How Roosevelt Backed Wiley Now Made Public Henry Leach Needham Accuser Willey of Being "Notably Unfair to T. R. The Man Who Stood Back on Him in the Bitterest Fight of His Official Career at Washington. --- Henry Beach Needham is several things—a good writer and a better Washington correspondent, in short a man of alert eyes, of satisfying memory and facile pen. He has done work for a great many newspapers, and a great many magazines. He knows all about Washington politics. He ought to. He has been on the ground for years and knows the situation from every side—Republican, Democratic, Progressive, inside and out. He has probably written more interviews with Roosevelt than any other writer. So when it happened the other day that someone said something about Roosevelt, Mr. Needham had his own opinions about the matter. Moreover, he had the facts in his own possession. He has put them down here with fine feeling,—the feeling that comes from deep-rooted conviction of the truth. But why go on? Let Mr. Needham speak for himself. He wrote his own title for this article, and it follows: T. R., AND "DOC." WILEY By Henry Beech Needham. A bill designed, supposedly, to regulate, if not gradicate "the great American fraud" was passed at the last session of Congress and approved by the president. Forthwith, "Old Doc." Wiley, as the newspaper men affectionately call him, rose in his wrath and pointed out a "joker" in the law, which, he claimed, would serve as an avenue of escape for the patent medicine fraudsmen. No doubt he was right; but the question naturally raises why did not the doctor discover this "joker" before the bill became a law? The doctor is at the head of a well equipped magazine bureau in Washington, and presumably it is "up to" him to examine bills relating to food and drugs and in every way safeguard the interests of the consumer. Either we must conclude that, like Homer, Dr. Wiley occasionally nods or that at the time the bill was before Congress the call of the Chataqua circuit was clarion. In his speech at Indianapolis attacking Taft and also Roosevelt the good doctor again nods. It so happened that one of the incidents touched upon by him is familiar to me, for the reason that Dr. Willey sought my help in the premises. I would not detract in the slightest degree from the unselfish, courageous battles which Dr. Willey fought often single-handed, against the food dopers and poisoners. But in his new found avocation as a political orator, Dr. Willey is notably unfair to the man who stood back of him in perhaps the bitterest fight of his official career at Washington. I refer to Mr. Roosevelt, who was president at the time, and I speak with authority, because of the fact that at Dr. Willey's urgent solicitation I helped him to carry his fight over Secretary Wilson's head to the president. If pure food is to be an issue in this campaign, the public is entitled to all of the facts. For many years Dr. Wiley, aided in splendid manner by the food and dairy commissioners of many of the states, urged food and drug legislation by the federal congress. On two occasions such an act was passed by the house, but the upper branch of congress—then known as "the senate of special interests"—throttled the bill. Indeed, for seventeen years the senate would not permit pure food to come to a vote. Such was the situation at the session of 1905-1906. On or about this time several magazine writers turned their attention to the subject of pure food and drugs. Everybody remembers the remarkable series in "Collier's" written by Samuel Hopkins Adams. I tried to do my part with an article published in the "World's Work." The cumulative effect of this editorial brodged brought results. In the early spring of 1906 the Senate passed the pure food bill. The fight was won—so the reformers said. But at that period of our political history there was a working agreement between the senate and house. As a sop to public opinion, a bill would be passed by one house without opposition, only to pigeonholed in the other branch of congress. Undoubtedly this was the program of the Aldrich-Cannon machine. If not, why did the bill slumber in the house for about four months—until the very last days of the session? Right here Dr. Wiley nods. He gives President Roosevelt no credit whatever for the achievement of pure food lexis. lation, saying that the then President's interest in the subject was confined to a "short paragraph without accentuation" in one of his messages. This published statement of Dr. Willey's is surprising, to say the least. Either the worthy doctor is growing forgetful or political speaking is making him ungenerous. After the passage of the food and drugs bill in the senate the friends of pure food packed their grips and went triumphantly home, believing the fight won—all except Dr. Willey, who was stationed in Washington, and Robert M. Allen, of Frankfort, Ky., who was at that time secretary of the State Food and Dairy Commissioners national organization If anyone worked harder or more efficiently for a federal food and drugs law than Bob Allen, I did not happen to meet up with him in Washington. Allen knows—if Dr. Wiley fogets—what part Mr. Roosevelt played in the pure food fight at this, its most critical stage. And I happened to know, because at the behest of Allen and Wiley I was keeping tabs on the president. In my presence Mr. Roosevelt wrote and dispatched a number of notes to Speaker Cannon—all relating to the pure food bill. These communications ran the gamut from indorsement of the bill to an "unconstitutional" demand for its passage in the house. At this time President Roosevelt was making his fight for federal meat inspection, and the two closely-related legislative projects were linked together by Mr. Roosevelt. He did not say, "give me one of the two bills." He demanded both—and he got them. Those familiar with the "inside play" in the pure food fight must admit, if fairminded, that there would have been no food and drug law enacted in the long session of 1905-1806 except for the persistent efforts of President Roosevelt. And if the bill had failed at that crucial time its subsequent success is merely a matter for idle conjecture. So much for getting the law; now for its enforcement. Although Dr. Wiley does not mention his ancient enemy by name in his political review, he will not controvert the statement that at one time he uttered more harsh words about the National Wholesale Liquor Dealers' Association than about any other set of men who crossed his official path—and with reason. This association (they make and sell over 90 per cent of the whiskey sold in this country), publicly boasted, on two occasions, that they had defeated the pure food bill in congress. Certainly no other special interest gave us so much trouble in the contest for pure food legislation and afterward. Selfish greedy and arrogant. The National Wholesale Liquor Dealers' Association was the first to demand consideration and special privilege