The matter Of amusemeEts and en-
tertainment will be one OF the main
things to work out. The mineral
wells resort in Texas is flourishing
despite the absurd requirements Of
Texas law that everybody shall play
dominoes CT do nothing Cards are
contraband in Texas, It may as well
be understood now that neither the
ultra-moral nor the highly immoral
elment will be allowed to control
Guthrie in this resort business, and
that all statutes looking to compul
sorry attendance at prayer meeting
at a dance hall, poker game or a
pnik tea will get the axe from the
average citizen.

a serious matter when the high.

We should all work together for

There are many urgent needs
for the best interests of Hayti
for the new city government to
look after, and we believe that
the newly elected mayor and
aldermen are fully capable of
looking after them. They are
all good men, the choice of the
people and elected by the peo-
pie, and as such, we are sure
they will serve the people. One
OF the first, greatest and most
important things to be consider
ed is new ordinances. The old
ordinances are obsolete (out-of,
date) and of little practical use,
AS they are amended, changed
rehashed, and many new ones
enacted. Besides, some of the
new ordinances are torn from
the records and some are lost.
So it is difficult for the executive
officers, the mayor, city attor.

tell just when they are right OF
what to do, and this uncertainty
may, if not remedied, cost the
city considerable. Our present

TAFT AND BOOKER II.

was written by Thomas Dixon
from Chicago to the st. Louis
Republic of March 9th and it
speaks so forcefully our own
sentiments that we publish it in
full:
To the Editor of The Republic:
| must say that it seems in
credible that Booker II. Wash
ington is guilty of the crime of
which Ulrich and the woman in
the case accuse him. And vet it
was certainly a shock to me, as
it must have been to every citi-
zen of America, when the chief
magistrate of the United States
so far forgot his dignity as to
rush to the defense of this negro
before a court of Justice could
pronounce Judgment in the case.
President Taft in his eager.
ness to favor the negro, actually
denounceS the white man who
was acting in defense of his home
and the sanctity of its woman
hood. Surely a white man has
as much right to "A fair trial as IA
negro. If he is guilty the courts
should decide it on the evidence
presented at the trial. The Pres
ident of the United States has
lowered the dignity of his high
Office by attempting to interfere
with the process of law for poll
tical reasons. Mr.. Taft was u
Judge before he became PrcSi-
dent. He stood for the dignity.
integrity and power of the courts
In this act he has reversed his
practice and set a dangerous and
vicious precedent.
If Booker II. Washington is
guilty he should suffer the conse-
quenceS. The President of the
United States has no right to use
his mighty Office to whitewaSh Il
man accused of crime, merely
because his skin is black. He
has no right to interfere with our
courts of justice to shield any
man, black or white, nor has he
any right to condem this man
Ulrich before the court pro
nounces him guilty.
The President declares it
would be a national calamity if
this incident should interrupt
the work of the great leader of
the negro race. | say it woul d
be far greater calamity if he is
guilty and yet is allowed to con
tinue his work as an educator Of
negro youth. Booker II. Wash
ingtOn must convince the Ameri-
can people that his accuser is IA
liar, or resign his position. His
word is not enough because he
is a negro educator. He must
produce convincing proofs with.
out the aid of the President.
There's Il lie in it somewhere,
either Booker Washington has
lied or the who accused him.
This case must be tried on its
merits. The white man surely
has some rights in court negro
and his friends must respect.
Personally, ] repeat it seems
incredible to me that Washing
ton is guilty. But the circum-
stances are curious and Suspici-
Gus. His statement is conflict.
ing and his action in running
away is against him.
If | should catch any negro,
educated or uneducated, noSing
around my door in suspicious
way when defenseless womer
were behind that door, ! should
certainly attempt to kill him
Education is the development OF
that which is in man. 1t does
not change his nature. 1t only
gives that nature more power
For this reason | have alway.
maintained that education doe.
| not solve the negro problem. L
only makes it more dangerous
and apparently insoluble.
