TRE ADVOCA WE CHEERFULLY PUBLISH ALL CRISP NEWS NOTES FROM ALL SECTIONS. VOLUME XI. Sen. Scott's Declaration THAT HE WILL NOT BE A CANDIDATE INTENDED TO BRING HARMONY Favors Judge Goff As Man for Senator from this State to Succeed Watson, but the Judge Has not Yet Committed Himself—State to Have a Congressman at Large. --- Nathan Bay Scott, former United States Senator, will not again be a candidate for the Senate. Neither has he any ambition to be the Re-Publican candidate for Governor in 1912. Honored by his party with two terms in the United States Senate, the old veteran announced this week that he had had enough and was willing to make the fight from the ranks says The Enquirer. At the same time when Senator Scott publicly proclaimed that he had no ambition to go to the Senate again he announced his preference for Judge Nathan Goff, of Clarksburg, for that position, stating that in his judgment the Federal jurist was the best candidate upon whom the Republicans could unite and that he hoped to see the former leader again step into the breach and make an aggressive campaign. Judge Goff, according to the opinion expressed by the former United States Senator, would eliminate the factional rows in the Republican party and would draw every Republican in the state into line. As for the Governorship, Senator Scott stated his ambition did not tend in that direction. He advised his Republican brethren not to commit themselves too early on the gubernatorial plum, for it would mean a hard fight for the nomination and he predicted that the nominee would have a hard task ahead of him. Commenting upon the national situation Senator Scott argued that President Taft, by reason of his vigorous attitude in the closing days of Congress, had rallied his friends and had drawn the business interests of the country to his support. A drastic tariff reduction, Senator Scott contends, would mean disaster to business and especially to the industries of West Virginia. Admitting there may be abuse of the tariff the former Senator is insistent that the protective tariff must not be wholly destroyed The Republican leaders generally regard the announcement of Senator Scott that he would not again be a candidate for the United States Senate as a step toward harmony. The acrimonious conflict last year between the Scott and Hubbard forces is ended by this announcement and will not be renewed this year. The statement of Scott is taken to mean that Judge Goff will have no opposition for the United States Senate if he will become a candidate, as former Senator Davis Elkins, who early in the year had under way a rather formidable organization in the northern section of the state, announced some time ago that he was for Judge Goff if the Clarksburg jurist could be induced to make the race. Publicly Judge Goff has refrained from committing himself. He returned to his native State last week from abroad. According to private advice he has told some of his personal friends that he would be a candidate. President Taft is one of those whom it is claimed insisted that Judge Goff should make the race. Pocahontas County, down on the southeast border of the state, is the first of the 55 West Virginia counties to hold a convention, and it has taken the lead with a declaration for the renomination of President Taft. The Republican's of that county assembled this week for the purpose of effecting a reorganization of the party machinery. A new county committee was chosen and the ship put in trim for the 1912 campaign. After indorsing the national and state administrations, the resolutions specifically demand the resignation of all the state and federal office holders on the Republican State Central Committee, and further ask that such a rule be adopted as will not permit the election of officeholders on the State Committee. The Pocahontas Republicans also indorsed the direct primary plan for the nomination of candidates for state offices and the election of delegates to the next state convention. West Virginia, having been presented with a new Congressman by the reapportionment bill passed at the extra session of the Federal Congress, will have two additional delegates at the Republican and Democratic National Conventions held next year. As the last session of the State Legislature did not redistrict the state the election of the two additional delegates THE gates to the national convention is a problem for the party committees, and it is very probably that instead of four delegates-at-large being sent to these conventions the number will be increased to six. The Republican State Committee, meeting next month, will take up this question and provide for the election of two additional delegates. The Democratic State Committee has not indicated that a meeting will be held in the near future. Senator William E. Chilton is not bothering about another term in the United States Senate. That is what he told a mammoth gathering of the toilers at Charleston on Labor Day. That he had a set project for the present term, which he hoped to see accomplished before the six years rolled around, he admitted. It is to enlist the Federal Government in the undertaking of constructing a national highway from the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln in old Kentucky, through West Virginia, to the capital at Washington. Frequently there have been suggestions of the construction of monuments and highways to the memory of the gigantic figure of 60 years ago, but the suggestion of the West Virginia Senator is an original one and he is inclined to believe that the Federal Congress will approve of the plan. Senator Chilton believes that it would not only be a monument to the memory of the martyred President, but would be of material benefit to West Virginia and Kentucky. Some eminent statesmen have their eyes turned toward the Fifth Congressional District, the sole West Virginia district having a Republican representative at Washington for there be many who believe that James Anthony Hughes, not so vigorous physically as he was a few years ago, may not again be a candidate for Congress. Naturally, Abraham Armistead Lilly, of Raleigh County, who trotted a dead heat with Hughes in the primaries a year ago, is anxious to be the successor of the Huntington man. Lilly is a scraper and a power on the stump. Then over in McDowell county Circuit Clerk Burbridge Payne will get into the fight if Dr. H. D. Hatfield finally refuses to become a candidate and Dr. Hatfield is not enamored of the job. Likely the contest will be between Lilly and Payne, with the possibility of a live Indian in the person of the United States Marshal. Frank Tyree, of Huntington, jumping into the fray if there is any likelihood of a serious disagreement between the Raleigh and McDowell candidates. LEWIS AND COBR. Visit Wilmington. — Presbyterian Pastor Resigns to Accept Call at Chicago. Wilmington, Del., September 13. Rev. C. L. Jefferson, who has been pastor of the Gilbert Presbyterian Church for the past eighteen years has accepted a call to the Hope Presbyterian Church, Chicago. He is an alumnus of Lincoln University. Dr. Conwell Banton has recovered from a month's illness. William H. Lewis, Assistant Attorney General of the United States, and James A. Cobb, of Washington, arrived in the city Monday. Governor Desired Action on Lynching PENNSYLVANIA EXECUTIVE INSTRUCTIONS ATTORNEY GENERAL TO BRING THE COATSVILLE MOB MEMBERS TO JUSTICE. Philadelphia, Sept. 12—Governor John K. Tener held a conference at the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel today with Attorney General John C. Bell regarding the Coatesville lynching. When asked the reason of the Governor's visit to the city Mr. Bell said: "The Governor wants every power of this Commonwealth employed to bring the perpetrators of the Coatesville outrage to justice at once, and I will carry out his instructions." He did not express any opinion that the county will "lie down," but did remark with emphata that the State is going to sift the affair thoroughly, regardless of time and money. Harrisburg, Sept. 12—Deputy Attorney General J. E. B. Cunningham, who is representing the Attorney General's department in the inpuiry into the Coatesville lynching, issued a statement today in which he said: "The whole Commonwealth has a right to be proud of the courts and the District Attorney of Chester Co." Mr. Cunningham says the attitude of District Attorney Gawthrop and Judge Butler is beyond Gawthrop and they have done their duty nobly. Whatever obstacle has been thrown in the way of the investigation have come, he says, from other citizens of Chester County. CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET Chicago, Sept. 11. —Wheat closed at 92 1-4, corn 66 5-8, oats 43 5-8. --- Pirates Defeated By a colored club CORSAIRS RUN UP AGAINST A SNAG IN WEST BADEN CLUB OF WAITERS, COOKS AND BELL BOYS WHO KNOW THE GAME. West Baden, Ind., Sept. 11—Thirty-four million and seventy-six glooms are parading the atrium of the West Baden Springs Hotel tonight. Cause: Pitsburg Pirate Yanigans 1; West Baden Sprudels 2! The Sprudels are Negroes employed at the hotel. Some of them are waiters, some cooks; there is a porter or two, and maybe a bellboy. They don't often get a chance to go against a big league team—a team that is bidding for a National League penant—so today they put in their best licks and copped. The shock was terrific! The best shock-absorber on the market would have been found unavailing, even had the fellows possessed a gross of them, Satisfied that they were going against a set of "marks," the Yanigans entered the array smiling—smiling over what they were going to do to the Sprudels. The ebony giant sent to the kopje by the hotel employes is known as Dismukes. He had speed to give away; also a varied assortment of curves. Time after time the Corsairs swung with all their might only to find the elusive pill wasn't where they thought it was. Inning after Inning passed and still the foxy Mr. Dismukes refused to be chased Then the situation grew serious. The large crowd which gathered on the ball grounds began poking fun at the major leaguers and the latter became desperate—all to no purpose. Hank Gardner, the Pacific Coast blacksmith, performed for the Pirates. He pitched good ball, too, but in view of the fact his pals couldn't hit behind him his efforts went for naught. The score: Sprudels .....0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 *—2 Pittsburg .....0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0—1 Batteries—Sprudels, Dismukes and Watts; Pittsburg, Gardner and Simon.

