, PRESIDENT’S ACT CON-
DEMNED.
President Rnosvelt’s act of inviting
Booker T Waihington to dine with
him, by no means meets with the ap-
probation of the Southern Press, but
on the contrary is severely criticised
The Northern Press, on the other hand
is defending it. The following are ex-
tracts from some of the leading papers.
“President ltoosvelt could not have
committed any act, not actually unlaw-
ful, that would have excited as much
popular feeling or aroused public at-
tention as much as has the entertain
ing of Hooker T Washington ut dinin i
in the White House.”—New Orleans
Picayune

The news from Waslungt that Presi-
dent Booker T Washington of Tueke
gee Institute was a guest In the White
Houte at dinner with President and
Mrs Hoosvelt and family, and that
after dinner there was the usual social
hour over cigars, is a distinct shock to
the favorable sentiment that was crvs
t alii zing in the south for the new presi
dent—Augusta (Us.) Chronicle

SCHOOL TALK.
It has been a matter of muoh con-
cern wit)i both the school board and
teachers, since the beginimng of the
present term in regard to the crowed
condition of the school, but daring the
this week,the necessity of improve-
ments was more foroibly impreesed
upon them. While the rooms occupied
by the higher grades are ample, being
well furnished and ventilated, the pri-
mary department, comprising a room
12 x 18 feet, having two windows in
one end and a door in the other, which
must be admitted, affords but little
ventilation without creating a draught,
which is worse than none.
There are in attendance in this room,
about thirty pupils, which should re
quire as many seats; however there
are live rows, extending lengthwise or
the room, a row against the wall on
each side, another row against each of
those and a row down the middle,
which leaves room for two very narrow
aisles. Furthermore, the seats are so
close together in the row, should a
child drop a pencil, which often occurs,
it is necessary for them, In order to re-
cover it, to get out in the aisle and tbeii
crawl under the seats. ,

Austin Tex, Oct. 22.-(Special)—
State Land Pommissoner ('has. Rogan
has rejected all applications for the
purchase of public free school lands In
Brewster county, as grazing or agricul
tnraj lands, which were made just prior
t > the public announcement ot the
opinion recently rendered bv the attor
nev general, to the effect that such land
when not already class!fled by the state
geological survey as mineral lands,
were open to purchase as grazing or
agricultural lands
The applications rejected by the land
commissioner are about twenty in
numbt r The reasons which he gives
for tlieir rejection is that while the
lands had not been classified as miner
al lands, they were bo recognized by the
land office, and were being worked as
such under the mining laws of the
state; also that those who had made
application to purchase lands as actual
settlers knew at the time they made it
that the lands were mineral lands, and
that upon some sections valuable min-
ing developments and improvements-
clean blood flows through the veins of
white people. The negro is entitled lo
his rights under the law, and the men
who stand for white supremacy are the
strongest advocates of granting him
these rights But beyond that they
will not go. The example cf president
or potentate tai not cl a ige their
views President Hoosvelt hns com-
mitted a blunder that is worse limn a
crime, and no atonement or future act
of his can remove the self imprinted
stigma ”----Memphis Commercial Ap

j The most damnable outrage which
I has ever been perpetrated by any citi-
zen of the United states was commit-
. ted by the president when he invited
a negro to dine with him at the White
, House Hoosvelt the individual and
Hoosvelt the president are not, to be
| viewed in the slime light. He went
out of h:s wav and extended a special
invitation to a negro to nil down at
table with him lie has closed the
door to any accessions of hi iithern
white men to the Republic in ranks.—
Scimitar (Memphis.)

President Roosvelt’s Georgia ances
try ought to be allowed the privilege of
denying it if they see lit. Instead of
trying to wipe out the Mason and Dix
on line, ns was predicted he would,
President Hoosvelt appeurs to have
engaged in the hopeless undert iking
of trying to wipe out the color line.
Every negro in the south will feel a
shade whiter now that one of their
own color has had the privilege of
eating at the same table with the pres
ident’s family. The southern race
problem can never be settled so long
as men like Mr Roosevelt persists in
adding fuel to the flame.—Atlanta
Journal.

It is probable that some of the nppli
cants who were following the opinion
on the subject rendered by the attorney
general will contest their rights in the
courts.
BRAIN FOOD NON8ENSE-
Another rediculous food fad has been
branded bv the most competent author-
ities. They have dispelled the silly no
tion that one kind of food is needed
for brain, anotheV for muscles, and still
ano'ther for bones. A correct diet will
not only nourish a particular part of
the body, but it will sustain every other
part. Yet, however good your food
may be.its nutriment is destroyed by
Indigestion or dyspepsia. You must
prepare for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular doses of
“It is g.atifying to know that the
southern members of congress who are
criticising President Hoosvelt
for en
tertaining Hooker T Washington at
dinner do not care to permit the public
use of their names. In private they
are condemning the “unprecedented”
action, but a sense of propriety—or of
6hame— prevents them from rustling
Into print with their objections to a
manifestation of courtesy and to ap-
preciation of merit regardless of color
or previous condition. This discretion,
is a tribute to the spirit of the age, to
toleration, fairness and true civi 1 '.ation
Ten years ago the self restraint now
imposed would have been deemed to-
tally unnecessary under similar circurn
stancer.’’ -Chicago Post
There’s Danger Ahead
To the one who buys just any reme-
dy—who fails to protit by experience
the seats and disks. The plucc*, and on-
ly place, the teach* r has for her desk,
since the stove has been put in, neces-
sitates her moving her chair every time
the room door is opened or closed
The only available space afforded the
chart- so indispensable in kindergar-
ten work-is on the door, which must
necessarily be closed, even though It
were batter tor the comfort of the occu
pants, for it to remain open until the
chart recitations are through with
which require a great deal of time, ow
ing to the fact that there is not sufflei
ent room for all to recite (u one class.
During the raius this week, the bellry
leaked so badly that the floor was kept
wot, and at limes was flooded.
While no one individual is to blame
for this deplorable condition it affairs,
they exist,—and if anyone doubts the
statement, remember you have a stand-
ing Invitation to visit the school ut any
time, and can then druw your own con-
clusions -and it is the duty of every
citizen to take steps to remedy the evil.
Those of you who have children in
that room, especially, should interest
yourselves in the matter, ns no teacher
can do justice to a school, hampered in
such a manner, beside the danger in-
curred in taking cold from a wet floor
or other troubles arising through poor
ventilation, which may termihate with
serious results, should he a matter of
greater concern to them than to anyone
else.
A man was heard to remark a few
days ago: “a good school is the life of
a town.” We have a good school but
it could be better
Another man remarked, this week,
of which tiie following is the sub-
stance: “It seems very incoimistant for
a county to expend flttli.OOO for a court
house while her school houses are little
more than makeshifts ”
It should be borne in mind tnat the
trustees can do nothing without the
assistance of the patrons.
