PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT.
SATURDAY, MARCH %, 1908.
DEMENTIA AMERICANA.

Of course there is not the slightest
hope Of curing that special form of
dementia Americana which mani
tests itself in the insane desire of
American heiresses to marry titled
foreigner, but it may be of some ben
eft to somebody to learn what kind
of reception awaited the former
Miss Vanderbilt when she arrived in
Hungary. The Evening Post gives
some of the items thus:
'''The ancestral castle has turned
out to be commonplace and crumb-
ling old farm house, not more inn
posing than some American barns.
in lieu Of the superb bathing appoint
ments of modern American houses,
this delicately reared New York girl
will find a wooden vat, into which
she will have to climb with the aid Of
ladder, when she finds its use nee
essary. There is no piped water in
the house. 1t is all 'toteT from a
we'll by servants. There are no gas
or electric lights, no telephone com,
munication with the outside world
The Post claims the poor cir
: should be pitied, but we regard thai
as a somewhat doubtful proposition

When the President Receives.

Among the unwritten sumptuary
laws of the American court" at
Washington is one that prescribes the
wearing of hat to presidential even
ing reception. Especially is the pune
tilio sartorial to be observed at the
diplomatic levee. Two oblivious fe-
males advancing the other night
toward the presidential presence
under weight Of millinery were held
up by, the maids and made to stand
and deliver their headgear. While
decolletage is not obligatory, it is the
proper caper. Yet even a shirt waist
and a skirt does crop up now and then
upon the horizon Of a White House
evening. The most dazzling buds are
always on view at the diplomatic and
the army and navy receptions. The
sartorial display is generally more
democratic at the two intermediate
functions, the judiciary and the con-
gressional Schoolgirls in large con-
signments are always accorded invita-
tons at the two latter. The White
House management endeavors to give
each new student at the capital an
opportunity to attend one levee during
bis or her sojourn there.

Monday the president received

Monday the president received a
delegation of prominent Afro-Ameri-
cans from the South, who came to
protest against the manner in which
the railroads are enforcing the sepa-
rate car, or Jim Crow law. They
claim that the railroads are not Civ
ing them the same comforts and ac-
commodations as the white people,
although they are compelled to pay
the same fare, and assert that this is
violation of the interstate COM
merce law. ..-.'
The delegation consisted of the
Rev. j. w. +. Bowen, president OF
the Cannon Theological Seminary
at Atlanta, Ga; DIR. R. E. Jones, ed
itor of the Southwestern Christian
Advocate, New Orleans; the Rev. C
c. Jacobs, field secretary of the
Freedman's Aid Society, Sumter, S
c.; DR.. I. Garland Penn, assistant
general secretary of the Epwortl7
League, Atlanta, Ga; the Rev. l. l.
Thomas, board of church extensions
Methodist Episcopal Church, Balti-
more, and many others.
The president received the visitors
cordially and promised to look into
the matter.

The Duluth Air Line.

For a year the hackers Of the Twin
City and Lake Superior electric line
project have been using the advertis
ing columns Of The Journal in solic-
iting the investing public's support.
The publicity given to the enterprise
has naturally given rise to the ques
ton: Is it feasible project on a
bona ide basis, and are all reasona-
bic safeguards, given to investors?
To answer these questions. Fred H.
Wendell, Of wendell & Green, the
Minneapolis public accountants, has
Just completed a thorough examina-
ton Of the books Of the company. 1t
was in the belief that a new short
line to the head of the lakes, operat-
ed by electricity, would, if realized,
be a god thing, and that the public
was entitled to all impartial and e:X-
pert examination of the enterprise in
question. that The Journal commits
stoned Mr. Wendell to undertake the
task. He was selected because of his
wcll-known qualifications for the
work, and because his standing in the
community insured his reporting the
facts, exactly as llieziound them.
Mr. Wendell has completed his ex-
animation and made his report to
The Journal. He finfids substantially
that tho project isssWisely conceived.
and logically laid out; that the COM
pany's affairs have been economically
administered in the interests Of the
individual investors; that every ia
cility was afforded him for a thor
ough examination, and that there is
not and has not been any opportunit
or disposition for stock-iobbing on
the part of the officers. After this
thorough examination, Mr.. Wendell
declares that he would not have the
slightest hesitation in investing his
own money in the projcct.-Minne-
apolis Journal.
1nasmuch as this paper has been
carrying the companys advertising
and IS doubtless responsible for many
purchases Of the company's stock by
reason OF the papers favorable COM
1nent from time to time, we repro
duce the article for the purpose of
reassuring the more skeptical that our
confidence Of the enterprise was in
no serse misplaced.

