V . :i aVk W m a M PLEADS FOR NEGRO President Roosevelt Discusses the Race Problem In an Address at a Lincoln Day Banquet. APPEALS TO NORTII To Make Its Friendship for the South Greater. Because of the Embarrassment of Existing Conditions. New York, Feb. 14. As the guest of honor at the Lincoln dinner of the Re- publican club In this citv last nitrht . D .., ' . President Eoosevelt 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 it Is not alone responsible," and said that the problem was to "so adjust the relations between two races of different ethic 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 un harmed the high civilization wrought out by its forefathers." Following the president. Senator Dol liver of Iowa responded to the toast, "Abraham Lincoln;" George A. Knight of California spoke on "The Republican Party," and James M. Beck, ex-assistant attorney general of the United States, on the "Unity of the Republic." The president said: In his second Inaugural, In a speech which will be read as long as the mem ory of this nation endures, Abraham Lincoln closed by saying: "With malice toward none; with char ity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves, and with all nations." Immediately after his re-election he had already spoken thus: "The strife of the election Is but hu man nature practically applied to the facts' of the case. What has occurred in this case must ever recur In similar cases. Human nature will not change. In any future great national trial, com pared with the men of this, we shall have as weak and as stromr. as sillv j and as wise, as bad and as good. Let I us therefore, study the incidents of this j as philosophy to learn wisdom from. and none of them as wrongs to be re venged. May not all having a common interest reunite In a common effort to (serve) our common country? For my own part, I have striven and shall strive to avoid placing any ob stacle in the way. So long as I have been here I have not willingly planted a thorn in any man's bosom. While I am deeply sensible to the high compli ment of a re-election, and duly grate ful, as I trust, to Almighty God for having directed my countrymen to a right conclusion, as I think, for their own good, it adds nothing to my satis faction that any other man may be disappointed or pained by the result. "May I ask those who have not dif fered with me to join with me in this same spirit toward those who have?" This is the spirit in which mighty Lincoln sought to bind up the nation's wounds when its soul was yet seething with fierce hatreds, with wrath, with rancor, with all the evil and dreadful passions provoked by civil war. Surely this is the spirit which all Americans should show now. when there Is so little excuse for malice or rancor or hatred, when there is so little of vital consequence to divide brother from brother. Lincoln, himself a man of southern birth, did not hesitate to appeal to the sword when he became satisfied that in no other way could the Union be saved, for high though he put peace he put righteousness still higher. He warred for the Union; he warred to free the slave; and when he warred he warred in earnest, for it is a sign of weakness to be half hearted when blows must be struck. But he felt only love, a love as deep as the ten derness of his great and sad heart, for all his countrymen alike in the north and in the south, and he longed above everything for the day when they should once more be knit together in the unbreakable bonds of eternal friendship. Wre of today, in dealing with all our fellow citizens, white or colored, north or south, should strive to show just the qualities that Lincoln showed: His steadfastness In striving after the right, and his infinite patience and forbearance with those who saw that right less clearly than he did; his earnest endeavor to do what was best. and yet his readiness to accept the Dest tnat was practicable when tm ideal best was unattainable; his un ceasing effort to cure what was evil coupled with his refusal to make a bad situation worse by any ill judged or in timed ertort to make It better. The great civil war in which Lin coin towered as the loftiest figure left us not only a reunited country, but a country which has the proud right to claim as its own the glory won alike by those who wore the blue and by those who wore the gray, by those who followed Grant and by those who followed Lee; for both fought with equal bravery and with equal sincerity of conviction, each striving ior tne nsnt as it was given him to see the lijrht; though it is now clear to an triat the triumph of the cause of freedom and of the Union was es sential to the welfare of mankind. We are now one people, a people with failings which we must not blink, but a people with great qualities in which we nave tne right to feel just pride. All good Americans who dwell in the north must, because they are good Americans, feel the most earnest friendship for their fellow countrymen who dwell in the south, a friendship all the greater because it is in the south that we find in its most acute phase one of the gravest problems be fore our people: the problem of so dealing with the man of one color as to secure him the rights that no one would grudge him if he were of an other color. To solve this problem it is, of course, necessary to educate him to perform the duties, a failure to per form which will render him a curse to himself and to all around him. Most certainly all clear-sighted and generous men in the north appreciate the difficulty and perplexity of this problem, sympathize with the south in the embarrassment of conditions for which she is not alone responsible, feel an honest wish to help her where help is practicable, and havs the heartiest respect for those brave and earnest men of the south who, in the face of fearful difficulties, are doing all that men can do for the betterment alike of white and of black. The attitude of i the north toward the negro is far from1 I what it should be and there Is need that the north also should act in good faith upon the principle of giving to each man what is Justly due him, of treating him on his worth as a man, granting him no special favors, but de nying him no proper opportunity for la bor and the reward of labor. But the peculiar circumstances of the south render the problem