Ottawa, Iowa, June 26, 1911. J. L. Thompson, Editor Bystander, Des Moines, Iowa. Dear Mr. Thompson, I appreciate and thank you and your staff for the special edition of the only permanent Negro organ in all Iowa, issued June 16th. Indeed the colored people of this state owe the "Bystander" management what they can never repay. For eighteen years this paper has ploided along with the work of criticism and smears of rebute and indifference, on the part of colored people who ought to be in sympathy with every progressive move. Many, many well meaning sheets have made their advent in the field of journalism since the Bystander's existence, but died a borne-out death. A pride should have this paper in his home. Without the Bystander the rank and file of the colored people of Iowa would learn as much about each other as they know of the native African.

This paper has succeeded and deserves to be honored by all Iowa, especially, saying nothing of the thousands of homes in other states that the The pulpit of the state could ill afford to lose the influence and prestige this paper that has been so faithful to its trust. I favor a great testimonial substantial in character, as a means of voicing our appreciation for the worth of the minister to the state. I suggest the colorful ministers of Iowa all denomination, choose Dee Moines for the place of testimonial and make it the greatest state function for racial uplift and substantial encouragement Iowa has ever known. This can be done by the co-operation of the Nebraska minister of the state and will serve with the same purpose. A better feeling and technical understanding can be brought about between the ministers regardless of denomination. Let us fix a date for this event of moment before 1911 expires. I am yours for perpetual advancement. J. Cornelius Reid, Pastor second Baptist Church, Ottumwa, Iowa. We are in receipt of the special Iowa edition of the Iowa State Bystander.

One man gave a fortune teller $315 for the information that he could find a treasure by digging in his back lot. He didn't find the treasure, but he got a lot of exercise. It is surprising how a city man, fortunate in the possession of a garden about the size of a checker board, can spill $30 worth of clothing planting 10 cents' worth of peas. The appearance of five cows in a plowman in Pennsylvania and the resultant death of three men, simply goes to show that a good thing sometimes can be carried too far.

Just to make good the proud boast that every other city in the country is merely one of its suburbs, New York, a few days ago, sent a Pullman carload of its women to Reno to get divorces. It has now been demonstrated that a motorcycle comes off second best in a collision with an automobile. The question has interested many persons who have had to step lively in crossing the asphalt. A wife in Atlanta had her husband arrested because he refused to kiss her. Husbands are often very fragrant and female friendship is finding it necessary to drive them back into harness.

MAY BE TEST CASE Oskaloosa Situation Probably Will Be Basis of a Decision Injunctions Served by County Attorney Against Last Six Liquor Shops Granted Licenses By City Council. Oskaloosa—The final outcome of the saloon situation in Oskaloosa may form a precedent for the rest of the state. When the city council and the mayor could not agree upon which of the six of the fifteen saloons here should close to comply with the Moon law in getting the number down to one for each 1,000 people, the council granted all fifteen licenses, and the mayor let the matter rest there. Then the county attorney stepped in and served injunctions against the last six saloons named in the list of licenses. A test case is to be made of these injunction proceedings to determine whether it is necessary, bring the number of saloons critically down to the number at this time, and number gradually should be decreased by a system of elimination. Another point at issue is whether a majority fraction of 1,000 people is entitled to a saloon. Under the recent federal census Caskaloosa lacked less than 300 of having 10,000 people, and many lawyers claim that the is therefore entitled to six saloons. The consent petition is still in the courts, so that the right of operation of saloons here is not entirely fixed. The license here has been increased from $1,000 to $1,400 per year.

GOOD PLUMING POTATO CROP WASHINGTON CITY CENTER TO CONTROL TRUSTS NEWLANDS ASKS FOR FEDERAL BOARD TO REGULATE INDUSTRIAL CORPORATIONS. PUBLICITY TO BE REQUIRED Would Compel All Concerns Doing Business of $5,000,000 or More Annually to Register and Comply With Law. Washington—Senator Newlands of evada in a speech in the senate advocated an interstate trade commission of five members to control industrial corporations, as the interstate commerce body regulates the railroads. He contended that the Standard Oil and Tobacco decisions and the recent government report on the steel industry demonstrate the need of an independent, quasi-judicial and administrative tribunal of great character and dignity, as far removed from partisan control as are the courts. The plan is to apply only to industrial corporations engaged in interstate trade whose annual receipts exceed $5,000,000. Mr. Newlands speech was in advocacy of a bill he introduced for such a commission. His measure would separate the bureau of corporations from the department of commerce and labor and merge the bureau into a commission of interstate trade. This commission would require all industrial corporations having receipts exceeding 45,000 Dollars to make adjustments to its capitalization, finances and operations, such corporations to be known as "United States registered" companies. It proposes to make lack of such registration an "indication of something wrong." Mr. Newlands declared that such legislation had replaced or aided the Sherman anti-trust act over twenty years ago this country would have advanced as far in the regulation of industrial organizations as it has in railroad regulation. He referred to the case by Mr. Newlands of the Steel corporation and others as indicating that the great corporation managers realize that public regulation is inevitable. Mr. Newlands said his plan proposes that frequent reports be required from the corporations, information of public interest to be published from time to time, the commissio to be non-partisan, not more than three members to be of one party, and the term of office to be ten years. He said that his plan makes no attempt to give too many powers of correction or punishment, nor the power of pricing, but its powers may be enlarged as experience shall indicate. The measure proposed includes these provisions: The commission may cancel at any time the registration of any corporation for improper financial organization, oppressive or unfair methods of competition, acceptance of unfair methods of refusal to allow access to records or refusal to allow with any judicial decree rendered under the Sherman act. In extreme cases it may debar the offending corporations from engaging in interstate commerce and it may require correction of overcapitalization.

