BASS, editor of the Helena Montana Plaindealer writes that he and a large delegation from the great Northwest will be in attendance on the Western Negro Press Association and the National Negro Business League which convenes in Topeka in August. Mr. Bass is a pusher and since Topeka has been preparing to entertain these organizations, his shoulder against the wheel has been seriously missed. Mr. Bass was the life and spirit of all public gatherings in Topeka, and to whatever he set his hand was a magnificent success. It was in his fertile brain that the Kansas Lincoln Day Club was planned and executed. Today this is one of the strongest organizations in the West. It is through this great body of men that the Negro demands and receives political recognition. Prof W. T. Vernon, who has the distinction of having served this club twice as president, was appointed registrar of the United States Treasury, and had the unanimous endorsement and support of the club which is composed of the most substantial citizens in the State. Come on, Bass; Topeka has a warm welcome for yourself and friends. Topeka Plaindealer After all, when we think of it, the nice things said about one is balsam for the roastings that his enemies throw at him. Montana will in any event be represented at the Business League and Western Press Association. Well, too; that Civil Service business did not operate very favorably in this city for the colored brother. We have not learned how it went with mayor Corby yet. With the Co-operative League Movement in full blast, and the personality of those whom we understand are at its head, a forward movement along all lines among our people in this city can be looked for. We hope that all of those engaged in business will meet with us on the call which will be sent out in a few days. All indications point to a record-breaking attendance at the National Negro Business Men's meet in Topeka, August 14th to 16th. JOHN T. CAMPBELL WRITES to the Indianapolis Star What May be the Results Veteran Soldier Says Americans Must Appear to Foreigners as a Nation of Hypocrites An Enemy is Being Developed It is not easy to forecast the great movements of mankind. We have the recorded facts of the migrations, invasions, expulsions and amalgamations of great masses of mankind, but the motives that prompted and inspired them are but little more certain than brave guesses. It is difficult to read the future. Judging the future by the past,—such of it as we understand—as there were great movements of men in the past, so will there be in the future. If we make a brave guess about future great movements, and by chance guess right, then we are profits. But it is well to judge both past and future in the light of the present. How often we see a great present movement with a well-defined motive at the start end with the motive so greatly modified as to be an entirely different one. Take the great civil war in the United States. All along the great quarrel that led up to it, the contention of the ultimate secessionists was for the right to carry slavery into new territory. When they began to realize how difficult it would be to hold even the territory they then had, they gradually took up the contention for the right of a State to withdraw from the Union. On the part of the United States Government, the contention at first was the mere maintenance of the Union; but how different at the conclusion. Now that the Union has been maintained (so far as a land boundary is concerned) and commercial relations have been knitted into a homogeneous whole, the North has abandoned all interest in the welfare of the Negro, a hundred and eighty thousand of whom helped to win the victory, and the South has successfully cramped him back into his antebellum condition politically and socially, and still call themselves "Confederates," and the North, who a few years ago referred to them as "Rebels," now with reverent, uncovered head, refers to them as "Confederates," and the Negroes as "dammed niggers." On this basis I am going to make a brave guess, and possibly a prophesy. In the ex-slave States there are now about nine millions of Negroes. They are so treated, and long have been by their white neighbors, that a hatred between the blacks and whites is constantly near the point of explosion. The whites are compactly organized and have carried their provocation to a point where they dare not relax their vigilance. The blacks too have learned much and are learning. They too have their secret organizations all through the "black belt." Each succeeding generation of Negroes is harder to whip than its predecessor. Even during the Civil War the ignorant slaves had a surprising knowledge of the military situation. So far as I could see they knew it as well as did the whites who read the papers. How they acquired that knowledge was a mystery to me, for their white masters did not inform them. But they had it from Helena, Montana, Friday, July 19, 1907 some source. One day in early August, 1862, at Baton Rouge La., I was field officer one day. We were expecting an attack, and had five hundred Negroes cutting a hillside so as to form a precipice. They had cast the dirt up hill as far as they could with shovels, and were then casting it down. I came along above them, and was looking down on them. They were talking quite lively about "Massa Lincum" and "Massa Jeff Davis" and "Massa Lee" and "Massa McClellan." At last one looked up and saw me, and he gave three distinct raps on his shovel handle with his knuckles, and others took up the tapping, and I could hear it repeated along the line of Negroes for a hundred feet each way. After a few minutes I asked, "Boys, how would you like to be soldiers?" Nobody answered. I asked again, and directed my question to a large fellow who had been talking very lively a few minutes