WELL FOUNDED COMPLAINT.
Georgia Railroad Strike inspired by

Georgia Railroad Strike inspired by
Presidents inaugural Address.
The newspapers arc discussing pret-
ty freely Mr.. Taft's Negro policy The
complaint Is that the presidents ntti-
tudc toward the Negroes political status
is working much injury to his indus
trial status. So far rs this paper has
been able to observe. the complaint is
we'll founded
Who will say that the recent labor
disturbances on the Georgia railroad
were not influenced by the presidents
remarkable inaugural address? When
Mr.. Taft said that it was not the part
or wisdom to appoint IL colored man to
oiiice where there was opposition to
him lie gave The country the impress
sion that the Negro had no right to
hold office and no right to labor where
the white man objected. The president
evidently meant what he said for the
good Of the race, but his meaning mis-
carried. Immediately there began IN
the south systematic effort to ouSt
the Negro from every federal office;
there arose spontaneous protest in
mississippi against the few Negro
fourth class postmaStcrs in that state:
the tircmcn on the Georgia railrOnu
went into uphcaval. sout hcrncrs march:
cd up 10 the White Iiousc AMI demand
cd that Register OF the Treasury Ver-
non DE removed and white man be
appointed in his place. and the Lily
White organization in Texas demanded
that every Negro oiliccholdcr IN that
state be removed. Following this, q
petition WIS presented to the officials
Of the Hartman railroads in the south
west demanding that the Negro work
men he discharged. And. lastly, the
railway mail clerks of Texas. who
hold their places by virtue Of compcti.
tive civil service examinations. have
presented Il petition demanding that
Negro railway mail clerks be scgrc-
gated and placed on certain runs And
tho end is not yet.
All Of this goes on while Mr.. Taft
sits placidly In the White House and
does not open his mouth. What will
our brethren Of the north and west do
about it?-Lodgc Journal and Guide.

Storers to Return to Capital Society

| bassadOr to Austria by President Nc
| Kinley, the post being especially agree
able because Mrs. Bellamy Storer was
a devout Catholic and Austria was rec
ognized as the greatest Catholic court
in the world.
During Mr.. R~oosevelt's administra-
ton there developed a movement to
have Archbishop Ireland raised to the
rank of cardinal. Mrs. Bellamy
Storer was interested in the success
of the plan, and there was much cor
respondence between her and Presi-
dent Roosevelt, which brought the re-
port that the president was interested
himself in having Archbishop Ireland
promoted.
Bellamy Storer was then recalled as
ambassador by President Roosevelt,
and it became known that there had
been a wide breach between them.
The president made all the correspond
ence with Mrs. Storer public from the
White House and the Storers returned
to the United States and went to Gin
cinnati to live.
Mrs. Bellamy Storer was Maria
Longworth before marriage. She is
an aunt of Representative Nicholas
Longworth, the ex-president's son-in-
law. She is well-known here in so
ciety, being particularly friendly with
the Tafts, the L~ongworths and the
Deweys.

much of his time in private life.
Next to Mark Hanna, Fairbanks was
the counselor of the Mckinley admin
istration. He was temporary chair
man of the first convention which
nominated Mckinley in 1896 and tC
him, therefore, fell the duty of making
the keynote" speech. Mckinley ad
vanced Senator Fairbanks in every
possible way, and among other honors
made him the American chairman OF
the joint high commission appointed In
1898 to consider commercial reciproc-
ity and other important questions with
the government Of the Dominion OF
Canada. But for the opposition OF
stand pat interests in this country,
this commission might have made an
epoch-making record.
Mr.. Fairbanks owns a farm not far
from indianapolis and he has also a
fruit ranch in California, at Redlands.
1t has been said lately that he con-
templated making a trip around the
world Immediately upon his retire
ment, but this matter has not been
settled. He has scores of invitations
to address Chautauqua audiences, and
is giving them some consideration.
OF course he could not devote his time
to writing and l%ecturing and make his
world tour also, and he is strongly
inclined to travel.
