of particulars, the professional ne
grOes' charge against President Taft
must fail.
But President Taft has made inno-
vations. He has placed negroes into
positions which the race had never
filled before; he has put them into
offices heretofore closed IN their faces
and the only change that the Inde-
pendent has been able to discover on
the political horizon is that the Pres
ident takes political advice from a diff
ferent source. The Independent gives
the President a clean bill of health
land presents his record as a complete
refutation of the charge that he is
against the race. His administration
is a success from every point of view
both in the recognition Of the rights
of all the people, III the distribution OF
patronage and in his contribution to
helpful legislation.

Taft and the Negro.

(FrOm the Atlanta, Ga, independently
It is generally charged by the po-
litical negroes and one or two selfish
negro papers in this country that
President Taft is a negro hater, dom
mated by Southern sentiment, and is
largely tainted with "white-lillyism" to
the end that he is displacing all negro
office holders with white men.
Now, what are the facts? The In
dependent says that the charge is not
well founded and has no standing in
fact. What negro office holder in this
country has he displaced by a white
man? Granting, for the sake of the
argument that negroes are entitled to
the places because they are negroes,
and white men are not entitled to the
places because they are white. if they
charge the resignation of DR. Crum, at
Charleston, to President Taft's admin
istration, for which he is not RESPONSE
bic, it would be offset by the appoint
ment Of Whitfield McKiHlay as col
lectOr Of customs at Georgetown, D.
G. This is a position that no form
Ter President has ever given a negro.
Some of the anti-Taft negroes have
gone so far as to say that the appoint
ment of Hon. Henry Lincoln John
son as recorder of deeds, TO succeed
Hon. John c. Dancy, was a blow at
the race. How they ever reached
such a conclusion the Independent is
ar a loss to know. Johnson is a ne
gro and DanCy is a negro, and how
his appointment was a blow at the
race any more than the appointment
of the new commissioner of internal
revenue at Washington, to succeed
Commissioner Capers, of South Car
olina, was a blow at the white race
In Arkansas, Col. John E. Bush, d
negro, has been appointed to succeed
himself; in Alabama, Col. Nathan Al
exander, a negro, has been appointed
to succeed himself; at Jacksonville
Fla, Hon. Joseph H. Lee, negro
has been appointed collector to sue.

BY reason Of the regulations govern
ing the recent 1900 mile prince Henry
tour in Germany some extraordinarily
radical ideas in bodies were evolved,
these constituting for Americans the
most interesting features Of the tour.
The cars participating were permitted
a range of from eight to twenty-five
horse power, figured on a formula tax
ing cognfzance of the number OF cyltn-,
ders, the bore and stroke. The stroke.
however was limited to SIS inches in
excess of the bore.
In body limitations the promoting
clubs laid down extremely stiff regula-
lions for minimum measurements and
passenger capacity. To this was due
the rather freakish models that in this
country would be described as advanced
types Of the now common gunboat or
torpedo. It is not improbable. in fact,
that the German tour will have an eff
feet on 1911 model bodies in the United
States.
The tour entrants met the BODY re-
quirements, but a large number made
every endeavor, at the same time, to
diminish wind resistance by presenting
rounded fronts and almost absolutely
smooth bodies. Four of the more strik-
ing cars are shown above, and these
give an idea Of the serious nature OF
the preparations made by the many
entrants to show to best advantage.

COTTON.
Spots Steady.

New York. y. Y. July THE cotton
market started lower today, but ruled
steady, and on account OF the fact that
it appeared hard to depress. it is be-
lieved by some that strong interests
are supporting it. At the same time
there is a we'll established belief that
conditions are bullish, but because of
the high prices prevailing the buying
power is considerably curtailed. The
south today reports some rain in spots,
but not in sufficient quantities to do
general good A general rain in Texas
and Oklahoma is the thing most needed.
The spot situation is steady and be-
cause of the fact that the supply is
small it viii be several weeks before
there viii be any new crop availa Bile
and the supply is expected to reach a
point of exhaustion before the new
crop can be drawn upon.

MEXICAN BADLY BEATEN
COMES TO THE CITY
Declares a Ranch Foreman Did IT
Has Wounds Dressed, But is Told
1t is New Mexico Case.

His hair, beard and clothing covered
and matted with blood. Jesus Alvearde,
who Claims to have been employed on
ranch just over the state line in New
Mexico, entered the sheriffs office at
2 o'clock Thursday afternoon and told
a story of a brutal assault committed
Wednesday night
Alvearde told the deputies at the sher-
ifs office that the ranch fofeman beat
him up with a chair. Two women held
him while he was beaten, he says.
There was one very ugly wound
upon the head. He was sent to the
county Jail, where his wound received
attention.
Owing to the affair having happened
in New Mexico, the authorities are pow
erIess to act. Alvearde was told to go
TO Las Cruces and make complaint.
