DEVELOP THE COMMERCIAL SPIRIT. ORGANIZE TO PROMOTE SUCCESS. A CLEAN PLACE OF BUSINESS. VOL. XV. Comment Org'a THINGS TO BE SEEN. DE SPIRIT. ORGANIZE CESS. A CLEAN P THINGS SEEN. The white man has nothing, he will not turn into money. His dream from the cradle to the grave is money,—more money. He seeks alone and in combinations to keep before the world the wares he has for barter. The West is proverbial in this. "He was a stranger and we took him in." From the golden days of the boom out here the world has been filled with the unsurpassed resources of the mighty and resistless West. The white business man is busy at all times preparing the way for the strange. The daily papers are full of the glittering promises of his daring financial schemes, or heavy with minute details of agricultural, and mining ventures. He leaves no stone unturned that the world may not know what he has for sale and understand the possible financial success he knows all his schemes contain. These things to be seen are prepared and presented by commercial clubs and bodies of experienced business men who seen in every settler increased profit in his business. Almost every town has its commercial club or its carefully organized body of enthusiasts who believe the wealth of Golconda to be within the suburbs of their town. Likewise almost every class of citizens possess some form of commercial organization among themselves devoted to the upbuilding of trades and labor. The Negro alone possesses no such organization, and he goes along through like talking big of business ventures and conducting a haphazard proposition of which his own people are ignorant. The Denver Negro business man does not get the trade of his own people because he does not go after it. The stranger within our gate get an eye full of massive building housing, great dry goods, hardware and grocery emporiums, belonging to white men. He rides to the parks on a street railway built and maintained almost entirely by white labor. This is due largely to the fact that our colored business men are not alive to the value of getting before the people in a tangible way. The many visitors and possible residents should know something of our business men and their possibilities before coming here. Prepare them to see things indicative of progress and prosperity. COMMERCIAL ORGANIZATION. The idea should not obtain that Denver has no business men. This city has probably as many in proportion to population as any other town. We have two successful financial companies, two drug stores, a grocery store, several coal and wood dealers, a first class milliner, lawyers, doctors, dentists, preachers, and a host of politicians. All of these would be directly benefited by a commercial organization that would bring them in closer touch with each other, and the masses. And again, this or ganiazation could be the means of greatly increasing the number of colored employees in Denver. When men of a race reach that stage in their development that they can maintain a financial and loan company for more than seventeen years, own clear of all encumbrances over ten thousand dollars worth of real estate, besides having disbursed many thousands in dividends, and expenses, such men have reached the point where they can help others as well as themselves. Such men are not commercial experiments. They are men of calm judgment and safe counsellers. We can organize for almost every purpose but the improvement of our financial condition. We can build great churches and schools, spend hours, days, and months seeking to promote the political success of a white man, but not a moment to spare for commercial organization. The pity of it! A LITTLE POLITICAL: We wonder sometimes if any of our people realize the vast amount of time spent working politics. We have more politicians among us than any other class. This class is constantly increasing. They do much for the other fellow and little for the race. Here in Denver the number of unemployed politicians is largely out of proportion to the population. Almost every colored man you meet has a tale of woe. All want to be leaders and at the top. The governor and mayor would have few places left if they should undertake to hand the big pieces of pie to our boys. And our boys want only the big pieces. Denver is a big city with many miles of streets to be cleaned. To do this work a small army is maintained. Watch this "army of DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JUNE 19, 1909. State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House ronizing Th RADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, white wings" and see how many Negroes are enlisted. How much better it would be for the Negroes of Denver to have twenty, thirty, or fifty men at work helping to clean the streets instead of one big place to one lone Negro. Let these politicians who desire to be leaders do something tangible. The white merchants, bankers and business men demands a return for the places given to politicians in the world of business. For, after all, successful business is the sum of all living. And it is of greater value to the business and professional men of our race to have fifty Negroes regularly employed by the city than one. This is along the Jewish idea of getting most for your money. Get the most for your sufferage. Let the Negro politician understand that he must deliver the goods. More money for the masses. A NEGRO STORE. It was a real pleasure the other day to walk by a colored man's place of business and look in. First of all the walks in front had been swept clean and the windows washed clean. The interior was plainly discernible from the walk. The stock of goods, through small was neatly and tastefully arranged on the shelves, the window decoration displayed judgment and ability. The place was clean and neat, and the owner looked the part. This tells its own story if you want trade make your places inviting. It matters not what your business may be, selling groceries drugs, taking roomers, etc., keep your place clean and inviting. The Negro business man owes this to his patrons. Get your business before the people. