President Discusses Race Problem at Lincoln 'Dinner' — Righteousness Higher Than Peace — Wrongs React on Wrong-Doers — Lynching on the Wane — Approves the Position of Bishop Strange—Social intermingling of Races a Matter of Private Judgment, in Whi No Outsider Can Dictate—On the Whole a Satisfying Address. In New York, Feb. 13, as the guest of home at the Lincoln dinner of the Republican club in this City, President Roosevelt made a speech on the race problem. He appealed to the north to make its friendship to the south all the greater because of the embarrassment of conditions for which she is not alone responsible. declared that the heartiest acknowledgments are due to the ministers, law officers, grand juries, public men and "great daily newspapers in the south who have recently done such effective work in leading the crusade against leaching" and said that the problem was to "adjust the relations between the two races of different ethnic type that the backward race be trained so that it may enter into the possession of true freedom, while the forward race is enabled to preserve unarmed the high civilization wrought out by its forefathers." Following the president, Senator Doliver of Iowa responded to the toast, "Abraham Lincoln," Mr. George A. Knight of the公安 spoke on "The Republican Party," and James M. Beck, former assistant district attorney, general of the United States, on "The Unity of the Republic." The President Introduced. Sympathy With the South Most certainly all their rights and genesis men in the north appreciate the sympathetic with the warlike problem, reassessment of conditions for which she is not above responsible feel an honest with the people; help is possible and have the strength to deal with the problem and earn men of the south who in the face of fearful difficulties are being all white and for the better most alike of white and black. The attitude of the north toward the people better from what it should be, and the north should not be in good faith, should not be going to each what its purpose due to him, but to him on his behalf as well as not losing him in peace of agreement. But also and the result of labor. But the secular circumstances of the north remain problem there far greater and more Equality Before the Law. our effect should be to recruit to each of whatever his color, quality of opinion, or position he may be in. As a people striving to benefit in accordance with the great law of relationships we cannot afford to take his position, different to the opression in treatment of his disadvantages, pushing disadvantages, has by his own energy, self respect and perseverance, slightly higher to a position which would suit him better, if his fellows if only his skin were of a greyish impulse in us revolts at the night of thrashing loudness of holding up such a man. To deny any man the law for which he is grounded to others no better than he, it is to consult a wrong upon him—a wrong to act in the long run upon those guilty of such deeds. It is only safe, principally upon which Americans can not be that "will up men," but that of "some men down." If in any community the level of intelligence, morality and truth among the ordinary man can be raised, it is, in humanly speaking, sure that the same level among the white will be raised to an even higher degree; goal is to ensure that the detainment of the blacks will not be accompanied with it an institutional denomination of the white. The problem is to assemble the relations between two races of different ethnic type that the rights of neither be abridged nor violated. It is to ensure that the trainee so that it may enter into the prosecution of true freedom, while the forward race is enabled to preserve unharmed the information wrought out by its four fathers. In the first place, it is true of the colored man, as it is true of the white man, that in the long run his fate must depend on the efforts of any outside friend. Every vicious, venal or ignorant colored man is an even greater foe to his own race than to the community as a whole. The colored man is a more visible share in the political work of the country which is warranted by his individual ability and integrity and the position he has won for himself. But the prime requalite race is moral and industrial upbringing. The Neare's Duty to Himself. Laxiness and shiftlessness — these and above all, vice and criminality of every kind, — evils more potent for harm to the individual than the institution of white men put together. The colored man who fails to condemn crime in another colored man, who fails to co-operate with the police, who fails to criminalize to justice, is the worst enemy of his own people as well as an enemy to all the people. Law abiding black men most are reluctant to engage in the relentless and unceasing warfare against lawbreaking black men. If the standards of private morality and industry are raised high enough among the black men, then its future or this continent is secure. The heartiest actinowelgrants are due to the ministers, the judges and law officers, the grand juries, the public men, and the great daily newspapers in the south, who have recently done such effective work in leading the crusade against slavery. We say that during the last three months the returns, as far as they can be gathered, show a smaller number of lynchings than for any other two months during the last twenty years. Let us upbold in every way the hands of the men who have led in this work, who are serving to do all their work in this spirit. I am about to quote from the book *The Lives of the Bishop Condutor of North Carolina*, as given in the Southern Churchman of Oct. 8, 1904. The Bishop first enters an emblematic plea against any social intermingling of the races, a question which must, of course, he left to the people of each community to settle for them; he asks that each individual be one individual—can disease to any other, always provided that in each locality men keep in mind the