EVILS O WANTED RACE LEADERS DOUGLASS AND WASH POLITICAL EVILS. RACE LEADERS—WHERE? In these days one hears much about race leaders, and leading men and women of the race. Between the two there is a vast difference. One may be a leading member as the term is commonly used without possessing the faintest traces of the elements of real leadership. The average leading man has this distinction thrust upon him because of some achievement which raises him above his fellow-man in the same line. The real leader is one who lays aside selfish agrandizement, and labors diligently in season and out of season for the cause espoused or the race to which he belongs and for whose glory and advancement his life and being is dedicated. The world has witnessed many examples of such heroic leadership. Men, who refusing the certain honors of the enemies, would gather the spears into their breast rather than sacrifice their people. The real leader not only watches the enemies of the race, but like the true friend studies carefully and every action and fearlessly tells us of our faults. He knows the evils of the race points them out and suggests a remedy. On the whole, he is one who loves the race more than self. We have not produced many of this type since the war. Aside from B ooker Washington with his passive policy toward the aggerssions of the other race, and his positive, constructive policy towards ourselves, few have gotten into the lime light. True there have been many who have in a more humble way have helped to lay the foundations of a great future, and these will continue. But what the race needs today is men of more courage as leaders. This class of men must be found in our pupils, in our professional class, among business men. Men who know the evils of the race and dare tell us of our faults. POLITICAL LEADERS. It perhaps would not be correct to omit the politicians. Very few of our politicians have risen to the level of a statesman. Here again Douglass and Washington stand alone. Douglass because as a lion he roared forever for the manhood rights of his people. Washington in spite of his well known reticence and his absolute refusal to become a partison. The average Negro politician leader owes his elevation to the white man. Filled with a knowledge of the slums of the race he is selected because it is supposed he can control the habitues of the crap games and gambling districts. He is paid in an office or cheap notoriety. The great mass of Negro voters spurn and repudiate this class of leaders. They are ready and willing to follow leaders whose interests in political affairs rise above mere office seeking. Many of the evils of the race can be traced to the politically protected dives, gambling houses, and other places of disrepute. These places are corrupting our young men and destroying our young womanhood. Someone must have the moral courage to denounce these evils and demand their destruction. Speaking of these evils to a prominent divine of our race, he said "I dare not attack them from my pulpit, because it would affect the financial income of my church." Lord have mercy on the preacher and congregation. A big politician close up to the throne of grace says that he cannot afford to touch these matters since to do so would mean political death. Here is a leader without a following of any value to himself or the party. Yet the evils of the race continue to follow and increase in each generation. WHATSOEVER WE SOW. What we sow as indicated by the sublime parable of the Nazarene, we reap. The petty evils against which we deery at this time are cursing the race and sapping its life and blood. The patrol wagon hauled to the police station a few days ago a load of our socalled best people, for drinking and disturbing the peace. The spectacle of lurid pictures of our women and men destroying homes and young girls, yet retaining a place among those who should be the bulwark of the race. The extravagance practiced in our homes by those by who would ape the wealthy white by whom they are employed is wrecking families and creating distress. The evil of to much social spread and function is stealing dollars from our surplus and leaving us to gaze in the face of poverty. There is much for the real leader to do, let him come from any walk DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, AUGUST 14, 1909.

The July 30th issue of the Montana Plaindealer was the best ever. We can truthfully say because four columns of its matter was prepared in this office. Good Natured "Joe Bass" Editor did not steal it. He simply forgot to credit The Colorado Statesman, the paper for the people everywhere. A CRUCIAL TEST. Once before a mighty expidition, the great Napoleon said to his brave legions in glittering array: "Remember the eyes of Europe are upon you." And the colored people must remember that the eyes of mankind are upon them. The colored man is on trial before the world. Once the judgment of a large part of humanity was that the colored man was but a slight remove from the brute creation; had no soul and was fit only for slavery and degradation. That barbarous verdict has been reversed by the stern logic of facts. Now the colored man is conceded to be a man, but of an inferior type in the qualities that constitute racial greatness. How long shall this judgment remain? The colored people have before them a task never before presented to a race hitherto beneath the stars. Races have fought wars of conquests. People have fought to establish and overthrow dynasties. Nations have fought to establish and destroy religions. Governments have fought to throw off the tyrannical yoke of kingly despots. Races have fought for personal liberty. But no race hitherto ever had to combat the combined sentiment of mankind to establish its character. The colored race is fighting for all that makes life dear on earth or in heaven—character. Shall we prove equal to the momentous task, or disgracefully, ignominiously, eternally fail? Shall we stamp as true the estimate placed upon us? Heaven forbid! The colored race is an infant amid the civilization of the age—an infant in thought and deed. But we must realize and feel our position in the world, and a stalwart pride and ambition must be engendered, which, like a mighty conflagration, will consume the wicked opinions and prejudices of men, and like a pillar of fire by night light the race to nobler and better things, which await ambition and energy.—Philadelphia Tribune. Mme. E. Azalia Hackley will make her first appearance in this country since her return from London on August 23, at Saratoga, N. Y. CATHOLIC SCHOOL FOR NEGROES. Jackson, Miss., August 2. There will soon be a Catholic school for Negroes in this city. Last week ground was broken for the erection of a building to be located in the northern portion of the city. The structure is being erected under the auspices of a Catholic society located in New York City, and is to cost $15,000. The movement was started several months ago by Father Heick, a priest who came here for the purpose, supplied with ample funds by the parent society. He purchased six lots near a section populated by white people, and there was a serious objection on their part to the building of the school there. The opposition was so strong as to cause the sale of the property and purchase of another lot 580 by 160 feet further west and in a section peopleled by Negroes exclusively. In the meantime the purposes of the society have become better known and the objection to the establishment of such a school in the city has subsided. In fact, it has been pointed out that in other cities they have had a benecial and no evil effects. Vicksburg has just such a school three years old, which has an attendance of about 150 students. There, it is said, the results have thus far been satisfactory. It has relieved the congested condition of the public schools for Negroes, and those who are being taught, at small expense, are apparently benefited thereby, with no apparent evil effects. The school is to teach along religious and moral lines, as well as the regular literary courses, and later on may attach industrial features. The faculty will be made up of Catholic Sisters from the North, who will see to it that no Negro child worthy of the charity will be turned away, even though they may be unable to pay the small tuition to be charged. N. Y. Age. Jefferies and Johnson Sign Contract. Chicago, Aug. 11.—Jack Johnson today signed articles to fight Jim Jefferies. The fight is to take place within eight months before the club offering the best inducements. All bids for the fight are to be in inside of sixty days. Sam Berger, manager of Jefferies, and George Little, Johnson's manager were present when the articles were sighed. Little, however, had nothing to do with the arrangements of the terms of the big fight, he having turned the whole affair over to Johnson. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES. George W. Walker of Williams and Walker, will spend the month of August with his mother at his home in Lawrence, Kans. William English Walling, the Socialist, who started out to settle the troubles of the Negro, seems now to have troubles of his own. He is being sued by a young French woman for $100,000 for breach of promise. Mr. Walling is at the head of the Committee of Forty. merce Commission, collectey from colored men to fig case, and then employed a white lawyer who conced case out of court, as their a Why did they not at least a colored attorney as an as The poorest colored attorn found could not have made sorry failure than did this attorney. These African dist Episcopal bishops their race, are preaching them every Sunday, and Fort Worth, Texas, Aug. 2. Fort Worth will soon enjoy the distinction of having the first Negro garage in Texas. The Negro citizens of this city have gotten together and are arranging to form a company, capitalized at $7,000. The concern will put into service four automobiles for Negroes and build a garage. That the board of education of the New York schools do not intend that the "color line" shall crop into the school system was fully exemplified a few days ago, when it ignored the protests of the white teachers and placed William L. Buckley as head of a school of 125. When the report was issued some time ago that Mr. Buckley was to be placed in charge of this school, over one-half of the teachers protested against being obliged to work under the supervision of a Negro principal. They were told then by the board of education that there was no color line in the public school system of New York City. Mr. Buckley has been connected with the N. Y. schools for years, and is considered one of the brightest teachers in the city. Springfield, Ill., July 31. Springfield society folks are incensed because of a dancing party given last week in the Casino at fashionable Washington park by colored people of the city. Washington park is in the aristocratic residence district of the city, and all fashionable sets have been in the habit of holding their al-fresco functions in the park casino. When the colored people applied for the use of the casino for a party to be given the officers of the Eighth infantry, members of the park board decided they had no legal right to refuse the request. White people promise to boycott the casino. The African Methodist Episcopal bishops, who instituted the case against the Southern Railroad before the Interstate Com- NO.48 merce Commission, collected money from colored men to fight the case, and then employed a cheap white lawyer who conceded the case out of court, as their attorney. Why did they not at least employ a colored attorney as an associate? The poorest colored attorney to be found could not have made a more sorry failure than did this white attorney. These African Methodist Episcopal bishops live off their race, are preaching union to them every Sunday, and yet take their money and employ an opponent to help them lose their case. The Washington Bee. Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 7.—St. Mary's Ga., nearly had a fit the other morning when citizens fully realized the fact that if they wanted a city court and judge they would have to select a Negro lawyer, who had long been a resident and practitioner of the community. A cry for help went up to the legislature now in session. Under a law passed about two years ago, engineered by a man named Rose, a "political boss," certain qualifications which Rose and the Negro lawyer were the only men eligible. Rose became Judge Rose, but died three weeks ago. The legislature hurried through an amendment to the act, and now St. Marys' is out of danger. Newark, N. J., Aug. 3.—There will be no more separate schools for Negroes in this city. This decision was decided upon last Friday evening at a meeting of the School Board. Negro pupils here have been segregated since before the Civil War. The committee voted to abandon the Commerce Street School, it being pointed out that the attendance has been falling off gradually until, at the time the report was made, only seventy-eight pupils remained. Recently Prof. James M. Baxter, the principal, applied for retirement after upward of forty years continuous service, and the School Board then began to realize that it was useless to draw the color line any longer. The Negro children will now be placed in the schools of the districts in which they respectively reside. It does not appear that there is any prejudice against them in any of the white schools. Naps Buy Training Grounds. Permanent training grounds for the Cleveland American baseball club have been selected at Pass Christian, Miss. It is said that negotiations for permanent grounds for other major league teams at points on the gulf coast are now pending. INCREASES AND DECREASES IN NEW TARIFF BILL Schedules as Compared with the Rates Under the Existing Dingley Measure. HIDES ON THE FREE LIST Marked Reduction in Wood Pulp and Print Paper—Rough Lumber Down from $2 to $1.25 Per Thousand Feet—Wool Schedule Shows Little Change—Corporation Tax Law Provided For—Bonds to Build Panama Canal. Washington.—The schedules of the new tariff bill, with comparisons with rates under the Dingley measure, are as follows: Rough lumber goes down from $2 to $1.25 per thousand feet, with corresponding reduction in the differential on dressed lumber. The wool schedule underwent no change of consequence, but the entire cotton schedule was reconstructed Sereno E. Payne. Republican House Leader. and the phraseology greatly changed in the hope of preventing reductions through decisions by the courts such as have characterized the administration of the Dingley law during latter years. In many instances the rates intended to be imposed by the Dingley law were cut by the decisions, the reductions in some instances being from 60 per cent. to eight per cent. ad valorem. It is estimated that the rates fixed by the bill are about three per cent. higher upon an average than those collected on cotton last year. Probably the most marked reductions throughout any schedule in the bill as a result of the action of the two houses and of the conference committee are found in the metal schedule. Beginning with a decrease in the rate of iron ore from 40 to 15 cents per ton, there is a general reduction throughout that portion of the bill, pig iron going down from $4 to $2.50 per ton, and scrap iron from $4 to $1. The reduction on many of the items in this schedule amounts to about 50 per cent., and this reduction includes steel rails. There is an increase on structural steel ready for use and also a slight increase on razors, nippers and pliers, and on such new metals as tungsten. Rates on Hosiery Increased. The rates on hosiery are generally increased. In the much contested matter of the rate on gloves the high protectionists fail to score. They sought, through an increase made by the house, to raise the duty materially above the Dingley figures, but were antagonized by the senate, and the senate won, the only change made in the entire schedule being one slight reduction. The silk schedule was reconstructed with a view of imposing specific rather than ad valorem duties, with the result that the average duty will be somewhat higher under the new law than under the present statute. Oil cloths and lineoleum are heavily cut, but otherwise the changes in the flax, hemp and jute provision were not material. A slightly increased duty is provided for hemp, both crude and hackled, and also on certain high-grade laces. On linen yarns and mattings there is a reduction. Sugar and tobacco duties remain substantially as they are under the Dingley law. The free importation of considerable quantities of both of these articles from the Philippine islands is permitted, and a material change was made in the internal revenue law by an amendment taking the tax off the sale of tobacco in the hand. There is a uniform increase on spir ts, wines and liqueurs of 15 per cent. Raise Rate on Hons. In the agricultural schedule hops are increased from 12 to 16 cents a pound and there is also an increase on lemons, figs, almonds and pine-apples. The publishers win their fight for lower wood pulp and paper, the rate on the ordinary newspaper print paper being fixed at $3.75 per ton instead of $6 as under the Dingley law, and on the higher grades of print paper at $3.75 instead of $8. Mechanically ground wood pulp is to come in free of duty instead of paying one-twelfth of a cent a pound as under the Dingley law, but provision is made for a countervailing duty in case it becomes necessary to protect this country against Canada's inhibitions upon the exportation of woods to the United States. Hides of cattle come in free and there is a corresponding reduction on leather and leather goods. The free hide provision is based on the condition that on and after October 1, 1909, sole leather from the hides that are to be admitted free will pay a duty of five per cent.; grain, buff and split leather $7 \frac{1}{2}$ per cent.; boots and shoes, the upper leather of which is made from such hides, 10 per cent., and harness and saddlery, 20 per cent. This schedule of rates will result in a reduction of 15 per cent. on boots and shoes, 20 per cent. on harness and saddlery, 15 per cent. on sole leather for uppers, if made of the hides that are put on the free list by the provision. Bituminous coal is reduced from 67 cents per ton to 45 cents, and there is also a reduction on gunpowder, matches and cartridges. Agricultural implements go off from 20 per cent. ad valorem to 15 per cent. and the older works of art are placed upon the free list. Petroleum, which received much attention in both houses, slips through without any duty, countervailing or otherwise, and most of its products come in under the same terms. Increases in the chemical schedules are as follows: Liquid anhydrous ammonia, from 25 per cent. ad valorem to five cents per pound. Manufactures of collodion, increased five per cent. Coca leaves increased five cents per pound. Fancy soaps increased from 15 cents per pound to 50 per centum ad valorem. The list of decreases in this schedule was much longer, the principal items being as follows: Boracic acid from five to two cents per pound. Chromic acid and lactic acid from three to two cents per pound. Salicylic acid from ten to seven cents per pound. Tannic acid, or tannin, from 50 to 35 cents per pound. Sulphate of ammonia from three- tenths cent per pound to free list. Borax from five to two cents per pound. Borate of lime and other borate material from four to two cents per pound. Chloroform from 20 to 10 cents per pound. Copperas from one-fourth cent to fifteen hundredths of one cent per pound. Iodoform from $1 to 75 cents per pound. Licorice from $4½ to $2½ cents per pound. Cottonseed Oil on Free List. Cottonseed oil and cotton oil from the dutiable to the free list. Flaxseed, linseed and poppy seed oil from 20 to 15 cents per gallon. Peppermint oil from 50 to 25 cents per gallon. Ocher and ochery earths, sienna and sienna earths, and umber and umber earths, if ground in oil or water, from $1½ to one cent per pound. Varnishes from 35 per cent. to 25 per cent. ad valorem. Methylated and spirit varnishes from $1.32 per gallon and 35 per cent. ad valorem to 35 cents per gallon and 35 per cent. ad valorem; white lead, acetate of lead, and a number of other lead products, from one-fourth to one-eighth of a cent a pound. Bichromate and chromate of potash from three to $2\frac{1}{4}$ cents per pound. Chlorate of potash from $2\frac{1}{2}$ to two cents per pound. Crystal carbonate of soda from three-tenths to one-fourth of one cent per pound; chlorate of soda from two to $1\frac{1}{4}$ cents per pound. Hydrate of, or caustic soda, from three-fourths to one-half of one cent per pound; nitrate of soda from $2\frac{1}{2}$ to two cents per pound. Sulphate of soda, or salt cake, or miter cake, from $1.25 to $1 per ton. Strychnia, or strychnine, from 30 to 15 cents per ounce. Sulphur, refined or sublimated, or flowers of, from $8 to $6 per ton. In earthenware and glassware there is but one increase. This is slight and is made on the smaller sizes of plate glass. The decreases in this schedule include: Fire brick, glazed, enameled, and so forth, from 45 per cent. to 35 per cent. ad valorem; brick, other than fire brick, if glazed, from 45 per cent. to 35 per cent. ad valorem. Plaster rock, or gypsum, crude, from 50 to 30 cents per ton; if ground or calcined, from $2.25 to $1.25. Unpolished, cylinder, crown and common window glass, smaller glass and cheaper values, reduced one-eighth of a cent per pound. Onyx in block, from $1.50 per cubic foot to 65 cents