there far greater and far more acute. Neither I nor any other man can say that any given way of approaching- that problem will present in our time even an approximately perfect solution, but we can safely say that there can never be such solution at all unless we ap proach it with the effort to do fair and equal justice among all men; and to demand from them in return just and fair treatment for others. Our effort should be to secure to each man, what ever his color, equality of opportunity, equality of treatment before the law. As a people striving to shape our ac tions in accordance with the great law of righteousness we can not afford to take part in or be indifferent to the oppression or maltreatment of any who, against crushing disadvantages, has by his own industry, energy, self-respect, and perseverance struggled upward to a position which would entitle him to the respect of his fellows, if only his skin were of a different hue. j Every generous impulse in us revolts at the thought of thrusting down in stead of helping up such a man. To deny any man the fair treatment granted to others no better than he is to commit a wrong upon him a wrong sure to react in the long run upon those guilty of such denial. The only safe principle upon which Americans can act is that of "all men up," not that of "some men down." If in any com munity the level of intelligence, morali ty, and thrift among the colored men can be raised, it is, humanly speaking, sure that the same level among the whites will be raised to an even higher degree; and it is no less sure that the debasement of the blacks will in the end carry with it an attendant debase ment of the whites. The problem is so to adjust the re lations between two races of different ethnic type that the rights of neither oe abridged nor jeoparded: 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 unharmed the high civilization wrought out by its forefathers. The working out of this problem must necessarily be slow; it is not possible in offhand fashion to obtain or to confer the priceless boons of freedom, industrial efficiency, po litical capacity, and domestic morality. Nor is it only necessary to train the colored man; it is quite as necessary to train the white man. for on his shoulders rests a well-nigh unparal leled sociological responsibility. It is a problem demanding the best thought, the utmost patience, the most earnest effort, the broadest char ity, of the statesman, the student, the philanthropist; of the leaders of thought in every department of our national life. The church can be a most important factor in solving it aright. But above all else we need for its successful solution the sober, kind ly, steadfast, unselfish performance of duty by the average plain citizen in his everyday dealings with his fellows. The ideal of elemental justice meted out to every man is the ideal we should keep ever before us. It will be many a long day before we attain to it, and unless we show not only devo tion to it, but also wisdom and self restraint in the exhibition of that de votion, we shall defer the time for its realization still further. In striving to attain to so much of it as concerns dealing w.ith men of different colors, we must remember, two things. In the first place, it is true of the colored man. as it is true of the white man, that in the Ions run his fate must depend far more upon his own effort than upon the efforts of any outside i'riend. Every vicious, venal, or ignorant colored man is an even greater foe to his own race than to the community as a whole. The color ed man's self-respect entitles him to do that 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 requisite of the race is moral and industrial uplifting. Laziness and shiftlessness, these, and above all, vice and criminality of every kind, are evils more potent for harm to the black race than ail acts of oppression of white men 'put to gether. The colored man who fails to condemn crime in. another colored man. who fails to co-operate in all lawful ways in bringing colored crim inals to justice, is the worst enemy of his own people, as well as 0n enemy to a 1 the people. Law-abiding black men should, for the sake of their race, be foremost in relentless and unceas ing warfare against law-breaking black men. If the standards of private morality and industrial efficiency can be raised high enough among the black race, then Its future on this con tinent is secure. The stability and purity of the home is vital to the wel fare of the black race, as it is to the welfare of every race. In the next place the white man, who, if only he is willing, can help the colored man more than all other white men put together, is the white man who is his neighbor, north or south. Each of us must do his whole duty NOT A PATENT MEDICINE Hyome!, the Guaranteed Catarrh Cure, Prescribed by Physicians. No one should confound Hyomei with the patent medicines that are ad vertised to cure catarrh. It is as far superior to them all as the diamond is more valuable than cheap glass. Their composition is secret, but Hyomei gives its formula to all reputable physicians. Its base is the valuable eucalyptus oil, famous for its antiseptic qualities. This is combined with aromatic and healing gums and balsams, making a pure liquid, which when used in the Hyomei pocket inhaler, fills the air you breathe with germ-killing, disease-destroying and healing powers that kills all catarrhal germs there may be in the throat, nose and lungs. How foolish it is to try and cure ca tarrh by swallowing tablets or liquids. The only natural way to cure this dis ease and all other diseases of the re spiratory organs is to breathe Hyomei. This treatment has been so success ful, curing 99 rer cent of all who have used it, that Hyomei is now sold by Rowley & Snow, 600 Kansas avenue, under an absolute guarantee to refund the money if it does not cure. You run no risk whatever in buying Hyo mei. If it did not possess unusual pow ers to cure, it could not be sold upon this plan. The complete Hyomei outfit costs $1.00 and comprises an inhaler, a bottle of Hyomei and a dropper. The inhaler will last a lifetime; and additional bot tles of Hyomei can be obtained for 50 cents. without flinching, and if that duty is national it must be done in accord ance with the principles above laid