HOSANNAS AND. ANATHE-
MAS,

From the South African Spectator.
From the Hosannas, to cruelty HIM,
is with the practical Americans, an easy
transition, and is determinable largely
by the subtle influence of the Almighty
and the recipient of the adulatory ac-
claims today may become the victim OF
the popular indignation tomorrow. 1t
is related of President Roosevelt that
on being congratulated some time ago
by a friend on the popularity he had
attained, he predicted that should a pc
riod of hard times visit the country he
would be the most unpopular of presi-
dents. And the prediction would ap-
pear TO be on the threshold of fulfil
iaent Already a number of newspa-
pers are attacking him, one attributes
his saying as having turned on the
light to the egotism of a very ag-
gressive nature" Others are no less
outspoken and to the verge of brutal
plainness, all being excited by the fnan-
cial panic which followed the expos
ures of the President, and it would now
appear that his decision that he would
under no circumstances accept the nom
inatiOn for a third time, was dictated
by the ripest of wisdom, for Roosevelt
as president in 1908 is an impossibility.

committees will be fairly representative
bodies, and they will give all kinds Of
Republicans, black and white, reason
able representation on the State COM
mittees. The administration will have
no trouble in inducing the conventions
to place upon the State committees the
very best Republicans there are in the
States, and there IS no Southern State
in which there are not Republicans good
enough for State committee, if they
are encouraged to go to the State con-
vention, and to accept places upon the

SENATOR CHANDLFR,S PLAN.

March 10, 1908 - Memorandum
About Southern Politics.
The condition of things at the South
nomination made in 1908, as AIr. Hanna
so far as the Republican party is con-
cerned is unsatisfactory, and there is
great dissatisfaction on me part of the
Southern Republicans with the Admin
istration. Without specifically stating
the reasons for that dissatisfaction, or
considering whether they are Just OF
unjust, there is a very simple remedy
which should be applied, and none 9th
er will answer the purpose.
The habit of selecting two or three
men in a Southern State as referees
who shall control the whole Federal
patronage within the State is intolerable
to the mass of the Republicans be that
mass few or many. 1t is unbearable
when the persons selected to act as ref
erees are Democrats.
There should be substituted for this
unwi,e system the recognition in each
State of the Republican State commit
tee. This should &c a large commit
tee - not less than fifty, sometimes as
many as 100. The administration should
recognize in making appointments ma
jority of this committee, or may well
require a two-thirdt majority. The
whole committee need not, by a vote of
a majority or two-thirds of its members,
decide upon each Of its recommenda-
tons; it may appoint an executive COM
mlttee, which will make ther ecom-
mendations, but this executive commit
tee must itself be the honest product
OF a majority or two-thirds vote of
the whole committee, which must feel
entirely free at any time to assemble
and give directions to its executive com
mittee

HONOR TO Mr.. WASHINGTON

From the Buxton Gazette.
The editor of the Washington Bee
has suggested that the colored people
of this country should tender to Dr.
Booker T. Washington a testimonial by
a public demonstration in Convention
Hall in Washington next May.
We believe that the idea is a good
one and that if carried out in the proper
spirit it will result in good for the
race.
Dr. Washington does not need it or
desire it for any personal advantage.
His fame is world wide and his cup Of
honor is full to overhowing. His work
stands on the solid rock of its own
worth and merit. He is not seeking
those things that find expression only
in vani.y and notoriety.
But the race which he represents does
need TO recognize the leadership of
man that has worked so wisely in their
behalf We need to show to the world
that we will follow a sensible and con-
servative leader DR.. Washington now
stands for a cause that is greater than
himself - the cause of human progress
for all men - and 1t is to this cause
that we lend our aid when We honor
the man who is today one of its most
earnest a:d effective advocates.

NO NEED OF PLAN IN 1904

NO NEED OF PLAN IN 1904.
There was no occasion to use the
convenient power thus deliberately or
ganized in the National Convention of
1904, because there was no contest
therein over the presidential nomina-
ton If there had been a contest, the
exercise by few men of the control
of the Southern delegates in limitation
of Mr.. Hanna's plan of 1890 would have
been resisted, and the prediction made
by me of contests in nearly all the
Southern States would have been full
filed.
1t has been reserved for period four
years later to see the legitimate, logical,
and necessary result of the policy Of
destroying Republican organization in
the Southern States. 1t is a question
that has been weighing upon me since
1896, and the time came as / thought,
for me to speak, whether my finuhence
might be much or little. I was bound
to do this, whateer my feelings might

Why is the colored press so 81
lent on these discriminations?
Why should colored Americans
seek company that discriminates
against them2 Throughout the
South the lily white oficeholders
are against colored Republicans and
are doing all in their power to
eliminate them from active par
ticipation in politics.
If there is any manhood in col
ored Americans they should dem
onstrate it. They should not al
low themselves to be used and
then cast aside like so much trash.
The colored vote in the coming
election will be needed. The black
man in the South has a duty to
perform and he should perform
it without fear or favor.
Today Douglass and Langston
are needed. Negro leadership of
today is cowardly to some. extent.
The recent meeting of the bish-
ops showed conclusively that the
eyes of colored Americans are be-
ing opened slowly but surely.
The question now is, however, Is
the Negro needed?

