Interpretation upo1 certain inqiir-
les which, they understood, were be-

that not a sincls member X Of the
delegation would be responsive to a
suggestion from the. White House
that he recommend a colored man
for any important political office in
his district. AT the same time. not
one Cd them world like to take a
step publicly which. would loosen his
hold upon the colored electorate or
endanger the ce2' airty of getting a
majority of its vote at the next
election.
Therefore it is safe statement to
make that any member of the dele
CATION would a,iv;sc the President
if his counsel were sought to go to
Kentucky or Indiana or any other
state in order 20 demonstrate his
regard for the c5lored race, but
if he were bent upon giving this
manifestation in Ohio, to go to
the district of one of his colleagues.
The Republican party,in Ohio needs
the negro vote, but it needs the
white vote a gIea. deal more, and
consequently lhe party leaders
would rather have one thirtieth of
the voting population ont of~sorts

lavish of his own money as of the
public funds.
Congressman Cole has introduced
bills for the erection of costly public
buildings in his district. This sort
of thing is always loudly applauded
by the crowd.
The majority of the people are
unreflective. They are educated to
believe that the government is a
COW of perenenial freshness, and the
best Congressman is the one who is
handiest at the feat.
Fortunately there Is money enough
to reach around. and that is the
main business of the cheap lawyers
we send to Congress; to get money;
money, money, for somebody at
home.
It is no wonder that they believe
it no more than right to help them
selves, too. They do not steal or
accept bribes. Oh, no; they vote
right for the particular corporation
that put up the coin that helped
them in the nomination and cleo
tion. And then, being attorneys,
they may be consulted" legitimately
by some interest on some bill.
Some time the people may cut out
the kind of false alarm statesmen
who can only make good by cutting
into the pork barrel, for battleships,
harbors and public buildings. .-Fos-

THE WAR ALARMISTS,


The plea of Secretary of War Taft
for sufficient appropriation for the
fertilization of Hawaii is, needessly,
the cause of renewal of the harm
full gossip regarding possible war
with Japan. There is nothing in the
attitude of the secretary that Is moi
fully explained by conditions exist
ing long before San Francisco
aroused the resentment of the mika-
dos government. Even when Ha-
wall was annexed it must have been
| in the minds of those whO voted fur
1t, and all who approved It that 1t
would be necessary 10 protect the
islands against a possible enemy.
One purpose in annexing the islands
was to make of them a protecting
outpost and to prevent their falling
into the hands of nation that
might use EN- in offensive warfare
against this country. The purpose
that existed then still obtains.
1t is not only needless, but even
dangerous to seek in more recent
events an excuse for this plan OF
fortihcation. Specifically TO attrib-
ute the purpose to fear of Japan Is
simply to cultivate the idea that
this country must some day fight
Japan and to make such a conflict
more certain. The United States
needs to be ready for an attack, but
| 1t Is most mischievous TO herald any
particular fortifcations as chal-
lenge to any particular nation. The
relations between the United States
and Japan are most friendly and
they may so continue unless the
prophets of evil continue to ha-
rangue the people and finally con
vince them that war with that
power is an eventuality not to be
escaped. AS The Dispatch has be-
fore said, we may talk and think
ourselves into war for which there
Is no valid excuse. Ii is time for
the common sense people of this
country to put the alarmists under
some restraint .-Columbu Dispatch.