when the pure food law was on the statute books. The act contained a clause defining "blend." It was a general clause relating as much to coffee and tea as to whiskey, and mark this fact—if the loose construction asked by the fake whiskey people were adopted, then a dealer could mix tea and willow leaves and call it "blended tea," or coffee and chicory and call it "blended coffee." No wonder Dr. Wiley was indignant. Oms might say that he was warm under the official collar. You see his chief, Secretay Wilson, has backed down and surrendered to the fake whiskey interests. Certainly Dr. Wiley was hard pressed. He came to me at this time and asked if I were in a position to go to the president with the matter—to President Roosevelt. He said that honest and efficient administration of the food and drugs act was involved. He said that he would be humiliated and forced to resign if beaten by the National Wholesale Dealers' Association, and much more to the same effect. No one sincerely interested in the cause of pure food could have turned a deaf ear to Dr. Wiley's plea. So it was that I went to Secretary Loeb and explained the matter, and Bill Loeb, able citizen, got busy. In a short time we had President Roosevelt more than interested. He sent for Dr. Wiley, who came laden with a basket of bottles. In the President's office the doctor gave a demonstration of true blended whiskey on the one hand and of ethyl alcohol plus prune juice—in the discard. Mr. Rosoevelt took his cue from Dr. Wiley and the fight was on. (Continued on Page Three MI'HI GET BUSY HERE! NEVER MIND THE PASSER BY! CONSTRUCTIVE STATESMANSHIP BUILDING BRYAN THE COLONEL Hatfield in Ritchie Co. REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOR GOV. ERNOR IS GREETED BY HUNDREDS OF FARMERS Of the State is Being Made by the Next Governor, Who Exposes Attempt of the Democrats to Disfranchise Republican Voters of Both Colors. Cairo, W. Va., Oct. 9. From every noon and corner of Ritchie county today came hundreds of people to welcome and hear the candidates and representatives of the Republican party and the two meetings held in the county were unsurpassed in enthusiasm. Over other meetings held by Dr. aHfield on this triumphal tour of the state. It was a gala day in Ritchie county and the people turned out in surprising numbers, both at Harrisville, the county seat, this afternoon and tonight at Cairo, to hear the tidings of Republicanism and attest their loyalty to the nominees of the party in the state. Especially so at Harrisville was the day celebrated in a manner appropriate for a fourth of July celebration, and the occasion was made all the more realistic by the elaborate decoration in honor of the Republican host. From the time Dr. Hatfield entered the county at Peunsboro, this morning, until he wound up his days tour at Cairo, late tonight, he was hailed as a popular hero, and nowhere on the tour of the state has the strength and popularity of the Republican gubernatorial candidate been more favorably and forcibly impressed and the other candidates on the state and congressional tickets shared honors with their leaders. This delegation from Harrisville met Dr. Haffield and his party at Pennsboro this morning, and accompanied by the Pennsboro band came to Harrisville on a special train. A large crowd was at the local depot and gave the candidate an ovation on their arrival here. They were escorted to the court house square where a large platform had been erected and from which the speakers hurled their bitter invectives against the common enemy, the Democraey. Dr. Talbert presided at the meeting this afternoon. Besides Dr. Haffield and Mr. Lilly who had been speaking together since the opening of the state campaign, there were several other orators on the program today, including Judge Hunter Moss, of Parkersburg, nominee for Congress, and Joseph F. Gray, nominee for state senator in this district. While the sun beamed down on the various speakers they reached the highest flights of oratory and eloquence and heaped on the representatives of the Democratic party charges of misrepresentation and betrayal of the confidence of the people placed in them two years ago, when they turned the reins of government over to them. Dr. Haffield who had been attacked in an address delivered here yesterday by D. E. French of Mercer county; a Democratic state senator replied to the undargounded charges made by French, who is a representative of the Watson-Chilton combination. DR. Hatfield exposed the attempt made by French in the last legislature to procure the enactment of a law that would have, disfranchised sixty thousand voters of the state and taken from the masses and placed in the hands of the classes, the absolute dictation of all selection for public office. He charged that French was one of the Democratic senators who plotted to secure control of the state senate at the last legislature by any means required and that he was one who knew of the conspiracy with thugs furnished by the Watson aggregation who intended to kidnap one of the faction Republican senators in order to get a majority in that body. In substantiating that charge he declared it could be established that Pat Crow, the kidnapper was brought to Charleston to assist in carrying out this plot. Dr. Hatfield attacked the record of Senator W. C. Peterkin of Parkersburg, Democrat, elected from this district two years ago and charged that Peterkin had failed to carry out a single promise he had made. Especially was this shown on Peterkin's position in connection with the investigation of the election of the "Gold Dust Twins." After Peterkin had given moral obligation he would see that an investigation was started, if postponement of the resolution calling for immediate investigation for a few days in order to allow the Democrats to submit an amendment, Hatfield declared that Peterkin ignored his promise not only to the senate but the whole people of the state, and was responsible to a great extent for hushing an investigation of the wholesale debauchery of the legislature. Dr. Hattfield and Mr. Lilly appeal for the election of the congressional and legislative ticket, to preserve the prosperity of the nation and state. Tonight's meeting at Cairo exceeded in the attendance in the afternoon meeting. General Romeo H. Freer, a man who has done valiant service in the battles of the Republican party for the past forty years, was in attendance at the rally in his home town this afternoon. Although very feeble in health, he is still a fighter and if his health improves will be on the stump before election day arrives. He was greatly impressed with the rally this afternoon and declared it was one of the most auspicious in the history of Ritchie county. Doddridge county Republicans will open up their campaign at West Union tomorrow, when Dr. Hatfield, Mr. Lilly and other candidates will speak there. --- Isaiah Isaacs was called to Cabin Creek Monday because of the illness of his father, Wm.

