The New York Times, in discussing the matter of the appointment of the colored man Crum to the collcctorainp at Charleston, lias this to say : Reason and the teachings of experi ence stand opposed to the theories by which President Roosevelt attempts to justify his appointment of a colored man as Collector of the |>ortof Charles ton. Manifestly it cannot be for the good of the customs service that the office of Collector at that port should be held by a man whose appointment is distasteful and offensive to nincty-nine- hundredths of the persons having busi ness to do at the custom house. It is equally manifest that there is no ad vantage for the administration or the government in an act that embitters an entire community against the Presi dent. Plainest and clearest of all, the colored race, either individually or as a whole,has nothing to gain by obstinate persistence in a policy which intensifies race feeling and confirms the resolve of the whites of the South to re***st bj every means in their power the poui.- cal advancement of the ! lacks The Pres dent ■•ogiu d.sregard all these things, he in.gut, take tiic r> 55*v cliiti incur the inconvenience of bitter feel ing and intensified race prejudice, if only he vtere convinced that by contin uing the policy of appointing blacks to office, little by little prejudice would wear away, opposition diminish, and a time at length come when the appoint ment of a black man in South Carolina would attract no more attention than it would in Massachusetts. He might furthermore feel that the policy was justified if it was really helpful to the colored people, if through political rec ognition they were elevated mentally, morally, and as men, and were making visible progress toward better citizen ship. That is his theory, but the facts of forty years’ experience confute it. He is trying by the use of the power of appointment to efface the distinction between the whites of the South and a race w-hich they universally regard as inferior. In this attempt the adminis tration is dashing its head against a granite wall. STARTLING BUT TRUE. “If every one knew what a grand medicine Dr. King’s New Life Pills is,” writes D. H.
