NEGRO SCORES ROOSEVELT
He Can Never Atone for the
Brownsville Affair, Says Orator.

tBy Telegraph TO The Tribunal
Boston, July 4.-In his lecture THE
Building of the Republic in Faneuii Hall
this morning. James r. Wolff. tho first
negro to deliver a Fourth of July grafton
in Boston, covered wide range.
In speaking Of the Brownsville affair
Mr.. Wolff said: 1.-THE saddest and most
unjust thing ever done to an American
soldier was the discharge of that battalion
Of heroes without honor by President
Roosevelt. II Is the one great act of in
Justice done during his administration for
which he can never atene. These men
were loyal and devoted soldiers, with years
of honora BILE service in peace and III war
Many wore the badge OF honor for heroic
service In battle. Time viii yet rectify
this wrong"
While treating of the subject OF his ora
ton Mr. Wolff said: 1.-THE greatest man
OF his period was George Washington. Al
though lacking the brilliancy of such men
as Napoleon. he iulmeasurably surpassed
them in sober Judgment. usefulness to his
country and lack of desire To rule others
for the sake of increasing his own impor-
lance

4 SANE FOURTH" AT LAST.

The sane Fourth" yesterday is a
standing rebuke TO those who follow the
counsels of despair. ihe annual ceiebra-
ton got worse from year TO year, It's
noise more deafening and the fireworks
more fiendish and deadly, despite all the
preaching against IFS barbariSm I'D the
press and elsewhere. Its evils seemed to
be rooted in human nature as firmly as
the evils of any other institution whose
Improvement is despaired of-in the love
Of noise and flame and in the weakness
of parents. Yet with human nature I'M
changed, and with very little effort, the
cid barbarism was practically wiped out,
fer A day at least. and we hope for good

were unheard, and even the ordinary
little firecracker was a rarity. For the
most part children seemed 10 enjoy them
selves just as much with minor eXplo-
siyes as they used 10 with charges of
powder big enough TO blow up battle
ship. The saving in wear and tear on
the peoples nerves shows in the record;
the saving of life. limb and property
appears in the short accident roll.
Mayor Gaynor deserves congratula-
tons on the success OF his plan and on
his courage in putting Il stop 10 the gen
eral sale Of fireworks and directing pub
lie attention 10 a proper celebration of
the day. The movement for sanity APP
pears TO have been widespread through
cut the country, and its success here in
New York viii give it an enormous i'm
petus everywhere next year. The exer-
cises carried out under the auspices Of
the Mayors committee were, on the
whole. admirably conceived and executed
when the sbortness of the time for prep
aration and the smallness of the funds
available are taken into consideration.

on Saturday. Moreover, the spectacle,

persons 10 the line Of march, and alto

DRUGS, HERE AND THERE.


Amid the various measures Of reform
which are being executed in China with
the deliberate but systematic and lnexo-
rable thoroughnesS which is characters
tic of that extraordinary people con-
spicuous place must be given to the
suppression Of the opium traffic and
habit. partly because of the magnitude OF
the evil which is thus being combated,
partly because of its intrinsic nature,
which makes it one of the most difficult
of all to deal with and partly because OF
the unauestionably great degree of sue
cess which is being attained. The most
authoritative reports are to the effect
that China is tremendously in earnest IN
this matter and is rapidly moving tow
ard complete extinction of that which
has for generations been regarded as her
characteristic and ineradicable vice.
1t was highly gratifying, as we have
said before. that the United States was
foremost in the international action
which was recently taken for the en-
enlargement and aid of China in this
great reform. But it might be asked
what it would profit this country to aid
China to get rid of the drug habit and
itself fall a victim thereto. Certainly
the official statistics and estimates OF
our own government, as presented the
other day to the Pennsylvania State
Pharmaceutical Association, are sJffl-
GENTLY ominous TO set us TO thinking
seriously upon the subject II Is dis
auieting, to say the least, to know that
the Importation OF opium is increasing
nearly three times as rapidly as our
population. that three-fourths Of the i'm
ports, or 100000 pounds a year, are lie
Ultimately used by drug fiends,' chief
~ in the form of morphine, and that
IS. 900 pounds a year are smoked by
Americans, besides the larger quantity
smoked by Chinese in this country
Equally unpleasant is it to know that
$4,000 ounces of cocaine are illegiti-
mately used in this country every year.
These figures would be sufficiently
suggestive of evil to call for prompt
and vigorous measures Of abatement II
they meant nothing more than the phys
ical detriment which such use Of drugs
must cause. But that is not the worst
of it. The connection between drug
habits and mental. and moral deterlora-
ton is close and certain. Nearly one
half of the criminals i'll this country, we
are told, are addicted 10 drug habits,
and the expert belief is that the habit
is in large proportion of cases the oil
rectiy inducing cause of the crime With
such conditions confronting us, there
appears To be imperative need Of the
strictest practicable governmental. regu-
latinn of the traffic i'll certain drugs and
of the imposition of heavy penalties for
illicit sale of them. There are scarcely
two more valuable drugs III the whole
materia medica than opium and cocaine,
and there are not two more pernielous
if improperly used. The healing Of the
people demands that they shall be sup
piled for that purpose III undoubted
purity and at the lowest possible price
The physical and moral welfare of the
people demands that their unwarranted
and illicit Use shall be prevented by
every legal means within the power of
government.