Alexandria, La., September 12. As the result of the wounding of two Negroes by a posse hunting for a black who killed W. W. Ellis, a college student, Sunday night, and general threats against the Negroes, many of that race are leaving this section of the country. Since the killing of Ellis a large number of men, heavily armed, have been scouring the country for the murderer, and the result of their efforts, though neither is suspected of killing Ellis. One of the blacks was shot through the arm and the other has a wound in his leg. It is said there was no provocation for the killing of Ellis, who was shot down in the streets. It is certain if the murderer is caught he will be summarily dealt with. --- ADVOCATE. Simons Leaves The New York Age WILL GO SOUTH TO TACKLE A NEW VENTURE IN JOURNALISM. — DELEGATE TO RACES CONGRESS IS TENDERED A RECEPTION. Roscoe Conkling Simmons has resigned his position as an editorial writer on The Age. He expects to go South to tackle a new venture, in journalism.

In Cleveland Canned by South Carolina Governor for Shouting "Gangway." Cleveland, Ohio, September 12. Governor Cole J. Blease, of South Carolina, who is willing to succeed Senator Tillman in the Senate if that gentleman is ready to quit, is attending the National Convention of the Independent Order of Railway Mechanics here. The Governor was at the Hollenden Hotel with a number of other distinguished men when a Negro bell boy attempted to push his way through the crowd. The boy yelled "Gangway." Mr. Blease raised hbs cane and delivered a husky swat on the bell boy's back and then made a grab for him to chastise him some more. "Down South, sah, they hang 'om for insulting white people in that way," explained the irate Governor. SALVATION ARMY LEADER London, Sept. 14.—"General" William Booth was the central figure at a great public reception given in London today to mark the termination of his evangelistic tour of the United Kingdom. The tour was made in a motor car and occupied twenty-six days. Notwithstanding his eighty-two years the venerable founder and head of the Salvation Army is looking forward with eager interest to his coming visit to America. Detroit, Mich., Sept. 14.—The National Association of Probate Judges convened in annual session in this city today to discuss a wide variety of subjects pertaining to the work of the probate courts and the duties of the presiding judges. The officers in charge of the meeting are: President, J. O. Talmadge, of Catskill, N. Y.; vice president, Frank B. Ross, of Indianapolis; secretary, Frank H. Williams, Allegan, Mich. Passing of the Negro Jockey. Colored Rider is as Rare on the Race Tracks of To-Day as is a Gray Horse. The death, in impoverished circumstances, of "Soup" Perkins at the Hamilton (Ont.) Jockey Club courts recently emphasizes the practical extinction of the Negro as a race rider. Three decades ago the Negro was in his zenith as a jockey. At that time the majority of owners of thoroughbred horses were in the South, and the Negro was the natural attendant of the horses. Gradually, with the coming of the sport to the North, the Negro jockey lost his ascendance. The white boy became the preferred one, and today a colored race rider is as rare on the tracks as is a great horse. Of the great Negro jockeys Isaac Murphy was the peer in conduct and in judgment of any white rider. "Lonny" Clayton and his brother both were well behaved, well dressed and competent jockeys. "Pike," Barnes rode himself into the list of immortals by winning the first Futurity with Proctor Knott, beating the great Salvator; While Simms achieved success both in this country and in England: then there were "Coley" Stone and Tony Hamilton, "Soup" Perkins, who later made his debut in the East with Henry of Navarre, and Joe Harris, who was the star rider in California in 1907. The majority of these riders are dead. The others are poor. Those who are not dead have passed away from the turf. Isaac Murphy the dean and the idol of the black race, as he was the pride of all horsemen, died in Louisville practically penniless. He was crushed by the accusation that he was drunk when Tea Tray in the midsummer of 1890 defeated the great Firenze. He was suspended for 30 days by the stewards of the meeting—a most inadequate sentence if he was intoxicated and an unjust verdict, if he had been drugged, as was generally understood. Perhaps the association did not care to have its great new park saddled with what promised to be the gravest scandal on the American turf. ! That practically ended the turf career of Murphy. He was tubercular, and in addition developed stomach trouble from his efforts to keep down to weight. This latter alliment was added to by his fondness for champagne. It was, he contended, the only liquor he could take that would strengthen without fattening him, often said his champagne bills were equal to all his other living expenses, and he lived well. He spent about $12,000 a year for 10 years, for he had a number of camp followers. "Pike" Barnes for a time promised to maintain a high place in the jockey ranks, but a foundness for night life dulled his judgment. An accident, too, brought on a timidity that he could not seem to be able to shake off. He was riding in Chicago in a race in which a boy named Abbas fell. "Pike's" horse strode on the boy and literally crushed the life out of him. Barnes's nerve was gone forever after. He rode one or two good races subsequently—notably his victory on Tenny in the Brooklyn Handicap—but practically his career ended with the accident. It was said he could not be induced to sleep in the night time, sitting up until daylight, then to fall asleep until it would be time for him to go to the races. Of course, such life meant ruin. Barnes had the good sense not to dally about the tracks and become a wreck. He took with him what was left of his savings and started a saloon in Chicago. He lasted only half dozen seasons. None of his race has since attained the eminence he achieved. Some may question this latter statement and point to Willie Simms, but Simms was a consistent jockey rather than a sensational one. He earned large fees when he rode for Michael F. Dwyer and Richard Croker. But money seemed to flow from him. He had at one time or it was so reported, a bank account of generous proportions and some land on Ocean Parkway, Brooklyn, but it has gone. The trip which he took to England in the ill-starred Dwyer and Croker invasion of 1895, it was said, was responsible for the bulk of his losses, and it probably was. He aad Mr. Dwyer, it was believed, "stood a tap" on Harry Reed in the Stewards' Cup when that fast horse was left at the post. Be that as it may, Simms has passed from the saddle and has ta' with him nothing of the fortune t once was his. Tony Hamilton was another of the great black riders. Friends rescued his body from a pauper's grave and gave it decent burial. He must have earned at least $100,000 in 10 years. He had no particularly large vices, but he never had the slightest appreciation of the value of money. He was without education, and, except when in the saddle, was perhaps the most stupid and uninteresting person that ever passed through the gate of a race course. He could neither read nor write, and it was difficult to understand what he said. No trainer ever was certain Tony understood what was said to him. He was, however, a natural horseman, alent at the post, a fair judge of pace and a powerful finisher. Most jockeys nave a habit of talking to their mounts when on the way to the post but Hamilton kept on a constant kind of gibber that was always a source of amusement. Most of the money he earned he gave away. He had a sort of mushroom growth, springing in a short time from an undersized exercise boy with a cot in a stall to where he could earn hundreds of dollars in a day. Perhaps it is little wonder, under the circumstances, that he didn't appreciate money's value. Champagne and diamonds were his weaknesses. The $1,000 diamond that he would wear today would be the property of his valet or his favorite tomorow. A "bank roll" to him was merely a bank roll. It might be of $1 notes or of $50 or of $100 notes. It was good just, for so long as it lasted. If it were of $1 notes it probably lasted him as long as would one composed entirely $100 notes. It was pathetic at times to see the way in which the black boy was parting with his money, but he apparently did not realize it and it was not until his money was all gone and necessity for bread and shelter and medicine passed him that it came to him how valuable a little saving might have been. The Claytons—Lonny particularly—lasted perhaps better than any of the other boys riding, for the reason that they took good care of themselves, but the white boys, outstripped them, and they had sense enough to retire while they still had some of the money they had earned. One of their contemporaries was Thompson, who rode many a "good thing" for Jack McDonald and the coterie of smart horsemen who made money in the days of Clifton and of Gutenburg. He was a strong finisher, but his career was short. He could not stand the climate or the reducing necessary, and passed away, with no one of his color at these tracks to succeed him, if Harry Jones be excepted. But Jones lacked brain. He was just as illiterate as Hamilton, and his season was a brief one. He was not treated generously, and he became sour and heavy, and finally met a deserved discipline for some suspicious work. He had no ambition afterward, and drifted into the submerged. Penn shone for a time with the stable of A. H. & D. H. Morris, but he rapidly went the way of the others. Joe Harris, who was better known in the West than in the East, having ridden for Richard F. Carman in the season of 1907, when he was the premier jockey at Ascot Park, was the best of the late colored riders. He was killed In Texas two years ago. He called on a young woman in his native town and took her for a drive. A rival warned him not to do it again. He not only did not heed the warning, but went to the stable where his rival kept a horse, told the livermans he had been sent for the horse, got it, took the woman out and, after returning her to her home, took the horse back to the stable. The rival with an automatic pistol killed him before Harris could reach for his gun. FREE METHODISTS IN CONFERENCE Plymouth, Ia., Sept. 14.