LOYALTY, UNITY AND PURITY Race loyalty, race unity and race purity are today the three greatest needs. Indeed this is an age of trials and temptations. Our race is being tried, ridiculed, killed, murdered and used more as a tool for some one else than ever before. We need race loyalty to be respected, if we are not loyal to one another how can we expect other races to be loyal to us, or how can we be true to ourselves. Race unity, in the name of God how can we ever accomplish much for ourselves or race when we are divided. Unity of purpose, unity of action. In union there is strength. Oh what a power we would wield if only we would work together in union, harmony and peace. Race purity, the morals of our race is ebbing very low, and we are not doing anything to change the tide. In fact many of us are sitting idly by, and young men and girls go to ruin. We sometimes help it on and never cry out against it. We must correct the immoral conduct of our race; no one else can do it for us. Let every minister, teacher and public man in every community denounce these wrong things and see that it is stopped. These things are doingus more harm than any other one thing. Let us think and act well our part. There all the trouble lies. CUMMINS FOR GOVERNOR It is indeed a pleasure as well as a pride for the Bystander to be permitted to announce in another part of this paper the name of Iowa's honored son and distinguished statesman, Hon. Albert B. Cummins, present Governor, who has kindly yielded to the wishes of his many friends to become a candidate again for Governor. Not for the mere fact of being governor for another term, but to maintain the principles that he has been struggling to establish in Iowa; namely: to regulate corporate and railroad interest from control of our state and county politics, to re-establish the people in power again, to see that no corporations receive special privileges, but all must share the burdens equally alike, to abolish the abusive railroad pass system, to adjust the tariff rate, to regulate the railroad rate charges and to establish a state wide primary election. In short he stands for the people, with the people and of the people. He has made the best governor that Iowa has had. Able, fearless, honest, eloquent, scholarly and courageous to do his duty, as ever true public servant should do. America has heard this eloquent son of Iowa, and like the citizens will so do will honor him with greater trust and duties in national affairs. TUSKEGEE QUARTER CENTURY ANNIVERSARY On last Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday the great industrial school of Booker T. Washington at Tuskegee celebrated her silver jubilee—she has reached her quarter of century mark. It was a great week for Tuskegee. In another part of the paper we give a brief synopsis of the program. On this occasion were some of the greatest scholars and most distinguished educators, both colored and white in America, and some of the wealthiest men of America. This meeting means a great deal to the personal worth and earnest labors of Prof. Washington. For twenty-five years he struggled to make Tuskegee what it is; for twenty-five years he has sit as president of this school—he has seen it grow from 30 pupils, a one room log cabin with only 1 teacher, until now he has 86 buildings, all frame and brick, over 100 teachers and officers with 2,300 acres of good land 900 in cultivation, with an enrollment now of 1,500 students from all parts of the world. M. H. ALBERT B. CUMMINS FOR GOVERNOR. umns of Negro progress and more eloquently then pen or tongue. May this noble race educator live another quarter century to bless and elevate humanity still more. DOWIE AND HIS ENEMIES John Alexander Dowie, the self-styled first prophet, who has in this late age astonished the world by his doctrine and has built up Zion City near Chicago, Ill., is about to be deposed by his own wife and chosen overseer, Voliva. Dowie has just hasten back from his Mexican tour to face his accusers and to re-establish his prophetic authority. We do not care to take sides, yet we are inclined to think it unwise to try to destroy the very father and founder of this sect, because of petty jealousy or personal hatred. Those people remind us of the colored race, they are jealous of the success of one another. There are always some colored people in the community ready to depose or tear down the good you may be doing. ALBERT B. CUMMIN The above cut is a true likeness of Hon. Albert B. Cummins of Des Moines, who is a candidate for governor to succeed himself. He was born in Pennsylvania in 1850; he was born of poor parentage. Young Cummins struggled hard to receive a common public school education. He learned the carpenters' trade, which profession he followed awhile, later he worked on the railroad and finally he entered the Waynesburg University where he graduated. Mr. Cummins came to Iowa in 1869 and entered the practice of law and soon won honors as a lawyer. By his