PLAN WORLD TRUST PLAN WORLD TRUST E.H. GARY PRESIDES AT CONFERENCE OF STEEL INTERESTS. Head of United States Corporation Makes Plea for Friendship in Business Life. Brussels.-Judge Elbert H. Gary's plan for the primal elimination of competition in the manufacture of steel was unanimously approved by representatives of the leading steel companies of the world at the conference here. A committee was appointed to consider a plan of organization and report later. In explaining his proposition for a world-wide combination along the lines of the American iron and Steel institute, Judge Gary said the object was "to prevent the destructive fluctuation of steel prices," and maintain a business equilibrium in the world's steel industry. Discussing the question whether such a world-wide combination could be formed without violation of any of the existing laws, particularly in the United States, some of the representatives agreed that being an international organization no nation could challenge it. The steel interests of the United States, Canada, England, France, Germany, Belgium, Italy, Austria and Spain were represented by 160 delegates at the conference. The initiative for the calling of the steel congress was taken by the American Iron and Steel institute which invited a number of foreign manufacturers to attend, and which impressed with the effectiveness of that organization in the United States that an international conference was readily ascertained to.

San Francisco—The measured swing of Referee Welsh's arm, tolling off the fatal ten seconds over the writhing and unconscious body of Owen Moore of England, brought victory to 4d Wolgast in the thirteenth round of the international battle for the lightweight championship. The decisive victory was clearly earned by the terrific punishing power of the champion. It was palpable from the moment they hooked up in the first mauling match at close quarters that Wolgast was the more rugged of the pair. He may have been tired once or twice during the contest, owing to the gruelling pace, but there was a doubt about it, whereas there was never an atom of doubt as to the way things were going with Moran. He looked distressed during each round, the fifth round, while across the ring Wolgast, snappy-eyed and nimble, was chatting to friends in sound of his voice. Wolgast simply wore Moran down in the close fighting, doing his best work with a punch which is known to the fighting men as "loop the loop." It is a right-hander which curls around entangled arms and lands on the face. Wolgast used this punch with such force that Moran's lips were puffed, and blood dripped from his nose and mouth. When Wolgast was working the "loop the loop" he was hammering Moran's fists with forceful rights. It seemed that the closer they got the harder were Wolgast's punches. Moran caught Wolgast quite a number of snapping right-handers in between clinches and punched him with straight lefts. While Wolgast was working the "loop the loop" Moran used a left upper curcund and did a fair amount of damage with it. But neither in infighting or outfighting did Moran's blows carry "tithe of the punishing force" did Wolgast, and there was no real chance for backed Moran to choreat at any time during the fight. Wolgast went after Moran with blood in his eye in the thirteenth round. A couple of well-placed right uppercutted to stop Wolgast, who was on top of his man like a terrier tackling a rat. Moran was battered along the ropes. His guard was moralized with right body punches, and he was sent mum-faced to the men of left swings on the jaw. The right end righted there. The knockout was clean and Wolgast's civory most decisive. TAFT DEFENDS RECIPROCITY President in Speech Assails Critics of Policy Which He Declares is Republican Doctrine. Indianapolis—President Taft in a speech at the banquet of the Marion club declared that reciprocity is the general Republican doctrine at the Canadian agreement before concludes the medical than proposals by Blaine and McKinley. He referred to the last Republican platform stand for duties equating the cost of production abroad and declared that the Canadian proposal squared exactly with the platform plank. He admitted that the cost of living would not be reduced by the adoption of the agreement. He said it would bring prosperity to Canada by increasing its population and its capacity for consumption, thereby helping American. He said it would raise the price of Canadian wheat it would not reduce the price of American wheat. The president's reciprocity speech was a climax to his part in Indianapolis' Sane Fourth celebration. Before President Tait took his seat in the reviewing stand in front of the soldiers' monument here, what is believed by the police to be a spent bullet hit Mrs. Harry D. Tutewiler, wife of a prominent citizen, who was sitting near the president's box, in the thigh. The bullet came from a 38 caliber revolver, and penetrated about three-eighths of an inch, but the wound was insignificant. Mrs. Tutewiler left her seat for a half hour, had the wound dressed and returned in time to witness the parade. Neither the president nor any members of his party were told about the affair, but the police at once started to hunt for the person who fired the shot. Detectives were sent to the top of the monument, but a search of the persons there and a search of the crowd in neighboring buildings failed to bring to light any 38 caliber revolvers, loaded or unloaded. Washington—President Taft anounced the appointment of Philander Claxton, professor of education at the University of Tennessee; as commissioner of education, succeeding Elmer E. Brown, resigned.

