EDITORIALS. AMEND LAWS FOR NEGRO He Wanted His Estate to Go to Charity, But Left No Will. Davenport, Ia., Sept. 22.—The state legislature of Iowa at its next session will be asked to adopt a special act in order that the estate of Jack wright, a colored janitor of Davenport, may be distributed among charitable institutions. Wright's savings when he died a few months ago were found to amount to $2,163. He had often expressed the desire that his money be distributed to charity after his death, but he died suddenly, leaving no will and no known heirs. John G. Cary, administrator, has asked the court to be allowed to hold the funds intact that the legislature at the next session may be asked to adopt a special act relinquishing its claim on the estate and permitting the money to be distributed among charities to be agreed on. DISCUSSED THE NEGRO QUESTION. Dr. —— Simms, pastor of the Presbyterian church at Vinton, Ia., delivered a lecture last Monday night at Grace Methodist church on Nineteenth and Crocker streets, entitled "What Shall we do with the Negro, or what will he do with us." Dr. Simms discussed it from a white man's point of view, as he is southerner by nature, birth and environments, and has only been north one year. He is a Tennesseeian; his grand-parents owned many slaves and he was raised among them and know their traits and habits as but few white men in the north does. He is a friend, as he says, of the Negro and discussed this great question from a high, broad Christian point of view. Some of strong points that he dwelt upon was that Vardanan, Tillman, Dixon and John Sharp Williams and that class do not represent the the true sentiment of the south at all; true they are in office—the get into office by trickery and catering to a class of white people who hate the Negro and would do anything to keep him down. While the large aristocratic class do not bother with politics; hence often the wild-eyed political trixter gets into office. Another good point was that there was thousands and thousands of good honest conscientious law abiding citizens as the world affords, but with that class of people there is no problem, and if all the colored people were like this class there would be no necessity of a race problem, but there is another large idle, shiftless, ignorant, disrespectful class of colored people in the southland and the problem is what shall we do with them, even with all of this class many faults, I a southerner, can see some good in them. Some of these are that while they steal chickens, watermelons or a 25c piece occasionally, they never rob banks, stores, etc. If you put 500 or a 1,000 dollars into their hands, upon their honor to keep it for you until you came back for it, you are absolutely sure that it will be there when you return. Then again this class will never connive to take the job of another colored person. This is unusual. Then again this class doesn't carry malace in their hearts against you and seldom commit murder. They will kill in heat of angry, but if he waits and thinks about it until next day he seldom commits the murder; while the white man will wait a year and then kill you. Another good point, he said that the separation of the Negro in the south made the Negro more independent, thrifty and to trust one another, especially the colored professional men and colored business men, whom they Getting your salary raised Younker's Greater Econmy Basement are forced to go to, otherwise they would not go to our own colored men to trade. colored men to trade. He says that the white men do not lynch a Negro because he is colored, but because of the crime of assault and rape, and they lynch any man, be he white, black or red. They are taught to lynch for the crime committed and not the person. It was indeed a very fair presentation of the present day Negro problem in the south. NEW CITY ADMINISTRATON. Last week we asked the Republican commissioners why they had not appointed colored men to some position in their department, for they all pledged themselves if they were elected they would give the colored man a chance and none had done so; but upon investigation we found that Mr. Wesley Ash has fulfilled his promise. He has five colored men in his department and they all speak well of him. So we are sorry that we included Mr. Ash last week in our censure; but we want to know why John McVicar, John Hamery, and Charley Schramm don't do their duty with their colored constituents; even Mr. Mathis, a democrat, is doing better than our so-called friends. CURRENT LITERATURE. The Western Lever is the name of a new monthly magazine, that we had previously announced its coming, reached our office last week. It is up-to-date systematically arranged, with some good articles pertaining to the uplifting and bettering of all races, but especially our race. The editor's cut, Rev. J. D. Pettigrew, graces the cover page, also a neatly designer, heading. We congratulate Bro. Pettigrew and wish for the Western Lever a successful voyage on the journalistic sea. The Goldfield Commercial Review a new publication launched its shields last month in Goldfield, Nevada, the only colored paper in that state. We wish for W. C. McFarland abundant success in his golden state. Negro Disfranchisement the Democratic Purpose From West Virginia Democratic Platform 1988 JIM CROW PLANK. We favor the enactment of a law requiring common carriers engaged in passenger traffic to furnish separate coaches or compartments for white and colored passengers. FRANCHISE PLANK. Believeing that the extension of the elective franchise to a race inferior in intelligence and without preparation for the wise and prudent exercise of a privilege so vital to the maintenance of good government, was a mistake, if not a crime committed by the Republican party, during the reign of passion and prejudice following the Civil War, for political ends and purposes, we declare that the Democratic party is in favor of so amending the Constitution as to preserve the purity of the ballot, and the electorate of the state from the evil results from conferring such power and privilege upon those who are unfitted to appreciate its importance, as it effects the stability and preservation of good government.