Edwards is A Candidate MAKES ANNOUNCEMENT OF HIS DESIRE TO REPRESENT STATE IN SENATE Principles Declared Progressives Are Regular Republicans in That They Starid for the Policies Enunciated by the Founders of the Republic, he Says. In making the announcement of his candidacy for the United States Senate before the immense audience at the Burrell opera house, Wednesday night, Colonel William Seymour Edwards said: "In times like these, the welfare of the many is recognized as paramount. Individualism in terms of bossism must go. The people, not the bosses, are to rule. In this brief sentence is summed up the issues of this campaign. "Men are asking are we, the people, to find in our government the expression of our sovereign wills," or are we to subserviently lick the boot that kicks us! We know how it has been in Kanawha county, when ballots were burned and primary and state elections set up, until manhood surrogacy became a jest. And it has been the same in other counties of this state. "Nor are these crimes against the people altogether banished in West Virginia. But, at any rate, political crimes of this henious sort are growing less. Each year they are more difficult to commit. Men's consciences are beginning to wake up. And, right here, let me declare that no influence in American politics has done more, is now today doing more, to arouse the conscience of the American people against the continued commission of like political crimes, than the straight-forward, courageous leadership of Theodore Roosevelt. "Nor will the people of West Virginia longer tolerate the slick manipulation of the state-wide political interests by unscrupulous state and county committees, who have heretofore attempted to set at naught the people's will by means of set-up state and county conventions; to cure these grave ills we have declared for and demand state and county primary elections, honestly conducted under just and efficient laws. We are for that remedy if it can be obtained. And consequently, although as yet imperfect in the working, we nevertheless stand by the primary election of June 4th, 1912, and the state and county tickets we then helped to nominate. "I speak plainly, and I speak of things at home, for I wish to be clearly understood that this is not a season of personal ambitions-to-be gratified. "It is not a time when you or I can ask, or ought to ask, or dare to ask, for honors or rewards, however merited. "These are times when, one and all, we must subordinate desires and ambitions to the welfare of the people must take upon ourselves whatsoever burdens the people shall choose to lay upon us. It is in this spirit that we approach the great campaign that is now here. "I will not seek the senatorship, whatsoever of glory it may bring to me. No! I will not accept it only for what service I may be able to render to you, to you, to you, the people of this great state!" "I will not take upon myself the burden of this campaign for what distinction it may bring to me. No! I will stake up the burden along with you, and you, and you, in order that we may join hands and stand on the fighting line together and win together and win together, or perish together, if the forces of selfishness, of greed, of money-plunderers shall be too strong for the moment, for the moment, mark you, and temporarily set us back. For in the end we are bound to triumph. "Nor will we permit, if we can help it, that the United States senatorships shall be any longer put up at auction to the highest bidder. Nor Colorado mines, nor abundance of bank securities, nor railroad bonds and watered stocks, shall determine the fitness of your candidate for the senatorship of the United States!" "No more orgies of prostituted gold Like two years ago, when the welkin rang with the roar of the gilded chariots of our modern Attiliae, as they Notable Night Messages Offered to the Public by Richard Washburn Child Telegrams, Which, Please Note, if Sent by the Brave and Free, Might Have Changed history—Unwritten by Tatt, McAdoo, Wilson, Bryan, Underwood, Archbold, Hedges and Hilles. Richard Washburn Child, lawyer, novelist, reformer and "muckraker," was writing vivid and artistic stories for the leading magazines before he had finished his law course at Harvard. Before he had been in print two years, he was recognized as one of our best short story writers—a rank whie was given substantial recognition when he twice received a $1,000 short story prize from Collier's. The actual conditions which he encountered in his law practice led him toward reform; and in the past two or three years he has given up Arcady to do his part in the greater work of national journalism. Notable among his contribution were his attack on the Wool Trust and Schedule K in Everybody's Magazine and his articles on the Lawrence strike in Collier's. NOTABLE NIGHT MESSAGES. By Richard Washburn Child "The sadest words of tongue or pen Are the words that were not wired then." To William Barnes, Republican Convention Hall, Chicago:— Do not nominate me if the votes of stolen delegates are necessary. Regard this as a moral and not a political question. Remember that the rank and file of our party in direct primary states were nearly two to one against me. They probably feel that we are too reactionary. My desire to serve the people again is insignificant in comparison to upholding in our party the standards of common honesty. Show this message to Root and say that whoever may be the nominee, the old Republican party must go before the people with clean hands." To Woodrow Wilson; As a man familiar with large business