per cubic foot. Duty Lowered on Marble. Marble, sawed or dressed, over two inches in thickness, from $1.10 to $1 per cubic foot, with other reductions on the entire marble paragraph and on other stone. There is a general reduction in mica to 30 per cent. ad valorem. There was before a mixed specific and ad valorem system. Structural steel, fitted for use, falls in the basket clause at 45 per cent. ad valorem. There also is an increase on razors, and upon nippers and pliers. Lithographic plates are increased from 25 to 50 per cent. ad valorem. Chrome metal, ferrosilicon, tungsten, and other new metals used in the manufacture of steels, are made duti- able at not more than 15 per cent. ad valorem. Tungsten ore is made dutiable at ten per cent. The duty on watches was readjusted, remaining at about the same as the Dingley law. A duty of one cent per pound was put upon the zinc in the ore where it contains more than 20 per cent. of zinc. On zinc with less than 20 per cent. there is a lower rate of duty. Zinc now has a duty of 20 per cent. There was an added duty of one half of one cent per pound upon plain bottle caps, and on decorated bottle caps the duty was increased from 45 to 55 per cent. The reductions in the metal schedule are more numerous and generally more marked than in most of the others. Heading the list is iron ore, which was decreased from 40 to 15 cents per ton. Pig iron, iron kentledge, and Spiegeleisen, were lowered from $4 to $2.50 per ton. Scrap iron and steel from four to one dollar per ton. Reductions were made on bar iron, round iron, slabs and blooms, structural steel not fabricated, anchors, iron and steel forgings, hoop, band, or scroll iron or steel, steel bands or strips. Railway Bars and Steel Rails The reduction on cotton ties is from five-tenths to three-tenths of one cent per pound, and railway bars and steel rails from seven-tenthets of one cent per pound to seven-fortieths. Iron or steel sheets were also reduced, and the duty on charcoal iron is made six dollars a ton, instead of $12. Other reductions in the metal schedule affect polished sheets, rolled sheets of iron, steel, copper, or nickel, steel ingots, cogged ingots, blooms and slabs; round iron or steel wire; steel bars or rods, cold rolled, cold drawn, or cold hammered, or polished; anvils, axles; blacksmith's hammers and sledges, track tools, wedges and crowbars; bolts; cast iron pipes; cast hollow ware; chains; lap welded or jointed iron or steel boiler tubes; cut nails and spikes; horse-shoe nails; wire nails; spikes, nuts and washers; cut tacks; steel plates engraved; rivets; cross-cut saws, mill saws, circular saws, pit and drag saws, steel band saws and all other saws; screws; wheels for railway purposes; aluminum; momazite sand and thorite. Tin plates reduced from one and one-half to one and two-tenths cents per pound. Duties on table and carving knives reduced and the minimum limit of the Nelson W. Aldrich. Republican Senate Leader. rates on these knives is made 40 per cent. ad valorem, instead of 45. Material reductions are made in the rates on files and the duty on cash registers, jute manufacturing machinery, typesetting machines, machine tools, printing presses, sewing machines, typewriters, and all steam engines, is reduced to 30 per cent. ad valorem from the existing rate of 45 per cent. Until January 1, 1912, embroidery and certain lacemaking machines, and machines used for the manufacture of linen cloth, and tar and oil spreading machines used in the construction of roads, are to be admitted free. Lumber Schedule. In the lumber schedule the only increases were those on shingles from 30 cents to 50 cents per 1,000, and on briar wood and laurel wood for the use of pipe makers from the free list to 15 per cent, ad valorem. The rate on sawed lumber was decreased from $2 per 1,000 to $1.25 per 1,000. There was also a diminution on timber from one cent. per cubic foot to one-half cent, and on sawed boards of white wood and kindred woods from $1 per 1,000 to 50 cents per 1,000. The reduction in the differential rates in favor of dressed lumber averaged about one-third of the Dingley rate. Paving posts, railroad ties and telephone poles are reduced from 20 to 10 per cent. ad valorem; clapboards from $1.50 per 1,000 to $1.25; laths from 25 cents to 20 cents per 1,000, while fence posts and kindling wood were taken from the dutiable list and placed on the free list. The only change in the sugar schedule consisted of a reduction of five-hundredths of a cent in the differential on refined sugar. In agricultural products broom corn was taken from the free list and made durable at three dollars per ton. Hops are increased from 12 to 16 cents per pound. There are also increases on lemons, figs, almonds, pineapples and chicory root. The reductions in the agricultural schedule covered bacon and hams from five to four cents per pound, lard from two to one and one-half cents, fresh meats from two to one and one-half cents, and starch from one and one-half to one cent per pound. Tallow, wool grease, dextrin, peas, sugar beets, cabbages and salt were also lowered. The wine and liquor schedule was increased throughout to 15 per cent. over the Dingley rates. The cotton schedule was reconstructed and readjusted to bring the duties up to those collected during the first four years of the operation of the Dingley law and to the rate then collected under that law. Since that time the rates have been lowered, in some cases from 60 to 6 per cent. by court decisions. These new rates are equivalent to an addition, on the whole, of three per cent. ad valorem increase over that collected under the present law for last year. Cotton Hosiery. Cotton hosiery, valued at not more than $1 per dozen is increased from 50 to 70 cents per dozen pairs; more than $1 and less than $1.50 per dozen pairs, from 60 cents to 85 cents per dozen pairs; more than $1.50 and not more than $2, from 70 cents to 90 cents per dozen pairs. The remaining rates on stockings are the same as under the present law. Hemp is increased from $20 to $22.50 per ton and hackle hemp from $40 to $45 per ton. The cheaper laces remain as in the present law, but there is an increase from 60 to 70 per cent, on some of the higher priced laces. In this schedule single coarse yarns are reduced from seven cents to six cents per pound and gill netings from 25 to 20 per cent. ad valorem. There was a general reduction in carpets and mats. A reduction from 20 cents to 15 cents is made in hydraulic hose. Oil cloth, including linoleum, was reduced about one-third. There was practically no change in the wool schedule from the rates of the Dingley law, but there was a adjustment between tops and yarns and a small decrease on cloths with a cotton warp. Mechanically ground wood pulp was exempted from duty and placed on the free list with a provision for a countervailing duty against Canada. The lower grade of printing paper was reduced from $6 to $3.75 per ton and the higher grade from $8 to $3.75. There is an increase on surface coated paper and lithographing prints, including postcards and cigar labels. Common window glass of the lower sizes, in which the imports are heavy, is given a reduction, and where changes were made in the chemical schedule there was a general decrease, except upon such articles as fancy soaps and perfumes, which were increased. Other Reductions. Bituminous coal goes down from 67 cents to 45 cents per ton, and there are reductions on gunpowder, matches and cartridges. Agricultural implements are cut from 20 to 15 per cent. ad valorem. Hides were placed on the free list, while the rate on band and sole leather is reduced from 20 per cent. to five per cent. ad valorem, on dressed leather from 20 per cent. to 10 per cent.; boots and shoes from 25 per cent. to 10 per cent. Fireworks are increased from 20 per cent. advalorem to 12 cents per pound; wearing apparel made of fur from 35 to 50 per cent, and the higher class jewelery from 60 per cent. to 85 per cent. ad valorem; pencil lead is given specific rates instead of ad valorem rates with a slight increase. For the first time moving picture films are named specifically in a tariff law. The bill gives them a positive rate of $1\frac{1}{2}$ cents per foot. Petroleum, crude and refined, including kerosene, gasoline, naphtha, benzine and similar petroleum products are made free of duty and are left even without a countervailing duty. The Dingley rates on women's and children's gloves are allowed to stand. The only change is a reduction on "schmaschen" gloves not over 14 inches in length on which the rate is made $1.25 a dozen pairs instead of $1.75. Miscellaneous Provisions. A provision is included in the bill which levies on all articles upon which any foreign country pays a bounty or grant upon its exportation, an additional duty equal to the amount of such bounty. It is required that all imported articles capable of being marked without impairment of their value shall be stamped with the name of the manufacturer and the country of origin. A very elaborate provision for the administration of the customs laws was adopted by the conferees. It is practically the same as that adopted by the senate. It is intended to prevent undervaluation of articles on which there is no foreign market by which true values may be ascertained. Provision is made for the establishment of a customs court of appeals, with headquarters in Washington. It will comprise a presiding judge and four associate judges, at salaries of $10,000 a year. There are to be appointed to conduct government cases before this court a special assistant attorney general at $10,000, a deputy assistant attorney general at $7,500, and four attorneys at $5,000 each. The internal revenue tax on tobacco is amended, making the rates on chewing and smoking tobacco eight cents a pound. No change was made in the tax on cigars, except those weighing under three pounds per 1,000, which were increased from 54 to 75 cents per 1,000. The rates on cigarettes were increased to $1.25 per 1,000. A prohibition against the use of coupons or special gift pledges is 'corporated in the new law. The provision granting farmers the free sale of leaf tobacco places a restriction on the retail dealer which requires him to record every sale amounting to two pounds or more to one person in one day. A number of other ironclad requirements are included in the redraft of this section adopted by the conference committee, by which it was intended to prevent any frauds upon the internal revenues, and at the same time give as much of a local market as possible to the tobacco grower. The grower has contended for unrestricted sale of amounts up to ten pounds. Foreign-built yachts are subject to an excise tax of seven dollars per gross ton, which is to be collected annually on the first day of September. In lieu