Not a Race Issue at All.

President Roosevelt's demands for
good cars for negroes ought to offset
the Brownsville affair to some ex-
tent. Montpelier Argus.
And yet after all that has been said
about the Brownsville affair for the
purpose of estranging the negro vote
from Taft, the fundamental fact re-
mains that the negro troops were dis
charged the service, not because they
were negroes. but because they were
soldiers. Whether such summary dis
cipline was right or wrong, it was
military discipline for the correction
of soldiers and not an attack upon
colored men or the colored race in any
sense of the word If the same thing
had been done in the case of white
troops, no demagogue would have
even thought of trying to make a race
issue out of it. But, done to soldiers
that chance to be black. the oppor.
tunity to appeal to the prejudices en-
tertained by an already morbid race
sensitiveness is too tempting to be
ignored.
The worst of the whole business is
that such demagoguery is hard to
counterfeit because the real issue is
obscurred under this superficial cast
of race antagonism, upon which de
signing men may continue to play tC
the utter confusion Of sober minded
antagonists that would like to show
up the truth beneath the surface
This is called politics" But it is dis
honest.-St Adams Messenger.

While the Banner was the first
newspaper in Vermont to support Sec
rotary Taft for the presidency and has
since the opening of the campaign re-
peatedly urged his fitness for the
place, because we believed him to be
the best qualified and the strongest
candidate, We think none the less of
Governor Hughes. II, as now seems to
be true, he Is out of the presidential
race, his many admirers in Vermont
will unite in hoping that he can again
be prevailed upon to be candidate
for governor of New York where the
work he has SO well begun is not yet
completed Governor Hughes is only
45 years of age and at the end of four
or eight years will be younger than
most of our presidents have been when
elected to the Office and, II life and
health are spared, will be better fitted

A Doggerel Derelict.

The following unnamed and un-

the subterranean editorial ways and is
reproduced as a striking example OF

makes fuss and then he hikes away.
Some men think that they are great
and try to turn up jack, but each one
meets the same old fate, and trots the
same old track. Great Caesars dead
and turned to clay. and so is Cicero
Alexander's gone the way the rest of
us must go. The sages, poets. heroes,
and men OF noble birth. into an open
grave must fall and crumble back to
earth. Then let's not join the mad
array, and struggle like the deuce. and
agonize our lives away, for really
what's the use? Let's live and love
and sing the while and work some now
and then. and give to every one q
smile that cheers the hearts of men
And whether We are crowned with
flowers or chilled with winter SHOWS