—The northern Iowa and southern Minnesota conference of the Free Methodist Church began its annual meeting here today with Bishop Wilson T. Hogue, of Evanston, Ill., presiding. The sessions of the conference will continue through an entire week. NATHAN STRAUS AT Berlin, Sept. 11.—Nathan Straus, of New York, whose work in establishing and maintaining pasteurized milk depots for the benefit of the poor of the large cities has placed him in the front rank of practical philanthropists, is in Berlin as the official representative of the United States at the third International Congress for the Protection of Infants. The congress, which had its formal opening today, is attended by delegates from many countries. The sessions will continue an entire week and will be devoted to the consideration of the problem of infant feeding in all its phases. THE ADVOCATE ADVERTISMENTS FLAGRED IN OUR COLUMNS BRING RESULTS. TRY IT. Reformers' Expenses WILL BE REDUCED TWENTY SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS YEAR BY NEW REGIME. Creditors Hold Off And Payment of Death Claims will be Begun Shortly if Members Rally and Keep up their Class Dues, as Requested by Officials. Richmond, Va. Sept. 9—The new management of the Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers is about as hopeful a lot of officials as have been seen in this city for a long time says the current Richmond Planet. Around there on Second street the look of dejection which has been in evidence for so long a time is gone. The cause of this condition of affairs is due to the fact that the Bureau of Insurance of this State seems determined to give the present officials a fair trial and to see if they can improve upon existing conditions. It is also evident, too, that the large attendance at the recent session of the Grand Fountain has given additional cause for hope. The creditors are holding off so to speak, realizing that to attempt to force payments at this time would cause a collapse of the whole superstructure, with the result that no one would get any money upon any of the claims. A campaign is being inaugurated in various sections of the country, and the North Carolina problem is being subjected to treatment. There is a general demand for Grand Worthy Master W. R. Griffin, and it is evident that that "anger" face and that pleading convincing voice will be in evidence in many parts of the country. Mr. Griffin is now where those whom he has criticized have been. He must carry out the promises made and he has certainly started about doing it. It is announced by him and his associates that the expenses of the Grand Fountain have been reduced to the amount of $2,250.00 per month, or $27,000.00 per year. The payment of death claims will begin shortly. Pledges from all over the field are coming in, and the money is steadily increasing. Grand Worthy Master W. R. Griffin spoke at Newport News, Va., last Thursday night, and at Washington, D. C., last night. He will speak at Roxonoke next Monday night, and at Lynchburg next Tuesday night. The officials are asking all members to remain loyal, pay up class dues promptly and do all they can to promote the welfare of the Order. They declare that they will soon maintain the excellent record made under the leadership of the lamented chieftain, and founder, Rev. Wm. W. Browne. The management declares that but a short time will be needed to demonstrate the capabilities of those in charge. The suits against those deemed responsible for the loss of much money to the Order have not as yet been instituted. It begins to look that a special fund will be required for this purpose in order to secure the proper legal asistance in this matter. Attorney J. Thomas Newsome is being kept very busy, much to his embarrassment, due to the stagnation of his practice in his home city. Still, he is struggling on. REAL STAR-SPANGLED BANNER Baltimore, Md., Sept. 12. Old Defenders' Day, the anniversary of the battle of North Point, where the Marylanders made a successful resistance to the British invasion in 1814, was observed as a legal holiday in Baltimore today in accordance with custom. It was the battle of North Point that inspired Francis Scott Key to write "The Star Spangled Fanner," and one of the interesting features in connection with today's celebration was the unfurling of the original flag that inspired Key to write the national hymn over the ramparts of historic Fort McHenry. Chicago, IL., Sept. 14.—Chicago will next week throw open her gates to the world's college of cities and representatives of the larger cities of the world will gather here to teach the citizens of the smaller towns the art of municipal administration. The occasion will be the International Municipal Congress and Exposition, plans for which have been going forward for nearly a year. Delegations from cities throughout the world are assured. Among the notable speakers at the congress will be Ambassadore Bryce, Governor Dix of New York and Senator La Follette of Wisconsin. CORRESPONDENCE PAGE TWO BUCKHANNON.

IMPRESSIONS LEFT BY VIRGINIA DRAMA One of those gripping tragedies in which life as it really is makes its stagecraft counterfeit seem impotent and pale has reached a culmination. Under the eager scrutiny of an avid public the crimson record has unfolded to the final page. It has focalized national interest to the exclusion of those resounding issues which the moot court of statesman ship calls paramount. It has caught the eye and kindled the imagination and stirred the heart after that eternal fashion with which blood has appealed to blood since Cain, with the mark of murder on his brow, took sanctuary in the land of Nod. It would be hasty to call this a morbid interest. These human documents, these transcripts from life itself, are part and parcel of those soothing activities which make up the sum of human experience. The man in the street who would take but a langud glance at the work of Terence still translates into his daily life and thought the pulsing Roman's worthy boast: "I am a man; and nothing which concerns humanity can fall to concern me." It is from these compelling tragedies, written large in the daily report—it is from the bubbling cauldrons in which have just been melted smiles and tears, crime and punishment, virtue and shame—that a residium stands forth for the profit of mankind. Where sermons with their obvious moral tag fall trite and ineffectual, events like these which penetrate every cranny of the social structure carry with them a lesson so intimately interwoven with their very texture that it sinks insenably into the mind and heart. Even the daily night shade has its perfume To the normal mind it is well nigh inconceivable that a young man to the full enjoyment of health and worldly competency, with a wife and child as hostages to fortune, should coldly and cruelly break into the bloody house of life, violate the sacred instincts which the beasts of the field hold dear, and, expfating his wanton blood lust, Leave a name at which the world turns pale, To point a moral or adorn a tale. And yet the very beginnings of society are but the safeguards in which man takes refuge from his brother, and the hearthstone has been stained with every crime. In the case at bar the body of the crime has been established and it remains for the twelve arbiters of life and death to say whether it has been brought home to the defendant's door. It would seem puny to the point of mockery to dwell upon the agony which must sear the very soul of Henry Beatie if he be guilty, as charged. The hideous hours must come when assurance and bravado have died within him, and he stands alone with a conscience which lashes him with a scourge of scorpions. The heart knoweth its own bitterness, and we can but dimly guess what his feelings must be as he realizes that the life he has led has at least given color to the fearful indictment drawn against him. That no hue should be wanting to this tangled skein of tragedy, his father seems to have been a type of high integrity. The obligations which the young husband assumes when he establishes that unit of citizenship, the home, found frequent expression in the disapproval with which the elder Beattie looked upon the dericctions of his son. And yet it was in a measure due to his own B. NUFORM CORSETS THE Nuform is a popular priced corset, modeled on lines that per- W.B. NUFORM CORSETS fect your figure.