Power of Woman's Tongue. A woman's tongue is only three inches long, but it can kill a man ally feet high.—Japanese. A BROTHER'S DAY. There is no better test of a gentle man than his treatment of women, to which ought every young man to show the highest, truest gallantry. So whom ought he first to be a most true and loyal knight? To whom if set to his own sisters? Do they not some first in the circle of those to whom he owes honor? Have they not the first claim on his affection? If he is not respectful and loyal to his own sisters, can he be at heart a true gentleman to any other woman? Can a young man be manly and treat his own sisters with less respect than he treats other young ladies? asks the New Weekly. His cavalry must show itself first toward those who are closest to him in natural ties. He must show them the truest deference. He must treat them with that delicate regard, that gentle, affectionate respect, that indicates the loftiest gallantry. He must consider himself their true knight, whose office it is to throw about them every needed protection, to serve them, and to promote their highest good in every way. There is no young man with one spark of true manliness who will not instinctively defend his sister. He will put himself instantly between her and danger. Neither is there any brother worthy of the name who will not defend the honor of his sister if vile tongues asperse it. But more than this is required of a loyal brother. He should make himself a wall about his sister to shield her from every evil and unholy influence. A Woman's Apathy. It is unquestionably true that one of the greatest obstacles in the woman's path of industrial progress has been her own apathy. She is reproached by the men in her trade for her lack of interest in trade unionism; she is reproached by the philanthropist for her lack of ambition — her seeming willingness to remain skilled and underpaid. But in this new movement for the franchise, says Edith Abbott, in Atlantic, we have the women who are already in the ranks of the skilled workers, and who have long since proved their capacity for organization taking another great step forward. They have at last learned that their industrial regeneration can come only through their own efforts and the importance of this new spirit of independence, this enlarging of the working woman's sphere of activity to demand a "voice in the laws that regulate her toll," would be difficult to overestimate. Already air navigators are beginning to tell us what to do. One of the first things they ask is that the name of the town should be painted in large letters on the tops of tall buildings, so that he who flies may read. Then the navigator can know whether he is over Michigan or Mississippi, over a wet or a dry town, or nearly his voyage. This request appears to presuppose that flying will be confined to the United States. However, if the invention is successful people will fly in all directions. Therefore the names of the towns would have to be printed in every language represented in the International Flyers' union. We see now where the need of Esperanto comes in. The aviators can put in their spare time studying that language as they flit from land to land, for they can't possibly get a daily paper up while they are up there. A New York judge has set a good example by sending to prison for 30 days a chauffeur who used his employer's automobile without permission and damaged it. He acted under a statute which forbids wilful or malicious destruction of property, and in rendering sentence declared that dereferent if a machine had been damaged to the extent of ten cents by a chauffeur's unauthorized use, he would inflict punishment under that law. A great deal of the reckless driving is done by these irresponsible men when alone and the public as well as the owners of machines would be benefited by swift punishment of the offenders. When a young speeder was arrested in a New York town the police refused to take his watch as security, but accepted the picture of a handsome young woman inside on his statement that it was to him more than all the money in the world. All the world loves a lover, even that part of the world supposed to be officially heartless. The Washington Post says that a man named Zero was drowned in Pennsylvania, and refers to the sad ending of a "naughtical" expedition. Perhaps the joke is as good as could be made upon so melancholy a topic, and it is a pity to mar it, but the truth is that Mr. Zero succumbed to the heat. The German emperor, we are informed, has 45 castles in Germany. That is a small number compared to those he has erected in Spain. A man in New Madison, O., has written 12,633 words on a post card. He must be the same man who sends letters to the editor. Though the sultan hated to bow to the inevitable, the inevitable was so polite and insistent that he could not resist. 11 Sum Ling, editor of the Chinese Mall, wants a Chinese-American alliance. Respectfully referred to in His Root. While tearing down the Walnut Street Baptist Church in Waterloo, workmen found 300 pounds of honey, Harold Towns, a small boy of Redfield, while playing with a revolver, shot himself in the leg.

The supposition is that Smith became involved in a fight but he refuses to throw any light on the question. He denies suicidal intent. O. J. Lapp of Melbourne claims the championship for peanut raising in Iowa. Lapp devoted a large share of his garden to peanut culture this season, and is maturing a crop that is not only yielding well, but affording a very superior quality of nuts.

Taking advantage of a crowd of thirty young women arrived recently from Ireland to study at Mount St. Clare academy, the mother house of the Sisters of St. Francis, in Clinton, a woman grafter worked a neat game on sunday Clinton housewives.

