The Broad Ax

Senator Cullom Would Not Permit His Children to Attend the Public Schools of Springfield with Colored Children. For many years the Negro has been led to believe that " he is only discriminated against in states under the control of the Democratic party," and that he enjoys, unhampered, every right in states controlled by the Republican party; on the surface this may seem to be true but it is as far from the truth as the sun is from the earth, for within the past few years have we not seen the late Governor John R. Tanner threaten to march to the borders of Illinois and with Gatling guns and flags flying blow to pieces every Negro who attempted to seek an honest day's work upon her soil? Has that incident so quickly passed out of our memories? Did we not behold Negroes shot down like jack rabbits, in the streets of Cartersville? Have we not observed Negroe children driven away from school houses not far from the grave of Abraham Lincoln, by Lily White Republicans, in violation of the laws of Illinois? Can the Negor become so blind to the truth—close his eyes and pass over these things lightly? If so, then he is incapable of drinking in those finer and more enobling sentiments which impels all honest men not to view the actions of the Lily White leaders of the Republican party through smoked glasses. Let us go one step further along these lines and look at the actions of the Lily White Republicans towards the Negro in the state of Oregon. The laws of that Republican state in reference to the Negro are as follows: Article 1. Section 35—"No free Negro or Mulatto, not residing in this state at the time of the adoption of this constitution shall ever come, reside or be within this state, or hold and real estate, or make any contract, or maintain any suit, therein, and the Legislative assembly shall provide by penal laws for the removal by public officers of all such free Negroes and Mulattoes, and for the effectual exclusion from the state, and for the punishment of persons who shall bring them into the state or employ or harbor them therein." represent this government at Glasgow, Scotland, expressed his highest approval of that atrocious act. In referring to that affiar, Mr. Taylor said: "We have no apologies to offer, and Urbana cares not what is said by other communities; we did what we thought was right, and in we have done anything we ought to be sorry for we are glad of it." It must be borne in mind that Mr. Taylor, who favors mob and lynch law, is a Lily White Republican, and he is still on the government pay roll. In the same states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and several other states which are and have been under Republican rule for a long time, colored people have been driven from their homes, mobbed and lynched, and shot down like wild animals within the past few years, and no great effort has been made by the Republican officials of the states referred to, to apprehend, nor to punish those who have been guilty of committing such crimes.. "Jim Crow" schools are being established in Philadelphia, Pa.; all these scenes and incidents should indicate to the thoughtful Negro which way the wind is blowing, and United States Senator Cullom, who is one of the leading Lily White Republicans of Illinois, who would not permit his children to attend the public schools of Springfield with colored children, should bestir himself, and endeavor to prevent the Lily White members of his party from assisting to heap contumely and injustice upon the Negro Since beginning this series of articles we have hastily traced the growth or the development of the Lily White spirit in the Republican party from 1890, down to the National convention held in this city in June, 1904, where the Lily White delegates from Louisiana were given a half vote in the convention, and former Governor Warmoth of that state became very warthy because he was forced to share honors in the convention with Negroes, and he contended that "if the Negroes are going to run the republican party of Louisiana we can't get the votes and we will never get through with trouble in Louisiana as long as political encouragement is given to the Negroes of the state." Governor Warmoth also let it be known that at the present time about 95 percent of all the federal offices in his state are held by the Lily Whites. Col. William Youngblood of Aalbama and William Vaughan, two of the leading Republicans of that state, as well as O. H. Chamberlin, the first Republican Governor of South Carolina, and the vast majority of the so-called Republicans throughout the South, believe that the Lily Whites should rule the Negro in all things, and that he should not be permitted to have a voice in the political affairs of this country. Therefore we must conclude with the following observations, that there are no politics in the South, that both races vote on the color line or the "Race Problem," that there is a strong sentiment in the Republican party to dump the Negro overboard into the deep political sea; that the most prominent leaders of the party in the past, and at the present time favor the Lily White movement; that ```markdown ``` MISS MARGARIE Queen of the "County Fair," and one "Smart Set" in C Thursday evening Miss Margarilee Curry, who was crowned queen of the country fair, which was held in connection with St. Mark's church, gave a reception in honor of Miss Grace Todd at the home of Mrs. P.

There is a certain doctor in the 47th block on Dearborn street, he is quite a flirt and a masher, and he thinks all the ladies are in love with him as he passes up and down State street smoking a cigarette as a cheap dude does. He's in love with a railroad man's wife. He keeps the passage warm from his office to the residence in the 48th block. Her husband's run is on the Santa Fe Railway, known as the death trap. When he is out the doctor has charge of his home. The doctor is married and has been for about a year. The doctor met the man's wife in the street; she was walking with a gentleman and the doctor spoke to her and told her to go home. She went home and he came in shortly afterwards and then he gave her a whipping. The neighbors became alarmed and rushed in and found the doctor whipping this lady. The doctor is noted for breaking up men and their wives. When he was in Pensacola, Florida, he broke up a man and his wife, took her money and diamonds and then he left the city. Mrs. L.