honesty, strictness to business, and thoroughness with which his trained legal JUDGE. Among the candidates for office whose names are appearing upon the Republican primary ticket we desire to call particular attention to that of Charles S. Bradshaw, who is a candidate for district judge and whose candidacy seems to meet with great popular favor. Mr. Bradshaw was born in Tama County, Iowa where his father has been one of the leading lawyers for over forty years. He came to Des Moines several years ago and entered the Law Department of Drake University where he graduated with the highest honors. He immediately began the practice of law in Des Moines and has lived here ever since. While yet comparatively a young man, Mr. Bradshaw has achieved a reputation as one of our best trial lawyers. He has been a member of the well-known firm of Kinne, Hune & Bradshaw, and later Kinne & Bradshaw, his partner being the late Judge L. G. Kinne of the "State Board of Control," and Justice of the Supreme Court. While numbering among his clients many of the best business men of the city of Des Moines, he has the reputation of being always willing to flight the battle of the poor and many of our people can testify to assistance of this nature received at his hands. It is said of him that he has never been known to turn away a client because he was too poor to pay large fees. He has long been an active Republican worker, never before asked for or held any office. In our judgment if nominated and elected, he will make an excellent judge. He is broad minded, and is sure to give all classes of people absolute justice and fair treatment. He merits your support. MT. PLEASANT NOTES. Mrs. T. L. Burnett has been quiet ill for the past two weeks, as this writing her condition is somewhat improved. Protected meetings are being held at the Second Baptist church. The Presiding Eider's committee will give a pink tea at the A. M. E. church Thursday night. The Easter services at the A. M. E. church will be morning service at eleven a.m. sermon by Rev. Christbergh at three p. m. Easter programme by the Sunday School, 7:30 Christian Endeavor at 8:00 o'clock song service by choir. An Easter programme will be given by the Second Baptist Sunday School on Sun NS FOR GOVERNOR. mind mastered each case soon won for him the leadership of the Polk county bar and even the state bar. He was elected to the legislature and was a candidate for United States Senator in 1899, in that memorable fight against Senator John H. Gear, and only lacked two votes of being nominated. In 1900 he was nominated governor at Cedar Rapids and was elected by a larger majority than any of his predecessors. He is the father of the Iowa idea and stands for the progressive idea on public affairs. He is a true exponent of the Roosevelt idea in its fullest meaning and we predict he will become his successor. He merits your earnest support for governor of Iowa. day afternoon. Mrs. Celia Pool left Saturday for a visit to Salem and Ft. Madison. The I. K. S. club met Thursday evening at the home of Miss Carrie McCreeken. The following officers were elected; President, Miss Carry McCrecken; Vice President, Lydia F. B. Fartlett; Secretary and T treasure, Ruth Granddson; Chaplain, Ione Mason; Critio Mason, Susan Granddson. The reports of the officers show that although the club ed not entertain extensively during the winter, their work along literary lines have been greater than it has been for sometime. The Home Culture Club met Thursday afternoon with Mrs. Rena Logan. afternoon with Mrs. Bena Logan, Mr. and Mrs. Jackson who are visiting at the home of Mr. M. Mosley, have both been on the sick list for the past week. CLINTON BRIEFS. Easter will be observed in appropriate manner at Bethel A. M. E church at the evening service a musical programme will be rendered under the personal direction of Miss Estella Bush. Wm. Riggs a former Clinton boy is in the city this week for the past few months he has made his home in Batavia, Ill. but Price, Five Cents. we are informed he still has a high regard for Clinton and may again make this city home. Mr. and Mrs. Hall and Williams are now nicely located in there own home recently purchased on Third Avenue. J. M. Hancock was in Chicago last week on business. On Monday evening a concert will be given at Bethel A. M. E. church under auspices of the Y. P. S. C. E. The revival which has been going on for the past three weeks, will come to a close the last of this week. For the first time in years Clinton experienced a decidedly dry Sunday. The new Mayor having fastened the lid on tight by prohibiting the sale of liquors in any form. Allison machines have been made to go and the city council considered favorably this week the matter of a high license ordinance. Clinton now seems to be on the verge of a season of reform to what extent we cannot say. DEFORD FOR SUPERVISOR. The above cut is the likeness of L. H. DeFord, the present County Supervisor from the Fifth district, who lives near