OVERCOMING A HANDICAP.
(Minn. Journal.)
Nov. 9Th. 1910

President Taft and Attorney Gen.
eral Wickersham have agreed to name
William H. Lewis, Assistant District
Attorney in Boston since Mr.. Roose.
velt's time, as Assistant Attorney Gen.
eral of the United States. Mr.. Lewis
is a negro, and has a record as one
Of the braniest football players in the
United States. For this and other
reasons his career is as remarkable
and as fascinating as romance. In
twenty years he has overcome the
most difficult of handicaps, that Of
race prejudice, and has won himself
a place by the sheer forces Of mind
and character.
Twenty years ago while at Amherst
young Lewis was made captain Of the
eleven. He went to Harvard and be-
came the greatest center rush that
ever wore the crimson, besides doing
we'll in his studies. He Is a light man
for his position on the team, but used
his brains to offset his lack of weight.
At the end of his college career, he
practiced law, went to the Legisla-
ture for term, and was about to go
to Cornell as football coach when Mr..
Roosevelt, at the solicitation of Har-
ward alumni who claimed that they
must not lose the advice of the man
that broke up PENIS famed guards
back" play. appointed him Assistant
District Attorney for Boston. He babe
go there as elsewhere, and is now
slated for advancement.
After all, a man can overcome al
most any handicap II he has the stuff
in him and Is willing to work himself
and not spend his ability in schemes
for working others.
The negro Of today is by no means
in the hopeless position that we some.
times hear him placed. The securing
Of Federal office may not be a perfect
test, but 1t shows something.

Five Pledges for Candidates.
The Platform.
It is time, therefore, for an indepen'

The Question Of Citizenship.

The question of citizenship in the
United States, like the question OF
slavery was. must sooner or later b
forced to a successful and Anal con-
clusion. says N. Barnett Dodson. The
influx of foreigners and their anxiety
to become naturalized. hold office and
help to dictate the policy Of the gov
eminent are problems which the Unit
ed States cannot ignore. In the nnal
analysis all citizens must have voice,
right and protection guaranteed -
them by the constitution.

Problem Confronting President Taft
q Serious One.
Washington, Nov. 10.-Through-
out the life of the Sixty-second con-
gress President Taft will be threat
ered by the opposition of both branches
Of the national legislature. This is
clearly indicated in the returns OF
Tuesdays elections and Is a matter
Of grave concern to administration
leaders. In the new congress the
house will be Democratic by, in all
probability, majority of approximate
ly fifty. A gain Of nine Democratic
votes will, in all probability, be regis
tered in the senate. The present Re-
publican majority in the senate Is
twenty-six. The election Of nine Dem
ocratic senators to take the places Of
Republicans reduces the Republican
majority to eight. The indications are
tnat the Democrats will elect one SEN
ator in each Of the following states:
New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Indiana,
Nebraska, Missouri, Nevada, West Vir-
ginia and Maine. The senate. there
foso, in the new congress will stand
fifty Republicans and forty-two Demo
Gratis. There is in the senate now and
will be in the Sixty-second congress

strayed From Fold Before.
The Republicans who may be ex.
pected to join with the Democrats on
occasions are: La Toilette of Wiscon-
sin, Cummins of Iowa, Bristow of Kan.
sas, Clapp of Minnesota and possibly
Borah of Idaho These senators have
strayed froL e party fold before, and
Republican leaders here expect to see
them do so again. There are other
Republican senators who, 1t is feared,
may, in connection with certain class
es of legislation, join with the Demo
Gratis and take away control from the
responsible Republican leadership.
They are: Brown of Nebraska, Craw-
ford of South Dakota and Nelson OF
Minnesota. The last named senator
voted against the Payne-Aldrich tariff
law. Years ago, as a member Of the
house, he left his party and voted for
the Mills Democratic tariff bill. In
addition, 1t is pointed out here that
Miles Poindexter of Washington and
Aslu J. Gronna of North Dakota, who
no. represent their states in the
hose, are progressives Of the most
radical type. Judging from their past
record, they are likely to join with the
Democrats when their principles move
them so to do.
While administration leaders are
making no comment for publication on
results, they admit privately that the
Democratic house and senate, which
may at times be in control OF a ma
jority composed Of Democrats and pro-
gressive Republicans, will doubtless
make 1t impossible for the president
to put through his legislative pro-
gramme. They expect the wheels Of
legislation to be blocked with the
Democrats devoting most Of their time
to Investigations Of the present and
former administrations, with view
