Keep Out.

We know the tricks of the enemy
so well that some time ago we called
attention to the Importance of our
people keeping their distance from
the police courts. Some of our pas
tors have, in their pulpits, called at
tention to the same thing, for from
now on these Democratic justices
will use almost any pretext to put the
offending Negro in Jail to a period
past the day of election.
Keep out of the justice courts.
If you have any grievance with
your neighbor, better let it go. Do
not rush into court with it. You
find the kick of the gun more dam
aging than the load from the barrel.
Just a few days ago a man was
brought before police Judge and in
default of trifing fine, he was
locked up for twenty-seven days, just
long enough to make him lose his
vote.
Keep out of the justice courts.-Af-

PURPOSE OF FAIRS.

When the State Fair closed state
ment of facts as we saw them was
made about the exposition. When
the Rutherford County Colored Fair
Association held its fair we visited
the same, were introduced to the
gatekeeper as a newspaper man, he
charged US the regular admission fee,
which we paid in anticipation of see
ing what the farmers and business
men of that section of our state are
producing. Our expectations were
not met, and we so stated in these
columns. Some one unknown to us
sent a communication unsigned to be
published in these columns. We
we're condemned for what we said
about the exhibits at that fair, but we
were honest in our opinion. Now in.

UP TO THE NEGRO.
er endeavol

The Negro citizens of Nashville are
confronted with case that is the
most perplexing they have ever had
to consider, namely: The inability of
the management of Greenwood Park
to get the Street Railway Company
to continue the electric car line up to
the park gate. When complaint was
made by the patrons of MT. Olivet
Cemetery about the crowds congrega-
ing in front of the cemetery gate the
Railway Company was not long find
ing a way to satisfy these people. No
one found any objection to the change
that was made. The passengers who
were en- route to the park could not
find objection because it carried them
several hundred yards nearer the
park, neither could they find fault
with the compliments, as the scene
in front of the cemetery did not pre-
sent spectacle in keeping with
that vicinity. The Negroes did
not like to stop at that point, but the
car line stopped there, which COM
PEELED them to change from the cars
to the wagons. It was a very awk-
ward predicament, and all parties
concerned were glad when the change
came.
The car line was extended and
promise was made that it would be
carried out to the park, but work was
stopped suddenly and has been at a
standstill for more than two years.
Extensions have been made in near
ly every part of the city except the
line to Greenwood Park. The excuse
offered is lack of funds to do the
work, but no one believes that. It may
be true that a six million dollar cor
poration cannot spend few thousand
dol ars to add to its system a good
money-making line, but it will be
hard thing to do to make forty thou
sand people in Nashville believe it.
But the extension has not been made
and the Railway Company is not at all
bothered about it. So it is up to the
Negroes to provide conveyances of
their own to and from Greenwood
Park. The time to start making
preparation is now, so that when
Spring time comes there will be moth
ing to do but put the lines in opera
ton. A transportation system can
be conducted at good profit. No one
knows that better than the men who
haul passengers from the end of the
car line to the park We are not at
tempting to outline how such a line
should be conducted nor what kind of
power should be used, we are merely
citing the feet that it is incumbent
upon the Negroes of Nashville to pro-
vide for their own pleasure, in view
of the fact that the Street Railway
Company will not provide accomm-
dations for them to reach the only
respectable pleasure resort they have,

men, but service more far.reaching
than that in that it Will ulimaely be
bulwark Of protection to every and
all American citizens. With the
prescience and clear vision of an able
and consummate statesman he saw
what 1t would mean to the spirit and
genius of American liberty and law
were those men allowed to be con-
demned and punished without a trial
and by the mere will and word of the
President. He knew that it meant the
subtle undermining of the vital princi-
pie underlying the free institutions
OF the country, making it possible for
the whole fabric, safeguarding mems
rights, to topple to it's fall. Like the
brave man he is, he assumed the re-
sponsibility of the situation. and with
courage and ability commensurate
to the task, met the Administration
and its allies in the breach and
checked their onslaught so effective
ly that his effort challenged the adj
miration not only Of his friends-the
lovers OF justice and fair play every
where-but those who were indiffer-
ent and had failed to see the gravity
and danger of the Presidents course
President Roosevelt brought to
bear all the influences and powers
OF his administration to shatter Sen
ator Foraker's fight in the defense of
justice under the sovereignty of law,
but how signally the President failed
is an open book to the world where
everybody may read his motive-a
motive that undtfly possessed his
soul and consumed his better iudg-
ment. No Executive of this nation,
like a mailed, booted and spurred
knight of old, ever rode down law
and precedent with the same disre-
gard and recklessness as did Roose-
welt He will not live long enough lin
this or Dante's world to outlive his
connection with and the stain of the
Brownsville affair. If it is true that
conscience makes towards of us all
when we do that which we know to
be wrong, then what Jolt will his re-
ceive in the far-off jungles of Africa
when he reads Senator Foraker's
scathing arraignment of him for the
desperate part he played in irving to
fasten responsibility for dangerous
crime on innocent men. That speech
will be a bosom which will drive
home his chickens to roost" and
lash his cons cience fore and aft.
Senator Foraker has done us, as a
race, direct service and the nation
at large an ultimate and inestimable
one, for which let his name gild the
brightest pages of the annals of our
common country and live on through
the ever-revolving cycles of coming
years as one of the greatest and most
courageous and most masterful de-
tenders of the most vital and sacred
right pertaining to the welfare of all
his countrymen.

The Amendment.

The amendment is still in popular
issue in Alabama, and some able ar
guments are being heard from both
sides. However much the amenders
plead for their victory they will find
in November that it is something
more than common to change the
American plan of doing things. We
hope that the few Negro votes in Ala
bama will look well to their future
in this coming election. 1t seems on
it's face to be method planned to
raid the homes of any citizen because
of the feeling of one or two men sup
posing that some liquor is being ham
dled.-Birmingham Reporter.

JAMES J. HILL
 IS OPTIMISTIC

Washington, July 15.-"As soon as the tariff Is out of the way" said James J. Hill. the railroad magnate who yester- day was one of the Presidents callers. this country will enjoy prosperity which will at least equal, If 1t does not surpass, that 1t knew under the Mckinley administration.
 Last month I travelled extensively throughout the west, and I never saw such activity among the farmers. Every where I made inquiry and learned and saw that the crops were abundant, and the farmers were satisfied. Signs of the financial depression of 1907 are fast fad ing.
 Freight cars will be at premium within few weeks. We of the railroad world judge the prosperity of sthe nation as much by the number of idle cars as anything else. Throughout the past year there have been thousands idle, but they will soon be rolling about the country filled with freight"