R1r4Ls IN CANADIAN TRADE.


The complaint has often been made
that Americans permit themselves TO be
outSt ripped III the South American mar
kets bv failing To adapt their products
and also their business methods TO the
needs and wishes of the purchasers; and
the complaint is we'll founded. Now 1t
is interesting and in d measure contirma-
tory Of that complaint to tind almost
precisely the same reason alleged for the
failure of British manufacturers 10 com
pete successfully with Americans in the
Canadian, and especially the western
Canadian, markets. OF course, Canadians
as loyal imperiaiists prefer TO purchase
British goods, and they make a tariff
discrimination of one-third in their IA
vor. Yet American goods far outstrip
British in actual use, and imports from
America are growing more rapidly than
from Great Britain.
Some of the reasons for this are sug-
gested by Mr.. Arthur Hawkes., of Toren-
to, in an article in the current Nine
teenth Century and After" The United
States and Canada are so much alike, at
least agricuIturally, that what is suit
able for one is suitable for the other.
In making implements for the Dakotas
we are making them with equal ac-
ceptability for Manitoba and SaSkatche-
wan: and as we make them in such vast
quantities for our home market we are
able to flood the Dominion market with
them, TO the exclusion of transatlantic
competitors. That does not mean that
Americans have adapted themselves TO
Canadian wants as we have argued they
should adapt themselves to South Amer
lean wants, but merely that circum-
stances have made Canadian and Amer
lean wants so much alike that special
adaptation is not necessary.
There are other reasons for American
supremacy, including the unwillingness,
or at least the failure Of Englismen to
adopt as acceptabl business methods as
Americans do, all OF which, however,
Mr.. Hawkes. thinks It worth while to try
measurably to overcome, unless the
blessed faculty Of adaptation has for
''saken the British race" In this, at the
risk Of encouraging rivals, we must
agree with Mr.. Hawkes., though we
should think that III any case the factors
Of proximity and still more of resem-
blance would continue TO operate power
fully in our favor We have no doubt
that British manufacturers could pro-
duce agricultural implements and ma
chinery just as good as ours and Just
as well suited 10 Canadian needs. But
the trouble is that i'll doing SO they
own home market. as do our inanufact-
urers, but exclusively for the export

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
REGRETS THE COBB BILL.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: I believe that the primary election
propositions of Governor Hughes are al
most Or quite the only unwise propositions
Of his public life / am not in public hfs'
but / have watched public opinion during
fifty years. ] am firmly convinced that the
adoption of the Cobb bill by the Legisiat-
ure would have been great political mis-
fortune I am also convinced that no such
plan would have secured the votes OF a
quarter of the members OF the Legislature
had not ii been proposed and advocated by
Governor Hughes, for nothing weaker thah
the persuasive powers OF that extraordi-
nary man could have made any material
progress in its support.
It is also my opinion that only a
minority of the members of the Repub-
lican party in this state favor any such
plan, and that not a quarter of the voters
would go spontaneously to the polls ana
vote fer 1t If by SO doing they could en-
act it into law, 1T was an artiflcially
worked up scheme, without any real public
initiative back of it, Now that Hughes is
soon going out of political campaigning, the
subject ought to be dropped.
l regard Colonel Roosevelt as the great
est man now living anywhere, and 1t is a
deep sorrow to me that Governor Hughes
persuaded him at the last moment, when
success was utterly impossible, to en-
deavor impulsiyely TO induce the Legislat-
ure to reverse its former action on the
subject. I honor Speaker WadswOrth for
declining TO stultify himself utterly; and
| also honor all the others of our chosen
lawmakers for, likewise declining. \ iegis-
lature is not a mere rubber stamp for
a Governor or for any other superman.
Benevolent despotism is not Americanism.

Sir: The approaching Congressional
canvass and the unanimous action of the
late Grand Army of the Republic encamp-
ment of the State of New York suggest
that every Union veteran plan now TO get
upon his party delegation of his election

with a view TO naming q candidate who
will ne pledged before the nomination to
work and vote to keep the Capitol and
the District of Columbia free from public
secession embiems.
The presence of the uniformed statue of
General Robert L. Lee before the very
altar of tho reunited country is Il reversal
of history, national qualification before
the world, a reassertion of d principle
that cost much to defeat, discount of all
Union efforts and a menace to the future

and West, unite TO, go forward, not back
