DRAWN BY GORDON NYE. Victor Hugo said: “The acceptance of oppression by the oppressed ends in complicity; cowardice is consent whenever the duration of a bad thing, which weighs upon a people and which that people could prevent if it would, goes beyond the bounds of an honest man s patience. There is an appreciable solidarity and a partnership in shame between a government guilty of the evil and the people submitting to it. To suffer is noble, to submit is contemptible. Hoke Smith as Running Mate to Roosebelt Oyster Bay, N. Y., June 15. —John Temple Graves, of Atlanta, Ga., ed itor of The Atlanta Georgian, was the first visitor to be received by the president at Sagamore Hill dur ing the latter’s summer vacation. The Georgia orator arrived this morning and was immediately driv en out to Sagamore Hill. “I came to talk with the president Atlanta, Ga., Thursday June 20, 1907. about a number of important mat ters,” said Mr. Graves, ‘‘and when I leave Sagamore Hill I may have some interesting information. 1 came by special invitation, and until 1 talk with the president and learn his views on the subjects to be taken up I do not feel at liberty to dis cuss them.” Mr. Graves is quoted ns saying that the president’s Jamestown speech had made him strong r in the South than he had been before and reiterating his views on the poss - bh* candidacy of Mr. Roosevelt. Asked as to his views regarding a vice president. Mr. Graves is quot ed as replying: “Hoke Smith is the most repre sentative man of the South, as great a man as Bryan, a man who is to (he party subordinale what Roosevelt is lo the party militant. I cannot imag" ine a greater combination than tins* two. Roosevelt's mother was a Southern woman. Hoke Smith’s mother was a northern woman. Where could we find a more titling expression of the era of good feel ing than for both parties to nomi nate these two statesmen for the two highest olliees within the gift of thu people?” Offlj Mr ffl?