Jefferson City, Mo.-The supreme court holds unconstitutional the law of a special tax on all distillers, brewers and rectifiers of spirituous and malt liquors, in that it violated the interstate commerce law in exempting wine from Missouri-grown grapes. The law was enacted in 1909 and Governor Hadley reached an understanding with liquor men affected that the law would not be contested. The agreement, however, was not adhered to. The state will lose $150,000 in annual revenue. PERJURY HUNT IS ON PROSECUTION FOR FALSE TEST MONY IN LORIMER CASE EXPECTED SOON. EVIDENCE IS CONFLICTING Inquiry Is Adjourned Until July 13 But Committee will Make Effort to Verify Truth of Statements Made by Witnesses. Washington—Prosecution for perjury before the next meeting of the Lorimer investigating committee on July 13 is regarded here as the probable next development in the case of the junior senator from Illinois. In the ten days from now to July 13, to which date the inquiry has been adjourned, the investigating committee will make an effort to get at the truth of the testimony it has already taken. It is understood that investigators of the department of Justice are already in the work in various parts of the country, trying to find out how the truth connects with the statements of witnesses so far heard. Attorneys John Marble and John J. Healy, counsel for the investigating committee, will go to Chicago early this week, admittedly "to look up certain matters." The committee had been in session but a few days when the testimony which it was hearing began to show startling discrepancies. Charence S. Funk, general manager of the International Harvester company, testified that Edward Hines, mtl. liaisone lumbermari of Chicago, ap proclaimed club, Chicago, and asked him to contribute $10,000 to the $100,000 Lorimer fund. Funk said there were no other persons present at the conversation. Wirth Cook of Duluth, Minn., a lumberman, testified that Edward Hines had told him of "putting Lorimer over." He testified also that he heard Mr. Hines talking over the long distance telephone to someone in Spring field, the day of Mr. Lorimer's election and swording. Mr. Hines said the down on the next train with all the money that is required." Mr. Cook thought Mr. Hines was talking to Governor Deneen. Testimony obtained before the in investigating committee of the Illinois general assembly several months ago and substantiated by the sworn all davits of three men, was to the effect that Shelley B. Jones of Marquette Mich., had admitted several times that Mr. Hines had boasted to him of "putting Lorimer over" at a cost of $100,000. That is the evidence obtained on the one hand. On the other, the testimony was just as positive—but different. Mr. Hines swore that Mr. Funk aproached him in the Union League club, and asked for an opportunity to contribute money* to Mr. Lorimer's campaign expenses. Mr. Hines said that three other men—all lumbermen, and two of them is his own employer—were present and heard part of the conversation. The one man who was not in Hines' employment was trying to sell him $200,000 worth of lumber at the time. Two of these three men have already testified. They told of the incident just as Mr. Hines recounted it—but on cross-examination they admitted that their memories had been refreshed by Mr. Hines, as recently as three weeks ago. Concerning Writh Cook's testimony, Mr. Hines denied that he had spoken of "putting Lorimer over." Further, he said that he was talking to Senator Lorimer the famous long distance conversation, in dialogue, as he gave it, was unimportant. One other man who has been on the stand, William O'Brien of St. Paul, Minn., also a lumber man, was in that room and in a position to hear Mr. Hines' end of the telephone conversation. He didn't hear it, he said, he cause he was a trifle deaf. Miss Frances Carroll, telephone operator for Mr. Hines' lumber company, on the witness stand told the committee that she had connected Mr. Hines with Senator Lorimer at Spring field on that day in May, two years ago, and had "listened in" on the conversation. She thought she could recollect what he said. When he told to go ahead, she repeated it almost word for word as Mr. Hines had previously accited it. Cross-examination disclosed that Miss Carroll had talked it over with her employer several weeks ago, and that she could remember no other long distance telephone conversation that had taken place during all the ten years she had worked for the Hines company. To a great extent, the Lorimer case has narrowed down to a question of the veracity of witnesses. Three Die In Auto Crash. Providence, R.

