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. I admire and
respect and believe in and have faith in i

thus can we be sure that our children's

RAILROAD MEWS.
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

Thousands of Men and Women Have Kidney Trouble
and Never Suspect It.
To Prove What the Great Kidney Remedy, Swamp-Root Will Do
for YOU, Every Reader of the State Journal May Have
a Sample Bottle Sent Absolutely Free by Mail.
It used to be considered that only urinary
and bladder troubles were to be traced to the
kidneys, but now modern science proves that
nearly all diseases have their beginning in
the disorder of these most important organs.
Therefore, when your kidneys are weak or
out of order, you can understand how quickly
your entire body is affected, and how every
organ seems to fail to do its duty.
If you are sick or "feel badly" begin taking
the great kidney remedy. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, because as soon as your kidneys begin
to get better they will help all the other organs
to health. A trial will convince aayone.
I was out of health and run down generally: had
no appetite, was dizzy and suffered with headache
most of the time. I did not know that my kidneys
were the cause of my trouble, but somehow felt
that they might be, and I begun taking Swamp
Root. There is such a pleasant taste to Swamp
Root, and it goes right to the spot and drives dis
ease out of the system. It has cured me, making
me stronger and better in every way, and I cheer

nerves, makes you dizzy, restless, sleepless and
irritable. Makes you pass water often during
the day and obliges you to get up many times
during the night. Unhealthy kidneys cause
rheumatism, gravel, catarrh of the bladder,
pain or dull ache In the back, joints and
muscles; ; make your head ache and back ache.

Senate Refuses to Go to Work Before
10 a. ni.
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

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."