WOULD AVOID PARTY SPLT

-
Under such a system as the above
there will be no splits in the Repubci-
can party of the South on delegates TO
the National Convention Or other mat
tiers.
The question at once arises. How
shall there be obtained a State commit
tee of from so to 100 which will be
so completely representative body that
its decisions will be submitted to by the
party in the State? Here, is where hte
power of the Administration should be
exerted: Instead of making appoint
ments according TO the recommendation
of two or three individuals, whether
Republicans or Democrats, selected by
the Administration, the State commit
tee should have the privilege of rec
ommendation, and the power of the
Administration should only be exerted
to secure an honest, and able commit
tee, which will fairly represent the Re
publican party of the State This pow
er of the Administration can be exerted
without creating friction. 1t would sell
dom be exerted, and would only slightly
be exerted at any time. The State con-
ventions which will appoint the State

is THE NEGRO WANTED?

Existing conditions seem to point
to the fact that the colored Am
erican IS not wanted in the Amer
ican body polite, so far as Republi-
cans are concerned. Cries come up
from the South that the lily white
oficeholders in that section have
Systematically organized against
colored Republicans. 1t also seems
that the Administration is doing
nothing to stop it. That being a
fact, it looks as if the Administra-
ton is a party to it.

AN UNUSUAL WAY
 OF BEATING BOARD BILL
The Star Boarder Left Expecting to Be Recalled.

Charles Wyatt, q carpenter who ar rived from Wickenburg night before last was arrested yesterday on a tele- gram from Wickenburg stating that he was wanted for jumping a board bill. When Wyatt was taken into custody he said that he was not surprised; he was rather expecting something like that to happen. He admitted that he owed the bill but he said there was another side to the case.
 He had for sometime been boarding with Mrs. Roberts who conducts an eating emporium at Wickenburg and he ate up all that was represented by eleven pie cards at the price of $7 each. But before he began on those meal tickets he had loaned Mrs. Roberts $I5 and had taken her note for it. That also is admitted by the other side and more over, Wyatt had the note to show for it.
 | Wyatt seems to have labOred under the misapprehension that he was eating against that note all the time. The note was given last September and was payable in a year from date.
 When Wyatt got ready to leave he told Mrs Roberts that he would pay | her the difference between the price of the meal tickets and the face of the note and they would then be square with each other and the whole world. But Mrs Roberts is a business woman. She insisted that her claim was due then and there while the note would not be due for nearly a year.
 With this misunderstanding Wyatt went away and that is why he rather thought that he would be arrested. It will perhaps be difficult to prove that
 he had intent to defraud his land lady and that is an essential thing.

JUDGMENT BY DEFAULT
 FOR THE DEFENDANTS
The End of the Injunction Suit of
 Bauer Against McQueen and Others.

Tn the case of Charles Bauer and
 others against Donald T. MQueen and A. c. MQueen the defendants were yesterday given judgment in district court for S350 by default The plain tiffs were not present either in person or by attorney. This is the aftermath
 of an injunction suit brought by the plaintiffs last July to restrain the de- fendants from allowing their cattle and other live stock to trampie down the
 borders of a ditch through which water was conveyed to the lands of the plain tiffs.
 The injunction was dissolved as soon
 as the facts in the case were presented
 to the court after the return of Judge
 Kent from the east, but for more than two months the injunction was in force; The damage complaint was a part of
 the answer of the defendants, the dam
 ages asked for being to compensate the. plaintiffs for the loss they had suffered
 by being deprived of a range of pastur- age that belonged to them. It was shown at the hearing that the ditch vas O. the 'burro" kind. That is in order tha. head of water might be forced to the higher pSrts of the plaintiffs land the ditch was con structed on top of the ground, it's sides being composed of a sandy soil through which the water easily escaped. An animal along the road crossing the ditch or going to it for drink was apt to leave an opening or an inch which in a few minutes under a full head of water would become a crevasse of | twenty-five feet or more. It was said that even dog crossing the sides of the ditch was liable to break it. It
 was not shown that the stock of the defendants had ever interfered with the ditch

A defective roof directly over the center of the main piano department sprung a leak and the water fell on half dozen of the finest pianos water marking the piano cases seriously. MT. Redewill estimates the loss at about $500. A few years ago the roof to the old Gibson stable. then belonging to MT. Redewin, was blown off by a small cyclone and it cost in the neighborhood of $500 to replace it. At that time MT. Redewill was advised to take out some cyclone insurance. It seems that some Marine insurance would also be advis- able for some of the Redewill proper ties.
