LORD LOREBURN HERE
KEEPER OF ENGLAND'S GREAT
SEAL IN AMERICA.
First Time Lord High Chancellor Has
Visited This Country During
His Term of Office.

Montreal.-Lord Loreburn, who has
lust arrived in Canada, and who Will
visit New York, Chicago, st. Louis
Washington and other points of inter
est in the United States before re-
turning home, is the first lord hlgh
chancellor of Great Britain to set
foot on the shores Of the Western
Hemisphere, the first lord high chan
cellor, indeed, to leave his native land
during his term of office since the
DAYS when Cardinal WOlsey accom-
panied Henry VIII. TO the Field OF the
Cloth of Gold in France. For the chan
cellor is the keeper of the great SEAL
and so great is the importance at
tached TO this emblem Of sovereignty,
without which no legal value can be
given to any acts of state, or to any
documents bearing the sign manual
of the sovereign, that all sorts OF an
cient laws, still unrepeafed, provide
for its custody by the lord high chan
ceIlor, who is responsible for its
safety.
An old statute declares that it may
not be taken out OF the kingdom, and
one of the offenses for which Cardl-
nal WOlsey was impeached and pun
ished was that he had violated the
| law by taking the great seal to France
when he accompanied Henry VIII. to
| his memorable meeting with Francis
| / And there are also pains and pen
! aIties devised for the chancellor who
| allows the great seal out of his keep
! ing. So that, what between the dim
Guilty of letting this instrument OF
power out of his personal care and
the impossibility of taking it abroad,
| the lord high chancellor has always
been prevented during his term OF Of
ficee from leaving the country. Spec
ulation is rife as to what disposition
Lord Loreburn has made of the great
seal during his American tour. He
certainly has not brought it with him.
and if he has left it at home is must
have been surrounded by the most
elaborate precautions in order to pre-
vent anyone else from obtaining ac
cess to it.

ROOSEVELT, TAFT, AND THE
NATIONAL BAPTIST CON-

From the Colored Albanian.
During the last six months, colored
Methodists have been holding important
meetings in different parts of the coun-
trv: and in every one Of these meetings
resolutions have been passed denounclng
President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft
for their bold injustice in dismissng
"yitbout honor" the colored soldiers
from the nUited States Army. We COM
mend the colored Methodlsts OF the
United States for the bold stand they
have thus taken in defense OF justice
and equal rights" to all men regardless
of their color. On September II, 1907
the National Baptist Convention met in
the ciN of Washington, D. C., and held
FIVE days' session. At the proper time
resolutions were introduced (and rightly
sol condemning President Roosevelt and
Secretary Taft for the injustice to the
colored soldiers and pleading for the
simple exercise of justice to every man
IN the administration of the laws OF oui
land. While this resolution was brought
forward by some of the ablest men o.

in the race today. He is reported as
having said that if the resolutions pass
he is one of the ablest parliamentarians
ed he would resign his position. Just
why DR.. Morris took such stand as
this we do not understand, but we be-
lieve that he should have been given
an opportunity to resign a position IN
which he has apparently become IN
useful. The National Baptist Conven-
ton, representing more than two million
communicants, had the opportunity that
has been given to no other organization
Of Negroes to speak out against the in
Justice and expressions that have been
heaped upon the race. DR.. Morris may
feel that he has done something big
and he has. He has suppressed the
honest outburst of the oppressed against
oppression; he has kept the world IRON
knowing, so far as the National Bap-
tist Convention is concerned, that the
Negroes of America are vigorously pro
testing against the insults of the mos
powerful foe that has ever raised hanc
against the African race. The Nationa
BAPTIST Convention will meet IN New
York City next year and unless Presi
dent Roosevelt acknowledges his wrong
deeds and reinstates every colored sol
dier dismissed, similar resolutions Shoul'
be offered and passed. AS for DR.. Nor
ris, he is guilty of the blackest crlm
against his race, and should be SO con
sidered by his brethren

shape of strawberries and CantalOupes,
the summer has been bountiful. Many
white men and a scattering of negroes
have cashed in at the rate of $500 net
an acre. The Republicans hasten to as
cribe the flow to the magic touch of
their wizard party of prosperity. And |
lots of loosely-attached Democrats be-
lieve them. 1t is Gospel truth that every
man born of woman wears a nature
made harness, which must be hitched to
somebody OF demi-god attributes. Dem
ocrats of the Maryland kind have ma
tionally nobody while Republicans can
offer choice of Roosevelt, Hughes and
Taft. These lower counties are Demo
cratic strongholds. Detection and apathy
thereabOuts, if unchecked, are cloudy
with disaster.
For the campaign of 1907, at least one
can see where skin the niggers" be-
comes the enunciation of soul-stirring
principle. It tides over the period of the
fallow and unfruitful in national Demo
cratic doings.
In spite of the defeat of the Poe
amendment, Maryland whites may be
depended upon to declare for negro dis
franchisement, if the measure can be 50
constructed that grandfather" clauses
will not threaten and alarm citizens Of
foreign descent This year the Demo-
crats are not compelled to stand the
scrutiny of a definite measure. They
have only to promise a rectifcation of
the suffrage, while safeguarding the
privileges Of the namralized citizen. .
They ought to win; that is, if they make
no tactical blunder.
