having refused to go aloft in rough

state the old mast and sail" system
of instruction in the harbor training
ships.
This system was abolished about
seven years ago, and with it went the
old cruiser squadron consisting of
fully-rigged steamships, in which
youths were sent to sea before being
passed out into the ships in the first
line. The sailing brigs Nautilus and
Liberty were also dismantled.
In the place of-this system a new
one was introduced by which boys
were first sent to sea in the ships of
the Particular Service Squadron, con-
sisting Of first-class armored cruisers.
Sail drill, running aloft and such
things we're consigned 10 the limbo
of the past, as having no place in an
age of steam and steel.
The objections of many distinguish
ed naval officers were overruled as
being obsolete. They said that drill
aloft trained the men in confidence
and daring, and that its abolition
would result in a falling off in those
qualities in which the British blue
jackets has always been supreme.
But the DIRECTORS We're ridiculed.
Now the authorities have discover

Of an-impartiai jury on the evidence

been unanimous for conviction in all
cases or IN any individual case.
This makes clear the Senator'S ac-
complishment. He has proved an in

also American citizens He has shown
beyond any reasonable or even posi-
BILE doubt that when the order of dis

FORAKER AND BROWNSVILLE.

The opening of Congress brings to
the forefront the Senate Committees
on Military Affairs investigation OF
the Brownsville affair. While the
Committee as yet has not submitted
it's report, or better, its report-for
there will be undoubtedly majority and
two minorityr eports-one can easily
surmise what will be the conclusions
of a majority Of the committee. Con-
corning the investigation the New
York Sun has the following to say:
It is believed that the recent hear
ings in the Brownsville matter have
practically completed the case as a
case. AS an issue it may yet display
considerable activity. The committee
report is not yet submitted and prob
ably is not even prepared, but there Is
no doubt of the tenor of the coming
document. The verdict OF the com
mittee was a safe prediction when the
case was opened. The proceedings
have been a hearing, an investigation,
rather than a trial, and it is impossible
to claim that all Of those who heard
were impartial or even open to con-
Viction. A miracle would hardly have
served to convince some Of them that
the men of that battalion Of the TWEEN
ty-ffth Infantry were guiltless. The
evidence of the empty shells which
were shown by microscopic examina-
ton to have been fired in guns which
were not and could not have been used
on the night of the shooting carried
no weight with those who wished to
believe otherwise.
What, then, has Senator Foraker &C.
complished as a result of the disturb
ance he has created? That question
is not n to be answered until a reply
is given to another question, namely,
what has Senator Foraker sought to
accomplish? He has been charged
with acting from unworthy motives.
Such charges come only from unwor-
thy minds. He has been charged with
desire and effort to embarrass the
President. Such assertions are silly
He has been accused Of playing poll
tics" It is the complaint of narrow
politicians. There is nothing in the
entire history of the case to show OF
to indicate, directly or indirectly, that
Mr.. Foraker has or ever did have any
other desire or purpose than that Of
securing justice for a body Of mer
honestly regarded by him as having
suffered from an injustice not intend
ed, the result Of impulse, but none thu
less on that account an injustice.
Mr.. Foraker has not shown beyond
any possible doubt the innocence o
these men. Doubtless he hoped to dt
so, but that was not his primary puT
pose. He took up the case with thu
assertion that American soldiers hat
been dismissed from the army with
out honor" on charges insufficient,
grounded and without that trial t.
which they were entitled by both civi
and military aw. The charges wer,
murder, misprision of felony and per
jury. The hearings have been onl,
for the purpose of taking 'such fur
Their testimony as may be n~ecessar,
to establish the facts" The fact
have not been established by the evi
dence and the testimony. If the limo
cence of the soldiers has not been TN
questionably established, neither ha
their guilt. The only proper decision
of the committee would be the Scotcl
verdict of mot proven" The verde

The Election of 1905.

To the Nashville Globe:
In 1908 there will be waged and
fought out between the Democratic
and Republican parties the f%iercest
and most strenuously contested ma
tional election that has ever occurred
in the history of this country, with the
possible exception of that of 1876,
when Tilden, Democrat, defeated
Hayes, Republican, the former being
deprived Of his hard won victory by
one vote on a partisan division of the
commission having the contest in
hand.
The chieftains of the two great par
ties are beginning to marshal their
forces, throwing out their skirmish
lines to feel their opponents position
and strength, Preparatory to the final
struggle for political supremacy in
1908. Both parties have taken to the
woods in search of suitable political
timber for the oncoming fray, which

