President Theodore Roosevelt Is Still Harping On the Negro Question He Advises His Colored Brother In His Decoration Day Speech at the Hampton Institute to Stick to the Farm and Become a Good Agricultural Laborer That Higher Education is Not Suitable for the Average AfroAmerican. President Roosevelt delivered a remarkable oration for his white brethren at Portsmouth, Va., Decoration Day, Wednesday, May 30, and after jollying his hearers in good shape in defense of his own acts in hooking up with Ben. Tillman, and the life insurance thelves of New York City, he proceeded to Hampton, Va., where he addressed the Colored students attending the Hampton institute, who received him and the Presidential party with open arms. Before delivering his address to the students, they sang the following and other old plantation songs for him and his party. At the conclusion of the hymn, "The Great Camp Meeting in the Promised Land," the president applauded heartily and shouted, "More, more!" But Dr. Frissell and President Roosevelt were very careful not to call on the students to favor them with any of the classical or up-to-date songs, for seemingly that would never do for to all intents and purposes it would be putting the musical trained Negro on the same level with his educated white brother. In speaking directly to the Negro students, the President said: "Now, the first thing upon which I wish to lay emphasis is that a school such as this, which strives to raise the Colored man and Colored woman, to make them better men and better women, better citizens, is preeminently in the interests of the white man. There is nothing that can be done better for the white man, who is to live side by side with the Colored man, than to train that Colored man up to be a good citizen. From the standpoint of the Colored man, the only real way to help him is to help himself. In the long run in this world, no human being can be carried. "It is often said that the true place for the Negro is in industrial work. it is. That is the true place for the average Negro, and it is the true place for the average man, and we will not get our civilization upon a proper basis until we root out of the mind of the average man and the average girl of whatever color the belief that to become a poor clerk is better than being a first-class hand working, intelligent law-abiding citizens. "The wrong twist that has been given to our education in the past has been largely responsible for the development of the city at the expense of the country. Never in the past has any nation been permanently great when the city population has been enormous in size as compared with the country population, for the people of the farms conserve certain qualities which those who dwell in the large cities tend to lose. If there is one thing I would like especially to impress upon you, it is to advise you to take up agricultural work. In doing that you will be doing only what the best, the most intelligent and most ad- vanced white people are more and more growing to do. "Your whole civilization is going to tend more and more toward recognizing the capital part played by the manual worker, the vital part played by the man who actually works with his hands, whether in the workshop or on the farm. More and more things are going to shape themselves so that he shall have the fullest recognition. "Most important of all is character. If you are a good man, you are a good man, no matter what your color. And if you are a worthless man, you are a worthless citizen. The Negro criminal, no matter at whose expense the patricial crime may be committed, is a hundredfold more dangerous to the Negro race than to the whole race, because he tends to arouse the bitter animbsities, the bitter prejudice for which not he alone but the whole race will suffer." It is far from our intention to endeavor to create the impression that President Roosevelt is unfriendly to the Negro, for there is an abundance of evidence to the contrary, but like the vast majority of his countrymen he runs off on the wrong tangent whenever he touches upon what he considers the "Race Question" in this country, and this is partially true as to what he had to say in his address to the students referred to. He seems to fall to take into consideration this one fact "that the Negro has not been carried on the back of any one, since he landed on these shores, while on the other hand he has been compelled for more than two hundred and fifty years, not only to carry his own bunden but also the heavy burden of his so-called supreer White brother" and no sane person can successfully dispute this proposition. The President also contends that "the wrong twist has been given to our education in the past, which has caused the large cities to expand at the expense of the country or the rural districts. This will be the natural order of things, as long as it is possible for a common bootblack in the cities to make as much money in one month, as the best farmhand can earn in two months, and if the present Chief executive would have adheard to his own advice, and hied himself to the country years ago and remaind there, the chances are, that he would never have become, Police Commissioner of New York City, Assistant Secretary of the Navy, leader of the Rough Riders, Governor of his state nor President of the United States. So you see, it is a mighty poor rule that cannot be worked both ways. His reference to industrial education; will not effect the status of those belonging to his own race, but, it will belong to a greater or less degree, the future destiny of the Afro-American, for if he is only, to receive an industrial education, then it follows as natural HEW TO THE LINE. CHICAGO, JUNE 2, 1906 M. B. WILLIAM A. DOYLE. The brainy and eminent lawyer,who is exceedingly popular with all classes of his fellow-citizens, who should be elected to succeed the late Murray F. Tuley as Judge of the Circuit Court of Cook County.