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Fifteen citizens of Alton, Ill., including Mayor Edward Beall, all of whom were members of the city council ten years ago, must pay the state of Illinois $2,500.53 as the cost of the court contest started by the refusal of the school board, ten years ago, to admit the children of Scott Bibb to the schools. The decision holding the fifteen men responsible for the cost was handed down by Chief Justice Hand of the Supreme Court of Illinois. It was stated that the only recourse of the defendants was to get a relief bill passed by the present council for their reimbursement. Miss Gurtrude E. Curtis bears the distinction of being the first negro woman dentist of the state of New York, and probably of the east, having passed with credit the state dental board and received her --- diploma to practice dentistry by the New York College of Dental and Oral Surgery, an institution that ranks second in this country as a dental college. Dr. Curtis is a member of this year's class which held its commencement exercises Monday evening May 31 in Mendelssohn Hall. There were thirty-seven graduates. Dr. Curtis is a native of Bradford, Pa., and in 1902 graduated from the Bradford high school with high honors. Out of the class of thirty-seven students there were three other negro graduates besides Dr. Curtis, namely, Doctors Alonzo Sterling, Frank Chambers and George Wright. Eight medals were awarded the graduates, three of which were received by the Negro students. Dr. Curtis was the only young woman member out of seven to get a medal, one having been awarded her for the best thesis on pyorrhoea alveolaris. Dr. Chambers received a medal for chemistry and Dr. Sterling for bridge work. Negro gladiators have figured prominently in the fistic competition for nearly sixty years, but never before have they held such a copper riveted strangle hold on everything in sight worth having as they hold at this moment. Not only is Jack Johnson champion of America and of the world, but Joe Jeannette, another American Negro, is champion of France, and a third one, Sam Langford, is champion of England, Ireland and Wales. Langford recently defeated Ian Hague, the English heavyweight, for the title in four rounds. Samuel is now hot on the trail of Johnson. The pair met once, and the latter received the decision, but Langford points to the fact that when he and Johnson met some years ago he (Langford) weighed about 140 pounds to 200 for Johnson and that the latter got so spirited a thumping from the smaller man that he has no further desire for a meeting. Langford declares that he has now grown much heavier and would enter the ring at about 170 pounds. At this weight he is confident he would be able to make it still more interesting for the champion. CASS COUNTY NEGRO COLONY ONE OF RICHEST TO BE FOUND. Niles, Mich., June 11.—In the township of Calvin, Cass county, there has grown up within the past few decades a community affording much material for study to those persons who persistently decry the equality of races. It is no less than a community of Negroes overrunning that township and part of Porter who, thrown entirely upon their own resources, have developed unexpected power of self government, marked ability in financial matters and an unusual tact in the handling of the vexed questions which will always arise where white and black are thrown together in business unity. Beginning in poverty they have progressed to affluence; starting in illiteracy their every child is now a pupil in the school; given the right of self government with no preparation for it and no conception of its value they have gradually risen to the same height to which their white brothers stand. Booker T. Washington says that the development of the Negro race rests almost entirely upon the opportunities given its members for self direction under hardship. The average white will assume that the Negro has no power of imitation and that there is no ability in the Negro race to make continuous and unaided progress toward a civilization. A visit to southern Cass county will do more in one day to dispel this belief and to uphold Mr. Washington's statement than would a month of argument. The story of the inception of this settlement which now occupies all of Calvin and a large part of Porter township, is interesting. It dates as far back as 1840, at which time these two townships were inhabited mainly by Quakers who had left their former homes in the south because they did not approve of slavery. These Quakers gradually let it be known that runaway slaves would find a welcome among them, and about the date named a few Negroes refugees began to find their way into these townships. The number grew larger yearly and the vicinity gradually blossomed into a regular station on the old underground railroad. The township of Calvin now has a population of 159 Negroes and 512 whites, making Negroes supreme and giving them a member upon the board of county supervisors. In addition there is a large Negro population in Porter township adjoining and a less number in all parts of the county. A drive through the region today will reveal nothing different from the average