from Wnnhlnfrtntl recently to the ef
fect that the tnulii purpuric of hlH pro
jected vlHlt to Africa It) not big gumo
at all, but to otudy the negro on his
nutlve soil. We are told that Mr.
RooHcvelt believes the nice question
Ih the gniveHt one confronting Am
erican gtntcxmanHhlp today, and that
a study of the negro In Africa may
go a long way toward solving the
problem of the negro In America.
There Ih an Intimation that Mr.
Roosevelt Is convinced that, upon re
tiring from the presidency, he can
devote hl.s time no more profitably
than to a Hi u.lv of t h Ih question.
1Itc lies a field of endeavor with
possibilities f f achievement vast
enoiik'h to satisfy the stupendous en
ergy of even Theodore Roosevelt. If
he can take the lead In a solution
of this problem, so perplexing that
the wisest grow grave In contem
plating It, he will have a place In his
tory unexcelled by any other Ameri
can unexcelleil in the history of
man anywhere.
No other iiiestlon has so engrossed
the best thought of the present gener
ation of Americans, and a solution Is
no nearer at hand than It was a gen-
ration ago, while the need of a snlu
tlon Is much more Imperative. It Is
said President Lincoln had In mind
Home scheme of colonization, and col
onization is the only thing that hns
even been proposed In the way of
solution. The obstacles In the way
of colonization are so vast, so appar
ently Insuperable, that the bravest
have (mailed before them. One great
man expressed the accepted view
when he said that separation of the
mi- lu the onlf uolotion Tuiwulliln nn.l'
that scparatln was absolutely impos
sible. Can Roosevelt overcome these
nbtacles? He probably can come as
near as any living man. Certainly
the Job Is big enough to satisfy him
. and to keep him busv the rest of his
natural life.
Ills VIM4 I'liex!.
In discussing the matter It must bo
remembered that President Roose
velt has never said publicly that he
believes In colonizing the negro Rut
It Is well known that he appreciates
the necessity of lining something In
a situation that Is all the time grow
ing more acute, and that he has glv
n some of his best thought to the
problem. The years since the civil
war have demonstrated that the races
cannot dwell together In amity, that
In enforced propinquity of dwelling
there Is ever the dread prospect of
race conflict, the crudest, most ruth
less warfare man ever engages In.
The best of the negroes do not aspire
to social equality, but they do Insist
upon political equality. To this end
the white man, especially the white
man of the south, will not consent.
Nor Is denial of political equality con
fined to the south. In the north the
negro may vote and hold minor of
fices, but neither Massachusetts, nor
Ohio, nor Montana would suffer a
negro to he governor nor send bin)
to the senate of the I'nlted States.
The negro enjoys rudimentary po
litical rights In the north because he
Is not tliere In sufficient numbers to
constitute a political menace. If he
were there Is no reason to doubt that
Massachusetts would go as far as
Mississippi In the determination to
prevent political domination by the
negro.
It was President Roosevelt who de
clared the door of hope should not
be closed to any man because of his
race or color.
There are not lacking evidences
that for the past three or four years
Mr. Itoosevelt has been at work on
the problem. He has conferred with
negro leaders, with southern white
men and with thinkers In the north.
Perhaps he even now has an embry
onic plan. If he has set his heart to
this task It would explain many
things that have seemed Inexplicable
In the past. It Is certain the country
would eagerly receive any project he
might enfold, and If It appeared he
had found the solution untold resour
ces would be at his command. The
Oirneglcs and the Rockefellers would
be shown a use for their millions that
would make the building of libraries
nnd the endowing of universities seem
foolish things.
There are many negro leaders who
nre Just ns anxious for a solution of
the race problem as any white men,
and upon the cooperation of these
Mr. Roosevelt could count, provided
he evolved o plan that promised a so
lution without injustice to the negro
It goes without saying that Mr.
Roosevelt would not seek Injustice to
the negro.
There never was a time when n
greater task awaited the coming of n
nian. If Mr. Roosevelt has in mind
that he may be the man owalted, he
will find his fellow counlrymen eager
to give him a trial.
this city today. A resolution having
this object In view has been present
ed to the synod.
Other Important matters to be con
sidered Include the treatment of the
sick by spiritual methods; religious
education In the schools; the promo
tion of the temperance cauHe; meth
ods of refuting the "errors" of the
Higher Criticism, and the establish
ment of a church newspaper.
The most vital question before the.
synod, that of promoting church
union, Is presented In a motion by
Judge Krmatlnger, oh follows:
"That this synod consider It advls.
able to Invite the co-operation of
other Christian churches or bodies in
the furtherance of the following ob
jects: More effective co-operation In
Chrlstlun and moral reform work.
The defining, territorially or other
wise, of the fields of missionary and
other effort on the respective
lllUrches Or bodies. The encourage
ment of a spirit of brotherhood and
unity among all denominations of
Christians, with a view lo their ulti
mate corporate reunion. Such other
subjects as the several participating
or ullled churches, or bodies, may
from time to time agree upon, and
that a standing committee, composed
of members from each house, be ap
pointed to invite, meet, consult, and
act In concert with similar delega
tlons from the other churches or
bodies and to report from time to
time to this synod."
This motion, If carried In toto, will
be a most decided effort to bring
;ibout the union of the churches.
Another motion provides that the
synod place on record Its opinion that
some way should be provided under
the public schools system to secure
such religious Instruction In primary
and secondary schools and universi
ties, the teaching of such religious
Instruction an the different denomi
nations may deem proper for their
children.

tions at the fair. Is now being assem
bled by the directors. Wild horse
will be brought fronj Adams and
I'matilla counties and the riders who
will be here are among the best In the

wild west shows, had this class ot
show been desired.
