AS TO OUR SOCIAL EQUALITY
PRESIDENTS.

Dear Sir:-I am now near seventy
years old and have been reading after
you for six or eight years. / have
always been a. Democrat; / may still
be, but with. your truthfulness and
your honor I shall die a Watson man.
Why? Because you have come forth
without fear of men and have told
our people what l think is the truth.
Some years ago Mr. Roosevelt, our
ex-President, dined Booker Washing
ton at the White House, and you
came out and said that was no more
than Grover Cleveland had done. So
Mr.. Watson l put black eye on that
at that time, but Mr.. Watson l now
believe you told the truth. If I have
misconstrued any part of the above I
ask you to correct the same, for I
am willing to leave my fate with
you. There is no man living whom
| appreciate as q statesman more
than I do you. I honestly believe all
you say. beg to be one who be-
lieves in honor and virtue and truth
Yours. very respectfully,
G. d. WOODURD.
Cochran, Georgia.
Answer.
The foregoing letter is very much
appreciated Our old friend, how
ever, is a little bit in error as to the
facts. Mr.. Roosevelt was holding a
conference with Booker Washington
at the White House when his lunch
con was brought in, as usual, on
tray. On the impulse of the mo-
ment, Mr. Roosevelt invited Wash
ington to share this informal meal.
Mrs. Roosevelt was not present, nor
were any of the ladies of the Presi-
dents household.
/ did not say that Mr.. Cleveland
dined with Fred Douglas; but did say
that this mulatto, and his white wife,
were invited by Mr.. Cleveland, i'm
personal note, to attend his bridal
reception at the White House ON re-
turning from his bridal tour. This
was not a state function at all, but
was purely social; therefore Mr..
Cleveland's invitation to Fred Doug
las and wife was not only an act of
social equality but a tacit approval
of marriages between whites and
blacks.
I was told, however, that Mr..
Cleveland was one of the guests at
dinner which Mr.. Carnegie gave to
Booker Washington in New York
An Atlanta negro wrote me that he
had this from Booker Washington's

Bill Is introduced Providing for Jus
tees Retirement.

Washington. June Ex-senator
Lodge today introduced bill permit
ting Associate Justice Moody of the
supreme court of the United States tc
retire from office with full pay not
withstanding he has not served III
years nor is he 20 years old as required
bv existing law. Mr.. Moody's health
is given as the reason for the proposed
act.
The Moody bill is based upon the
condition that Mr.. Moody small retire
within six months. Senator Lodge
said that the purpose OF the measure
was to vacate the seat by the pesih-
ming of the next term of court so tha'
the vacancy might be filled. he sane
that the measure was generally FAVOR
ed and he expressed the OPINION tha'
it would become law before the al
iournment of Congress.
1t was learned that the suggestion
that Justice Moody be retired came
from the justice himself. His deter
mination to leave the bench was
reached as a result of some comment
made recently that certain OF the DIG
CORPORATION cases assigned for re-
argument would have been decided. %!
the supreme court had not the eour'
been so evenly divided.

While almost every phase spoken was
embelllshed with appalling blasph-
envy. And if a higher tone of moral
lty and a greater sense of propriety
now prevail than in the earlier half
of the last century, it is in a great
measure due to the unobtrusive but
excellent care which his Majesty took
to keep out of society those who had
forfeited their rights to remain
within its pale. He was as ready as
any other votary of pleasure to meet
them in the sphere to which they had
descended and to treat them there
with kindness and consideration, but
he would not tolerate their presence
in houses that were respectable, and
took quiet means to eliminate them
therefrom
One of the most pleasing traits
of King Edward was his singularly
happy home life. He was the object
of many stories of more or less
slanderous nature, which he always
considered it beneath his dignity to
either deny or refute. But it was
only necessary to see the King among
his family at Sandringham, and to
observe the affection with which his
nephews and nieces spoke Of Uncle
Berties," to realize that much that
was spoken and written about him
was absolutely false.
1t is believed that King Edward
leaves little personal estate. From
the time he attained his majority he
had lived in a more or less extrava-
CANT manner and had never cult
waited that frugality which enabled
his mother, the late Queen Victoria,
to be rated among the worlds rich
est women. King Edward was lib
.ral with his family and his friends
and oftentimes found it difficult to
make both ends meet out of the royal
allowance.
