WHY WEBSTER DAVIS RESICNED
HIS POSITION.
WILL PLEAD FOR BOERS
Promised the Brave Little Nation
To Present Its Cause to the
People of Our Country.
By Webster Davis. Late Assistant
Secretary of the Interior.)
Washington, D. C My resignation of
the office of assistant secretary of the
interior is simply a matter of con
science and sympathy for the Boers.
Shortly after the close of the last
campaign In Ohio I found myself worn
out with continuous speaking for sev
eral weeks during that campaign, and
my physician told me It was absolutely
necessary for me to take a long sea
voyage.
My old friend and neighbor. Colonel
J. G. Stowe, now I'nited States consul
general at Capetown, Africa, had been
importuning me for two years to visit
South Africa. I concluded the proper
time for me to make such a visit had
arrived.
Not having had any vacation for
three years of my official term, I asked
leave of absence, which was kindly
granted by the president and secretary
of the Interior.
First, I went to Capetown and was
treated very nicely there by my friend
and also by his excellency, Sir Alfred
Milner, governor of Cape Colony, and
other officials, and this, too, when It
was well understood that I was on a
visit simply for health and recreation
and not on any government mission
whatsoever.
HIS VISIT TO THE BOKRS.
After this I went to Iorenzo Marques,
for the purpose of trying to get Into
the South African Republic, as I had
great anxiety to see and hear the Boer
side of the controversy, for I had a
suspicion that their side was not get
ting properly before the public, as it
was well known that all cable lines
were under the control of the British,
and the censor made it absolutely im
possible for the Boers to g.-t anything
favorable to them either over the wires
or through the mails.
At Lorenzo Marques, after a most
cordial reception tendered me volun
tarily by the governor and governor
general of the Portuguese province of
Mozambique, I received a telegram
from Secretary Heltz of the South Af
rican Republic. Inviting me to )e-ome
the guest of the government, and say
ing that President Kruger would send
his private car to take me to Pretoria.
I accepted this hospitality just as 1
had accepted the hospitality of the'
British officials at Capetown and of the
Portuguese officials at Delagoa Bay.
At Pretoria I was given a most hear
ty reception. Secretary Reltz and the
nther government officials met me at
tne station and conducted me to the

BURGHERS MlfiJlDGED.
I spent considerable time In the Or
ange Free State and South African Re
public, saw much of the Boer people,
in the cities, on the farms, in public'
and private life; saw them In laager,
cm the way to the front and on the bat
tle fields, and I soon concluded that no
people In the world had ever been so
badly abused, and so badly misrepre
sented, for a kinder hearted, a more
generous or nobler people cannot b
found anywhere..
Not wishing to embarrass the admin
istration In any way, I have resigned
my office In order that 1 may feel free
to give expression to my views. My
heart bleeds for those poor. unfortunate
liners, who, without money and witti
tmt resources, are making the most
gallant fight for liberty and Justice yet
recorded In the histories ot nations,
and I feel that If 1 were standing ab
solutely alone in America for , men
cause, yet I would do so with c'urage
and firmness. WKBHTJvK rV'IS.

Secretary Davis promised the people
of the Transvaal that he would tell the
people of the Coiled Slates the existing
situation In South Africa, and he pro
poses to tede-m his promise.
When he returned to this city u week
ago he found (hut the administration
mas hopelessly committed to a policy
of non-itnervcntlon. and for that rea
son he, ,is a member of the administra
tion, was debarred from speaking Ins
mind.
Ratlier than break faith with the
people ,,f the Transvaal he determined
to give tip his position in the adminis
tration. The clrvii'tistiinres surrounding the
giving of this promise sre pathetic. Mr.
Davis had heen sr Chi Colony, where
he had se.- the British tnllltMry oper