township in the state, except that the faces of the inhabitants are black. The farms compare favorably, many of the houses are large, attractive and well built; the yards are made beautiful with grass; shrubbery and flowers and the barns, poultry, stock and other farm attachments are in keeping. Some of the Negro residents are among the most prosperous men in the township. "Bill" Allen, a stock raiser and trader, has as high a standing for honesty and ability at the Chicago stockyards as has his average white brother. He owns 700 acres of land and has 400 head of stock on his place all paid for. Allen was justice of the peace in Calvin township for nineteen years and resigned finally be- NO. 40 cause it took too much of his time from his farm. Samuel Hawkes pays the largest tax of anyone, white or black, in Calvin township. He owns 500 acres of land and is said on good authority to be worth $50,000. C. W. Bunn, another Negro in the township, owns two saw mills and much real estate, and is reputed to be worth a similar amount. Cornelius Lawson, who has been supervisor of the township for ten years, is a Negro. He has lived here since 1853 and was elected justice of the peace in 1878, retaining the office until three years ago. In 1889 he was elected supervisor and has been re-elected yearly ever since. He is a farmer, as is practically every other Negro man in the township. There are eight schools in the township, four of which are taught by Negroes and controlled by Negro school officials. Regular services are held in three churches, two of which are Methodist and Baptist respectively, are attended by Negroes and have Negro pastors. Both have neat and attractive buildings. There is a Negro band in the community and there are two Negro physicians in the township. The ability of the Negro for self government is evidenced by the fact that there is no apparent friction between whites and blacks at election time and that the affairs of the township are conducted as well politically as are those of any in the county. For six years it has been the boast of the Calvin tax collector that he was one of the first to secure and pay over all of the township taxes.—Kalamazoo Evening Press. COLORED BISHOP FLEES— RACE RIOT IMMINENT Greenville, Miss., June 14. Threatened with lynching because he rebuked a telephone operator for not calling his daughter "Miss." Bishop E. W. Lampton of the A. M. E. church, the most prominent Negro in Mississippi, has fled from his home here. A race riot is imminent. Potato Soup. Pare and cut into dice three potatoes, cover with water, add a piece of butter and a little onion, if liked, and boil until done. Then add a quart of sweet milk. While this heats make a dough by rubbing one tablespoonful of lard into a small cup of flour with a half teaspoonful of baking powder in it; add milk to make a stiff dough, roll thin, cut into strips or small squares, drop in when milk comes to a boil, cover, and boil ten minutes; season with pepper, salt and a little finely chipped parsley or thyme. Egg and Cheese Salad. Slice ten hard-boiled eggs and place a layer on small lettuce leaves arranged on a platter. Grate over this thick covering of cheese, then a few finely-chopped pickles, then the eggs, cheese, and so on until the eggs are used up. Put salad dressing over each mound and a tablespoon of cheese on top of this. This makes a pretty dish. y \4 , y ™ ‘ GARMENT: STORE 925-167 ST.-—: OPP.

The attendance of teachers was considered very large for the opening session and it is expected to reach at least 500 in the next few days “The Denver convention promises to exceed in numbers any convention of recent years and to equal in excel- lence the great Cleveland convention of 1908,” is a statement recently is- sued by Dr, Lorenzo D. Harvey, prest- dent, and Professor Irwin Shepard, secretary, of the National Educational Association, which holds its _forty- seventh annual convention in Denver July 5th-9th, A violent hailstorm, which is said to be the worst in the city’s history, struck Trinidad on the 18th inst. and caused severe damage to trees and or- chards and caused the streams to swell and wash out a great number of cul- yerts and small bridges. The storm was more or less local, as it did not reach any of the surrounding camps and confined itself to a district of about five miles in all directions. At the office of the Stratton estate in Colorado Springs, it is reported that Mrs. Lillian Stratton Cobb Shelton, daughter of Mrs, Virginia Cobb, sister of the late W. S.

As there is only one genuine Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna and as the gen- uine is manufactured by an original method known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only, it is always necessary to buy the genuine to get its beneficial effects. A knowledge of the above facts enables one to decline imitations or to return them if, upon viewing the package, the full name of the California Fig Syrup Co. is not found printed on the front thereof.

A matron of the most determined character was encountered by a young woman reporter on a country paper, who was sent out to interview lead: ing citizens as to their politics. “May I see Mr. ——?” she asked of a stern- looking woman who opened the door at one house. “No, you can't,” an- swered the matron, decisively. “But I want to know what party he belongs to," pleaded the girl. The woman drew up her tall figure. “Well, take 8 good look at me,” she said, “I'm the Party he belongs to!” | Overcome Adversity. | The waves which sorrow lashes up around us stand high between us and the world and make our ship solitary in the midst of a haven full of vessels.

