the people Of the United States. Con-
WINGED that the public mind has been
impressed by attacks of various kinds
upon the administration In many
parts of the country. and that the
criticism cannot be permitted to pass
unanswered without injury TO Re
publican prestige, the party leaders
have decided to carry the war into
the enemy's country. President Taft
is declared TO be ready and anxious
to assume the offensive.
The opening guns will be fired
next Saturday night, in Washington
fby the President in person and in
Chicago by Attorney General Wick
ersham."
1t is evident that to Hon. Ralph
w. Tyler, Auditor for the Navy, has
been entrusted the task OF answer
ing the Afro-American critics OF the
administration. From the scant ma
terial he has at hand. he has done
very well for a beginner. He makes
no promises for the future, further
than TO beseech the average voter
and ofice-seeker TO hope for better
times and better things. To our mind
President Taft's republicanism means
nothing to the average citizen of
color. His genial personality though
leads one 90 expect much from him
as a man. IS

and leader Of the Republican Party.

That all OF the men could not have
been guilty. even viewed in it's worst
aspect goes without question and yet
the innocent were punished with the
alleged guilty. 1t is gratifying thing
TO know tina: the colored people can
stand this further evidence of the ia
justices now everywhere prevalent in
this country. The affair has now been
removed from the arena of public
consideration, but the memory of the
affair will rankle in the bosom Of
the average citizen Of color for many
years to come and it may be that il
may take another radical form in the
attempt TO wreak revenge upon some
body at the polls.
Be that is il may. It is best we
presume that the matter end here
and colored folks like us look to
God and the future for vindication
and relief. Peace has its victories.

THE BLUNDER IN MARYLAND.

Colored men throughout the coun-
try should rejoice over the action OF
the Maryland Legislature in passing
the Digges bill DISTINGUISHING citi-
zens OF color in Ell state and muni-
cipal elections. For thirty years col
ored men have vainly endeavored TO
get a decision from the nine judicial
phinXos al Washington. better known
as the Justices OF the Supreme Court
OF the United STATES They have re-
peatedly ignored every point OF law
made in an effort 20 obtain ruling
upon these vital questions affecting
the DISTINGUISHING of the colored PEG
pie in the Southland.
Now the Democrats OF Maryland
have had the nerve to squarely bring
the question 20 an issue and in a
way that will compel a ruling by the
United States supreme Court. II
there is "a man. woman or child who
believes that the Supreme Court viii
sustain this species OF legislation, ne
or she viii De und eceived. This act
on the part of the Maryland Legisla-
ture is the direct result OF previous
rulings Of the United States Supreme
Court. It has divorced the state
from the nation in all matters per
tanning to the Negroes that TO be con-
sistent, it should sustain the conten-
tions Of the Negro aters Of Mary
land
When IL sustains the contention
though it Will find that Il has ruled
worse than it could possibly know and
IL will open up an avenue of techni-
cal questions that will plague the
court for a half century or more. We
have no fear of the result however.
II the Fifteenth Amendment can be
nullified by legislation then the
Thirteenth Amendment abolishing
slavery is subject TO similar treat

not tomorrow then the day there

THE BROWNSVILLE FINDINGS.

The action OF the Court of Enquiry
in the Brownsville investigation In
declaring that colored soldiers shot
up Brownsville Texas will hardly oc-
casion any surprise on the part OF
those who have followed the trend of
its Investigations. 1t seemed that it
was a case where the evidence had
been prepared before hand. One side
had the money and the influence, and
the other side had only its energy.
We were under the impression at the
time that the members OF the court
were named that it's duty was to as
certain II any OF all of the members
OF Companies, B. G and d, OF the

THE ADMINISTRATIONS
DEFENSE.

Let fortune do her worst. what
ever she makes US lose, as long as
she never makes us lose our honesty
and our independence. Pope
Hon. Ralph W. Tyler. Auditor for
the Navy and who is from Ohio.
has issued a defense OF the present
administration. AS ne holds one OF
the most important positions that
has ever been rendered to a citizen
OF color. he necessarily attracts at
tention, whenever he issues an ad-
dress 20 the Afro-American public
70 may be we'll TO state that when
President Taft admitted that he felt
keenly the criticism Of the press. he
made tactical error in that he ad-
vised a hostile press exactly where
he was most vulnerable in his politi-
cal armOr and 10 will know just
where TO aim the jayelins Of misery.
Mr.. Tyler says:
In judging President Taft's Ad-
miuistration. in so.far as il has had
a bearing on the Negro race, not a
few Negroes have fallen into the err
ror of considering alone the number
and quality OF political appointments
TO date. An equitable representation
in the Offices. whether North or
South, is admittedly the wish and
hope Of every Negro. and he consid-
ers u but the just recognition OF his
citizenship, and his loyalty, too, and
observance CO thS laws 81 his coun-
try. still. however, II must not be
assumed that political appointments
alone constitute the one and only
basis upon which to predicate criti-
cism of President Taft and his Ad-
ministration.
Mr. Tyler is correct in his state
ment. but he should also be equally
correct in mis- analysis OF the criti-
cisms of the conservative colored
men. who have not made the appoint
ment OF colored men to political Of
fees the sole basis OF their criticisms
of the distinguished occupant Of the
White House. He then INDUCES in
an apology for the alleged shortcom-
ings OF his Chief. which shOrt-com-
ings are not alone along the line OF his
failure and disinclination to appoint
colored men TO Office Mr.. Tyler con-
tinues:
"Regrettable though it be. there
is a real and fancied line Of distinc-
tion between the whites and Negroes
of this country. President Taft in
his every public utterance has shown
that he is out Of sympathy both with
the real and fancied line of distinc-
ton. However. this has not closed his