Valley Junction. Mr. DeFord is one of our Polk county boys; having been born in this county in 1851 and his entire life has been spent on the farm in Walnut township, and has made a success of his own occupation. He has been a member of our county board for three terms, and his record has been very creditable to the county and tax payers of his district. He is now chairman of the board and is one of the best known men in the county for honesty, integrity and hard work. He was a member of the board when the new court house was started, and knows every detail of the building since it has been in construction, and as it is nearing completion, it is very essential that the same board should remain until it is completed, because they can render better service by their past experience. Mr. DeFord has always been a hard working republican and has never held any office before in his life, and his friends think he should serve one term longer. YANKTON ITEMS Who said that old man Winter Jad taken Miss Spring's place? Why it was 84 degree in the shade Friday, now what? Rev. Jas. Washington arrived Saturday to conduct his regular fortnightly services here on Sunday. Mrs. Judy Askew returned to Sioux City last week. She took her little grandchild Helen Dowdy with her. Mr. Banter was able to attend church Sunday. Louis A. Smith returned Friday after a four months visit to his farmland up in Bonestee. He says things were never in a better condition, especially the soil. He has planted some bale, however and expects to return in a few weeks to plant corn. Didn't know that Louise was a first class farmer. The Wiling Workers met in its regular weekly session. Thursday at the home of the Dowdy's Dowdy, Miss Bydie E. Dowdy as hostess was ably assisted in serving luncheon by Miss Priscilla B. Stokes. H. O. Robinson is reported quite spok. Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Patterson have left Yankton to make their future home at Tydual. S. D. Another member in the peron of Mr. D. Bridge no., has admired his name to the list of Sunday School scholars. It all the members were regular attendants we would always have a crowded Sunday School, but I regret to state that this is not the case. Mrs. Eliza Stokes was a little under the weather bunday, nothing serious however. Misses Arabella and Byrdie Dowdy so-compiled by their brother Clinton departed Wednesday morsang for Sioux City to attend the wedding of Mr. M. Akew, who is to be married there that evening to Miss Anne MaceLee. Geo. Blind who has been under the doctor's care for several weeks is said to be still in a serious condition.

The Afro-American Union Club had a very interesting meeting last Tuesday-night at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Patterson. There were some remarks made by the following gentlemen who were visitors, E. W. Thompson, Edward Carter, Wesley Thompson and Lawrence. Jones Mr. Patterson then furnished the club with music, J. B. Brown and Thomas McDavain made a few responsive remarks to the visitors after which Mrs. Mae Patterson, Mattie Dameron and Samuel Patterson served a three course supper, after which games were played.

E. church Sunday evening in observance of Easter the Sunday School children will furnish most of the talent. Miss Ora Brown has been confined to her room for more than two weeks with an attack pneumonia. She is better at this writing. The paramount question is just now what are you going to wear next Sunday? I dare say if the weather is good on that day all the colors of the rainbow will be displayed the enn is hid behind the horizon and we would suggest it might be well to remember the old adage, never mind if your clothes are ragged and torn fix them up make them do it is better by far than to go in debt for the new. Ellie Mason was among the sick last week. Editor of the Bystander; I note in your issue of Friday the 6th, a very timely editorial met the attitude of the republican party and the Negro and I desire to hereby express my hearty endorsement of the same and to add the suggestion that it is time that the Negro voters of Polk County begin to consider seriously the situation, to stop their fighting of one another and come together and put up and support candidates of their own race, not only with their votes but with all the influence it is possible for them to bring to bear upon their friends among both races. We have a Negro candidate for constable Ira M. Jones, and if all the Negroes in the township regardless of sect or creed will only take a little interest in the matter and try to interest their friends of both races in it. Let us do this and thereby nominate and elect our own candidate for it is useless for us to expect members of the other race to do for us what we are not willing to do for ourselves. Very truly yours, A. Joe Brown BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON. Rev. T. Smith is able to be out again after being confined to his home for a few days. F. Olden is on the sick list.