"Don't you know every woman's heart is soft towards courting whether she's in it or not?" --Miss Selina Lue. "Good morning, Miss Selina Lue! I fest run in to git some nutmeg, a pound of sugar and a quart of kerosene to make up some apple-ples for Mr. Kenney's supper; he do love 'em so." "There never was such a hand as you fer ples. Miss' Kinney, honey. I recommended you about it to Miss Cynthie not a week ago. I told her I would git you to show her how when —" "Well, we was a-talking that over last night, me and Mary Ellen Dobba, interrupted Mrs. Kinney, "and we think it is fine for Miss Cynthie ter marry him, even if he is a painter; cause when pictures is dull he can git signs and sich to do to keep going. When will he, Miss Selina Lue, get the gifted ones bundles in one arm and balanced the oil-can in the other hand, ready to hurry on as soon as she had extracted the morsel of news she had run upon. "Why, Mis' Kinnay, I never heard—" Miss Selina Lue's eyes were wide with astonishment. "Well, I think it was, to say the least, disrespectful in him and her not to have told you, him a-living in your ewn barn and she so appearing to be loving of you all the time. I hate to have told a deceitful girl, but I say I did want that flower-garden hat when I seen it the other day go by with Ethel Maud and Bennie Dobbs." "I don't know what you mean, Miss Kinnay, by speaking so about Miss Cynthia. They don't nothing in this world hurt me like hearing one of my friends make light of another." And Miss Selina Lue's Irish eyes snapped. "Law, Selina Lue, I didn't mean no harm! I—I jest—" know you didn't, Miss Kinnay, knowing she little criticisms fly the trunk and run into somebody that's easy hurt," said Miss Selina Lue. "Well, I jest seen them setting here in the door yesterday when you was up the river with the Dobbses and they was as thick as two peas in a pod, her a-naughing and him a-talking for all he were worth. You may not know courting when you see it, Miss Seline Luy, not having ever been—" "Mis Kinney, child, don't you know every woman's heart is soft towards courting, whether she's in it or not—and every man's, too, for that matter, though they tries hard to hide it? It isn't only on 'count of my pitiful history with Adoniram Millsap or your'n'ir Kinney that we likes to watch doing so, but also to talk 'em and talk 'em bored in women to hatch out and hover lovers' matching and the clucking over 'em is part of the good times of life. I was jest a-saying to—" "Miss Seline Luy!" screamed Bendle from the Dobbs' front stoop. "Come quick, come quick; Ethel --- Maud's caught her hair in the grapevine and's hanging by it. She was eating 'em! Ma's sick!" Miss Sella Maud hurried with all the speed possible to the relief of the young Absalom, and Mrs. Kinney called after her, "Be sure and rub crab on the roots," whether of the vine or Khel Maud's hair she did not say. When she returned to the grocery half an hour later Miss Sella Maud found Miss Cynthia smiling at her from the back door. Miss Cynthia's approach had been guarded, and instead of coming down the public street, she had slipped through the garden and the chicken yard. Miss Sella Maud was her erstwhile victim and her movements were stealthy when approaching his haunts. "Well, if that isn't plumb hn'taken, to be thinking about you and then turn round and find you a smiling at me!" exclaimed Miss Selina Lue delighted. "I was skewed you was clear wore out with your snack of store-keeping and baby-tending, but you put me in mind of that pink morning-glory there, always fresher and fresher every sun-up. warm sun that comes every morning to cheer up the little morning-glory that droops until she sees you," answered Miss Cynthia with a smiling blush. "Are you rested from your trip?" "That I am, honey-bunch! One day's tread never lasts me overnight. I get up every morning feeling like I have just been cut off the bolt. You see I'm all muscle and a heap of it, but poor Miss' Dobbs has to lift two hundred pounds out of bed every day before she can tell how she feels. But she enjoyed the trip mightly. I got back to Miss Cynthia, she sat down on her favorite place on the steps, with a cautious eye looking out for possible invasion. "Did you have a good time?" "Yes, indeed, we did," answered Miss Sellia Lue happily. "And I'm a looking for results in Mr. Dobbs too. Course that kind of meeting wasorter confusing to me, as was raised under the quiet of the Twin Creek Circuit religion. The drum and the horn and the tamerline, with the rocking of the boat seemed a mite queer. But if it suits some folks to go marching along the narrow road to the tune of a brass band, why others can follow to their salvation queter by a pipe organ. It's the right direction and keep me from being my own mind. Salvation Army is a good name for them devoted people, and I don't hold it again them that they sung hymns to some dance-sounding tunes." "You are not one bit strafaced, Miss Sellia Lue," said Miss Cynthia "You are not one bit strafaced, Miss Sella Luna," said Mary Cynthia with an appreciative smile. "Dearie me, child, they're a lot of trails ter Heaven, I say. But who do you think we saw up on the river road a-horsesback? You had to hurry home so yesterday after I got back that I didn't git er chanct tell you. I was that sweet chanct tell you, and She jumped off her horse, what was riding behind her to keep care, held him a come-running over to where we set on the bank waiting for the down boat. She were just slog to see us and made us all so to home, with laughing and joking with Bennie and Ethel Maud. We all had a good time for most a hour. She let Bennie ride her horse with Ethel Maud on in front of the man. And Mary Ellen was tickled plumb to death with her. Contagion From Cats. Cats are subject to a form of influenza which is communicated to them by a virus that can catch it from man just as readily. Honey, she jetted downright deserves to be your friend; she is so nice and school. It's