of the excise tax the owner of a foreign built yacht or pleasure boat may pay a duty of 35 per cent. ad valorem on his yacht. This will entitle him to American registry. The excise tax provision was adopted because of the fact that some question has been raised about the ability of the government to enforce collection of import duties. Corporation Tax. Corporation Tax. Every corporation, joint stock company or association organized for profit, and every insurance company is required to pay annually an excise tax of one per cent. upon its entire net income over and above $5,000. This feature was put into the bill to raise additional revenues to apply on the treasury deficit. The section was prepared by Attorney General Wickersham, assisted by other able lawyers in the administrative circle, and great care was taken to guard against double taxation. It provides a form of publicity which will enable the government to exercise supervision over corporations. The form of returns which must be made by corporations, and other features of the corporation tax law were made public in detail during its consideration in the senate. It is estimated that from $20,000,000 to $30,000,000 a year will be collected under this form of federal taxation. The secretary of the treasury is authorized to issue Panama canal bonds to the amount of $290,569,000, which sum, together with that already expended, equals the estimated cost of the Panama canal. It is not intended that the bonds shall be issued except as needed to provide money to carry on the work of canal construction. The bonds are to be payable 50 years from the date of issue, and will bear interest at a rate not exceeding three per cent. When the bonds are sold the secretary of the treasury will restore to the working balance the $50,000,000 paid originally for the canal property and the canal zone. The re-enactment of the provision authorizing the issuance of treasury certificates for money borrowed to meet public expenditures, increases the amount of the authorization from $100,000,000 to $200,000,000. A large number of other provisions that are in force under the existing tariff law are included in the conference bill, with a few changes in phraseology in several cases. The drawback provision of the Dingley law is incorporated in the conference bill in lieu of the drawback the house bill which intended to permit the substitution of domestic material in the manufactured article for export to the same quantity that the imported material, upon which a drawback was obtainable, was used in the manufacture of similar articles for domestic consumption. An additional provision was adopted entitling users of domestic alcohol in the manufacture of perfumery and cosmetics to secure a drawback of internal revenue tax to the amount of alcohol used in an exported article. Senate Ideas Accepted. Practically all the administrative features of the bill which were adopted in the senate were accepted by the conferees. They include a new maximum and minimum feature, a corporation tax law instead of the inheritance tax adopted by the house, authorization for a bond issue to raise money to build the Panama canal, as well as numerous other features. The maximum and minimum provision prescribes duties in accordance with the rates named in the dutiable list until March 31, 1910, when 25 per cent. ad valorem is to be added automatically as the maximum duty. The president is authorized to apply the minimum rates, however, to imports from a country which gives its best rates to the products of the United States and is made the judge as to whether a foreign country accords to the United States treatment which is reciprocal and equivalent. When he finds that this condition exists he is to issue a proclamation putting in effect the minimum rates and until the time of the proclamation the maximum rates will apply. The president is empowered to employ such persons as may be required to secure information to assist the president in the discharge of the duties imposed upon him and information which will be useful to the officers of the government in the administration of the customs laws. The reciprocity treaty with Cuba is not affected by the maximum and minimum provision. The president is empowered also to abrogate those reciprocity treaties which can be terminated by diplomatic action. It is made his duty to give 10 days' notice after the bill becomes a law of his intention to bring those treaties to an end. All other treaties which contain no stipulation in regard to their termination by diplomatic action shall be abrogated by a notice of six months from the president to those countries, the notice dating from April 30, 1909, on which date Secretary Knox notified foreign governments that the United States would soon ask them to enter into new tariff relations. GENEROSITY OF THE GOURMET Frenchman Partial to Properly Cooked Chop, But He Did Not Alto-gether Forget His Wife. A Frenchman hesitates to pay two dollars for a pair of ready-made trousers, but it is his delight to spend a fiver on a meal. The speaker, a waiter, smiled. "My brother, Gustav of Dax," he said, "is a renowned gourmet. They talk all over Dax of Gustav's way of grilling a lamb cutlet. Is it a good way, but expensive? Oh, la, la!" "La, la?" The guest frowned. "What do you mean by 'la, la?'" he inquired. "It just means 'gosh,' jingo,' my goodness,' anything like that," said the waiter, impatiently. "About my brother Gustav. He always grills his own chops. He won't trust the work to any one else. He does it like this: He lays three chops, one on top of the other, on the grill. Seated before the fire, he turns the chops over and over till the two outer ones are done to a very dry brown. The middle one only is the one he eats. Ah, but it must be delicious. It has received, you see, all the rich, delicate juices of the other two." The guest sneered. "And does he throw the other two away?" he asked. "Oh, no," the waiter answered. "He gives them to his wife."—Buffalo Express. CHILD HAD SIXTY BOILS. And Suffered Annually with a Red Scald-Like Humor on Her Head. Troubles Cured by Cuticura. "When my little Vivian was about six months old her head broke out in boils. She had about sixty in all and I used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment which cured her entirely. Some time later a humor broke out behind her ears and spread up on to her head until it was nearly half covered. The humor looked like a scald, very red with a sticky, clear fluid coming from it. This occurred every spring. I always used Cuticura Soap and Ointment which never failed to heal it up. The last time it broke out it became so bad that I was discouraged. But I continued the use of Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Resolvent until she was well and has never troubled in the last two years. Mrs. M. A.

DENN JEN, COLC 1219 21st St. Denver, Colo. | WILLIAMSON HAFFNER G@ ENGRAVERS-PRINTERS FOURS (Gis) SCAG DEFENDED BY MILLIONAIRE FAR- SON AND SECRETARY OF AG- RICULTURE WILSON. IDAHO MAN’S WARNING : oS SAYS DAM WILL BE BLOWN UP UNLESS THE LAWS ARE OBEYED. Spokane, Wash.—John Wilson, for- mer United States senator from Washington, and John Farson, million- aire banker of Chicago, Thursday came to the defense of Secretary of the Interior Ballinger before the Na tional Irrigation Congress and succea- ed in keeping the so-called “Ballinger- Pinchot” feud in the public eye. Discussion about the hotels seemed to indicate that both sides of the recla- mation controversy were content to let matters rest notwithstanding the rumors that the Ballinger supporters intended to make a detailed reply to the charges offered by former Gov- ernor George C. Pardee of California. The fore part of Thursday's session of the National Irrigation Congress did not offer, seemingly, the proper opening for a continuation of the trou- ‘ble until Dr. Pardee arose to ques- tion a statement made by a speaker. Dr. Pardee warmed to his subject to such an extent that soon he had brought in his charges against Secre- tary Ballinger and again accused that official of permitting the openings for entry of valuable water power sites. ‘This brought Mr. Farson to his feet, asking Dr. Pardee if he meant to in- sinuate that the secretary was dishon- est. With Dr. Pardee’s reply that he meant no such accusation the incident was dropped, only, however, after sey- eral other Balunger supporters had taken occasion to demand specific charges of the Californian. The afternoon session was hardly under way when W. W. Ferrell of Fer- rell, Idaho, took the floor and, during the time allowed for discussion at- tacked severely the Washington Power Company, the concern which supplies power to the city of Spokane. At the expiration of his five-minute time allowance there were cries from all parts of the building for Mr. Fer- rell to “go on.” A yote was takes and finally the Idaho man was allowed to proceed, which he did after a rough and ready fashion that brought repeated cheers. “{ have been a settler in Idaho for twenty-five years,” he shouted, “and there are many who have lived there with me during that time. They have worked hard \o make homes. And now after a quarter of a century the Washington Power Company, one of the many which threaten our very lives, has dammed up our valley, over- flowed our lands, drowned out our crops, and many are about to lose their very means of livelihood. I’m not an anarchist and I want to see the law obeyed—but I want to say that there are men in my town who will smash that dam with dynamite and send a lory-foot wall of water down this val- ley, and what will happen to Spokane will make the Johnstown flood look like a common shedding ot tears, if something is not done!” ‘The old man trembled with excite- ment as he spoke, and cheers and cries of “Good!” followed his out- burst. The chairman’s gavel stopped him. Former Senator Wilson was seem- ingly in a less bellicose mood. He started reading from a typewritten manuscript, but it became evident as he proceeded that he had something on his mind aside from typewritten paper. Suddenly he flung aside the notes on irrigation and peaceful homes and deserts that blossom as the rose. “There may be those who do wrong in this land,” he shouted. “There may be water power companies that diso- bey the law, but I want to say here that I stand for Richard A. Ballinger and I shall hear no man say he is dis- honest. I am here in defense of Ball- inger and if it 1s necessary I am here to defend his superior, President Taft, What they have done they have done under the law because they be: lieve in the law. It is for the people to support the government and not the government the people and for this reason I say that private enter- prise should reclaim these deserts.” ‘There was wild cheering at the con- clusion of this outburst.

