THE LAW UPHELD BY JUSTICE FORD. Race Prejudice Given Slap in the Face. New York Court Turns Down Southern White Man. Undue extremes to which some southern white men in the north carry their personal race prejudice against the Negro are constantly being enacted. The latest and most disgrateful affair of this kind was exhibited in the supreme court in New York on Friday, March 25, when one Lepy Bowers, a southern white man, re- fused to serve as a juror in a case because Walter E. Douglas, a Negro, was on the jury in the same-case and its foreman. The suit on trial was that of Paul E. Richter against Bernard Rust to recover $1,000 for commissions alleged to be due over a real estate deal. Charles L. Hoffman, counsel for Richter, had commenced to question the members of the panel, who had taken their seats in the box, when Bowers got up and, addressing Justice Ford, who presided, said: "Your honor, I see there is a Negro on this jury. I am a southerner. All my education, training and instincts are against associating with Negroes. I notice that that man" (here Bowers indicated Douglas) "is a Negro. I therefore beg to be excused from serving on this case." Justice Ford appeared to be angry. Addressing Ford, he said: "You are unit for jury service either in this case or in this court. You are excused not only from this case, but for the rest of the term. A man who expresses your views is not fit for jury service." We commend Justice Ford for his manly action and timely rebuke to Bowers, and we would advise all such persons who live in the north to change their residence as quickly as possible to some other section of the country where justice is meted out according to their personal dislikes for the Negro rather than according to law. Important Event For Savannah. The next annual convention of the State Association of Physicians, Dentists and Pharmacists will convene in Savannah, Ga., on Tuesday, May 17. Dr. George N. Stoney, president of the association, is urging every member of the organization to be present at the coming session and says: "Georgia must continue to lead. Let everybody come."