As painted by Mr. Roosevelt, the republican party almost discounts Providence. It is all-wise and all-beneficent. It is perfection, full-rounded, beautiful. According to Mr. Roosevelt, the time has come when those in charge of the government are omniscient and society's ills are at an end. The republican party is the answer to the sum total of mankind's efforts throughout the ages. It possesses exclusively all of the superlative excellencies hitherto known and a few newly invented ones. If it were as good as Mr. Roosevelt professes to think it is, there would be no further need of politics and we could even get along without the constitution. Mr. Roosevelt's letter of acceptance is in many respects an interesting document. Almost anybody can put questions to fit answers favorable to himself, which is a way of conducting the other fellow's case; and this is what Mr. Roosevelt has done. Having selected what he conceived to be the virtues of his administration, he frames an indictment on behalf of the people against these special virtues, thus giving the selected virtues an excellent opportunity to reply—and they reply for all they are worth. There can be no other issues save the enumerated ones involving these supposed virtues, Mr. Roosevelt contends. If these are not the issues, he says, there can be no issues. As usual, says the St. Louis Republic, Mr. Roosevelt overlooks the constitution. When he declares that he is unable to conceive what issues the democrats could possibly have, he forgets that they have had a Mr. Roosevelt in one of the three great constitutional divisions of government for the last three years and that the incumbent has wrought a great strain and damage upon the office. As a matter of fact, a president too big for the constitution is a very large, real, live and threatening issue and one sufficient to arouse most of the people in the country which suffers that condition. A lawmaking and lawbreaking executive is an anomaly calculated to impress the majority of Americans with the necessity for its removal—to awaken in them a fear for the safety of their institutions. Mr. Roosevelt is enough of an issue, were there no others. He represents anticonstitutionalism, the constitution subordinated to executive whim; and not all his enumeration of party virtues, real or pretended, can hide the fact of his dangerous personality. In electing a president, the people are bound to consider the man. The people choose between men. This campaign is peculiarly one in which character and temperament must be welled between the candidates. It is admitted on all sides that Judge Alton B. Parker is a safe man, of sound and conservative judgment, who, if elected, would not endanger the international and internal affairs of the country. His temperament and judicial training qualify him for the constitutional duty and responsibility. It is impossible not to contrast against these eminent qualifications the rash impulses, big militant ambitions and headlong proclivities of Mr. Roosevelt. In the very nature of things, the contrast is inevitable. The one man is amenable to the constitution, laws, principles and traditions of his coun- Roosevelt and Jefferson. In his "Naval War of 1812," volume 1, page 198, Theodore Roosevelt said that Thomas Jefferson "was perhaps the most incapable executive that ever filled the presidential chair." That would seem to be a most unjust criticism of the author of the Declaration of Independence, who acquired the Louisiana territory, who was twice president, founder of the University of Virginia and author of the bill establishing religious freedom in his native state. He may have been a weakling according to the idea 四 try. The other man is intolerant of all restraint. The issue is the constitution, or it is Mr. Roosevelt, as you please. If it were a campaign of mere attractions and Mr. Roosevelt were permitted to state them to suit himself, democracy might easily be robbed of all issues. But the question before the people is, among other things, the selection of a president. The requirements of office and the fitness of men are considerations. The requirements have reference to the constitution which created the office, and measured by them Mr. Roosevelt is seen to be wholly unfit. That Spencer Trask, head of the great New York banking house of Spencer Trask & Co., has decided to support Alton B. Parker for president, is one of the many announcements indicating a strong drift among business men toward the democratic candidate. Mr. Trask's reasons for deciding upon the course indicated are not less interesting than the fact itself. In explanation of his attitude, he says: "While President Roosevelt has been much more subdued and very quiet for the last two months, there is no telling when he will break out again, particularly if he should be elected for a full term of four years. In my opinion this is not the time to take chances. The personalities of the two candidates are before us, and we must judge them by the past. I do not think there can be any question that Judge Parker is a much safer man than President Roosevelt. Judge Parker has at all times shown a disposition to be calm and deliberative, to observe the law and the constitution, instead of his own personal desires. President Roosevelt's course, on the other hand, has always shown a tendency toward recklessness and a disregard of law." Mr. Trask was a Blaine republican in 1884, being a great personal admirer as well as political supporter of the "plumed knight." In 1888 and 1892, he supported Cleveland, and in 1896 and 1900, McKinley. He is an independent republican, but in common with hundreds of other business men he realizes and remembers that Roosevelt under restraint, during the campaign, and Roosevelt, elected to the presidency, are two very different men. In other words, Mr. Trask feels just like that Indiana man, with a little money invested, who said, the other day: "I wish I could be sure, when I go to bed at night, what Roosevelt will do in the morning." Large Denit in Revenues. The republicans belong to that class of people who take no thought for the morrow, hence the present condition of the national treasury does not trouble them very much. But the time is rapidly coming when the financial condition of the treasury must demand the attention of those in power. The New York Journal of Commerce, a financial journal with republican leanings, says it will be a fortunate thing for the democrats if they fall to elect their presidential ticket, because in such an event they will not be saddled with the responsibility of a large deficit in the treasury growing out of the laws and policy of the previous administration.—Houston (Tex.) Post. of Theodore Roosevelt, but who will live longest in the hearts of his countrymen? Jefferson is noted as a conservative statesman; how will Roosevelt be measured? Republican leaders are much worried about the continued "apathy" of their party. Senator McComas, of Maryland, says: "Something ought to be done to arouse the people." But it is because the people are aroused that there is such dense republican apathy.—Los Angeles (Cal.) Herald. A REAL CHANCE FOR ENTERPRISING CANVASSERS The demand for Professor W. E. B.