a mighty good thing to pass one friend on to another and I thank you right here for passing that child ter me, and I'm going to hold her to me tender. "Well, I know it gave her the great est pleasure to see you. I wish I had been there." "We all wished for you and we told her all the news about you. Then we told her about Mr. Alan and the pictures and I invited her to come out tomorrow evening and see 'om and have Mr. Alan explain 'em to her. We can have one of them kinder attention, and I will talk about making up some buckets of lemonade and having some of Mis' Kinney's apple-ples. Won't you be glad to see her?" Something Selina Lue's delight was something wonderful to behold as she unfolded her plan to the paralyzed young woman beside her. "What did she say?" Miss Cynthia at last managed to ask. "She said she would be delighted to come and she was sure you would be glad to have her. And, Miss Cyrthet, what do you think? She knows Mr. Alam—gained with him some pleasure. "Gutter. Why not he be pleased to meet a more old friend she will invite him to a party over to her house. I am so afraid he gets lonely sometimes with jest us." "I am sure she will be—kind to him," awnered Cynthia with great self-control. Evelyn's merciless bidiage already sounded in her ears. Why, oh why had she within that bed? She had the lion on the morning of Friday the thirteenth? "I know she will too." Miss Solina Lue broke in on her criminations of herself, "cause we all give him such a good name, "we Dobbs was some mortified at first and got red and couldn't hardly answer when spoke to, but he forgot his肺 when we was talking to him. "And he her how high thought of he is among the men up here, always ready to sit by the front doors and smoke a pipe with them of an evening. He said if he was to run for sheriff he would glit the Bluff votes to a man, and he would too!" "Then what did she say?" Miss Cynia this was feverishly eager to get at the smile of her friend on the discovery of the whereabouts of the hunted one. "in my cushion, child," called Miss Selina Lue, who thought a catatrope threatened, and she turned to speak to Mr. Dobbs, who was coming up the street with a tin bucket in his hand, evidently in quest of some sort of provender. His errand attended to, Miss Selina Lue started back to the aid of Miss Cynthia, when she was arrested by Mr. Alan's remark that he had thought he had seen some one sitting on the steps with her. Miss Selina Lue's sense of Miss Cynthia was that of Miss Cynthia and the pin, so she seated herself on the steps to await that lady's reappearance. "Was you sick last night?" she inquired interestedly, ignoring his remark. "I seen your light burnting pretty late and I hunted up the peppermint and camphre bottles before I went to bed, for I kinder looked for you to be took down with a spell of colcea. Seems as if raw potatoes might swell in the stomik. I am sorry Miss Cynthale's cooking didn't turn out better, but of course she meant for the best. Cooking don't always come to a woman young in life; it has to be sorter lived to by experience." Miss Selina Lue spoke in an ordinary tone of voice for she was a little nervous about the presentation. Miss Cynthale had retired to the little bedroom, and she could see that the door was shut. In reality the culprit was seated on a box of cans behind the molasses barrel, well within range of the conversation. "Why, Miss Selina Lue, I thought it was an uncommonly fine dinner. I am sure it was sweet of her to bother about me at all," answered the victim loyally. Miss Cynthia's heart gave a funny little start and then glowed in an inexplicable way; she had expected something different from him, perhaps. The situation was one that might have been treated humorously. "Mr. Alan, I am afraid it was Miss Cynthia you was tasting instead of the dinner, cause the looks of what was in the dish and hid away in the frying-pan under the sauce was enough for me. Bleach her heart! I don't guess there was any dog handy you could have thrown it to, so add to and end up to save those feelings." My gratitude, my sense were those of gratitude, my sense were Miss Selina Lue, and if you ever want to go away again, just leave the babies and me in the same hands; we like them, those hands." "That's just like your good feelings, Mr. Alan. We was a-telling Miss Evelyn Branch about how you was friendly to every man, woman, child, dog and baby on the Bluff. Ms' Dobbs was special about your kindness in all Ethel Maud's accidents. She do feel your interest so." "Everybody has been so kind to me that I feel like I had lived on the Bluff all my life," answered Mr. Alan with positive emotion in his voice. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Drowned Out the Band. The Ecstasy (sitting opposite a noisy dinosaur)—Walter, take this gentleman's soup out. I can't hear the band—Punch. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Some weeks ago a learned clergyman (man) white) delivered the baccalaureate sermon at the commencement exercises of a negro college. We asked several of those present how they liked it. The majority agreed that it was the greatest sermon they had ever heard. Among them was an untutored cifto—a man who is in the habit of looking for the other side. This man argued that if the clergyman once saw and say one third of the good things for the negro that he said to the negro, he would have done ten times more good than he did do. One remark reported to have been made by the clergyman attracted my attention especially. He is reported to have said that according to history the negro has not yet done anything but that under God he is destined to do great things perhaps. Now we have nothing to say about the latter part of this statement—not being an expert in theological provision. But we have never seen that the negro has done nothing—why that another story; and on that proposition we're on solid ground—ground that is enveloped, we confess, in fog and mist—but the