that the Transvaal lo,,ke4 to this coun

The je,,p,e of i'reioria w.ie Interest
ed in Mr. Davis' visit. They clustered
atKiut bis fetoipiiig place while he was
in the iiy. At the depot, strong,
pianliiif; children, teaiful maidens sor
row ing mother and wives and white
bearde,) oid men. saw him depart.
"Tell the (wople of the I'nited States,
they said, "Jut how ou found us. Just
how we are, whether or not we have
au?e for sorrow, whether or not a sis
ter republic should stand by us. wheth
er or not our land should Is? taken
away from us. and if the little DuU-h
Republic of South Africa should be
effaced from the map. You and your
people gained your freedom from Kng
land when you were British colonists.
Surely we should not be absorbed by
that monarchy when we huve our in
dependence." The train was about to depart. Mr.
favis. deeply touched, desired to es
cape from the weeping and clamoring
crowd. '1 he palsied hands seized his
coat In feeble remonstrance. Tear
stained feminine faces looked beseech
ingly Into his.
TEARS WON THIS CHAMPION.
"Promise us that you will tell the
I'nited States that we should be sav
ed," piped the treble voice of an octo
genarian. Davis looked at the crowd, practical
ly everything that was left n Pretoria
except the home guard, which war. i n
sentry duty in the outskirts. Thei
were grandfathers, mothers, sisters and
brothers begging him for at least his
voice and his influence in behalf ol
their homes and such of th-ir mcu lie
might return to them.
Mr. Davis promised.
To redeem this promise h must lost
his place as assistant s-cr.laiy of th
interior.
'It is a matter of svmpa'.hv on mv
part." said Mr. Dav is.
"In South Africa I visited both ar
mies. I ma- mui-h of the 'British and 1
saw much of the lJ-ers. I concluded
that the cause of the Boers was Just,
and that when the two smallest repub
lics In the world are struggling anainst
the greatest empire in the world for
Justic e and Independenc e, it it us at least
my part to speak my mind.
"All the Boers, including men, wo
men and children. d not constitute a
greater population than that of the
city of Washington. These Leave and
simple people have the courage to
make the greatest light in history
against an empire of four hundred mil
lions. Surely, I should have courage
enough to expres my opinion.
"My sympathies ar with these peo
ple, and 1 believe that the American
people should sympathize with thern. I
think we should do anything and ev
erything within our power to let Great
Britain and the world know that the
American people in sympathy are not
with the British, but with ih Koers.
Ue snould l.t the world know that in
our Judgment, such an unholy war
should stop, and slop quickly.
"TI1K1U C.U'SB WAS iiXc'l-; OI'US."
"As sons of our foiefatheis who
fought British tyrannv and i-ti hlieh-l
religious and civil liberty in the west
ern hemisphere, we are !iioi,illy bound
to support the Boers, They are rl:tit
ing for what we fought and they aie
dying for the same prim Iples for which
many Americans have uivd. and for
which every true American Is willing
to sacrifice his life.
"As assistant secretary of the Ji
ior 1 eoul dnot embarrass this g
ment by talking as 1 felt. That
reason for resigning. 1 will In a. die
address, try to make the m r!. an
people acquainted with the truth as I
know it and as they should know it.
it is my duty my moral duty tc do
so,
"A gross injustice is being perpetrat
ed on our own people, and they are be ing
misrepresented before the whole
world. Aside from the question of, lib
erty, which Is sac-red and dear to .'ill
of us, the humanitarian principle In
vovlved is almost of equal importance.
It is incumbent on the I'nited Sim-
to remonstrate in this case Just us it
did with Spain when at war witn th
struggling Cubans.
"We do not get the truth from South
Africa. The Knglish oi resmdei,t
are enabled to get their dispatches over
the lines, because the lines are con
trolled absolutely by the Knglish, but
the American people never hear th
lie.er side of the war.
"If I did not keep the promise I made
tci those suffering people, as brave and
as noble as God ev er made in an land,
my conscience would bum jend they
would haunt me us long us I lived.
"Their cause Is Just. God is theii
trust, and In the light of Uie past his
tory of the American people, who went
through the same heart -breaking strua
gle. 1 believe the Boets will win."

that however much evil they may have
