 DISCHARGE ORDER
Says Roosevelt Was Right in Dis. charging RiotOus Negroes and Also Says Giving Suffrage to Ne.
 grOeS Was Mistake.

New York, Feb. 7.-Alton B. Park CT, addressing the Maryland Society here tonight, said he believed the president had the right to discharge the negro soldiers at Brownsville and was justified in using that power. Ha condemned the interference of the leg islative branch of the government and attributed the action in the matter to political motives.
 "It is not the fist time the poli- ticians have used the negroes for their own purposes" said Judge Parker "They used them when they saddled upon those states to the south of Maryland these people as voters. Ev- cry intelligent man, I think, will ad- init that granting the franchise to the negro at the close of the war was a mistake, as great mistake for the negro as for the white man. The ne- gro was poor and not fitted to exer- else the right of franchise. Politic- ians, for their own selfish Purposes, 1 told him he was fitted to rule and take possession and many well-intentioned men and women joined in the mis- 1 take.
 Notwithstanding all these difficult 1 ties, the two races have worked to- gether we'll for the upbuilding of their section No like experiment in all his tory has been so successful. What the South needs, and what it has a right to ask, is understanding and confidence. It does not need nor does it desire indulgence or pity, but, like any individual or people anywhere, it would welcome and should have sym pathy. She cannot be helped by pas- sion. She should not be subjected to the denunciation of the .demagogue and bigot Or the raving of the fanatic" :"

AWFUL FUTURE FOR TOBACCO
 USERS.

A preacher at Port Republic, N. J., told his congregation that "hell is full of chewers and smok- CTS, and cigarette smokers are chained to the hottest corners.' His auditors became alarmed. They quit the use of tobacco in every form and began a crusade at once against the weed. A telegram from there says:
 Women took up the crusade. While they sang joyous hymns, Miss Amanda Blake, proprietor of the villages general store piled in the street her entire stock of tobacco, cigars, pipes and cigar cites. set fire to them and they went up in smoke. John H. John son, 70 years old, sexton of the church. who has "never been With out pipe for fifty-five years, swore off and is dangerously i'll. But he is resisting temptation, say ing piously: "I would rather do without whiff of tobacco than live for all eternity in an atmos- phere of sulphur"
 Here is a preacher that needs looking after by the tobacco grow CTS and the tobacco trust, for II ms kind should become very numerous there would be a serious decline in the tobacco market.
 Up in Kentucky the tobacco growers have an organization known as the Associated Soclety oi Equity, the object and purposes o1 which is to restrict the acreage of tobacco and also to pool their crops for higher prices by deposit ing their tobacco in a society ware house when the crop is gathered. One of their peculiar ideas oi "eouity' is to destroy the tobacco heas ar burn the barns of every farmer in their community Who does not see fit to join thelf ..nnion.,, The society," was organ ized to fight the tobacco trust ana to make the manufacturers pay the farmers a higher price for thelt tobacco. Now, however, this SO ciety, is threatened with a ne" danger. Here comes this New 'ef- sev preacher proclaiming that "hell is full of chewers and smokers and by his crusade promises to de- crease the demand for tobacco 'n any shape or form, and on top o' that it is also reported that the tobacco hands of Kentucky aye now forming a union to ma%e the growers pay higher wages. Ner'lE' the Kentucky Associated soc1e': of Equity seems to be up against it."
