the streets. But II black soldiers are
not to be called out In sucn emerxsu-
cies, why have them?
One fact-Our white people may
just as well face now as later-that
about three-ffths of the reported
rapes Of white women by black men,
are cases of caught, or fear of ca
posure. Much information floats
around from one to another in regard
to this matter as sub rosy" which
the public press win not recognize,
though the same about any other sub
ject will be given. White women
form armours or liasons with black
men just as white men do with black
women. 1t is idle to shut our eyes
to this, and kill Negroes and burn
houses. A man viii debauch his
neighbours wife, but when he dIscov-
ers that the neighbor has also de-
bauched his wife, he replies with
murder. II the neighbor be a black
man, the white man will call a mob
and kill all the black men he can
reach. This lecherous miscegenation
will continue in spite Of mobs and
murder. The, only hopeful remedy
is to teach people to restrain their
animal passions.
Let us think a moment-only a mo-
ment about this raping tendency. Not
a Negro In the United States but
knows that he is doomed If caught
raping a white woman, or even
strongly charged with it. But women
sometimes tempt men, then fight |
their advances, really desiring to be
overcome. When this occurs with a
Negro he is liable to be in the atti-
tude of rape. This is much more
than really honest, chaste
people are apt to believe.
In my limited acquaintance l have
known five white women to voluntar-
lily live with black men. Three
Of them ultimately married. Two
were raised by democratic fathers.
One 1 will describe as the case was
80 remarkable. She was a niece OF
4 Democratic Congressman; was a
graduate of the city high school of
Indiana, had a handsome
lace and figure, was married to a
working man (white), had a nice lit
lie two-year old daughter. Because Of
her Illicit side loves, her husband LETT
her. She then took up with large
.hree quarter Negro, one-eighth IN
lian and one eighth white, a dan
yerous man to quarrel with. She was

when he came to take her away, but ]

She and her husband were induced to
cave together, and they left that part ,
" the country. In addition to these {

THE ANGEL OF PEACE HAS ROLLED THE CLOUDS AWAY
HITCHCOCK BUSY
 WITH SPEAKERS

Chicago, August 31.-Senator Joseph M. Dixon of Montana was today ap- pointed by Chairman Hitchcock of the republican national committee as the director of the speakers bureau of the Chicago headquarters. The long ser vice of Senator Dixon as a member of the House of Representatives and later of the United States Senate has equipped him for this position for the u9alifca ations. of members Of Congress for active campaigning. He has a wide acquaintance also among leaders of the republican party In the western states, who will be called upon to fill speak ing engagements.
 Chairman Hitchcock began his pres- ent conferences today within 10 min utes after he reached the city from New York. He had breakfast on the train and proceeded directly to the headquarters in the Harvester building and disposed of large amount of bus mess brought before him by Secretary Hayward and other officials of the western campaign force He conferred also with Senator Dixon and Fred c. Upham the assistant treasurer of the national committee
 The question of providing a speaker of national importance to address fne republican state convention at Spring field on September was brought to MT. Hitchcock's attention by State Chairman West. The Illinois leaders wanted Mr. Taft, Gov. Hughes, Secre- tary Root, or MT. Sherman, the can diate for Vice President, but none of those men was available so early In the campaign.
 It was announced today that MT. Sherman would make his first campaign speech in this city, probably before the Hamilton club, on September 2S He will continue speaking in the state for the next three days.
 Senator Hemingway and State Chair man James P. Goodrich of Indiana were callers at the republican headquarters today. The former expressed the opin- ion that Indiana would give from 25,000 to 50,000 majority for Taft and Sher- man, and that the entire state ticket would be carried by the republicans.

Head of Republican Speakers
 Bureau Under Fire
HE IS 4 TRUST ORGANIZER
Prominent Republican Lawyer De- nands That Powder Trust Maqnate Quit As He Will Work Harm
 to the Campaign.