Jurious effects of coffee and the change in health that Postum can bring, they are glad to lend their testimony for the benefit of others, A superintendent of public schools in one of the southern states says: “My mother, since her early child- hood, was on inveterate coffee drinker, had been troubled with her heart for a number of years and complained of that ‘weak all over’ feeling and sick stomach. “Some time ago I was making an off- cial visit to a distant part of the coun- try and took dinner with one of the merchants of the place. I noticed a somewhat peculiar flavour of the cof- fee, and asked him concerning it. He replied that it was Postum, “I was so pleased with it, that after the meal was over, I bought a package to carry home with me, and had wife prepare some for the next meal, The whole family were so well pleased with it, that we discontinued coffee and used Postum entirely. “E had really been at times very ‘anxious concerning my mother’s con- dition, but we noticed that after using Postum for a short time,she felt so ‘much better than she did prior to its use, and had little trouble with her heart and no sick stomach; that the ‘headaches were not so frequent, and her general condition much improved, ‘This continued until she was as well and hearty as the rest of us. “I know Postum has benefited my- self and the other members of the family, but not in so marked a de- gree as in the case of my mother, as she was a victim of long standing.” Read, “The Road to Wellville,” in pkgs. “There's a Reason.” a ees ete aes De Seatine: “trues: and! teller: kamae Why Not? “Say, paw,” queried little Tommy Toddles, “what is a lambkin?” “A lambkin, my boy,” answered Toddles, Sr., “is a little lamb.” “Then, paw,” continued Tommy, “I s'pose the little nap you take after dinner is a napkin, ain’t 1t?”—Chicago News.

SQUARE DEAL REQUIRED HONEST PLAN, FAIR PRICE TO STATE, PROTECTION TO FINAL PURCHASERS. Denver.—The Republican Thursday morning says: In an informal meeting, held yesterday morning at the Capitol, the state land board announced its policy in regard to large land and irrigation companies, and great reclamation projects in Colorado, to a committee from the Pueblo Chamber of Commerce. Through its spokesman, Senator A. T. Stewart, the committee asked that the land board co-operate with the Orlando Ditch company, which is contemplating the irrigation and development of 60,000 acres of arid land in the southern part of the state. The only two members of the board present, Secretary of State James B. Pearce and Attorney General John Barnett, told the committee that they would take the matter under consideration, but that, although the board was zealous for the development of the state, the greatest care is to be used from this time on in seeing that the rights of the individual purchaser, and the private farmer into whose hands the holdings of the large land companies will eventually come, shall be fully protected. The committee asked that the land board sell Frank H. Allison, manager of the Orlando Ditch company, the land required for the immense project at a reasonable rate. The board replied that it would be pleased to do so if after a thorough examination by the state engineer, the value of the land and the water to be put on the tract, could be valued so that subsequent holders could not be charged exorbitant rates for irrigated farms. The members of the committee expressed themselves as well satisfied with the attitude of the land board, and Senator Stewart stated that if the Orlando Ditch company was a reliable concern, as he believed it was, no objection could be had to the policy of the land board. Secretary Pearce, in speaking of the action of the board in the informal meeting, said yesterday afternoon: "It is our intention to see that the farmer shall be protected when he comes to be the ultimate and individual owner of a tract of land improved by the large companies. He must be especially protected as to water rights and not forced to pay rates far in advance of the true value of his holdings." "To make the matter clearer, I will say that it is to be the policy of the land board to allow land to go to large bona fide companies for the development of Colorado, and at the same time protect the small owner. We believe that the irrigation companies should make good profits, but not swollen, unfair fortunes out of the natural resources of Colorado. The attitude of the board on the question may be summed up in three sentences—first, we want to see if the scheme is on the square; second, we are determined that a fair price shall be paid for the land taken over, and, third, we will see that the individual owner is protected and not subjected to exorbitant prices for water rights." Greeley Expects New Railroads. Denver.