BACK FROM THE WARS. ON JULY 26TH, the Tenth Regiment, United States Cavalry, famous for its service and bravery at San Juan Hill in the war with Spain, reached New York on its return from two years' gallant service in the Philippines. The regiment was reviewed by the Mayor of New York, addressed by Major General Leonard Wood, commanding the Department of the East, applauded by cheering thousands of enthusiastic citizens along the line of march, and on the following day it proceeded to its new station, at Fort Ethan Allen, Vermont, where it will probably enjoy a season of well-earned rest. There is little prejudice against their location in New England because they are Negroes, despite disquieting rumors, but doubtless they will now meet with the greatest measure of hospitality that they have ever experienced in their home country, and enjoy a measure of those honors which they deserve and which liberal and high-minded Americans are happy to bestow upon deserving heroes. There will be no "shooting up" incidents to mar their sojourn in the Green Mountain State, and nothing in their conduct or in the antagonism of the people with whom they must come in contact, to worry the government, or the army, or anybody whose interests are identified with the peace and welfare of the country. It is unfortunate, perhaps, that, in their day of rest, they are isolated from the masses and larger communities of their own people, but this is a circumstance to which they are used. The life of the Negro Soldier is one of ceaseless and unmeasured sacrifice. Upon the field, wherever duty calls, wherever in the world the widening interests of this great country command, his life is placed unhesitatingly upon the altar, and his strength and brain and blood are spent with but the desire to serve and honor his country. In the barracks he adapts himself to the doubly limited privileges of military restraint and social repression, and remembers the duty that he owes to himself and to the higher interests of his humble and struggling race. Yet out of his experience he gathers a certain measure of happiness and a wide knowledge of the world and the world's affairs, which many civilians do not gain. Perhaps the time may come when the Negro Soldier will be employed in a service of more direct benefit to his own people than past experience has given him, for with the growth of their national and international interests, there may be conditions developed which the Negro Soldier of the United States can best protect and defend. Then will the flower of patriotism, already a thing of beauty, reach its fullest bloom in the Negro Soldier's heart! THE SOLON AND THE SERVANT. UNITED STATES SENATOR STONE, of Missouri, took supper aboard a dining car running out of Washington recently, and, being very hungry and very thirsty, was in his natural Missouri mood. Everything seemed to thump hard upon his empty stomach and affect his nerves. His first order, for a small glass of whiskey and a large glass of water, was improperly filled by the Negro waiter who brought a small glass of water with the whiskey. Then everybody seemed to be served except the Senator from Missouri, and he assailed the waiter for his slothfulness. The waiter objected to the chastising, and the impatient Senator called him a "black dog" and slapped him in the face! He then proceeded to the kitchen, where, he says, he saw his meal cooked and waiting, and he said a few more unpleasant things. Another Negro asked the Senator what right he had to create a disturbance, and the Senator's fighting blood was further aroused. The despised porter-man said that he would see about the matter—and when the train reached Baltimore two civil officers got aboard and placed Senator Stone under arrest, and in spite of protests he was compelled to ride to a magistrate's office in a patrol wagon, accompanied by the waiter whom he had assaulted. He was released on bail and resumed his journey, but was compelled to return to Baltimore for a hearing. The Railroad Company, through its attorneys, expressed its desire to stop the proceedings, but the waiter insisted upon pressing his charge. The magistrate then discharged the Senator, saying that he was justified in doing as he did, for he, the magistrate, had often been tempted to do the same thing. But Senator Stone's Missouri indignation is still boiling. And it will not be appeased by the sermon of one of the most prominent white ministers in the country, preached last Sunday, in which he recounted the incident and said: "For the good of the country, Senator Stone belongs to the class of gentlemen who are rapidly disappearing from American society. Negroes have feelings, the same as other human beings, and no white man alive would have served the Senator under similar circumstances; and, as the Senator is so superior to his waiter, with hundreds of years of refined influences behind him, he should at least have had manhood enough to control his temper. Our treatment of the Negro sets down civilization as a failure and Christianity as a farce. The criminal foolishness of men like Stone is largely responsible for the growing impudence of the Negro and keeps alive race antagonism." Undoubtedly the Negro waiter has lost his position on the railroad, and the circumstance may turn him to something better. Senator Stone has been mentioned as a possible Democratic candidate for the Presidency, but he will probably never be so mentioned again, for his appetite, his whiskey and his temper are all against him. It Comes Freighted with Riches of Infinity By REV. JENKIN LLOYD JONES, D. D. Chicago. My friend Calthrop of Syracuse, in a memorable address once tried to analyze the contents of one cubic inch of space, which he placed midway between the sun and the faraway star Sirius. M. B. Through that cubic inch of space, he said, go dancing in every moment of time "a billion waves of light, traveling from 6,000 stars visible through a great telescope, besides innumerable planets whose faint light no telescope is fine enough to catch. Gravitating relations from the 20,000,000 suns of our galaxy, the billion planets and the uncounted nebulae also throb through that inch of space. To know thoroughly that inch of space is to know the universe; is to find there the exactness of God, the economy of God, the beauty of God and the love of God." Now, if all these are found in so material and so external a unit as a cubic inch of space, how much more are they to be found in a unit of heart life, of human love! The confident kiss which a baby gives to a stranger—what does it represent? Ages of barbaric struggle, millions of crushed aspirations, unnumbered longings, the struggle of the savage for safety, the barbarian for shelter, the pioneer for lodgment, the statesman for an ordered commonwealth, the inventor for the amenities and refinements of home, the physician for the conditions of health, the educator for the expansion of mind, the moralist for the purity of soul, the religionist for the tenderness of spirit, heartstick women, passion-disciplined men, march in files ages long through the kiss of that child. In receiving the kiss I was made heir to all the ages. Not so complicated are the material forces pulsing through Mr. Calthrop's inch of space as the spiritual complexities in that baby's kiss. From that kiss, looking backward, we see the history of the human soul rising into tenderness. Looking forward, we see the beginning of home loves, fireside anxieties; generations of thinking, loving men and women, poets, statesmen, inventors, preachers, presidents, in ever-increasing number, are more or less directly connected with that child's kiss. It is a deposit in the love store of humanity, an impulse toward kindness and trustfulness that will never die. God's kingdom is more honored for it. How tremendously religious are the contents of a baby's kiss. Normal Man Omnivorous By HARVEY W. WILEY, Chief Chemist of Department of Agriculture. If a man wants to live on nuts I make no objection; if he prefers to eat raw foods alone he has my permission; if he eschews meat I never object; if he uses some alcoholic beverage with his food I do not abuse him; if he eats five times a day I consider him fortunate—if he has only one meal I hope it is a good one; if he eats late at night my prayer is that he sleep well; if he takes a drink before breakfast I think he might be engaged in something better; if he prefers breakfast foods he has a certain extent my commiseration; if he eats only meat he probably will not have tuberculosis unless he becomes infected. I do not believe in any form of food advertised to nourish any particular tissue. There is no such thing as brain food or nerve food or skin food. I believe that man is an omnivorous animal, and that his normal diet is composed of our animal, and that its normal diet is composed of all kinds of foods, vegetable and animal. All vegetables fit to eat are food for man and all animals fit to eat are food for man. For this reason I think it is not wise to confine one's self to any one kind of food or class of food. [Pictorial portrait of a man in a suit with a tie.] The human animal has a wonderful faculty of adaptation to circumstances. Man can live in the tropics and perhaps at the pole. He can undergo the greatest extremes of moisture and drought. He can eat the most diversified forms of diet. He can engage in the most diversified forms of work and pleasure. He becomes acclimated in every zone and country and fits into every kind of society and occupation. But in spite of all this a normally balanced diet, consisting of proper proportions of vegetable and meat diet, solid and fluid food, it seems to me is best suited to man's use. The Natural and the Spiritual By LESLIE WILLIS SPRAGUE, Ethical Culture Society, Chicago. The cravings of the body for food, drink, shelter and offspring are significant as they are fused into the hungers and thirsts of the spirit. "A spark disturbs our clod." Man often becomes lower than the beast because his physical passion is disturbed by his spiritual life. Beasts drink to quench their thirst; man associates fellowship with his thirst, with drunkenness as the result. The saloon rests primarily on the craving for fellowship. Beasts eat to satisfy the body's appetite; man becomes a gourmand, eating for fraternity's sake. Of the hungers and thirsts of the spirit there are such as the craving for truth, for beauty, for affection and for righteousness, all of which mean the desire to realize harmonious relations with the spiritual life of nature and humanity. They relate man to the essence of being, to the ideal. However these cravings have originated, they are innate, authoritative and impose an enduring obligation upon man. It cannot be wisely said that too much of life is spent in the satisfaction of physical appetites. Rather is it true that through the right satisfaction of physical needs will the cravings of the spirit be fulfilled. In most lives, in most acts, physical needs are associated with physical wants. Men and women toil, not only that they may eat, but more that those they love may be cared for. Affection joins with hunger, inspiring labor. The difficulty is that this co-ordination is so incomplete. Labor is seldom dignified by the consciousness that it is co-working with the laws of nature which provide for human needs.