He is a prominent men He came into this grand old world in Scott county, Illinois, in 1863; his early life was spent like other country boys, working in the fields and meadows during the entire year, except those few winter months spent in school. As the years rolled by he attended the high school several miles distant from his father's farm and in time he entered the Christian Brothers' College in St. Louis, Mo., where he finished his literary education, then he started east to enter the Law Department of Harvard University, but being from the country he landed in Chicago before striking out for the east and as Mr. Doyle smilingly tells it, "he was taken in" and was induced to enter the Uniion College of Law, and after graduating with high honors in the class of '87, he opened law offices in the Chicago Opera House as the day follows the night, that eventually, he will be entirely deprived of his civil and political rights. Again we are compelled to take issue with the President when he pretends that a crime committed by a Negro, is far worse than the same crime committed by a member of some other race. This is the most dangerous or harmful statement in his whole speech for it tends to set the Negro off in a class by himself in this respect, which is wrong in theory and in practice, and as long as no disgrace was brought upon the President, by permitting the grand rascals connected with the New York life insurance companies to contribute hundreds of thousands of dollars which they had stolen from widows and orphans for the purpose of aiding in his election, likewise he should refrain from giving credence to the theory, that the entire Negro race is disgraced every time one of its members commits a crime. Doctor A. F. Perry, 4810 Langley ave.: "I want to say right here that The Broad Ax is always delivered more promptly at our home than all of the other papers in the city, and it suits me and the other members of the family." Block, where he remained in the same offices until the first of May, 1905, then he removed to Suite 1206-7-9, First National Bank Building. Mr. Doyle is happily married and resides with his accomplished wife and fourteen year old son, at 1417 Washington Boul. He is a prominent member of the Mendon Club, the Iroquois Club, the Chicago and the State Bar Associations. In the past and at the present time he is actively engaged in the practice of law in all the courts, and ranks with the foremost or the most eminent members of his honored profession. In every sense of the word he is a selfmade man and being free from inborn race prejudice, who is willing to give each and every individual an even break or run for his money, regardless of his nationality or station in life, and as he is a geniel gentleman, one who can be easily approached by any person, he is therefore eminently qualified to serve as one of the "people's judges" and he should be selected to serve out the unexpired term of Judge Tuley at the Judicial election Monday, June 4. During the progress of the 8th Regiment Ball and Dress Parade, several young newspaper boys, who thought they were real cunning, and in order to get a little free advertising for their paper, rushed up to many of the ladies with paper and pencils in their hands throughout the evening and requested them to write out a description of their costumes for the ——, and it was right funny to observe the vain-glorious ladies, who are always looking for lots of free doings, writing and writing for one of the smiling gentlemen with eye glasses, but when his weekly —— made its appearance last Saturday, it contained not the slightest description of the many fine dresses worn by the ladies and those who know how to read newspapers intelligently freely admit that "The Broad Ax was the only newspaper in this city which contained a complete account of the Eighth Regiment Ball." Ex-Alderman S. F. Leachman, who is one of the high priests of Democracy in the 27th Ward, spent the past week in Louisville, Ky., and he says "that a great building boom is on in that beautiful southern city." Portland, Oregon, the Gateway to the West, Northwest and the Pacific Ocean A Birds Eye View of That Commercial Center by Mrs. W. A. Buckner—Her Interesting Description of the Lewis and Clark Exposition—Personal Mention and Comments. On arriving at Portland the 18th day of August, for two weeks I was the guest of Mrs. R. H. Benard, an old school mate at her beautiful residence in the suburbs of Portland. She living quite a ways out, I moved in the city so as to be near the Exposition and churches. As the guest of Mrs. A. F Estell, 87 N. Park st., where I spent most of my pleasant stay of three months in and around Portland, which is a beautiful and wide a wake city, situated on both sides of the Willamette river, it has a population of 103,167; Colored, 975. It is the largest city in the state of Oregon. The climate is fine all during summer, but rains excessively during the winter, and one to live in Portland will soon become a web foot. It is clean and healthy, surrounded by mountains which makes it a very desirable place to live in, especially one seeking health. Portland has exceptional advantages for a commercial center. Situated at the head of ocean navigation on the water way formed by the Columbia and Williamette, it possesses a harbor common lious and accessible for the largest ships. Its port in the terminus of several ocean and coast wise steamship lines, and in the large union depot five great railroad systems terminate: The Great Northern, the Northern Pacific, the Union Pacific, the Oregon Railway & Navigation Co. and the Southern Pacific. The tributary region, rich in timber, agricultural and mineral resources, is one of the most productive in the United States, though but partly developed. The Colored people are doing well, while there are not many in business, the chances are good. They became very much discouraged on the opening of the Lewis and Clark Exposition. The Colored men depend largely upon the hotels and railroads for their occupation. The hotels Portland and Oregon, I think is the name, have always employed Colored waiters. A time of opening the Exposition, the hotels changed their service from the American to the European plan and thereore discharged the Colored waiters and employed white waiters, the managers claim their object for doing so they could not get Colored waiters enough to run the hotels on the European plan. The White waiters would not take charge unless the managers would sign a contract to keep them until the Exposition closed, the contract beginning May 15th and closing Oct. 15th. In the feastime there a dissatisfaction with the white waiter. Among the guests, also with the owners, that the managers were forced to take the Colored waiters back at wages of thirty dollars per month and room out; they formerly got thirty-five and room in the hotel. Mr. Wheeler, head waiter at the Portland Hotel, has forty men in charge and they give good service. The Colored waiters are employed at several other places since the closing of the Exposition. The Lewis and Clark Exposition was*a very creditable affair; the electric display was fine and quite an attraction for the western people, especially Californians. They seem to have a monopoly on the attendance. The No. 32 on, the Gateway Northwest and Pacific Ocean ew of That Com-ter by Mrs. W.