Atlanta. Ga?Following arc extracts rrom a letter from President Roosevelt to Clarke Howell, editor of The Constitution. In reply to a request for an exposition concerning a recent letter from Harry Still well Edwards, of Macon, with reference to the matter of Fed era I appointments in the South: "In making appointments I have sought to consider the feelings of the people of each territory so far as I could consistently do so without sacrificing principle. The prime tests I have applied have been those of character. fitness and ability, and when 1 have been dissatisfied with what has been offered In my own party lines I have without hesitation gone to the op posice party?and you are. or course, aware that I have repeatedly done this In your own State of Georgia. "I certainly cannot treat mere color as a bar to holding office any more than I could so treat creed or birthplace?always providing that in other respects the applicant or incumbent is a worthy and well-behaved American citizen. Just as little will I treat It as conferring a right to hold office. I ask you to judge not by what I say. but by what during the last seventeen months I have a> tually done. "In South Carolina I have appointed a white postmaster to succeed a colored postmaster. Again in South Carolina I have nominated a colored man to fill a vacancy in the position of Collector of the Port of Charleston, just as In Georgia I have reappointed the colored man who is now g?rving as colored Collector of the Port of Savannah. Both are fit men. Why the ap poiniment or one snouitt cause anymore excitement than the appointment of the other I am wholly at a loas to Imagine . "Aa I am writing to a man of koen and trained Intelligence. I need hardly say that to connect either of these appointments, or any or all my other appointments or my actions in upholding the law at Indianola with such questions as 'social equality' and 'negro domination,' is as absurd as to connect them with the nebular hypothesis or the theory of atoms. I have consulted freely with your own Senators and Congressmen as to the character and capacity of any appointee in Georgia concerning whom there was question. My party advisers in the State have been Major Hanson, of Macon: Mr. Walter Johnson, of Atlanta?both of Ihnm fnrmcr Pf?nfp<lf?rntA ?nMtpr??and Mr. Harry Stillwell Edward*, also of Macon. A large percentage of the Incumbents of Federal offices in Georgia under me are. as I understand It. of your own political faith. "This is true of your own State, and by applying to Mr. Thome* Nelson Page, of Virginia; to General Basil Duke, of Kentucky: to Mr. George Crawford, of Tennessee; to Mr. John Mclllienny, of Louisiana; to Judg4 Jones, of Alabama, and Mr. Edgar 8. Wilson, of Mississippi, all of them Democrats, and all of them men of the highest standing in their respective communities, you will find that what I have done in Georgia stands not as the exception but as the rule for what I have done throughout the South. I may add that the proportion of colored men among the new appointees is only about one In a hundred. "In view of all these facta I have been surprised and somewhat pained at what seems to me the incomprehensible outcry in the South about my actions?an outcry apparently started in New York for reasons wholly unconnected with the question nominally at Issue. I am concerned at the attitude thus taken by so many of the Southern people, but I am not in the least angry; and at 111 1pm will tills attitude have the effect of making me swerve one hair's breadth to one side or the other from the course I have marked out?the course I have consistently followed in the past and shall consistently follow in the future."

Those who inuginc the/naelvw to b? friend* of whisky are very fond of quoting the fact that whisky in used w an antidote to th? bite of * rattlesnake. Perhaps it is often the best accessible remedy. The most effective remedy in the case of <UI overdose of morphine is a violent tatting. Yet that doe* not make a violent beating attractive in the eye* of .1 *nne man. Certainly erode whisky is a very appro* priate remedy for the bite of s rattle! snake. The two go very well together. ' Both are venomous and deadlr. But for I * ??? - - ?- I A. t i-M j me raiuexnaKP it may .it ior faio I that he gives hi* victim* fair warning. He soundH his rattle, exhibit* his fangi and make* no secret of the fact that he strikes to kill. Whisky works in a a)y, lying way. It lies so successfully that its victim is often deceived to the very laat and. believing himself perfectly safe, take* no precaution to save himself, while everybody else knr>ws that he is done for. The roan bitten by a rattler has no false ideis about the probable result. He knows th-it he is in danger of his life. It is too bad that the man bitten bv the whisky bottle could not get as nrompt and clear an idea of his actual condition. If a man jokingly praises whisky as a beneficent agent because it overcomes the effect of a snake's bite, teil him why the whisky off*ets the rattler's pr.ison.

If you were pursued by a ferocious animal you would lash your honic to it- highest speed, regardless of consequences. But what would become of your horse, how Ions would it laat. if lashed and goaded to high speed every day of it* life? The man who habitually drinlu whiskv, or who drinks occasionally to excess, is lashine his own heart, exhausting his own vitality and drawing on hia own fnture. The American suffers especially from this whisky habit, because he takes his whisky crude, practically undiluted in cocktails or otherwise, and very oftsn 00 an empty stomach?thus sending the alcohol directly into the heart and brain.