—A Republican special from Greeley Tuesday says: Tomorrow work begins on the new electric street car line and at the same time the city will start grading and gravelling Seventh avenue, on which the line will run. The road is to be completed and cars running by August 1. D. A. Canfield, B. H. Sanborn and another member of the Commercial Club have been named to present to officers of the Union Pacific the proposition of bringing the Julesburg branch into Greeley, instead of LaSalle. It is said this has been favorably considered by the Union Pacific. The track into LaSalle can be used for freight, but all passenger service from the East to Denver will then come through Greeley. By this Greeley will become a railway division point second only to Denver and Pueblo. The Burlington road is expected to announce its intention of coming to Greeley before the month is out and will probably connect its Greeley line with one built from Hudson through the Beebe Draw country. Officers of the several interurban electric companies say they will not retire from the field. Failing to agree on a verdict as to the guilt or innocence of Felice Martinez, charged with murdering Patrolman F. H. Barner at Pueblo, the jury was discharged by District Judge C. S. Essex. The jury was out over twenty-four hours before it was decided that an agreement could not be reached. C. H. O'Brien, arrested at Las Animas, charged with the forgery of checks, was taken to Trinidad, when it developed that his name is Jack Weaver, and he is on parole from Buena Vista, where he was sent from Fueblo for forgery. PRESIDENT ASKS FOR INCOME TAX BUT BELIEVES THAT CONSTITU TIONAL AMENDMENT WILL BE NECESSARY. IN A SPECIAL MESSAGE WOULD ALSO LEVY TWO PER CENT. TAX ON INCOME OF CORPORATIONS. Washington.—Recommending legislation looking to the placing of a two per cent. tax on the net income of corporations, and also the adoption of an amendment to the constitution providing for the imposition of an income tax without an apportionment among the several states, President Taft Wednesday sent to Congress a message embodying his views on the subject. In his message the President speaks of the apparent inability of Congress to agree to an inheritance tax, and as regards an incore tax he refers to the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of Pollock vs. the Farmers' Loan and Trust Company, in which the court held the tax to be unconstitutional unless apportioned according to population. "It is," says the President, "undoubtedly a power which the government ought to have. It might be indispensable to the nation's life in great crises." The amendment, he declares, was the only proper course. Such an amendment to the constitution, he contends, was preferable to the one proposed of reviving a law judicially declared to be unconstitutional. The amendment which he says should be made to the tariff bill provides for the imposition on all corporations and joint stock companies for profit, except national banks (otherwise taxed), savings banks and building and loan associations, of an excise tax of two per cent on the net income of said corporations. This, it is estimated by him, will bring an annual revenue of $25,000,000. "This is a tax on privilege and not on property," he says, "and is within the federal power without apportionment according to population." The President points out that another merit of the tax on corporations is the federal supervision which will give to the government, the stockholders and the public knowledge of the real business transacted and the gains and profits of every corporation in the country. The adoption of the amendment, he says, will make a long step "toward that supervisory control of corporations which may prevent a further abuse of power." Troops Guard Wyoming Jall. Basin, Wyo.—A company of state troops, in command of Lieut. Clarence Williams, has arrived here from Cody to guard the county jail. There is little fear of an attempted jail delivery but it was thought best to take no chances of the murderers of Allemand, Emge, and Lazier, the Spring Creek sheepmen, who were slain several weeks ago, and two of their number incinerated in the sheep wagons, which were destroyed, being liberated by their friends, or injured by persons who have been loud in their condemnation of the outrage. More Irrigation Plans. The State Board of Land Commissioners on the 10th inst. approved the application of the Wyoming Land and Irrigation Company for an additional segregation of 2,000 acres of land to come under the Shell canal project at Big Horn. This will bring about 12,000 acres under the entire ditch at a total cost of about $265,000. The application of William F. Johnson for the segregation of 2,000 acres to come under the Agate ditch at Big Horn was also granted, the estimated cost being about $13,500. The sale of a tract of 160 acres at Glendo was ordered. The land was appraised at $16 an acre. An interesting teature of the meeting of the National Educational Association in Denver next month will be the meeting in Unity Church of the teachers of the Indian schools of the country. As there are over 6,000 Indian school teachers in the employ of the government, it is expected that the meeting will be well attended. A number of Indian school pupils will be brought to Denver especially to show what progress has been accomplished in the work. SuperIntendent C. E Burton of the Grand Junction Indian School will bring the orchestra of the institution to Denver and a large exhibit will be installed. Night Rider Feud in Missouri. Cowgill, Mo.—Farmers working in the fields near Taitsville, fifteen miles south of here, are doing so with rifles slung over their shoulders. This condition was caused by the murder from ambush of Clyde Hatfield, a young farmer, last Sunday, and the shooting of Henry Barry by "night riders" May 30th. The feeling in Taitsville is that several men must die or move from the community before the feud ends and peace is restored. Every house in the Taitsville district is supplied with firearms.

