Becker and Thaw.

The electrOcutiOn of Becker,
the former police captain, and the
alleged instigator Of the murder
of Rosenthal, and the declaration
Of the court upon the sanity OF
Thaw, the murderer OF Stanford
White, closes the last pages III the
record of two crimes, which has
attracted international interest.
No where in the criminal history
of the Negro in this or in any
other country can parallel be
found. 1t is SO strange that III
the face of the revelations made
in the conduct of both cases, rev
elatiOns which must cast shad-
ow upon the social purity and
official integrity of white society,
that the black man should be held
up to public scorn as a social out
cast by the representatives Of this
race. Let the white newspapers
be charitable in view of their own
racial conduct which is every
thing else but satisfactory. The
foundation of morality and the
key to consistent living is the
grace of God in the human heart,
and the ethics of Christianity as
the standard of human action.
Character like intellect has no
color.

ton Of intrigues, launched by his
prosecutors, the severe mental ef-
feet of which, in the judgment OF
his friends, aggravated the sharp
ness Of his complaint, and has
tened his death.
No public man had better op-
portunity to defend his race IN
the American Forum than he. As
a general officer of the great
Methodist Episcopal Church he
had entire to the best people of
both races. Besides this unusual
advantage he was in demand at
chataquas, and upon every occa-
sion he gave good account of him
self. He was one Of the men who
received a large complimentary
vote for the bishopric in the gen
eral conference of 1904, which
convened il Baltimore. No Off
cial during his time, and it will be
a long while III the future before
any other will come up, who will
have the confidence Of the Church
in so large a degree, or who will
sway the masses by his matchless
eloquence and his meritorious
service to mankind as did NJ. {.

Texas Disgraced.

Texas to the front again-her
conduct is a disgrace to civiliza-
ton. No offence, no matter how
ever grave. is a justification for
her shooting and burning Of a
human being in a Christian coun-
try. This conduct of Texas puts
her in the barbarous age. Just
think Of burning human being,
in the open plaza, before men,
women and children. Can these
people lay any real claims to civ
ilization and Christianity? The
offense of this man was murder
horrid and wicked. But he was
only one man, belonging to the
race, with the law and
it's machinery in the hands of the
race-thus making the
vengeance Of the law safe and
secure.
If these Texans were not bar
barians they would have acted in
a different way. They would
have saved their women and chill
dren from the shame Of tiff these
are capable OF shame.
It is bad enough to burn human
being-but to burn him before
women, boys and girls is a crime
Of crimes. What an object les
son for the youth Of that State.
O! God pity poor barbarous
Texas.

SATURDAY AUG. 7, 1915,
Governor Goldsborough.

Governor Goldsborough has
broken his long silence. In pub
lished statement Thursday last he
announced his decision not to be a
candidate to succeed himself as
Governor Of the State Of Mary
land. In the judgment Of
thoughtful Republicans, many OF
whom are his personal friends,
this was the wise thing to do.
Even if nominated, The Con-
MoNWEALTH is of the opinion that
he could not be elected. Govern
or Goldsborough went back upon
his friends-the people who made
him Governor. Without their aid
and influence he never could have
been elected Governor The col
ored people stood by him i'll his
fight for Governor. Without their
vote it would have been impos-
sible for him to win: but he gave
them no recognition, and if he had
been a candidate again, he never
could have commanded their sup
port. The men who are now cam
didates for gubernatorial honors
will do we'll to have III mind the
Governors record on this line.
No Republican can be Governor
of Maryland without the colored
mans vote. And this vote de-
mands proper treatment, as is ac-
corded to other race elements, in
the body polite, or It will remain
a negative quantity on the day Of
election
THE COMMONWEALTH is sup
porting Mr.. Weller, but there are
some questions which it expects
him to answer before the day OF
election.

State of the Country.

The Washington Government,
on account of international com
plications with Haiti, Mexico,
Germany and England, is in a
most Critical condition. Mr. Will
son has his hands full, and he is
entitled to the sympathy of every
patriotic American.
The problems which confront
our State Department are not
easy of solution. Gcrmany's last
act, viz: the wanton destruction of
the Iberian, causing the loss OF
the lives of American citizens, is
in open defiance Of our govern
ment's demands for the freedom
of the sea and the cessation of
submarine warfare.

Hanna For Weller.

Hanna has set the pace for his
colleagues. No man has profted
more through the victory of the
Republican party in the nation
and state than Hanna. Taft re-
warded him with Collector Of IN
ternal Revenue, federal plum
for which the best of men would
crave, and when Wilson invited
him out Goldsborough inducted
him into the Craftsmanship of the
Industrial Commission six
thousand dollar plum.
We can imagine how Hanna
felt during the suspense created
by the silence Of the Governor.
What burden fell from his back
when the oracle at Annapolis
spoke Hurrah for Hanna! We
congratulate him upon his honor
able discharge from an obligation
which undoubtedly must have
caused him many restless nights.
Now let his followers close up the
ranks behind him, and proudly
and loyalty march to the strain Of
Weller's music.

these powers with which we
are at odds, take a notion to
openly defy us, by sending an
armed force to lombard our coast
towns, and destroy what few
coastwise ships still remaining to
our national credit. This alarm
ing condition Of affairs, which ex-.
poses our national safety, is due
to class Of backward statesman
ship, whose only asset is race
prejudice and race-hatred, who
wastes the precious time of the
Legislature in the introduction
and passage of bills calculated
to huniliate and discriminate
against one class of the ration's-
citizenry.
No Improvement of this condi-
ton can be looked for until the
people rise up in their might and
annihilate the cause responsible
for these effects.

No Private Room In Baltimore
w
Hospitals.

Perhaps the people of Baltimore
are not aware Of the fact that no
colored person can get a private
room in any one OF the many hos
pitals operating in the city. No
matter what his rank, prestige,
position, or ability to pay for it
may be, a private room, where he
can have the attention of a special
nurse, the visits of his loved ones.
and other comforts, enjoyed by
white patients cannot be OBJ
tanned. Even in hospital found
ed primarily for the alleviation OF
human sufferings, the social ques-
tiOn has been allowed to intrude
itself where it has no business,
for hospital is an eleemosynary
institution and not a social organ
ization. Notwithstanding our
boast as a Christian people, we
nevertheless allow race prejudice
to override the ethics of Christi
anity, and the religion of the
white people seems powerless to
modify this feeling, which is cap
able Of sacrificing any principle
of justice and humanity in order
to keep it alive. The black man
has no race prejudice. What ap-
pears to be race prejudice is race
resentment, caused by the unjust
discrimination of the white peo-
pie against the black people in
public institutions supported by
state aid, to which the black peo-
pie contribute their share.