—Her Interesting of the Lewis and sition—Personal Comments. Exposition was an advantage to the Eastern people and also the West. The railroads gave splendid opportunities for people to travel, and the Eastern people took advantage of it; the rates were in reach of all. A number of them have located in the West. I saw several Colored men and women that were among them that went West to locate. Pörtland has three Colored churches, Baptist, A. M. E. and Zion A. M. E. Rev. J. F. Toliver is pastor of the A. M. E. and has done a good work in building up the church, taking his own money to buy material, and did the carpenter work himself. He is a Christian gentleman and ready always to help those that need help, despite the obstacles thrown in his way he is progressing. The churches are progressing nicely. Pörtland has one Colored physician, Dr. G. W. Merriman. He has a very lucrative practice and he takes an active part in all that goes on in interest or to help the Colored race. There are two Colored newspapers, but one of them only comes out periodically. I did not see it very often. The other is the Advocate, very edibly edited by Mr. E. D. Canaday. He is a wide awake young man and is progressing. He takes a manly stand and endeavors to run his paper on sound basis and for the welfare of the race. He is a property holder and is worthy of the support of his race in running his paper. It is clean and a good paper. Portland has one Colored lawyer, Mr. T. McCant Stewart. He has a good practice among both races and is prosperous. He also works faithfully for the upbuilding of his people. Mr. A. T. Estillone of Portland's prosperous citizens. He holds a very prominent position in one of the leading hospitals. His wife being Chef. They have charge of everything at a salary of $150 per month. They own two prune farms and other property. The custom house employs several Colored men. They get good wages. Among other prosperous citizens are Mr. Logan, Mr. A. C. Thomas, Mr. R. H. Benard, Mr. C. B. Hall, Mrs. A. Keeble, Mrs. Dora Newman, Mrs. W. H. Waterford, a sister of the late D. H. Weir of Chicago, and several others lack of space will not allow me to mention. Among the Chicagoans that I met in Portland were: Messrs. Geo. Barnes, Henry Daniels, I. F. Norris, W. Hackley, W. H. Cain and Wm. McRea. Mesdames Pearl Pitts, E. C. Smith. All were taking in the sights and the exposition. Mrs. C. S. Smith of Auberry St. runs a first-class hotel and restaurant and does well. I read an article in one of the daily papers of Portland where a Colored man had applied for a position as police officer, he being a giant in statice. They commented on him and said he was the first Colored man that had ever applied to take the examination for that position. That is what they must do, make application and qualify themselves with perserverance they will win. A number of Colored men and women were employed at the Exposition, but under unfavorable and disagreeable conditions. The summers are long and lovely, finding that it agreed with me, (Continued on Page 2.)

DICKERSON PASTOR OF ST. MARK CHURCH BY MRS. MOSES RATCLIFFE AND FRIENDS. Tuesday evening a concert, reception and banquet was tendered to Rev R. L. Dickerson, the new pastor of St. Mark M. E. church, State street near 47th, and to Rev. J. B. Redmond, pastor of Scott chapel on the West Side, also to Presiding Elder D. E. Skelton who was unable to be present. The church was comfortably filled by those who turned out to greet the new pastor and the invited guests of Mrs. Ratcliffe. D. A. Bethea was master of ceremonies, and he was more than equal to the occasion. The program rendered was highly edifying, especially the reading by Miss Irene Collins, the singing by Dr. Marshall's Jubilee Quartette. Mrs. Georgia Foxx-Moody was at her best in her select reading. Those who tok part in an all chorus were a little stiff or rigid in their singing, and those possessing godd voices were drowned out by the less favorite voices. Rev. H. E. Stewart, pastor of Institutional church, welcomed Revs. Dickerson and Redmond to the city in behalf of its other divines and in so doing he declared that "Chicago is a great field for them to labor in and to assist to build up the kingdom of their Lord in what is considered the wickedest city on earth." Revs. Dickerson and Redmond very befittingly responded to the remarks of the speaker referred to, at the conclusion of which the guests repaired to the banquet tables in the lecture room of the church, where ample justice was done to the good eatables which were spread before them, and every one was loud in sounding the praises of Mrs. Ratcliffe, for planning or arranging the concert, reception and banquet. RATE BILL PASSED: On Friday of last week the Senate passed something which is known as the "Rate Bill," regulating the traffic on the railroads of the country. The "Rate Bill" deals with freights of every description, save human freight. When Senator Foraker made an attempt to add the Negro freight of the South, which is today paying first class rates for cattle accommodation, the South senators foamed and frotted at the mouth and dire were the threats if a hand was extended to give decent accommodation to the Negro freight of the South. Ben Tillman cracked the whip, and the Negro was left to the tender mercies of the several jim crow state while the hogs, cows, coal, iron and other stuff hauled by railroads received the most statesmanlike thought and attention. And the Negro is still a victim to party and the party find itself unable to protect him!-The St. Luke Herald, Richmond, Va. It will ever be thus as long as the Negro will persist in closing his eyes, and blindly voting for Abraham Lincoln, regardless of the fact that men and measures have radically changed within the past forty or fifty years. PERSONAL MENTION. Mrs. J. Amburg Cotton, 4917 Dearborn St., accompanied by little Miss Lillian Roy, left the city Saturday night for the South. Mrs. Cotton goes to visit her "Alma Mater" and witness the graduating exercises of her accomplished niece, Miss Lucile Wright and Miss Roy as Miss Wright's special guest.

