U Business
Hermit
Formerly certain holy men won high esteem
by becoming hermits. Nowadays the man
who doesn’t advertise is a business hermit.
But lie wins no esteem, instead only obliv
ion and failure. Don’t be a hermit. Have
some business-getting advertising prepared
by the Massengale Advertising Agency and
placed in this paper. Thus you can get in
touch with the world again.

OLIVER DECLARES
BLACKS A MENACE
Acting Secretary Defends
Action of the Chief Ex
ecutive of Country.
Washington, Nov. 20.—Secretary of
War Taft has suspended the president’s
order dismissing a battalion of the
Twenty-fifth Infantry* (colored) from
the service without honor. Acting un
der orders from the secretary, who Is
In New Haven, Conn., but who will be
back at hls desk today, Major General
Ainsworth, military secretary, has di
rected that further discharges of. the
Twenty-fifth regiment companies be
suspended, pending further orders.
Protests without number hfive been
received at the department against this
order of dismissal, and the action of
Becretary Taft alforde the president
the opportunity to change hls mind if
he cares to do so. The president was
made aware of the state of feelings
here by a cable Sunday before he left
the Isthmus for Porto Rlcb, but no re
ply has been received..
Taft 8utpenda Order.
Upon hls own responsibility Secre
tary. Taft suspended tho execution of
the order of dismissal.
This battalion of the Twenty-fifth,
Infantry, Composed of Companies B.
C and D, was stationed at Brownsville,
Texas, last summer. In the month of
August some of the men of these com
panies "shot up the town.”
One white man was killed, another
wounded, and the people generally put
In terror. An effort on the part of the
officers, the men and an Inspector sub
sequently sent to Brownsville by the
department to Identify the men who
had done the shooting xvas fruitless.
The feeling against the troops be
came so intense that the government.
In order to prevent any further trouble,
ordered the three companies trans
ferred to Fort Reno, In Oklahoma.
He Heart Many Protests,
Finding that conviction of the cul
prits was Impossible because of the at
titude of the men, the president finally
Issued hls order for the gllatnlsaal of
the entire battalion without honor. This
order was executed In the case of six or
seven men left at Brownevllle In the
guard house when the battalion left,
but has not been executed In the case
of remaining men of the battalion, ag
gregating about 160 men.
Blnce his return to Washington Bee
retury Taft has discovered that this
action of the president has been made
the subject of vigorous protests from
all parts of the country. Saturday he
was visited by Mrs. Mary Church Ter
rell, a member of the district school
board. In her capacity ns a member of
the Constitutional League of New
York, who urged him to suspend tho
order until the representatives of the
league could see the president on hls
return from Panama.
Heeds G. O. P. Criticism.
The most potent of all the protests,
however, seems to hove been that of
the New York Republican Club, which
adopted resolutions condemning the
action of the president as unjust and
demanding that It be rescinded. Pro
tests also have been recolved from min
isters of ihe gospel, condemning the
natron of the president, which, In some
cases, has been characterised as hasty
and tll-advlsed.
These matters were laid before the
president briefly In a cable sent In be-
I’ore he left the Isthmus Sunday, when
he was asked If, In view of all these
circumstances, the order should be car
ried out. No reply has yet been re
ceived.
OLIVER SA YS NEGRO TROOPS
ARE MENACE TO PEOPLE
\ *•
Washington, Nov. 20.—Regarding the ol-der of President Rooeevelt
discharging negro soldiers composing three companies of the Twenty-fifth
Infantry, which order has been., temporarily suspendad 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* tho 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 soldiers shot up a
town. All of them refuse to tell anything about the disgraceful affair at
Brownsville, .whlfch resulted In murder. The companies are shielding mur
derers. .'
"There aro men In the companies who are criminals of the worst
sort. Every effort possible has been made by the war department to find
the guilty men, but without avail. If these companies were permitted to
remain In the service nnd were to shoot up another town And again en
danger the llvey.of citizens, the war department would be In an Inde
fensible position. It la Impossible to courtmartlal each of the men In
these companies, for a charge cannot bo preferred against every one of the
members of the companies. The government has no means of punishing
the crimp 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 Alorris-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 entrance to tho
gallery of the Bijou theater, In the
alley In the rear of the theater and
come near being mobbed.
The quick action of Blcyrle Police
man Pearson probably saved the negro
from serious Injury. The officer,
learning there was trouble In the rear
of the theater, rushed Into the alley
and took the artist Into custody, as
the crowd was swarming about him
and threatening vengeance. Even after
the arrest the officer had considerable
difficulty In getting Ilfs prisoner away
from the crowd unharmed.
The negro had in hls possession a
book of drawings of various kinds,
among whleh was one depicting the
nude form of a white woman. The ar-
tlst was trying to dlsposo of hls work
among other negroes In tho alley, who
were In the crowd waiting for the gal
lery doors to open at ths time tho white
men discovered him.
On arraignment before Recorder,
Broyles Tuesday morning White wus
fined *15,76 and was warned not to
draw any more such pictures. He
promised he would not. Judge Broyles
ordered the picture destroyed.