I know full well the foolishness of fighting to break up the trusts by lawsuits. Taft tried this and it was a farce comedy. Standard Oil, American Tobacco and the rest of them love it and grow rich on it. My elevator boy knows all this. We cannot fool the people. The day to restore competition with a trust is to prevent the trust from using unfair means to keep a grip on its monopoly. Government regulation is what I have advocated. The great body of laboring men and capitalists know I am right. Call off Brandeis on this subject. He has a bad habit of misrepresenting his opponents. This may result in injury to you. William McAdoo. To Charles Muphy, of New York, and John F. Fitzgerald, of Massachusetts: I did not seek your support in obtaining my nomination for president, and I do not solicit it in this campaign. Let this be your notice that I am aware of the character of the political machines which you control and which represent financial interests with sinister purposes. I intend to rid the New York and Massachusetts democracy of your dominance, and the democratic party of bosses. I believe the voters of the country will approve my course. Woodrow Wilson To Champ Clark: I assume that I was partly instrumental in procuring the nomination of Woodrow Wilson and in blocking your nomination. I thought at the time that Wilson was an ideal progressive. I find, however, that in spite of good intentions, he is out of sympathy with the people. He was born an aristocrat and has spent his days in an exclusive university atmosphere. This accounts for his unfortunate remarks against the honored name of Thomas Jefferson, against foreign-born laborers, in favor of freer Chinese immigration, against a minimum wage for women to protect motherhood, etc. I fear he fails to grasp the true significance of true progress. Possibly I have made a grave mistake. Forgive me and regard this as strictly confidential until the campaign is over. To John Smith, Laborer:— In answer to your inquiry about the democratic tariff plank, let me be honest and frank. It is probably true that the tariff revision proposed would cause a violent disturbance in the bus- ness, wor' no greatest suffering, as always, & borne by the wage payers. statement in our platform that riff for protection was unconstitutional was a new one on me. I wonder you are puzzled about you ask what "tariff for revenue only" means. No one can answer because it all depends upon how much revenue we desire to resist. A tariff for revenue only" means as much as the question: How large is a piece of ice," or "How old have you ever seen a young big." The truth of the matter is that all this is pure buncombe. I ought to know. But don't quote me. To Senator Penrose:— Your plans to discredit Roosevelt by talking about campaign contributions will fail unless to assist you in giving testimony you obtain one hold in high esteem. How about Charles W. Morse or Abe Hummel? John D. Archbold. To Chairman, New York Republican State Convention;— I am supposed to be an entertainer and have a fine sense of humor at banquets, barbecues, etc. My running against Oscar Straus for governor of New York strikes me as being immittably funny. I trust everybody will take the joke. Job Hedges. President Taft has instructed me to inform you that under no circumstances will he allow those who campaign in his behalf to indulge in false accusations concerning your personal morals, temperance, probity. He has to say that he has telegraphed today to J. Adam Bede and John Marshall Harlan, the short-weighted son of the late lamented and honored Justice of the supreme court, to cease their campaign of abuse on the stump. Further than this he desires at this late date, but in some fitting manner, to acknowledge that your statement in regard to accepting another term was made by you only when it was necessary on that occasion; I ensure My Taft's nomination in 1908. The president believes that he has been ill-advised during the administration by Crans, Guggenheim, Aldrich, Cannon and Barnes, and that there can be no hope of his success unless he takes reins in his hands and acts according to his own natural, honorable inclinations. Charles P. Hilles, Campaign Manager Garrett in Jail Wichita, Kan., Oct. 8—R. Lee Garrett, newspaper man, undertaker and colored financier, later of Charleston, W. Va., now at the city jail, has met with reverses in his business adventures in Wichita. He is being held at the city jail on charges made to the county attorney that he uttered bad checks. Mr. Garrett came to Wichita in the summer, set up an undertaking, establishment on North Main street opposite the court house, and later purchased the Wichita Searchlight a weekly paper published for colored citizens. He made a payment on the Searchlight and moved it, type, press subscription list and all to his undertaking establishment. Mrs. W. N. Miller, widow of the founder of the paper, sold it to the undertaker. N. B. Copeland, a relative of Mrs. Miller, worked for Garrett. He drew pay by check and is now carrying a check across the face of which is written "no funds." Mr. Copeland says that he is not the only person carrying similar cheques. The Kansas National Bank has had some financial experiences with Mr. Garrett that officers of the institution desire to get strengthened out. The offense which got him in the toils was collecting on a check on an East St. Louis bank made payable to himself and signed by a fictitious person. When the check marked "no funds" was returned to the bank here which had cashed it, a warrant was issued for Garrett's arrest.

