PEACE! PROSPERITY! UNION!!! And Helena is not behind in furnishing its quota of June brides. Minnesota, the hot-bed of insurgency, failed to insurge and endorsed the present administration. Alsa Iowa failed to come up to the expectations of the insurgents, it looks as though their cause has struck the toboggan. It looks as though Johnny Frye has found a alley to assist him in his chusade on behalf of the Clore street property holders. Blessed by the peace maker our genial County Attorney is no exception to this one of the Golden rules. Teach the young girls that good common sense is more desirable than fine dresses. Col. Jack Johnson and Col. Jim Jeffries are as yet foremost in the eyes of the public. TAKE A STAND The colored men who think they play shrewd politics are sometimes found to be slow at the game. Sincerity and honesty in politics are to be admired and respected in the political world as in any other field of activities. To be brave enough to take a stand is indeed admirable in a public map. Not long ago Representative Longworth took a firm stand as a supporter of President Taft. He did not quibble or hesitate, he did not wait "until further developments," but he had the bravery to take a stand and the people admired such a man. It is humiliating to see how some colored politicians "trim" and "evade" and "play shy" in their efforts to keep from taking a stand. President Taft is no novice in politics; Senator Hitchcock is none, and just as sure as the sun rnses and sets, they are observing some evidences of "trimming" among the colored brothers these days. Let not these "brothers" deceive themselves with the delusion that they are "fooling" some body—they certainly are not fooling anybody but themselves—Washington America. New England Missionary Convention Held in New York. MANY CHURCHES REPORTED. Large Number of New Ones Joined the Convention—Strong Arraignment of Race Prejudice Made by the Committee on State and Country In Its Report—Social Features. By N. BARNETT DODSON. By far the most representative gathering of Negro Baptists which has assembled in New York for many years was that of the thirty-sixth annual meeting of the New England Baptist missionary convention held in the Abyssinian Baptist church from June PRESIDENT W. A. CREDITT. 2 to 6 inclusive. The convention includes in its membership churches from Washington and throughout the New England states and is also largely affiliated with the national Baptist convention, especially so in the distribution of its moneys for home and foreign missions. The convention was called to order by the president, Rev. Dr. William A. Creditt of Philadelphia. After devotional services and the reading of the call for the convention by the corresponding secretary, Dr. W. A. Harrod, and the adoption of the program as prepared by the board of managers President Creditt proceeded to deliver his annual address. The theme of the discourse was unity and loyalty to Baptist doctrines. He referred to the progress of the denomination from both a numerical and financial standpoint, showing conclusively that Negro Baptists are more than holding their own along all lines. He was frequently applauded. He is full of zeal, coupled with knowledge, experience and fine executive ability. He is a busy man. As pastor of the old Cherry Street Baptist church, Philadelphia, he has made an important record. The new church edifice, now known as the First African Baptist church, is a credit to his splendid leadership. It cost $100,000. $67,000 of which has been paid. Sixteen hundred members have been added to the church. A building and loan association and a mutual aid society have also been organized by him during his pastorate. He is president of the Downingtown (Pa.) Industrial and Agricultural school, which had an enrollment the past term of 110 students. The school is one of the youngest and best equip- REV. DR. A. CLAYTON POWELL. ped institutions of its kind in the north for the education of our sons and daughters. Under Dr. Creditt and his able associate officers and the board of managers the New England Baptist missionary convention is in safe hands. It is increasing in numerical and financial strength, and its influence for good is rapidly spreading. The Rev. Dr. A. Clayton Povell, vice president of the convention and pastor of the church in which the sessions were held, is also a man of marked executive ability. This may be seen from the recent annual report of his church for the past year. He is not only a great pulpit orator and Biblical scholar, but a successful pastor and leader who knows how to feed his flock. Thaddeus Stevens post, Grand Army of the Republic, New York, was so much encouraged by the annual sermon which Dr. Powell preached recently that it went in a body to the convention at one of the sessions and presented him with a Grand Army button and a certificate making him chaplain and an honorary member of the post.