The French gave us the catch word of crime: Look for the woman! She was not far to seek in the sordid drama which has just unfolded itself in the legal procedure at Chesterfield. The woman? The child! And therein lies the pitiful aspect of it all. There must be a queer slant to the moral nature of anyone who can look with anything but the deepest commiseration upon the short life history of this soiled fledgling. At a time which should have been her doll-baby days she had trod the hot plowshares of motherhood, with none of the sanctity which glorifies a mother's name. She had grown up in moral miasma. That which should have been the asylum of innocence was the nursery of shame. If only negatively, if only by the lack of that restraint so essential to the unfolding of the flower of womanhood, her childish steps were set in a quagmile of vice. With all the potentialities of an exalted womanhood she found herself, from her home environment, foredoomed to the fate she met. The budding mignonette in the kitchen window box would have had more care; the sweetpeas over the doorway would have been trained toward the sun. It is not the mark of the fatalist to believe that all these things work out for noble ends in the sum of human experience, and the Binford story will not have been lived and flashed abroad in vain if it brings home to mothers everywhere the tremendous responsibility which rests upon them. The best of mothers may look with many a doubt and fear as she Sees her infant bud put worth its leaves; What may the fruit be yet? We know not; Cain was Eye's. Since we gather no figs from thistles, there could be but one result of a tutelage and environment such as fell to the lot of this light-hearted and lighter-headed nymph du pave. And yet benevolent Lady Sheepshanks still potters away to send cotton shirts to the heathens of the Congo! The Pharisees who had lifted no finger to stay the weakling's fall hiss her forth into the world to capitalize her tawdry rame. Passing over the graver issue which has brought him face to face with death, the undisputed crime of which young Beattie has been guilty was his treason to the domestic circle where he should have been that "house-bond" from which our Saxon ancestors derived the "husband's" name and office. When flappant Lotharios and phony philosophers have had their say in support of their system of elective affinities, the simple fact remains that the hearthstone is the cornerstone of the social fabric. There may be times when its embers are haunted by lost illusions; in its transition from rosy romance to rude reality the dream of love may be Sharpened from its high celestial flavor Down to a very homely household savor. And yet the welfare of the social order, the highest happiness of the individual, demand that the responsibilities of husband and father must be met and the solemn compact of the altar, though viewed merely as a civil compact, must be kept. The obligations cannot be shifted or ignored. Least of all can they be drowned in the lascivious rhapsodies of Aholibah, "whose house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death." UNITED BRETHREN MEETING Kokomo, Ind., Sept. 13.—Delegates representing a large section of Indiana assembled here today for the annual meeting of the St. Joseph conference of the United Brethren church.

EX-SENATOR BUFFER EX-SENATOR PPEFFER IS 80 Topeka, Kas., Sept. 9.—Former Senator William A.

For nearly a decade after leaving the senate Mr. Pfeffer continued to reside in Washington, but last spring he returned to Topeka to spend the remaining days of his life. It is with a sense of the utmost satisfaction that the former senator reverts to the part he has played in public affairs. In the current trend of the people's will he sees a vindication of his theories and, in part, at least, a fulfillment of what as a senator he demanded.

The Advocate is entered in the Post-office at Charleston, W. Va., as second class matter. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: Three months ..... $0.50 Six months ..... 1.00 One year ..... 1.50 Vernon, A. Standing Candidate. Under a Charleston, W. Va., Virginia date line, the Washington Post prints the following astrotelling report: "Quite a contest is on course for the presidency of the State Council for Colored Youth, at Institute, W. Va., and among the candidates are Mr. W. T. Vernon, ex-registrar of the Treasury, Mr. Vernon is being blamed by a few friend outside of the State. The late J. McCleary Jones was at one time the president." This could hardly have enumerated in Charleston for there is no one here with sufficient ability to write it who does not know that the problem and other members of the West Virginia Colored Institute faculty were elected last June to serve one year. Remember the time of the election Mr. Vernon had already been appointed to his present position, and neither he nor any one else was a candidate to succeed Mr. Prillerman, who was re-elected. The falsity of this report very naturally discredits a prior rumor effect that Mr. Vernon is socking the presidency of Morris Brown college an A. M. E. institution at Atlanta. When to these is added the counsel from Kansas that the former registrar of the treasury, when proudly mentioned in connection with the ministership to Italian, favored the association of that country in the United States, it begins to look suspiciously like a conspiracy, as it some party or parties were determined to figure for. Vernon by misrepresenting him to be the reading public. They are making of him a standing candidate no way position in sight, whether a vacant exists or not. Their motive is not so great a mystery as is their intent. SAFCE FOR THE CANADA Without dwelling upon the fate of the Oklahoma Negro who was captured by three of his race—who acted on this advice—and was lynched without having gone through the mockery of identification, attention is difficult to the difficulty experienced by others of the law in securing evidence against any member of any into their took human life without due process of law. None of the spectators or participants in any of these actions have fallen over one another in their eagerness to deliver the demands to Justice. On the contrary, there is always in evidence a "conspiracy of silence" compared with what in the timelessness of the Black attribution was a thunder clap. All the forces of the great state of Pennsylvania have been called on to apprehend and prosecute those guilty of the Coatesville barburee, but the results are not at all encouraging. It seems as though the whites are either ignorant of their duty to "snitch" or else it is not incumbent upon them, as upon the Negroes, to point out evil doers. What is sauce for the evil, not always sauce for the gander very likely. A TALE OF WOOL "Friend Trotter told me, I should go to Boston "an avowed candidate" for the presidency of the League. On the contrary, soon as I took Bishop Walter's place, I was reliable" said that "Trotter wants the presidency next time" and the same was true to talk in Boston. I can prove that I wanted to resign and would have done so, had not my friends toped me to stand the test, and when that came not withstanding the "it" Boston men and women who by simply paying a dollar at the close of Bishop Walter's lecture when our league was not in session, and were made voting members, which I would not go in West Virginia, Mr. Trotter was done by three votes. Take your medics like a man, as I would have done—you're too big a man to play the baby act." Thus speaks J. R. Clifford in his Pioneer Press to Wm. Mottroe Trotter, his erstwhile very dear friend and co-worker in the National Independent Political League. One and that not a month ago, the relations between these two were closer than those said to have existed between Damon and Pythias. David and Jonathon were not bound together by stringer the life of friend like than those which held Clifford to Trotter and Trotter to Clifford. But see what an ambition he went and done. There can be but one ident of the National Independent Political League. Trotter wanted the office and Clifford was willin'. Clifford got it and now there is discord where once harmony reigned supreme. The stage is set and the curtain has arisen on what is likely to prove a combat of old for Trotter is not the man to suck his thumb, even if it is his quandam bosom friend who accuses him of using underhand methods and then doing the baby act. Ambition! Was it not Shakespeare who uttered a warning against ambition, which he characterized as 'young lowliness ladder, whereunto the climber upward turns his face; when he once attains the upmost round, he then unto the ladder turns his toes, sworning the base degree by which he did ascend'. Both Trotter and Clifford are ambitious and thereby is yet a tale—a tale of woe—whence is yet in the telling. Has any body round here seen you? THE MAN EARTHSTEST BOWN. Framed the country of Mr. Booker or T. Washington. The Advocate is able to furnish its readers with his series of articles on The Man Earthstest Outlook. They are both entertaining and instructive and he who fails to read them overbooks an opportunity to increase his knowledge not only of the oppressed abroad but also of the oppressed at home. THE WARM TURNS The manner in which the West Palm Beach Spiders put it over the Pittsburgh Pitches would warm the cookies of an Egyptian mammy's heart. Think of the asthms for National League hammers being debarred by a N.Y. clubb. Is it not a pleasant whistle when you recall the barrier closest to N.Y. entering organized baseball? Verify the worm hath issued. The N.Y. Times is a small and childish publication. Kid-friendly articles on the list will be given at a subtitle, to participate in the celebration of the anniversary of the greatest event in history by the Times in America. It has been a tokyo teen years since it began a few years on the pen made a price of man out of chatters. Two years less than a naut a century also the claims tell from the limbs of our fathers' and mothers, and this became a "diana of the fox" in fact as well as in nature. It is commonly noting that we celebrate this occasion. It is more to the American Negro than the Fourth of July is to the American white man. With tinkering sympathy and sounding brass, red fire and emulate eratology he keeps the memory press of his emancipation from the payment of taxes to a government in which he had no representation. He celebrates the anniversary of a political freedom. The twenty-seventh of September 1863 stands for more than that to the Negro. That was the date when physical treason, for us became an assumed fact, the time for which our fathers prayed, prayed with a faith and commitment which could not be denied. Some hold that the Emancipation Proclamation was simply a war measure, a device adopted by a hard at heart individual to preserve the Union. But that is not likely, true or false. It does not alter one for another but that it just useth itself. Let us then reckon upon this anniversary of the emancipation and, having board a record of the past achievements of the race, get inspiration for future endeavor. --- THE JOYES MEMORIAL. The near approach of the date upon which the West Virginia Pythians bore to unveil their monument to S. West Virginia and the adoption of a resolution by the Supreme Lodge of that Order to erect a monument, in defraying the cost of which the supreme jurisdiction is to participate, recalls the unpaid stock of monument inaugurated by the Old Lodge to perpetuate the memory of the West Virginia Pythians. What does your time follow doing? So little is heard the days about the movement that it were natural to conclude that it was a plundered. But it is hard to believe that the memory of mighty men must that in two short years they could force one at whose hands they could be made to tolerate, to ignore love and care and they pledged them over to the committee and those in the world would hast down to ruin their power on lasting parable on celebrating it.

