made such a brilliant fight as the
opposing candidate for governor
when Hon. w. Nj. o. Dawson was
elected, has An editorial on "the re.
cent election" from which the fol-
lowing paragraphs are clipped:
sit is true perhaps that the re-
tentioD Of the control of the House
is due TO the fact that in 24O con-
gressional districts there were Bull
Moose candidates. Had it not been
for these the House would probably
be Republican by so majority. In
addition to that the European war
and President Wilson's patient and
efficient handling of the many deli.
cate and diplomatic problems un.
questionably caused many persons
to vote to sustain his course who
might otherwise have registered a
protest against certain policies and
activities of the Democratic con.
gress and administration.
On the face of the returns, we
frankly admit there was not a great
deal of encouragement for the
Democratic leaders, as the result in
New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois,
Ohio and numerous other Eastern
and Middle-westeTn states was such
as TO indicate disposition on the
part of the voters not only to re-
store the Republican party to oow-
er but TO give over that party alb
solutely to the control again of Can
non, Penrose, Barnes and the stand
pat leaders and influences rule.
One thing Is plain from the re-
suit, and that is that the Bull
Moose party is dead, dead beyond
resurrection. 1t IL true that thew
polled enough votes in many con-
gressional districts to enable the
Democratic candidates to get a plu.
rality but the party az a living, vital
force IN American politics il no

doubtless go into the Democratic
party. The remainder will 90 back

plain. 1t can be given in two
words. Bad Business. The man

II is useless TO deny that the

OPTIMISM is ESSENTIAL

''It is natural that we should be
sensitive to the wrongs inflicted
upon us. But optimism rather
than pessimism, should possess
our souls. 1t is the splendid opti-
mism of Booker T. Washington
that makes him unmindful of the
intermittent shots fired by isolated
enemies of the race, while pursu-
ing. with all his might and main a
constructive programme for race
betterment and improved recipro-
cal<respect between the races. 1t
is we'll that we should voice our
protests against any and all at
tempts to abridge or restrict our
rights and privileges under the con
stitution. But it is likewise well
that we express our approval and
appreciation of the splendid help
full, vitalizing assistance which
white friends daily are lending to
counteract the activities and de-
signs of our enemies.
Without the help of white
friends the cause of Negro educa-
tion today, after half a century of
freedom, would scarcely have
emerged from the embryonic stage.
The silent, benevolent white fac.
tprs outside the Legislative halls

Washington, July 14.-Is the
American Negro over. sensitive to
opposition, er-indifferent to sup.
port?
Answering the question in a
substantial affirmative, Ralph w.
Tyler takes occasion to speak
word of warning to the people of
his race. Mr.. Tyler is a native of
Ohio. His ability brought him
forward, and Presidents Roosevelt
and Taft recognized him through
appointment to the post of auditor
for the navy department. Mr..
Tyler has stood high and stands
high in the confidence of Booker
Il. Washington, of TusAegee in
stitute. Even now he represents
as national organizer the National
Negro Business league, with head
quarters here, OF which Mr.. Wash
ington is president and whose ob-
ject is ''to promote the commercial
and financial development of the
Negro" Having just concluded a
trip covering more than 10000
miles, desirous of arousing the
race to greater sense of apprecia-
ton of the white mans friendship,
thus carrying forward the man
date of the organization he repre-
sents and in large measure pre-
sumahly voicing the opinions Mr..
Booker T. Washington, Mr. Tyler
dictated a rather out-of-the ordi-
nary interview for the readers of
the Times Star.
FEELS INTENSITY CRITICISMS.
LAS race" says Mr.. Tyler,
1--WE are too prone, perhaps to en-
phasize the evils some few of the
whites would aim at us; and too in
considerable of the help others of
the same race are rendering us;
rebellious against the wrongs some
white men inhlct upon us, but too
unappreciative of the benefits
others bestow on us; too hasty in
our sweeping denunciation of the
whites because of some discrimi-
mating measure which some white
legislator would have enacted into
law. and too unmindful of the
forceful and unselfish service
which other white men are render
ing us. We seek assidously after
the bitter criticisms heaped upon
us by unfriendly publications,
while we overlook the splendid ed
itorials and helpful articles dissem-
mated by a friendly press. In
short, we exaggerate the wrongs
and minimize the good the whites
do us, both as individuals and as a
race.
"Within the past twenty years
our white friends in this country
have privately contributed over