MILES COLLECTION Institution at Birmingham Third Year Succ Among the educational institutions represented at the convention were the Virginia seminary and college, Lynchburg, Va., Professor James R. L. Diggs, president; the Downingtown Industrial and Agricultural school, Downingtown, Pa.; the National Training School For Women and Girls, Lincoln Heights, Washington, Miss Nannie Helen Burroughs, president, and an industrial school at Providence, R. I. There was a large delegation of ministers of the national Baptist convention, many of whom were en route to the world's missionary conference, which convened in Edinburgh on June 15. The Rev. Dr. E. C. Morris of the national convention, Dr. R. H. Boyd of Nashville, Tenn.; Rev. Mr. Fisher of Alabama, Dr. W. Bishop Johnson of Washington, Dr. E. J. Fisher of Chicago, the Rev. H. D. Proud, missionary to South America; Professor J. R. L. Diggs, president of Virginia seminary and college, Lynchburg, and many other noted educators and religious workers were present. The annual sermon was preached by the Rev. C. A. Ward of Boston, whose theme was "The Place of Christ in Modern Civilization." The sermon was scholarly, doctrinal and full of historical researches. As he dwelt upon the supremacy of Christ in the world the convention was stirred to loud "Amens." The missionary sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. W. S. Smith of Providence, R. I. His subject was "There Is a Man at Your Gate." The illustrations for the sermon were drawn from the conditions which exist between the rich and the poor. He stated that he did not believe that we should be technical in regard to missionary work; that both home and foreign missions should receive our hearty support. Dr. Smith sailed for Edinburgh on the 4th. The convention was largely attended, and a great deal of substantial work was done. The session wounded up with a grand musical and literary REV. A. MARK HARRIS, D. D. reception to the delegates by the Abyssinian church Monday evening, June 6. Among those who took part in the program were Miss N. H. Burroughs, Miss Mary J. Matthews, Junius Williams, Rev. W. P. Lawrence and Dr. W. A. Harrod. The receipts during the sessions of the convention were nearly $1,500. There were 153 churches represented in the convention, 375 delegates, not including those from New York and vicinity. A large number of new churches joined the convention. Dr. Creditt is making a fine record, and the convention is proud of him. The officers of the New England Baptist missionary convention are: Rev. W. A. Creditt, D. D., president; Rev. A. Clayton Powell, D. D., vice president; Rev. A. Mark Harris, D. D., recording secretary; Rev. W. A. Harrod, Ph. D., corresponding secretary; Rev. R. D. Wynn, D. D., treasurer. R. D.

Bray's Annual Report Received With Marked Approval by Trustees, Who Re-elect Him. Double Defeat For Dr. R. T. Brown. Work on New Building For Boys. Miles Memorial college, the institution of learning maintained in Birmingham, Ala., by the Colored Methodist Episcopal church, closed its third annual session recently with a record breaking attendance and other indica- PRESIDENT J. A. BRAY. tions which point to its successful career as one of the schools worth while in the southland. The feature of the whole occasion was the welcome reception held in honor of Bishop G. W. Stewart, D. D., of Selma, Ala., who was elected bishop in the church at the recent session of the general conference held in Augusta, Ga. Bishop Stewart resides in Alabama and is the first prelate in the church to be elected from that state. An extensive program was arranged, and addresses were delivered by representatives of the various denominations in the community, as well as representatives of the various professional and business interests of Greater Birmingham. On the seat of honor with Bishop Stewart sat Rev. D. V. Washington of Birmingham, who was also elected general secretary of missions at the general conference. The wives of both these officials were included in the honorary ceremonies. Dr. James A. Bray, president of the institution, acted as master of ceremonies. The annual report of the president, Rev. James A. Bray, D. D., was read to the board of trustees and received with a great deal of enthusiastic approval, many regarding it as the best report of a year's work in the varied history of Alabama's educational work in the church. Opposition to Dr. Bray's re-election developed, however, in the candidacy of Dr. R. T. Brown, recently editor of the Christian Index, the official organ of the church, and the defeated candidate for the bishopric at the general conference. Dr. Brown's candidacy in a manner was regarded as an aftermath of the general conference activities, but his effort to introduce the warfare into the local educational institution was resented by the men on the board of trustees, and Dr. Bray was re-elected by a vote of 16 to 8. In the eight voting for Dr. Brown he himself was counted, while of the Bray adherents Dr. Bray and Bishop G. W. Stewart, who, in the absence of Bishop R. S. Williams, presided, failed to vote. All of the commencement exercises were of a very high order. Rev Dr. I. S. Persons of Jackson, Tenn., preached the commencement sermon. The faculty as recommended by President Bray was re-elected for the ensuing term. At the close of the board meeting Bishop Stewart expressed his determination to raise at least $8,000 by the conference season, which he hoped to use in completing the new building for boys. Several new additions were made to the work of the institution which will greatly enhance its usefulness.