It is doubtful if ever more pressure was brought to bear in an official controversy than in the whiskey fight—certainly never in my experience as a Washington reporter. Arrayed on the side of the fake whiskey interest we two members of the President's cabinet, Taft and Wilson; Mr. Roosevelt close and personal friend, Senator Lodge; Speaker Cannon and a score more of prominent men. On the side of Dr. Wiley were Attorney-General Bonaparte and Secretary Loeb. In the face of all of the pressure of close advisers and personal friends, President Roosevelt gave the verdict in Dr. Wiley's favor. Was it not unacundid of the good doctor to admit all reference to this service? In his political speech at Indianapolis, he declared that President Taft "stood from his high office to do a favor to the worst" lot of adulterers in Christendom"—in other words, that Mr. Taft reversed the whiskey, ruling of his predecessors. But, according to the reports of his speech printed in the Philadelphia papers, Dr. Wiley ignores President Roosevelt's services to the cause of pure food, and his assistance to the doctor himself. Why? The writer yields to no one in his admiration for the public service which Dr. Wiley has done (perfect tense). But even the doctor's friends know him to be this sort of man—that every fight with him is more important than the preceding fight, that's what makes him such a splendid fighter. But this very quality warps his judgment of men—particularly when the doctor nods. He wom the whiskey fight, but afterwards lost his fight against benzoate of soda—and having lost, he will never forgive Theodore Roosevelt, who appointed the Remsen board. In his political recital of this controversy Dr. Wiley is ingenious—If I may judge from the report the doctor made to me immediately after the meeting in President Roosevelt's office, attendant by Secretary Wilson, Congressman Sherman, two catup manufactures and Dr. Wiley's arch enemies, McClause and Dunlap. The President asked Dr. Wiley if the use of benzote of soda in food was injurious to health, and when the chief of the bureau of chemistry replied In the affirmative, Mr Roosevelt turning to the self-seeking manufacturers and shrieking the table a ringing blow with his fist, exclaimed "Gentleman, if this drug is injurious, you shall not put it in food." Here Dr. Wiley's report made to me at the time and his very recent political speech part company. As he recounted the incident "in the shadow Phone 2251 Charleston, W. Va. The Old "Saunders Place" THE TRUSTS NOT FOR SALE REPUBLICAN PARTY DEMOCRATIC PARTY of the crime," he said that after the secretary of agriculture and his three associates left the executive offices and got into the official carriage, Secretary Wilson opined that the way to settle the matter—the matter already settled—was to refer it to a commission of exports. In that hour Dr. Wiley put the blame for a commission entirely on the shoulders of Secretary Wilson. It was the secretary who made the suggestion to the president, and Mr. Roosevelt—here I speak from personal knowledge thinking in this way to quiet the howling of certain food manufacturers, reluctantly agreed to the proposal. I know for a fact that he expected the commission to sustain Dr. Willey. I know he was disappointed in the decision. The trouble was that the details were left to Secretary Wilson, a politician first, last and all the time. I hold no brief for the Remsen board, which decided the benzocate of soda question against Dr. Willey. I do know, however, that President Roosevelt endeavored to obtain a board composed of acknowledged scientific experts; that he wrote to the leading college presidents of the country and from their recommendations determined the personnel of the board, and that from these scientists, of all men, he looked for a fair, impartial verdict. Dr. Wiley is now electioneering in behalf of the Democratic ticket. The doctor knows that the house of representatives as in control of the democratic party. The doctor also knows, --- Morris in Spokane Spokesman-Review. the three and the military little battled ex- the was motion by this time, that at the lost session of congress, when the agricultural and propriation bill was considered in the house, a motion was made, the effect of which was to strike out the appropriation for the Remsen board. Does the good doctor forget that the democrats saved the obnoxious board for "future usefulness"—or "to prey upon the people"? Even Homer nods.