PAYING THE FEDERAL The conviction of Henry Cox Beatts, the son of a great family of Vivintians, for murder in 1812 with point a mordant and adobe a tale. Reached by the spirit of Henry which his every wish gentlely is, it was made known, he treasured the road beaten loud by generations of others of his kind since the world began and now pay the debt which all these have paid—the wages of sin. He danced and must now pay the laddler. Guilty, an uxoricide, he has been branded by a jury of his peers who prayed to God that they might be guided aright in reaching their vicious, and now there awaits him a shameful death. The ways that led this young man to an untimely grave are a old as the human race. It is the story of him whose counterpart was known to the holy man who warned. "The lips of a strange woman drew as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil. But her ear is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a twisted sword. Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell. "Let not thy heart decline to her ways; so not astray in her perils. For he hath cast down many wounded; yet, many strong men hath she slain. Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death." Henry Clay Beatrice, de, booked out this warning. May the Lord have mercy on his soul.

Peale—the souvenirs of a friendship of thirty years will be published in the October Seribner. They reveal Gran's sharpness and directness, and biocuments on his journey around the world are most interesting. Several of the letters are on important questions then occupying public attention in the United States, such as the Pland Silver Bill. James Ford Rhodes, the eminent Historian, reviews "Cleveland's Administration" in the October Serbiner. He shows that, not withstanding the criticism of the reformers, Mr. Cleveland really did more for the cause of Civil Service Reform than any President except Roosevelt, and he did it at a time when it was more difficult. Jacob A. Rilis, under the title—"A Modern St. George"—reviews in the October September, the fight which an organized charity has made against the dragon, Poverty. Mr. Rilis's knowledge and enthusiasm enables him to present a picture of what is almost a social revolution. He outlines the direction in which the future battle is to be waged—not so much through charity as by removing the causes of poverty and misfortune. Child father is to be stopped, the house is for the poor are to be reconstructed, children are to be taught, skilled labor, mothers are to be shown how to raise healthy children; and all these things are not a cream of the future but are now actively under way. --- The new Serbian social begins in Gotau, and is by the influence English notchset, A. E. W. Mason, it appears in The Argentine, but scene soon shifts to England and has a great deal to do with parliamentary life. Mr. Mason himself recently has been a member of that body. The story will be called "The Tarantula" Ralph D. Payne, who is describing some of the great points of new world in Serbia, writes in the October number of Hamburg. The picture helps points of this marvel of commercial activity will be a surprise to many amateurs who do not realize that Germany has forged so tremendously to the fruit, and that one of her merchant lines has more than four hundred vessels going to every important port in the world. Franz Liszt was born one hundred years ago, and in the October Scribner James Hunger reviews his position in the musical world, and restores a great deal of the glamour which has been lost in recent years. The greatest horse show in the world is the international in London, E. S. Naudal writes a vivid and amusing description of it for the October Scribner, with pictures by Fred Pegrina, an English artist, who visited it recently with Mr. Naudal. Mrs. Wharton finishes her novel "Ichan Romme," in the October Scribner. It contains a description of a winter night in a New England village, and a tragedy that occurred there, which she has not surpassed in any of her books. THE ENGRESS (From the German by Goibel.) Where the sickles resound through the high rice fields. And the birds sing sweetly in foliage concealed. To her boy she sings a song of the night. Sleep my black child, for sorrow you are born.

While in the gain of your labers they will revel deep. Surely clever are these white men, they boldly sail the sea, Lightning' glow and thunder's roar are in their muskettly Their mills, steam driven, with strength of thousands, move and whirl and turn around. But an, along with all their wisdom, no compassion can be found. Ottiness I hear these proud ones boast of their liberty. How they bravely freed these shores from the mother country. But on him who boldly said, black men are true men. The most bitter persecution gladly they did send. Sweetly sound them venerated preaching how a God has died for all. And through such a costly offering, to better things this world was called. Still, how can I take this Word for Truth. It dwells not in their hearts nor breath? Is this the sense of love that they torture us to death? Oh you Great Spirit, what has my simple race ever done? That you pour a wrath so fearful on the head of each one? Speak, when through these clouds trick gathered, some small pity you will send, Speak, oh speak, when will the heavy lament of your swarthy children end? Th! that may happen when the Mississippi backward flows. When on the high cotton plant dark blue blossoms grow. When the lion peacefully sleeps with other than his kin. When the white man becomes true Christian and abandons all his sin. --- Spring Lake, N. J., Sept. 14. Though this was the third day of their sessions there was apparently no abstention of interest in the proceedings of the conference of Governors. The session opened with a discussion of "The Inheritance Tax and State County," led by Governors Noel of Mississippi and Dix of New York. Following this the conference took up the subject of "The Right of States to Fix Intra-State Traffic Rates," the discussion of which was opened with papers by Governors Havely of Missouri and Michele of Nebraska.

Hartman, principal of Public School 106, retired from his position today, in the half century of his pedagogy. Mr. Hartman taught many a boy afterward attained distinction in the life of the metropolis. BYRD PRILLERMAN, President Institute, West Virginia ASSIGNMENT OF THE COLORED TEACHERS WAS MADE TODAY Supt. Laidley Gave Advice to the Instructors The teachers of the Garnet, Washington and Island schools held a meeting in Garnet high school this morning at 10:30. The principal, V. W. Boyd, outlined his plans for the work of this school year. He spoke encouragingly of the outlook for a successful year's work. Two special teachers have been employed this year which must add strength and vigor to the work. Miss Tilden Travon, of Baltimore, a graduate of Pratt Institute, will have charge of the sewing and cooking in the school. A special teacher in writing, Miss Nila H. Clinton, will supervise the writing. Mr. Boynt is very earnest and zealous that the school work this year shall surpass the work of any former year, and with the hearty cooperation of the able corps of teachers associated with him, the principal will realize his highest and best hopes for the success of the school. Superintendent Laidley was present with the teachers and the plain, practical talk he gave on making the schools more efficient and putting more love, sympathy and kindness into their work this year, was a source of encouragement and inspiration. Mrs. Laidley's sympathy with or teachers' life theme and b wide experience gives him the confidence and respect. Be a man of his breadth and a thay. Mrs. Tyler made a helpful talk on the teaching of courtesy in the schools. Principal Boyd's suggestions to teachers totious: How to Succeed 1. Your first interest is school. 2. Visit parents. 3. Be careful how you address children. 4. Make no remarks that will reflect upon the home life of any child. 5. Wrap little or none. 5. Keep children busy. 10.