Price Five Cents. All Aboard For Oklahoma City Timeliness of Date For Annual Session of National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools Enables Delegates and Visitors to Get Special Railroad Rates. All indications point to a record breaking attendance at the forthcoming seventh annual session of the National Association of Teachers In Colored Schools, which will be held in Oklahoma City, beginning July 21, for two days. The date seems to be very timely, as persons desiring to make the trip may be able to take advantage of the home seekers' rates, which will be open to the public on July 19 and will enable one to make the trip, with liberal time limit, for a little more than one fare for the round trip. All the officers of the association are well known teachers, President R. R. Wright of the Georgia State colleges and Professor J. R. E. Lee of the academic department of Tuskegee institute being the active heads of the organization. The meeting last year at Asheville, N. C., is said to have eclipsed all previous efforts, but Professor J. H. A. Brazzleton, to whose persistence and strenuosity all present at Asheville can well attest, declares that the entertainment of the teachers and citizens of the baby state will more than compensate the visitors for the long journey. There appear to be some good reasons why the meeting at Oklahoma City should be a pronounced success. The invitation presented by Professor Brazleyton on behalf of the Oklahoma state association at Asheville last year was exceedingly cordial and sincere and had the uncompromising baching of the state department of education, which, the announcement comes, is assisting in the entertainment of the national association. Strenuous efforts are being made by the department of education in that state to build up a comprehensive organization that shall be effective and permanent in its results. Negro education in Oklahoma fares as well as the education of white children, and the coming of the national association in large numbers, bringing representative educators from state schools, colleges, universities and the common schools, will be a source of distinct encouragement to the teachers in that state. Surely the teachers of the Negro youth throughout the nation owe that duty to their struggling brethren in Oklahoma. The program is now in the hands of the proper parties and will be well arranged, as usual. Some addresses by prominent educators, public discussion of live and fruitful topics as well as the sectional meetings will lend interest to the occasion, and the social side of the gathering can well be left in the hands of Mr. Brazleyton. SCHEME OF CATHOLICS. Burke Leade Vigorous Campaign For Larger Negro Membership. With the beginning of the Easter season the Catholic church in the United States entered upon a vigorous campaign of home missionary endeavor, giving special attention to the broadening of its activity in behalf of Negroes. The campaign is in charge of the Rev. John E. Burke, director general of the Catholic board for mission work among the colored people. It is proposed to build new and larger schools in the south, tear down old mission chapels and in their place raise substantial churches, encourage Negro youths to study for the priesthood and give the missionaries a new impetus to continue their work for the conversion and education of the Negro. Father Burke has decided to raise annually for this purpose the sum of $100,000, and to aid him in his project the directorate, composed of Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishops Farley, Ryan and Blenk and Bishops Allen and Kelley, has recently appointed an assistant in the Rev. D. J. Bustin of Scranton, Pa. Father Burke has been relieved of all parochial duty by Bishop Hoban and is now making a visitation of the churches in Pennsylvania in behalf of the Negroes. It is Father Burke's idea that the first year's fund shall be contributed by the young Catholics of America, by the young men and women employed in mills, factories and stores, students at colleges and universities and those in the various professions. The numerous religious associations attached to parishes, such as the young men's and young women's sodalities, will have an opportunity to contribute as a body. This fund will be the free gift of the young people. Father Burke said recently at headquarters in the Metropolitan building, "The Negroes need the Catholic church, and it is our duty to convert and educate them." Lecture on France Instructive. "Twenty Days in Balmy France" was the subject of an able and scholarly lecture delivered by the Rev. Dr. A. Clayton Powell, pastor of the Abyssinian Baptist church, New York, in that edifice on Wednesday evening, March 30. Charles S. Smythwick, Esq., presided, and Mme. Elizabeth Tyler-Brent was the soloist of the evening. The committee in charge of the entertainment consisted of Mrs. Mattie F. Powell, chairman, Miss Clara M. Harris, secretary, and Mrs. Emma Thomas, treasurer. The reshment and social committees were led by Mrs. Mollie Middleton and Arab L. Jones. SPLENDID OROPS, BIG PRICES AND PROSPEROUS OUTLOOK FOR THE FUTURE. Throughout all of Canada, and especially in the Western Provinces of Canada, there is a buoyancy in every line of business that is fully warranted by every condition. The crops of the past year were what was expected, and the prices for grain of all kinds, put the farmers in a class by class. Many of them are independent, and many others have got well started with their reports are that seeding is well under way in almost every district, and the prospects are that a vastly larger area than that under crop last year will be seeded early this spring. In the Lethbridge district, in Southern Alberta, steam and gasoline outfits, dozens of them, are breaking up the prairie at a tremendous pace, but they work night and day. As soon as the new grain gages are changed, a head light attaches to on on through the night until the fast streak of dawn, these giant monsters with their seven or eight ganks of breaking up, keep up the work. the耕es the Country be like in August when the fields be like the literally golden with the will be one vast area of a market. And there be the market for it, and the demand will be everywhere. As previously intimated business throughout Western Canada is sound and good. The grain production of 1909 has the great factor in establishing the reputation in establishing the reputation of all records, both in regard to quality and quantity, and such an achievement was by no means easy. The cut, beached, and a large average increase in the demand during the next ten years. There will be odd seasons when a falling-off will occur, and it is the falling-off that causes alarms and panics in the commercial world. The plains have done their duty so far in the cut-up of grain and it would be reasonable to make occasional allowances for slowing up. The faster the rate of increase is now, the sharper will be the check when the production diminishes. But there are some unreasonable factors that cause the growth of one year is not continued during the next, and at an even faster rate. These same unreasonable people are the ones who see flaws in the situation as soon as an indication is given that the startling advances have not been maintained. Another Bright Boy.