ground is there. It is so common for orators and writers to dwell on the assertion that its correctness has come to be accepted not only by the orators and writers, but by the negroes themselves. Let us see, who, think you, was the real inventor and founder of our elaborate system of religious work, and that the negro has negro asserting that, he (the negro) was the founder, you would probably discount the testimony by about 95 per cent. But suppose they by about 50 per cent. But in he recounts his explorations, his travels, his investigations among the ruins of cities and empires that flourished, declined and disappeared a thousand years before and that he was the author (Volney) of "The Ruins of Empires" in describing the ancient kingdom of Eurilia and the ruins of Thebes, her opulent metropolis, says: "There a people, now forgotten, discovered while others were yet barbarians, the elements of the arts and sciences. A race of men, now rejected from society for their sable skin and frized hair, founded on the study of the law of nature, those civil and religious systems which still govern the universe." A statement like the foregoing would naturally draw fire from a thousand hostile critics, and when they found that it could not be disproved, the proper course would be taken, and let far into objection, that what's wrong with reference to the foregoing quotation. For in the publisher's preface we read: "A voluminous note in which standard authorities are cited, seems to prove that this statement is substantially correct, and that we are in reality indebted to the ancient Ethiopians to the fervid imagination of the persecuted and despised negro, for the vassalage of the high priests, now of highly revered by the different branches of the Semitic and Aryan races. This fact may perhaps solve the question as to the origin of all religions and may even suggest a solution to the secret so long concealed beneath the flat nose, thick lips, and Nero features of the Egyptian Sphinx. It may also confirm the statement of Diodorus, the author of the book, who selfs as the inventor of divine worship, of festivals, of solemn assemblies, of sacrifices and of every other religious practices. "That an imaginative and superstitious race and founded in the dim obscurity of past ages, a system of religious beliefs that still enthralls the minds and clouds the intellects of the leading representatives of, modern theology—that still clings to the thoughs and tinges with potential in the literature and faith of the civilized Europe and America, is indeed a strange illustration of the mad caprice of destiny of the insignificant and apparently trivial causes that oft produce the most grave and momentous results." From the foregoing the student of psychology can readily understand why the negro is more enthusiastic about solemn religious doings than is any one else. And the reader who is still in doubt as to the correctness of these statements may consult Dracula's International Development of Europe "an important part of the civilized world in matters religious, is still under African domination. Ethiopia has already stretched forth her hands, and like the Nlobe of Nations they may be empty now, but there was a time when they were filled with blessings for the world. It's all right to say that the negro has done nothing—say it and let it go at that. It sounds well in sermon and speech. But remember there are always some minds that look for the other side—"some blind Sampson feeling for the pillars of authority"—Old Hickory in Dallas Express. What is going to become of the hundreds and hundreds of young women and men who are graduating for our many colored colleges, and the exceptional few who are graduating from our mixed schools? Father, and mother, are making preparation, are you putting forth an effort to employ your boy and girl? Are you helping to support any worthy cause that's been fostered, or any concern that's in operation, for the temporal salvation of the race? Are you a rooter of race enterprises or a trocker to them? -Savannah Outlook Not very long ago President Taft, in a speech, defended the integrity and usefulness of the Jews of this country. His glowing tribute to their worth will ever live in the minds of those who believe that race prejudice is contrary to reason and equity. His speech on this occasion certainly showed that he had the moral courage to speak what he thought. Now, occasion comes for him not to speak, but to act, and when it is brought to his attention that Col. Joseph Garsh commanding the military Fort O'Connor disapproved. Private Frank Bloom's effort for promotion because of Bloom's parentage, he immediately directs the secretary of war to investigate the matter. The colonel's indemnation was Jews were not 'desirable social associates.' There being no regulation in the army to prevent an officer from expressing his opinion as to the fitness of a candidate to be advanced from the ranks; Colonel Garrison escaped court-martial; Colonel Garrison escaped court-martial; and a warning not to repeat the endorsement. For nearly 6,000 years the Jews have been well said and they are God's chosen people. Success seems to attend their pathway, and we never see an inmates of our amuishouses, and workhouses, but are our most progressive citizens. It is a mistaken idea that the Jews are all merchants; for among the world's list of great soldiers, authors, musicians, painters and philosophers, are many names of persons of this race. In this case the merits of the applicant should have been considered aside from his race, and endorsement in accord with his service. Our sympathy goes out to the Jews to make us wonderful kind," and what he has done we can do. So when we add money, character, intelligence and industry to our stock in trade, we will have friends to come to our astonishment. That's the way the Jew solved his problem—Richmond Reformer. During the summer some latitude should be shown servants in all