PONDER THIS No man can be for the preservation and improvement of the present superb system of taxation which the Republican party introduced in West Virginia and be for the candidates that Watson and Chilton have nominated in the name of the Democratic party. Just think that over for a while. Just remember that there never was an audit of a county office under Democratic administration. It was never done until the Republican party got control. CHARLESTON'S BIG GROCERY MODERN Dead Issues and Bosses RULE ROTH DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS, SAYS COLONEL ROOSEVELT Human Welfare Is the Program of the Progresives Who Would Use the Machinery, of the Government to Secure the Birthright of the Whole People. Detroit, Mich., Oct. 11—"There are three tickets in the field, but only two sides to the present campaign," said Colonel Roosevelt here today. He opened his tour of the Middle West by speaking in the Armory here. "You needn't take my word," said Colonel Roosevelt, "for the statement that the Republican and Democratic parties occupy substantially the same ground. I quote you from the solum public utterances of the head of one of the parties. Governor Wilson, in a message to the Legislature of New Jersey on January 9 said he was interested and encouraged to see that the platforms of the Republican and Democratic parties were substantially the same in recent years." Mr. Wilson's supporters, Colonel Roosevelt said, took issue, with him when he said that the Republican and Democratic parties took substantially the same position and that he would refer them to Governor Wilson. "I'm interested," Colonial Roosevelt said, "in the statements of Mr. Bryan and other Democratic leaders that Mr. Taft has grown in strength. What the leaders of both the old parties desire is to beat the Progressives and they are willing to coalesce to accomplish this purpose. "There are three tickets this year, but only two sides. If you believe in special privilege, dead issues and the boss, vote for the old parties. If you believe in faclag the new issues, that economic injustices must be wiped out, then vote the Progressive ticket. Roosevelt went to Flint and Saginaw from here. "Human Welfare" Program. Saginaw, Mich., Oct. 11-Colonel Roosevelt reached here tonight and spoke to several thousand people in the Auditorium. He made a defense of the Progressive party's "human welfare" program. He criticised Governor Wilson's position, and declared for a governmental inquiry into the conditions of modern industry. "There are many different kinds of steps necessary for the people to take, said Col. Roosevelt. "in order to secure genuine social and industrial justice. But it is absolutely necessary that there shall be governmental action both in the nation and in the several states, not only in order to get rid of unhealthy industrial conditions, but also to build up our working capacity as a nation. To act effectively through the Government—and it is only the power of the government which offers a sufficiently efficient instrument with which to do much of the task—we must firmly grasp the fact that the national welfare is a national concern. We are interested in the people's rights, and not in state rights as such or nation's rights as such. We are contending for the birthright of the whole people, and sooner or later the people will insist that no old cleavages of interest nor worn-out inhibitions of tradition shall cramp and hamper and defraud them as they struggle for their birthright. "We of the Progressive party pledge the resources of the Government to lift the load of illiteracy from the young men and girls of the nation. We cannot afford to have the capaci- ty of our future citizens stunted. Education must not stop merely at the school door; the adult worker must gird himself as he goes along for a larger and more efficient share in the working life of the nation, and vocational training must receive development." Record of Social Uplift and Economics [From the October Crisis.] An invention which promises to revise the signal system on various railroads of the land has just been patented by Percy Clay and George Washington, two colored men of New Orleans. Among the guards on John D. Rockefeller's estate are, eighteen armed, colored men. A permit has been issued in Jacksonville, Fla., for the erection of a five-story masonic building at the corner of Broad and Duval streets. The building will cost $10,000 and will contain a bank, business offices and lodge rooms. In Providence, R. I., 600 colored women, sold tags throughout the lay in order to pay an indebtedness of $10,000 on the Watchman industrial School. There was a station in each of the department stores and the young women also worked on the streets. Plans for a $100,000 Y. M. C. A. to be erected in Atlanta, Ga. are well on the way! There will be reception rooms, lecture rooms, kitchen and dining rooms, baths and swimming pool; two floors will be used for dormitories; separate boys' departments will be maintained. The building will be seven stories high. Strenuous effort is being made in St. Louis by both colored and white people to lessen the friction between the races due to the expanding Negro population and the demand for better houses. The committees for social service among colored people, organized in 1910, devotes itself entirely to social and industrial problems affecting colored people, the special object being to remove discrimination on account of color in the work of public and private agencies for social betterment. The committee is in no way a touching to offer a will for the "care problem," other than by securing for colored people the same forces for relief, employment, medical care, recreation, education etc. as exist for the rest of the community. During the last year it's committee has been instructing thirty-nine people in methods of social service, has secured admission of colored organization to the new delegate body, the Central Council of Social Agencies, has arranged a general conference to discuss the social problems of colored people. State provision for the care of deliquent colored girls has been advocated and a start made. A joint committee composed of both white and Negro members from the social-service conference and the committee for social service among Negroes has been formed to study the question of housing Negroes in St. Louis. The first step will be the construction of a map showing the location of the Negro population and the movement of population in the last ten years. An inquiry will be instituted into housing conditions, including a comparison of rents and locations. At the same time the committee will make a country-wide investigation of segregation and friction between the races, particularly in the border-line cities, including Washington, Baltimore, Louisville, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, New York, Chicago and Kansas City. This will form the basis for a statement of the facts for and against segregation, which will be published by the committee. The committee will act as a board of arbitration in specific cases of friction and attempt to prevent fraud and misuse of Negroes and whites in real-estate transactions. A modern hospital for colored people is being planned in Knoxville, Tenn.

