Dr. Kirsch thinks is spread by the .7 practice of liaiid shaking.; Indeed.,, if •what he boj t s be ti-ue, there ought to be ', no more hand ' shaking—- law •. or no', la-w—^ unless the persons Indulging In the habit 'wear gloves, certified to ' bo 'non-trans \ inisslble of germs. .

In President Roosevelt's negrophilistlc pftJlcy he sowed the -vind and ; therefrom the Republican leaders at Wasning£bn are reaping the .whirlwind. No wonder a Republican- senator^ declared to Mr. Hoar that ha thought tha abolition of slavery was : a mistake. It is said that.Repub T . lican . senators and representatives are. being "pestered" to .death by negro -. de mands for the pensioning of slaves, army , "positions, an<i. Federal: civil .OSces. The' Crum and th« Indianola incidents hive stimulated importunity in • respect of .ne-'^ gro recognition beyond anything that. has been known In years. There Is no sort ef doubt that the gradual elimination '■' of ' ".the negro from politics in the South was working' to pro* duce contentment among* the race. The negro was slowly! but surely beginning to accept the inevitable, especially since " it was dawning upon .'him that the.&prtti \pas fast becoming indiflerent. to the southern movements to restrict, negro suffrage. -There was gfeat promise In tho" situation for botlr :tlio nfigroos and the whites of the. South. There was Gncour agement. to the former to prepare themr te'ves the better for the exercise of the euirr«.ge r and the .latter were justified in expecting In time a niore industrious and reliable class of laborl Logically it could be counted On that friction between the races would be greatly. reduced and coii-^ S6quently the whites would be more wmi Ing to contribute to negro education. - But truly President Rodsevelt threw the fat into the tire. Not In .. two decades,; perhaps, has the negro : been so dlscon tentoo and restless and assertive as ho has now been mado by Mr. Roosevelt's coddling of him. Not in two decades, perhaps, has this " negro been done a worse turn than, is, represented In the administration's, course Jn foisting him into public positions where h<s Is especial ly obnoxious. to the whites." The President's negrophiiistSc ■ policy - : aside from Its "effect in Intensifying race prf-.ludice in the South— aside from breath- Ing new life-into the race issue .in this section—has caused tho negro to render himself more obnoxious th3n in years to the North. ' " \ Hie demands • for pensions,^ for army positions/ and • for more Federal offices Is but' ti.«; legitimate fruit of the": President's defiance !of race prejudice, and so far'as the negroes' progress and happiness are concerned, Mr.: Roosevelt has set, the clock back many j-earsl The face iselow; to learn and it will .boa long: season be fore it ceases the, lmportunities to which tht .President has encouraged, it." Meanwhile, what with the changing sen timent .at the North on the negro Ques tion, the majority of tlie race ;niay find their last condition : in that section worse than their first. Between "tho. feeling the President has stirred up ' at 'thfe" South; and" the impatience the negroes'. demands has. excited at Washington 'the outlook is for. the undoing of>a vast deal that had k£!? n :"?? n ? ln the • negroes' interesL Al ready we have Indicatiftns that 'the new negro, "on . to .
