Believe in Plain DGCencQ
President DepIores Fact That Honest
Men Have Shown So Little Dis
position to Help In the
Observation-Disclosures
Face Difficulties.

Special to the Herald.
San Francisco, June 20.-President
Roosevelt has written a letter to Ru-
dolph Spreckles of this city, the man
who has stood behind the officers in
their fight here on municipal graft
ers, urging him to keep up the fight.
He advises Spreckles and Prosecutor
Heney not to be discouraged because
some of the guilty men have escaped
punishment, and says that every one
engaged in such work realizes the
difficulties facing the reformers. He
deplores especially the Indifference of
the honest men who ought to be sup
porting the efforts of Spreckles and
Heney. The letter, which is thor
oughly after the style of the presi-
dent, concludes with these words:
DO not be discouraged; do not
finch. You are in a fight for plain
decency, plain democracy of the peo-
pie who believe in honesty and fair
dealings between man and man."

TAFT At CINCINNATI
GIVEN BIG RECEPTION
THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOR
PRESIDENT is VISITING
HOME OF HIS BROTHER.
CHARLES TAFT.
COnIers With Sherman
Nominee For Vice President and the
subcommittee of the National
ommittee-Plans For the
Campaign Will Be
Arranged.

Special to the Herald.
Cincinnati, Ohio, June 20.-Secre
tary Taft arrived here this morning,
and went to the home of his brother,
Charles Taft, where he is holding
conference with Mr. Sherman, nomi-
nee for vice president, and the sub
committee of the national committee,
to arrange campaign plans. Taft was
given great reception when he ar
rived. There were thousands at the
union station to meet him.
A dozen marching clubs and hun
dreds of citizens with bands formed a
procession that escorted the candi-
date to the home of his brother.
Thousands of others had gathered
about the Taft home to give the NOM
inee welcome. The conference will
probably last all day. 1t may deter
mine who is to be the national chair
man.
The hackers of Arthur l. Vorys' left
the conference this afternoon looking
disguised, and it is regarded certain
that Vorys is not to be the national
chairman. 1t is believed that the
honor will go to Hitchcock.

CONTRIBUTION.
CAUSES OF CONSUMPTION.

The causes Of consumption are re-
mote and exciting. Of the former the
most important is hereditary predis
position. 1t is not, however, an actual
cause of the disease. and hence there
are many cases in which the offspring
of consumptive parents do not fall a
prey to this disease; but it renders
those who are in that condition much
more liable to be affected by the excit-
ing cause. Whatever Weakens the
strength of the system or interferes
with the oxygenation of the blood tends
to the production of this disease
Hence living in bad air, insufficient
and unwholesome food and sedentarv
pursuits, tend to it. Among the more
exciting causes are exposure to cold
or dampness, especially after the BODY
has been heated, intemperance of anv
kind profuse excavations, and expos-
ure to the reception of dust into the
lungs, as is in the case of janitors
street sweepers, tiremen (of furnaces)
scavengers, etc, in fact, a great num.

THE FORAKER BILL.

Consideration of the Foraker Bill
to reinstate the discharged Negro sol
diers accused of shooting up Browns
vile, has been postponed until De-
cember. Upon the motion of Mr.. For
aker himself the Senate, by almost
strict party division, agreed to vote
upon the measure on the 10th of De
cember.
This action of the Senate came as a
surprise. Judging the rumors of dis
satisfaction upon the part of the Sena-
tors over the threats of the Presi-
dent, it would have been thought that
the matter would be threshed out at
this session of Congress. Political
expediency, however, decreed other
wise."
The pOstponing of vote upon the
measure until after election, was the
one common point upon which all the
factions of the republican side of the
body could unite. 1t was probably
hoped that such action would remove
Brownsville as political issue. But
will the postponement have the desired
effect? Will the Negroes of the coun-
try, with the fate of the men admit
tedly innocent in the balances, rally to
the republican banner with their old
time enthusiasm and carry doubtful
states for the party?
Mr.. Foraker evidently has sought to
divorce politics from his fight for com
mon justice to the Negro soldiers, but
he has not been completely success
full. Brownsville is a political issue
with the Negroes and it remains to be
seen whether they will hold the re-
publican party to accountability for
its non-actton upon bill for reinstate
ment of the soldiers at the present ses-
sion Of Congress.

ton were about equal among the two
races.
Another lecturer on Tuberculosis, -
recently said the colored race was
not the more susceptible to this dis
ease. Now, accepting this theory, let
us find the cause.
Statistics show that they very sell
dom died of consumption fifty years
ago; the oldest people tell us that dur
ing the days of slavery, the owner and
not the slave was the victim Of this
disease. Why?
Any man who owns an animal of
any description will, if he is wise, take
good care of that which causes him to
accumulate money Man is an ami
NAL of the highest order. Once upon
time one man owned many men; his
wealth was estimated by the land and
number of human being he possessed
The wise owner took good care of his
riches. When a slave became sick a
first-class physician was called, his di-
rections closely followed, and he was
well paid for his services. The wise
owner had his slaves we'll clothed from
head to foot, No one was allowed to
wear lace hose, slippers, and then
shirt waists on Easter Sunday, instead
they were forced to wear thick shoes,
wooden hose, linsey-wooley underwear,
plain, coarse, but protecting outside
clothing from early fall until early
summer.

THE CONVENTION.

The Globes fight against machine

in two of the most orderly and har.

day and Saturday ever held in the city

parry is inherent in the masses and
that no executive committee nor band
of federal office-holders have the right
to usurp authority not granted to
them.
The Conventions were notable in
that they we're attended and endorsed
by so many thoughtful men of the
race. In the meetings were men who

times.
When the Globe denounced the trick
cry used by the local executive COM
mittee to thwart an expression of the
voters of the city, we knew the temper
of the people. But one federal office
holder, who expected to profit by the
scheme, denounced us, it is said, on
the floor of his alleged convention as
an enemy to the race. Poor fellow,
he did not know the feelings of voters
who are not candidates for some small