M Tipple, pastor of the American Methodist church in Rome. Mr. Roosevelt was not in his happiest mood. His wish that the Vatican audience incident be regarded as perplexed and he was intensely annoyed. Mr. Roosevelt does not purpose to be used by anyone to the disagreement of anyone else. Mr. Tipple called on Mr. Roosevelt and on his departure made public a statement in which he lifted the Vatican episode out of the realm of the personal and gave it a world-wide significance. "Mr. Roosevelt has struck a blow for twentieth century Christianity," Mr. Tipple said. "The problems have been the ones to put the Vatican where it belongs. The Vatican is incompatible with Republican principles. "This is a bitter dose for patriotic Catholics in America to swallow. I wonder how many doses of this sort they will take before they revolt. "Is Catholism in America to be American or Romish? If Romish, then every patriotic American should rise to crush it, for Roman Catholism is the uncompromising foe of freedom. The world advances, but the foe of freedom is the statement in full was shown to Mr. Roosevelt when he said: "I had made no arrangements to speak at any church or clerical organization in Rome. I have received a number of gentlemen of all religious faiths who have called at my rooms or at the American embassy. "Under the circumstances I have requested the American ambassador not to hold the reception which he had planned. I juggled all efforts by whomsoever made to bring about and infame religious animosities because of what has occurred in connection with the Vatican and myself, I can do no more than refer to the emphatic statements contained in my open letter to Dr. Lyman Abbott, already published.

New York—Friends of Andrew Carnegie, who has just returned here from the west, were perturbed by his physical condition.

MOST PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW CAUSE OF THEIR SICKNESS Does human health depend on one organ alone? This question is becoming widely discussed since L. T. Cooper first advanced his theory that the stomach is the true seat of life and all health dependent upon it. Mr. Cooper, who has met with remarkable success in the sale of his new medicine, believes that the stomach is responsible for most sickness, and that this organ is weak in the present generation. While discussing this theory recently, he said: "I am asked time and again to tell why my medicine has made such a record wherever I have introduced it. My answer always is because I am not a doctor to be in condition. I will deny that today there are more half-sick men and women than ever before. Nothing critical seems to be the matter with them. They are just half-sick most of the time. They don't know really what is the matter with them. I have talked with thousands during the past two years, and few knew indeed what their trouble was. One said nervousness, another said kidney trouble, another liver complaint, some constipation, or heart trouble, or lung trouble. Many had treated it, and most of the disease, most different times, very common complaint is 'all run down,' or 'tired all the time,' or 'no appetite.' "I know positively that every bit of this chronic ill health is caused by stomach trouble and nothing else. My New Discovery puts the stomach in sound condition in about six weeks. Mighty few people can be sick with a sound digestion. That is why my medicine is selling at such a tremendous rate. I have convinced many thousands of people that these things are so, and the number is growing by leaps and bounds." Among more recent converts to Mr. Cooper's beliefs is Mrs. Lotte L. Miner, living on Rural Route No. 2, Henniker, N. H., who says: "I was in poor health for six years, from stomach trouble and indigestion. Quite that it would not retain solid food. I had vomited spells every morning. I was subject to frequent attacks of dizziness. Life became such a burden that I often felt it was not worth the living. I tried everything I could hear of, but found nothing that would afford relief. "For some time I had been reading of the Cooper remedies, and finally decided to give the New Discovery preparation a trial. After taking the first bottle, I noticed a marked improvement. Five bottles made me entirely well. I can eat anything I wish, and have not been troubled with my stomach since. The dizzy spells disappeared long ago. "My mother, Mrs. Susan Parkins, is a nurse of long experience. Both she and my father have used the Cooper remedies with splendid results. I will be glad to answer any personal corrections in regard to my use. "Cooper's New Discovery is sold by all druggists.

