STRUGGLE 1 M B , J j IN ST, PETERSBURG Iron Workers Resume—Prepare

to Ballot Sunday for Mixed ,/ Commission, r

St. Petersburg . Feb . 14.—The last visible vestige of the great St. Peters­burg str ike disappeared today, when the employees of the Putiloff ironworks returned. I n all the works ballots are being distr ibuted for the election Sun­day of representat ives in the mixed commission of masters and workmen.

Current rumors of trouble on the hol­iday tomorrow, when, i t has been re­ported, the revolutionaries have planned an armed uprising, seem to be tota l ly without foundation.

The Associated Press has been in­formed,, a t the headquarters of t h e gov­ernor general,- t h a t there is not the slightest apprehension .as t o . a renewal of the disorders. On the: contrary, it. i»-reported t h a t the greatest: confidence prevails t ha t the measures taken will prove sa t is factory ; to the workmen, as the la t ter will be heard regarding the formulating of new laws and the ad­jus tment of existing differences. The political side of the agi tat ion is con-;, •idered no longer a serious' fac tor ' a t present. • • _ . . .

Washington, Feb. 34.—Representative Stevens of Minnesota went before the hotxse appropriation committee this morn­ing to make arc argument in''.favor" of $15,000 for additional land for the For t Snelling extension. The committee did not permit him to talk. The chairman jocularly sent him away, wi th the state­ment tha t if they wanted him they would let him know. This is t aken by Stevens to mean tha t the $15,000 will.be incorporated in the bill.

BAKER WINS DEBATE

New York, Feb . 14.—President Eoose-velt was the guest of the ^Republican club of New York a t a dinner a t the Waldorf-Astoria last night .

There> were seats for 1,400 persons, and every seat was taken. I t is esti­mated t h a t fully 500 were disappointed by being compelled to s tay away on ac­count o f the small acccommbdations, tho the entire second floor was given up to the event.

The president made the address of the evening. H e commenced by quoting the second inaugural speech of Abra­ham Lincoln,, in which he said: " W i t h malice toward none; wi th char i ty for al l ; wi th firmness in the r ight , as God gives us to see the r ight , let us s tr ive on to finish the work we are in ; *.,• * #

to. .do. all,-which .may achieve and cher­ish a just arid last ing peace; among our­selves, and wi th all nations.* ' .

"L inco ln , himself a man of southern b i r t h , " said Mr. Eoosevelt, " d i d not hesi tate to appeal to t h e sword when he became satisfied t h a t in no other way could the union be saved, for high t h o he put peace he put righteousness still higher.

" H e warred for the union; he warred to free the Blave; and when he warred he warred in earnest, for i t is a sigi* of weakness to be half-hearted when blows must be struck.

" B u t he felt only love, a love as deep as the tenderness of his great and sad hear t , for all his countrymen alike in the nor th and in the south, and he longed above everything for the day when they should once more be kn i t to­gether in^the unbreakable bonds of eter­na l f r i endsh ip . "

Tho Negro Problem.

Continuing, Mr. Eoosevelt said: All good Americans who dwell In the^

north must, because they are good Amer-' leans, feel the most earnest friendship for their fellow-countrymen who dwell in the south, a friendship all the greater because It Is in the south that we And In i ts .most acute phase one of the gravest problems before our people: the problem of so deal­ing with, the man of one color as to secure him the rights that no one would grudge him if he were of another color. To. solve this problem it is, of course, necessary to educate him to perform the duties, a fail­ure to perform which will render him a curse to himself and to all around him.

" E q u a l J u s t i c e " a Crying Need. Neither I nor any other man can say

that any given way of approaching that problem will present in our time even an approximately perfect solution, but we can safely say that there can never be. such solution a t all unless we approach it with the effort to da' fair and equal justice among all men; arid to demand from them in return just and fair treatment for others. Our effort should be to secure to each man, whatever his color, equality of opportunity, equality of treatment, before the Tdw. As a people striving to shape; our actions in accordance with the great law of righteousness we cannot -.afford to take par t in or be indifferent to the op­pression or maltreatment of any man. who, against crushing disadvantages, has toy his own industry, energy, self-respect and perseverance struggled upward to a posi­tion which would entitle him to the re­spect of his fellows, if, only his skin were of a different hue.

