SOUTHERN MAN
SCORES NEGRO
Causes Sensation at Lincoln
Club Banquet in
Milwaukee.
TAKES ISSUE WITH A SPEAKER
"The Negro, by God, Will Never
=. Be Supreme in the South"
Declares Leach.
Solid South Only Safeguard Against
the RuIo of the Negro-Slavery
Sentiment in the North,
Even In Wisconsin.

Milwaukee, Feb. 14.-"The negro, by
south"
So declared q young southerner with
eyes blazing at what he considered
derogation to his Dixie in one of the
speeches at the Lincoln club dinner at
the Blatz hotel. He was Boynton Nc
Connell Leach, d young attorney, and
guest Of the organization, and the re-
marks to which he took exception were
in the address of Charles A. A. Nc
Gee, the principal speaker of the
evening.
The members of the club were sur
prised. Mr.. MeGee was undoubtedly
surprised. He had never considered
anything in his fervent eulogy of Lin
coin and rehearsal Of the conditions
that brought the martyr forth, as cal
culated to excite dispute.
Mr.. Leach Protests.
But on his conclusion, up jumped
young Mr.. Leach with an earnest pro
test against the implication that be-
cause the south had slavery and the
north did not, there was any superior
moral virtue in the latter section at
the time of the great struggle.
Slavery existed at one time in the
north-there was even slave senti'
ment in Wisconsin in common with all
the north-and the only reason that it
was dropped in the north was because
of economic reaSonS-in other words
slavery paid in the south and it did
not in the NORTH" said Mr.. Leach.
There is no occasion for any north
ern man to pride himself on this ac-
count"
The Lincoln club banqueters sal
back in their seats and took notice.
''The south admires Lincoln to as
great extent as does any section" con,
tinued Mr.. Leach, "and if he had moi
been followed by a weakling in the
presidents chair it would have been 8
wonderful good for all our country.
Negro Shall Never Rule.
II am the son of northern parents
but born in the south, and l know the
sentiment of its people-the negro, by
God, shall never rule in the south.
GAS long as the negro problem ex
lists there will be a solid south Of one
sort or other and that is the only safe
guard against the rule Of the negro
The south knows it was wrong on the
slavery question in 1860, but it was an
unfortunate condition that existed anC
as a political problem it is heritag
today which must exist for time tt
come. The south today hopes and
longs to vote for an American as al
American, just as Lincoln was a man
who summed up the American virtues
of courage, cleanliness and statesman

Why Colds Are Dangerous.

Because you have contracted ordi- nary colds and recovered from them without treatment of any kind, do not for a moment imagine that colds are not dangerous. Everyone knows that pneumonia and chronic catarrh have their origin in common cold. Con. sumption is not caused by cold but the cold prepares the system for the reception and development of the germs that would not otherwise have found lodgment. It is the same with all infectious diseases Diptheria, scarlet fever. measles and whooping cough are much more likely to be con tracted when the child has a cold. You will see from this that more real danger turks in cold than in any other of the common ailments. The easiest and quickest way Co cure cold is to take Chamberlain's Cough Rem edg. The many remarkable cures et- tected hy this preparation hayo made it q staple article Of trade over a large part ot the world For sale by Jack son Drug Co.,, and all dealers.

Washington, Oct 2.-The announce ment in New York that Chairman Hitchcock is to visit President Roose- welt this week occasioned no surprise in Washington. MT. Hitchcock has been expected here ever since the return of the president. The presi- dent has number of things in mind to say to MT. Hitchcock about the progress of the campaign of which he is being daily advised by constant stream of visitors. It is expected that when Mir. Hitchcock arrlver Fri day that he will have a number of observations to make to the president and that the president in his turn will make known to the chairman some of the information that has come to him.
 It is also probable that Mir. Hitch cock will let the president know just what the demand is for him to get out on the stump or continue his letter writing participation in the campaign. Mir Hitchcock's advise as to whether the president should make any speech es will also be given, it is believed, as the president is receiving so many re- quests from Republicans that he may wish to compare notes with the chair man