Mother—Does that cook of yours know her place? Daughter—I reckon she's had too many of them to remember. Money and expense are not essential to artistic homes and attractive rooms. One dollar and fifty cents' worth of material will complete transform as a druide, intrastic room into a graceful, dainty apartment. Really it is good taste and skill that makes the home homelike. That dainty touch is worth twice as much as money. Wall paper is expensive—it costs money when it is moved. It is not easy to move it. With the use of the abashed wall there is only the slight cost of the paper. The cost of the paper is not necessary to wash it off the wall when a fresh coat is required. A whole fresh coat is simple to apply, but the results are simply beautiful. A whole house can be done at just a little more than the cost of a single coat. And this is true, that now that we have so much better materials for use in the home, we can use common kalsimone and paint are now as much out of date as the old time white-fashioned. Move money is no longer an essential in good housefurnishing in artistic home making. The materials and labor-saving machines are most welcome to us all—and every thoughtful woman, every woman cares for her home, is quick to utilize them. Good Work In Denmark. Under legislation enacted in 1905 the Danish government pays three-fourths of the expenses of all poor persons who desire to be treated in tuberculosis sanatoria.

In the United States there is one bed for every 4,500 inhabitants.

"MEN HIGHER UP" INDIGTED MORE CONFESSIONS MADE IN PITTSBURG GRAFT SCANDAL. Bank President Is Charged With Conspiracy and Bribery—Another Financier Admits His Guilt. Pittsburg, Pa.—The uncovering of the "men higher up" in Pittsburg's graft crusade against councilmen has begun with a vengeance. The grand Nazi leader, indicted, Frank N. Hofstet, millionaire president of the German National bank of Allegheny and president of the Pressed Steel Car company on charges of bribery and conspiracy. President Emil Winter of the Workingman's Savings Bank and Trust company of Allegheny, another of the financial pillars of Pittsburg, crept to the bar of justice to confess that he has bribed councilmen to the extent of $20,000. James M. Anderson, general bookkeeper of the Workingman's Savings Bank and Trust company, was raligned on a charge of having mutilated the books of his bank to save exposure of certain persons. He pleaded contender and was placed under bail. There were many interesting confessions before the court. Former Councilmanleader P. B. Kearns came before the bar and admitted that he had not only taken money for his own vote and had distributed money to his friends. But he pleaded guilty to not having paid out all the money given him for distribution among other councilmen. MICHIGAN "WETS" IN LEAD "Dry" Carry Twenty Counties for Sixteen Won by Opponents—State Nearly Equal. Detroit, Mich—Complete returns from the local option election in Michigan when the state decided all the counties voting of 6,299, though the "dry" carriers carried 20 counties to 16 for the "wets." The dry victories were won in those counties where the saloon is only a minor factor, while in the more critical counties the wets swept everything. There now are 40 "dry" and 43 "wet" counties in the state. There are examples where local option failed were Kent, Oakland and Wexford counties. Oakland and Wexford were only two of the ten dry counties in which the question was resubmitted which went "wet." Oakland county, the scene of one of the hardest battles, defeated the local option by a majority of 1,000, while Wexford floored by 250 votes. Kent county and Grand Rapids were also defeated by the "wet" by a majority of 7,500. The greatest surprise of the election came in the township of Kent, confidently claimed by the "drys" and conceded by the "wetts" by large majorities. This, added to the heavy Grand Rapids "wet" vote, piled up a sweeping majority. In the northern peninsula every one of the eight counties voted remaining in the "wet" column. Thus the upper county, slightly soothed, in St. Clair county, Port Huron swung into line with a decisive "wet" vote, which, augmented by the county poll, ran up a 2,500 majority. The Island of Mackinac voted "wet" by 88 per cent. CANCELS VISIT TO INDIANA President Taft Change Hic Itinerary and Wife Speak at indignation Washington.—it was announced at the White House Wednesday that President Taft would not go to Indianapolis to make the speech he expected to make May 5. It was given out recently that he would speak in Indianapolis at the time he went to Cincinnati and St. Louis. Now, Mr. Carpenter, the president's secretary, said, the president would in all probability not speak in Indianapolis or in Indiana. The reason is given for the change of plans, but it is generally ascribed to the action of the Republican state convention of Indiana in ignoring the tariff bill and indorsing Senator Beveridge after he had criticized that bill severely, and thus taken a stand exactly opposite to the president as to the tariff.

