Committing Political Suicide.

Editor The Washington Herald:
The demagOgue who Is telling the negro
that Roosevelt is the enemy OF the race
is doing more 10 retard the political
progress Of the negro than has been done
by the Southern white who has by acts
of legislature practically disfranchised
him. The negro needs the protection of
his white brother. II the colored men
ALLEVIATE the friendship Of the Republl-
cans, they viii be making mistake that
a generation cannot rectify
The very fact that the negro is so
blatantly shouting that he is going to
desert the party which gave him political
life is enough to cause the whites 10 band
together. Secretary Taft will get more
Democratic votes than he will lose col
ored votes unless the negro comes TO his
senses, and that very quickly.
There is not sane man in the Repub-
lican party that takes FOraker's candi-
dacy for the Presidency seriously. Were
Foraker to be nominated at Chicago. his
chances of election would be so slim that
gamblers would give odds of 10 to /
against him. The reason is to be found
in the fact that the negro is for him.
That IN itself would ALLEVIATE from him
thousands of votes Of whites who would
be swayed by the fssT Of negro dOmina-
ton.
That there is a racial antipathy is seen
daily in every department OF our govern
ment Take any Office in the city where
the negro is employed alongside and on
an equality with the white clerk, and
note the result. Would any clerk who IS
so employed vote for a man whose only
claim to Office was his friendly feeling
for the colored man? Is this not true
throughout all the land?
When once the negro deliberately places
himself outside the political breastworks
he will have a hard time getting back.
for he is not as diplomatic as those who
seem to befriend him for political gain
Here, truly, is an example Of a body Of
men committing political suicide. They
are working untold injury TO themselves

Republican party more than the party
needs the negro. This is said more in
pity than in anger DIR, H. NJ. CADY.

0verwOrk and Sunday Laws.
10 The Washingt0n Herald:

Editor The Washington Herald:
Senate bill No. 6535, for the proper
observance Of Sunday as a day OF rest
in the District Of Columbia" prohibits
Sunday labor except household work. the
operation of public service corporations,
and the performance OF works Of neees-
sity." The bill expressly provides for
the sale and delivery Of articles Of food,
the sale of meats. milk, fruits ice, news
papers, and other articles. the operation
OF barber shops, &c, before 10 o'clock
in the morning; but it prohibits fishing.
hunting, and public sports, exercises and
shows. These are the main features of
the bill
The recent hearing before the Senate
subcommittee revealed two motives be-
hind the persistent agitation for laws Of
this character: % A desire to prevent
Overwork. which may be called the hui
manitarian motive, and C2) a desire TO
keep the day sacred for religious pur-
poses. and to afford opportunities for
church attendance. which is the ecelesI-
astlCal motive.
Senate bill $3.50 affords clear evidence
that 1t was framed less 10 prevent over
work than to dictate to the people how
they should spend the first day Of the
week. It may be very desirable that
Sunday should be spent IN religious wor-
ship and spiritual meditation. Let us
grant that proposition without discus
sion.
But II a group Of boys-it is a we'll
known fact that normal boys are not
spiritually -minded-want TO play a game
Of ball on Sunday, on some vacant
ground where they cannot disturb any
one, why prohibit them from doing so?
After attending school all the week
Open-air exercise is just what they need
TO develop their lungs and muscles. If
a man has been tied to a desk all through
the week, and mother nature calls him
on Sunday 20 the hills, the woods, and
the streams, why make It a crime for
him 20 go fishing? Any one who desires
it can make Sunday a quiet, peaceful,
restful day without these absurd re-
strictions on their felOw-citizens. Did
the trainers Of this bill ever hear Of the
law of equal freedom?
This bill permits the employees OF
public service corporations and house
hold servants TO work on Sunday. bat
does not stipulate that they shall have
another day OF rest each week In place
Of Sunday, which indicates pretty clearly
that the trainers of the bill look with
upon overwOrk, provided It
does not occur on Sunday, / am in
formed that the conductors and motor
men Of one of the two street railroad
corporations in the District are nominally
allowed one day Of rest in every eight;
but that they are often denied this day
off, the privilege depending upon how
many extra employees are available.
If the trainers Of this bill were genuine
would they not have pro-
vided that those whom necessity COM

What Is Usury2
.or The Washington Herald

Editor The Washington Herald;
One of the bills introduced in the
United States Senate, by request of the
District Commissioners, was charac-
terized by the Senator who introduced It
as of an extraordinary character. 1 as
sumo he referred to the one Furnishing by
fine and Imprisonment the lending of
money at a greater rate than per cent.
That certainly is an extraordinary bill.
If lend a man money at per cent per
annum without security, I am 10 be pun
ished: while pawnbroIers can lend with
security at IS per cent. If we had no law
against usury there would be eompeti-
ton among lenders and the current rate
would be lessened. IL lenders have TO
resort to devious ways, which increase
the risk. the rate must be higher.
/ can indorse a mans note for discount
at bank at per cent, and charge him
any amount for my Endorsement without
violating the proposed amendment to the
code. When the code was adopted 1t was
the acme OF wisdom according to our
high lights; but it has been continually
tinkered with ever since
One result of the tinkering has been
that sections II7g and 1850 contradict each
other, Before section 11S0 was amended,
money could be lent by contract In writ
ing at 10 per cent, yet 1t was often lent
at 4 per cent. Since the amendment re-
ferred to was adopted. the interest rate
has been higher. The effect of the
amendment to section 11SO has been such
as 10 render it uncertain whether IL or
section lli9 governs; and no man can tell
until the courts have a chance to guess
at t.
This bill seems to be identical with the
one the District Commissioners are TO
hold an inquest over on Monday, with a
slight change from per cent contained

