Republican Peabdy War Debt and Re
publican Excess Warrant Debt
Amount to $3,o75,ooo

The press agent Of the Republican
party is again spreading his false.
hooSs concerning the administration
Of the past year. He claims that the
state is bankrupt and greatly in debt.
and says: III Governor Peabody can
be styled the war debt governor, as
they are pleased to call him. cannot
Governor Shafroth be styled the peace
debt governor"
The difference is that not one dollar
OF Indebtedness of the state has been
incurred during the Shafroth admins.

sue state bonds to the amount of $780,
900 for the unjust and uncalled-for
war debt incurred in the Cripple Creek
and other strikes during the Peabody
Republican administration, and is
about to issue bonds 10 the extent OF
s2,l15,OO0 to take up the outstanding
warrants issued in excess OF the rev
enues received to meet the running ex-
penses OF Republican administrations
OF twenty-odd years ago.

The Negro Question.

@#9E&a#8
Hon. w. @. Hart, a prominent
citizen of New Orleans, who at
tended the Roosevelt convention
in Chicago, says in an interview
in the Picayune:
The disposition at the Roose-
velt convention of the negro
question was as striking as it was
insincere. All the negro delega-
ties from the Southern StatesWere
rejected, because there the negro
vote is not a factor, while from
the border states and the North
they were welcomed with open
arms, and one from New York
was allowed to mske an inaudible
speech.
There were negro delegates
from West Virginia, Maryland,
N ew Yor K, New Jersey,
I think Pennsyl
vania a, Ohio and Rhode
Island, and in all these states ex-
cept Rhode Island the ne
gro vote, in normal times, is es-
sential to Republican success be-
cause of the white vote the
Democrats are usually in the
majority. I do not believe that
Mr.. Roosevelt will receive, in the
eleven Southern States as many
votes as Mr.. Taft did in 1908, but
there can be no doubt that his
nomination will destroy Mr. Tafts
chances, and, after all, this is, /
think, the prime object of the
movement.

Four Submarines for New
Orleans.

Washington, Aug. 19.-With
the agreement today Of the SEN
ate and house conferees on the
naval bill, New Orleans was as
sured of four submarines for
protection of the city and the
mouth Of the Mississippi. the con
ferees agreeing on one battleship
and eight submarines. The bill
provides that four submarines
are to be stationed at New Or
leans. The report will be ac-
cepted BY both houses.
The agreement amounts to a
concession to the Senate in the
matter of battleships and a CON
cession to the house in respect
to submarines. The house at
first fought against any battle
ships, and finally consented to
one. It wanted eight submarines.
The Senate wanted two battle
ships and no submarines; the
Senate yielded on the submarines
and the House meets the Senate
halfway on battleships. The
