Bryan's Commoner win tomorrow say editorially: 'The collector of Internal revenue in Alabama played a conaplcuous part In the exclusion of negro delegates from the republican convention of that state, and Mr. Roosevelt promptly removed him. Many republican newspapers commended the president for the bravery he displayed in removing this federal officer. But It may cot be out of place to remark that for more than a year Mr.

Roosevelt has been in a position to show his friendship for the negro and his devotion to the idea that no person, because of race or color, should be excluded from free anticipation in political action, and yet Mr. Roosevelt has not taken advantage of his opportu "Many negroes have been appointed by republican administrations to office In the south, but no important office In the north has been bestowed upon the black man. Mr. Roosevelt might display a bit of genuine courage and appoint some reputable negro to a poetofflce tn some republican city in the north. Undoubtedly there are many reputable negroes whose services to the republican party entitle them to auch an honor, and doubtless few of these could be persuaded to reject such an "It Is hardly probable that Mr.

Roosevelt' would dare appoint a negro to a poatoffice in any republican community a northern state, and yet why should he hesitate to do so? "Why should he not display genuine courage?"

"The question raised by you and Mr.

in the statements to which I refer is simply whether it to be declared that under no circumstances shall say man of color, no matter how upright and honest, no matter how good a oltlsen, no, matter bow fair in his dealings with all his fellows, be permitted to hold any office under our government. I certainly cannot assume such an attitude, and you must permit me to say that In my View it is an attitude no man, should assume, he looks at it from the standpoint of the true Interest of the wane man of the south or Of the colored man of the south not to speak of any other section of the union. It seems to me that It Is a good thing from every standpoint to let the colored man know that if he mows tn marked degree the. ouallties of good the qualities whicirln a White man we feei are entitled to then he will not be cut off from all hope of similar reward.

It Was Georgia's Bay. It was simply Georgia's day. to win and Auburn was at no time In the contest. The Alabama boys were excelled in every point of the game, and but for individual work on the part of Webb, Smith, and Allison the playing of Auburn would have been far below the standard of tee other teams which have played to Atlanta this Georgia made her twelve points 'on two touchdowns In the first half.

Nash villa November The old gold and black went down in defeat today in one of the moat desperate battles ever seen In the south. Old time football men on the field de clared that they have never before seen two southern teams play up to the standard of today's game. When the referee called the game on account of darkness Davis and Edgerton. who had played their hurt game as amateurs, leaned against the goal posts and wept as If their hearts would break.

Gore, the beautiful American music pupil, the word went the rounds of the studios: "It has happened at last: goodby to American patronage of Paris art" Of course this wss an extreme view to take of the matter, out that It was In a measure warranted Is shown by the large number of telegrams young women students from the United States have received in the last feW days, either summoning them home or warning them to be careful In their choice of acquaintances. In one of the most celebrated nruato studios yesterday several of these telegrams were exhibited by young women pupils who knew Mrs. Gore, and had spoken of her in their letters home. There was a comparing of experiences, and a general feeling that their parents and guardians would no longer consider Paris a fit place for them. Every month or so there Is some sort of tragedy in the student quarter, but the case of Mrs.

Gore Is the first in many years to possess features giving it worldwide celebrity. When an American girt has bean found dead in her garret room, or her body is dragged out of the river, it has usually happened tiatt she was some poor enthusiast without relatives or friends, trusting to luck and" her talent to make her way.

Military Funeral. Appieton, Win, November the famous war dog and mascot who followed company O. of Appleton. all through the Spanish American war, was burled today with full military honors by company and Charles Obaer Spanish War camp. It is doubtful whether the death of any member of the company would have caused the grief experienced by the soldiers over the loss of their mascot, Gee was their friend and counsellor, during the hard campaign He never grumbled at embalmed beef nor swore over hard, marches.

When the boys were homesick he; would listen to their tales of woe and appreciate their sufferings. Gee enjoyed a battle immensely, and was never so happy as when he was in the midst of smoke and active hostilities. At night he was a model sentinel, and was a constant visitor at the bedside of the sick Three days was trotting down the street with the dignity becoming a veteran and savior of his country, a small boy. with a Fiobert rifle, thought him an excellent mark, and killed him.
