"a TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT"

The Richmond. Va. Times-Dis-
patch, in its editorial OF Thursday.
April 80. 1908 gave voice to the
best, most comprehensive, conserva-
tive views OF the so-caIled race ques-
ton that We have ever seen in a
Southern Democratic newspaper. We
refer particularly to its remarks on
the so-called equality dinner" in
New York City.
1t refuses to be wrought up by
the newspaper accounts OF the affair
and gives abundant evidence Of the
good feeling now existing in this To-
cality between the better class of
white people and the better class of
colored ones.
II is to be hoped that other white
newspapers in this State will take
similar view and refuse to yield to
the wishes Of the political dema-
gogues in low or high places. who are
disposed 10 seize upon these incidents
to accomplish some ambitious poIi,-
ical purpose as against their fellows
The thoughtful colored people OF
Richmond do not anticipate holding
any meeting in this city TO protest
against the dinner. They have nc
need so TO do. Their views are toe
well known to the white people o.
this State TO need any further reitera
ton of the subject.