No Color In Efficient Service. No Color in Efficient Service. The Negro must play his part in every field of useful endeavor, says the Indianapolis (Ind.) Freeman. He must be a factor in business, a factor in the church, the school and in the organizations that stand for civic betterment. And last, but not least, he is entitled to hold any public office for which his education or training fits him. There is no color in efficient service. AMONG THE MINERS Courtesy Treasner State In "The New World," a recently published book that is attracting the attention of liberal-minded readers, there is the statement: "Conservatism is a milled term for stupidity." In the sense that stupidity is the failure to seek for and be governed by obtainable facts the verification of the above quotation can be found in every branch of human endeavor and in no industry are the examples so numerous as in the business of mining. In the light of its final success it was stupidity on the part of Montana capitalists to fail to financially support, as they were then abundantly able to do the Granite Mountain Mining company during the days of its development for had they done so the $15,000,000 of dividends paid by the company would have remained in the State, whereas, 99 per cent of which sum was expended by the St. Louis stockholders in the erection, in that City, of palatial business blocks and residences. The Walker Bros. exercised extreme conservatism in failing to grasp the opportunity presented to them by Marcus Daly of owning nearly the whole of Anaconda hill, and the time was when Wm. A. Clark could have purchased nearly all the properties now under the control of the Amalgamated Copper Company which earned a net profit for the year ending April 30, 1910 of $5,963,968, an increase of more than $2,000,000.00 over the net income of the previous year Conservatism does not belong to the discovery or making of mines though it may have its day in the extraction and reduction of ores after the mine is developed. The men who find and make'mines possess opulent optimistic natures and unbounded imagination. They are veritable dreamers until success crowns their work and then the world credits them with being wise in Metallurgical lore and of great foresight. It is interesting to listen to the might-have-beens relate how they could have owned every new mine that is developed "for a song." The men who first developed the East Pacific were successful in their business avocations. After taking over a half a million from the prop- erty, they decided to sell, what they supposed was a mere shell, for $12,-500 and the property went begging for nearly two years being repeatedly examined and turned down. Finally R. A. Bell acquired it and extracted more money than did the former owners. Ten miles East of Helena the Overland mine lay idle for many years although the principal owners were amply able to open it up. Came along two men with a capital of $1,500 which proved sufficient to reach pay ore and within 18 months they earned over $40,000 above all expenses, besides paying a large royalty to the owners. And in the lower working of this mine, which has now been about eight years asleep, there is a shoot of high-grade ore over 120 feet in length. It gently rests in the arms of conservatism or the stupidity of men of means who claim to be looking for good investment spots. Adjoining the Overland is the Bonanza Chief with a big body of pay ore, also asleep. Town of Mitchell. A placer stampede occurred in the fall of 1866 to Mitchell gulch, 12 miles south-east of Helena, and a string of cabins extended along the gulch for over half a mile in which over 100 men wintered. The Honorable Martin Maginniss was one of the claim owners and workers. The district embraced French, Lone Tree, Hawley, Nuggett, Murphy and other gulches. Peter Ronan, so long the