THE CROSS God laid upon my back a grievous load, A heavy Cross to bear along the road. I staggered on, till lo one weary day. An angry lion leaped across my way. The cross became a weapon in my hand, It slew my raging enemy, and then It leaped upon my back, a cross again. I faltered many a league, until at length, Groaning, I fell and found no further strength. I cried: O God, I am so weak and lame; And swift the cross a winged staff became. It swept me on till I retrieved my loss, Then leaped upon my back again, a cross. I reached a desert, on its burning tract. No snade was jthere, and in the burning sun, I sank me down and thought my day was done: But God's grace works many a sweet surprise— The cross became a tree before my eyes. I slept, awoke and had the strength of ten, Then fell the cross upon my back again. And thus, through all my days, from that time to this, The cross, my burden, has become my bliss: Nor shall I ever lay my burden down, Till God shall one day make my Cross a Crown. Providence, R.

The Man Farthest Down By BOOKER T. WASHINGTON.—Second Installment. Flume, Buda-Pest the Immigrant. It was a cold cloudy, windy, rainy day when the little coasting vessel that was to take us across the Adriatic drew out from the gray and misty harbor of the ancient city of Ancona and started in the direction of Flume, the single point at which the Kliondom of Hungary touches the sea. I had read of the hardships of the early immigrants, and I heard an old colored man who had been carried to America as a slave, tell of the long journey of himself and some fifty others, all crowded together in a little sailing vessel. It was not, however, until this trip of a few hours on the Adriatic in a dirty, ill-smelling little vessel that I began to understand, although I had crossed the ocean several times, how uncomfortable a sea voyage might be. Fortunately the journey was not a long one, and after the vessel found itself in the shelter of one of the beautiful green islands which are stationed like sentinels along the Dalmatain coast, it was possible to go on deck and enjoy the view of the rugged and broken coast line. It was indeed a splendid sight, in the clear light of the late afternoon, to watch the great blue-gray clouds roll up over the green and glistening masses of the islands, which lifted themselves on every side out of the surrounding sea. What I had heard and read of the Dalmatian coast had lead me to look for the signs of an ancient civilization not unlike that which I had left in Italy. What impressed me at first sight about Flume, however, was the brand new and modern character of everything in view. I do not mean that the city had any of the loose-jointed and straggling newness of some of our western American towns. It had rather the newness and completeness of one of those modern German cities, which seem to have been planned and erected out of hand, at the command of some higher authority. In that part of Germany Which I visited I noticed that nothing was allowed to grow up naturally, in the comfortable and haphazard disorder that one finds in some parts of America. This is particularly true of the cities. Everything is tagged and labeled, and ordered with military precision. Even the rose-bushes in the gardens seem to show the effect of military discipline. Trimmed and pruned, they stand up straight, in long and regular rows, as if they were continually presenting arms. The Impressica which I got of modern Hungary at Flume was confirmed by what I saw a few days later at Buda-Pest, the capital. There was the same air of newness, and novelty, as if the city had been erected over night, and the people had not yet grown used to it. A little further acquaintance with the cities of Flume and Buda-Pest made it plain, however, in each case, that the new city which filled the eye of the stranger, had been, as a matter of fact over, or rather added on to a more ancient one. In Flume, for example, somewhat hidden away behind the new buildings which line the broad avenue of the modern Magyar city, there is still preserved the outlines of the ancient Italian town, with its narrow, winding streets, crowded with all the quaint and vivid life, the petty traffic and the varied human sights and sounds with which I had become familiar during my journey through Italy. So in Buda-Pest, across the river from the modern Hungarian or rather Magyar city of Pest, there is the ancient German city of Buda, with its castle and palace, which dates back into the middle ages. What is still more interesting is that in these two modern cities of Flume and Pest, in which one sees and feels the impress of a strong and masterful people, one meets everywhere, in the midst of this feverish and artificial modern life, evidences of the habits and manners which belong to an older and simpler age. For example, it struck me as curious that in a city which is so well provided with the latest type of electric street cars, one should see peasant women trudging in from the country with heavy loads of vegetables of their backs; and, in a city where the government is seeking to provide modern houses for the laboring class with all the convenience that invention can supply, one should see these same peasant women peacefully sleeping on the pavements, or under the wagons in the public square, just as they have been so long accustomed to sleep, during the harvest times, in the open fields. In the same way in another connection, it seemed strange to read in the report of the Minister of Agriculture, that an agricultural school at Debreczen which had been carried on in connection with an agricultural college at the same place, had been closed because, "the pupils of this school, being in daily contact with the first year pupils of the college, boarding at the Pallag, attempted to imitate their ways, wanted more than was necessary for their future social position, and at the same time they aimed at a position they were not able to maintain." All this suggests and illustrates the radipity with which changes are going on in Hungary and the kaste with which the leaders in the Government and in social life are moving to catch up with and, if possible, get ahead of the procession of progress in the rest of Europe. The trouble seems to be that in Hungary progress had begun at the top, with the government, instead of at the bottom, with the people. The government, apparently, desires and hopes to give the masses of the people an education that will increase their usefulness, without at the same time increasing their wants and stimulating their desire to rise. Its efforts to improve the condition of the masses are further confused by a determination to suppress the other nationalities and preserve the domination of the Magyar race. In short I think I might sum up the situation by saying that Hungary is trying the doubtful experiment of attempting to increase the efficiency of the people, without giving them freedom. The result is that, while the government is closing up schools because, as the Minister of Agriculture says "an important political and social principle is endangered" when students begin to hope and dream of higher and better situation in life than in which they were born, the masses of the people are emigrating to America, in order to better their condition. At Flume I had an opportunity to study at close range, what I may call the process of this emigration. I had, in other words, an opportunity to see something, not merely of the manner in which the stream of emigration, flowing out from the little inland villages, is collected and cared for at Flume until it pours into, and is carried away in the ships, but also to get a more definite idea of the motives and social forces that are working together to bring about this vast migration of the rural populations of South Eastern Europe. In no country in Europe, not even in Italy, has emigration been so carefully studied, and in no country has more been done to direct and control emigration than in Hungary. At the same time I think it is safe to say that nowhere else has emigration brought so many changes in the political and social life of the people. At one time, indeed, it seemed as if Hungary proposed to make immigration a state monopoly. This was when the government, in granting to the Cunard Steamship Company a monopoly of the emigrant business at Flume made a contract to furnish that line at least 30,000 of immigrants a year. At that time there were between one hundred and two hundred thousand emigrants leaving Hungary every year, most of whom were making the journey to America by way of the German lines at Hamburg and Bremen. It is said that the Hungarian government, in order to turn the tide of emigration in the direction of Fiume and swell the traffic at that port, directed that all steamship tickets should be sold by government agents, who refused permission to emigrants to leave the country by other than the Fiume route. Since then, however, Hungary has, I understand, modified its contract with the Cunard Company in such a manner that it does not appear as if the government has actually gone into the business of exporting its own citizens, and, instead of attempting to direct emigration through Fiume by something amounting almost to force, it has rather sought to invite traffic by creating at this port model accommodations for emigrants. As a matter of fact the government has, as a rule, attempted to discourage emigration rather than increase it. Where that was not possible it has still tried to maintain its held upon its citizens in America; to keep alive their interest in their native land and make the emigration, so far as possible, a temporary see, in order that the State should not a permanent loss of its labor, emigration, and in order appear that the stream of gold which and into the country as a re- this emigration might not cease. tual amount of money which is right back by returning emigrants, or those living temporarily in America, can not be definitely determined. For example, not less than 47,000 emigrants returned to Hungary in 1907. It is estimated, if I remember rightly that each returned emigrant brought home at least $200 while the average emigrant, not permanently settled in America, sends back every year about $120, which is probably more money than he could earn at home. In the year from 1900 to 1906, inclusive, there was sent to Hungary by money orders alone, $22,917,566. In the year 1903 an official investigation shows that, in addition to the money which came from