Negro Appreciation of Judge Witt.


Editor of the Vrginan:
S!r,=The sad news comes TO -Hs that eaf
friend Judge Samuel b. Witt is dead, and we
beg the privilege of mingling our tears of be-
reavement with those of his numerous friends
who mourn their loss.
As 1t was said OF the great Hebrew Law
giver, Moses. It can be said OF Judge Witt. He
loved the people,.
Without regard to creed, color. or condition,
he judged them in righteousness, truth and JUS
tiee
Possessing most beautiful character, kind
hearted, courteous. congenial and dignlhed ne
went In and out before us; and great was
our attachment to him that we regarded bis
words and deeds as scarcely less than benedic-
lions.
II ever mortal man was the idol OF the peo-
Pile Judge Samuel B. Witt was that man. lie
was friend to all and foe to none. he was
great He good and true. he was one OF
heavens best gifts to the people of Richmond,
and we mourn his death as an almost personal
bereavement
Having served his generation by the Will or
God we trust and pray that he now hnds his
gell-earned rest with the great and good of all
ages before the throne OF God down at the feet
of our blessed Saviour for truly He has said.
Other sheep have ! which are not OF this fold,
them also must bring.
Should unavoidable circumstances prevent
the coored people from attending the funerai
services in large numbers. we wish 1t under
stood that We are all there in heart and genu-
me sympathy. q. ID. LEWIS

CURRENT COMMENT


During Mr.. Bryans campaign against Gov
ernor Harmon In Ohio he said: Il shall never
be nominated again. My most priced posses
sions are one hundred letters in my safe at
Lincoln. written TO me by Nebraska men when
had enlisted for the Spanish war in which
they offered to substitute at the front for me
Many OF these letters were poorly written and
some OF them we're illiterate. but the tenor OF
them all was that had a mission to perform
In the public life OF the nation. while the
writer of each had no one dependent upon him,
regar riding himself as more or less worthless
citizen compared with me, and said his life
would never be missed He said the other
day: Those one hundred men were willing
TO die for me, and would rather die now and
desert the ideals they had of me and OF my

The New York Sun, which, as everybody
knows has heretofore divided it's sarcasm I'M
partially between Governor Wilson and MI
Roosevelt, stops long enough In Its light against
the Colonel to give the friends and campaign
managers OF Mr.. TAFT some excellent advieo
with reference to the Democratic candidate
We reproduce the article on this page Tor TWO
reasons: first because 1t furnishes cumulative
and striking evidence OF the realization, even
in hostile quarters, Of the growing strength or
the Wilson candidacy; and second. because II
is in itself the acme OF wise political counsel,
This advice. In a word, Is not to attempt 20
defeat Governor Wilson by dwelling on appar-
emit Inconsistencies In his past and present
opinions by trying to prove by his writings
that he is an enemy OF somebody or other ana
something or other" This style OF campaign
is like throwing spitballs In the face OF 1ne
public" Intelligent people are not going To be
Influenced by what he said as president ct
Princeton" as historian and lecturer but what
he stands for nav and what he says in MS
letter OF acceptance and in his campaign
speeches.
Probably this advince will fall on deaf ears
for the professional politician is not so wise in
such matters. despite all his shre~dness, as the
children OF light. He has the same obstinate.
hidebound way of sticking to old methods that
80 often characterizes the unenlightened cor
porations, and he will doubtless keep on vast
ing his strength and time In trying 10 find
some thing on Wilson. The net result will be
that he will get dustier and dirtier the deeper
he digs into the past. while the object of his
inquiries will be making new record, and one
that interests the people in his mara thon race
to the White House.--Baltimore Sun.

EXTENSION OF POLICE POWER.

Mayor Gaynor does not shine in the excite

n'vance OF the police. of the gambler Rosen-

The mayor has much evidence 10 Justify his
remarks to the effect that Rosenthal was

OF organized vice that robs It's members of
suy sort OF public regard.
But that in not the point. The gamblers the
crooks the rir-raf, exist as the benehcaries

have happened only as the result OF police
revenge and protection. AS we have said ne