Washington, August 1.-(Special)-A T. Coleman DuPont, as a member of the republican national committee, on the ground that his connection with an indi- cated trust units him for the place, is made today by Alfred O. Crosier, prom inent republican lawyer, and author of the recent anti-Wall street novel, The Magnate"
 Crosier insists that his action was in- spired solely by the belief that DuPont is menace to the party. His demand takes the form of an open letter to Pres ident Roosevelt in which he says, in part: ''The selection of General T. c. DuPont as member of the republican national executive committee and as director-in- chief of the speakers bureau of the cam paign, Is menace to the success of the ticket.
 ITO put the president and organizer of one of the most powerful of all trusts at the head of the entire speaking cam paign with complete authority to tell the orators what to say, is grotesque in view of the platform declarations of our party respecting trusts but when this very trust is now in court charged with law breaking and General T. Coleman Du- Pont and United States Senator Henry A. DuPont are both joined as defend- s-nts,. the appointment must seem ridu- culous
 This campaign, before it is over. will largely center around discussion of male- factions of greas iwealth--those who, with artificial panics ard margin gambling that totals $30,000.000000 annually, trust organizers and railroad manipulators are eating alive the progress and prosperity of the people.
 How important, then, that our party organization and campaign be purged in it's management of all such 'malefac- tors" for the people this year are think ing with eyes and ears wide open.
 '"rhe case against the powder trust is set for hearing before election. The gov- ernment thinks it has sufficient evidence to sustain a very serious charge. What will be the effect of the disclosures be- fore election? If the case is postponed until after election it will cause belief that an immunity bath is in preparation as a reward for the service being per formed in this campaign by the head of that trust.
 No doubt General DuPont will with draw from all official connection with the campaign and party organization if the impropriety of the situation is called to his attention" w. s.

comes, and to aggravate the case still more, the appropriations which unfairly oppress the farmers are spent in the cities, so that the farmer enjoys few in- direct benefits from the appropriations and scarcely any direct benefits.
 Reasons for Extravagance.
 ''Why is it that the republican party is so much more extravagant than the democratic party in the expenditure of public money? There are two reasons
 First because the republican leaders are more intimately associated with the tax eaters than with the tax payers They hear the hungry clamor of the men who spend more than they do the pro- tests of the masses who contribute rev. enues.
 But there is a second reason. The republican leaders have taught the doc Urine that taxation is an unalloyed good They have tried to cultivate a public opinion to support the idea that tariff taxes on the theory that even when not needed for revenue are a direct advan- tage to the protected interests and an indirect advantage to the whole coun- try It is not strange that people who consider taxation blessing would be inclined to make the blessing as large as possible.
 'The democratic party is in a position to bring reforms in the matter of ex- pendtures. It believes that a tax is defensble only when necessary and that it should be reduced to the lowest limits consistent with good government. Our party is pledged to reduction in appro- priations and to economy in every de- partment of government and our position ought to appeal with special force to those of our population who are engaged in agriculture"

VISIT OF BIG FLEET.
Melbourne Papers Regret Tameness of
 Reception.

London, September IA special dis patch to The Times from Melbourne ex- presses regret that the festivities in hon. or of the Americans are practically 8 duplicate of the fetes at Sydney. They even compare somewhat unfavorably with these, especially because they come last when the principals, both American and Australian, practically have been satuated.
 The Times correspondent remarks also that it Is becoming apparent that both Sydney and Melbourne treated tho American officers and men in some way as rather spectacle than as guests, and thought more of their own pleasure than of the comfort of the visitors. Still, the correspondent adds, the spectacular dis play has it's valuable uses in impressing the masses, who will remember the sight for years and will draw political deduc- tions therefrom, so visitors have been sacrificed in a good cause.
 The Chronicles Melbourne correspon- dent on the other hand, thinks that Mel bourne's welcome was more national in tone than Sydney's greetings and that the entire demonstrations eclipse the fes- tivties held in connection with the visit of the Prince of Wales.

He declared that the recent legislation

and party organization were not as yet