On last Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday the great industrial school of Booker T. Washington at Tuskegee celebrated her silver jubilee—she has reached her quarter of century mark. It was a great week for Tuskegee. In another part of the paper we give a brief synopsis of the program. On this occasion were some of the greatest scholars and most distinguished educators, both colored and white in America, and some of the wealthiest men of America. This meeting means a great deal to the personal worth and earnest labors of Prof. Washington. For twenty-five years he struggled to make Tuskegee what it is; for twenty-five years he has sit as president of this school—he has seen it grow from 30 pupils, a one room log cabin with only 1 teacher, until now he has 86 buildings, all frame and brick, over 100 teachers and officers with 2,300 acres of good land 900 in cultivation, with an enrollment now of 1,500 students from all parts of the world. This one institution speaks vol- While numbering among his clients many of the best business men of the city of Des Moines, he has the reputation of being always willing to flight the battle of the poor and many of our own people can testify to assistance of this nature received at his hands. It is said of him that he has never been known to turn away a client because he was too poor to pay large fees. He has long been an active Republican worker, never before asked for or held any office. In our judgment if nominated and elected, he will make an excellent judge. He is broad minded, and is sure to give all classes of people absolute justice and fair treatment. He merits your support. Mrs. T. L. Burnett has been quiet ill for the past two weeks, as this writing her condition is somewhat improved. Protracted meetings are being held at the Second Baptist church. The Presiding Eider's committee will give a pink tea at the A. M. E. church Thursday night. The Easter services at the A. M. E. church will be morning service at eleven a.m. sermon by Rev.

He was elected to the legislature and was a candidate for United States Senator in 1899, in that memorable fight against Senator John H. Gear, and only lacked two votes of being nominated. In 1900 he was nominated governor at Cedar Rapids and was elected by a larger majority than any of his predecessors. He is the father of the Iowa idea and stands for the progressive idea on public affairs. He is a true exponent of the Roosevelt idea in its fullest meaning and we predict he will become his successor. He merits your earnest support for governor of Iowa. day afternoon. Mrs. Celia Pool left Saturday for a visit to Salem and Ft. Madison. The I. K. S. club met Thursday evening at the home of Miss Carrie McCracken. The following officers were elected: President, Miss Carry McCracken; Vice-President, Lydia F. Bartlett; Secretary and T treasure, Ruth Grandison; Chaplain, Ione Mason; Critic Mrs, Susan Grandison. The reports of the officers show that although the club did not entertain extensively during the winter, their work along literary lines have been greater than it has been for sometime. The Home Culture Club met Thursday afternoon with Mrs. Rena Logan. Mr. and Mrs. Jackson who are visiting at the home of Mr. M. Mosley, have both been on the sick list for the past week. Easter will be observed in appropriate manner at Bethel A. M. E church at the evening service a musical programme will be rendered under the personal direction of Miss Estella Bush. Wm.

