A SHAME ON THE PRESIDENT
From the time Crispus- Attucks shed
liis blood upon the streets of Boston until
the gallant Tenth Calvary charged up the
iill at San Juan, no indignity heaped up-
on the heads of colored men who have
shed their blood to preserved this Union
equals the one placed upon their browns
by the orders of President Roosevelt in
discharging Companies B, 0 and I), of
the Twenty-Fifth Infantry of the United
States Army, forsooth, because they
would not act as spies and traitors at the
b: hest of an investigator, or on orders of
their commander-in-chief.
President Roosevelt's son refused to
give evidence against a comrade iu school
and the whole country applauded, bnt
when the same test is applied to three
companies of Negro soldiers, even the
Presideut himself orders that they be dis
charged Shame on ti e President. Men
who have grown gray iu the service of
their country, turned loose like manly
curs to go through the world with the
brand of Cain upon their brows. No such
punishment was ever placed on the re-
cords of this country.
Ann it was Presideut Roosevelt that
placed it there.—Afro-American Ledger

read soberly considered that part
of the acceptance address deliv-

convinced that the cheif aim of
that convention, espeically the
Southern element is to make a
constitution on parody with Miss-

disfranchise the Negro citizen-

under such a Constitution as the
Democrats propose to make viz.,

Washington, Ded. 8—Surprise lit up
the faces of the senators when Mr. Pen-
rose injected into the formal opening
ceremony of thai body today a resolution
of Inquiry addressed to the preside.it re-
garding to the discharge at Fort Reno,
Ok., of three negro cempaniesof Hie 25th X
infautry. j ^
When Mr. Penrose said he had a reso |
lution for which he should like immediate
consideration, Mr. Fairbanks arose and j
after hesitating a second, remarked: "The j
usual rule is not to consider resolutions or!
miscellaneous matter untill after the'
message of the presideut is recieved.''
This was granted. It foiiows:
"Kesolved: That the president is re-
quested to communicate to the senator, if
not incompatible with the public interest
full information bearing upon the recent
order dismissing from the military service
of the United States three companies of
the 25th regiment infantry, United States
troops, colored."
Mr. Foraker of Ohio, was upon his feet
at once, saying:
"I have a substitute for that in the fol-
owing resolution and 1 ask that it be read
and that both lie over."
Mr. Spooner secured the re reading of
the first resolution, and Mr. Warren of
Wyoming asked that both go over.
The Foraker resolution was read at his
request. It was addressed to the secre-
tary of war, directing that official to fur-
nish the senate copies of all official letter,
telegrams, reports and orders filed with
the war department in connection with
the recent, discharge of the troops in
question, together with a complete list of
the men discharged showing the record of
each, the amount of retired pav each was
entitled to undergo certain section of the
revised statutes. The filling of the de-
partment is asked on this or any other
similar case regarding tbe right of the to
such retired pay, also the ruling of the
department as to the right of such dis-
charged men to retire on three-fourth pay !
with allowance, subsistence and clothing;
their rights to enter the national soldiers
homes; to be buHed in h national ceine +
tery: to recieve substence and transpor- 5
tation from the place of the discharge to
their home: also the complete official re- *
cord of the 25th reciment of infantry1
from the time of its muster into the date
of the discharged to the companies men-

no single instance is recorded when that
trust was ever abused or betrayed.
"But when the right to vote was given
him, the negro began to have desires and
ambitions to which he was a strauger be-
fore. The franchise was an injustice to
the negro, and the cruelest blow ever in-
flicted by victory against men of the same
race It did not help the negro, but it
put the south in political bondage, and
has done nothing but create discord and
confusion.
"In my opinion, both President Roose-
velt and Senator Tillman have perhaps,
unconsciously done much harm to both
the racees. one by the appearance of so-
cial equality, encouraged false hopes in
the breast of the negro; the other, by
fierce denunciation and indiscriminate
abuse, excites the passions of white men.
The natural results of both acts is to pro- j
voke bad blood and excite to deeds of,
violence.
"That we the white race is dominant and
superior, and that It will remain so, needs
no iteration to make ji an indisputable
fact. To teach the negro otherwise is to
teach a racial crime. To excite the domi-
nant race by intemperate speech ^gainst
the inferior is to commit another racial
crime.
"There are thousands of negroes in the
South and the North, many ol them use-
ful and Capable' who perform their daily
task, do not olfend against the laws, who
are kind hearted and deserving, and these
ought to be protected from false friends
and unfair enemies, Both do the tin-
offended meuiuers of the race infinite
harm, and neither helps to solve a great
question."—Commerical Appeal.
