Sought to Give His Version Of
Conversation at the White
House
TAFT WOULD Be FORCED To
SILENCE OR BECOME WITNESS
No Objection Made to Letter Written 10
or By President But no Desire to
Force Him Into Undigniaed Posi-.
tion.

Washington, March AFTER q brief
executive session Of the Ballinger.
Pinchot investigating committee this
morning it was announced that coun.
sci for Pinchot would not press for
ruling on the point as to whether
or not the witnesses would be allowed
to testify as to conversations with
the president. The subject thereupon
was dropped.
When the committee met today
there was the pending question a. to
whether Clifford Pinchot should be al
lowed to give his version of the con.
versations had with President Taft,
The question came up Saturday soon
after Mr.. Pinchot had read his pre-
liminary statement in which he made
sensational charges against Secretary
Ballinger. Mr.. Vertrees, counsel for
Mr.. Ballinger, interposed the sugges.
tion that ruling should be made al.
low the witnesses to report the con.
versation with the chief executive.
Attorney Vertrees said there was not
the slightest objection to the introduc.
tion in evidence Of letters written to
or by the president. The attorney
contended, however. that IL the com.
mittee permitted the witnesses to give
their version of conversations at the
white house 1t would put the presi-
don't IN tho ,aus&S.- -
remaining silent or appearing before
the committee as a witness. The lat
ter alternative Vertrees deemed to be
undesirable.
George w. Peopher, representing
Pinchot, had agreed that the summon.
ing of the president would be unde-
sirable but had declared that the con.
versations were necessary as q foun.
dation for further testimony. There
was no indication this morning as to
remain on the stand. He will be
to substantiate the specific charges
of the interior. Among these wit
nesses, 1t was announced, would be
the officers In the government re-
clamation service.
There was a sensation when Pin
chot announced to the committee that
he made his charges that Secretary
Ballinger had been guilty of making
statements to the president that were
absolutely false in their essential
particulars" not upon letter from
Ballinger himself, but upon letter
written by ]. T. Ronald. a former law
partner of Ballinger, to DR.. Lyman
Abbott. Pinchot said a copy of this
letter, with an notation. was for
warded by Ballinger to the president

Washington. March 1-"Without a
majority of three members of the
committee on rules, no matter can
even be considered In this house, "
shouted Representative Hamilton Fish
of New York. after he had told Of his
inability to get action on parcels
post resolution in the house today.
This is not a representative gov
ernment." said Mr.. Fish, continuing to
denounce the rules.
Chairman Tawney of the committee
on appropriations suggested that Mr..
Fish might move any day to discharge
a committee from consideration of
any measure before it and to bring
such measure before the house. Mr..
Fish retorted that If he could get sup
port he would take that course in re-
spect to the parcels post resolution.

AN ALUMNUS
Recounltion in EnII.

Not many moons ago a local paper
in discussing "The Story of the Ne
gro" by Or. Booker T. Washington,
repudiated the incident of the gate
keepers inability to discriminate
white Negroes and white folks" at
a certain southern exposition, saying
such a thing is impossible; adding, a
white Negro" is easily detected, etc.
Since that time, right here in Nash
vile, this same paper has published
in its marriage list, whites" the
names of several Negroes" who
made no attempt to pass" Of
course, this matter is taken from the
records and the paper is not RESPONSE
BILE for more than the statement it
made. This is the judgment of the
clerk-"w white" When this paper
made the remark it was a wonder
how it could be done. Negroes have
the same faculties for determining
and they don't know who's who any
more than the "blameless clerk"

FRIDAY, MAY 20, 1910.
HASTY FORGIVENESS.