Lawyer, author, orator and one of the most prominent Masons in in the United States. Lawyer, author, orator and one of the most prominent Masons in in the United States. December 11 last Lincoln Park Chapter 177, R. A. M., presented to Comp. A. D. Gash, thirty pennies, as the wages due him for the many acts of kindness that he has shown the chapter and its members. He was desirous of having the pennies put into some shape that they would be attractive that they might become an heirloom in his family. Shortly after receiving the pennies, he mentioned the matter to Comp. Chas. H. Faitz, and between them they designed a keystone in which to set them. It is made of aluminum, and the pennies are set in with a driving fit, flush with the surface, that they may not be confused with the emblems and emblematic letters. The keystone weighs eleven pounds, is 8 5-8 inches in height, 7 1-2 inches square at the top, and 5 inches square at the bottom. In the center of the top is a stem with a large ring, 3 1-2 inches in height, by means of which it can be handled. The keystone is hollow, with a bottom, fitted so closely it can scarcely be detected as not being one piece. In the center of the bottom is engraved the following: "No. 1 by C. H. Faitz," he having fade it. The emblems and letters are made of burnished brass about the thickness of a silver half dollar, and are anchored by means of brass stems braised to the different emblems and letters and held by taps on the inside. On one side is a penny dedicated to the Entered Apprentice Degree. Above this is placed a twenty-four inch gauge and common gavel. On the opposite side is one penny, and the working tools of the Fellow Craft's degree, a plumb, square and level. On the back face of the keystone are the square and compass, with the letter "G" in the center, and a trowel, with a penny beneath this side being dedicated to the Master Mason degree. On the top of the keystone is a penny, set at each point of the compass, designed for each degree in the chapter. At the right of the penny set for the Mark Master's Degree are a chisel and mallet. At the right of the penny set for the Royal Arch Degree are the working tools, pick, shovel and crow. There is graved on the central division of the top, on one side of the stem, and enameled in red the words: "Wages paid to Companion A. D. Gash by Lincoln Park Chapter, December 111th, 1905." On the opposite side of the stem is set the mark of Comp. Gash, which is a five-pointed star, with a circle on the central division with the letter "G" set inside of the circle, the field inside surrounding the "G" being enameled in blue. On the face of the keystone are set twenty-three pennies. Three in the center, surrounded by a brass ring, five across the bottom, seven across the top and the letters appropriate to the keystone in their regular form, with one penny between each, being eight, with a brass ring on the outside. The significance of the setting of the pennies on the face can be seen at once by all Royal Arch Masons, each setting being emblematic. The twenty-three pennies on the face of the keystone, as a whole, apply to the number of years that Companion Gash has been a Mason; and, the whole thirty pennies, set on the various sides and top of the keystone, are emblematic of the number Monday, 2 p. m., the first meeting of the Chicago Federation of Woman's Clubs will be held. Reports from the different clubs and an address by D Majors with music will make up the program." "D." Col. and Mrs. John R. Marshall, 3630 Calumet Ave., entertained Maj. Duncan, Mr. Perkins and Mr. Bert Williams at breakfast Wednesday morning. Prof. Kelly Miller who is connected with the Howard University, Washington, D. C., will lecture at Quinn Chapel, 24th and Wabash Ave., Thursday evening, June 7 at 8:30 o'clock, under the auspices of the Chicago Negro Business League. of years that Lincoln Park Chapter has been in existence. It will be seen that everything connected with the keystone is emblematical and it forms a most beautiful ornament. It was unveiled by Comp. Gash with appropriate remarks, at Lincoln Park Chapter on Saturday evening last, at which time Comp. Chas. H. Faitz, with others, took the Royal Arch degree. The companions present pronounced the keystone one of the most beautiful of emblems, and a piece of art. The sentiment expressed by it, as a whole, is indeed sublime—The Masonic Chronicler, May 26. 06. In this connection it might not be out of place to state that Col. Gash, who received such a beautiful token of friendship from his Masonic brethren, and the writer have been warm friends ever since 1895, at that time he resided in far away Utah, and during the eight years that he lived within 'the treasury walled cities of the Gods' he was quite prominent in its affairs. He was for four years County Attorney of Utah county, being the first and only Gentile or non-Mormon to be elected to that office. He was connected with the military service, being a member of Governor West's staff. He was also a member of the Democratic State Committee of Utah, chairman of the committee of Utah county, and as a lawyer he stood well with the leading members of his profession in that state and the entire west. During the great Rawlins and Thatcher senatorial contest of 1897 many of the leading newspapers throughout Utah, including The Broad Ax, unsolicited freely mentioned the name of Col. A. D. Gash in connection with the United States Senatorship. But he remained true to the cause and principles which were represented by the Hon. Moses Thatcher, who was defeated after a long and bitter struggle by the leaders of the Mormon church. In the summer of 1898 the press of Utah again mentioned Col. Gash for Congressional honors, but several weeks prior to the convening of the Democratic State Convention, which nominated B. H. Roberts, who was expelled from the halls of Congress. The Colonel disposed of his beautiful home in Provo and with his family departed from the Land of Zion and came to this great city to reside and they live in a nice home on Douglas Blvd, near Kedzie av., and from the very day that he hung out his law shingle in front of the suite of rooms he occupies in the Oxford Building, 86 LaSalle st., he has met with great success, and has built up a large and paying practice among the very best people in this city. Col. Gash is a writer of considerable note for he is the author of a very interesting book on Utah, entitled "The False Star." It can be truthfully stated on our part "that from the day we first meet Col. Gash in 1895, down to the present time, he has never attempted to address us by any other title than Mr. Taylor, which is sufficient proof that he is a gentleman of culture and refinement, and as long as he has on-dollar he is more than willing to divide it between his lovable wife, their beautiful little baby and the writer.

