch, Harry Alex
ander and a number of other colored
men prominent in politics are laying
awake at nights, figuring how to vote all
colored men against Taft.
Here in Cleveland there has always
been two factions, one headed by George
Myers. the premier Negro politicion OF
the State. and Harry Smith, the courag-
eous editor of the Cleveland Gazette.
These two factions have been at odds
for number of years, but l learn that
they are now a unit in their opposition
to Taft and their fealty to Foraker and
Dick. Then sentiment expressed is that
had the President carried out his an
nounced intention of appointing col
ored man to a federal Office in Ohio,
Taft might have had an even break with
Foraker. as the colored voters of Ohio,
in the way of patronage, which IS as
dear to them as to white voters, have

taffy in the next rush. Taft has no
more show than Roosevelt. He had
better take his chance or accept the
chance of going to the Supreme Bench.
That is about all he can do. Foraker
will get every colored vote.
I propose from now on to cali upon
all Of my colored Republican friends to
stand up for those that have stood by
us. What did Foraker say when Presi-
dent Cleveland wanted to restore the
Rebel Flags to the Southern Confed-
crates? He said he did not care -
but no Rebel Flags will be restored
while I'm Governor" Where was Taft

trust Foraker because he has been truly
tried. The people will demand him as
President and Timothy S. Woodruff OF
New York as Vice? Roosevelt will be
the most badly defeated man that ever
ran, and so will his friend Taft. My
advice to him is to find a Daniel who

Ohio Senators. It IS claimed here also
that both Senators Dick and Foraker
would have stood for the confirmation
of a colored appointment by the Presi-
dent, and that when the President learn
ed that the Ohio Senators would stand
for it, at the solicitation of Taft and
Longworth, he refused to make the ap-
pointment. If the colored voters of
Ohio line up solidly with Foraker, it is
impossible for Taft to secure a solid
delegation from Ohio. The same senti-
ment exists at Toledo, where Cottrill,
who is recognized as the colored Fora
ker leader in that section, is unequivo-
cally for the senior senator, and very
bitter against the President and Taft.
The colored vote of Ohio is now being
organized against Taft, and it is giving
the Taft boomers much concern. 1t
can be set down as a certainty, that un-
less the unexpected happens, the colored
vote will be cast, both at the primary
and at the election against the big sec
retary. In Cincinnati it is said that
Charles Taft, the secretary's brother, is
downcast because of this condition. It
is said he has had two or three promi-
nent colored men approached on the
idea of organizing the colored vote for

RIVALS BOOKER T. WASHINGTON.

Rev. Chauncey l. Withrow, the sub
ject of this comment, was born in Ruth
erford County, this State (soon after
the Emancipation). His father was a
slave of William Withrow, father of
our country merchant, J. P; D. With
row, of Hollis. Young Chauncey spent
his early life on the farm, working tin-
der many disadvantages, as his advent
into the world was at time when the
South was in a most distressing and
trying ordeal. The war between the
States had just ended and chaos and
confusion reigned supreme. There were
no schools even for tlc IS, and the
colored race had less o.. ,unities and
fewer privileges than the whites. The
casual observer can readily ste that this
young colored boy had but little to en-
courage him, and indeed nothing to in
spire him to the higher and nobler life
to which he has attained, and the sue
cess with which he has met is but the
result of his own efforts and indomitable
will. That there is something commend
able and above the ordinary in the
makeup of this colored divine, and a
quality and character far superior to
ANYTHING found in the majority Of his
race, is evidenced by the fact that he
stands today without ( superior and

but few equals among his race in all

Washington may stand with eager gaze
watching over the mental and physical
development of his thousands of stu
dents who come and go at Tuskegee,
yet in all his display of talent and learn
ing our Rutherford county colored di-
vine outstrips him in every principle OF
character that goes into the makeup of
a scholar, educator, preacher and bene-
factor to his race. His sermons, his
lectures, his life as a public benefactor
to and for his race, stands without
parallel in the history OF the colored
race in the South. Wherever he has
gone, from the novels in the mountain
gorges, where he first breathed into ex-
istence, to the crowded churches in the
populous cities, he has Won the hearts
of his own people and the plaudits and
commentators of his white friendb,
who gladly bestow upon him not only
merted confidence but substantial sup
Gort and encouragement-Sun.

A GREAT FIGHT TO BE MADE
BY COLORED REPUBLICANS.

A great fight is to be made by colored
Republicans for a square deal through
the country. If Roosevelt believes in
fair deal, give it to us.
The colored Republicans of the coun-
try, especially in the doubtful States,
were never more determined than at
present to defeat Roosevelt. If the Re-
publican party nominates him, they will
elect him without Ohio, Indiana, New
Jersey, Connecticut Delaware, Illinois,

States. The idea of appointing three

defeat him.