Mr. Hartung is now progressing as well as can be expected. The Boone Investment company has just been organized by a number of Boone business men, who have purchased an industrial addition to the city, which is to be immediately platted.

Wright of this city presided, and reports of the grand jury were made to him. The Rev. N. F. Douglas, for several years pastor of the Episcopal parish at Iowa Falls, has resigned to accept the position of Sunday school traveling agent for the Episcopal church in the state of Minnesota.

He will continue to make this city his home for the present at least. The Rev. Allen Judd of Des Moines has been appointed by Bishop Merrison to succeed the Rev. Mr. Douglas in the work in this state. The second annual reunion of the Fremont Voters' association, consisting of residents of the First congressional district, who voted for John C.

"Many kinds of food were tried, all with the same discouraging effects. I steadily lost health and strength until I was but a wreck of my former self. "Having heard of Grape-Nuts and its great merits, I purchased a package, but with little hope that it would help me—I was so discouraged. "I found it not only appetizing but that I could eat it as I liked and that it satisfied the craving for food without causing distress, and if I may use the expression, it filled the bill. "For months Grape-Nuts was my principal diet. I felt from the very first that I had found the right way to health and happiness, and my anticipations were fully realized. "With its continued use I regained my usual health and strength. To-day I am well and can eat anything I like, yet Grape Nuts food forms a part of my bill of fare."