Why Two State Fairs for Colored
PeopIe2 Htt

Why Two State Fairs for CoIored
People?
To The Nashville Globe:
The undersigned read in the Nash
vile American of Wednesday morn
ing, November 27, an article inform
ing the public that a second organiza-
ton had been formed for the purpose
of giving a State Fair for the benefit
of the colored people. Sometime ago
it was announced through the daily
press and the columns of the Globe
that the Tennessee Negro Industrial,
Educational and Agricultural Fair AS
ISOLATION had been organized and char
tered with F. G.. Smith as president.
Everybody knows Prof. F. G.. Smith.
He Is the efficient principal Of the
Pearl High School, and is widely and
favorably known throughout the whole
state. The men behind the second or
ganization are good men and need no
introduction to. the Nashville public.
The object of this article is in the in
terest of harmony. Why have two State
Fair organizations? To inaugurate
and establish an annual State Fair
is no small undertaking and to make
a success of it the united strength of
all the people is necessary. The col
ored citizens were very much pleased
with the first organization and thought
that they saw in it an effort on the
part of the promoters to arouse Nash
vile from its long slumber and to give
the people one grand occasion where
they could go and enjoy themselves.
The writer does not believe that the
coIored people need or desire two fairs,
He believes a separate second organi.
zation a mistake. AS he sees it, the
proper thing to do is for the second
body to unite with the first, and with
their consolidated strength work for
the highest success. AS leaders Of the
people they cannot afford to be placed
in the attitude of organizing a rival
concern or of striving to impede its
progress, or of dividing the forces Of
the Negro, AS a race man, and one
wishing the State Fair a success,
hope that these gentlemen will get to
gether. FAIR PLAY.

STRINCER g. THOMAS, Props.

William Jennings Bryan, it seems,
is the logical candidate of the Demo
cratic party, though the political
woods is being ransacked to find other
suitable timber for a candidate in the
event of the miscarriage of his candi-
dacy. There is scarcely any need Of
making provision for the last named
contingency only as a grandstand
play, as Mr.. Bryan has the reins of his
party well in hand and is master of
the situation.
1t is not so with the Republican par
ty which is in the throes Of bitter con-
%tention among it's leaders. Mr.. Roose-
welt will not dominate the next Re-
publican National Convention as
easily as will Mr.. Bryan the Demo
cratic Convention. Mr.. Roosevelt's
game to perpetuate his policies by
debating the nomination or selection
of his successor, will be met with
great opposition. The vane on the
political steeple indicates this only too
plainly for him not to see and know
it. He has done some things he should
not have done-things he could have
left undone or adjusted by his famous
Square" of justice and fair play. He
may succeed in landing Mr.. Taft as
the Republican nominee, but putting
him in the White House as his sue
cessor is altogether another PROPOSE
ton. He has done one thing he should
be sorry for; but owing to the fact he
has not the courage to recede from a
position once taken, he lets a wrong
go unrighted, and thereby a~ntagonizes
a large following of heretofore staunch
and loyal Republicans. Our brethren
in those states where every vote
counts and means something are go
ing to meet the issue touching u
rights as beft men. Ere the ides Of
November, 1908, shall have passed,
there are those who will know that
the Negro no longer condones aflict-
ed wrongs nor kisses the hand that
stabs him. The Republican party has
no particular claim on our loyalty to
the extent that we should cling to it
whether it be right or wrong. We
have lived beyond the day when we
felt that we were under a debt of
gratitude to it.
It has no claim upon us other than
as it serves the highest purpose of
government, which is a righteous adj
ministration of it's laws alike to all
its citizens, rich and poor, high and
humble, black and white. Whenever
a party fails to represent the high
ideals of true government, it cuts
itself adrift from its supporters. For
a long time we have chung to the Re
publican party because We did moi
wish to break with it for two reasons:
one, we THOUGHT it represented the
highest administrative efficiency, and
second, we cherished the sentiment
: that under Lincoln's administrator
we were freed. But no longer sucl
considerations control the politica
status and thought of the Negro; TO
in these strenuous times he has Learned
/ to see, think and act.

JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER.

JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER.
John G~reenleaf Whittier, American
author and poet, was born at Haver-
hill, Mass. Dec. Z, 1907, in the Soci-
ETY. Of Friends. He worked on a farm
and at shoemaking in his boyhood,
but his desire for learning was so
strong that, at the age of Is, he en-
tered a local academy. and from then
onward his career was upward. His
genius was early recognized by Will
liam Lloyd Garrison, who, as editor Of
the Free Press, published some Of the
poets earliest efforts, and this great
apostle of freedom excited and eXer-
cised a powerful influence upon the
character and career of the poet. The
two were closely united in the great
anti-slavery struggle, and shared
alike in its dangers and its triumphs.
Whittier was one of the most ardent
champions of our freedom, and gifted
and versatile he fought for it both
with verse and prose. In his Voices
Of Freedom" are to be found the best
specimens of poetic antislavery
verse. Hu,a dU u tesa.
His soul went out to the oppressed
black man who had been betrayed,
plundered, profaned and disinheriteG
and with his pen he took up his cause
and helped carry it to a successful