The Negroes Of Nashville, and gen.
orally everywhere, are as rule too
hasty to forgive men and women of
wrongs committed against the race.
We understand that forgiveness
comes after repentance, but some
times the guilty party becomes de-
fiant and demands of the public for
giveness before they have thought of
repehting for the wrong done.
Several cases of this kind have
been witnessed in Nashville in recent
years, and the people, out of mere SYM
pathy, have decided that he or she was
misled. In some instances the
facts have been too clear to admit Of
any doubt of the guilt of the accused.
For instance, a man who is under
heavy bond for an offense that should
put him in the penitentiary for life at
hard labor, has the boldness to go be-
fore the people and ask them to listen
to him lecture on moral issues
guilty of having debauched a home
and lecturing on morals. The peo
pie, out of sympathy, accept that
as repentance, when as a matter Of
fact it is audacity of the vilest type
The Negroes of Nashville, who ex
pect to be looked upon as worthy citi
zens, will have to exercise more cour
age in matters of this kind. The!
must have the courage to condemn
wrong-doing in a way that will be un
derstood by the world. They mus
learn that if they would have thei
children be moral men and womel
they must convince those children
that they, as their parents, do no
countenance the evil doings Of any
one. Especially must the childre
be taught that those men and wome
who are entrusted with their care an
training must live honest, mora
lives, and when one betrays a trus
that individual must be put aside t
remain forever.

The Public School, Teacher.

The demand upon the public school
teacher seems to be growing at an
alarming rate. His responsibilities
are constantly increasing. Perhaps
there is no other class of profession
ais that accept the duties assigned
with as little complaint. Who is as
poorly paid as these toiling, 3 over
worked people? Can he properly
care for himself; have the necessary
literature, that his position requires;
travel, that his views may be broad
ened and "lay up for the rainy day"
at this rate?
Would it not be better for all con-
cerned if the principals of the schools
were given an opportunity, (salary
continued and expenses allowed) to
visit various schools in this and 9th
er states, each year? Should not ev
cry teacher receive a salary common
surate with his qualifications, visit
new points of interest, attend sum
mer schools every vacation? At this
rate are we not in danger of loosins
some of our strong men and womel
from the ranks?
1t should re remembered that tn,
teacher can pass examinations TO
other kinds of work that command
larger salary and continue twelv
months in the year.
What is our duty toward the teach
err? Are the buildings, equipments
grounds and Surroundings suitable TO
the highest developments of tn
children?

Bishop Gaines has lived life of
usefulness. He has given his best
energies to the uplift of his people.
He is now, though we'll advanced in
years, still progressively fighting the
battles of the race. On the other
hand, the Hon. T. Thomas Fortune
has been a hindrance to race uplift.
He was at one time owner and pub
Usher of the leading Negro journal
in the world, and he himself was con
ceded to be one of the brainiest edi-
tors in this country, but to-day he is
the tool of any who wish to use him
to an end. Why is this so? Has any
man or set of men taken advantage
of Mr.. Fortune and robbed him
of his holdings and his honor? Why
does the once-brilliant writer, T.
Thomas Fortune, whose name was
cogency in every community, resort to
methods almost desperate in attempts
to discredit the efforts of one of the
leading men in the country, a. church
man of no i'll repute. The answer
is alleged that he looked on the wine
too often when it gave its color to
the cup.
No one rejoices at the downfall of
so able a man as Mr.. Fortune. In
fact, every Negro in this country is in
need of the service such man could
render his race, but he who so for
gets himself or who gives over to
temptations and allows them to get
the better Of him cannot blame others
for the consequences that are sure
to follow.
When a man is falling he naturally
grabs at every body to check his de-
cent. He cannot be blamed for that.
When he is down, he feels that any
IOu0 WIN 10 up dAu WIN ID AOOhOu
upon by the people as good and
useful citizen would make him boon
companion. The thinking people,
therefore, realizing the state of the
mans mind who is down should not
allow him to pull down others. They
ought to sympathize with the unfor-
tunate one, but not to the detriment
of others 1t is probable that
Bishop Gaines could tell enough about
Mr.. Fortune to make an interesting
story, but he is not that kind of q
man. While the TRADE doubtless
pricked him to the core, we believe he
is too courageous and too much i'm
bued with the spirit Of the Messiah to
strike a man who is already down.

more truth than fiction in The

A Vital Question.

Has any teacher in Fisk University
the right to put their hand on any of
the young men and ladies, to push
and shove a young lady down the
hall, force her in a chair and then
lift her up and force her into room?
This has been done at Fisk Univer-
sity and the punishment has been ap-
piled, not to the one who has been the
executor of such acts, but to the one
upon whom such things have been
practiced.
Do the Negroes of Nashville or any
where countenance such actions on
the part of any teacher in Fisk Uni
versity?
