TO ABANDON
THEIR OLD POSITION
THE REGULAR REPUBLICANS
SLIP ONE OVER ON THE
PROGRESSIVE CLAN.

Washington, Aug. IA shrewd
move on the part of the regular Re
pubicans today, and as effective as
unexpected threw the Senate into a
turmoil and incidentally the Demo
Gratis into their own rights, and abso-
lutely forced the insurgents to aban-
don tholr coalition with the Demo
Gratis.
The move was this. The regulars
by agreement before hand, stayed
away from the session and left the
Insurgents TO themselves with the
Democrats, greatly outnumbered by
the latter. out OF the chaos came 6
bill on the revision Of the cottor
schedule, Just as the Democrats
wanted IT, before the confercnc,
agreement with Senator La Follett,
and the insurgents.
The srcwdness of the move lies II
this: The bill, while passed today
will meet with the veto of the Presi
dent as did the wool bill today
Then the regulars will muster al
their forces and the Democrats vii
be unable to pass the bin over tn
veto of the President, if the calcu
lated and well under headway es
trangment with the insurgents take
place.
Senator Bristow of Kansas bold
declared that the shrewd move
the result of an agreement with Ger
tain Democrats and the regular Re
publIcans, declaring that he over
heard conversation between Sen
ator johnson of Alabama and Re
publican Leader penrose Of Pennsyl
vania, and that there was no douh
i'm his mind that there had been

Visit of Dubois
SET KENTUClIIANS AND TENNES-
SEEANS TO WONDERING WHAT
HIS CRITICS THINK OF
SPEECH OF SENATOR BORAH
EXCORIATING REPUBLICANS.

Louisville, Ky, FEBRUARY 2Oth:--
kentuckians and Tennesseeans are
wondering what the critics OF Du-
Bots and his European letter think
of the speech Of Senatora Borah last
week The Senator from Idaho told
some truth. He as good as said that
things were not growing half as
much better as some desired to have
the world believe about the Negro:
he said that the Negro was having
the. chains Of industry forged about
bulned unjustly both North and
South. He insisted that the Negro
should have all his rights under the
constitution but that it was not ne
cessary to have so much "soft-soap'
about things as they are now. He
told the truth. 1T is up to Booker
Washington's newspaper friends to
jump on Borah, even if he did not
mention Booker5 name in his speech.
We doubt the wisdom Of the let
ter Dubois and the others sent to
Europe. But We do not know their
motive. Certainly they have as
much right to prosecute their ideas
about the lace as Booker r. Wash
Ington or any other man. Dubois
will do so in spite OF any criticism
by the newspapers, white or black,
and he knows pretty We'll how TO go
about what he wants. He is simply
a searcher after the truth and when
he finds it, he has the courage to
tell it to the world. He is an origi-
nal man and the most advanced Ne
| ton. His ideas are worth something
10 the race and to mankind every
where. Nobody criticiseS bis race in
| I general way more than Booker
Washington. His "Chaptens" in the
Worlds Work are teeming with crit
icism Of Negro fo1lies. He simply
uses more tact than Dubois and does
mot mention names and thus avoids
drawing the fire Of many who would
| not hesitate to jump on him. The
other man, Dubois, believes more III
| the diplomacy Of straigh t-fOrWard-
ness and instead of going in a round
about way strikes straight at WASH
| ingtOn or anybody else.
AS a newspaper correspondent and
writer we are servant to no man or
| set Of men. Fairness 20 all is our
creed. Booker Washington means
no more to us personally than W. e.
3. Dubois. They are just two Negro
lcen who must be measured finally
| by the sum total Of the evil or good
they have wrought in the world.
| History will tell that. Men Of learn
ling everywhere readily concede that
they are two entirely different types
| in training and ideals and could
never be brought together. The en-
tire thought Of the race is centcred
around these two men and they in
the very largest measure represent
| all there Is Of intellectual and ma
Lerial progress. No man will carve
