COLORED VOTERS
TO SUPPORT G. O. P.
Ralph Tyler Heads Committee
to Advise National Chairman.

Talk of the detection of the negro
voters from the ranks of the Republi-
can party seems to have been founded
on only a slight basis, according to re-
cent developments.
Ralph Tyler, colored Republican
of Columbus, Ohio. and auditor for
the navy in the Treasury Depart
ment at Washington says that he has
been chosen chairman of committee
of seven prominent men in his race to
confer with the chairman of the Re-
publican National Committee as soon
as he shall have been selected.
The colored committees plan is to
try to persuade the national COM
mittee to establish headquarters in
Chicago which shall look after the
colored vote exclusively. These head
quarters. according to the present
plan, will be separate and distinct
from the other headquarters and be
conducted by colored men through
out.
The men on the colored committee
are chiefly from the middle West,
where the negro vote is a big factor.
This development shows that many
of the negroes, if not all of them, will
end by sticking to the Republican
banner. in spite of the threats which
were made in Chicago before the con-
vention that the entire race would be
found enlisted under the Democratic
standard next November.
The editor of the REPORTER formed
the acquaintance of Auditor Tyler
when in Washington some weeks ago
and we know him to be bright edi-
tor and successful political organizer
who will doubtless be a strong force as
chairman of committee to show to
the colored race that their greatest
benefactions as a people come from
the Republican party today, and will
continue to come from that party in
the future, the same as they did in
the days of Abraham Lincoln.
The work of Mr.. Tyler's committee
will naturally be followed with great
interest all over the country.

BE CHARITABLE WITH
THE EDITOR

The editor of a local paper is often
unjustly censured for his mistakes.
The wonder is that he does not make
more of them. On the average paper
he must deal with all kinds of sub
jects, give the names, dates, etc. One
hour he may be engaged in reporting a
religious meeting and the next draw
ing the picture of fight. He must
condense and fill with his items
several columns, whether events are
transpiring to throw up material for
his use or not. Count the local items
in a paper and imagine how many
steps they have required, how much
mental anxiety, worry and work they
have cost and some idea of the editors
work can be gathered. The smallest
may have cost him long walk and
much effort to reach the facts. There
is no end to his work. When one
paper goes to press he turns his at
tention to the next one. He makes
the rounds in search of news and may
not get line, From some he must
get news without their knowing it.
drawing them into conversation and
obtaining what he wants in sections.
He may labor for hours in chasing
down a rumor only to find that there
is nothing in it. His local columns
stare him in the face and demand to
be filled not with skim milk but with
cream Of the news events and matters
of interest. His bounds are limited
and yet he must find in each day and
all through the week, month and year
something of interest to the public.
No more perfect treadmill could be
devised. With such constant
strain, producing WEAKNESS of the
body and mind and an almost endless
variety of subjects to be touched up
on. is it surprising that he should oc-
casionally make a mistake? Other
people do, why shouldn't an editor?
