LOUISVILLE. KY. March 24.--In an
effort to outwit the weather man, Con-
ME Mack and his team did not stop at
Nashville yesterday morning, but came
right on through to this city, where
they were greeted with sunshine.
Dick Harley Is a member of the home
team and gave the Philadelphians a.
warm welcome, as did Jim Burke, who
is manager and captain of the Louis
Vile combination.
Following a rather lengthy interview
with Connie Mack yesterday, Barnicle.

envy, Franklin, Mass, has decided to 20
back to graduate and rejoin the Ath-
letics in June. He left here tonight.
Manager Mack was immensely pleased
with the afternoons work, in which all
the new men participated. He am
nounced that he would spring a pony
battery on the American Association
team today, using Bills and Schlit-
ger. with McDonough catching.

Franklin K. Lane Sees Great Inn
prOyement in Nations In
dustriaI Situation.

WASHINGTON. March 23.-Every in
dication points to an improvement gen.
orally in the railroad and industrial
situation of the country. according to
reports made by the great railway sys-
TENS Of America to the Interstate Com
merce Commission. These reports are
TO the effect that, while the railroads
come to be referred to as the October
panic" the loss was by no means so
serious as generally has been supposed.
The figures available Indicate also
that the general condition in the oun
try is improving materially, with a
better.
Franklin X. Lane, member of the In
terstate Commerce Commission, has
made a careful analysis of the figures
submitted by the railroads themselves
to the commission. Mr.. Lane was
asked what loss the railroads Of
America mad sustained from the "Oc-
tober panic"
"Thers can be no question but that
within the past three weeks there has
been a strong upward tendency in
freight revenues" said Mr.. Lane. "a
greater volume of traffic is moving to-
day than has been moved at any time
during the past two, and. perhaps,
three months. The figures of the
American Railway Association show
that there is less surplus of cars at this
time than at any period since October
30. This promises an early return to
more normal conditions, and railroad
men generally are more optimistic than
they have been since the Kniekerbocker
Trust Company closed it's doors"

been accomplished by it, not the least
of which is the notice which has been
served upon the Republican party
(and all other parties, for that mat
ter), in thunderous tones, that it can
not henceforth mistreat the Negro,
and then count on his solid support
on election day!
The most common, but very natural
mistake made during the recent presi-
dental campaign, was the claim and
belief that the Brownsville affair was
the cause of the great Negro disaf-
fection. 1t was simply the occasion,
but not the cause. The cause lay
in the increasing intelligence and
manhood of the Negro, and the de-
termination not to longer brook high
handed and barefaced discrimination
from any quarter, without protest.
The philosophy or reasoning which
laid behind the conduct of these Ne
groes was the belief that the disfran-
chisement and other discriminatory
laws OF the South were enacted as a
political expedient-that they were
directed against the Negro as a Re-
publican asset, and that these laws
would disappear, in part at least, as
soon as the Negro began to show
himself friendly to the Democratic
party by occasionally voting its tick
ct. They further believed that purer
government and more friendly legis
lation could be secured from both
parties, by judiciously dividing the
Negro vote, according to the merits
of the issues involved. Such were
the arguments and reasons that ap-
pealed to their judgments, and shaped
their conduct. They believed then
that they were right; they believe so
now, and purpose to keep up the fight
for a division of the Negro vote, not
in the interest of the Republican par
tv; but in the interest Of the Negro
himself.