down. But in endeavoring each to be his brother's keeper it is wise to re member that each can normally do most for the brotner who is his im mediate neighbor. If we are sincere friends of the negro let us each in his own locality show : it by his action therein, and let us each show it also by upholding the nanaa of the white man, in whatever locality, who is striv ing to do justice to the poor and the helpless, to be a shield to those whose need for such a shield is great. The heartiest acknowledgments are due to the ministers, the judges and law officers, the grand juries, the public men, and the great dally newspapers in the south, who have recently done such effec tive work in leading the crusade against lynching In the south; and s am glad to say that during the last three months the returns, as tar as they can be gathered, show a smaller number of lynchings than for any other two months during the last twenty years. Let us uphold in every way the hands of the men vtio have led in this work, who are striving to do all their work in this spirit. I am about to quote from the address of the Right Rev erend Robert Strange, bishop coadjutor of North Carolina, as given in the South ern Churchman of October 8, -1904: The bishop first enters an emphatic plea against any social Intermingling of the races; a question which must, of course, be left to the people of each com munity to settle for themselves, as in such a matter no one community and indeed no one individual can dictate to any other; always provided that in each locality men keep in mind the fact that there must be no confusing of civil privileges with social intercourse. Civil law can not regulate social prac tices. Society, as such, is a law unto itself, and will always regulate its own practices and habits. Full afcognition of the fundamental fact that all men should stand cn an equal footing, as regards civil privileges, in no way interferes with rec ognition of the further fact that all re flecting men of both races are united in feeling that race purity must be main tained. The bishop continues: "What should the white men of the south do for the negro? They must give him a free hand, a fair held, and a cordial godspeed, the two races- working together ior tneir mutual Denent and ror the de velopment of our common country. He must have liberty, equal opportunity to make his living, to .earn his bread, to build his home. He' must have justice, equal rights, and protection before the law. He must have the same political privileges: the suffrage should be based on character and intelligence for white and black alike. He must have the same public advantages of education; the pub lic schools are for all the peo:le, what ever their color or condition. The white men of the south should give hearty and respectful consideration to the exceptional men of the negro race, to those who have the character, the ability and the desire to be lawyers, physicians, teachers, preach ers, leaders of thought and conduct among their own men and women. We should give them cheer and opportunity to gratify every laudable ambition, and to seek every innocent satisfaction among their own people. Finally, the best white men of the south should have frequent conferences with the best colored men, where in frank, earnest and sympathetic discussion they might understand each other better, smooth difficulties, and so guide and encourage the weaker race." Surely we can all of us join in express ing our substantial agreement with the principles thus laid down by this North Carolina bishop, this representative of the Christian thought of the south. I am speaking on the occasion of the celebration of the birthday of Abraham Lincoln, and to men who count it their peculiar privilege that they have the right to hold Lincoln's memory dear, and the duty to strive to work along the lines that he laid down. We can pay most fitting homage to his memory by doing the tasks allotted to us in the spirit In which he did the iniinitely greater and more terrible tasks allotted to him. Let us be steadfast for the right; but let us err on the side of generosity rather than on the side of vindictiveness toward those who differ from us as to the method of attaining the right. Let us never for get our duty to help in upliftinar the lowly, to shield from wrong the- humble; and let us likewise act in a spirit o the broadest and frankest generosity toward all our brothers, all our fellow countrymen; in a spirit proceeding not from weakness but from strength, a spirit which takes no more account of locality than it does of class or of creed: a spirit which is reso lutely bent on seeing that the union which Washington founded and which Lincoln saved from destruction shall grow nobler and greater throughout the ages. 1 believe in this country with all my heart and soul. I believe that our peo ple will in the end rise level to every enod, will in the end triumph over every difficulty that rises before them. I could not have such confident faith in the des tiny of this mighty people if I had it merely as regards one portion of that people. Throughout our land things on the whole have grown better and not worse, and this is as true of one part of the country as it is of another. I believe in the southerner as 1 believe in the northerner. I claim the right to feel pride in his great qualities and in his great deeds exactly as I feel pride in the great qualities and deeds of every other Amer ican. For weal or for woe we are knit together, and we shall go up or go down together; and I believe that we shall go up and not down, that we shall go for ward instead of halting and falling back, because I have an abiding faith in the generosity, the courage, the resolution, and the common sense of all my coun trymen. The southern states face difficult problems; and so do the northern states. Some of the problems are the same for the entire country. Others exist in greater intensity in one section: and yet others exist in greater intensity in an other section. But in the end they will an De solved: tor tunaamentauy our wo- . pie are the same throughout tins land: the same in the qualities of heart and brain and hand which have made this re- , public what it is in the great today; whicn , will make it what it is to be in the m- : finitely greater tomorrow.

