INTEpERArE CONDEMNATION.

We are Of the opinion that our
people do not aid our cause or ma
terially iujure our enemies by Kissing
either President Theodore Roosevelt
or Secretary of War, William II.
Taft. Such practices are INDUCED
in 10 a great extent in Northern
States and TO the educated mind, the
significance is about the same as
splitting i'm ones face. II emphasizes
the lowest contempt entertained for
the object OF their displeasure. II
may be that some colored folks do
not know this.
We do not feel very friendly to-
wards either OF the distinguished
statesmen for the reason that they
have failed sadly 20 measure up TO
the standards set for men OF great
and lofty principles. They have Civ
en- commercialism first place and hu-
man rights second place and this a
lone is sufficient 10 lower both Of
them in the judgment Of the future
historian. But then, will It best
subserve our interests for us TO go
beyond the rules of propriety and in
the exercise OF Incorporate speech
and bitter invective, may we not
drive more people TO their support
than we will estrange from their fol-
lowing?
II may be that the gentlemen in
the northern states know their con-
stituents better than we know them
and that they are pursuing proper
directions for the accomplishment Of
given purposes; still, we are unable
TO see il just now IN this light. We
believe that cool. calm logical argu-
ment, fraught with the consequences
OF such actions and seasoned with
the elements of truth will bring not
only colored men to our way Of think
ing, but white men as well.
The saddest and most unfortunate
part of the whole business is the

wrong action shall be stamped as a

compiish this purpose. This action
is highly eommendatory and will be
received with satisfaction through
out this section of the country. AS
most of the money will come into
the Southern States. the Democrats
have interposed no opposition to the
measure.
AS a matter of fact, it was Hon.
Grover Cleveland as President of the
United States that made this recon-
mendation in his message. The pa
tron OF the bill was not able to get
it through but one branch of Con-
gress and served only as a means for
sharpers to wiring money from the
conhding colored people. who had
been depositors. IL now looks as
though the measure will become law
as it is comparatively easy for it to
be forced through the House if
Speaker Cannon and his supporters
can be induced to favor the measure.
To this end colored people should
write TO him from all sections Of the
country.

This hat in itself is enough to kill

become immensely popular, and will

who fashions and trims her own hats.