America in other ways, $17,000,000 was sent to Hungary through banks. One result of this influx of money from America has been that the peasant has been able to gratify his passion to obtain for himself a little Arp of land or increase the size of the farm he already posses. In fact in certain places, mentioned by Miss Balch in her book "Our Slavic Fellow Citizens", the demand for land has been so great that it has increased in value between five and six hundred per cent. Charities Publication Committee, 1910. In one year, 1903, according to Miss Balch, 4317 emigrants from one county in Cretia sent home $560,860 which is an average of not quite $130 per immigrant. With this money 4,116 homes were bettered, by paying debts, buying more land, or making improvements. These facts, give, however, but a small indication of the influence which emigration has had, directly and indirectly, upon the conditions of life among the masses of the people in Hungary and other portions of Southeastern Europe. For one thing, in arousing the hopes, ambitions and discontent of the so-called "inferior" people it has added fuel to the racial conflicts of the kingdom. The Slovak or Cretian who comes to America does not at once lose his interest in the political and vail struggles of his native land. On the contrary, in America, where he has opportunity to read newspapers printed in his own language, and to freely discuss racial politics in the societies and clubs which have been formed by the different nationalities in many parts of the United States, the average Slovak or Cretian in America is like to take a more intelligent interest in the struggle for national existence of his own people than he took at home. In the case of members of some of the minor nationalities it has happened that, owing to the persistence with which the Hungarian government had discouraged their efforts to teach their own language, it is not until they have reached America that they have had opportunity to read their mother-tongue. Some indication of the interest which the different emigrant people take in the struggles of the member of their own race, in their native land is given by the work which several of these nationalist societies are doing in America. The National Slavonic Society organizes political meetings, raises funds for Slovak political prisoners in Hungary and scatters Slovak literature for the purpose of arousing sympathy and interest in the Slovak cause. In his book, "Racial Problems in Hungary", Seten-Watson, who has made a special study of the condition of the Slovaks, says: "The returned Slovak emigrants, who have saved money in the United States, are steadily acquiring a small holdings in Hungary, and helping to propagate ideas of freedom and nationality among their neighbors. They speedily learn to profit by the free institutions of their adopted country, and today 400,000 Slovaks of America possess a national culture and organization which presents a striking contrast to the cramped development of their kinsmen in Hungary. There are more Slovak newspapers in America than in Hungary; but the Magyars seek to redress the balance by refusing to deliver these American journals through the Hungarian postoffice. Everywhere among the emigrants, leagues, societies and clubs flourish undisturbed; these societies do all in their power to awaken Slovak sentiment, and contribute materially to the support of the Slovak press in Hungary. Quoted from Miss Balch, "Our Slavic Fellow Citizens", p. 116. Seten-Watson adds that "the independence and confidence of the return of emigrants is in striking contrast with the pessimism and passivity of the elder generation." It is for this reason, perhaps that the Magyars, who represent the "superior race" in Hungary say that "America has spoiled the Slovak emigrant." In traveling across Hungary from Flume to Buda-Pest, and thence to Cracow, Poland, I passed successively through regions and districts inhabited by many different racial types, but I think I gained a more vivid notion of the strange mixture of races which make up the population of the Dual Monarchy from what I saw in Flume, than in any other part of the country. In Buda-Pest, which is the great melting pot of the races in Hungary, there is much the same uniformity in the dress and manner of the different races that one meets in any other large and cosmopolitan city. Flume on the contrary, has a much larger number of people who seem to be still in touch with the customs and life of their native villages, and have not yet learned to be ashamed to wear the quaint and picturesque costumes of the regions to which they belong. Among the most striking costumes which I remember to have seen were those of the Montenegrin traders, with their red caps, efbroidered vests, and THE ADVOCATE. the red sashes around their waists, which made them look like brigands. After these, perhaps the most picturesque costumes which I saw were worn a troop of Dalmatian girls, the most striking feature of whose costumes was the white woolen leggings, tied at the knee with ribbons. One figure in particular that I recall was that of a little woman, striding through the streets of Flume, driving a little train of beautiful cream-colored oxen. All these distinctions of costume emphasized each other by contrast, and as they each signified differences in traditions, prejudices and purposes of the people to whom they belagged, they gave one a sort of picture of the clash of races in this strange and interesting country. Even among those races who are no longer divided by costume and habits, racial distinctions seem to be more clearly drawn than at Buda-Pest. For example, to a large extent the business of the city seems to be monopolized by Germans and Jews. The government officials are Magyars, but the bulk of the population are Italians and Croatian. As a matter of fact there are three distinct cities which commonly go under the name of Flume. There is the modern city, with its opera house, its handsome official buildings, which is Magyar. The older city, with its narrow, grossing streets and Roman triumphal arch, which is Italian, and finally, just across the canal, or "Flume", which seems to have given the name of the city is a handsome new Croatian town which is officially distinct from the rest of the city, having its mayor and town officials. Flume itself has an exceptional position in the kingdom of Hungary. It is what was known in the middle ages as a "free city", with a governor and representatives in the Hungarian parloiment. The mayor, I understand, however, is an Italian, who has married a Croatian wife. This alliance of two races in one family seems to have a certain advantage in the rather tumultuous politics of the city, for I was told that when the Britians, as something happens, go to the mayor's house in procession with their grievances, the mayor's wife has been able to help her husband by addressing her own people in their native language. The most interesting thing I saw in Flume, however, was the immense emigration building, which has accommodations, as I remember, for something like 3,000 emigrants. Here are the offices of the Hungarian emigration officials, and in this same building are received and cared for, until the next succeeding sailing, the accumulation of the stream of emigration which flows steadily out at this port from every part of the kingdown. Here the emigrants, after they have been medically examined, given a oath and their clothes disinfected, are deined until the time of embarkation. In company with United States Council Slocum, from whom I received much valuable information, I visited the Emigration Building and spent a large part of one day looking into the arrangements and talking, through an interpreter, with emigrants from different parts of the country, who were waiting there to embark. Under his guidance I inspected the barracks, furnished with rows and lows of double-decked iron beds, observed the machinery for disinfecting the clothing of emigrants; visited the kitchen tasted the soup, and finally saw all the different nationalities march in together to dinner, the women in one row and the men in another. The majority of them were of Magyar nationality; good, wholesome, sturdy and thrifty people they seemed. They were from the country districts. Some of them were persons of property, who were going to America to earn enough money to pay off mortgages, with which their lands were burdened. Very many of them had relatives, a brother, a sister or a husband already in America and they seemed to be very well informed about conditions in the new country, where they were going. The two most interesting figures that I noticed among the intended emigrants were a tall, pallid and bare-footed girl, with rather delicate and animated features, and a man in a linen blouse which hung down to his knees, with his foot and legs incased in a kind of moccasin, surmounted with leggings, bound with leather thongs. The girl was a Ruthenian, who was looking to meet relatives in America. The man, whom I noticed looking, with what seemed to me rather envious interest and curiosity, at a pair of American shoes on sale at one of the booths in the big common hall was a Roumanian. Two of the emigrants with whom I talked had been in America before. One of these, who understood a little English, seemed to be a leader among the others. When I asked him the season why he was going back to America he spoke quite frankly and disparagingly about conditions in the old country. He said it was not so much the wages that led people to emigrate though they were small enough. But the worst of it was that there were long intervals when it was not possible to get any work. Besides that the taxes were high. "And then", he added, shrugging his shoulders, and throwing out his arm with a gesture of impatience, "it is too tight here." I suspect that this expressed the feeling of a good many emigrants, who returning to their native country, have emigrated a second time. They have found things in the old country "too tight" for comfort. There is still room in America for people to spread out, and grow and find out for themselves what they are capable of. As long as people find things "too tight" they will move on. The plant stretches always toward the light. Among the emigrants with whom I had an opportunity to talk was a group of Roumanians who had come up from Transylvania or Sieben Burgen, as they called it. They were a dark, silent sort of people who hung very closely together and