May this noble race educator live another quarter century to bless and elevate humanity still more. DOWIE AND HIS ENEMIES John Alexander Dowie, the self-styled first prophet, who has in this late age astonished the world by his doctrine and has built up Zion City near Chicago, Ill., is about to be deposed by his wife and chosen overseer, Voliva. Dowie has just hasten back from his Mexican tour to face his accusers and to re-establish his prophetic authority. We do not care to take sides, yet we are inclined to think it unwise to try to destroy the very father and founder of this sect, because of petty jealousy or personal hatred. Those people remind us of the colored race, they are jealous of the success of one another. There are always some colored people in the community ready to depose or tear down the good you may be doing. The above cut is a true likeness of Hon. Albert B. Cummins of Des Moines, who is a candidate for governor to succeed himself. He was born in Pennsylvania in 1850; he was born of poor parentage. Young Cummins struggled hard to receive a common public school education. He learned the carpenters' trade, which profession he followed awhile, later he worked on the railroad and finally he entered the Waynesburg University where he graduated. Mr. Cummins came to Iowa in 1869 and entered the practice of law and soon won honors as a lawyer. By his honesty, strictness to business, and thoroughness with which his trained legal BRADSHAW FOR DISTRICT JUDGE. Among the candidates for office whose names are appearing upon the Republican primary ticket we desire to call particular attention to that of Charles B. Bradshaw, who is a candidate for district judge and whose candidacy seems to meet with great popular favor. Mr. Bradshaw was born in Tama County, Iowa where his father has been one of the leading lawyers for over forty years. He came to Des Moines several years ago and entered the Law Department of Drake University where he graduated with the highest honors. He immediately began the practice of law in Des Moines and has lived here ever since. While yet comparatively a young man, Mr. Bradshaw has achieved a reputation as one of our best trial lawyers. He has been a member of the well-known firm of Kinne, Hume & Bradshaw, and later Kinne & Bradshaw, his partner being the late Judge L. G. Kinne of the "State Board of Control," and Justice of the Supreme MT. PLEASANT NOTES. CLINTON BRIEFES Price.

Mr. and Mrs. Hall and Williams are now nicely located in there own home recently purchased on Third Avenue. J. M. Hancock was in Chicago last week on business. On Monday evening a concert will be given at Bethel A. M. E. church under auspices of the Y. P. S. C. E. The revival which has been going on for the past three weeks, will come to a close the last of this week. For the first time in years Clinton experienced a decidedly dry Sunday. The new Mayor having fastened the lid on tight by prohibiting the sale of liquors in any form. Allison machines have been made to go and the city o'meil considered favorably this week the matter of a high license ordinance. Clinton now seems to be on the verge of a season of reform to what extent we cannot say. DEFORD FOR SUPERVISOR. The above cut is the likeness of L. H. DeFord, the present County Supervisor from the Fifth district, who lives near Valley Junction. Mr. DeFord is one of our Polk county boys; having been born in this county in 1851 and his entire life has been spent on the farm in Walnut township, and has made a success of his own occupation. P. H. He has been a member of our county board for three terms, and his record has been very creditable to the county and tax payers of his district. He is now chairman of the board and is one of the best known men in the county for honesty, integrity and hard work. He was a member of the board when the new court house was started, and knows every detail of the building since it has been in construction, and as it is nearing completion, it is very essential that the same board should remain until it is completed, because they can render better service by their past experience. Mr. DeFord has always been a hard working republican and has never held any office before in his life, and his friends think he should serve one term longer. YANKTON ITEMS Who said that old man Winter had taken Miss Spring's place? Why it was 84 degree in the shade Friday, now what? Rev. Jas. Washington arrived Saturday to conduct his regular fortnightly services here on Sunday. Mrs. Judy Askew returned to Sioux City last week. She took her little grandchild Helen Dowdy with her. Mr. Baxter was able to attend church Sunday. Louis A. Smith returned Friday after a four months visit to his farmland up in Bonesteel. He says things were never in a better condition, especially the soil. He has planted some bark, however and expects to return in a few weeks to plant corn. Didn't know that Louise was a first class farmer. The Willing Workers met in its regular weekly session, Thursday at the home of the Miss Dowdy's, Miss Byrdie E. Dowdy as hostess was able assisted in serving luncheon by Miss Priscilla B. Stokes. R. O. Robinson is reported quite sick. Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Patterson have left Yankton to make their future home at Tyudal, S. D. Another member in the person of Mr. D. Bridge man, has added his name to the list of Sunday School scholars. It all the members were regular attendants we would always have a crowded Sunday School, but I regret to state that this is not the case. Mrs. Eliza Stokes was a little under the weather Sunday, nothing serious however. Misses Arabella and Byrdie Dowdy ac,companied by their brother Clinton departed Wednesday morning for Sioux City to attend the wedding of Mr. M. Askew, who is to be married there that evening to Miss Ann Mace Lee. Geo. Blind who has been under the doctor's care for several weeks is said to be still in a serious condition.