Problem Requires Time. The problem is so to adjust the rela­

tions between two races of different ethnic, type that the rights of neither be abridged nor jeoparded; that the backward race be trained so that it may enter into the possession of true freedom, while the for­ward race is enabled to preserve un­harmed the high civilization wrought out by its forefathers. The working out of this problem must necessarily be slow; it is not- possible in offhand fashion to obtain or to confer the priceless boons of freedom, industry, efficiency, political capacity and domestic morality. Nor is it only necessary to train the colored man; it is quite as necessary to train the white man, for on his shoulders rests a well-night unparalleled sociological (responsi­bility. It is a problem demanding the best thought, the utmost patience, the most earnest effort, the broadest charity, of the statesman, the student, the philan­thropist; of the leaders of thought in every department of our national life. The church can be, a most important factor in solving it aright. But above all else we need for its successful solution the sober, kindly, steadfast, unselfish performance of duty by the average plain citizen In his everyday dealings with his fellows.

The ideal of elemental justice meted out to every man 1B the ideal we should keep ever before us. I t will be many a long day before we attain to it, and un­less we show not only devotion to it, but also wisdom and self-restraint in the ex­hibition of 1 that devotion, we shall defer the time l o r . its realization still further. In striving to attain to so much of i t as concerns dealing with men of different colors, we must remember two things.

By W . W.'Jefmane. Washington, Feb . 14.—It is absolute­

ly useless to expect reciprocity by trea­t ies which must go to the senate for .con­firmation. Recent experience has been sufficiently, i l luminating. T h e Cuban ease was-so peculiar in i ts condition a s to .furnish, no feal exception.

The senate may be described as a.-body of men alert to minister to the wel-i fare of a group of special interests , usu­ally those of the s ta tes and consti tuent c i e so f t he senators, bu t not necessarily so. I t is the best senator who gets the most for his own people, or interests , i n t he way of ; privileges and advantages, ' patronage and appropriat ions. \\ ; Of ^general welfare • represeirtatiorif there is l i t t le or none. . -Senators ' rush; and push, and struggle for what is of3adi vantage to thei r own section, or- states,-or neighborhood. I n such an atmosphere a reciprocity t r ea ty , as a measure for lessening tariff dut ies , .proves about as effective a;weapon as ^ u l d . a ~ s n o w b a l I in a boiler house. •<-•-•»-- -—

, How the Senate Rules.

I t is an old saying t h a t th is is a repre­senta t ive government. When i t comes to dealing wi th foreign nat ions we cease to have the real machinery of represen­tat ion. The s ta te depar tment may be promptly overridden and made ridicu­lous; t he foreign relations committee of tho senate may be as speedily set aside.

The ent i re n inety senators must bo satisfied, two-thirds of them actually, and nine-tenths of them under the in-: fluence of log-rolling devices. They do not make the t rades w i t h - a n y foreign

{government; no premier of Newfound-and, or finance minister of France , goes

into the senate chamber to t a l k w i t h i ts entire membership in the preparat ion of a t rea ty , and yet t h a t is wha t such a foreigner ought to do ifc-his proposal is to have genuine consideration.- r-..••-,-. .Under the workings 'of:

f ;our : present t r ea ty making machinery, the Hay/Bori'd t r e a ty debate in the senate ran on rail fours. Each senator decided w h a t - h e wanted put in, in the way of advantage, and t a k e off, in the shape, of concession, jus t as if the Uni ted Sta tes senate ^were the whole* story, and- Newfoundland an eleemosynary ins t i tu t ion a t the outer door, which would take whatever we saw fit to give.

W h a t Will Trea ty Do. "• *

I t is in teres t ing to observe the con­flicting claims as to the t r ea ty . The ad­vocates of Canadian recipirpcity; t h i n k i t is a step, in the direction Jif ^heir hobby.; The high tariff advocates? t>h the .other hand, assert t ha t th is is not the.H'c'ase,; and tha t the t r e a ty so carefully guards American interests as to insure the fail­ure of i t s acceptance b y the Newfound­land government.