"Some people may not like The Broad Ax because it believes in hewing to the line and letting the chips fall where they may. But I like it justthe same and I cannot sleep well on Saturday night unless I have read The Broad Ax." I spent all summer in Portland. Meantime I took a trip to the Dalles, also to the Cascade Locks, situated on the Columbia River. It is a beautiful scene. I also visited Vancouver, B. C. My short stay prevents my giving a description of the city. The Colored people there are doing well and are of a high class, so I was told. It is very interesting to visit the different cities and to travel on the variousies of water and scale the mountains. It brings one close to nature. To those who wish to go West and will make up their minds to stay, I say go. It is a great field to work in and with nerve and push they are bound to grow. Congressman Chas. S.

Special Notice Special Announcement GOSSIP FROM THE NATIONAL CAPITAL The Sting of the Ex-Senatorial Wasp--- Senator from Pennsylvania Brings That State Much Honor. WASHINGTON...Ex-Senator Chandler, "the wasp of the Senate," as he was formerly known, has managed to get into his natural element, which is hot water. He mixed in the railroad rate legislation as an intermediary between the strenuous President Roosevelt and the vitriolic Senator Tillman, of South Carolina. The opportunity to have some fun was too great for Mr. Chandler to let pass. President Roosevelt, as everybody who has come in personal contact with him knows, is impetuous and in private conversation speaks his mind very freely and sometimes extravagantly about those with whom he may have a difference of opinion. ```markdown ``` On the rate bill the president had some strong differences and to Senator Chandler he talked very freely about Senators Spooner, Knox and Foraker. It so happened that two of these men, Spooner and Foraker, have been in Mr. Chandler's bad books for some years, and the latter did not hesitate to report to Senator Till president said about these senators that sound conversation, but were absolutely offensive whenator Tillman felt called upon to make a state senate giving his version of the negotiations between the president and the Democrats threwmediary. In that statement he quoted what Sen the president had said about Knox, Spooner and latter did not hesitate to report to Senator Tillman some things which the president said about these senators that sounded rather harsh in private conversation, but were absolutely offensive when delivered in public. Senator Tillman felt called upon to make a statement on the floor of the senate giving his version of the negotiations that had been in progress between the president and the Democrats through Mr. Chandler, the intermediary. In that statement he quoted what Senator Chandler had said that the president had said about Knox, Spooner and Foraker. SENATOR KNOX BEMAINS COOL Senator Knox, one of the trio named by ex-Senator Chandler as having been criticised by the president, refused to get excited over the report as he said that the president knew him too well and knew his desire to enact constitutional legislation too well ever to have charged him even in private with having a purpose to defeat the bill. Mr. Knox is one of the well-tried friends of President Roosevelt who can talk to the latter like a "Dutch uncle," and the president takes his lecture in good part. It is remembered that a year or two ago a fulsome magazine article was published by a well-known writer in which the present Secretary Root was lauded to the skies and President Roosevelt quoted as saying that Mr. Root could fill any position in the cabinet and would make a better secretary of state than Mr. Hay or a better attorney general than Mr. Knox. RATE BILL This article caused some comment and the friends of Mr. Knox were inclined to be offended. especially as it was shortly after the attorney g the administration. The president got worried Knox did not go to the White House for several him, and in an embarrassed sort of way denied t rant for the quotation attributed to him in the President," said Mr. Knox, "I never gave that cause I knew that you were not fool enough to president, who is apt to be carried away by the and who doubtless had spoken in most laudatory point of his attorney general's remark at once. THE "GOLD-DUST TWINS." especially as it was shortly after the attorney general's successful credit to the administration. The president got worried over the article, and as Mr. Knox did not go to the White House for several days the president sent for him, and in an embarrassed sort of way denied that there had any warrant for the quotation attributed to him in the magazine article. "Oh, Mr. President," said Mr. Knox, "I never gave that matter a second thought, because I knew that you were not fool enough to make such a remark." The president, who is apt to be carried away by the enthusiasm of the moment, and who doubtless had spoken in most laudatory terms of Mr. Root, saw the point of his attorney general's remark at once. Two new members in the senate are getting a large share of credit for securing a sane and constitutional measure through that body. These are Senators Knox, of Pennsylvania, and Crane, of Massachusetts. Mr. Knox has taken high place in the senate during his first term because of the reputation he had when he entered that body. His advice has been sought and his opinion respected far beyond that which is accorded to new members. He has made but one set speech, but his interruptions have been frequent and always on some vital point in the rate bill. Mr. Crane entered the same time that Mr. Knox did and brought with him the reputation of being a superb organizer. ! When it seemed imperative that an amendment should be made to the rate bill to make it constitutional in the judgment of the majority of lawyers in the senate, Mr. Knox was given the task of convincing his colleagues that the amend- ment was necessary. To Mr. Crane was given tators for this amendment. The two men work the busiest members in that body. They are body as they were seen together so much they were as leagues the "Gold Dust Twins of the Senate." Senator Knox's prominence in his first term has been accorded him, has brought unusual ha vania so that there is strong talk of making him not listen to such a suggestion, as he does life, but many of his friends are urging him to act that he would give such an ideal administration to the forefront as a presidential candidate in 1 treasury department, who is himself a candidate the other day that if Pennsylvania elected an governor this year that man would be a formid dential race. ment was necessary. To Mr. Crane was given the task of inning up the senators for this