All men who deserve success do not win it, for life is short and individuals may die before truth comes into its own. But great races of men are practically perpetual and their virtues are practically sure to win their deserved reward. Herein is the solution of race problems. All superficial clamoring and raging and all meek supplicating and longing will avail nothing but the wasting of time and strength, for in the natural course of existence, the fittest survive and the weakest perish. THE BURDEN OF POVERTY. THAT it is no disgrace to be poor, but mighty inconvenient, is an old saying. However, the world has changed so much since this old saying was invented that its application in present day conditions is supremely doubtful. We like to console ourselves with excuses for poverty and for failures, and because the masses of humanity are individually poor, it is easy to agree that a condition so universally common is not a disgrace. But poverty often becomes so abject and mean as to be uncommon, and those who fall below the common level invite the impatience and disgust of the many, who look upon this uncommon condition as due to the utter carelessness and shamelessness of voluntary beggary. When this condition extends over an entire race or a nation, there can be no doubt that it creates and firmly establishes in the minds of other peoples and other nations a decided measure of contempt, which is nothing short of disgrace. Charity and pity may soften convictions, but the spirit of this hard-hearted, commercial age writes disgrace after the name of every poverty-stricken man or nation. But this is true and natural only when that poverty can be helped, and because of laziness or shamelessness, and will not help itself. This is the fate of the profligate, the wasteful, the aimless, the careless, the thoughtless and the criminal. A great part of the burden of the Negro race is its poverty. After we point with price to the progress that the race has made in fifty years, we must still acknowledge that we are burdened with poverty. What a comparatively few individuals may acquire in the way of wealth will not materially reduce the burden. The standing of the race is fixed by the conditions surrounding the masses, and individual Negroes of wealth cannot fully escape the force of that conviction lying against their race because of its poverty. The obligation, therefore, is general, to build the whole race to a higher level. The wealthy Negroe's obligation is to use his wealth to extend business, commercial and educational enterprises among his people. The obligation of the poor is to reduce their wastefulness, restrain their appetites for extravagant eating and living, and for indulgence in immoderate pleasures; to save, save, save at every turn, and to strive and strive for the possession of land and of homes and for the creation of business relations which will tend to lift their race out of the slough of poverty and give it a foothold in the great world of wealth. MR. TAFT'S SOUTHERN POLICIES PRESIDENT TAFT is getting on very well in the matter of introducing his policies intended to conciliate and re-assure the South, for he has given the peculiar double-wheel arrangement several serious turns. These policies combine the intention, expressed in his inaugural address, to make no appointments of colored men to offices located in communities or sections where the effect would be to stir up resentment and race feeling among the greater portion of the people, and the intention, expressed to politicians privately, to consider judicial appointments above the plane of party affiliation, and, because of their great and grave importance, while considering the recommendations of Senators, to make them particularly appointments of his own choosing, because of the fitness of the individual, and regardless of his political beliefs. Along the lines of these intentions he has appointed white men to fill various important offices in the South to which President Roosevelt had appointed colored men, including the collector of the port at Charleston, S. C., and has also appointed a Democrat a Federal District Judge in Alabama and another in North Carolina. For the first of these policies colored men have shown a commendable degree of toleration, for while many have feared that the gains of twenty years were being sacrificed to malignant Southern sentiment, there has been a disposition to await the outcome of the experiment, in the hope of peace and the belief that the President would make up the quota of patronage due the race by an increased number of appointments in the North and West, where they would not be objectionable, although, as yet, neither hope nor belief has been justified; but the second of these policies has aroused no little protest among white Republicans, who can see no political virtue nor administrative advantage in the repulsion of thousands of Republican voters and the depreciation of able and worthy representatives for the whimsical advancement of a conciliatory idea. The general result seems to indicate a probable readjustment of late Republican tendencies rather than a permanent demoralization in the party's ranks, and if the administration can escape the usual fate of reformers and idealists, it will have to develop a genius greater than that of any preceeding administration in the history of the country.