Commercially, this t r e a t y is not of great importance, for the present, bu t there are indications t h a t wi th in r ten years i t may mean an import, t rade-6f $15,000,000 annually for Newfoundland, of which the Uni ted States, , wi th "this t r ea ty in force, would get the" l ion ' s share. The present exports of New­foundland amount annually to about $10,0000,000, and" t he / impor t s to about $9,000,000 these l a t t e r being divided in a fairly eaual way between the United States , Canada ''and England.

Chairman Jacobson Opposes the Block * Binding Twine Bill. . ; v,&.

J . F . Jacobson of the board of control thinks t h a t the twine plant a t the Still­water prison should Bupply all the bind­ing twine used in the s ta te and for t h a t reason he opposes a bill r equ i r ing ' the twine to be sold at cost, which was c o ^ sidered by the house committee on bind­ing twine yesterday. -, The p lant is not nearly a s large as i t should be, says Mr. Jacobson, and should be allowed a reasonable profit so t h a t i t can be en­larged. As i t is now only the wealthier of the farmers can take advantage of the terms of the prison management; The twine is bought by chlbs and the l i t t le fellow sarte often not admitted, because their notes are not always bank­able. Wi th a larger output so tha t the dealers could get" a full supply which they are required to dispose of a t a net profit of one cent a pound, the small farmers will receive a direct benefit.

Prison twine is sold for from 2 t o 4 cents lower than the other, and aB soon as the supply is exhausted the price on other twine was advanced. The prison plant cleared $80,000 last year, and saved the farmers $210,000 at the low­est computation, besides keeping the price down on competing brands. War­den Wolfer a t tended the hearing.

Newfoundland 's Trade. Newfoundland is a l i t t le smaller t h a n

Pennsylvania, iand i t has a population of 225,000. As. la te as 19Q3, fqur-fifths, of i t s total exports were. , the produ<Jts^ of the fisheries, bu t the country has im­mense resources in lumber and wood pulp, slate, iron, copper and other metals and minerals, and i t is believed t h a t the next few years will br ing about a ma­ter ia l increase in i t s export t rade . This would increase the import t rade , and so i t has been figured by the experts t ha t b y 1910 Newfoundland will probably have an import business worth $15,000,-000 per year.

The t r ea ty gives free entrance into Newfoundland of American agricultural and other.; implements and machinery,

. The Pr ime Requisi te. In the first place, it is true of the col­

ored man, as It is true of the white man, that in the long run his fate must depend far more upon his own effort than upon the efforts of any .-outside friend. Every vicious, venal, or ignorant colored man is an even greater foe to his own race than to the community as a'"whble. The col­ored man's self-respect entitles him to do that share In the political work of the country which is warranted by his indi­vidual ability and integrity and the posi­tion he has won for himself. But the prime requisite of the race is moral and industrial uplifting.

Laziness and shiftlessness, these, and above all, vice and Criminality of every kind, are evils more potent for harm to "the black race than all aets of oppression of white men put together. The colored man who fails to condemn crime in an­other colored man, whp fails to co­operate in all lawful ways in bringing colored criminals to justice, is the worst enemy of his own people, as well as an enemy to all the people. : Law-abiding black men should, for the sake of their race, be foremost in relentless and un­ceasing warfare against law-breakiiig black-men. If the standards of private-morality and industrial efficiency can be raised high enough among the black race, then its future on this continent is se­cure. The stability and purity of the home is vital to the welfare of the black race, as it is to the. welfare of every race.

The Whi t e Ne ighbor ' s Duty . . In the next place the white man, who,

if only he is willing, can help the colored man more t h a n all other.white men put together, is the white man who is his neighbor, north or south. Each of ua must do his whole duty without flinch­ing, and if that duty is national i t must be done in accordance with the principles above laid down. But in endeavoring each to be his brother's keeper it is wise to re~ member: that each can normally do most for the brother who is his immediate neighbor. If we are sincere friends of the negro let us each in his own locality show it by his action therein, and let us each show it also by upholding the hands' of the white man, in whatever locality, who is .striving to do justice to the poor and the helpless, to be a shield to those whose need for such a shield is great.