amendment. The two men worked together and were about the busiest members in that body. They are both small men physically, and as they were seen together so much they were dubbed by some of their colleagues the "Gold Dust Twins of the Senate." Senator Knox's prominence in his first term and the high position that has been accorded him, has brought unusual honor to his state of Pennsylvania so that there is strong talk of making him governor of that state. He will not listen to such a suggestion, as he does not care for a busy political life, but many of his friends are urging him to accept a nomination, believing that he would give such an ideal administration as governor as to force him to the forefront as a presidential candidate in 1908. Secretary Shaw, of the treasury department, who is himself a candidate for the presidency, stated the other day that if Pennsylvania elected an exceptionally able man for governor this year that man would be a formidable dark horse in the presidential race. THE WEARY CONGRESSMEN NEED REST Congress is getting tired. It has now been in session nearly six months and that is considered a pretty long time for these $5,000 officials to attend to public business. There are the inevitable signs of approaching adjournment. Passages on steamships abroad have been engaged, tours of the United States, Canada and New Mexico are projected and many congressmen are studying railway maps and steamship itineraries much more closely than they are legislation. The hot weather is approaching and that always has a deteriorating effect upon enthusiastic statesmanship. After a long winter's work it is pretty hard for the average congressman to keep up the pace with the mercury in the 80's and old "General Humidity" dominating the climate of Washington. LEGISLATION The house has been going along in an ordinary sort of way and is pretty well clear of all sort of legislation. It was the policy of Speaker Cannon and the house leaders to pass the them into the senate in order to direct the attentive upper branch of the national legislature and bring a dilatory body. The senate pays about as amount of criticism as a duck does to a stream of water. senate takes its own good time in disposing of it this time varies. It has spent about three months to spend three hours on an important appl. THE FISHERMEN EAGER FOR THEIR SPOT Speaker Cannon and the house leaders to pass the important bills and throw them into the senate in order to direct the attention of the country to this upper branch of the national legislature and bring criticism upon it as being a dilatory body. The senate pays about as much attention to this sort of criticism as a duck does to a stream of water turned upon its back. The senate takes its own good time in disposing of any piece of legislation, but this time varies. It has spent about three months on the rate bill. It is liable to spend three hours on an important appropriation bill. THE FISHERNEN EAGER FOR THEIR SPORT. When the gray heads of the senate have reached a conclusion the word goes out that by such and such a date congress ought to adjourn. Then the committees get very busy and report the bills that are to pass and they are taken up and disposed of in ample time to allow congress to get away on the date fixed. It is then that the enthusiastic fishermen, as well as the travelers, begin to make preparations for their vacation. Fly books are overhauled, rods unjointed and examined and everything put into ship shape for the senators' summer sport. Old Fishermen like President Pro Tern Frye, Senator Proctor, of Vermont; Senator Du Bols, of Idaho; Senator Spooner, of Wisconsin, and half a dozen other lovers of nature, and the delights of fishing, can hardly wait until the day of adjournment. POTTERY MAN The fishermen of congress each has his own favorite territory. Senator Proctor is one of the millionaire owners of immense fishing pre serves in the almost unknown land of Gaspe he there with his friends and is isolated from the w style and enjoy the real sport of salmon fishing the moose and the caribou. Senator Spooner lo lakcs and would rather have a four-pound base a beat Bailey on a constitutional point. Senator up in idaho and Wyoming and is an expert fisher serves in the almost unknown land of Gaspe in eastern Canada. He goes there with his friends and is isolated from the world. They live in primitive style and enjoy the real sport of salmon fishing and occasionally hunting the moose and the caribou. Senator Spooner loves the northern Wisconsin lakes and would rather have a four-pound bass at the end of his line than to beat Bailey on a constitutional point. Senator Du Bois goes after the trout up in Idaho and Wyoming and is an expert fisherman. ```markdown ``` First $1,000,000 Policy The first $1,000,000 policy ever issued was taken out in 1897 by George Vanderbilt, at the age of 35, in the Mutual. It was a 20-payment life, 20-year distribution policy, that is, he is to pay a yearly premium of $35,000 for 20 years. At the end of that time he will receive a palp-ud policy of $1,000,000 and a cash dividend. If the policy had been taken out 20 years ago, at the same age, he would have paid by this time the sum of $700,000 in premiums, which at four per cent, compound interest would amount to nearly $1,086,000—World's Work. His Pull. Lariat Lem, of Gory Gulch, who had been elected to the legislature, had attended his first session and returned to his admiring constituents. "You don't seem to have had any trouble in catching the speaker's eye, Lem," said one of them. "You bet I didn't!" answered the rising statesman, setting down his glass. "He knew blamed well that if I failed to catch his eye I'd catch his nose the fust time I saw him on the street."—Chicago Tribune. The Third Term. Concerning a third term for president of the United States, De Tocqueville said: "President Washington established the practice of declining a third election, and every one of his successors, either from a sense of its propriety or from apprehensions of the force of public opinion, has followed the example. So that it has become as much a part of the constitution that no citizen can a third time be elected president if it were expressed in that instrument in words." Microbe of Morbidness The mass of people are morbid enough about their food. It is not advisable to seek to add to their terrors by exaggeration. If all could reach the comfortable frame of mind of the man who declared that he could stand it if the microbe could people would be less finicky and perhaps there would be less stomach trouble. Minneapolis Tribune. California's Salt A great California industry is the manufacture of salt from sea water. In Alameda county 100,000 tons were produced last year. Only a few years ago the state imported all its salt. Now it produces enough for its own use—which is enormous, owing to the fisheries and packing houses—and exports large quantities as well. Turkish Postage Stamps. The Turkish government offers a bargain to stamp collectors through its minister at Vienna. Rather more than a million Thessalian stamps are to be withdrawn from circulation. They are of all categories and colors—red, blue, green, etc.