BACKUP 1375 "Guarantee" Patty's Visit to the Reunion (Copyright, by Shortstory Pub. Co.) Patty Eldred was pink of check and brown of hair, which was perhaps the reason that when the colonel, her father, promised to take her to the reunion in Louisville she ordered a pink umbrella edged with a gold-brown stripe. Patty had always gone everywhere with her father, but that everywhere was neither far nor wide, as with the exertion of the Lee ball at "The White" and the Dixmore she had never left the town of Dixmore, where she had first seen the light. The excitement of making so extended a trip inclined her to arts, so when she waved her hand from the back of the train to the crowd of devoted swains who had come with flowers and candy to speed her on her way, she rather hurt the feelings of Will Rogers, whom she was supposed 'o favor. As the train was about rounding a curb and run by the car calling: "I've a great mind to get ahead of these fellows and meet you in Louisville." To which she had replied: "Do you think I would look at you by the side of the gallant Kentuckians? If you know when you are well off you will stay where you are." Which retort roused a certain quality in Will that he went home and packed his vallse. Dinsmore was on the highway and trains were plenty. Patty's train must needs make so much sense to him, their families that it was like by two hours. The colonel grew gidget, for he was on the program for an answer to the first speech of welcome to the national committee at eight. As they left Lexington he looked at his watch, made a calculation, and announced that by the time he had taken Patty to the hotel and dressed himself he would be just one hour too late. Arrived in Louisville, he put his daughter and her belongings into a coupe and gave minute instructions and large money to the driver. As he engaged the rooms several days ago, he no doubt whatever," said he as he banged the cartridge door. When she reached the hotel the crowd in the lobby was somewhat confusing, and Patty became a trifle nervous. A cheerful bellied piloted her to the desk, where she registered in a good vertical hand, and, with an air that she fancied was nonchalantly cosmopolitan, asked to be shown to her rooms. The clerk questioned and investigated and reported that no rooms had been engaged and that none were available. He then asked him, and he heard her tale and advised her to go up to one of the parors, where her father should be sent the moment he arrived. Patty entered the very red and white room and settled herself in a big armchair near the window, where the roar of carriages and the buzzing of many voices fostered meditation, but prevented slumber. She was unaware of the lapse of time when she was suddenly brought to a consciousness of her surroundings by the enclosed writing of potted cactus with which they rapidly transformed the parlor into a dormitory and then—Oh, horrors!—an awful man in the corner actually began taking off his clothes. Patty fled only to bump against more men in the corridor and more cots. Making her way back to the office now swarming with gray coats she again sought the desk. A strange clerk listened politely to her tale of woe. He was certain that her father had not yet arrived, but as he might have been, she would stay in sight and—impedled by the pink cheeks and brown eyes—he even went so far as to wake a sleeping soldier and make him vacate his chair. Tired as Patty was, she was to forlorn and nervous to sit still. She was also embarrassed by the attention she attracted—so many men all staring. She left her chair and went over to a less conspicuous place by the wall. A little father on she spied a glass door ajar and edging her way towards it found that it led to a dark empty room containing a row of chairs shrouded in white. She chuckled as she found that here she could escape observation yet still remain in sight of the desk. She slipped, closing the glass door and, lifting the sheet, climbed into one of the chairs. "Funny place for a dearest," she said aloud as she held herself with a hand. She fixed her eyes on the big register distinctly visible on the clerk's desk. As soon as a familiar head bent over that register she was ready to come to light. In the meantime here was soothing darkness and rest from staring eyes. The chair offered a comfortable reclining position with its cool linen head-reset. Fatigue dulled her brain and before she knew it she slept. She did not see a white-jacketed man come out of the bar-room, open the door, pull down its green blind, lock a safe and stagger away, but, with the soundness of tired youth and health, slept on. Then came the colonel, holding himself with extra straightness, flushed with the success of his speech. Meeting the cast-iron smile of Clerk Manor Three he signed his name with a flourish and asked to be shown to his rooms. "Rooms!" repeated Number Three, making the word unnecessarily plural, "how many do you want?" He ordered the colonel, "ordered two weeks ago. My daughter has already taken possession of one of them; I ask to be shown to the other." The clerk looked at the signature: "N. A. Elderd, Eldred Park, Dinsmore, Va." then went behind a mottled glass box and consulted another book. Next, he called a tired straw-colored woman, who examined various pigeon holes. Returning, he announced with the same fixed smile that no letter had been received, and behind the words the colonel's sensitivity saw doubt. "My daughter is here," he said with quiet firmness, pointing to the modern characters inscribed some lines above his fourships. "All I ask is to be shown to her room." "You don't know anything about that party, as he was night-clerk, just come on duty, but he pointed to the blank opposite the party's name, proving that she had not been assigned a room. Then the colonel shed the dignity of the soldier and became the parent. "The man before you probably gave her some corner for the night. Can't you call him up and see?" "He doesn't sleep here—has a home some distance away, and it would be of no use, as with all the will in the world, he could not create space." "Came here six hours ago, interrupted by the bysstudents smart-looking drummer with upstanding ears, and I have a cot under the staircase." "And I, following after, was glad enough to get a slab down in the Turkish bathrooms," added a very red-faced, little, fat man, who looked as if he had already tried his bed and had come to the surface for air. A very spiked and span young man herewent over the register. "Why Will he—on earth?" "Came by train after yours, colonel. Where do you suppose she is?" "These people don't seem to know or care. Come, help me find her. One thing is plain—she couldn't get in here, so went somewhere else. Of course she left a message, but nobody seems to remember it. She should have written a note, but one can't expect an inexperienced child to think. I see nothing to do but make the rounds. In the congestion caused by 30,000 extra inhabitants not a carriage was to be had, so the colonel and Will were going to be going to all the hotels and prominent boarding houses. But their search was fruitless. Returning to the hotel nothing would do but the colonel and Will must investigate the sleepers on the parlor floor, and soon they had a lot of half-dressed men rudely awakened. Not one had seen Patty, but overall told the colonel to go to a certain place to find her. All night the two distracted men hung over the telephone in the office Oh, Horrors! An Awful Man Actually Began Taking Off His Clothes. Oh, Horrors! An Awful Man actually Began Taking Off His Clothes. of the Holt House, but for them it was silent. That signature was all they had to hold by. she had been there when he was there. After a morning a morning call on the barkeeper, as was his custom, he took his towels and soap to make ready for business. The office was