Salt Lake City, Aug. 11.—To-day was the climax of the forty-third national encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, the day on which the men who nearly half a century ago fought to preserve the union once again fell into line, answered the roll-call, and marched bravely, though often with faltering steps, to the music of the life and drum. The parading bodies all passed in review, saluting those in the stand, and at once disbanded. All the bands as they arrived here were massed close to the stand and as the culmination of the parade, 4,000 school children marched by, the united bands playing and the children singing "Onward, Christian Soldiers." Never in all the years of its existence has the Grand Army had a national encampment review that sur Salt Lake City SALVATION MOSQUITO MISSION CATHEDRAL The Great Mormon Temple. passed the one of to-day in spectacular and pathetic features. The parade formed at the beautiful Eagle gate on South Temple street. First in line were the regulars of the Fifteenth United States infantry and the entire National Guard of Utah, acting as escorts. Next came the forty-four departments of the Grand Army of the Republic, the Naval Veterans, the Ex-Union Prisoners of War, and in carriages the surviving members of that devoted band of women, the Army Nurses. Scattered through the line were numerous military bands and fife and drum corps. Greeted with Cheers and Tears. At the word of command the parade marched west to Main street and turned south down that thoroughfare, proceeding seven blocks between solid walls of cheering men, women and children. As the grizzled veterans passed the enthusiasm was tremendous and many a spectator wept unashamed as he realized that this was undoubtedly the last grand review for scores of the feeble heroes who trudged along with eyes on the flag for which they had given some of the best years of their lives. When Seventh South street was reached the paraders themselves broke out in mighty cheering, for there they turned in front of the most beautiful feature of the day, the "Living Flag." On an immense stand were 3,600 children dressed in the national colors and so arranged that they made a perfect representation of a waving American flag. The little ones had been drilled for many weeks, and while the old soldiers passed they sang patriotic airs. At the Reviewing Stand. At the Reviewing Stand. Countermarching, the parade now moved north on Main street back to THE CITY COURT THE COURT HOUSE THE CITY COURT HOUSE South Temple street. Here, just to the left of the Brigham Young pioneer monument and close to Temple square, the reviewing stand had been erected. It was occupied by Commander-in-Chief Henry M. Nevius, Gov. William Spry of Utah, the chief executives of other states and a large number of other officials and distinguished campment, veterans and bers of all t the Grand A the exercises are unaninued Veteran The old carefully loo --- guests. The parading bodies all passed in review, saluting those in the stand, and at once disbanded. All the bands as they arrived here were massed close to the stand and as the culmination of the parade, 4,000 school children marched by, the united bands playing and the children singing "Onward, Christian Soldiers." The great review was excellently managed in every way. All along the line of march were scattered ambulances, trained nurses and numerous MISSION CITY other attendants to care for any of the veterans who might be overcome by fatigue and for spectators who suffered in the crush on the sidewalks. Fortunately, their services were seldom needed. Fireworks on a Mountain. After a good rest, the city's guests all turned out again this evening and witnessed the magnificent display of fireworks on the top of Ensign peak. This peak lies immediately north of 福山大社 神社 the city and is the highest point of the Wasatch mountains, rising 1,200 feet higher than Temple square. The pyrrotechnic display is a mighty feature of the encampment week. Salt Lake City has thrown open her arms to the old soldiers, and never has the Grand Army been more enthusiastically received or more generously entertained than at this en- THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALGARY campment. Many thousands of the veterans and their families and members of all the organizations allied to the Grand Army have participated in the exercises and entertainments, and are unanimous in their praise of the Veterans Well Cared For. The old soldiers have been very carefully looked after by the local The Eagle Gate, Salt Lake City. committees on public comfort and private accommodations, and at the 24 information bureaus at the various railway stations and convenient places about the city. During the entire time of the encampment these committees have had the services of 300 high school cadets, whose duties have been to render every possible assistance to the visitors. The decoration of the city has been on a lavish scale. Every prominent Commander-in-Chief Nevius. building has been elaborately draped with bunting, handsome arches span the streets, and there is scarcely a residence in the city that does not display at least a flag. Henry M. Nevius, the commander-in-chief, arrived here Saturday with his staff and inspected the arrangements. On Sunday the city's guests began arriving by the thousand, and on Monday they came in so fast that the committee had to work like sailors to get them all housed in such a manner as to avoid congestion in any part of the city. Big "Greetings" Meeting. Monday evening came the first public event on the program—a great camp-fire in the assembly hall in the Temple grounds. All that night and throughout Tuesday the stream of arrivals continued, but by Tuesday evening practically all the visitors had been received and distributed. That night the greatest function of the encampment took place. This was the "Greetings" meeting in the Mormon Tabernacle. The immense building easily seats 10,000 persons, and it was filled to its capacity. Col. Frank M. Starrett, the executive director of the encampment, called the vast assemblage to order and introduced William H. King of Salt Lake City, who acted as temporary chairman. He made a brief address and was followed by Gov. William Spry of Utah, Mayor John S. Bradford of Salt Lake City, and L. H. TEMPLE OF THE HUNG KING Smythe, commander of the department of Utah, all of whom told in eloquent words how proud they were to welcome to the state and city the Grand Army and their friends. Mr. King then introduced Commander-in-Chief Nevius, who was received with wild cheering and the waving of hats and handkerchiefs. As soon as the tumult had subsided, Commander Nevius delivered a graceful response to the welcoming speeches and took the chair. The Allied Organizations. Then came the turn of the allied organizations, and greetings to the veterans were uttered by President Genevieve Hagar Longfield Lane of the Ladies of the G. A. R., President Mary E. Gilman of the Woman's Relief Corps, President Clara E. Hoover of the Daughters of Veterans, Commander-in-Chief Edgar Allen of the Sons of Veterans, and President Rebecca Smith of the Army Nurses. The speechmaking was varied by the playing of patriotic airs by a band. The exercises were brought to a close by the presentation of a handsome testimonial to Charles G. Burton, past commander-in-chief of the Grand Army. Any remark which might possibly be construed into unfavorable criticism of his old master or any of his belongings is instantly resented by Pomp, an old southern negro. A young granddaughter from "up norf" was looking over the family portraits and commenting freely, while Pomp stood, a sable image, at her side. "I don't think much of that horse's tail," said the girl, nodding her head toward a portrait of her spirited ancestor seated on the horse which carried him through the civil war. "It looks rather moth-eaten to me." "Dey wasn't nobody from de norf eber saw dat hoss' tall in wah times," answered Pomp, his voice charged with indignation.—Youth's Companion. --- Head On. Only.

