Roosevelt Consistency"

President Roosevelt recently at the
request of drunken John l.. Sullivan.
the ex-champion pugilist who would
not fight an Afro-American pug"
and always boasted of It. pardoned
the ex-prize fighters nephew, who
was in prison at hard labor for one
year at Fort Jay, New York harbor
because OF desertion, having been
dishonorably discharged from the ar
my some three or four months ago.
Not satisfied with this, he (Roose-
velD has restored Sullivan's nephew
90 his place in the army and in so
doing has shattered one of the "sa-
cred" traditions of the military SER
vice. One OF the hitherto unbroken
rules OF the army, navy and marine
corps was that a soldier. sailor or
marine who had been dishonorably
discharged could not be re-enlisted in
the military service. The general
practice in the three arms is that no
enlisted man can be re-enlisted un-
less his previous service has been
honest and faithful"
That rule was recently cited as
prohibiting the re-enlistment OF any
OF the 167 soldiers OF the Twenty
fifth Infantry who were discharged
without honor" on account Of the
Brownsville AFFAIR. But Lennon. the
nephew and dishonorably discharged
soldier in question is white. The
167 members OF Companies b, c, and
ID. OF the Twenty-fifth Infantry, are
black. That is the difference. and
all OF the difference as much as We
try TO believe otherwise.
The fact the BLACK Battalion" was
not dishonorably discharged only
aggravates the comparison-make
it worse for Theodore Roosevelt.
There is even grave doubt as TO the
legality OF the re-enlistment OF a man
who has been dishonorably discharg-
ed. Even this fact had no deterrent
effect upon the president who seemed
eager to favor the notorious Sullivan.
DR.. Booker T. Washington and the
few other black friends OF Roosevelt
should "get busy" and remind him
that he will not have 10 go near as
far 10 deal out Justice 10 the 167
innocent members of ''The Black
Battalion" and their race, whom ne
branded as midnight assassins and
criminals in order to cater to and
satisfy the morbid hatred and preju-
dice so rampant in the South partic-
ularly, and thus curry favor. politi-
cal and otherwise.

Yesterday while the great Confed-

along their route, including many

doing much good TO advance the in

ecerS Of the National Negro Business
League viii be present. We shall
make an effort to have with us DIR.

Suffolk is a beautiful. wide awake
hustling little city. Its colored pop
ulation is progressive and engaged in
many business pursuits. 1t is only
twenty-three miles from Norfolk, and
during the week of the Business
League. we will go over to the James

prise to many Norfolk people took
place at Stanton last Saturday even
ing, when Miss Lillian Johnson of Los
Angeles, Cal, became the bride Of
Earl j. Brakeman, son of Mr.. and Mrs.

A QUIET WEEK SOCIALLY
FIRST LARGE FORMAL DINNER
PARTY LAST NIGHT.
INACCURACIES ACTIVE SEASON

Dinner Party Friday Evening and
Luncheon Thursday Afternoon the
Features Of the Week - Coming
Events Occupy Attention.
While the week has witnessed the
largest and most formal dinner party
OF the season, yet as a whole 1t has
been an unusually dull week In social
circles. The approaching fair and
supper to be given by the ladies of the
Congregational church at the church
parlors next Thursday evening, the
dinner and supper by the Ladies guild
OF Trinity church at Marquardt hall
on December 5, combined with the
near approach of Thanksgiving, have
all tended to make a rather quiet
week. But the first large formal din.
ner party given last evening is only
the beginning of what promises to be
an unusually delightful season. With
the winter evenings coming on, Nor
folk Is getting more and more into
the swing of the regular gaities of the
period, and practically all forms of
evening and afternoon diversion are
crowding in to fiji up the calendar.
Thanksgiving dinners are already be-
ing arranged for and the sleighbells
of Santa Claus, always the zenith of
the winters activity, can even now
be heard jingling over the hillside.

"LID" is BEING PUT ON.
Reform Wave Swoops Over Towns
West of Chamberlain.

Mitchell, S. D., Nov 16.-The towns
out west of Chamberlain, on the res
ervation are getting the lid put on
good and tight even for the smaller
vices. Gambling of public nature
has been tabooed long ago, and the
sheriff of Lyman county has just made
a trip through Presho, Kennebec, ORA
per and Vivian and has ordered that
the slot machines in all the stores be
taken out, and the alacrity with which
they responded to his demand was sur
prising when heretofore so little atten-
ton was paid to this small vice. The
conditions of morality through all the
towns from Oacoma to Murdo have
been completely renovated in the past
few years and If some OF the bad men
of former day were to drop into any
of the localities they would think

FLOWER OF RANCH CANCELLED
Booking Manager of the Company Says
Not Enough Money in Sight.

Not Enough Money in Sight.
Norfolk will not see 1.-THE Flower
of the Ranch" that most excellent
western play with music, Joseph How
ard and Mabel Barrison taking the
leading parts. In response to de-
mand frequently made by the people
of Norfolk for first-class attraction
at the local play house, the Auditorium
management secured an option on this
piece, which is without doubt the fin
est that has ever been offered Nor
folk audience, for the evening of De-
cember 4. The guarantee demanded
was $400, and as this was more than
the management felt disposed to make
without assurance that Norfolk want
ed the attraction, canvass was made
to see The result of that canvass
was that something less than 5000
worth of tickets would be purchased
by the theatre-going public of the city
in case "The Flower of the Ranch"
were secured. A statement showing
the result of the canvass was sent to
Harry Askin of Chicago, booking man.
ager of the company, and reply has
just been received stating that it
would be impossible for the company
to appear here with the prospects Of
a seat sale.
The company presenting "The Flow
err of the Ranch" consists of more than
forty people and the daily expense ac-
count runs up into the hundreds OF
dollars, so that the manager does not
send the company to a town unless
there is an assurance that at least ex-
penses will be met. The guarantee re-
quired was not expected to cover all
the receipts of the evening, as there is
always a certain per cent Of seats sold
at the door, and this was all taken
into consideration in determining
whether the attraction would be put
on here. The decision was that there
was not enough in sight to justify
staging the play in Norfolk.
The management did not make indi-
vidually this guarantee for the reason
that every time it has guaranteed an
attraction the house has lost money,
and the show business in Norfolk is
not yet on such a safe foundation that
it cares to invest in any more enter
DriseS of that character.