looked at its out of the corners of their eyes. When I sought to talk with them, they seemed indisposed to answer my question, and finally one of them told the interpreter that they had been instructed not to talk with any one until they reached America. Considering the elaborate regulations which their government has imposed upon people seeking to leave Hungary, and the still more elaborate regulations which our government has imposed upon people seeking to enter the United States, this did not particularly surprise me. Since these people were Roumanians or Wallachs, from Sieben Bergen, they may have other reasons for not telling why they were leaving the country. The Roumanians, although they proudly claimed descent from the Romanconquerors of this part of the world, are, nevertheless classed among the "inferior", as they are, in fact among the most ignorant races in Hungary. As they have been particularly persistent in advertising their wrongs to the rest of Europe and have been frequently punished for it, they may perhaps have learned that silence is golden, particularly in the presence of Magyar officials. When in Vienna I was seeking for information that would help me to understand the racial situation in the dual monarchy, I found that one of the most learned and brilliant writers on that subject was a Roumanian, who while he was a student in Roumania Academy and in 1892 had been arrested with other students and condemned to four years imprisonment for writing and circulating a pamphlet in which were enumerated "acts of violence" committed against the other races of Hungary by the "superior" Magyars. The superiority of the dominant race seems, as a matter of fact, to be the foundation stone of the political policy of the present government in Hungary. In the last analysis it seems to be the major premise, so to speak, of every argument, which I happen to have heard or read in justification of the policy which the government has pursued in reference to the other races of the monarchy. In fact the "superiority of the Magyar" race is responsible for most that is good and evil in the history of Hungary, for the past seventy years. It seems, for example, to have been the chief source of inspiration for the heroic struggle against Austria, which began in 1848 and ended with the independence of Hungary in 1867. It seems, also, to have been the good which has spurred on the impatient leaders of modern Hungary in their hurry to overtake and surpass the progress of civilization in the rest of Europe. Unfortunately the ambition and success of the Magyars in their effort to gain their political independence and preserve their peculiar racial type from being lost and swallowed up by the other and "inferior" people by which it is surrounded, has encouraged every other nationality in a similar desire and determination. "If it is good for the Magyars to preserve their language, customs and racial traditions", say the other races in effect, "why is it not just as important for us, that we preserve ours?" The reply of the Magyars is, in effect: "You have no language, no history nor tradition worth keeping in short you are an inferior race." Naturally the argument does not end here. The other nationalities reply by founding national schools and colleges to study and preserve their peculiar language, traditions and customs, while those nationalities who have previously had no history proceed to make some. Thus the doctrine of superiority of the Magyars race, which has been so valuable in stimulating the Magyars to heroic efforts in behalf of their own race seems to have been just as valuable in stinging into life the racial pride and loyalty of the other races. And thus, on the whole, in spite of its incidental cruelties, the conflict of the races in Hungary, like the struggle of the white and black races in the South, seems to have done less harm than good. At least this is true, so far as it concerns the races which are down and are struggling up, because oppression, which frequently stimulates the individual or the race who suffers from it, invariably injures most the individual or race which inflicts it. Most of the "acts of violence" of which the subordinate nations complain are committed in the name of what is known as the "Magyar State idea" which seeks to be little more however, than the idea that the Magyars must dominate, although they GARRETT AND HAZLEWOOD UNDERTAKERS Why pay large prices when we can furnish you with the same quality of service and goods for less money. We carry a large stock of goods. Prompt ambulance service. Open day and night. represent but fifty-one per cent of the population in Hungary proper and forty-five per cent of the total population, including that of the annexed territory, Crotia and Slavonia. So far is the Magyar race identified with the government in Hungary that it is punished as a kind of treason to say anything against the Magyars. Most of the persons who are prosecuted for political crimes in Hungary seem to be charged, either with puslavism, which is usually little more than a desire of the Slavs to preserve their own national existence, or with "incitement against the Magyar nationality". On the part of the Magyars it does not seem to be any crime to speak disrespectfully or even contemptuously of the other races. I have observed that those writers who have sought to defend the "Magyar State idea" refer frankly to the Roumanians and the Slovaks as "inferior races," who are not competent to govern themselves. There is, likewise, a saying among the Magyars, to the effect that "a Slovak is not a human being", a notion that seems to spring up, quite naturally in the mind of any race which has accustomed itself to the slavery and oppression of another race. It is, however, all the more curious that such a saying should gain currency in Hungary, in view of the fact that Kossouth, the great national hero of Hungary, was himself a Slovak. One bears strange stories in Hungary of the methods which the dominant race has employed to hold the other races in subjection? For example, in the matter of elections, brigery, intimidation and all the other familiar methods of exploiting the vote of ignorant and simple-minded people are carried on in a manner and to an extent which recalls the days of reconstruction in the South. In order to maintain the superior race in power, newspapers are suppressed, schools are closed and the moneys for their support, which have been collected for educational purposes, are confiscated, by the government. As an illustration of the lengths to which Hungary has gone, in order to maintain Magyar dominance, it is said that when the Catholic clergy, seeing the ravages which drink him made among Slovaks attempted to organize temperance societies among them the government suppressed these organizations on the ground that they tended to foster the sentiment of paulslavism and so were in opposition to the "Magyar State idea". It is known, however, that the chief complaints against these societies were from liquor dealers. Apparently, it is just as easy in Hungary as in America for selfish persons to take advantage of racial prejudice and sentiment, in order to use it for their own ends. In fact, all that I saw and learned in regard to the relation of the races in Hungary, served to show me that racial hatred works in much the same way, whether it exists among people of the same color, but different speech, or among people of different colors and the same speech. If there are some points in which the relations of the races in Hungary and the United States are similar, there are others in which they differ. White Hungary is seeking to solve its social problem by holding down the weaker races and people. America is seeking to accomplish the same result by lifting them up. In Hungary every effort seems to be made to compel the so-called "inferior race" to give up their separate language, to forget their national history, traditions and civilization; everything, in fact., which might inspire them as a people with a desire for a proper ambition to win for themselves a position of respect consideration in the civilized world. In America, on tee contrary, each race and nationality is encouraged to cultivate and take pride in everything that is distinctive or peculiar, either in its traditions, racial traits or dispositions. I think I am safe in saying that there is no country in the world where so many different races of such different colors, habits and traditions live together in such peace and harmony as is true in the United States. One reason for this is that there is no other country where "the man farthest down" has more opportunity or greater freedom, than in the United States. MARRIAGE LICENSES Kyle C. Walk, 24; Pearl B.

The Philadelphia Nationals had a list of 25 players they wanted to land by the draft route. Pitcher Jeff Peffer, of the Boston Nationals, will most likely perform in the Southern league next season. Rumors of a baseball war are flying thick and fast, but the chances are that there will be nothing doing. "Nap" Lajoie has passed Jackson and is crowding Ty Cobb for the batting championship of the American League. Jack Dalton, now with Newark in the Eastern League, will be given another tryout by the Brooklyn Club next spring. During the Athletics' stay in St. Louis President Hedges made flattering offers to Harry Davis to manage the Browns next season. Thursday, August 31 was the first day this season that not a major league game was played. Rain put the kibesh on the entire schedule. As the Athletics will be playing at home while Detroit is hitting the road, prospects for the pennant look pretty sweet to Connie Mack. Catcher "Chief" Meyers, of the Giants, has his old war club on the job this season. He stands third in the National league batting averages. Tris Speaker says that the no-hit game Mitched by Ed. Walsh, of the White Sox, against the Red Sox was the greatest exhibition that he ever faced. "Cy" Young, Walter Johnson, Grover Cleveland Alexander add "Otey" Crandall, stars among the pitchers, are all real farmers. Young owns Ohio farms, Johnson a Kansas ranch, Alexander a Nebraska farm and Crandall is buying Indiana land as fast as he can. It is said that the Pittsburgh Pirates form the real "white ribbon" brigade in the big show this season. Last Year some of the Pirates were in the habit of "cutting loose" now and then, but this season, with a pennant in sight, the boys have lived close to the pump. --- FAST TROTTERS IN STAKE RACE Syracuse, N.
