Taft of the Cabinet and Presi
dent-elect the Same.
By JAMES CALLAWAY.
When a few negro bishops and negro
preachers called upon Mr. ltryan during
the recent rumprtlgn to know bis views
us to negro recognition, numbers of
southern people went Into hysteria, and
declared for Taft. Of course, it was a
bluff gnmc on the part of negro polti-
ciung to force the republicans to come
across. They came across. Tho negroes
worked their game well.
This was Illustrated in the recent ad
dress of Judge Taft before the North
Carolina Society, of New York. Judge
Taft exhibited great Impatience about n
'’Solid South." but luid no criticisms for
n solid north, knowing, too. there were
eighteen states north of Mason and Dix
on's line without a single democratic rep
resentative in congress, knowing that
such states as Iowa and Minnesota had
only one democrat In congress, and tlrnt
Pennsylvania, with thirty-four congress
men. hud only five democrats.
Judge Taft was not deceptive. TIo
boldly declared to his lieurers that the
fifteenth amendment would never be re
pealed. nnd that the northern remedy
was to "educate" the negro up to the
demands of cltlxcnahlp; and that the
south. If she would be a part of the
union, must accept the will of the na
tion as regards the civil and political
rights of the negro. Judge Taft. In a
polite way. gave emphasis to the negro
plunk of the recent republican national
convention nnd guve us to understand
that plank was of living force. It is the
same old story.
When Thad Stevens Introduced his bill
In congress to divide the south into live ■
military districts and to turn each south
ern state over to army officers, carpet
baggers nnd former slaves. Mr. Garfield
ed the pussnge of the bill, nnd in his
onet nt the breast of every rebel.”
Judge Taft's proposition- Is still the
ballot; hut. Instead of the bayonet, to
force us by a solid north, .by northern
public opinion, which lie calls the "will

In his recent New York address lie
dwlured tho fifteenth amendment would
not tie repealed. In his July spc<
11)06 he declared: "Two partb*
f«*d-
of tl»e nation." to accept the negro view
of the Republican party—for their Ideus
to lie our ideas, their mongrel civilisation
to lie our civilization. The bavond Is
still at our breast! The gun la not lond-
«*cl with powder and lead, as In 1868, but
with shot that kills ail the.same. Now.
It Is the artillery of a solid north, belch
ing forth acceptance of the amendments
as Interpreted by the' Republican puny,
declaring the south must not remain
solid, as solidarity Is a northern preroga
tive.
The utterances of Judge Taft, ns to
om* coining under the rod and accepting
uorthern views, dispel nil doubt as to bis
atiitude. Taft clubs know now Ills
views. Be has the Ohio and Masoarhu-
petts idea that "the negro is only a
white man In disguise," and that "edu
cation" will change the guise, and re
lieve the leopard of hls spots.
It was given out by republicans and as
sistant republicans during tho campaign
time Judge Taft was ahead of Ids party,
better tlisn Ids party, nnd was In sym
pathy with our efforts to protect southern
civilisation and defend It against politi
cal mongrrllzntlon'and .degradation. But

and mild that no "grandfather clause" or
other device or disfranchisement act
could exclude ultimately the vote of any

end when she lost sh" quit her old
associates and began to devote herself
to strange and odd things, where she
could find Interests upon which she
could possibly encroach nnd she could
walk in paths where she could not pos
slbly meet her old friends.
It was a bitter defeat. Mrs. Hpringer
applied for admittance to the Daugh
ters, and. after a deep Inquiry iftto
her ancestry she was blackballed as
not entitled to membership.
Mrs. Springer then made the fight o
her life. Hho gave out public state

men who'had rebuuffed her. and she
announced also that to her last day sho
would fight the organization and at
tempt to destroy 1t.
In furtherance of this plan she or
ganized a rival body, undertaking the
monumental feat of forming a national
association of revolutioinry dames
that would do battle with the esiab-
l'shed one which had the prestige of
a century of social strlumphs behind
it.
She progressed merrily. She built
up a big Illinois chapter of what she
called the Daughters of the Revolution
(leaving off the "American") and shu
was elected state regent. At open
meetings she voiced In no gentle
measures the opinion of the older
body nnd then
With one awful blow the original
Daughters put her new association out
of business and exposed Mrs. Hpringer
to the unkindly, smiling world.
The president of the Chicago chap
ter calmly gave out half a page of
typewritten matter setting out why
the Daughters had refused to take
Mrs. Hpringer Into their fold. And the
reason was that Instead of being the
daughter of a descendant of *76 she
was the daughter of a milliner on
West Madison street named Ftannlgan
and had worked industriously witli the
needle in her mother's obscure estab
lishment until wealthy Warren
Hpringer fell enamored of her, mar
ried her and raised her to n position
of social eminence which she occupied
"Tac*‘fully because she was by nature
social leader, not a milliner.
Her Back on Society.
Tfcat Is when and why Mrs. Hpringer
turned her pretty back upon soclty
nnd swort that never again would she
tread the threshold of the rich and
the elect.
Here is nn active mind and aim Is an
active woman. Social cares and duties
removed, she had to find something
equally engrossing to take her time, nnd
she found nn endless variety of strange
tilings to do which have brought her no
end of publicity in the light of her form
er soclul position, her wealth und the
events which led to tier turning over n
new page.
First of all she set out to take her Inst
revenge.
The womnn who gave out that half-
page of statement which ruined Mrs.
Springer In society wns Mrs. Julius G.
Coleman. Mrs. Coleman's revolutionary
ancestry was unquestioned. She wns it
wonmn without wealth, hut site had risen
In the ranks of the Duugliters until sho
was a regent.
Doing Dstectlvt Work.
1'pon this woman Mrs. Springer elect
ed to vent her wounded feelings, and alio
found Mrs. Colcmuti vulnerable.
She rluimed tlrnt many yenrs ago—
sonic twenty years or more—Mrs. Cola-
man’s liuslMiid. wlm lo now. nnd was at
tho lima of the event about to bn rela
ted, a practicing attorney In Chicago,
had commited a youthful error which
mused him to lie Imprisoned In a jail at
Evansville, from which he had escaped In
n bout across the Ohio river us guards
from the Jail walls fired upon film.
This wus too good to leave to hired
subordinates. Mrs. Springer derided to
go herself nnd ascertain the facts;.
And to accomplish this entl she dis
guised linrself as a man and went to
Evansville and looked op the old records.
With triumph blazing In her eyes she
returned to Chicago and placed the mat
ter in the hands of her IiiihIit.lid’s at
torney. who ut once took n step which
brought the whole scandal rattling nhout
the ears of Mrs. Coleman and h< r hus
band. He went Imfore the* supreme court
of the state and demanded tltal Coleman

It mutters lltllo that the supreme

to di.shur Coleman and found tliat

Hpringer bad humbled her enemy

Tlu-n Mrs. Hpringer. gracefully stalling
to the re|H*riers. admit ted the whole
thing, said she didn’t cure how much it
shocked her old friends In the dainty
walks of society nnd said she was
through nnd would now devote herself to
the serious tilings of life.
To ts-gln with, she entered the fresh
man class of h medical college und began
the study of medicine. And she applied

Eccentric In Drsss.
In her dress Mrs. Springer Is as eccen
tric aa she Is In everything else. She la
always gowned magnificently. nut she
abjures tho popular fashions. If society
decrees tight sleeves, she wears loose
and flowing opes; If society says the
cloak shall lie short, she wears It long.