—and an open offer is made to sell the lot for $3,000. Jack Has Arrived. Jack Walters, of South Georgia, has made his arrival and didn't bring but seven dogs; said he didn't have room for his family, but that they would come later. You bet Jack will make one more industrious and good neighbor.—Lavonia (Ga.) Times. Business Basis. The count's wife had asked for divorce. "Am I to understand," he asked, "that the arrangement I supposed was a sale was merely a lease." This proved to be about the idea.—Philadelphia Ledger. Boer Claims Awarded The British commission appointed to examine into claims for compensation put forward by noncombatants whose property was injured or destroyed in the Boer war, has finished its labors, after awarding $47,500,000 in damages. Dog in Snake. A New South Wales farmer went out the other day and tied his small dog to a fence. On his return he found a large carpet snake attached to the end of the leash and no signs of the dog. Busy Bill. For the fourth time "Swiftwater" Bill Gates has established an entente cordiale with fortune in the Klondike. It is said his clean-up for this season will be $500,000. Tea in Ireland. Urging the parents to give their children a potato and oatmeal diet instead of tea, the bishop of Galway says if his advice were carried out there would be less lunacy in the country. Giving Too Much When the heart runs away with the head there is sure to follow a feeling of resentment toward the world in general. He Is Numerous. The man who unexpectedly gets two dollars and celebrates by spending five dollars lives in your neighborhood; also in your neighbor's neighborhood. Our Export Trada The United States export trade in South America is but a dollar annually for each of the inhabitants of that continent. Artificial ice is being manufactured in Athens with machinery shipped to Greece from western Pennsylvania. Mexico has awakened to the fact that unless vigorous measures are taken to prevent the wholesale destruction of her forests the country will soon be treeless. Made to Order. If "Burke's Peerage" is unreliable, what must be the books on the genealogy of ambitious American families?—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Vatican's Value. The pope's residence at Rome, with its treasures, in money, is said to exceed $150,000,000 in value Speaking of Women. "One peculiarity about the feminine sex seems to be the impossibility of discussing it with moderation; critics are either violently antagonistic or falsely complimentary," says Lady Violet Greville, in the London Graphic. Ambulance for Dogs The Bristol (Eng.) home for lost and starving dogs has provided an ambulance on cycle wheels for the conveyance of injured dogs to the institution. Sailor's Wish An English sailor on the battleship Albion expressed, when dying in port, a wish to be buried at sea. The Albion went to sea expressly to carry out the wish. The Great Ambition This ambition not to be satisfied with little things is characteristic of men of great hber, and it had a great deal to do in shaping Beecher's career. If he had had an ordinary ambition, he never would have been the power in the world that he was—he never would have become one of the first preachers in the world. A steady stream cannot rise higher than its fountain-head.—Success Magazine. Effective Remedy It is said that a candidate for parliament at the recent English elections, while justifying flogging in the army, remarked: "There is no necessary disgrace in being flogged. I was once flogged myself, and it was for telling the truth, too." "It seems to have cured ye," said a voice from the back of the hall. This story was also first told about Prof. Mahaffy, of Dublin, Father Healy, of Bray, making the retort. How About Defeat? Art has its charms for the illiterate. A copy of "The Winged Victory" was placed last summer in the library of the University of Rochester. A workman assisting in the operation surveyed the headless and armless status with interest. "An' what may ye call that fellow?' he asked. "That's the statue of 'Victory,'" said the librarian. 'Victory' is it?' said the man; begorra, I'd like to see the other fellow, thin." Needed Revision A bill is before parliament for the revision of certain ancient Scottish laws. Among them are: "That na Scottishman bring in the realme ony Inglismen." "That all persons sall cum to Courts in sobry and quiet maner." "That na Inglisman have benefice within Scotland." Also the statute of "wapynaschawingis ridaris and gangaris through the center." Just as We Think Of course there is no future for stale brains, or for a man who stands still and ceasas to grow. He is old who thinks he is old, and useless who thinks he is useless. When a man has ceased to grow he begins to die, and many people are half dead at 50, not because of their age, but because of their mental attitude, because of the way they face life.—Success Magazine. Statues with Top-Hats. Some of the London newspapers are arguing over the number of statues with "top hats" there are in existence. One is a statue of the late President Kruger that never reached Pretoria and lies in a yard at Durban. Mrs. Kruger stipulated that the top of the hat should be left open so as to hold rainwater for the birds. McKinlev's Optimism. "Always peril, and always after them safety always darkness and clouds, but always shining through them the light and the sunshine; always cost and sacrifice, but always after them the fruition of liberty, education and civilization." Need No Rocking. In Alaska the papoos is placed in a kind of waving cradle, into which it is securely tied, the whole being fastened to a young sapling fir planted in the ground in a slanting direction; it moves up and down at the slightest provocation. In summer the baby is left for hours together outside. Got His Dates Mixed At a christening in the wilds of Missouri, while the minister was recording the event, he happened to say: "Let me see—inn't this the 27th?" "I should say not," retorted the indignant mother, "it's only the ninth."—Chicago Daily News. Prefer the Money "Richley's children are all quarreling over his estate." "Why? To see who'll get his valuable art collection?" "No; to see who won't get it."—Detroit Free Press. . - American Brick Co. - President and Treasurer, THOMAS CAREY.