Farmers should eat more oatmeal. Although the farmer of today is able to buy almost anything he wants to wear or eat he isn't paying enough attention to food values when it comes to his own table. He feeds his stock carefully, avoids overfeeding and selects the stock food that he believes will give the best returns in strength and general efficiency. If he has been watching the extensive researches and experiments on the question of the best human food for muscle and brain he will heed the advice from all sides to "eat more Quaker Oats." Quaker Oats is mentioned because it is recognized in this country and Europe as the best of all oatmeals. Feeding farm hands on Quaker Oats means getting more work out of them than if you feed them on anything else. REAL WISE BOY WAS WILLIE May Not Have Known Proper Answer to Question, But He Knew the Fair Sex. "Flattery," said William Faversham, at a rehearsal in New York, "has great weight with women. "This fact was brought home to me in my boyhood. Before entering Chig-well grammar school I attended a kind of kindergarten. My teacher was a very pretty young lady. My teacher said to me one morning, 'why was Solomon the wisest man in the world' "Because, ma'm, said I, he 'had so many wives to advise him.' "Well,' said my teacher, with a pleasant smile, 'that is not the precase answer given in the book, but you may go up head.'"

He kept us awake all hours of the night and his health wasn't what you would call good. We tried everything but the right thing. "Finally I got a set of the Cutucra Remedies and I am pleased to say we did not use all of them until he was cured.

There is comfort in the knowledge that so many forms of illness are not due to any actual disease, but simply to a consti- pated condition of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, promptly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact that the only remedy which promotes the factual debilitation of the body is, it is therefore, all-important, in order to get its beneficial effects, to purchase and note that you have the genuine article, which is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only. It is pleasant and refreshing to the taste, and acts gently yet promptly on the kidneys, liver and bowels, cleanses the system effectually, dispels colds, headaches and fevers and assists in overcoming habitual consti- pation permanently, also biliousness and the many lilies resulting therefrom. The great trouble with all other purgatives and aperients is not that they fail to act when a single dose is taken, but that they act too violently and invariably to produce a habit of body requiring constantly augmented doses.

Liberia Needs Strong Backing Perhaps no state paper of national or international importance in recent years has given rise to as much conjecture and widespread interest among Afro-Americans in the United States as has the long looked for report of the American commission which was sent to Liberia in the spring of 1909 to investigate and report on the general condition of affairs in that little republic. Upon three distinct occasions during the year the aforesaid interest was intensified, but without any definite information as to the actual work or accomplishments of the commissioners. The first was when the commissioners returned to the United States the second was the return of United States Minister Ernest Lyon and, third, when congress convened last December. The report has at last been made public. Pressed upon one side by France and beset by Great Britain upon the other, Liberia, the little Negro republic of Africa, is between two milestones which threaten to grind it off the map unless the nation has the support of some power commensurate in strength with Great Britain and France. This is one of the principal conclusions expressed in the report of the American commission to Liberia, which was transmitted to congress by President Taft with a special message on Saturday, March 26. After reviewing the internal dangers which threaten Liberia as well as those which crowd upon her from the outside, the report recommends: That the United States extend its aid to Liberia in the prompt settlement of her boundary disputes. That the United States enable Liberia to refund its debt by assuming, as a guarantee for the payment of obligations under such an arrangement, the control and collection of Liberian customs. That the United States lend its assistance to the reform of the internal finances. That the United States aid in organizing and drilling a competent constab- LIBERIAN COMMISSIONERS FAULKNER, SCOTT AND SALE. ulary or frontier police, establish and maintain a research station and reopen the question of establishing a naval coaling station in Liberia. For what it has been able to accomplish the government of the little republic and those responsible for its rule are commended highly by the commission. The Liberians have advanced in their civilization, and the native element has not undergone any retrogression. The civilization of the nation has also done much toward advancing the tribes, the commission says. Attention is called to the fact that the Liberians never have resorted to revolution, and the nation is not, as has been said, bankrupt. Liberia, while attempting to solve her internal problems, has become involved in external ones which are very threatening to her integrity. The reform program adopted upon the advice of Great Britain is condemned by the commission, and the causes are described in the report as "the bungeing of British officials in 1909," which resulted in a frontier police officered largely by British. That feature the commission declares impossible for the good of Liberia. In summarizing the conditions there the commission says that help from the United States is demanded, as Great Britain and France are not in a position to give disinterested assistance. Suggestions have also been made to the Liberian government by the commission, but the whole situation is summed up as very hopeless for the little nation unless the United States steps in and helps her out. The commission was composed of the Hon. Roland P. Faulkner, chairman; Emmett J. Scott and George Sale. Students Crowd Howard University.

