RECORD OF THE REPUBLICAN

PARTY.
Colored Americans having beer
permitted to be disfranchised in the
Southern States under Republican
rule.
The appointment of ex-Confed
crates and Southern Democrats upon
the Supreme Court of the United
States.
The appointment of ex-Confed-
crates and Southern Democrats in
the Cabinet by President Taft.
The declaration of President Taft
that he would appoint no colored man
to office who may be Objectionable
to the white people.
Race discrimination permitted upon
the railroads South, and the enact
ment Of "Jim Crow" car laws.
The removal of Southern colored
office holders in the South from office
and the appointment of Democrats
and ex-Confederates in their stead
With such a record for the Repub.
lican party to go to the country on
in 1912 to capture the colored vote
will be bound to be effective. The
colored voters throughout the coun-
try have opened their eyes, and be-
tween now and 1912 they will keep
them open.-The Bee, Wash. D. c.
The Editor of the Bee, w. Calvin
Chase is a delegate to the Republican

same. What are you going to do
about it?

THE THREE GUARDSMEN.

Stanley Washburn, Walter M. New
ton and Andy Rain are the young
progressive campaign managers of
Hennepin Co. They did well. A
shelf appointment may be offered
these gentlemen to hinder their po-
litical progress. We do not give them
every credit for the defeat of the
Taft machine, but hope that, by
their concerted efforts and past ex-
periences, they may again lead Hen
nepin and Minnesota to victory in
the final issue-the Presidential cleo
ton in November.

RACE HAS HIGH IDEALS.

Pres. Taft recently said that "the
Colored Race has high ideals" That's
just why they are supporting Roose-
welt in whom they realize a cham
pion Of right, not an apologist like
Pres. Taft, who has sustained the
bred Scott decision by refusing to ap,
point Negroes to offices wherever 1t
was Objectionable to white men, and
who by the appointment Of Southern
Confederates to the Supreme Bench
has denied the Negroes their Con-
stitutional Rights. Roosevelt never
closed the door of hope in the face
of the Negro.

MEMORIAL DAY.
Lest We Forget"

Memorial Exercises in honor Of the
Fallen Heroes of the Negro Race"
should be observed. The Star sug-
gests that services be held on June l,
in our churches. This Is matter of
vital Importance. We have many
relatives and friends among the de-
parted, whose memory is dear to US,
but there Is one whose services to
his country won for our race its
highest honors. Shall we forget the
American Negro Soldiers?

Q by American Press Association
THEODORE ROOSEVELT

The. Brownsville agitators should
remember that President Taft re-
fused to appoint Hon. Joseph Benson
Foraker, the friend of the Negro, the
advocate of the discharged soldiers,
and the benefactor of the President,
to the Supreme Bench. Yet they
would say that Taft is the only God
of their salvation.

Maj. Butt Said to Have Had
italian Kings Peace Terms

Maj. Archibald Butt. the President q
aid. who is believed to have gone down
with the Titanic, is said to have had in
his possession an autograph letter from
King Victor Of Italy to President Taft in
answer to the suggested creation of an
International peace commission for the
settlement Of the differences between
Italy and Turkey. It Is reported that the
Italian king. addressing the President OF
the United States in an informal way,
indicated that any steps taken by the
United States to bring the war with Tur-
key to an end will not be opposed by the
Italian government, provided Italy's SOW
ereignty over Tripoli is acknowledged as q
basic preliminary to such negotiations.
While In Rome, Maj. Butt called on the
Italian monarch and personally delivered
to him an autograph letter from President
Taft and later was intrusted with the
kings reply. It is understood that Italy
Is willing to pay a reasonable indemnity
for Tripoli. The Turkish government.
however. is not willing to enter on any
peace negotiations that involve the re-
iinquishment Of Tripoli except on her own
terms. AS Italy will not agree to that
the prospects Of an agreement are not
considered bright. In case Mai. Butt
was the bearer OF q personal letter from
the Italian king to the President and it
was lost it could be duplicated without
much trouble. The same would apply to
any personal message which the POPE
may have intrusted to Mai Butt for de-
livery to the President.

disposal of sewage in Montgomery and
Prince Georges counties, Md, which Ii
threatened with q delay OF two years a.

District Of Columbia to confer with a
similar committee to be appointed by the

RED CROSS TO APPEAL
TO nation FOR FUNDS
People of United States Will
Be Asked to Aid Relief of
Titanic's Destitute.

After a conference at the White House
today between Mr. Nagel, the Secretary
of Commerce and Labor: C. D. Hilles,
secretary to President, Taft. and Miss Ma
bel Boardman. the active head OF the
american Red Cross, 1t was announced
that an appeal to the people Of the United
States probably would be sent broadcast
today by the Red Cross for funds to aid
the destitute rescued from the Titanic.
Miss Boardman said that while. the Red
Cross had small fund in bank, owing to
the fact that it recently had expended
large amounts in the Mississippi valley
floods. in Mexico and In other places, a
general appeal to the American nation
was deemed necessary. The Red Cross,
she said. undoubtedly. would work in
sympathy with the Department of Com
merce and Labor and its customs off,
Gals.
The funds will be raised .chiefy to be
used in transporting the rescued women
to their homes. Part of any fund col
lccted might be used also for the fam
lilies of the dead sailors Of the Titanic,
hundreds Of whom, Miss Boardman be-
lieves. sacrificed their chances Of life
that American women might be saved
Director Bicknell Active.
In spite Of the fact that the Titanic
was British boat. and that the British
Red Cross is expected to respond to the
emergency, the American Red Cross, Miss
Boardman said, would not forget the
British sailors who died to save American
women.
After the conference Miss Boardman
hurried to the War Department to pre-
pare the appeal.
It Is probable that Mr.. Bicknell, ma
tional director of the Red Cross, will go
to New York to aid the immigration on
Gals in determining what third-class pas
sengers are in need Of assistance, and
who have relatives In this country upon
whom they can depend, as well as ascer-
tanning which ones desire to return to
their native country.
