While he had re tired at the time of the Brownsville ' order, he was still on terms of In timacy with the Chief Executive. .3 low came he to give out this cable gram? How came he in possession It Ita text? It is evident that he could not have had it. and It Is as certain that he would not have given St out for publication without the knowledge of Secretary Taft and the auction of the President. ' OCCASION FOR WORRY. With the widespread disaffection ef the negroes on account of this Brownsville affair and other things, and with enough negro votes in Ohio. Indiana, llllnoia and Kansas to throw those States into the Demo cratic column should the negroes vote the Democratic ticket, and pos sibly enough to do this should. they not vote at all. there is occasion for jar. Roosevelt to do something to ave tfala Important vote to his man Taft. While upon this negro matter, .t. iv. 1 Ait nnr like ta be upon. as thia is one question I think it bet .1 1 j k. i a inn as much as DOS- sdble, I have Just received a letter from a negro college president m . w CLaefh nna WrlMA DkmC I Will lug tJvutu, v - not give, because I have not his per- miuinn nut ne is wen auuu tn hla Htate by men f hoh races.

There are influential lead.rs and newspapers moulding public sentiment against th negro as being Incompetent for an Intelligent exercise of the ballot, because he blindly follows Republi can leaders, no matter now irienuiy Democrats msy be toward him, always voting for his worse enemies and against nil best irienas; mere jore, he must be disfranchised. On the other hand there are strong men and papers moulding sentiment against allowing the negro who has elf-respeet and intelllirenre enough to lead him to eas,t his vote as a pro test against Republican hypocrisy any freedom of actjon whatever. They would wall him in with the Repub lican party so that he cannot escape, where the leaders may Insult nnd Impose upon him. and then ask. if ''he does not like it. where Is he go ing? And then these same influential Democratic leaders who shape con- dltlona so aa to circumscribe the riegro. direct public attention to the Incompetency and lark of manhood as shown by the negro who licks the hand that smites him.
