Franklin's paper the statesman., 1907-08-09

The days OF protest have come. The
.nearness Of the national campaign
makes the uttera1ses Of any leader
,momentous and the dfes& dispatches
are the vehicle Of protests Of varying
degrees of good sense and honesty o.
purpose. The serious position whicn
our race occupies, now that 1t is just
gaining foothold, seems not at all
to check the blatant idiocy OF seekers
after notoriety and jobs.
1t is now of all times that safe and
sane leadership is needed. leadership
Of the kind that is practical and not
merely idealist. A hundred CON-
plants can be justly urged but what's
the use? One piece Of constructive
craftsmanship is worth world OF ad'
vice and complaint. 1t Is pleasure
to know that the men upon whom the
race relies for leadership are measur-
ing M to their opportunity. Especi-
ally Is the west rejoicing. Some
months ago through presidential ap-
pointment Prof. Vernon OF Kansas was
called to Washington to fill one OF the
greatest positions yet accorded a Ne
gro. He has made good. He has
been accepted into the small number
Of efficient leaders as blood brother.
With no display, but with dilligent
attention to his work and courageous
defense Of our rights, with shrewd pro-
posals for our advancement, he Is COM
mending himself to the administra-
ton. ana to us as safe and sane
leader.
And so with others. The men who
rule now among us need Judgment
above all things and are not scream.

We need less noise and more work.

Republic Opposes High Court Proposition of Peace
 Conference

By Associated Press.
 CARACAS, August 31.--It is stated that the withdrawal of Veneuzela s rol- resentation from the Hague conference will be ordered.
 This is due to the attitude of Vencz- uela, regarding the wording of the prop. osition for the abolition of the collec- ton of debts from foreign countries by force to the proposed constitution and international high court.
 Venezuela with Brazil is in opposition to the international high court proposi- tion, holding that the proposed manner of selecting judges would violate the principle of equality under which the Latin republics are invited to attend the conference.

London, July 19.-The emperor of Korea is without a friend among the governments of Europe sufficiently interested in the status of the an cient Korean empire to iAterpose a word in his behalf. His majesty has always been friendly with Russia, and the outcome of the Russo-Jap- anese war was q gre |! blow to him. He then looked to the United States for support. When Edwin Y. Nor gan, who was American minister to Korea from June 26 until November 29, 1905, when the legation was abolished, refused to request of the emperor that he take refuge at the legation at the time the Japanese were pressing him to sign q treaty giving Japanese control of the for eign affairs of Korea, the emperor was greatly disappointed, and the final removal of the American lega. ton was a great blow and disap' pointment to nim.
 Almost all foreigners who knew the emperor considered him as q we'll meaning. but weak man, and his son. the present crown prince, i' not regarded as an improvement or his father.