PORTER, Prop WOMAN'S REALM ECONOMY IN DRESS POINTS OF ESPECIAL INTEREST TO BUSINESS WOMAN. Garments That Seem Expensive Really Are the Cheapest in the End—Important Essentials for Workaday Neatness. It would be absurd to make the statement that there are fashions designed especially for business women. The woman who goes forth to wrest her bread from the hands of strangers is not a species apart from the rest of womankind, but one with her sisters and entitled to every little vanity for which she can pay. But it is necessary to put the curb on this privilege with actual business garments, for custom has made a certain plainness desirable for these. This plainness is accomplished most often by a coat and skirt suit of some S sort, which is always kept in good condition with pressing and cleaning, and is worn with a neat shirtwalt, trim White Swiss, Lace and Ribbon Used by the Most Fashionable Makers of Costumes. Even the most fashionable dressmakers lend their talents to the making of most attractive negligees of white swiss, lace and ribbon. This wash fabric has come into more favor for the kind of garment one wears in one's own room or for breakfast and luncheon with the family alone. The swiss is fine and has a small dot, and the negligee is usually made in two pieces, put together on one belt, which is covered by a broad sash of colored satin. This is often high-waisted at back and is finished at the left with a large rosette and two long ends. The neck is open, in V-shape, and finished with deep lace ruffles and a bow of satin at the back. The tight elbow sleeves are finished with deep lace ruffles and a bow of satin at the back. Such negligees are cooler and fresher than those of silk or other materials that do not wash. The classical large hat that never goes really out of fashion will be seen this summer for large functions and ceremonious occasions. It is trimmed this season with a bouquet of ostrich tips, set far back to the left side and at the back. Instead of the tips, the long "amazone" is sometimes used, but the tips are the newest and smartest. More science goes to the placing of these feathers than might be imagined. The balance of the silhouette depends greatly on the trimming of the hat, and it is her understanding of this principle that makes the Parisian milliner so successful. To Keep Flies Off. A charming gift for the new baby, and one that is seldom given, is a cover to slip over the baby carriage, or crib, while the infant sleeps. This should be made of wash net, of a fine mesh, bound all around with three-inch white satin ribbon. Use the full width of the double net and cut the corner either square or oblong, as it adapts itself to the size of the crib or coach. hat and well-fitting gloves and boots. This model is by far the best to choose when only one business frock can be afforded, but it should be of excellent material and good make. The shirtwaist bought for the office or store cannot be too good as far as its make and quality are concerned, for cheap waists wash badly, and no other garment gives so completely the look of inadequacy when it 'is the wrong thing. Quite six wash bodices are necessary for workaday neatness, and the peter pan model, whose sleeves are somewhat though not greatly smaller than last year, is a good one to consider, especially when it is in stout linen, duck or pongee. A stock in golf design, of the shirt material, is a very smart and inexpensive neck finish for the business shirtwalt, and this comfortable and orderly neck fixing is becoming to most wearers. A hat which seems to be getting more notice this season than any other is the mushroom shape, which, when not of exaggerated size, with its compact trimmings provides a stylish headpiece for business wear. Some of the rough straw shapes in this model are very simply decked with flat bands of black velvet and close bunches of some fruit. The fruit trimmings will doubtless be run in the ground after a while, but meantime the gay cherries, and dusky plums, and dear, foolish little apples and gooseberries seem very charming. Other neat hats may be of Cuban straw, with fringed scarfs of striped ruffia, belts and handbags of the same material going smartly with these. With the black dresses so much worn for business the raffia gives a fresh and new note when used in this way, and it will be really delightful with the ponge dresses later on. As to the business woman's best bib and tucker, and the material for her workaday frock, with the stylish designs here shown, are good examples. The cut shows a stunning model for a wool or wash business dress. The line of the diagonally fastened coat is repeated in the trimming of the skirt, and though a braid is here employed a stitched band of the gown stuff could readily effect the smart outlining. Black or dark blue serge, panama cloth, or brilliantine, with hercules braid, would be the best choices for this dress, which could be worn with the mushroom hat, a wide sailor or a flower trimmed shape. A black dress would be immensely smartened by a flower hat, but do not forget that the natural colored roses would be out of place for business wear. Then they have been almost entirely replaced by the faded flowers, whose unearthly tints, when properly combined, create an effect actually restrained. A woman fond of elegance, and who suffers from summer heat, might have this dress of black, blue or brown pongee, in which case the parasol would be of the same material. HAS MANY USEFUL PURPOSES. Easily Made Work Case Valuable for a Variety of Constantly Used Household Implements. One of those useful little work cases which always make such acceptable gifts may be seen in our sketch, and with a little care and ingenuity can easily be made by any one blessed with clever fingers. The outer case should be of strong silk or brocade, lined with wash-leather, and bound at the edges with narrow ```markdown ``` ribbon. Little wash-leather pockets are provided for the scissors, and will help to keep them bright and in good condition when not in use, and there are straps of ribbon arranged to hold bodkins, a button-hook, a stilletto and a thimble in the center, while other straps for holding packets of needles are provided on the flaps of either side. There is a larger flap at the top, which folds down over the other two, and is finally tied across with ribbon ends. This flap is furnished with several pieces of flannel, which serve the purpose of a needle-book. High Canvas Shoes. For those who like to wear high shoes during summer there are some smart canvas ones in white and tan. They are undoubtedly much cooler than leather and in better taste for street wear than suede.

