CLEAN OUT THE DIVES.

A short item in one of the daily
newspapers of Wednesday, stated that
two policemen raided one of the Col.
lege street saloons and arrested fifteen
persons. Ten of them were colored
men, two were white men and three
were colored women. The officers made
the raid just in time to prevent what
is known in the locality OF the saloon
as a rough house" In other words
one OF the habitues of the place had be-
come intoxicated and proceeded to
start fight.
The officers making the arrest did
their duty and if public servants are
to be thanked for rendering services
for which they are paid, they deserve
the thanks Of the city. But whyawait
the beginning OF q fight to raid dives?
Why allow big crowds of base men
and lewd women to congregate in
such places? Is there not law in
our statutes that prohibits women
from visiting and congregating in sa-
looms? Is there any reason why these
communicating dives and their wine
rooms cannot be kept clean of the low
classes which infest them and prey
on honest, Woodworking laborers? If
Mayor Brown has reason why he
can not change this state of affairs we
would like to hear it.

The Atlanta Independent charges
that when the Hon. w. T. Vernon
spoke during the meeting of the B.
M. c. of the Odd Fellows at Atlantic
City, he addressed an audience of not
more than seventy-fve. This apathy
upon the part of the Negro to listen to
representatives of the administration
should awaken the chairman of the
National Committee Negroes, who
are afraid to criticize Mr.. Roosevelt
for the mistakes he has made, on ac-
counts of their jobs, can not lead the

COMMUNICATION.
Foraker Defends Himself.

10 Inc NASHVILLE Globe:
Over against the oft repeated say
ing that all the world loves a lover"
let us set one of equivalent fitness,
that courageous world respects and
admires brave and conscien-
tiouS man who eSpouses the cause of
the oppressed and manfully contends
against overwhelming odds. History
has furnished some splendid examples
Of such men-heroes in every sense of
that term. The one man of these lat
ter times to which 100000 people,
with the exception of a small and
countable minority, point with Just
pride and gratitude is Joseph Benson
Foraker, who is now being prosecuted
because he had the courage to beard
the lion Of power in the White House
and tell him to his clinched teeth,
You have done grave and serious
wrong"
Mr.. Foraker was never forgiven for
his valiant defense Of those brave men
who had been so outrageously wronged
His arch enemies have kept on still
hunt for something with which to cast
aspersions on him, blacken his record
and kill him politically. So when
Hearst came from his den of yellow
journalism with his accusations, Mr..
Forakers enemies clapped their hands,
threw their ready caps into the air and
exclaimed, with sort of wild and
maddening glee, as did Shylock, 1--WE
have him now upon the hip, and We'll
feed fat the ancient grudge we bear
him"
The President lost no time in dis
seminating the Hearst charges. While
this was an unseemly thing for the
President of the United States to do,
yet so eager was he to get revenge
on the man who had shown him up to
all the world so disparagingly with
reference to his unjust treatment of
the soldiers, that he forgot his high
station and all presidential dignity to
sling the Hearst mud. He has made
first-rate singer; but whether
will hurt Mr. Foraker most or the Re
publican party remains to be seen.
Mr.. Foraker, in answering the at
tack upon him, quotes Mr.. Taft as fol-
lows:
"As to the Brownsville matter, Mr..
Taft says, speaking of me: He has
seized upon and magnified an impor-
taDt and incidental matter to embar-
rass the administration using in this
without scruple blind race prejudice
to accomplish his main purpose.
Mr.. Foraker, in continuing his com
ment on what Mr. Taft had to say with
reference to him and the Brownsville
affair, says some very significant
things, which should not be lost sight
of my Negro people,
Should not the Negro press through
out the country give their moral sup
port to Mr.. Foraker in this evil hour
when his enemies are endeavoring to
overwhelm him because of his heroic
magnificent and successful defense of
the Negro soldiers? Should they not
express their confidence in him as
one of the noblest of Americans? For
he served the Negro people in an ac-
ceptable way at one of the most criti-
cal periods OF their history.

