HARD TO INTERPRET.
Is Judge Tnft's Lexington Speech,
Declares Judge CardwcH.

Richmond, Va, Aug. ,25.-Judge
William II. Cardwell, president of
the Virginia supreme court of ap-
peals, in an interview, made this
statement concerning the declaration
OF Secretary Taft that the South is
being kept out Of the councils of the
nation on account OF the attitude of
OF South to the Negro:
The declaration Of Mr.. Taft is
remarkable and IS Of quite doubtful
Interpretation. 1t means either that
the South has been kept out Of the
councils Of the nation owing to the
attitude of the South toward the Me-
gro, or that the attitude of the South
has been Nmisinterpreted by the vot-
ers of the north owing to the fact
that they did not understand the Ne
gro question, but they now seem to
be gaining this understanding for
MI. Taft himself states that the at
titude Of the South toward the Ne
gro and the South's disfranchisement
provisions are both wise and proper.
AS to the Negro being a neces-
sity to the South Mr.. Taft takes the
view that the Negro has been and is
now burden to the South, a view
which is absolutely. cRrEe.Sst ~ and Jun

less soon there Is a marked improve
ment in the Negroes bearing toward
the whites and unless the Negro
comes to understand that by his good
conduct and habits Of industry alone
can he become prosperous and there
fore not burden to the white tax
payers, his race can never be regard
ed as a necessity to the South, but
will, on the other hand, become an
intolerable burden, condition of
things all right thinking people
OF the South would deplore. -.

Away in the forest there stands a good
: knight
Clad all in coat of MALL
His lance is made of an icicle BRIGHT
His arrows are the hail.
And now and again he encounters knight
In Lincoln green arrayed;
His crest is a spray of hawthorn white,
A sunbeam is his blade.
They fight from dawn till set of sun,
Till the leaves come out on the trees.
And all the rivers begin to run,
To carry the news to the seas!
Till all the flowers spring from the earth,
And wild grass is green on the ground;
Then winter yields to the green knight s
worth,
And is out of sight at bound.