I want to give you each an apple before you are married." said the man who had made the noise. And in he calmly walked and handed each of them a Grimes Golden. It was one man's idea of a joke.—Kansas City Journal. Sees Final Victory Over Tuberculosis Dr. William Osler says: "Whether tuberculosis will be finally eradicated is an open question. It is a foe that is very deeply intrenched in the human race. Very hard it will be to eradicate completely, but when we think of what has been done in one generation, how the mortality in many places has been reduced more than 50 per cent.—indeed, in some places 100 per cent.—it is a battle of hope, and so long as we are fighting with hope, the victory is in sight."

Scratching made it worse. Thousands of small red pimples formed and these caused intense itching. I was advised to go to the hospital for diseases of the skin.

I can barely mention these phases as time and space forbid amplifications. 1. Home Buying and Building Versus Rented Property—In the South it is a disgrace to live in rented property; (a.) three, four, five and six room houses as against the one and two room cabin of other days; (b.) artistic home decoration versus household junk; (c.) consideration of life, air, ventilation and health in the home where these things were not thought of in the past. 2. Changing Views of Education—The tendency in the South as elsewhere is to make education count for something tangible; not culture for culture sake only, but culture for service; not theoretical education, but practical; not mechanism, but commercialism; an education that can do something as well as be something. 3. Heretofore the trades, artisans and labor of the South has been the Negroe's exclusive privilege, but there is a growing disposition to branch out. The three professions, ministers, doctors and lawyers, today are being supplemented by still other occupations such as insurance, banking and business enterprises of many and various kinds. 4. There is found in the South a growing acquaintance and respect for fundamentals in morals and religion versus the sensual and emotionalism of the past. In fact, the whooping, howling, leather-lunged sons of thunder find less congenial hearers and followers in the South than in many of the congregations of the North and East. 5. One of the surest signs of getting away from the past lies in the conventions and assembly gatherings. The Negro is a great lover of associations, conferences and conventional bodies. It affords social intercourse and opportunities to display his eloquence and learning. Here all of his sophomoric oratory and pent up enthusiasm is given ample room for display. His parliamentary knowledge and skill as a dialectician is brought into service, but for the sake of higher good and to bring to pass results, he is learning to forego these things in the interest of making these assemblies practical schools of method and bringing about Chatauqua plans. The last meeting of the National Baptist Sunday School Congress and Baptist Young People's Chatauqua held at the writer's church in Jacksonville, Fla., was a revelation to the race as well as to the old-time convention bosses and veterans. There was no election of officers, no discussion or wire pulling on the time and place of the next meeting, no long, tiresome appeals for collection; in fact, most of the conventional things were done away with and a new system of methods inaugurated, the effect of which was revolutionizing in its results. 6. Growth of substantial and genuine fraternity spirit in the lodges and benevolent organizations versus regalia, paraphernalia and brass band display is another hopeful sign of progress in the South. Every fraternity has property and commodious halls of their own—Masons, Oddfellows, Pythians and Good Samaritans being in the lead. There is a spirit developing among these organizations that instead of allowing their surplus funds to lie idle in the banks to tempt treasurers and trust officers, to put these idle funds into service in building up commercial enterprises, hence department stores and small businesses of every conceivable kind are being assisted by the purchase of stock through funds of these orders, thus associating and identifying them with commercial enterprises. 7. The seventh and last helpful sign of race uplift, for we have limited rather than expanded these evidences of racial progress, lies in enforced temperance. Prohibition has made its greatest gains in the South, with Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, and large portions of Texas, South Carolina, Kentucky, Arkansas and Florida, in the dry columns. The Negro is beginning the awful mistake and fatal results of giving away his strength and money to the booze shops. The whole police and criminal system has been supported by the Negro, but today this is being changed and instead of the Negro increasing in criminal tendencies, the jails, prison stockades and chain gangs are not being recruited as in the past. In some of the county jails in Florida which I have visited there is not a single Negro prisoner, the jail doors stand open and what few prisoners that may be incarcerated are whites instead of blacks as heretofore. Here, indeed, is one of the greatest and most hopeful signs of racial progress. In these seven particulars above mentioned are to be seen evidences that the race is not retrograting as some of our accusers would have us believe, but is gradually and surely advancing in the upward climb and fitting themselves for a higher and better citizenship as well as a higher and more profitable service—the contrary notwithstanding.
