Cornell Scientist Compares football
to BulI.raiting and Prize Fighting.

Ithaca, N. Y.-Burt G.. Wilder, the
Cornell scientist, attacked football
again, advocating its adjustment.
While he declared that the recent
casualty had no particular influence
on his mind, he hoped the views Of
other men might be changed.
He said he would rather encourage
bull-baiting and prize fighting than
football on the ground that resultant
deaths would help the community.
He used n of his favorite terms,
calling football a relic of barbarism.

Why No Action Was Taken on
Haytien Situation.

New York, March 9.-What pur-
ports to be the views of Theodore
Roosevelt of the attitude of the United
States concerning Hayti, as expressed
during his Observation-Disclosures on
Dec. 4 last, is contained in a special
cable despatch to the Herald from
Kingston, Jamaica quoting a letter
which MIR. Roosevelt wrote to the ne
gro question.
In the letter Mr. Roosevelt, then
president, is quoted in part as fol
lows, with reference to the recent
trouble in the black republic:
Il do not think that we shall inter-
vene in Hayti. Of course we ought to,
but this people of ours simply do not
understand how. things are outside our
own boundaries. of course | do not
desire to act unless | can get the bulk
OF our people to understand the sit
uation and to back up the action. and
to do that l have to get facts wildly
before them and clearly before them
In Panama, Cuba, Santo Domingo
and Puerto Rico it needed months or
years OF preparation before We could
get our people to see things straight.
and tie worst OF it is that educated
northeasterns are not merely blinded,
but often malevOlently blind, to what
goes on.
I'VE ought to have interfered in
Venezuela again and again during last
seven years. We ought to have inter.
fered in Central America and Hayti.
In all three places we ought now to do
something of the same kind that we
are doing in Cuba, Santo Domingo OF
Panama. according to the exigencies
of the case. But Americans simply
we're not alive to the situation"

THE UNITED STATES.

It is related from Washington, d.
c., that the Japanese are permitted to
do many things in the United States
that the citizen of this country can not
do in Japan. For instance, no American
children are permitted in the public
schools of Japan, and yet Japan threat
ened war against the United States if
the citizens of San Francisco and OF
California enacted into law the bill pro-
viding for the exclusion of Japanese
from the public schools for white chill
dren in California.
This is one of the privileges of Japan
secured by threats which led President
Roosevelt to NEEDLE in the affairs of a
sovereign State.
However, such privileges are not con-
fined to Japan. In NJ nation is there
accorded such degree of liberty or
license of expression and of action, even
to the limit of criminal utterances and
to plots against the government.
The issue between Japan and the
United States is simply: "Can the Jap
anese be excluded from the schools pro-
vided for white children?"
The answer may be: "Are the Japan
csc white, or rather are they of the Cau-
casian racer"
AS they are not and are Mongolians,
they should be separated, as are the
African who are excluded from the
schools assigned for white children, the
children Of those of the Caucasian race.

NAVY YARDS OF THE SOUTH

NAVY YARDS OF THE SOUTH
The latest announcement from Wash
ington, D. c., is that the order direct
ing the closing of the navy yards in
Pensacola, Fla, and in New Orleans
has been rescinded.
In this order, issued by order OF
Mr.. Roosevelt, great wrong has been
righted. Indeed, it is not possible to
estimate the great injustice, the material
damage that would be inflicted, through
an edict of the rankest sectional parti-
sanship. Not only was this order in
direct contravention of the intent OF
Congress which has provided -appropria-
lions for these yards, but it was based
on misstatement of facts, which it is
fair to assume misled Mr.. Roosevelt
into this act of injustice.
Fortunately through the prompt &C
ton of the senator's and the representa-
tives of the State of Louisiana and of
Florida in Congress, the navy yards at
New Orleans and Pensacola will not be
disturbed. Nor will other navy ards in
the South suffer from any partisan, I'M
fair and untruthful reports of persons
having selfish interests to serve.

BURNED AT THE STAKE.

Rockwell, Texas has experienced the
horrifying excitement of the burning of
negro at the stake Friday. The ne
gro, Anderson Ellis, had attempted a
criminal assault on Mrs. Arthur, Nc
Kinney, farmers wife, whose husband
was not at home. As she walked in her
yard she was seized by Ellis, but she
fought him desperately and her screams
for help frightened him and he fed.
Having been pursued and captured, he
confessed his intent. He was burned
IN the court house square in the pres
ence Of thousand people. Such pun
ishment is horrible and may be con-
demned with frenzy by sentimentalists
of the North, where from reports by
telegraph assault on and the ravishing
Of white women are frequent and which
scarcely receive attention.
II such crime is tolerated in the
North, where the offender when tried
and convicted, receives mild sentence,
and IS encouraged in his deviltry, in the
South it demands the swiftest punish
me,1t, which is, as rule with very rare
exceptions, inflicted by the populace.
Il may be conceded that there is a
great divergence Of opinion, a chasm
dividing the North and the South on
tins question Of lynching for an assault
% woman, but that is the Southern
man's way Of protecting women from
the poliuting touch of . negro wretch
rho has -forfeited every consideration
for sympathy or clemency.
Preceding the burning of Anderson
Ellis, negro. Viii Clark, who had har-
bored the fugitive and declined to as
sist IN his arrest, was lynched. Clark's

aroes should heed.

Pleased With Inaugural Address
of New President.
CONCURS IN NAVAL PLAN.

Cannot Entertain Idea of Restriction as
Principle, but Not Opposed to II
Temporarily to Prevent Excitement
and Irritation.
Toxic, March 9.-Count Okuma, for
mer president of the Progressive party
has written a signed article for the
Tokio-Mainichi, in which he unre-
servedly praises President Taft for
his policy as embodied in his inaugu-
raj address,
In regard to that portion of the ad-
dress dealing with the treaty rights of
aliens Okuma says il would be mat
ter for universal rejoicing should the
delicate relations between federal and
state constitutions be adjusted in a
manner thoroughly compatible with
the national credit and honor and
standing of the United States as a
highly civilized power. In respect to
naval program as laid down in the in
duSui di spettH CCltIll profess 10 luilv
concur. He writes that President
Taft believes such an outcome is the
unavoidable demand OF the times and
ridiaules the idea that it is directed
against JAPAN He assets that this
idea is gross misrepresentation of
both Japan and the United States,
which believe equally that a strong
navy is the best guarantor of peace
Regarding immigration the count
cannot entertain the idea of restlic-
ton as principle but he is unopposed
to it as temporary measure for pre-
venting unnecessary excitement and
irrita pm when Japan is unfortunate
ly the object of unwarranted sus-
picion'
In conclusion he says 'Janan's
real motive was proved on the oc
casion of the visit OF the fleet and
now it is understood fully by the es-
timable Americans. Local anti-.Japan-
ism is not of serious concern and will
disappear when they cease to he
