Notes From Exchanges.
"This Government is based upon
the fundamental idea that eace man,
no matter what his occupation,
his race or his religious
belief, is entitled to be treated on his
worth as a man, and neither favored
nor discriminated against because of
any accident in his position. Even
here at home there is a painful difti
culty in the effort to realize this ideal
and the attempt to secure from other
nations acknowledgement of it some
times encounters obstacles that are
well nigh Inseperable."
Theodore Koosovolt in his letter
of acceptance of the nomination as
President of the United States.
The above clause in President
Roosevelt's letter of acceptance
bears out the well known fact that
he is a man who never backs down
faoin the standard he has set up
and proves that he is the president
of all the people regardless of race
or color.
The American public which pro
tends to lie such a groat lover of
fair play has in this man an ideal
representative. Never before in
the history of our country have we
had a chief executive who would
so boldly pronounce his views re
gardless of public sentiment. Theo
dore Koosevelt stands in a class to
himself, an' American of Ameri
cans. As such he is the best man
for the White House which Alton
B. Parker and the party that nomi
nated him will doubless find out.
Ex.
After the white race has "Jim
Crowed', all of the Negro's privi
leges, and disfranchised him com
pletely, that class of "ikes" that,
stand on street corners and ip
public places discussing the ppj't'
cal situation and the overlsi.g
Negro problem, will at Iasf'como
to the full realization of the impor
tance of paying their poll tax and
the value of the ballot. If our col
ored citizens had possessed more
poll tax receipts, a Republican rep
resentative would have been sent
to our next state legislature and
thus eno blow at least would have
been struck against school tax seg
regation and other "Jim Crow"
measures. Ex
A few issues ago, we noticed in
our contemporary, The Comet, of
Muskogee, an account of the in
tention of some young paoplo there,
to devise ways and means for the'
completion of the Baptist church
that was started some time past,
but stopped for the lack of funds.
We commend these young people,
and venture lo say that, that is a
move in the right direction. The
majority of these young people we
understand, belong to other de
nominations, thus making their
actions more commendable. It is
high time, that our people should
be encouraged along these lines,
and forever lay aside the potty
differences of donominationalism
or no denomination at all. The
cause is a good one, and it affects,
or will effect our people as a whole,
thus wo see the advisability of ur
ging all to emulate those young
people, by giving a strong pull,
and a pull altogether towards the
completion of that splendid edifiqo.
The time is opportune, for if the
walls and other materials be loft
open to the weathering effect of a
probably rigid winter, irreparable
injury might thereby be occasion
ed, but on tho other hand should
there be a materialization of tho
efforts inaugurated to complete
that building, an amount of money
so far expended will be saved, and
a structure that will redown to the
credit of the race will have been
constructed. Echo.
"YOUR MOTHER
OUR ADVERTISERS
A practical woman of this town
remarked the othel day that she
read tho advertisements in a news
paper than anything else. "And
long ago," she said, "I quit buy
ing of those who do not advertise.
It always seem to mo that the mer
chant .who advertises incites me
to trade with him, while the one
who does not advertise impresses
bo with tho idea that he doesn't
care enough for my trade to ask
for it. Then, too, I know that
the merchant who advertises has
fresher goods for the reason I sup
pose he sells more" Ex
