THE WAYCROSS WEEKLY HERALD A NEGRO WRITER ON ROOSEVELT A rcnoently published book that la attracting much comment in the North la that by Kelly Miller, a no- gro, thinker along original llnee. Hie fattest rolnme, a ecore of eiaaya un der tb/s title of "Race Adjustment," preaenta aomo flews of*public men of the present and the past far dif ferent from the ordinary expressions of educated negroea. Toll author la somewhat Inclined to be an Inoonoclaat At least he does not tee! impelled to bow submissively at the throne of every pet of other leaders of his race. He ventures to express his own thoughts In a very Striking way. His characterization of Douglass and Booker Washington (a an Instance of this. In the course of a striking comparison of the traits of the two men he declares that "Doug lass spoke what he thought the worlJ should hear; Washington speaks only what ho feels It Is disposed to listen to. Douglass's conduct was actuated by principle; Washington's by pru dence.*’ Concerning President noose- -vdt he has such passages as this, t unimarlsing the views of many thou sands of thinking white men as well as of the negro thinkers who aro not leaJ in mental subserviency as wi ll as political bondage: With him puro reasoning Is a but- den and disquisitional niceties a wear iness of flesh. He has dlagonlsod the case, pros* cribed the romedy and cured, or kill ed, the patient before the ordinary physician baa finished feeling the pulse. He dramatizes the Ten Command- monte and vitalizes time-worn Max ima as if they were fresh pronounce ments to arouse the energies of a leth argic world. Ha Is a man of Instantaneous Im pulses and Is unhampered by the te dium of logical cohoroncn. The ne gro Is by no means the only alternate tioncflclary and victim of his Impul sive caprice. Roosevelt never surrenders, but of- tru seems to cvacuata his stronghold as soon as ho has demonstrated tho enemy's Inability to capture It. The plea to which Miller lends him- «(Jr on behalf^of the negro, Is gen erally, that his self-respect and manly vpportnntty bo encouraged.

WHEN A PRESIDENT LIE8. It Is probable that hereafter not even the fact that a man la president of the United States will save him from being given the lie direct should there develop such provocations as haa frequently existed since Theodore Roosevelt assumed the highest public office on oarfa. He haa broken down the last barrier that would have pro tected our presidents, just as It first protected him, and there will In the future be no "lese masjeste.’’ When a president lies, he will prob ably be told so in plain United States, provided the offended party Is pos sessed of the requisite amount of spunk.—Albany Herald. Tho South Is pretty well posted about everything else. She should now go to work and learn the money makers and money savers trade. Mr. Taft will stop over In Atlanta on his visit to Augusta. Better lock his heart up or t’ncm fellows In At lanta will steal It.—Darien Gazette. Our devil suggests that he had bet ter keep his bipper on his pocket oook. * The verdict In the Mitchell case tried at Thomasvllle last week, meets wit'a general approval, but there still an unsolved mystery amout the case the public had hoped would be cleared up at the trial. It la hardly probable that the whole truth will ever comjo to light—even If Mitchell haa to serve out tho sentence.—Quit- man Advertiser. If the Mltchell-Llnton episode wasn’t a Joke It was a devilish piece of busl- noes, and It came very near being that anyway. 1 A writer In the Boston Herald re calls a remarkable prophecy made by Wendall Phillips In July 1266. In ad dressing a collection of school child ren in Music hall, he made use of the following language: "Now, boys, do not Imitate ns. Be better than we are or there will be a great many cracks. We have Invented a telegraph, but what of that? I expect, it I live forty yeara, to see a telegraph that will send messages wlthou t wire both ways at tho same time.” THE LANDSLIDE.
