The Washington Post is as¬ suredly to be regarded as one of the most reliable and authentic daily publications in this country. Anything that appears in its col¬ umns. therefore, may be consid¬ ered as genuine, and that being the case the recent letter from a colored man, Henry S- Baker, may be taken as a simon pure document, and the communica¬ tion unquestionably owes its origin to Mr. Roosevelt’s Four¬ teenth Amendment Plank in the Republican platform and that same gentleman’s black-and-tan policy that he has impressed so conspicuously the country at large. Let the country at large take note of it. The letter referred to is to this ©ff act•: Editor Post; As a colored man I wish to call attention to the difference between the Re¬ publican and the Democratic na¬ tional conventions. At the Re¬ publican convention the colored man was treated as a companion, friend, and brother. There he was made to feel as if he were not only a political, but a social equal. The delegates followed the advice and example of our beloved President Theodore Roosevelt, who teaches that the colored man deserves to be treat¬ ed as a social equal. To empha¬ size this fact he had the courage to have at his table Prof. Booker T. Wasnington. If Roosevelt is elected it will so encourage the colored men that we will demand that Prof. Booker Washington shall be the Republican candi¬ date for Vice-President in 1908. Let not my eclored brethren forget that scene in the Republi¬ can convention when a beauti¬ ful white girl was placed upon the stage, and by her side a ne¬ gro boy. They then placed flags in their hands and allowed them to lead the cheering, tnus making the first and grandest example of the equality of the races that his¬ tory records. In the Democratic convention there was not a single colored man. It was in word and indeed a white man’s convention of a white man’s party. All hail to Roosevelt, who has given the poor negro so much to encourage him to persist in his political and social rights. Henry S. Baker. The Chronicle yields to no one in its kindly feeling toward the negro—in hisr proper sphere. We have written repeatedly in admiration of Booker Washing¬ ton and his work, which is not to teach social equality, but indus¬ trial skill. The spectacular proceeding at Chicago that Baker glories in, and the whole trend of president Roosevelt’s actions and utter¬ ances, as well as the Republican platform’s declaration, have all been based upon the idea of so¬ cial equality. There was no political signifi¬ cance in the mutual flag waving of Jim Blaine Caslun and the lit¬ tle white girl—their fathers, white and black, fully intended to vote the same (Republican) ticket, anyway, whether this dramatic posing of the youngsters had tak¬ en place or not. The applause that greeted the couple could, therefore, have por¬ tended only a hearty approval of the social meeting on an equal plane of the two races. We simply call this fact and Baker’s letter to the attention of Southern readers, as well as those in the North who are not yet pre¬ pared to take the radical step for which President Roosevelt and the Republican party stands. Apropos to the Elk's meeting in Cincinnatti recenty, an ex¬ change quotes this excerpt from the creed of that order which oth¬ ers might adopt with profit and pleasure, both to themselves and to others; “Don’t keep the alabaster boxes of your love and tenderness seal¬ ed up until your friends are dead. Fill their lives with sweetness. Speak approving, cheering words while their hearts can be thrilled and made happier, the kind things you meant to say when they were gone, say before they go. The flowers you meant to send for their coffins, send to brighten and sweeten their homes before they leave them. If my friends have any alabaster boxes laid awav, full of fragrant per¬ fumes of sympathy and affection, which they intend to break over my body, I would rather they would bring them out in my weary, troubled hours and open them that I may be refreshed and cheered while I need them.'’ Suicide Prevented. The startling -announcement that a preventive of suicide had been discovered will interest many. A run down system, or despondency invariably precedes suicide and something has been found that will prevent that con¬ dition which makes suicide likely.
