In discussing the fiftieth anniver
sary ^of the Ilepubllcan party recently,
The Telegraph referred to the fact
that that party la dependent for suc
cess upon the black vote and that the
Democratic party contains within Its
ranks a majority of the white voters
of the United flutes. The census fig
ures to support this statement have
now been cited by Mr. Davis, the Dem
ocratic nominee for vice-president. In
the course of a speech delivered hi his
own state he said:
The Republicans, by one act, for politi
cal purposes, gave the black man a vote.
This vote has kept the Republicans In

Incoln. If you eliminate the black vote.

of nothing Jess high and beautiful than
a desire to do abstract Justice, We
could have believed thla at the outset
of Mr. Roosevelt'* career, but no re*
fleeting person can accept such a state
ment now. The assertion that the
president's only motive Is abstract Jus
tice strains credulity beyond the break
ing point. Mr. Roosevelt Is alow to
change n policy even after the evil re
sults of It are manifest, but In thin In
stance he could no doubt be Induced
to pursue a modified course but for
