CAROLINA SOCIETY OF
BALTIMORE.
Wednesday. January 23. 1907.
ROOSEVELTS LUCK.
The evident motive of tho origins!
i'oraker rwalutlea for the l:ivesUsa
tfon of the shooting up of Ilrownsville
by tho negro troojw was to call In
qrastion coostltutlonal right of
President Roosevelt to dismiss a bat
talion of-troops without their clay In
court. Tillman evidently sided with
him oo that ground, for tho South
Carolina Senator admitted that the
negro troops wvre respcn&ible for tho
'shooting up." However, on Monday
Koraker secured the passage of hi i
jubsOtute. which only calls for an In
quiry late t!w f.ic:s cf the shooting
op" end in no way calls In question
tho President's constitutional author
ity to dismiss In tho event that tho in
quiry develop tho facts to warrant
the dismissal of the troops. To a man
np a tree, the picture below 6hows
! Tillman deserted and standing by
himself In contending for trhat For
aker started out to do but fluked.
There tsa't any harm in the Fora
ker aubJtituu. it will bring out the
OTldonco already In bund. Tho Pres
ident doubticsts took advantage of th?
caoadment of Senator Blackburn to
a&ip tho opposition in his own party.
Lucky Roosevelt! Tho Democrats
(Southern ones) had better nursed
their chins, kept out of it and let the
Rnpublicacs fight out their own family
rxtf.
The Forakcr resolution surely dl-J
erve tho purpose cf getting Demo
crats to saying mean things to ach
other and In the "ran tangle" the Re
publicans get out cf It a harmony
-circks In their own ranks- It will be
especially noticed that none of the
Republican Senators abused their er
rant confrere from Ohio.
Anyhow, -the Dlackburn amendment
Co Foraker's Hrownsvilla resolution
drew tho fangs cut cf the Foraker
motive. Forakcr was driven to cover
and he nimbly took to it under the
prooense of harmony 12 his ixurty
cankjs. When wc get In a hole wo

This 1& an Interesting view of the
ituation as given Tuesday night from
Washington by the correspondent of
S Charlotia Observer:
"Tonight the United States Senate
oadershlp Is happy and contented,
whlk: the Senate Democrats aro rath
er dofeful and unhappy. Tho superb
Aldrich discipline has served once
more to atract tho Republicans from
a most precarious situation, superin
duced by this llrownjvllJe business,
wfclch threatened to disrupt the party.
President Rooseviit had let it be un
decVXKxi that to would regard the
act of the Republicans who voted
again; thj Blackburn resolution rco
agnizing his authrrity to discharge
the egro battalion, not enly as a re
buke to him lr this Immediate matter
but that he wouM feci warranted In
concluding that such Republicans were
hoping to embarrass him In his efforts

NATURE SPARES

What a fortunate provision of nature
It !. that deprives the rose ot menial