The club adjourned until next Tuesday evening, when they will meet at Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Patterson. A programme will be given at the A. M. E. church Sunday evening in observance of Easter the Sunday School children will furnish most of the talent. Miss Ora Brown has been confined to her room for more than two weeks with an attack pneumonia. She is better at this writing. The paramount question is just now what are you going to wear next Sunday? I dare say if the weather is good on that day all the colors of the rainbow will be displayed are the sun is hid behind the horizon and we would suggest it might be well to remember the old adage, never mind if your clothes are ragged and torn fix them up make them do it is better by far than to go in debt for the new. Effie Mason was among the sick last week. Editor of the Bystander: I note in your issue of Friday the 6th, a very timely editorial met the attitude of the republican party and the Negro and I desire to hereby express my hearty endorsement of the sane and to add the suggestion that it is time that the Negro voters of Polk County begin to consider seriously the situation, to stop their fighting of one another and come together and put up and support candidates of their own race, not only with their votes but with all the influence it is possible for them to bring to bear upon their friends among both races. We have a Negro candidate for constable Ira M. Jones, and if all the Negroes in the township regardless of sect or creed will only take a little interest in the matter and try to interest their friends of both races in it. Let us do this and thereby nominate and elect our own candidate for it is useless for us to expect members of the other race to do for us what we are not willing to do for ourselves. Very truly yours, B. Joe Brown Rev. T. Smith is able to be out again after being confined to his home for a few days. F. Olden is on the sick list. Mr. Nelson of Seattle, Wash., has bought an interest in the restaurant conducted by John Gullard and he expects to locate here. The Literary society met Monday evening at the Baptist church and a very interesting programme was rendered. A very beautiful scene was witnessed last Sunday p. m. when two young men were led into the calm still waters to be baptized in the name of the father son and holy ghost. Rev. Collins officiated. The colored people are showing great progress in Behring on this spring. Mr. and Mrs. Clay have purchased a home and Mr. Bryant will improve his home in the near future. Mr. and Mrs. Will Riddle have moved to 202 Onio street. They are contemplating on buying soon. Mrs. T. Cate has just completed a very fine piece of tapestry. It was taken from a painting of U. S. T.

Mr, Harriman says such plans have ‘never been con- sidered: Des Moines, April 10.—Mr. and Mrs Clyde Harvey, who were given three years for burning thelr hotel in Gld- den, Aug. 6, 1904, in which tho Hobbs brothers met death, were given a new trial by the supreme court yes: terday. ‘The court says that {t was proper to admit the testimony of a woman that when sho saw Mrs, Hatue Har vey, a few minutes after the fire was discovered, the womans hair was done up perfectly and not a stray strand floated even about her fever: ed temples as she stood by her hus: band and saw the flames lick up thelr property and with it the lives of thelr two boarders. ‘The court says that the state could not seriously and did not charge that the firo was set to cover a more heinous crime for the watches and many coins and valuables were founa mingled with the charred bodies ot the Hobbs brothers after the ruins and wreck of the hotel were cooled. Judge Powers, in instructing tho Jury at Carroll, ‘told tt that 1 must find that “the ‘defendants or one of them feloniously set the fire," in or der to find them guilty. The defend- ants relied on that “or one of thom.” It Is a rulo that when persons are jolntly tried for a crime which may have been committed by one and not the other the court may not say that both shall be convicted or cleared; each bas the right to have his indi vidual gullt passed upon by the fury. Hence the case is reversed, and the Harveys get their new trial. SHAW IS TURNED DOWN. Man Who Tested Soldiers’ Preference Law Fails To Get Benefit. Marshalltown, April 11—For the fifth time in as many years the city of Marshalltown refused to appoint Capt. C. H. Shaw elty clerk of Mar shalltown. Captain Shaw was given a hearing that lasted an hour and a half, and after listening to many aff davits, and examining the records o1 the clerk’s office, as kept by both ap- plicants while incumbents, the council adopted a resolution selecting Mr. Derby, and then formally elected the present incumbent to succeed him self as clty clerk. A writ of man- damus will be applied for by Captain Shaw's counsel in an attempt to take the matter to the district court, where ft will be allegod that the ac: tion of the council was no action at all, because the council did not find that Mr. Shaw 1s incompetent. Mr, Shaw attained considerable no- torlety by pushing the test case of the soldiers, and although successful in his contention, he fails to reap any fruits from his victory.

