TWO VERSIONS.

There is no blight upon the Negro of
the South worse than that of the lying
correspondents to daily newspapers.
IN these sheets, there is seldom if ever
a conflict between individuals of the
two races but that the man of color
was the aggressor, was in fault, and
got the worst end of the alteration.
This week there comes a story from
a small place in Kentucky, the name
of which is immaterial in which it
was stated that the place was on
the verge of race war. The cause
as given by the white press, was
that when a white officer attempted to
arrest a "burly Negro" the latter took
the pistol away from the officer and
shot him, killing him on the spot.
This was the white mans version, but
there is, as is always the case, an
other side.
This is the Negro version as re-
ported to The Globe. This small Ken
lucky town contains possibly more
Negroes than whites and though the
races have got along very well to-
gether, the color-line is tightly drawn.
In fact, so tightly drawn is the color
line that strumpets of one race are
not allowed to associate with members
of another race.
This officer, the version says, was
caught in a compromising position
with Negro strumpet and was ar
rested. On the day of his death he
was on his way to the trial when he
met a Negro man, who was a witness
coming out of barber shop. The
officer, brandishing his pistol, made
threats of what he would do if the
man testified against him and finally
ended by slapping the face OF the col
ored man. The colored man imme
diately knocked down the irate Office
and began to tussle for the gun. Be
ing the better man, this he secured
and shot in self-defense.
These are the two versions of tn
beginning of the miniature race wa
in Kentucky Which contains the NOR

BROWNSVILLE REPORTS.

The report on the Brownsville af-
fair signed by Senators Foraker and
Buckley. contains much of the evil
dence submitted before the Senate
Committee on Military Affairs and set
ties beyond reasonable question that
the conspiracy of silence" charge
upon which the soldiers were dis
charged, was net proven. Much Of
the evidence reproduced would seem to
warrant the conclusion of these two
Senators that it was doubtful if the
oolored troopers we're responsible for
the affair.
AS to who really "shot up" Browns
Vile, there seems to be as much I'M
certainty as before the Committee on
Military Affairs reported But this, it
would seem, is certain, that if the evil
dence connecting the soldiers was sc
fimsy as to make a grand jury at the
scene of the ARRAY, subject to all the
local prejudices, refuse to bring in {
true bill. it must not have been stronl
enough to justify the wholesale dis
missal of the troop.
Roosevelt, while claiming that hi
actions have been sustained, reverse
himself and asks for permission t

innocent. Brownsville is a live wir

The hot shots fired at Secretary
Taft by the Negro newspapers all
over the country have caused the
genial Secretary to take advantage
of every possible occasion to state
his views on the Negro question
and disfranchisement. Mr. Taft
comes of abolitionist stock and he
cites this as one of his qualifications
for the support of the colored brother
and, incidentally, has toned down his
speech on the Acknowledgement laws
of the South. Mr.. Taft is an Opt
mist; he confesses it., He is a candi

liean party, and must go back on hit

NEGRO WOMEN.

We have mentioned frequently in
these columns the series of articles ap-
pearing in the American Magazine on
the race question, and have had occa-
sion to praise the fairness with which
Ray Stannard Baker has approached
the subject. Nothing, however, that
he has written in the series appears
more striking and worthy of COM
lnendation than his tribute to the wom-
en- of our race in the March issue OF
the Magazine. Writing on The Nor
ais of Negro Women" Mr.. Baker says:

GUS lines of activity efforts to help

North about the immortality of Negr
women. Much immortality no doub

What Mr.. Baker has said about OF
women working to assist the fami