vocations of life, especially those in the mental walks of life. There are some rights that servants have that should be respected. They should be shown some attention and knowledge while at work. Reasonable hours should be prescribed for them to work, and the same for pleasure and recreation. Domestic servants in many instances are diminishing because of the painfully long hours they have to work and the poor salary attached. Reports are often heard from all parts of the country of the scarcity of unskilled labor. The workers' labor is overworked. The housekeepers should be more lent to their servants by giving them a reasonable amount of time for recreation and pleasure, and above all to treat them with kindness—illinois Chronicle. Thus far, there have been seven colored ministers to Haiti, namely: Rev E. D. Bassett of Pensylvania; John M. Langston of Virginia; John E. W. Thompson of New York; Frederick Douglass of New York and the District of Columbia; John S. Durham of Pennsylvania; W. F. Powell of New Jersey, and Henry W. Furnish of Williamson, who was nominated several years ago for the place, but failed of confirmation. During Cleveland's second term, Henry S. Smythe, a white man, served as minister to Haiti. All have been men of high character, brilliant attainments and impressive personality. A careful estimate indicates that since the foundation of Tuskegee Institute, two years of training have been given to approximately 9,000 persons. The average length of time that these 9,000 persons have been out is fourteen years, during which time their estimated earnings have been $88,200,000. If they had not received an industrial training, they could have earned during the fourteen years only $12,600,000. That is, by receiving an industrial training, they have been able to earn $75,600,000 more than they would have earned had they not received this training. —Southern Letter.

Normal, Agricultural and Mechanical College in Nashville May Get Sum. PEABODY'S DISTRIBUTION ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOL LARS WILL BE TENNESSEE INSTITUTION'S SHARE. Nashville, Tenn.—(Special.)—If the division of the Peabody fund is made according to the plan that was announced several weeks ago, and if a proportionate share according to the negro's population is made to the deserving youth, more than $100,000 will be set aside for the normal, agricultural and mechanical college that is located in this city. It has been found, after some investigation, that the Peabody Normal school, such as has been used from time to time for that purpose, whites attend, should have been divided in proportion to the population wherever the schools were separate, between the negroes and whites, but since there was no distinctly negro school until recently, it is supposed that this accounts for the failure to divide the fund. A despatched recently appeared in the Memphis Schmitar to the effect that an agreement had been reached and that when a divider of the fund, which was bequeathed to the fund, serving youth of the south," is made to possess Peabody Normal might not encounter any breakers in the future, something over $100,000 would be given to the negroes. The discussion of this Peabody fund continually through the papers has brought to light the notable Slatter fund, which is another evidence of the philanthropic spirit shown by true Americans, who look to the future of the youth of the sunny south. It could not be learned whether the three men of the faculty of the school give any attention to these reports concerning the division of the fund, but in order to the superintendent of the state board would look well into the securing of whatever moneys that belonged to the school, all of which could be used to a great advantage in the coming educational effort. With the already one hundred and fifty thousand added to the one hundred thousand or more that would come from the Peabody fund and the few thousand of dollars that is due from the Morill fund, the educational, normal and mechanical school, agree that we have over $500,000 in our equipment to take its place at the place of institutions of Tennessee. This is a sufficient amount to put the young institution at the head of its class in so far as equipment of buildings is concerned. No school in Tennessee will have more backing and there are but few agricultural institutions in the south that have more land already in their possession, and none with a better location than the site already set up by actual administration building is by actual administration on an elevation within ten feet of the state capital. When the buildings are erected, they will, like the capitol of Tennessee, be the only buildings to be seen from every point in Nashville. HOUSEHOLD SNAKES GIBOIA ARE USED AS DOMESTIC RAT CATCHERS IN BRAZIL. In certain catchers of Brazil, where the climate is intensely hot and where rats are a great nuisance, the common cat does not thrive, but is re-raised in a domestic cat, catcher whose presence is a decidedly pleasant sensation to visitors from the north when first they come in contact with the creature. Giboias are, a species of small boa constrictor employed very generally in Brazil for the purpose above mentioned. They are not at all venomous. They sleep in the house, generally taking up their position at the foot of the tree, and will usually approach they begin to wake up, and during the night they slide swiftly about the premises, looking for rats. Gibolias are offered for sale in the markets of Bahia and Pernambuco for prices ranging $1 to $5, according to the size of the creature. It is said that they are so easily domesticated that if removed from one house to another, they will be taken the house whence they have been taken. Often when one is bargaining with a broker for the sale or lease of a residence in certain parts of Brazil the broker will expatriate with great eloquence upon the virtues and skill of the gibolias that goes with it—Harper's Weekly.