Buns Losing Favor. Only 5,000,000- “hot-cross buns” were consumed in London on Good Friday, indicating the dying out of the custom. The cross-bun is the ‘modern equivalent of the cakes eaten in honor of the Saxon goddess Eostre, irom whose name the word Easter comes. Her worshipers became Chris- tans, but, unwilling to give up the buns, compromised by making them with a cross.

Composite Race Wins With nearly three times as many points to her credit as her nearest competitor, Greece, the United States emerges an easy winner from the greatest and latest of the international atheletic "meets" of the world. A possible reason for American success in this as in other fields is the fact that we are a highly composite breed. We have incorporated into our national body representatives of nearly every race on earth. It is not at all surprising, therefore, that we do more things well than the purer racial strains.—N. Y. Globe. Tabooed by Moslema. The ulemas of the University of Al Azhar have decided as to the phonograph and insurance that there is nothing in Islamic doctrine to forbid Moslems to listen to the phonograph, and that, If the verses of the koran are suitably intoned from the phonograph the listener may be justly considered to be performing an act of worship. Fire and life insurance are, however, condemned by the sheik as a gambling transaction contrary in spirit to the teaching of the koran. "Oooo!" Says the Iceman. The largest mass of ice in the world is probably the one which fills up nearly the whole of the interior of Greenland, where it has accumulated since before the dawn of history. It is believed now to form a block about 600-000 square miles in area, and averaging a mile and a half in thickness. According to these statistics the lump of ice is larger in volume than the whole body of water in the Mediterranean. Japan's Catholic Church. The Nippon Sei Kokwal, or holy Catholic church in Japan, includes all the missions of the American Protestant Episcopal church and the Church of England. In this church there are now more than 12,000 baptized members, of whom 5,985 are communicants. The growth of the church has been very rapid, 1,600 baptisms, two-thirds of them those of adults, having been recorded in a single year. Lace Makers' Complaint A singular complaint is made by 230 people employed in a lace factory at Long Eaton, near Nottingham, England. Opposite the factory are a number of trees in a cemetery. The workmen say that whenever there is the slightest breeze the movement of the branches causes a blinking light, which seriously injures their eyes, the lace work demanding the closest attention. Use of Sugar in Arabia In Arabia the higher-classes use sugar in tea and coffee in their houses, but in the coffee shops in the bazar, where hundreds of people gather in the evening to talk and drink coffee, a cheaper grade of coffee is generally consumed, made of coffee husks principally, and in this drink sugar is seldom used. Roast Reptile. In Australia several kinds of snacks are eaten roasted. They are said to be equal in delicacy and flavor to the finest stewed eels. An English traveler declares the steam from the roasting reptiles is by no means unsavory. Atlantic Fisheries The New England fisheries are the most important branch of the American fishing industry, the aggregate value of their annual catch being about $10,000,000, or one-fourth of the value of the total catch of the United States. African Delicacy The aborigines of South America and Africa consider the guana, a large lizard, a great delicacy. These lizards are not unlike a small crecodile, but are more unsightly than that creature. Swallowed by the Sea. Since the sixteenth century 12 churches, a convent, a hospital and many hundreds of acres of land have been swallowed by the sea in the vicinity of Aldeburgh, England. An Old Story. "Did you ever experience a change of heart?" asked the kind old lady. "Well, I should say!" laughed the girl. "I've been engaged four times." -Detroit Free Press. A Saving Host The Salvation Army has 17,388 workers among children. It comprises 7,219 corps and societies and it has 13,962 officers wholly employed in its service. Phrase of Tilden's. The late Samuel J. Tliden was the originator of the phrase, "Peace in politics; wny, you might just as well expect harmony in Hades." The Small Boy—Look sharp! There's a man fallen in the pond, and his bubbles is the worst language you ever heard.—London Sketch. England's Land Owners. Fully one-third of the land in Great Britain is owned by members of the house of lords. Sweden, France, Germany and Finland have a census taken once in five years. Canada's Lobsters. About 12,000 tons of lobsters are caught and marketed every year in Canada. 2 She Hadn't Seen It. A West Philadelphia family was at supper, one night, talking about the engagement of one of the daughters, whose wedding was soon to be. The negro servant, who acted as waitress, laundress, etc., had just brought into the dining room the dessert, when one of the girls asked: "Virginia, have you seen Edith's flance?" "Laws! I doan know, honey," she replied; "hit ain't been in de wash vit." Lucid as Mud. A woman canvasser in a recent British election campaign asked a laborer whether he was in favor of protection, and he replied by inquiring what it was. The question embarrassed the woman somewhat. She replied: "I cannot go into precise details at the moment, but it is a subject of vital importance to all who care for wild birds." An Odd Ad. The following advertisement comes from the London Times: "Man, K. C. M. P., well known professionally and called a good companion, over 61, destruous to be received as sociable guest. He wishes to be accepted genially by those who would not receive him entirely for gain, and as possibly a small contributor to expenses." Not an Easy Driver. An Atchison man, The Globe says, was showing a fine horse that attracted the attention of a man who was looking for a family horse. "Can a woman drive him?" inquired the would-be purchaser. "Yes, a woman might drive him," replied the owner, "but I would hate to live with the woman that can drive him." Lime Prevents Rust. Unslaked lime is useful in preventing rust because of its extraordinary capacity for absorbing moisture. Some careful workmen who take pains that their tools shall always be in the best condition, make a practice of keeping a piece of lime in their tool boxes to absorb any moisture which might otherwise cause rust.
