We do not believe that even Senator
B. r.. Tuiman. had De been Wen
enough 90 have been I'm his seat
would have voted against him. He Is
sending DR. Crum. q Negro 90 Africa
and he has expressed no doubt the
hope and desire that AN Negroes

gentlemen we know, but IL never gets
10 the "Big House" He is loyal 90
his friends and ne has had nothing
but good words 90 say Of the present
administration.
President Taft certainly made no
mistake in selecting him, but II all
reports are 20 be accredited. he made
quite a mistake in accepting the po-
.sition. he is too good a man to send
out of the country and he is not well
on enough in this worlds goods TO
accept a first class appointment in
some European country, where il
takes more than "a mans salary 20
live. Be that as it may, d.. Crum
Is a level-headed proposition and il
may be that he is right and that we
are wrong in his conclusions. We
cannot understand why President
Taft should want TO send such a good
man out Of the country. He was an
ideal collector Of the Port. at Charl.
eston, South Carolina.
Should Dir. Crum resign after
about six months service. we shall
not be surprised. lie has secured the
honor of the appointment and that
is about all a man of his kind and
calibre should want.
