RoosEvELT's BIG HUNT.
Presidents Son Kermit Tells Of Trip
Into African WiIds.

Into African Wilds-
President Roosevelt received the I
other day at Sycamore Hill, his home |
at Oyster Bay, N. T., s. S. Mcclure,
representing the Mcclure publications,
and Caspar Whitney, editor of Outing.
These, like many other editors and
publishers, are eager to make contracts
with the president for stories of the
big game hunt he will start immedi-
ately his administration Of the affairs
of the republic closes.
Mr. Roosevelt has received offers
from every part of the country and
some foreign offers for his own story
| of his hunt in Africa, and competition
for his writings about this plunge into
the wild has become so keen that it has
4 been said that he could close contracts
i which would make Rudyard Kipling
seem mere penny liner and cause
Thackeray. Dickens and some others to
turn in their graves.
No contract was closed, however, de-
spite the visit and the entertainment
of Messrs. Mcclure and Whitney.
Kermit Roosevelt, now youth OF
twenty of a serious bent Of mind, said
that he would accompany his father in
the African hunt With two big grips

the presidents coachman, Joe Wash

Stones and Gia.. Houses.

The origin of the saying, Those who
live In glass houses should not throw
stones" is as follows: At the time of
the union of England and Scotland
London was inundated with Scotch
men, and the London roughs used to
go about at night breaking their WIN
dows. Buckingham being considered
the chief instgator OF the mischief,
party of Scotchmen smashed the win
dows of the dukes mansion, known as
the Glass House. The court favortte
appealed to the king. who replied,

Follow Foraker

Extreme silence prevails in Missis-
sippi white Republican leaders just
now, which amounts to an antipathy
that is just ridiculous. The straws,
of course, show that the wind is blow
ing Taftward, but plain duty of the
Negro is toward Foraker. 1t is re-
markable that there is such a stiffness
at a time when action is needed. Oh.

tect 5000, 900 in our own leaders,

rAEr,s SOUTHERN suPPoRT.
CThe New York Evening Post.)

(The New York Evening Post.)
The White House Summary.-lt
would be, on the very showing of the
White House, impossible to nominate
Mr.. Taft without the entire vote of
the South. That can only mean that
the Southern Republican machine,
made up of Federal oficeholders, is
expected to obey the Presidents or
ders. What sort of men these South
ern Republicans are, we know from
Secretary Taft's own frank speech OF
a couple Of years ago. He told them
to their faces that they cared for
nothing in the party except to control
the patronage and run the conven-
tons. To-day, at the word of COM
mand from Mr.. Roosevelt, they are
to mobilize for Mr.. Taft. 1t was pre-
cisely by such means that Harrison $
denomination was effected in 1892:
the result of that years election is not
exactly a happy omen for Taft. There
would be this year an added touch Of
injustice in a Republican nomination
due to Southern delegates. The votes
upon which alone their representa-
.tion can pretend to stand have been
suppressed, and YET Mr.. Taft has
said that he will do nothing against
the confessed wrong and illegality Of
the discriminating laws disfranchis
ing the Republican voters in the
South!

NOTICES osTED AT THEIR

Number of Stewart County Men
Warned Not to Employ Negroes.

Dover, Tenn, Jan. 21.-(Special)-
The night riders made their appear
ance on the south side of the river
in this county for the first time last
night. They invaded what is known
as Happy Hollow, three miles west
of this place. and left about fifteen
notices 10 different farmers not to
work any more Negro laborers. The
following received notices: P. P. F1tz-
hugh, e. r. Cherry, George Sykes,
Thomas Dougherty, Mrs. D. M. Jones,
Lum Blanton, S. A. Parker, H.. Crisp,
J.. w. Whitford. The notices were all
written in the same hand and all read
exactly alike. 1t is not known what
time of night the notices were posted,
as they were very quiet in their work,
not waking any of the farmers.
The notices were all tackled upon the
gate posts, at the front gate of the
farmers. P. p. Fitzhugh, besides be-
ing a farmer, is also a prominent tim
Der man, and he works a great many
Negro tie hackers. After discovering thu
notice on his gate, MIR. Fitzhugh tel
ephoned to the Sheriff here for his
bloodhounds. The hounds were sent
and took the trail at Mr.. Fitzhugh's
gate and followed the rail for several
miles, going to every gate where no
tices had been left. The trail, how
ever, was lost at the store of M. r.
Dilday.
Some of the farmers do not think
that their notices were from the night
riders. Those who received the no
tees say they are not going to spare
any expense to catch the guilty ones.

NAN TO HIS VOCATION.
The race question is a mystery. For
the matter of that, life is a mystery.
Whence we came, whittier we are go
ing, we know not. The Ethiopian is
thought to be especially initiative. All
of us are more or less imitative-par-
ticularly the ultra Smart Set of high
society-which, here on the seaboard
initiates the little it knows about the
European nobility, and, in the inter
ior, whatever it can find out about the
Smart Set of the seaboard. 1t is an
unfortunate characteristic of imitation
to take for it's example rather the bad
than the good of whatever attracts its
admiration or its envy. "Jess like
white folks" is sometimes heard in
colored circles of fashion-that is
among the colored Smart Set of the
Colored Four Hundred. Now, for my
part, | scarcely think much more Of
the Colored Four Hundred than
think of the Caucasian Four Hundred

who, if they can't go to Heaven in
their Automobiles, don't want to go a

tor, out of material that was intended

All of us are the creatures of evo
luton and education. The Whit
races seem to have got along faster il

races. Why, | cannot tell you. 1t i
a simple fact, obvious to all of us
that, just as Europe and America ar
further advanced in arts and arm

the Americans ahead of the African

ture. AS this ought not to be the sui

or a reproach by the Blacks. In cas-

can get rid of the other, or act in

account Of what has been done these
forty years of freedom.

emancipation, the Negro at a stand

COURT D[ADLOCKS
ON SUTRO ESTATE
Death of Mcfarland Leaves the
Justices Evenly Divided Over
Validity of Trust Clause
Members of Highest Tribunal
Now Enabled to Collect
Three Months Salary

BY the death Of Justice Mcfarland
the supreme court has peen brought to
a deadlock on the validity of the trust
clause in the contested will Of Adolph
Sutro. So absolute is the deadlock
that yesterday the court issued an or
der directing a resubmission of the
celebrated case. Not the least interest
ing result of the resubmission order is
that it enables the learned justices to
resume relations with the state treas
ury, their salaries having been held up
for the last three months on account
OF their failure to act on the Sutro
case within the time prescribed by law.
After months of elaboration, the
court met a few weeks ago to pass on
the issue, but action was postponed
because of the serious illness Of JUS
tice Mcfarland. After his death the
court was polled, aud it stood equally
divided, three members declaring the
clause to be invalid and three holding
it TO be legal The issue rested with

tice Mcfarland had formed an opinion.

The deadlock has brought about a
condition unique in the history of Cali

most important with which the courts
have had to deal. AS soon as it was
apparent that a deadlock had been
reached the justices discussed the vari
Gus methods Of procedure, but decided
eventually, with a certain degree of
humorous wisdom, to have the case re-
submitted.
BY adopting this course the justices
will be enabled, incidentally, to draw
their salaries once more. Under the
California law, framed to expedite JUS
tice, the members of the highest court
are restrained from drawing their pay
when they allow any litigation to re-
main undecided 90 days after it has
come under their Jurisdiction. They
are already three months beyond the
prescribed limit in the Sutro case and
have received no salary vouchers for