before. He answered, "I don't know, sah." I got enough of their talk to learn that McClellan was crowding Richmond pretty hard. The papers from the North had not yet reached us, as they came by a chance steamer from New York, and when they came they confirmed what I heard these Negroes saying to each other. McClellan was then the nearest he ever got to Richmond. They were working hard and talking as they worked. They were working to help the Yankees in whose cause they believed. There was not an idler among them. Later on, these ignorant Negroes made first-class soldiers when they ably commanded. The Negroes of today will make as much better soldiers than those of the Civil War in the proportion that their intelligence is greater. Their numbers have doubled since 1860. Of the present number, at least a million good hardy, brave soldiers can be enlisted in a cause that shall command their enthusiasm. Our people seem blind to the fact that they are developing a most formidable enemy in their own midst. Wars are precipitated very suddenly sometimes. During our Civil War, by the unauthorized act of Captain Wilkes in taking Mason and Slidell off the British merchant ship Trent, a course which Britain had long practiced and against which we had long protested, we were within forty-eight wars of war with Britain. When we took up the practice (apparently) Britain came down hard with a war-cry protest. Lincoln surrendered the men on condition that it should be a governing precedent for the future. Seward advocated accepting war, but Lincoln replied "One war at a time, gentlemen." President Cleveland put us very close to war with Britain about the Venezuelan boundary. Our war with Spain was precipitated suddenly. Who could have guessed the political changes that resulted from Napoleon sending his ambassador to Berlin to insult King William and provoke the Franco-Prussian War? When we forced, as it were, a treaty with Japan during Filmore's administration, San Francisco, Cal., was but a Spanish village. Who in that day would have guessed that the Spanish village in fifty-five years would grow to such magnitude that it would violate and defy the Americo-Japanese treaty? But here we are, and by the record we are wrong. Japan is not intensely pleased with the situation, and our people are not disposed to conciliate her. We have grown so rapidly and so wealthy that we have become a nation of proud flesh,—too rapidly grown to be solid. We are in- clined to thrust our bulk against all outside hostility. So was Russia in her contest with Japan. Just now we are on good terms with Britain; both nations have some old scars healed by time, but they are easily bruised and liable to subsequent irritation. Britain once declared war against Spain about Jenkins' ear, which had been cut off by a Spanish captain thirty years before (Carlyle). Britain did not want a war with Spain when the ear was cut off, but thirty years later she did, and that ear was unrolled from its camphor and cotton, and furnished a cut and dried pretext. Who knows how soon some old dry ear may be unwrapped as a pretext to resettle many past grievances? Our steal of Oregon was fair, but it was a steal, sanctioned only by a majority of one, with many British votes within call, but not notified in time to prevent snap judgment? Neither nation was satisfied with the British-American (Canadian) boundary. Well, in brief, suppose the two nations find themselves at war? Britain twice armed the Indians against us. At those times it would cost more to arm and drill the Negroes than their services would be worth. Not so now. If the present-day Negroes should be offered a dependency government by Britain they would flock to that standard as iron filings to a magnet. The secession they helped to defeat of their masters they would help to win for themselves, and the Gulf States might successfully secede at last, as a Negro government. Suppose that a considerable number of our intelligent, courageous Negroes should go to Canada, Jamaica and England; and by legal process become British subjects as is contemplated by many of them, and should return on a visit to Charleston or Atlanta with British passports, and should be mobbed or lynched for refusing to give all the road or sidewalk to the "white trash" they chanced to meet. Britain and France gave General Butler much trouble at New Orleans by allowing rebels to take out British and French "papers." They then became the most insolent of rebels while claiming the rights of foreign neutrals. I have understood of late years that such papers were not regular nor legal, but Butler was a good lawyer and recognized them as legal, and Britain at that time was in a mood to unroll Jenkins' ear at us. What would she do in the case suggested? The United States has always given asylums to political offenders of European countries, and we cannot well object to being paid in our own coin when a like debt is due us. Suppose Japan should secretly employ the discharged and disgraced soldiers of the Twenty-fifth Infantry to go through our Southern States and quietly organize the alienated Negroes to quietly meet at some place on our Pacific Coast to join a Japanese Army? Doubtless this could be forcibly prevented, and if not prevented it could be defeated. But it would be a troublesome problem. Could it not be much easier prevented by giving the Negroes cause to be patriotic rather than alien? Only those who have the confidence of the Negroes know how intensely bitter they feel about their treatment. As we have given the Japanese cause to feel the same way, it would not take long for them and our Negroes to fraternize. Our general treatment of the Negroes is so contradictory of our Declaration of Independence, and our theory of government that we must appear to foreigners as a nation of hypocrites. John T.