How to Cure Kidney Troubles Easily and Quickly. It is needless to suffer the tortures of an aching back, the misery of backaches, rheumatic pains, urinary disorders, or risk the danger of diabetes or Bright's disease. The cure is easy. Treat the cause—the kidneys—with Doan's Kidney Pills. H. Mayne, Market St., Paris, Tenn., says: "Weak kidneys made my back stiff and lame. The urine was cloudy and irregular and I had to get up many times at night. I lost energy, became weak Doan's Kidney Pills. H. May, Market St., Paris, Tenn., says: "Weak kidneys made my back stiff and lame. The urine was cloudy and irregular and I had to get up many times at night. I lost energy, became weak and could not work. Doan's Kidney Pills removed all the trouble and restored my health and strength." Remember the name—Doan's. Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Only Cure for Consumption. With the present rapid growth of the anti-tuberculosis movement the number of so-called "cures" for consumption is being increased almost daily. Hundreds of quack "doctors," "professors" and "institutes" are advertising that they can cure consumption for small amounts, with the result that thousands of dupes are yearly cheated out of their lives as well as their money. Besides these, "cures" and medicines of all sorts, numbering now several hundred, are sold for the deception of the public. The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis brands all these institutes, doctors, professors and cures as frauds and deceptions. The only cure for consumption is fresh air, rest and wholesome food. Almost Any Mother. The mother of a large family fell ill and died and the attending physician reported that she died of starvation. It was incredible, but he proved it: The woman had to get the dinner and then spend the next two hours in waiting on the family and getting the children to the table. It was never on record that she got all of them there at the same time and they came straggling in all the way from potatoes to pie. By the time she had wiped the last face, her own hunger had left her and she had no desire to eat. Chickens, the doctor said, come running at feed time, but children don't. A hen has a better chance to eat than a mother.—Atchison Globe. A. Sunday Sermon. One must accept life as it is. It gives us great happiness if we are wise enough to see it, and it balances the scales by sending great sorrows, too. But that is life. If you would make the world brighter try to forget your hurts, dry your eyes and turn to help those who need the pressure of a friendly hand, the encouragement of a smiling look. Sorrows and troubles of all kinds should teach one a great lesson—the lesson of universal kindness—New York Times. Died in Good Company A clergyman, who was not averse to an occasional glass, hired an Irishman to clean out his cellar. The Irishman began his work. He brought forth a lot of empty whisky bottles, and as he lifted each one looked through it at the sun. The preacher, who was walking on the lawn, saw him and said: "They are all dead ones, Pat." "They are?" said Pat. "Well, there is one good thing about it—they all had the minister with them when they were dying."—Tid Bits. ON FOOD The Right Foundation of Health. Proper food is the foundation of health. People can eat improper food for a time until there is a sudden collapse of the digestive organs, then all kinds of trouble follows. The proper way out of the difficulty is to shift to the pure, scientific food, Grape-Nuts, for it rebuilds from the foundation up. A New Hampshire woman says: "Last summer I was suddenly taken with indigestion and severe stomach trouble and could not eat food without great pain, my stomach was so sore I could hardly move about. This kept up until I was so miserable life was not worth living. "Then a friend finally, after much argument, induced me to quit my former diet and try Grape-Nuts. "Although I had but little faith I commenced to use it, and great was my surprise to find that I could eat it without the usual pain and distress in my stomach. "So I kept on using Grape-Nuts and soon a marked improvement was shown, for my stomach was performing its regular work in a normal way without pain or distress. "Very soon the yellow coating disappeared from my tongue, the dull, heavy feeling in my head disappeared, and my mind felt light and clear; the languid, tired feeling left, and altogether I felt as if I had been rebuilt. Strength and weight came back rapidly and I went back to my work with renewed ambition. "To-day I am a new woman in mind as well as body, and I owe it all to this natural food, Grape-Nuts." "There's a Reason." Look in pkgs, for the famous little book, "The Road to Wellville." Ever read the above letter? A new one appears from time to time. They are genuine, true, and full of human interest. THE WORLD IN PARAGRAPHS BRIEF RECORD OF PASSING EVENTS IN THIS AND OTHER COUNTRIES. IN LATE DISPATCHES IN LATE DISPATCHES DOINGS AND HAPPENINGS THAT MARK THE PROG- RESS OF THE AGE. WESTERN NEW5. John E. Wilkie, chief of the federal secret service bureau, has declined to accept the position of chief of police of Chicago. Winona, Minn., is fighting an epidemic of infantile paralysis, which attacks children between the ages of 6 months and 10 years, and, where it does not kill, leaves the victims helpless cripples. Oklahoma has been added to the list of Western states in which any variation from tariff rates on fire insurance is made a misdemeanor. Similar laws have been passed this year in Kansas and Texas. From noon, August 6th, to midnight, when the weekly close season commenced, 1,739,000 sockeye salmon were taken from traps and by seiners and landed at the canneries of Bellingham, Blaine, Anacortes in Washington and the lower Frazer. At Cheyenne on the 7th inst. the jury in the case of John (Posey) Ryan, charged with killing his wife, returned a verdict of murder in the second degree, the penalty for which may be from twenty years to life imprisonment. The army transport Logan arrived at San Francisco from Manila on the 10th inst., bringing the Thirtieth infantry, 100 enlisted men of the engineers corps, 38 military prisoners, 90 casuals and 25 men of the signal corps. The Bankers' Deposit Surety Company, an organization formed to insure deposits of Kansas National banks, has been denied permission to do business in the state. The company asked the State Supreme Court for a writ of mandamus. For two hours the people of Clay Center, Kan., were terrorized by eleven elephants which escaped from a show and stamped through the streets. The trouble started when a small dog bit a heel of one of the elephants. Recent rains in Texas have changed the situation regarding cotton materially and it is now believed the yield will be considerably larger than had been expected. Cotton had about ceased growing and the outlook was the most discouraging in many years. Isadore Selig of Myrtle Creek, Ore., drew number one in the great land drawing for the Coeur d'Alene reservation on the 9th inst. John Hedmark. Spokane; Charles T. Cornwell, Spokane; Herman Neubauer, South Tacoma, Wash., were second, third and fourth, respectively. In the United States District Court at Denver on the 9th inst. Federal Judge Robert E. Lewis refused to issue the temporary injunction sought by George J. Kindel against the Rock Island, Colorado & Southern and Santa Fe railroads, to prevent a raise of freight rates to Galveston. A national organization of hotel clerks with local branch unions in all towns in the United States is the project which has been undertaken by the Colorado Hotel Clerks' Association. The association has issued invitations to all the leading hotels, inviting their clerks, auditors and assistant managers to convene at Denver to form the national union. The Rev. Robert J. Burdette, the noted lecturer and humorist, has formally tendered his resignation as pastor of the Temple Baptist Church in Los Angeles and it has been accepted by the board of trustees. Dr. Burdette is ill at his summer home, "Eventide," at Clifton-by-the-Sea, and his resignation was made upon the advice of his physician. He asked that he be made pastor emeritus and this request will be granted. He has been pastor of the Temple Baptist Church since its organization, July 26, 1903. GENERAL NEWS. Col. Albert A. Pope, well known in automobile and bicycle circles throughout the United States and Canada, died in Cohasset, Mass., on the 10th inst. Fire which swept away twenty residences in South Chicago on the morning of the 10th inst. burned six persons to death. A majority of the victims were Poles, who lived in small, crowded tenements. Glowing reports have been received at Buluwayo of the discovery in the Abercorn district of British Central Africa of gold deposits similar to the Rand formation, which are said to extend over an area of six miles. Joy riders who use automobiles without the owners' consent, are liable to $100 fine or ten days in jail under Connecticut's new automobile law. The penalty for operating a car while intoxicated is increased to $500, or one year's imprisonment. Forty infants perished on account of the heat in New York City and vicinity on the 10th inst. At Milan, Italy, on the 10th inst., the balloon Albatross, piloted by Lieutenant Mina, ascended to a height of 11,800 meters, or over seven miles, which is believed to be the world's record. Orville Wright sailed for Europe on the 10th inst. He will make a brief stay in England and then go to Germany to make a series of flights for the company organized to manufacture the Wright aeroplanes. In reply to callers, President Taft is said to have indicated that he will recommend statehood for Arizona and New Mexico in his next message to Congress, asking fulfillment of the Republican platform promise. Native reports received at Amoy, China, indicate that the disaffection in the Chang-Foog district is increasing. The revolutionists have six hundred armed troops, have established a powder manufactory and are continually importing arms. The newly established diamond monopoly of the imperial government in Southwest Africa explains the recent rise in the price of diamonds by the statement that the "sudden prosperity in America makes Americans willing to pay more." An apple crop in the United States slightly in excess of that of a year ago, and 50 per cent. larger in Canada, is the estimate made by Secretary Rothwell before the International Apple Shippers' Association at Buffalo. The quality of the crop is rated poor to good. Charging that the city magistrates' courts of Manhattan are breeding places for anarchy and that the administration of justice there is grossly incompetent and inadequate, the New York committee of 100 announces that it will make these conditions an issue in the next political campaign. Orville Wright, before leaving for Europe, said, in effect, that either he or his brother, Wilbur, barring mishaps, could fly a thousand miles. He said that their perfected machine could carry fuel enough to last twenty-five hours, which would enable it to travel 1,000 miles if a forty-mile speed was maintained. The naval tug Nezinscoot, Captain Evans, with a cargo of anchors, sunk between Portsmouth and Boston in a heavy gale on the 11th inst. and her assistant surgeon, Charles F. Trotter, and three of her crew lost their lives, while nine others, including the captain's wife and boy, reached land after a hard struggle.