FIRST PRINCIPLES DRIEST DRIEST —Carter in Philadelphia Times FIRST PRINCIPLES BIGGER PRIVILEGES ROBERT CABYER the census reports that in 1910 there were in continental United States, as a whole, 9,827,763 Negroes, of whom 2,050,086, or 20.9 per cent., were reported as mulattoes. In 1890 there were 1,132,060 mulattoes reported, or 1,572,060 cent. of all the Negroes, and in 1870 a total of 584,049, or 12 per cent. Thus the figures taken at their face value show that about one-fifth of all the Negroes in 1910 had some admixture of white blood, as against about one-eighth in 1870. This report is, of course, far below the truth. There is little doubt but that one-third of the colored people of the United States have white blood. Economics. One of the oldest amusement places in Los Angeles, Cal.—Luna Park—is about to be purchased by colored people. The total investment will be about 270,000 if arrangement are completed. The three counties with the largest amount of land owned by Negroes are said to be Macon County, Ala., with 51,688 acres; Liberty County, Ga., with 55,048 acres; and Louisa County, Ky., with 53,268 acres. The Alabama Petty Savings Bank, a colored institution, celebrates its twenty-second anniversary, by the occupation of a new building. This modern fireproof building is being erected on 18th street, between Third and Fourth avenues. Birmingham. Colored laborers are being employed entirely. The Birmingham Age-Herald, in a report concerning the colored people of Memphis, says that there are ```markdown ``` 500 families there owning hands valued at $5,000 and upward. One widow owns an estate of $300,000 and a colored letter carrier is worth $150,000. The collection Savings Bank has over $100,000 in deposits and there are sixy colored letter carriers in the postoffice. The report to Congress on taxation in the District of Columbia shows how the burden of taxation falls upon the colored people and poor whites, while the rich people escape. The laborer's house is taxed at 90 per cent. of its value while the houses of millionaire are taxed at about 50 per cent. Hannibal Mo. is the seat of the largest colored insurance society west of the Mississippi. It is known as the Home Protective Association and has a membership of over 20,000. A factional fight has broken out between the colored and white branches of the longshoremen's union in Galveston, Tex. The locals, it seems, demanded that equal numbers of white and Negroes be employed in the cotton "jamming." It seems that only Negroes were employed and the whites are in bad temper. One feature of Labor Day this year has been the growth of its observance as a Negro holiday by workmen in the South. In Nashville, for instance, there were large crowds in colored parks and parades of colored unions. Colored playhouses had special bills.

Mr. Taft's defeat being certain, Just as sure as death and taxes, why vot for him? Tt will simply be voting indirectly for Goy. Wilson. To-de so on the grounds of party legularity, is to confess one’s self- wedded to dead issues and reaetion- ary policies, one to whom the idea of pepular rule is abhorrent and who does not believs Thou Shalt Not steal!” The opposition press, the latest dai ein Wich is, tac? AMsDowell Thies, attemipes tema ae ters by saying that a vote for Col. Roosevelt is a vote for Jim Crow vars. disfranchisem ut and racial oppression. because the Progressive party refused te allow Negroes to controk its affairs in the Southern States.” Allowing this to be true just for the sake of argument, would not a vote for Mr. Taft. who cam not bereleeted. also-be-a vote for Jim Crow cars, disfranchise- ment and racial oppression, in that if would be east indirectly fer Gov. Wilson ? But a vote for the Progressive ticket is not_an endorsement of the evils to whizh these gentlemen al- Ind. and they know it is not. True, the Progiessive platferm does not make any empty protest against these, as does the Republican plat- form according to aged custom, but the leading candidate of the P.ro- gressive party stands alone in of- Foving a logical sclution of the vex- ations problem of the races which the Republicans and Democrats alike have helped to complicate.

About thye weeks ago its editor expressed his faith in Col. Roosevelt and the Progressive party and stated that his publication would support both, if « little money was forthcoming. Now, money is as scarce ag hen teeth around — Progressive fhead- quarters ; consequently, “there was nothing doing what he. es ghink- ing about.”” a8 The Register, ‘then Pedgrgssive, suspended publication.r-few weeks: It resumes, announcing jtself for Taft.

Marshall as the new colored member of the Board of Education while a total surprise to most people, gives eminent satisfaction to the rank and file of the citizens of the District of Columbia. He was the unanimous choice of the six Justices of the District Supreme Court, to which body the duty of electing the Board is delegated, and his associates freely express themselves as delighted to have the benefit of his wise counsel in the solution of the thousand and one delicate problems that confront them from time to time. Dr. Marshall is splendidly equipped for the work he has accepted at the hands of his fellow citizens. He has long been identified with the highest educational interests of the community and knows to a nicely the needs of the people at large and of his own race in particular. Of broad sympathies and ripe experience, he is acceptable alike to the masses and the classes, and is strong enough in mental poise and independence to be his own man on every proposition that is likely to confront him. He belongs to no clique and is the creature of no faction. He will be controlled by no influence save that of the honest and maturely-formed convictions of Charles H. Marshall. This is the opinion expressed of him by all who know him, and this policy will make his administration of the people's trust a brilliant success. Dr. Marshall is a graduate of the medical department of Howard University and has practiced in the District for twenty years. He is president of the Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical Alumni Association of Howard University; a member of the Board of Censors of the Medico-Chirurgical Society of the District of Columbia; member of the executive board of the National Medical Association; member of the consulting staff of Freedmen's Hospital and assistant in clinical gynecology in Howard Medical School; deacon of the 19th Street Baptist Church and chief of the staff of the free dispensary maintained by that church; member of the International Tuberculosis Congress held in this city in 1908; and was an alternate delegate elected by the citizens of the District to represent them at the republican national convention at