Birmingham, Ala., Sept.15.—The epublican State executive committee at a meeting here to-day preliminary lo to-morrow’s St onvention ofthat party adopted a resolution excluding all negroe . from the councils of the Re- publican party in Alabama This was emphasized by unseating all colored delegates who had been chosen to to- morrow’s convention, white contest- ants appearing and being seated in each case. A number of leading negro Republicans, including A, D, Wimbs of Greensboro, and Nathan Alexander, of Montgomery, appeared before the committee and bitterly opposed the step which was afterwards taken. They declared that the exclusion of the ne- groes would be punished in other States where the negroes and negro sympa- thizers, and that President Roosevelt himself would call the white leaders to account. The white leaders replied that the | Democrats had taken the ballot from the negro, and since this isa reality the best thing the Republicans can do is to nnioad him also and endeavor to build up a respectable white republi- can party in the South. ae The ma'ter will come up againin the tomorrow’s convention. Alabama, it will be followed North Carolina and the hand of Senator Pritchard is plain ly seen. It will a'so be seen by the negro republicans throughout the country that the removal of those officials who were in the state republican Convention, was not a rebuke by the President, for their part they played in barring the negro from the convention, It will also be seen that Mr. Pritch seen has ard is acting advisedly in the see} cratc ond aet of disfranchising colored republicans. surprised if the entire South is not permeated with the poisonous sting ef Pritchard. Of course negro republicans know their duty and will act at the proper time. There is not a negro representative who has, as yet en tered his protests. Certainly if the Tepublican party can do without the negro, he should do without it. There is no reason for colored republicans to push themselves where they are not wanted. The fact that Senator Pritchard is con tinuing his diabolical ingratitude ani there seems to be no protest from republicin party leaders, the presumption is that he has their approval and imdorsement and hencce the republican party must be held responsible. The Afro-American Council, if there is any, ought to eonsult its league bureau and see if it has a case forthe Supreme Court. Why is there not a protest from that August orzacizition? Why haz not President Fortune said something? He might as well, becanse if he ig waiting fora plum, he wi!l wait in vain. Our Republic.

Newell, Chief Hydrographer of Geological Survey. Author of the Great Scheme of Arid Land Reclamation in the West, Recently indorsed by the Congress, It seems odd that the man who is chiefly responsible for the great scheme of irrigation in the vast arid should have in irri- regions of the west learned his earliest tion in Massachusetts. The man to whom, more than to anyone else, is due the credit for mapping out this great and expen- sive plan of reclamation fs Freder- ick H.

Mr. . Newell's southern wastes interest in this sys- j tem appears to have been transmit- ted to his son and grandson, for the latter, from the time he first set eyes on the original irri ion plant on the old Newell homestead, be- came an enthusiast. By the time he was six, as a re- sult of his boyish studies of the FREDERICK H. NEWELL. (Chief Hycrographer United States Geo- logical Survey.) Newell plant, he had mastered prac- tically every detail of irrigation and could run the plant, with its ditehes and, sluice gates, about as well as his grandfather could. After his education at the rudiments of Needham, Mass. Newell took a course in the Massachusetts Institute of Technol- ogy, after graduation went to Colorado in 1882 to engage in min- ing. Subsequently he entered the geo- logical survey, where he proceeded to make a specialty of irrigation, and no man was more proud and delighted than was he when the last congress indorsed his ideas by mak- ing an appropriation of some $5,000,- 900 or $6,000,000 for the purpose of beginning this great work. A recent statement by Mr. New- ell, in the Boston Globe, concerning his course as a member of the geo- logical survey, contains an ¢ impor- tant lesson for younz men. “When I first entered the service of the geological survey,” said Mr, Newell, “I saw that there was very little chance for any one to forge ahead unless he originated some- tiling altogether new und aside from the general line of work as it was then carried on by the survey. filled by vanced in year who had originated and built up his own particular line of And T determined, therefore, to turn my knowledge of irrigation to account.
