"There Is a great commotion over
President Roosevelt's appointment of
negroes to office. He does not do as
other presidents did. Others appoint
ed the negro because he was a negro,
but President Roosevelt appoints them
as men. So broad are his views, so
lofty is his conception of even-handed
Justice .that he has proclaimed to the
world that the door of hope Is open to
every man regardless of color or previ
ous condition of servitude. If the ne
gro is not a citisen, then this governT
ment stands indicted before the world
as a colossal fraud."