Chicago last June. By thrift and industry the business acumen, Dr. Marshall has acquired considerable property in the District and may be reckoned as one of our "solid men." He is the first resident of Georgetown to be named on the Board of Education, and this growing section is proud of the honor that has come to it. Dr. Marshall is modest and unassuming, and will indulge in no "grand stand play" as a member of the Board. He knows how to work, and his usefulness to his constituents will be told in deeds and concrete results. rather than in glittering promises o showing pretentions. STUDY OF THE SOUTHERN NEGRO The new attitude which Southern college men are assuming toward the matter of race relationships is most encouraging. In the tolerant, broad-minded friendliness of the rising generation of college men lies the hope of the Negro race. Eighteen months ago the Young Men's Christian Associations in colleges of the South launched a movement for a definite study of the problem of the Negro by white college men. Our most sanguine hopes did not lead us to believe that we would be able to get more than two thousand Southern college men studying this question within the first year. In fact, so timid we were that at our student conference, where we gathered leaders from all of the colleges of the Southast, we planned to invite personally a group of more mature and broad-minded students to enter this study. We felt that if they became genuinely interested each man could go back to his college and start a similar study group. We had no hopes that we could secure more than fifteen or twenty men in this conference for this study. The Negro course was announced as one of the seven courses in the study of home and foreign missions, and what was our amazement when we found that more than one-third of the students in the conference enrolled in the class of Negro study. These men going back into various colleges so encouraged a problem that during the term of 1910-11 we were able to enroll some four thousand college men in small groups in the study of this question. During the present college year of 1911-12 we have already enrolled six thousand men. Thus it will be seen that in the last eighteen months ten thousand Southern white college men have been giving some genuine study to the big problems that connect themselves with race relationship in the South. DR. BARNETT MARRIES Dr. C. C. Barnett, one of Huntington's most important colored citizens was married Wednesday night at Ironton, to Miss Clara Mathews, a nurse at the Barnett hospital on 8th avenue. The wedding came as a complete surprise, no indications having been made by either Dr. Barnett or his bride prior to the marriage that such a thing was contemplated. Dr. Barnett is a leading figure among members of his race in this city. He has practiced medicine here for many years, and has an established reputation for efficiency. A short time ago he founded the Barnett hospital for colored persons. His bride is a native of Farmville, Virginia, and a graduate of Lincoln hospital in New York City. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Mr. Irving, pastor of the M. E. Church at Ironton. THE NEWS IN A NUTSHELL. The banquet season will come on as soon as the campaign leaves the centre of the stage. "Bob" Pelham, the witty president of the Mu-So-Lit Club says there will be peace on the Board of Education now that it has a "Marshall." Certain voteless citizens of the District of Columbia make up in noise what they lack in the way of suffrage. The honorary roll of the Mu-So-Lit Club embraces Judge M. W. Gibbs, Little Rock, Ark.; W. T. Vernon, Jackson Miss.; W. A. Joiner, Wilberforce University, Ohio; J. Gerald Tyler, St Louis, Mo.; Charles H. Fearing, Tuskegee Institute, Ala.; Albertus Brown Toledo, Ohio, and J. Rosamond Johnson, New York City In the estimate of its needs for the coming year, the Board of Charities of the District of Columbia has asked for an appropriation of $5,000 for an industrial home for Negro children at Blue Plains, where a thriving industrial school for colored children has been established for a number of years. On the Board of Charities is one colder member, Professor George William Cook, the secretary of Howard University. The annual session of the General Baptist Association of the District of Columbia will be held at the Nineteenth street Baptist church on November 6, 7, 8, and 10. The Woman's Auxiliary will meet at the same time. The Association is composed of 38 Baptist churches in and around Washington, and is the medium through which these churches carry on their home and foreign mission work ministerial education and temperate reforms. Rev. M. W. D. Norrigan is president of the Woman's Auxiliary. W. H. C.

The executive committee of the MuSo-Lit Club was handsomely entertained last Friday, evening by Mr. M. Graut Lucas at his cosy home, 2215 Fourth stret, northwest. Mr. G. Luther Sadgwar, chairman of the committee, conducted the ceremonies. A delightful luncheon was served by Mrs. Lucas. Mrs. Lucas, by the way, is studying medicine at Howard University and is in the last year of her course. The enrollment in the public schools has now overtopped the limit reached last year. The total in all white schools is 34,836 and the total in the colored schools is 15,306. There is, however, a decrease in the attendance of the colored children, of 233, and an increase in the white attendance of 224. In the night schools, which opened Monday the white enrollment stood 1,100 and the colored total was 1,199. The formal inauguration of Dr. S.M. Newman as president of Howard University will take place some time next month. Elaborate preparations are being made for the occasion, and visitors from far and wide will be present. In response to an urgent call from the chairman of the state and local committees, Register J. C. Napier, has gone to Tennessee to assist in the reelection of President Taft and Governor Hooper. Mr. Napier is an effective campaigner and his personal popularity with the citizens of both races in his home state will go far to bring that liberal commonwealth into line with the "grand old party." Mr. Napier will be gone until after the election. Assistant Register Cyrus Field Adams is "sitting on the lid" at the treasury department here. The fifteenth anniversary of the founding of the First Baptist church of Georgetown is being celebrated in fine style at the church, corner of 27th street and Dumbarton Avenue. The services are covering a period of two weeks, and are being conducted by Rev. E. E. Ricks, the energetic pastor. The church was established in 1862 by the late Rev. Sandy Alexander, and in its early days was called "The Ark." When the improvements are completed the church of today will be one of the most substantial edifices in the city.