almost deserted. The smart drummer was pricking up his cars over a newspaper tale of millionaires; the little fat man who had slept on a slab was writing a telegram and exhaling steam; a couple of maids on wet knees were wiping up the marble floor; a row of dusky bell-boys were moulding on a bench; and the girls behind the counter were busily wailing. Suddenly a piercing scream broke the stillness. Will and the colonel jumped to their feet—there was something familiar about that scream. Clerks, bell-boys, maids, men and barkeeper followed the sound to the barber shop. At the door, flying straight into Will's arms, came Patty, a big swipe of lather on one cheek. She looked at Will, at her father, and uttered a glad cry. The frightened barber hurried to explain—he had mistaken her curly head for a customer. But Patty had forgotten her terror and her sorrows. She continued to embrace impartially Will and her father, leaving big dabs of tear-mixed lather on the coats of each. Will looked ecstatic. An embrace from Virginia girl was as amused as an I will" before the altar. I suddenly she recovered herself, straightened up and said with dignity: "I thought I warned you not to come." "But willing to be compared to the fascinating Kentuckians, I have ventured to disobey you; you seem to have succumbed at first sight." Pear-Shaped Balloon. Pear-shaped balloons are the fashion in Belgium. The point is upward, the base of the balloon is spherical. It is claimed that balloons of this shape pierce the air vertically with far greater speed than the ordinary spherical balloon. Consequently they are steadier. Also the upper pointed end prevents the accumulation of moisture or snow on the surface, which frequently weighs a balloon down and destroys its power to rise. ANSWER TO BRYAN FROM PRESIDENT TAKES UP PRAIRIE STATE OIL AND GAS CASE. HE SCORES GOV. HASKELL Washington. — President Roosevelt Wednesday night, following upon a prolonged conference with members of the cabinet at the White House, prepared and gave out his reply to William J. Bryan, the Democratic candidate, relative to W. R. Hearst's charges that Gov. Haskell, treasurer of the Democratic campaign committee, had represented Standard Oil interests both in Ohio and Oklahoma. Mr. Bryan had demanded proof of the charges, promising that in the event of their substantiation Gov. Haskell would be eliminated from the campaign. Dismissing the Ohio case, which involved an allegation of attempted bribery, with the explanation that he had made no direct charge against Gov. Haskell as regards that particular instance, President Roosevelt takes on the charge of the Gov. & Gas Company and argues that Gov. Haskell's action in stopping legal proceedings begun by the attorney general of Oklahoma demonstrates conclusively that he was controlled by the great corporation to which the Oklahoma company was subsidiary. Declares Haskell Unworthy. Again contrasts with Bryan's defense of the Gov. Haskell in Taft's repudiation of Forker in connection with the Hearst charges against the Ohio senator, the president proceeds to declare that Gov. Haskell's "utter unfitness for association with any man anxious to appeal to the American people on a moral issue, has been abundantly backed by other acts of the Governor of Oklahoma." Haskell Makes Reasonable Guthrie, Okla. — Gov. C. N. Haskell Wednesday night issued a statement in reply to President Roosevelt's letter to William J. Bryan, dealing with four specific charges against Mr. Haskell, namely, that he is subservient to Standard Oil, that he devoted a child labor bill; that he deftly extensively in Creek lands and lands, and in the militia; that he nate him in the removal of members of the faculty of the state university and the appointment of others to succeed them. Gov. Haskell took up the four charges as dwelt upon by President Roosevelt in turn, dealing with each in a characteristic manner. The Prairie Oil & Gas Company charges Gov. Haskell declared to be a defendant in the Roosevelt's stupidity," asserting that he had done nothing which would confer upon the Standard Oil subsidiary more authority than it already possessed under a franchise granted it by Secretary Hitchcock. Declares He Actively Proved. "President Roosevelt comes to Oklahoma and finds a substitute for his Ohio failure. Does he, in the case of the state against the Prairie Oil & Gas Company which he complains I compelled to be dismissed? "Yes, I did have it dismissed. We all know that the Prairie company is a Standard Oil offspring, and don't forget the president claims to have written the political allies, Hearst and Roosevelt, both knew that I acted properly. "First, the Prairie Oil Company got its franchise in the state not from me, but from Roosevelt's secretary of the interior, long before statehood began, and had its main line built and operating, and congress in our statehood bill was careful to declare that our new state when organized must respect all such vested rights and oxidizing franks that we have been required by federal courts stood ready to call me down if I violated the Roosevelt territorial franchises. . . Sarcasm and Abuse. "The president comes to the local affairs of our state and assists me for vetting a child labor bill. True, I did so, simply because the bill went too far and included things not desired by our people. Union labor representatives approved my veto. I hope the president will veto the veto of the local bill and permit us run our local affairs." "The president complains that we removed certain professors from our state university, our three state normal schools and preparatory school in violation of civil service rules. That is, the president in his usual impetuosity disfigured our officers; misstates the fact. Less than one fifth of the faculties are changed. All changes were for good cause. His Indian Land Suits. "The president complains that there are several suits pending against me to reclaim Creek Indian land. The president should have gone farther and said that I was not a dealer in Indian land and only came in as a subsequent purchaser and only incidentally a party without personal interest in the land. The president said that it is quite apparent that those who are being used in those land cases appear to be and apparently are the victims of political chicanery which the president can better explain the Want Haskell to Resign. New York. — It became known at Democratic national headquarters Wednesday night that several committee are preparing to use every influence to bring about the removal of Gov. Charles N. Haskell from the office of treasurer of the national committee. This is a result of the publication of charges that Mr. Haskell, as governor of Oklahoma, declined to permit the state to prosecute the Prattie Oil Company, a subsidiary of the Standard Oil Company. Only Then Are You Appreciated for Your True Worth. Upton Sinclair, the novelist, was talking about wealth at Lake Placid. "It is pleasant to be rich," he said. "Nobody can deny that. Many of the pleasures of wealth, though, are false and mistaken ones. "When I was making my living by the composition of blood and thunder takes for boys—and I could turn out my 8,000 words a day—I knew a pale, bent, ink-stained old chap who wrote love stories. "His stories did not pay; he was very poor; but an aunt died, and suddenly the old fellow found himself a millionaire. "He saw me one afternoon on Broadway. He stopped his red car and we chatted about old times. "And is it pleasant to be rich?" I asked. "Yes, it is," he answered, as he lighted a Vuelto Abajo and handed me another. "And do you know what is the pleasantest thing about it? You have an opportunity to make real friends, friends who can understand you. You get a hard to know people capable of esteeming you for your own qualities alone. You find, sir, that you are at last appreciated." ONLY A COW.

