ore Wednesday afternoon az the hotel
reducing her mother TO the verge of
distraction, her friends scurrying
around in all directions when il was
learned that Miss Myrtle was lost.
She had come in from long walk
with her mother and taken the key to
room 116, where she went to rest.
Mrs. Eivyn, who had followed her to
the room, could get no response to her
knocks, and on gaining access found it
empty. She notified the hotel people,
and said she feared her daughter had
been kidnapped, and systematic
search was made, and finally, after
two hours anxiety, the rooms were
searched. Miss Elvyn was found
peacefully slumbering in room 1O6.
She said she had tried the key on 116
and it did not fit, so she went into the
first room it would unlock, and being
tired, she took a refreshing rest. She
fairly dubbed over with mirth when
she heard the story of her supposed
kidnapping.

statutes Of the States meet the test Of
this amendment and are not otherwise
in conflict with the constitution and
laws of the United States, it is not
the disposition or within the province
of the Federal Government to inter-
fere with the regulation by Southern
States of their domestic affairs. There
is in the South a stronger feeling
than ever among the intelligent, we'll
TODD and influential element in favor
of the industrial education of
the negro, and the encouragement
of the race to make themselves useful
members of the community. The pro-
gress which the negro has made in the
last fifty years from slavery, when its
statistics are reviewed, is marvellous,
and it furnishes every reason to hope
that in the next twenty-five years a
still greater improvement in his con-
dition as productive member of So
ciety, on the farm and in the shop
and in other occupations, may come.
The negroes are now Americans. Their
ancestors came here years ago against
their will, and this is their only coun-
try and their only flag. They have
shown themselves anxious to live for
it and to die for it. Encountering the
race feeling against them, subjected
at times to cruel injustice growing out
of it, they may well have our profound
sympathy and aid in the struggle they
are making. We are charged with the
sacred duty of making their path as
smooth and easy as we can. Any
recognition of their distinguished men.
any appointment to office from among
their number, is properly taken as an
encouragement, and an appreciation
of their progress, and this just policy
shall be pursued.
But it may well admit of doubt
whether, in case of any race, an ap-
pointment Of one of their number to a
local office in community in which
race feeling is so widespread ami
acute as to interfere with the ease
and facility with which the local gov
eminent business can be done by the
appointee, is of sufficient benefit by
way of encouragement to the race to
the recurrence and increase
If race feeling which such an appoint
nent is likely to engender. There
fore, the Executive, in recognizing the
negro race by appointments must ex-
ercise careful discretion not there
~ to do it more harm than good. On
The other hand we must be careful not
o encourage the mere pretense of race
ceiling manufactured in theh interest
If individual political ambition.
Personally 1 have not the slightest
race prejudice or feeling, and recogni-
ton of it's existence only awakens
in my heart a deeper sympathy for
those who have to bear it or suffer
from it, and l question the wisdom of

America, and, indeed, with some Of
the iomprtant ports on the east coast
of South America reached by rail from
the west coast. The work on the
canal Is making most satisfactory
progress. The type Of the canal as a
lock canal was fixed by congress after
full consideration of the conflicting
reports of the majority and minority
of the consulting board, and after the
recommendation OF the war depart
ment anad the executive upon those
reports. Recent suggestion that some
| thing had occurred on the Isthmus to
make the type Of the canal less FEAST
BILE than 1t was supposed to be when
the reports were made and the policy
determined on, led to visit to the
Isthmus of board of competent en-
gineers to examine the Gatum dam
and locks which are the key of the
lock type. The report Of that board
shows that nothing has occurred in
the nature of newly revealed evidence
which would change the views once
formed in the original discussion. The
| construction will go On under a most
effective organization controlled by
Col. Goethals and his fellow army
engineers associated with him, and
will certainly be completed early in
the next administration, if not before
Some type of canal must be con-
structed. The lock type has been
selected. We are all in favor of hav-
ing it built as promptly as possible.
We must not now, therefore, keep up
fire in the rear of the agents whom
we have authorized to do our work
on the Isthmus. We must hold up
their hands, and speaking for the in
coming administration, 1 wish to say
that I propose to devote all the en-.
ergy possible and under my control,
to the pushing Of this work on the
plans which have been adopted, and
to stand behind the men who are do
ing faithful hard work to bring about
the early completion of this, the great
est constructive enterprise of modern
times.
1 look forward with hope to in
creasing the already good feeling be-
tween the South and the other sections
of the country. My chief purpose is
not to effect change in the electoral
vote of the Southern States. That
is a secondary consideration. What l
look forward to is an increase in the |
tolerance of political views of all kinds
and their advocacy throughout the |
South, and the existence of a respect |
able political opposition in every State
even more than this, to an increased
feeling on the part of all the people |
of the South that this Government is
their Government, and that its Off
GERS in their States are their officers

this one. The commission in studying
the general influence of currency on
business and Of business on currency,

POSTAL SAVINGS
BANK BILL.
The incoming congress should
promptly fulfill the promise of the
republican platform and pass proper
postal savings bank bill 1t will not
be unwise or excessive paternalism.
The promise to repay by the govern
ment will furnish an inducement to
savings deposits which private enter
prise cannot supply, and at such a
low rate of interest as not to with
draw custom from existing banks. II
will substantially increase the funds
available for Investment as capital in

anty of deposits so alluring without
its pernicious results.

FOREIGN TRADE
RELATIONS

sincerely hope that the incoming
congress will be alive, as 1t should
be, to the Importance of our foreign
trade and of encouraging 1t in every
way feasible. The possibility of in
creasing this trade In the Orient, in
the Philippines and In South America
are known to every one who has given
the matter attention. The direct eff
feet of free trade between this coun-
try and the Philippines will be mark
ed upon our sale of cottons, agricul-
tural machinery and other manufac-
lures. The necessity Of the estab-
lishment of direct lines Of steamers
between North and South America
has been brought to the attention of
congress by my predecessor. and by
Mr.. Root before and after his note
worthy visit to that continent, and 1
sincerely hope that congress may be
induced to see the wisdom of ten
tative effort to establish such lines
by the use of mail subsidies.