The Cuban Millionaire.

President Manuel Amador Of Panama
was reviewing the wonders of Coney
island.
"a remarkable place he said to a
reporter. II shall.never forget it. l
am reminded Of a joke they are telling
about a Cuban MILL
"An unfortunate man obtained access
to this millionaire and depicted his
wretched poverty in the most vivid and
moving colors. Indeed, SO graphic was
the visitors sad narrative that the
millionaire was very profoundly at
fected, and, summoning his servant, he
said, with tears in his eyes and voice
trembling with emotion:
John, put this poor fellow out into
the street. He is breaking my heart"

The New Orleans Picayune sa,

The New Orleans Picayune says:
"The Haitian government is dis
grace to civilization, demonstrating
clearly the inability of the black race
to conduct orderly administration Of
affairs when left to itself"
AS matter of fact, in spite of the
many obstacles, Haiti has maintained
a strong government for more than
one Hundred years and there is today
a more orderly administration of af-
fairs in Haiti than in Russia.
The Picayune would not dare sug-
gest that the United States interfere
in the affairs of Russia

WHERE IS THE FOOL KILLER?

Us the Negro population of SOUTH
Carolina improving?"
mo"
why not?"
Because the Negro is still in poll
tics and will never prosper until he
submits to the destiny that nature
intended for him and is satisfied to
remain mechanic, farmer, labor
err or a domestic. servant When he
comes to that submission, he will be
successful, prosperous, happy and
contented. But to secure those
blessings he must abandon sall idea
of political preferment, and even the
hope of sharing in the policies of this
country"
The foregoing specimen Of South
Carolina logic is from the brain of a
prominent banker of the city of Co
lumbia. According to his peculiar
idea the Afro-American is made mis-
cradle and disconnected by having
ministers of the gospel, teachers,
physicians and lawyers of his own
race. Let him get rid of these in
cun1brances, and consequently of So
cieties, schools and churches, and he
will be successful, prosperous, hap
py and contented." There is no asy
lum for the feeble-minded in South
Carolina, or that banker would not
be at large.

NOW ONLY FoRTY-DAY TRIP.
Jules Verne's Feat of Travel Reduced
hy One-half


: by One-HaIf. I'd
Many Of us marked an epoch for our.
selves when Jules Verne wrote Round
the World in Eighty Days." says Lon
don Spectator. Perhaps it was not
possible then to go round in eighty
days; the book would have been less
exciting to children if it had been
possible. But at all events it was
nearly possible and many OF us mark
ed down the epoch. How many people
could say off-hand to-day, however, to
what those eighty days have been re-
duced? writer, F. a. Mckenzie, tells
us that the journey can be done in
forty days aad that in comfortable
trains and ships, not BY the desperate
expedients of Jules Verne
We are told that the tickets cost
i only about 1925 second-class and s615
first-class. The journey is reckoned
In this way: London to Moscow, two
and one-half days; Moscow to Vladi-
vostok, thirteen days; Vladivostok to
Yokohama, two days; Yokohama to
London, via Vancouver, twenty-one
and one-half days; connections, one
day. The Russians understand the art
!, Of comfortable railway travelling; their
, carriages and buffets are models.

A Democratic newspaper congratu-
lates the Republicans because they
do not have to cater so much to the
Negro vote"
No, that is fact, since the Repub-
lican leaders in the South do not
have to try to carry any elections, or
in fact to do anything except scram-
Bic for Federal Offices, their func-
tons are very limited and they do
not have to cater to anybody. The
only exception is that they cater to
the Democratic party with the most
abject servility.