American Growth Proving the Sal- vation of the Tokay Article, | Says Recent Visitor. “American grape vines are proving the salvation of the Tokay grape,” ssid Julius Lando to Milwaukee Sentinel man. He hed just returped from Hun- gary, where the Tokay grape is grown. “In the early ‘90s & vine louse made its appearance in the Tokay fields,” he con- tinued, “and in an incredibly short time had devastated every vinéyard in the district. American shoots were experi- mented with and it was found that the louse refused to touch them, they being immune from its ravages. After these shoots had grown the first year, shoots of the Tokay plant were grafted on them, and these allowed to grow another year. The third spring they were cut down and wound about the root stem of the American plant, and allowed to shoot , year that an was made to garneraharvest.” A Tall Youth.

That is the great danger to the Rough Rider. The farmers have discovered that the trusts-are bleeding them and that the high price of wheat is more than offset by the increased cost of what they buy.

JUDGE PARKER'S TELEGRAM Facts Regarding Its Transmission to St. Louis Which Can Be Main- : tained by Proofs. ‘The Brooklyn Eagie is in a position to affirm and to maintain by proof ‘these facts: ‘That Alton Brooks Parker wrote the famous gold standard dispatch to Wit liam F. Sheehan, then in St. Louis, on Saturday morning, July 9, at it o'clock, and sent the same from the Esopus telegraph station. ‘That the dispatch was so written and so sent on Judge Parker's own initiative, without consultation or com. munication with ¢ single soal. ‘That the dispatch was not written and sent in pursuance of a pre-arrangement and that those who advocated and ad- vaniped his cause in St. Louis had ne foreknowledge of it. That Judge Parker reached his deter- mization to send the dispatch after he had been informed by the New York ‘papers of Saturday morning, and by that means alone, and had comprehen¢- ed in its entirety the situation as to the platform in St. Louis. That Judge Parker did not anticipate of foresee the final action of the com- mittes in its 16 hours session; that he @id pot have and could not have had knowledge of the events as they devel- oped om Friday and Friday night at St Louis, ‘until eight o'clock Saturday morning: that during the 30 hours pre- ceding the sending of the dispatch he bad no commynication whatsoever with any leader of the New York delegation. with any leader in the convention, o with any person of that convention o with any person in the east on any mat- ter which could be construed as po ——President Roosevelt is quoted as writing that President Jackson was flliterate, Must be true Made his mark at New Orleans.—N.

SARATOGA PLEASES WOMEN Famous New York Resort Gives Tem- porary Freedom to the | Fair Sex. | “The lady at Saratoga gets more out of her visit than does the gentleman who takes her there,” says Charles Trevathan, in Everybody's Magazine. “She may do with impunity in Sarato- ga those things which she may not ap- proach even in thought elsewhere, and it is perhaps because of this temporary freedom that she loves her Saratoga as she loves no other resort. It is the one environment through which she may move along if she like, the one acre of pleasure-making where the escort is not necessary to her pursuit of laughter. |3he may go through the drives alone in the forenoon, and she may stroll about the race course in the afternoon sione; she may dine alone and wine alone; she may sit out the concerts in the evening or watch the moonlight on the verandas alone, and there will scarce be comment upon her actions. She may, without fear, go alone anywhere and everywhere in the town that a man can go. And this is a privilege of which she does not avail herself. She merely gets s Reen sort of relish in the idea that she ‘could an she would.’ There is more fun to be had with ‘somebody along,’ and the lady of Saratoga is rarely a person alone.’” Tribute to Queen Victoria at Her + Death Was Sent by Much : Admired Singer. At the time of Queen Victoria’s fu- neral there was much comment in the newspapers about a mysterious wreath laid upon the coffin. [t was one of the Ginest there, but bore only the words. ‘O, Rest in the Lord!” No name was attached, and there was a great deal of speculation as to who had sent it. It has now been revealed that the wreath was placed there by Queen Alexandra on bebAlf of Miss Ada Crossley, the fa- mous Australian contralto. She was often.“commanded” to Windsor castle by Queen Victoria, who greatly admired ber singing. Once she happened to thoose her majesty’s favorite song, “O, Rest in the Lerd!” The queen wept bitterly and explained that she could sever hear that song without thinking of her dead husband, the prince consort, who also had loved it dearly. This was the reason why Miss Crossley sent the wreath. | Betematine es a Basinem. | Twelve years ago this summer the “raitimakers” were at the height of their renown in western Kansas.