The decision of the high court will knock out the consent petitions in Des Moines, Fort Dodge, Oskaloosa, Waterloo, Boone and Valley Junction, according to Superintendent W. C. Barber of the Iowa Antisaloon league. The decision of the supreme court was made on the legal sufficiency of the consent petition for Winneshiek county. The league contested the validity of the petition on the ground that the withdrawals from withdrawals of consent in Superintendent of supervisors held that the second withdrawals were valid, but were reversed by the district court. The liquor men appealed to the supreme court, which has now affirmed the decision of the lower. A man may change his mind once but not twice, according to the high court ruling. No decision of the supreme court has been so widesweeping in its effect nor so effective for temperance legislation, says Superintendent Barber: "It will knock out the Des Moines saloon petition," said Superintendent Barber this morning, "and those in other cities where withdrawals from withdrawals have been accepted as valid." The court in its opinion says: "It is also claimed in this connection that the withdrawals from withdrawals had the effect of restituting the names upon the original statement/of consent. The case last cited disposes of this proposition as we understand it. It was held that no names can be added to the statement of consent after it is filed."

MINISTER'S PLEA FOR SQUARE DEAL The Treatment of All Classes of Citizens According to Law and Not on Account of Their Nationality Would Ultimately Result in a United People in America. Baltimore.—That the race must not try to succeed on colorphobia lines and that the ideals of the founders of the United States will be ultimately realized in the fair treatment of all classes of citizens is the opinion of Bew. Dr. Marion F. Sydes, the new pastor of the Waters A. M. E. church, this city, expressed in a recent interview. Dr. Sydes has thought deeply on various aspects of the race question, and his conclusions are the result of his viewing the question from its every angle. He has lectured in various sections of the country on racial and economic topics, and his addresses on "The Two Divisions of Man." "The New Negro For a New Century" and "The Reign of the Demagogue" have been fattering received. "I have very definite views." says Dr. Sydes, "on the race question, and the principal one is that all of our ef- M. B. REV. DR. M. F. STEDR. forts to succeed along colorphobia lines will come to naught. I believe in fair play for labor and capital, and all I ask for the race is a fair deal, a man's rights, that we fill a man's place and that we receive a man's pay for labor performed. Our insistence along these lines, without any compromise, will do more good than appealing to the white man on the ground of our color. "I do not preach a white man's gospel or a colored man's gospel, but give to my congregation exactly the same kind of teaching that I would to a white congregation. I have taught my daughter not to expect discriminations because she is colored, but that if they come her way to make the best of them. In a word, the continual expectance of things because of your race does not tend to remove those things that we most abhor—race prejudice and vile discriminations. In short, I firmly believe that under one flag, under one government and with the fair treatment of all regardless of race the grand outcome will be a unified people." Dr. Syles was born in Eddyville, Ill. Aug. 18, 1868. He was graduated from the high school of that town at the age of sixteen and almost immediately thereafter received an appointment as a teacher in Kentucky, but his parents refused to allow him to go on account of his youthfulness. After two years of study in medicine he decided to enter the ministry and in 1889 joined the Illinois conference under the late Bishop John M. Brown. He entered the college department of Wilberforce university, taking a select course; also a postgraduate course in the Hilliboro college in 1906. He was a member of the Ohio conference for fifteen years, filling some of the most prominent appointments, including a term as presiding elder of the Columbus district. His ability as a public speaker created a big demand for his services, which were requisitioned for every big campaign in Ohio while he was stationed there.