The balloon Sirius, which ascended at Challons, France, on Sunday, the 8th inst., under the pillotage of M. Spertenberg, with three passengers, succeeded in flying over the Alps, landing near Locarno at an altitude of 5,400 feet. The Sirius traversed Mont Blanc and soared over the Alquille du Dru and the Alquille Verte. The highest altitude attained was 18,373 feet. Advices received at Tromsoe, Norway, from Spitzbergen, where the Walter Wellman polar expedition is being prepared for an attempt to reach the north pole, say the repairs to the airship shed, which was badly damaged by a storm last June, have been completed and that a gas apparatus has been installed. Mr. Wellman began the inflation of the balloon July 31st. NEWS FROM WASHINGTON. Crop conditions in the United States August 1, 1909, were in the aggregate slightly higher than August 1, 1908, and moderately higher than a ten-year average condition of all crops August 1st. Acting Secretary of the Interior Wilson has designated 1,658,640 acres more of land located in the northwestern part of Montana along the Missouri river near Fort Benton, as coming within the enlarged homestead act. This makes 25,466,200 acres thus designated in Montana. Secretary of the Treasury McVeagh is said to contemplate re-designing the paper currency of the country. His idea is to put the same portrait on all notes of the same denomination, and he also believes that the designs should be so distinctive that no confusion could occur. He thinks that the present size of the paper money could be reduced about one-quarter, conforming in size to the French paper money. Owing to the existence among sheep in Wyoming of a contagious, communicable disease known as lip and leg disease, the secretary of agriculture has declared a quarantine effective August 12th of all the counties in Wyoming except those on the southern border line, prohibiting the interstate transportation, movement or trailing or driving of sheep from the quarantined area except under rigid restrictions and inspection by the bureau of animal industry. After signing the tariff bill, President Taft gave out a statement that he believed it to be the result of sincere effort on the part of the Republican party to make a downward revision and to comply with the promises of the platform as they have been generally understood, and as he interpreted them in the campaign. The visit of President Taft to the Pacific coast and the South, upon which he will start on the 15th of September, will require him to travel a distance of some 13,000 miles and will occupy very nearly two months. AS STRAIGHT MEN SEE HIM. The Dead-Beat Is Probably the Most Despised Creature That Walks the Earth. No man is wholly free from sin, but so many lesser evils are tolerated that a man should hesitate long before becoming a dead-beat. Criminals are despised and abhorred, but to the dead-beat all that is coming, as well as the contempt of his fellow men. There is something at once so mean and so little in taking advantage of the confidence which comes with friendship that the hand of every man is turned against a dead-beat as soon as his reputation is well established. The dead-beat may fondly imagine he is living easy and making money without work, and, of course, he takes no account of the confidence he violates and the hardships he inflicts on others. But, that aside, he really has a harder time than the man who is honest and fair. He is compelled to move a good deal, and peace of mind he knows not. Like other types of crooks, he doesn't prosper, and his finish is more unpleasant than the beginning.—Atchison Globe. WHAT HE FOUND HARD. "Hit suttinly must be hard, Sambo, to have de reputation foah chicken stealin' wot you've got!" "Yass, chile, but chickens is so scarce nowadays, dat de hardest part is tryin' ter live up ter dat reputation!" Like an Earthquake. Former High Sheriff Chesterfield C. Middlebrooks, whose bungalow at Highland lake stands partly over the lake on stone and cement foundations, was awakened at four o'clock the other morning by loud noises which he says shook his bungalow like an earth tremor. He says that after the household had been shaken out of a sound sleep, he, not waiting to dress, went outside to ascertain the cause of the noise. He found, he says, that a monster frog had its bed directly under the bungalow. The frog weighed fully six pounds, he says, and every time it croaked the bungalow cracked and shook. Mr. Middlebrooks bought an anchor, strong rope and enough red flannel to bait 100 hooks, and will try to save his property by capturing the bullfrog.—Winsted (Conn.) dispatch to New York World. Pleasant for Mr. Bennett. William S. Bennett, a representative from New York city, went to address a political meeting in his district one night, when he was much younger than he is now. "The chairman," said Bennett, "was a very literal person. He looked at the gallery, where one woman was sitting, and said: 'Lady and gentlemen, this is a most momentous campaign. There are grave issues to be discussed. Later we will hear from our best speakers, but, for the present, we will listen to Mr. Bennett.'" Strictly After Nature A public building was in course of erection in one of the western towns of Scotland, in front of which a bust of The Bruce was being carved. A well-known ballie halted opposite the sculptor one day and called out: "I say, sculptor, d'ye no think ye hae that beard inclining a wee thing to the left?" "Man, ballie," said the sculptor, "d'ye no see the win's blawin' up the street the noo?"—Tid-Bits. Then He Moved On "Hello!" said the bore, leaning over the office railing, "what's new this morning?" "That paint you're leaning against," gleefully replied the busy man.—Caledonian. Sore throat is no trifling ailment. It will sometimes carry infection to the entire system through the food that is eaten. Hamlin's Wizard Oil is a sure, quick cure.

WHITE NOW IN HIGH FAVOH Color No Longer Regarded as Suitable to Youth Alone Is Sure to Be Much Worn. A growing inclination to wear white is apparent. White was once regarded as the special privilege of youth. Now, with a clearer knowledge of the values of color and a better realization of the importance of surrounding, one indulges one's natural tastes. Perhaps the influence of the period under which fashion is passing has something to do with this, for the women who amused themselves at Trianon used white freely and without stint. Be that as it may, white gowns, and white generally, will be more worn this coming season than ever. White cloth in a variety of makes, satin charmeuse, the cashmere and white serge, in an infinite variety of qualities and thicknesses, will come in for much attention from artists in dress. As to the lingerie gown, its importance in the wardrobe cannot be questioned. It is one of the most useful things to have and, whether worn outside or indoors, permits so much individual taste and charm in contrast that it is quite indispensable. DRESS FOR SMALL CHILD. ```markdown ``` Here is a dainty little dress in cream nun's velling. The pretty-shaped opening at neck is edged with silk galloon; a set of pin tucks are made in centre of front below opening, and also round the foot of skirt; the armholes are edged by galloon. The little silp or blouse, which is separate, is in cream spotted silk, finished at the neck and elbow by a narrow frill. A colored sash is worn below waist. Materials required: 2 yards velling 46 inches wide, $1\frac{1}{4}$ yard silk 36 inches wide, $1\frac{1}{2}$ yard galloon. There is quite a return at present to the use of mahogany candlesticks for the bedrooms and living-room. They are even used on supper tables. The mahogany candlestick is old, with a high polish, and stands quite high on a flat base. The candles are used without shades. A pair of them is a good finish to a mahogany bookcase, also to a mahogany desk. Cotton to Be Worn. Gowns of coarse cotton not embroidered in a heavy crude darning stitch are to be worn in not only white, but colors. They are made over china or other soft silks or even thin cotton of glossy finish Combination Lingerie Both Comfortable and Suitable to the Present Fashion. The work of making lingerie is very much lightened this season by combining three pieces in one. The slim as well as the stout woman approves of this plan. After a woman has worn the three-piece combination, which fastens down the front, is without belts, draw strings, plaits or gathers, she cannot return with satisfaction to wearing the three separate pices. The new garment is worn over the corset, which is placed over a thin lisle-thread skirt or a knee-length combination suit. The latter is more acceptable than any other garment under the corset. The shirt cannot be kept down, and wrinkles around the edge of the corset, making a ridge that shows through the outer skirt. Dressed in this fashion, a woman is more comfortable than she ever has been. Her underclothes are reduced to minimum weight, her waist line is natural and not made larger by strings, buttons and belts, and the lack of petticoats gives her greater freedom in walking. Attractive Empire Combs. Empire combs have come back with the empire coffresses, and in Paris and London there has been a rage for the genuine combs of the period, very high prices being paid in many cases for the antiques. Even where the stones used are not real gems, the design and workmanship often give real value to these combs; but excellent reproductions have been made from many of the most attractive empire designs, and these will content the woman who does not care to spend a large sum upon an ornament which is likely to be but a passing fad. Dealers in antiques tell us, however, that they have sold a number of the genuine old combs, chiefly in dull gilt and pearls.—American Register, London. Tight Sleeves and Low Collars. Women whose arms are either very full or very thin dislike the revelation of the sleeve that is guiltless of any fulness whatsoever. But for the woman who can wear the smaller sleeve nothing is more chic at present, for it gives a very narrow-shouldered, slender look to the most corpulent figure. Collars are less exaggerated than they were a year ago, and the shawl collars and collarless necks of the new coats are a boon to women who do their own tailoring. They are awfully good style and very easy to make.—Delineator. Coral Linen Frocks. Coral linen is a good material for, the foundation of a walking suit which is to be self-trimmed, soutached, outlined with eyelet or made severely plain. Black should be introduced in the trimming scheme, though not in a marked degree. A black hat is suitable for wear with a coral linen frock, providing the dress shows just the least particle of black, which is easily obtained in piped lines. Fashion is an Economy. For once we have stumbled on a fashion that is really an economy, for instead of having a high-necked gown for the theater and a semi-low necked gown for an informal dinner, woman now needs but one dress for both oc casions. Ask a number of men who have worked for years at desk, in shop or elsewhere and are still strong and ready for a hard day's work. You will find that nine out of ten eat meat and plenty of it, for there is nothing else equal to good, wholesome meat properly cooked for making muscle and brain power. GOOD, WHOLESOME MEAT THEN IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ARTICLE YOU HAVE TO BUY. REASONABLE PRICES ARE IMPORTANT IF YOU BUY MUCH MEAT.