An Equality of Opportunities Secured for Wage Earners. (William H. Taft in his speech of acceptance.) We come now to the question of labor. One important phase of the policies of the present administration has been an anxiety to secure for the wage-earner an equality of opportunity and such positive statutory protection as shall place him on a level in dealing with his employer. The Republican party has passed an employees' liability act for interstate railroads, and has established an eight hour law for government employees and on government construction. The essence of the reform effected by the former, is the abolition of the fellow-servant ruts and the introduction of the comparative negligence theory by which an employee injured in the service of his employer does not lose all his right to recover because of slight negligence on his part. Then there is the net providing for compensation for injury to government employees, together with the various statutes requiring safety appliances upon interstate commerce railroads for the protection of their employees and limiting the hours of their employment. These are all instances of the desire of the Republican party to do justice to the wage earners. Doubless a more comprehensive measure for compensation of government employees will be adopted in the future; the principle in such cases has been recognized and in the necessarily somewhat slow course of legislation will be more fully embodied in definite statutes. The interests of the employer and the employee never differ except when it comes to a division of the joint profit of labor and capital into dividends and wages. This must be a constant source of periodical discussion between the employer and the employee, as indeed are the other terms of the employment. To give to employees their proper position in such a controversy, to enable them to maintain themselves against employers having great capital, they may well unite, because in union there is strength, and without it, each individual laborer and employee would be helpless. The promotion of the industrial peace through the instrumentality of the trade agreement is often one of the results of such union when intelligently conducted. There is a large body of laborers, however, skilled and unskilled, who are not organized into unions. Their rights before the law are exactly the same as those of the union men, and are to be protected with the same care and watchfulness. In order to induce their employer into a compliance with their request for changed terms of employment, workmen have the right to strike in a body. They have a right to use such persuasion as they may, provided it does not reach the point of duress, to lead their reluctant co-workers to join them in their union against their employer, and they have a right, if they choose, to accumulate funds to support those engaged in a strike, to delegate to officers the power to direct the action of the union, and to withdraw themselves and their associates from dealings with or giving custom to those with whom they are in controversy. TAFT'S KINDNESS TO BLIND Overrules Washington Monument Regulation for Benefit of the Sightless. The kind heartedness of Mr. Taft and his sincerity, common sense sympathy with the unfortunates in this world has just been brought to the attention of the blind in a peculiar way. Away up in the top of the Washington monument, where thousands go to behold the beauties of the nation's capital, the Columbia Polytechnic institute, which seeks to make it possible for the adult blind of the United States to rise above conditions of dependence by becoming self sustaining, placed on the souvenir post cards manufactured by its blind. Some sentimental persons took the view that this was undignified and succeeded in having the superintendent of public buildings and grounds order the cards removed. F. E. Cleaveland, principal of the institute, appealed to Mr. Taft, then secretary of war and within whose jurisdiction came the office of public buildings and grounds. It took only a few words to convince the secretary that the blind should have the benefit of this privilege, and the cards were again placed on sale in the monument. "For this action," said Principal Cleaveland in discussing the incident, "Mr. Taft deserves the gratitude of every blind person, particularly the progressive blind, who are striving to help their less fortunate fellows." In Georgia the electors must have a majority, and with Watson, Hilsen and Coffin pulling away from them the Bryanites are becoming apprehensive. MOLINE (ILL) GREETINGS Rev. T. W.

