The Colonel Comes Back.

If there ever was any doubt as to
Col. Roosevelt's ability to come
back" with the Negro voter IL was
dispelled at the New York convention
of the National Negro Business Mems
League. The discharge without
honor" OF the black battalion was
forgotten and women WED with the
men delegates in expressing their ap-
prOval OF the utterances Of the man
who, while president, taught by pre-
cept and example the gospel of the
square deal and advocated the doc
trine of all men up, not some men
down.
The Negro has come to see that
Colonel Roosevelt was not the worst
man who ever sat in the presidential
chair. The eyes of the race are open
ing to the fact that zone swallow
does not make a summer, one hasty
action against members OF the race
does not characterize its dOer as a
Negro hater. This fact would not
be so prominent in the minds OF the
masses ~ Col. Roosevelt's successor
had not adopted and followed a
course so different from that of his
immediate predecessor. II Mr.. Taft
had been content 20 leave well
enough alone TO Teappoint the Ne
groes already in ofice or to displace
them with other Negroes, they would
not have been so ready to see In his
every removal a desire TO build up
a lily wn.,e party at the expense of
the black voter.
As it is Col. Roosevelt has come
hnC
strong, and in proportion as the Col
onel goes up Mr.. Taft goes down.

NIock Enic.

Twas In old Chimborazo Park
He heard a woman cry.
For she'd received a ringing smack
Which barely missed her eye:
The woman was SO fair that he
Felt sure she must be white,
But the man who delt the blow was
sure
A Negro black as night.
The race pride IN the white man
blazed.
He could not curb his ire.
He drew HIS gun, with deadly aim
Let so with scathing fire.
The BLACK assailant few apace.
The maiden blushing stood,
While her defender now drew near,
Ablaze with brave manhood.
But 10, what was il now he saw,
The smoke had cleared away?
Great Scot! there stood a Negro girl
AS plain as light of day.
Twas now the mans time TO fly,
And down the road he ran:
To think! he thus had compromised
His standing as a man.
His Aryan blood boiled at the
thought;
But he'd defied the law.
The police justice he must face,
And fines and bonds he saw.
So. safely out OF reach he hied
While the police caught the black,
And he and the fair dusky maid
Were hauled up TO the rack.
Conduct disorderly, was the charge
Preferred against the pair.
And no doubt the'll soon forget
Old Chimborazo square.
a lonely woman to defend
Is kRightly, brave and right!
But, would our Knight have thus be
haved
Had this same pair been white?
In that case, though Caucasian pure,
Her sex might not appeal.
The aggressor being in all respects
His equal, he would feel,
Not called upon TO play the knight
With pistol, sword, or spear.
But shut his eyes and stop his ears.
Go further! not draw near.

Professor Joyce Enthusiastic Over

From all present Indications the
wrestling tournament which win be

will rival both. in numbers and talent,
the best that have been held here for
several years. not excepting the highly
successful meet recently promoted Joint
~ by the National Guard Athletic AS
sociation and the Memorial Athletic
Club. Professor Maurice Joyce, at Car
roll Institute, received the first bunch
of entries this morning along with sew
eral letters from local and Out-of-town
bodies asserting that they would have
their full lists entered for the various
competitions.
Joyce IS one OF the pioneer wrestling
promoters Of this city and understands
The handling Of a tournament thorough
ly. His events Of the past are still
clear in the minds Of the many crap
piers here and in Baltimore. and tho
ngu1ber Of early entries plainly show
the faith which the athletes have IN
his meets. II Is expected that George
town University will make one Of its
semi-occasionaI bows at the coming
tournament. Joyce has handled the blue
sni gray grapplers for the past few
years and is particularly enthusiastic
over the ability OF the man under his
charge at present Last season the coll