A well-known family in Catholic cities, living in Spring Garden street, and blessed with three very small daughters, spent last winter in Rome, where the small daughters were sent to school. The family, being quite hospitably inclined, entertained quite lavishly some of the dignitaries of the Vatican. Returning to Philadelphia, they received a hearty welcome, and among others called of their old priest friends called to bid them welcome home. The mother, always proud of her three small daughters, sent for them to be brought downstairs to see the father. After awhile they came, the three little golden-haired girls; but they only stood in the doorway of the spacious room and refused to come any further. The mother, much mortified at such behavior, said to the eldest: "Come here, dear; don't you remember good Father —, who used to come and see us from the cathedral!" There they stood, the three little blonde tots, and looking most disapprovingly at good Father —, the eldest spoke: "We like cardinals," is what she said—Philadelphia Public Ledger. NO WONDER SHE DIDN'T KNOW Woman of Experience Not Hasty In Expressing Opinion. Before he had been in the car three minutes most of the women passengers and some of the men were explaining to their neighbors what they would do with the little imp if he be longed to them. Spanking was the popular remedy, and if that boy had received then and all the paddings that his critics were aching to administer he certainly would have been well blistered. To the general gabel of advice and fault-finding, however, there was one woman who contributed nothing. She was a gentle, gray-haired body, who remained unruffled in the midst of the small tempest raging. "If that child was mine," said the determined woman beside her, "I'd make him mind if I had to half kill him. Wouldn't you? "I don't know," said the little woman, mildly, "what I'd do." "Oh, yes," said the little woman. "I brought up 13. That is why I don't know what I would do." Concrete Not Modern. Concrete is a very ancient material for construction, but reinforced concrete is secrethly half a century old. It is said to have started in a happy idea that came to a Frenchman who wanted large flower pots for his plants which should not be thick and dummy. He reinforced them with wire. Nowadays we see glass reinforced in the same way, especially about elevator shafts. Cognet and others developed the reinforcement of concrete for buildings, at first merely useful buildings like conservatories. As early as 1874 a concrete villa was built on the north shore of Long Island sound, but it was many years before the idea "took" here, although in France, Belgium and Germany it was seized upon with avoidtivity - Smith's Marazine. --- As a healing salve for burns, sores, sore nipples and chapped hands Chamberlain's Salve is most excellent.

Ford's Hair Pomade Fifty years of success have proved the merits of this preparation. What is more attractive than a beautiful head of hair? It has been the ambition of women in all ages. The use of soft hairies are similar to bobbles, harsh, kinky or curly hair softener, more pliable and glossy, easy to comb and arrange in any style desired consistent with its length, as long as the Formahead is in the skin. This result may be obtained by one thorough application according to directions. Two to four applications a month will keep the hair in satisfactory condition, and two to four bottles, resulting are similar sufficient for a year. Procedures with every bottle. Ford's Hair Pomade removes and prevents dandruff, invigorates the scalp and keeps it from itching, helps the hair from falling out or breaking off and dives it new life and vigor. Absolutely harmless. Used in hair treatments and护发 products for infants. Delicately perfumed, its use is a constant pleasure. A most satisfactory toilet preparation for ladies, gentlemen and children.

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 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. MRS A. M.