"I was in the smoking department with some other traveling men when one of them went out into the coach and came back and said, 'There is a woman sick unto death in car.' I at once got up and went out, found her very ill with cramp colic, her hands and arms were drawn up so you could not straighten them, and with a death like look on her face. Two or three ladies were working with her and giving her whiskey. I went to my suit case and got my bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy (I never travel without it), ran to the water tank, put a double dose of the medicine in the glass, poured some water into it and stirred it with a pencil; then I had quite a time to get the ladies to let me give it to her, but I succeeded. I could at once see the effect and I worked with her' rubbing her hands, and in twenty minutes I gave her another dose. By this time we were almost into Le Grande, where I was to leave the train. I gave the bottle to the husband to be used in case another dose should be needed, but by the time the train ran into Le Grande she was all right, and I received the thanks of every passenger in the car.'

Some Facts About the Piano Business October 1st I move my music store to the fourth floor of the new Grand Department Store, Eighth and Walnut streets. The sheet music and small musical instruments will be on the first floor in the center of the room. Your Opportunity... To save the expense of transferring my pianos to the new place and the liability of marring them, I will make a liberal discount while at the old store, 905 Walnut street. I will not sell the pianos at cost; but will sell them at a slight margin above cost. For You to Know... You cannot save $100 to $150 on the purchase of a piano from a reliable dealer (you know better than that) at any time or any place. I will sell you a "cheap John" or a "wildcat" piano known to the trade as commercial goods for $150. I will sell you a violin string for 90c or I will sell you one (not the same quality) for 10c. I will sell you a CHEAP mandolin, violin or guitar for $4.00 or I will sell you any of these instruments for $65 and higher if you care to pay it and want quality. It's just the same old story—you can buy an overcoat for $8 or $40, a pair of shoes for $1 or $5, a buggy for $40 or $140. Sugar, coffee, tea and every other line of merchandise the same. Just so with pianos. You Can't Get Something for Nothing In the purchase of a piano the transaction lies between the purchaser and the dealer and there is where your safety lies, whoever your dealer may be. If your piano is a failure you must take your troubles to the dealer, not to the piano or its manufacturer. What I Do to Make You Safe... I give you a written guarantee from the factory and one from myself to back it, then you can call up my banker or go and see him to make sure that my guar antee is good and he will sign it if you wish. This guarantee is not neces sary when dealing with me, but it gives you a feeling of safety, so I say "take it." Where Is the Piano Quality?... Remember this—The quality of a piano does not lie in the case, it is entirely out of sight in what is known as the "hidden parts." These parts are concealed. It is concerning these parts that the customer must take the dealer's word and naturally having been in the piano business commercially and professionally for over 40 years it behooves me to tell you correctly concerning the quality of these parts. If after purchasing one of my pianos you find that any statement that I make is incorrect or that I have misrepresented in any slight way, don't hesitate to tell me and I will call and take back the piano without charge to you.

Straighten Your Hair DEAR SIRS: I have used only one bottle of your pomade and it now would not be, without it for it to make my hair soft, straight and easy to comb and also start a new growth. Mrs. S. W. Warner, Sla. I-Harrington, Tenn. Agents Wanted Everywhere. SUNDAY, JULY 10, 1970 When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was possible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds; rapidly achieving success. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that theirs is the same or "just as good") or referred to PORO. We advise you to use only PORO Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind.) See that the name PORO is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by Mrs. A. M. POPE. Beware of imitations.

(William E. Taft in his speech of acceptance.) We come now to the question of labor. One important phase of the policies of the present administration has been an anxiety to secure for the wageeran an equality of opportunity and such positive statutory protection as shall place him on a level in dealing with his employer. The Republican party has passed an employers' liability act for interstate railroads, and has established an eight hour law for government employees and on government construction. The essence of the reform effected by the former, is the abolition of the fellow-servant rule and the introduction of the comparative negligence theory by which an employee injured in the service of his employer does not lose all his right to recover because of slight negligence on his part. Then there is the act providing for compensation for injury to government employees, together with the various statutes requiring safety appliances upon interstate commerce railroads for the protection of their employees and limiting the hours of their employment. These are all instances of the desire of the Republican party to do justice to the wage-carners. Doubless a more comprehensive measure for compensation of government employees will be adopted in the future; the principle in such cases has been recognized and in the necessarily somewhat slow course of legislation will be more fully embodied in definite statutes. The interests of the employer and the employee never differ except when it comes to a division of the joint profit of labor and capital into dividends and wages. This must be a constant source of periodical discussion between the employer and the employee, as indeed are the other terms of the employment. To give to employees their proper position in such a controversy, to enable them to maintain themselves against employers having great capital, they may well unite, because in union there is strength, and without it, each individual laborer and employee would be helpless. The promotion of the industrial peace through the instrumentality of the trade agreement is often one of the results of such union when intelligently conducted. There is a large body of laborers, however, skilled and unskilled, who are not organised into unions. Their rights before the law are exactly the same as those of the union men, and are to be protected with the same care and watchfulness. In order to induce their employer into a compliance with their request for changed terms of employment, workmen have the right to strike in a body. They have a right to use such persuasion as they may, provided it does not reach the point of duress, to lead their reluctant co-laborers to join them in their union against their employer, and they have a right, if they choose, to accumulate funds to support those engaged in a strike, to delegate to officers the power to direct the action of the union, and to withdraw themselves and their associates from dealings with or giving custom to those with whom they are in controversy. TAFT'S KINDNESS TO BLIND. Overrules Washington Monument Regulation for Benefit of the Sightless. The kind heartedness of Mr. Taft and his sincerity, common sense sympathy with the unfortunate in this world has just been brought to the attention of the blind in a peculiar way. Away up in the top of the Washington monument, where thousands go to behold the beauties of the nation's capital, the Columbia Polytechnic institute, which seeks to make it possible for the adult blind of the United States to rise above conditions of dependence by becoming self sustaining placed on sale souvenir post cards manufactured by its blind. Some sentimental persons took the view that this was undignified and succeeded in having the superintendent of public buildings and grounds order the cards removed. F. E. Cleaveland, principal of the institute, appealed to Mr. Tufft then secretary of war and within whose jurisdiction came the office of public buildings and grounds. It took only a few words to convince the secretary that the blind should have the benefit of this privilege, and the cards were again placed on sale in the monument. "For this action," said Principal Cleveland in discussing the incident, "Mr. Taft deserves the gratitude of every blind person, particularly the progressive blind, who are striving to help their less fortunate fellows." In Georgia the electors must have a majority, and with Watson, Hilsen and Cainin pulling away from them the Hyanites are becoming apprehensive. MOLINE (ILL) GREETINGS Rev. T. W.