Violations of Law Are Not All on One Side. Railway Paper Cites Fact That Shippers Practice Fraud. BILL GOODS FALSELY. Attempts Made to Beat Western Boads Out of $1,500,000. Gossip and Matters of Interest in Railway Circles. Disregard of the law and continuous violations thereof by the railways have been so frequently asserted and so se verely denounced in the public press that it is time something was said about lawbreakers on the other side, says the Railway Age. Those who pro. fess indignation over the attitude of the railways In this regard seem to for get two important facts: First, that railway managers do not give away the revenue of their roads unless they are obliged to do so; and, second, that where shippers succeed in securing re bates they are as guilty of Infraction of the law as the givers, with this dif ference, that the advantage and profit are mainly on the side of the shipper. Notwithstanding all the outcry some of it just and some of it Insincere it is the painful fact that, with few excep tions, those who denounce the railways for favoring other customers would be glad to get transportation at less than the lawful rate if they could. If the railways will not give rate reductions very many shippers proceed to steal them. The xtent to which efforts are made to "beat the roads" by men oth erwise reputable, as wTell as by dis reputables, would astonish the country if the facts were known. We propose to state a few of these facts, which can be substantiated fully by the records. The interstate commerce law providf-s that any person who, knowingly and wilfully, by false billing, false classifi cation, false weighing, false representa tion of the contents of the package, or false report of weight, with or without the consent or connivance of the car rier, shall obtain transportation for such property at less than the regularly established rate, shall be deemed guilty of fraud and shall be subject for each offense to a fine not exceeding $5,000. It would be supposed that, in a law abiding community, attempts to violate a law so specific and carrying such heavy penalties would be few ad far between. Yet during a single month, within the territory covered by the western lines, upward of 50,000 such at tempts, involving fraud to the amount of more than $100,000, have been detect ed by the railways. The aggregate in volved in such frauds on the part of shippers detected during the year 1901 in this same territory was nearly $1, 500,000; and it is certain that by no means all of the attempts were discov ered. Onlv recently the board of railroad com missioners in Kansas were petitioned to forbid the railways to open and examine packages, for the detection of false bill ing, etc., the petitioners admitting that they were misrepresenting their goods and did not want to pay the lawful rate. In a hearing before the Texas commission last month the representative of manu facturers of high class breakfast foods, who was arguing for a lower classifica tion on the goods, admitted that he was at that time shipping them under a false designation for the purpose of obtaining less than the authorized rate. In fact, so universal is the desire, and so common is the attempt, to "beat the railroads" by this means, that it has come to be looked upon as a matter of course. It is to be said in this connection that the railways themselves are largely re sponsible for these numerous violations of the law. Although knowing the facts, and having in their hands the evidence of the fraud, not one of them has sufficient backbone to enter a complaint. They maintain extensive bureaus at large cost for the purpose of detecting and correct ting these misrepresentations and seem ingly are content to let it go at that, whereas they should furnish evidence to the proper authorities for the prosecution of the offenders. The reason for this neglect of a plain duty is the knowledge that the road which takes the initiative will be made to suffer in loss of business. The Railway Age, knowing the facts, ap peals to the interstate commerce commis sion to institute an inquiry into the prac tices revealed by the records of the West ern WTeighing and Inspection bureau and the Central Freight association, to the Weak Kidneys To any kidney sufferer who has not tried my remedy I offer a full dollar's worth free.