In some manner, as yet unexplained, two bags of powder became ignited, and in the terrible flash that followed the entire turret crew, consisting of three officers and 18 men, were engulfed in fire and re- ceived horrible burns, one one officer dying before the ship reached port. The explosion occurred in the after superimposed turret, where the mer, under command of Lieutenant ( sspor Goodrich, son of Rear Admiral Good- rich, commandant of the New York navy yard, and Midshipman Faulkner Golathwaite and Jobn T. Cruse, were operating the 8-inch gans. The guns in the forward turret had finished eight rounds of practice and the guns of the after turret had fired one round. Two cases, as the big 100- pound bags of powder are called, had just been sent through the ammunition hoists and were in the arma of the loader, whose name was withheld by the ship's officers. The loader stood at the breach of one of the eight-inch guo,s ready to insert the charge. At this instant the torcet was seen to be smoky, and two men who stood near the loader saw a black spot on the bag, indicating that the charge bad ignited and was smoldering. The loader dis- covered the spot at the same instant and thrwe bimself forward on his face, at the same time shouting a warning to his turret mates. The other men who bad seeu the spot were Eich and Hansell, and they also threw them- selves on the flocr of the turret. | Before the other men in the turret could understand what caused the loader's gry of warning there was a blinding Hash, asthe burning powder | exploded. | Flames, smoke and neuseous gases Jailed the little superstructure, in ‘| which more than a score of men were ‘Jconfined. As the powder was not con- | fined, there was no report, nor did the vesse] suffer any injury, but every nook and corner of the turret was filled with flames. The loader, who was, of | course, nearest the powder, was terri- | bly burned, as was every other man in ‘| the tarret with the exception of Eict ‘land Hansell, who, although scorched, ‘}escaped with injuries much less severe than others. ‘| Blinded by the smoke and flames, ‘choked by the acrid, penetrating, gas: ,|eous formes, and maddened with pain e|the men screamed in agony.

Servist of Havre, who, it is believod, is suffering from @ mania of perse. cution. Maille fired two shots at the President, but did not hit him. He was at once placed under arrest, On account of the activity of the anti-militarists, who tried to organ- ize a demonstration against the army throughout France Sunday, excep. tional precautions were taken to safe. guard President Fallieres. The at. tempt on his life occurred on Avenue des Champs Elysee while the presi. dent was returning to the palace from Longchamps, where he had re- viewed the garrison of Paris in the presence of 250,000 enthusiastic peo- ple. Premier Clemenceau and M. Lanes, ‘the president's secretary, were with the president in his landau, which was escorted by a squadron of cuirassiers, The carriage had safely emerged from the Bois de Boulogne, where the militarists had been station. ed with the intention of hooting the soldiers, and was descending the broad Champs Elysee amid the accla- mations of the crowds thronging the sidewalks, who were shouting, “Vive Mallieres!” “Vive Varmes!” when at the corner of Lesueuer Street, Maille, vom the curb, fired in quick succes ion two shots point blank at the resident, Miraculously no one was it. President Pallieres was cool and: vilected when the cortege stopped. fhe diplomats who were following the nvesident’s carriage alighted from heir carriages and hurried to the ide of M. Fallieres, Finding that nobody had been in- ured, by the president's orders the ortege moved on. In the meantime wo policemen seized Maille, whe ade no resistance, but the policc ith difficulty prevented the irate rowds from lynching the prisoner ntil a cordon of reserves came up ad conducted bim to the station. here Maille refused to give any rea- m for his act, saying: “The revelations | have are so ave and serious that I will only ake them before a magistrate for ansmission to the chief of state.

Some of the witnesses of the shoot ing said that Maille fired in the ait {t is believed the man participated {1 the recent seamen’s strike and tha his mind has been unhinged by fan cied grievances. It is believed als: that he aided in the revolutional agi lation of the general federation of lwbor and the anti-militarists, ‘There is no reason to suspect a plot, as Mail le only arrived here from Rouen last night, Maille apeared before an examining magistrate and the authorities only sueceeded in extracting from him a rambling statement about family per- secution directed against him, It was in order to draw public attention to his grievances, he said, that he fired the shots, The prisoner terminated the examination by announcing his intention to give no further explana tion, as he believed the magistrate would do nothing lo remedy his wrongs. President Fallieres has received nu. merous telegrams of congratulation from the rulers of many countries on nis lucky escape. ‘The attempt on the life of President fallieres probably will strengthen the sovernment’s intention to put a stop o the antimilitarist propaganda vhich is already demoralizing the my and becoming a menace to the epublic, ‘Thirty-nine ringleaders vere arrested Sunday for hissing sol- iers who were returning from the re- jew.

Rheumatism is more than skin deep—it is rooted and grounded in the blood and can only be reached by constitutional treatment—IT CANNOT BE RUBBED AWAY, Rheumatism is due to an excess of uric acid im the blood, brought about by the accumulation in the system of refuse matter which the natural avenues of bodily waste, the Bowels and Kidneys, have failed to carry off. Thia refuse matter, coming in contact with the different acids of the body, forma uric acid which is absorbed into the blood and distributed to all parts of the body, and Rheumatism gets possession of the system, The aches and paina are only symptoms, and though they may be scattered or relieved for » time by surface treatment, they will reappear at the first exposure to cold or dampness, or after an attack of indigestion or other irregularity, “Rheuma- tism can never be permanently cured while the circulation remains saturated with irritating, pain-producing uric acid poison, The disease will shift from muscle to muscle or joint to joint, settling on the nerves, causing inflammation and swelling and such terrible pains that the nervous system is often shattered, the health undermined, and perhaps the patient becomes deformed and crippled for life.