fact that there must be no confounding of civil privileges with social intercourse. Civil law cannot regulate social privileges, but the same law will always regulate its own practices and halts. Full recognition of the fundamental fact that all men should stand on an equal footing with those privileges in no way interferes with recognition of the latter fact, that all reflecting men of both races are entitled in doing that race must be maintained. The Bishop concludes. What about the white men of the south side of the Negro? They must give us a free hand, a safe hold and a spiritual selves, the free hands working together for their moral benefit and the development of our common country. If the development of our common country fails to help us to reach the head, to build by himself, he must have justice, equal rights and protection before the law. He must have the same political privileges, the same rights, the same character and intelligence for white and black anks. He must have the same rights, the same character and intelligence for all the people, whatever their condition. The white men of the South should be hearty and respectful consideration to the exceptional men of the Negro race, to those who have the chance to the ability and the desire to lawyers, physicians, teachers, psychiatrists and other people, whatever their condition. We should give them a great opportunity to gratify every language and to seek every important satisfaction and their own people. Finally, the best white man of the South should have frequent confidence with the best colored men, where, if trust, courage and sympathy existed, they would stand each other better, from the fore and aide and encourage the wanderer face. Surely we all as you in expressing our substantial agreement with the principles thus laid down by this North Carolina Bible, this representative of the Christian thought of the South. Let us be stead for the right but be on the side of generally rather than on the side of violently as toward those who differ from us as to the method of attaining the right. Let us power for the right to be able to help them to abide from wrong the humble, and let us likewise act in a spirit of the broadest and frankest generation toward all our brothers, all our fellow countrymen, in a strength from strength, a spirit which takes no more account of locality than it does of glass or creed, a spirit which is resolutely Washington founded and which Washington founded and which Washington saved from destruction shall grow noble and greater throughout the ages. Immediately after he had finished his speech in the Republican club President Rosewell entered a carriage and, with his guard of secret service men, was driven to the Hotel Astor, where he was the guest of honor at the thirty-second annual banquet of the New York Press club. His entrance was greeted with tremendous applause. President Rosewell continued his speech largely to setting forth what he thought should be the attitude of the public and press toward other countries. He dwelt at a little length, however, on the question of honesty in office, and what he had to say on that subject was direct. At the close of his speech the president was driven from the Press club banquet back to the house of Douglas Robinson, where he passed the night. Pastor Baily's Busy Day. Pastor Bally of the Ebanezer Baptist Church primed Sunday. In the afternoon he conducted baptism at Mr. Olivet Bagley Church and at 4 p.m., spoke at Moving Blessed Church, where 21 persons were converted.

ORION SOCIAL CLUB Its Rehabilitation Last Sunday Evening Please New Yorkers. SWELL RE-UNION DINNER Old Club Members Gather at Hotel Maceo—The Souvenirs and Menu—Toasts and Speeches—This Popular Club, after Ten Years' Death, is Resurrected: To many persons the history of the Orion Social Club of this city is of much interest, in that it calls to memory pleasant associations of seventeen years past. The disbanding of the club has also its interesting features, as the gentler sex, and Cupid, no doubt are responsible therefor. Ten years have lapsed since this most popular social club went out of existence. But somehow, although the majority of its members had taken on anterior responsibilities, that spirit which brought the club into being was ever active, and although there were no more meetings, no more athletic contests and no more receptions, each former member was yet an Orion. That this was true, is shown by the fact that a single call from its efficient secretary W. W. H. Wright the response "Yes!" to the question, "Should We re-organize" from a majority of the old members. As a result, at a meeting held less than a month ago, it was unanimously agreed by all who could attend, with the sanction, by letter, of those who could not, that the 18th of February, 1906, be the day set for re-union and that the meeting be held at dinner. Thus it was a dual celebration—Lincoln's Birthday and the Orion Re-union. Accordingly, on last Sunday evening, the Hotel Macon, where the dinner was held, was the scene of one of the most representative gatherings of your men that has been called for some time in this city. At 9:30 o'clock the men filled the room and were seated in a vantage position by Mr. Rafael Hurbury, they are down to finally decorated table. Covers were laid for twenty. At each plate was a handmade souvenir of four leaves and cover, containing the club's emblem and name together with the portrait of its president, the menu, toasts, and the names of the club's club-busters—queased and living and also the headmen; the whole being the design and workmanship of the club's president. The members present were as follows: A. Wifred Monroe, president; Thomas W. Grigley, secretary; Arthur W. Handy, treasurer; J. Hillard Bannon, Allen D. Wied, W. J. Larson, W. Edward Richard, Richard L. Mason, David P. Reld, D. D. S., Clarence C. Potter, William E. Freeman, Steven Morris, William A. Garden, William H. Wright, Roger A. Pryor, Livigstone G.
