Formerly certain holy men won high esteem
bv becoming hermits. Nowadays the man
who doesn’t advertise is a business hermit.

But he wins no esteem, instead only obliv

some business-getting advertising prepared

OLIVER SA YS NEGRO TROOPS
ARE MENACE TO PEOPLE
Washington, Nov. 20.—Regarding the order of President Roosevelt
discharging negro soldiers composing three companies of the Twenty-fifth
infantry, which order has been temporarily suspended by Secretary of
War Taft. Acting Secretary of War Oliver says;
"The three companies of the Twenty-fifth Infantry were ordered dis
charged because it Is not safe to have them In the army. They cannot be
trusted, and for the protection of the public and the preservation of the
discipline of the army their discharge Is necessary.
"The Idea seems to prevail that the men were ordered discharged be
cause they refused to tell on their companions and because they are
black. Nothing could be further from the truth. These soldi#!* .shot up a
town. All of them refuse to tell anything about the disgraceful affair at
Brownsville, which Resulted fn murder. The companies are shielding mur
derers.
"There are men In the companies who are criminals of the worst
sort. Every effort possible has been inode by the war department to find
the guilty men. but without avail. If these companies were permitted to
remain In the s#price and were to shoot up another town and again en
danger the lives of cltisens. the war department snmld be In an Inde
fensible position. It is Impossible to courtmartial each of the men In
these companies, for a charge cannot be preferred against every one of the
members of the companies. The government has no means of punishing
the crime except by discharging all of the men."

Drew Nude Picture and Is
Nearly Mobbed by
White Men.
When Ed White, a negro student
of art at Morris-Brown negro college,
attempted Monday night to sell the
nude picture of a female which he had
drawn he aroused the Ire of a crowd
of white men about the entrench to tho
gallery of the Bijou theater, In the
alley In the rear of the theater and
came near being mobbed.
The quick action of Bicycle Police-
man Pearson probably saved the negro
from serious yijuty, The officer,
learning there was trouble In the rear
of the theater, rushed Into the alley
and took tho artist Into custody, as
the crowd xvus swarming about him
and threatening vengeance. Even after
the arrest the officer had considerable
difficulty In getting his prisoner away
from the crowd unharmed.
The negro had’ In his possession a
book of drawings of various kinds,
umobg which was one depicting the
nude form of a white woman. The ar
tist was trying to dispose of hi* work
among other negroes In the alley, who
were In the crowd waiting for the gal
lery doors to open at the time the white
men discovered him.
On arraignment before Recorder
Broyles Tuesday morning White was
fined $15.76 and was warned not to
draw any more such pictures. He
promised he would not. Judge Broyles
ordered the picture destroyed.