The "night-riders," who ran things
with a high hand in Kentucky and
Tennessee until few of them were
killed, have now begun their opera
lions in other states. A report comes
from Georgia that a band of night
riders passed through a section of
country composed of three counties,
destroying churches and school houses.
From other states come reports that
cotton ginners have been warned not
to gin any cotton until so ordered
Since the killing of a night rider near
GAINESVILLE the depredations of the
band have not been so frequent in
that district. The GAINESVILLE treat
ment, though drastic, is the proper
one, and every time a might rider
puts in disappearance he should be
blown into eternity.

We rejoice at the downfall of C. N
Haskell, Governor of Oklahoma. He
is an opportunist, a demagogue. He
was willing to advocate and do any.
thing to gain his desired ends. It
is well remembered with what vehem.
ence he, Northerner, appealed to his
Southern constituents in the demo
cratic party to put Jim crow car
section in the Oklahoma Constitution.
The Constitutional Convention finding
that its work would not be ratified at
Washington, left the provision out.
But Haskell, whose reputation as a
sharper, financial trickster, has been
thoroughly aired, knew human nature.
He knew what would catch the voters
who had immigrated from the South
ern states, hence he demanded that
the first law passed should be a "jim
crow car" law. Haskells downfall is
but another illustration that a mans
sins will find him out.

FORAKER DEFENSE.

Senator Joseph B. Foraker, in his
letter defending himself against the
charges made by William R. Hearst
and answering the vicious attack
made by President Roosevelt, shows
himself to be the same valiant
fighter that has always dared, in
the past, to measure lances with
any foe, who might attack him.
His reply, likewise, has put a quietus
upon some of those, who for political
effect or personal hatreds, have &C
cused him of venality.
With Mr.. Foraker's defense before
the public to be compared with Mr..
Hearst's charges, it would appear that
those who readily condemned the Sen
ator from Ohio, were hasty in drawing
their conclusions. There is nothing
, in the correspondence, now that the
other side has been heard from, to
show that the relations between the
Standard Oil Company and Mr.. For
aker were other than those that might
be freely entered into by any reputable
attorney.
At the time the Foraker letters were
written by Mr.. Archbold, it was not
crime to be a corporation lawyer, as
Mr.. Foraker has pointed out, but rath-
er the reverse. 1t was known that
corporations sought and secured only
the best talent and a mans appoint
ment to represent one of them was
considered a recognition of ability by
men who are supposed to be experts in
separating the precious metal of
competence from the droth of medi-
ocracy.
The reply to the vicious and coward
ly attack of Mr.. Roosevelt, was so hot
that for once in his life the mighty
letter writer in the White House has
found himself unable to reply. For
once the boss of the party, the at" of
the campaign is non-plussed. The "let-
ter writer in chief" in his eagerness to
hit man, who had dared to have opin-
ions, which later events have proven
were correct, made the mistake of Civ
ing out letter of Mr.. Taft, which
opens the Brownsville affair "For
once in mig life recognize that have
made mistake in my haste in coming
to the defense Of nly candidate and nly
policies" the President must think
even if his bull-headedness will not
permit him to acknowledge his error.
Whether the letters of Messrs.
Roosevelt and Foraker will turn Ohio
into the democratic column cannot be
foreseen, but two things are certain:
(1) Roosevelt's letter will lose votes
for Taft, and ~ If Fighting Joe"
Foraker is eliminated by the admins
tration, It will be after a fight that will
disrupt the whole party In Ohio.

It's a pity that some of the preach
politicians, like the Rev. Reverdy G.
Ransom, of New York, can not take
cue for the two leading presidential
candidates and cease making political
harangues on Sunday, In fact it
would rebound more to the interest of
the race if all the "big preachers"
bishops, etc., would devote more of
their time to spreading the influence
OF the churches they represent, rather
than travelling over the country boost