"I must tell you my experience on an East bound O. R. & N. R. R. train from Pendleton to Le Grande, Ore,' writes Sam A. Garber, a well known traveling man. "I was in the smoking department with some other traveling men when one of them went out into the coach and came back and said, "There is a woman sick unto death in car.' I at once got up and went out, found her very ill with cramp colic, her hands and arms were drawn up so you could not straighten them, and with a death like look on her face. Two or three ladies were working with her and giving her whiskey. I went to my suit case and got my bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhea Remedy (I never travel without it), ran to the water tank, put a double dose of the medicine in the glass, poured some water into it and stirred it with a pencil; then I had quite time to get the ladies to let me give it to her, but I succeeded. I could at once see the effect and I worked with her' rubbing her hands, and in twenty minutes I gave her another dose. By this time we were almost into Le Grande, where I was to leave the train. I gave the bottle to the husband to be used in case another dose should be needed, but by the time the train ran into Le Grande she was all right, and I received the thanks of every passenger in the car.'

Some Facts About the Piano Business October 1st I move my music store to the fourth floor of the new Grand Department Store, Eighth and Walnut streets. The sheet music and small musical instruments will be on the first floor in the center of the room. Your Opportunity... To save the expense of transferring my pianos to the new place and the liability of marring them, I will make a liberal discount while at the old store, 905 Walnut street. I will not sell the pianos at cost; but will sell them at a slight margin above cost. For You to Know... You cannot save $100 to $150 on the purchase of a piano from a reliable dealer (you know better than that) at any time or any place. I will sell you a “cheap John” or a “wildcat” piano known to the trade as commercial goods for $150. I will sell you a violin string for 90e or I will sell you one (not the same quality) for 10e. I will sell you a CHEAP mandolin, violin or guitar for $4.00 or I will sell you any of those instruments for $63 and higher if you care to pay it and want quality. It's just the same old story—you can buy an overcoat for $8 or $40, a pair of shoes for $1 or $5, a buggy for $40 or $140. Sugar, coffee, tea and every other line of merchandise the same. Just so with pianos. You Can't Get Something for Nothing In the purchase of a piano the transaction lies between the purchaser and the dealer and there is where your safety lies, whoever your dealer may be. If your piano is a failure you must take your troubles to the dealer, not to the piano or its manufacturer. What I Do to Make You Safe... I give you a written guarantee from the factory and one from myself to back it, then you can call up my banker or go and see him to make sure that my guar antee is good and he will sign it if you wish. This guarantee is not neces sary when dealing with me, but it gives you a feeling of safety, so I say "take it." Where Is the Piano Quality?... Remember this—The quality of a piano does not lie in the case, it is entirely out of sight in what is known as the "hidden parts." These parts are concealed. It is concerning these parts that the customer must take the dealer's word and naturally having been in the piano business commercially and professionally for over 40 years it behooves me to tell you correctly concerning the quality of these parts. If after purchasing one of my pianos you find that any statement that I make is incorrect or that I have misrepresented in any slight way, don't hesitate to tell me and I will call and take back the piano without charge to you. Make Your Own Guarantee... Be reasonable with me and you can write your own guarantee to be signed by myself and banker. I am not now, never did or never shall do a "Hurrah Business." Just come to my store (for I have no canvassers) and I will sell you a piano the same as you would purchase anything. Some Personal Affairs... I have two people working for me, one has been with me for 19 years and the other 36 years. I can give you names of families to whom I have sold pianos in the second and third generations. Doesn't that speak honest dealing? We three could not humbug this community for nearly 45 years and still continue to do a satisfactory business with the sons and daughters of those we served in years past—Read these points carefully and when you want a piano come to me, come now and I will offer you the advantage of my removal sale; come later to the "Grand Department Store" and I will sell you a piano the "quality of which will be commensurate with the price."
