While the rough riders are not
running the Roosevelt administra­
tion, the appointment of one of them
as governor of Arizona shows that
the president is not turning his back
on his old comrades.
Some of our exchanges are of the
opinion that the senatorial contest
in 1903 will settle down to a three
cornered struggle between Joe Si­
mon, H. W. Scott and C. W. Fulton.
The prediction comes too early to
draw conclusions.
It is said that President Roosevelt
in his annual message will recom­
mend the creation of a department
of commerce whose official headshall
be a member of the cabinet. This
may afford Mt’. Bryan a text for
another jeremiad on the evils of
“commercialism.”
The principal rules of law laid
down by the Oregon supreme court
in recent decisions are that where a
property-owner's land is assessed in
a lump sum, and land not owned bj’
him is included in the description,
the assessments are wholly void, and
a sale of such property for taxes is
illegal. That it is the duty of a
traveler on a public road to look and
listen for a train before he crosses a
railroad track, and whether he lias
been negligent in the extreme of his
care in this respect is a question for
the jury.
Booker T. Washington, a negro,
recently dined with President Roose­
velt.
Washington is one of the
brightest men this age has produced,
and his advice to negroes is so full
of common sense that, he may be re­
garded as a very useful man. The
proud southerners may sniff, but
Roosevelt did nothing out of the
way. Prominent men all over the
country take pride in honoring Book­
er T. Washington. Hu is a severe
critic of tlie loafing, singing, cake­
walking', banjo-picking negro.
Ho
advises the negroes to make them­
selves respected by industry and
worthy conduct. Booker T. Wash­
ington never goes where lie is not
wanted, and had been invited Iodine
with the president. It is a lesson
for negroes that they should not for
get.

Of course nobody but a blather­
skite like Tillman would have thought
of such a scurrilous insult to the
president of the United States as to
suggest that the presence of Booker
Washington at the private table of
the president opened up a logical
way to a negro's becoming a member
of tlie president’s family.
Tillman
has delivered himself of many dis­
gusting and uncalled for utterances,
but tliis was hardly to be expected
even of him. The president himself
is pursuing the even tenor of his
wav, undisturbed by the attempts to
discredit him for treating an intelli­
gent and highly educated negro with
the respect and courtesy he extends
to white men under similar circum­
stances.
There is little doubt that Mr.
Washington’s table manners will
compare favorably with those of Mr.
Tillman, with all due respect for the
“courtliness" for which the sons of
South Carolina are noted.
As for
the danger of the United States be
coming a race of mulattos through
the precedent established by Presi­
dent Roosevelt, it is enough to say
that tlie suggestion came from Till­
man, and could come from no other
source.

democratic leaders are gelling their

their Washington brethren, but they
believe they can discern in the dis­

Here as in Washington, they are
pinning their faith to a possible di­
vision of the republicans.