On tho other hand It 1s known that It no rate legislation Is enacted the president will call an extra session ‘This fact will welgh strongly against an adjournment without any Ill bo. ing passed, Senator Allison was tn conference ‘with the president on the rate question on the Gth, Senators Long and Nelson were thero also. ‘The president continued his policy of calling In democratic senators and nd a conference of about two hours with Senator Rayner of Maryland ‘The democrats of the senate made a move for a conference on the rate question on tho 6th, and attempted fb aecnre enought kiguawutes to, was Fant calling one, but the idea was abandoned. "In urging an agreement as to the timo of voting, Senator ‘Till ‘man pointed out that nearly all the democrats had spoken who desired to speak. Much republican eloquence, however, {s still to be heard, Senator Auison has not yet made a sot speech on the rate question, but it 1s expect: ed that he will do so and will have something to. say before the legisla cure closes. In his recent address on the rall road rate bill Senator Elias announe ed his conefuston in the following language: ‘“Birst—That any legislation av tempting to confer upon tho Interstate commerce commission the power tc fix rates will be unconstitutional un less {t prescribes the standard of charges which stall control, and te quires the commission 0 conform thereto In fixing rates. “Second—That any legislation at tompting to fix rates would be wn constitutional whose practical effect Is to deny to common carriers the right to Invoke and obtain, in due time, the protection of the courts from belng compelled. to transport persons or property at rates which violate tho carrier's constitutioral rights.” He declared that tho pending bill works a clear delegation of the con gressional power to fix rates, and added: “It would seem, therefore, neces sarily to follow ‘that the provisions of the bill coierring rate fixing power upon the commission are un constitutional.” Much talk continues to bo hearc in Washington that the president wit before long take up the tariff rovistor question and that ho 1s seriously contemplating sending a special mes sage to congress about tt, looking tc some preliminary action at this ses. sion and revision next session. Senators Alllgon and Dolliver of lowa had a conferenco with the preal- dent at the White House on the even- ing of the ach, regarding the railroad rato bill. Neither of the Senators would discuss the talk they had with the president teyond saying that there was'’a merely incidental discussion of the rato bill situatton.” Representative Norris of Nebraska got a favorable report from the com: mittee on election of president, vice president and representatives for his Joint. resolution for popular election of senators and extending to four yeara the term of members of the ‘use. He believes tha the bill tas a good show of being passed, es peclally that part relating to the ex. fension of the terms of members of the house. Judge Norris urges that the present two year term for mem pera of the house works an Injustice ‘0 the members and to the country.

You can use it just as a long, shiny hair perm. It is gentle on the hair. Nelson's Hair Dressing softens harsh, stubborn, refractory hair, prevents it from becoming dry and brittle, and enables you to do it up in any style consistent with your hair. As a Hair Grower we consider Nelson's Hair Dressing the equal of anything made. It supplies the needed oil directly to the roots of the hair, softens and moistens the hair, and promotes the growth of hair. It stops the hair from falling out, beekeeping oil and splitting at the ends, which is nearly always due to lack of natural oil in the hair. Nelson's Hair Dressing is an excellent remedy for all kinds of Scalp Diseases such as Tetter, Itching and scaling of the Scalp, Dandruff, &c. Nelson's Hair Dressing is delightfully perfumed; put up in handmade 4-ounce square tin boxes (like one shown in cut), and sold everywhere by druggists and agents at 35 cents a box. If you cannot find it in your town, send us 30 cents in stamp and we will mail you a size shelf box, postage paid. Address: Nelson Manufacturing Co., Richmond, Va. WE WANT GOOD AGENTS.