At the session of the senate Mon day afternoon Senator Tucker intro- duced a resolution that from now on the senate begin work at 9 o'clock in the morning', hold at least two night sessions a week and that during the remainder of the session Republican platform and party pledge measures and appropriations bills be given pre cedence. Senator Tucker said time and eloquence had been devoted to harangues on minor bills and on economy. "And this time and elo quence is paid for at so much per speech," said Senator Tucker. "Not one single word is heard on the tax proposition. But two weeks of the 50 days of the regular session remain. Thirty-seven senators here are pledged to a primary election law. Not a bill has been spoken of on the floor. The same is true of a good roads law. We are pledged to pass a railroad law and I do not believe that a railroad or election law has emanated from this body. We are pledged to a congres sional reapportionment but no such bill has emanated in this body. I be lieve, first and chief duty is to fill the pledges given the people and about time we get down to those pledges. Not one bill introduced here would bring- down the condemnation, if not passed, that these party pledges would. These were pledges sacred to us before election. Do this if neces- j sary to have session every night and i J 1 DR. KILMER'S SWAMP-ROOT Kldny,L!ver & Bladder CURE. DIRECTIONS. Mat tak m one, two or tin Children t m arcerdinr to svr.

If you are already con vinced that Swamp-Root Is what you need, you can pur chase the regular fifty-cent and one-dollar size bottles at the drug stores every where. Don't make any mistake, but remember the name, Swamp-Root, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and the address, Binghampton, N. T., on every bottle. as to on rising glass or hours. If if there particles need of is used by phy to meet every morning at 8 o'clock." Senator J. L. Martin thought the committees should make reports ana he referred to the Noftzger primary election law introduced early in the session. There was some objection to meet ing as early as 9 o'clock. Senator Griffin thought much of the fault lies in committees failing to re port. Senator Miller thought the even ings, or most of them, should be de voted to committee work. Senator Young called attention to the rule requiring committees to re port in five days. "We ought to ob serve the rules," said Senator Young. "The senator from Greenwood says thirty-seven senators are pledged to some railroad legislation," said Senator Hodges, one of the three Democrats. "If the senator should read the Demo cratic platform he will see that we are so pledged, or at least two of us, for one is absent today." This brought a laugh as the absent member of the minority is Senator Waggener, the Missouri Pacific and Central Branch. general attorney. "I am glad to hear that the minori ty members are as good Republicans as we are." said Senator Tucker. The resolution was amended to make the time for the beginning of the morning meetings 10 o'clock and was adopted. Only 23 of the 40 sena tors were present. The 23 members of the senate went into the committee of the whole. The committee of the whole recom mended for passage Senator StilUngs" bill making "spitting" on the floor of any public conveyance or public hall a. misdemeanor. The committee of the whole went after Senator Miller's bill establishing; state uniformity of maps, charts, globes and empowering the state text-book commission to enforce the same by striking out blackboards, furniture and other supplies and then recommended that the bill be passed as amended subject to further amend ment and debate. The committee of the whole recom mended for passage Senator Blaker's bill appropriating $2,000 to be used in provid ing steel cases, with plate glass fronts and backs, as near air-tight as prac ticable, in which to preserve the various regimental and other battle flags carried by Kansas troops, and that they be added to the museum of the State Historical so ciety Senator Hayden's bill providing "that if any disorganized school district has a legally existing bonded indebtedness at the time of its disorganization, such in debtedness shall attach to and be a charge against the territory comprised m such disorganized district at the time of Its disorganization; and it shall be the dutv of the county commissioners of such county annually to cause to be levied upon the property, real and personal, in such disorganized territory a tax suffi cient to meet the interest and provide a sinking fund for the payment of such in debtedness," was recommended for pass age. Representative Young's house bill changing the present law regarding man slaughter in the third degree to apply to an "involuntary" killing instead of "vol untary," as in the present law, was rec ommended for passage. The committee recommended for pass age Senator Stewart's bill making the use of flags or pictures of the United States flag for advertising purposes unlawful. Senator Dolley's bill making the usual appropriation to the State AgTiculturfiiJ college of the interest on funds in th permanent fund of the college, was rec ommended for passage. The committee of the whole recommend ed for passage Senator F. Dumont Smith's bill aimed at the aeents of unauthorized insurance companies', which provides that "any insurance company, corporation or association engag-ed in the business of in suraee shall, before attempting to do any business in the state of Kansas, soliciting insurance, anpointmg resident agent or agents, or doing any act or thing in any manner related to the insurance business, secure from the state superintendent of insurance his permission to carry on sucn business."