PEELED to work on Sunday should be
granted another day of rest In each
week?
The California State law provides that
10 man shall be compelled TO work more
than six days Of the week. but does not
specify any particular day Of rest. At
the recent hearings before the Senate
subcommittee two or three of the
.Seventh-day Adventists, as well as Prof
EcCles. who represented the Secular
League, favored a law Of this kind and
IL was also favored by a representative
of the Central Labor Union. Would not
the California law be an ideal solution
Of the problem presented by this and
other Sunday bills now before Congress?
Why should it not answer the reason
able requirements of all concerned? It
would meet the objections of those who
are opposed TO Sunday laws on the
ground that they violate the constitu-
tional limitations respecting the estab-
lishmsnt Of a religion.
Under such a law, the Seventh day
Adventists and the Orthodox Jews. who
refrain from labor on Saturday, would
be free to engage In quiet labor on Sun
day. The man who thinks 1t a religious
duty TO 60 fishing or take a long bicycle
trip on Sunday would be free to do so.
The grocers and butchers realizing that
they must grant their employees one days
rest in seven, would naturally agree to
close up on Sunday rather than any
other day in the week Under such
law, the orthodox Christians would not
be interfered with in the observance Of
Sunday as a day of religious worship
and restful quiet
Why cannot the ministerial associa-
ton, the labor unions, the secularists,
the Seventh-day people. and all good
citizens unite on a measure like the
California law, and thus put an end to
the perennial agitation for Sunday laws
in the District? Sectarian and individual
preferences should be subOrdinated 70 the
general welfare. Let us all be reason
able WAf. D. MACKENZIE.

Advice to the Negroes.

Editor The Washington Herald:
Come now, and let us reason to-
gether." saith the good Book The very
eloquent speech IN behalf Of the colored
soldiers, bordering upon the rights Of
all American citizens alike, will live
long; and even the echo of that speech
viii answer back in the distance yonder
for centuries after Senator Forakers
lifes work is done And the little coll
ored babies, yet unborn. will some day
rise up and call his name blessed. For
through his untiring efforts, the dismissed
eolored soldiers may yet be able to join
in the chorus with the rest Of the pa
triotic American citizens and sing,
Ny country, It's OF thee.
Sweet land OF liberty.
But there is another side of this great
question-one that should arrest the
earnest attention Of all Of the eolored
men who are trying to lead their people.
1t should be the aim Of every thinking
negro TO make more friends and less
enemies among his white neighbors. If
he has 100 friends among the whites, he
should strive to add as many more as
possible. On the other hand, If he has
100 enemies. he should strive to make
the number less. &c. There are a goodly
number of colored people who look upon
President Roosevelt as the enemy of the
entire race. But. judging from what the
President has done for the uplifting of the
colored people during his administra-
ton, ! hardly think this view Is justified.
I very we'll remember that about the
first great speech President Roosevelt
made. after he became President, ne de-
nOunced the lynching Of the colored cit
liens Of this country in the most bitter
terms. Now, since it is a well-knOwn
fact to all that the cOiored citizens OF
this country have the friendship Of Sen
ator Foraker-which naturally means
that they also have the sympathy of
the Senator'S friends-they should leave
no stone unturned to capture two more
OF the strong gentlemen. whom some OF
them regard as the enemy. viz: Theo-
dore Roosevelt and William II. Taft. Ny
advice TO the negro is to capture these
two powerful men, and make them his
friends. It is a trifie too soon for the
negro TO go out hunting for trouble He
has enough OF that already. If the col
oTed people are wise, they must know
that the President and MIR. Taft COM
bined can do them lots more harm than
Senator Foraker alone, can do them
good.
There are some negroes who are talk
ing about topping over to the Democratic
party in case certain Republicans are
nominated at the national convention

while. It is true there are some good
men IN the Democratic ranks. but that

although. of course, the banks kept open
on Friday and Saturday. and in this
period both the market for securities
and affairs in the general business world
seemed TO content themselves with doing
little more than remaining on a pretty
nearly even keel
The period was the dullest that has
been seen in the financial district this
year. and il was so not merely on account
Of the approaching long stock exchange
holiday which led TO a great deal Of alb
senteeism on the part Of professional
market operators, but because OF the
many conflicting elements In the finan-
eial situation at the moment which seem
10 perplex and confuse the majority Of
people a S 20 the immediate trend Of mar
ket values.
About the only feature OF the stock
market IN the week was the revival Of
speculation for the advance in a large
number OF the low-prieed and minor
grade industrial stocks. coupled also with
a display Of strength continued from the
preceding week in the local traction
shares. The buying of the class of stocks
first named was not commonly regarded
as an encouraging symptom. For many
Of these stocks there has been for
long time really no market, and although
IT was found easy 10 cause by manipula
ton d sharp advance in quotations for
them. these higher values quickly dis
appeared under the offerings of actual
stock made by holders who had long
been waiting tor such an opportunity
More Substance Back of IL.
There was undoubtedly more substance
behind the rise in the traction stocks.
and there is a widely prevailing impress
sion that although some of these passen-
ger railway systems must undergo reor-
ganizatiOn, yet that there is more OF
equity in their shares than has been pop
Ularly imagined and manifestiy the
position Of all these companies viii be
improved by the doing away either. in
whole or in part with the giving of
transfers, a step whose necessity is now
generally conceded.
There are two great sustaining forces
in the security market just now, the
abundance of mony, which allows stocks
TO be carried with the charges for the
accommodation reduced to a minimum.
and the great amount Of liquidation that
has taken place in the last six months.
These conditions may not be such as to
stimulate any great amount of actual
new buying OF stocks. Practically all
OF the money that is now borrowed by
the Wall street commission houses is call
money, and it is a understood maxim
that no permanent advance in the stock
market can ever be engineered by the
help OF funds OF this description alone