able, honest, agent of the Flathead Indian Reservation, owned and worked a claim on French Gulch. A. M. Easterly, afterwards sheriff of Jefferson county, was also among the residents of the town of Mitchell as it was known and placed on the U. S. official maps. George and John Heldt, well-known pioneers of Helena, sank a shaft on the lower end of the gulch to the depth of 80 feet, but failed to reach true bedrock. Today but four houses remain on the gulch. One occupied by Mrs. Turner and family, one by Gustav A. Kehern, who was a soldier in the army of Kossuth, the Hungarian patriot, the house on the John Doyle property occupied by a former resident of Helena and the houses on the Young property occupied by Robert Bunnel and crew of placer miners. All the seasons since 1866 the placers of Mitchell gulch have been profitably worked and every year new quartz leads have been discovered carrying pay values in gold and yet these leads remain practically undeveloped. Mr. Doyle was a placer miner and gave little attention to the quartz on his property of which there are no less than five, the ore carrying from $12 to $50 of gold per ton. From time to time he leased these leads and not less than $5000 worth of ore has been extracted, milled and shipped to smelters. The ore of the gulch is not strictly free-milling and when an earnest attempt was made, 20 years ago, to develop the leads, smelting rates were so high that the ore could not be profitable shipped. Now the rates are less than one-half the old rate and $12 ore can be profitably worked. NORTHWEST ITEMS WASHINGTON, MONTANA AND IDAHO NEWS NOTES.

F. Patterson, agronomist at the Montana agricultural college, to the position of superintend- ent of the grain judging contest, to the winner of which the Washington board of control will award a valuable trophy. Mr, Burns also announced that Pro- fessor O. B, Whipple, head of the hor- tieultural department of the Montana agricultural college, will be judge of the vegetable exhibits. This depart- ment, he said, gives every promise of having a large number of entries, show. ing a wide range of products of dry farmed land, ‘<The premium list will be attractive in all departments,’? he added, ‘‘and we are looking forward to exhibits from practically every district in which dry farming methods are practiced. Our correspondence from various parts of Montana, Idaho, Oregon and Washing- ron indicates that these states will be fully represented, and there will also be displays from Colorado and numer- yus other states. “Reports from everywhere in the western states forecast large crops of srains, grasses, roots and fruits this year, and the pick of these will be vorth going hundreds of miles to see.’? GIRL LOOKS ON AS LOVERS FIGHT Young Ranchers Battle Until Winded When Riordan Whips Out Knife and Stabs, While the object of thelr affections stood by and urged them to fiereer ef- forts, William Riordan and George Sim- mons, young ranchers, who are rivals for the favor of Elsie Keefe, fought re- cently at Sterling, Col., until both fell exhausted. The battle took place at Riordan’s ranch, where Simmons and Miss Keefe had stopped while out riding. It is said a taunting remark to Rior- dan by Miss Keefe precipitated the trouble, After the men had fought for half an hour, Riordan, finding him- self beaten, whipped out a knife and stabbed Simmons several times, As Simmons fell, Riordan collapsed beside him, utterly exhausted. Simmons will probably recover. NO PRIZE FIGHT 18 FINAL.

ROOSEVELT 18 HOME ARRIVES SAVELY AFTER HIS TRIP OF 27,000 MILES. Was Greeted by Thousands of Admirers at New York Port Saturday—Maked Short Speech and With His Family Goes to Oyster Bay—Will Now Post ‘Himself on National Affairs, New York, June 18.— ‘I have been away a year and a quarter from Amer- iea and I have seen strange and inter- esting things, alike in the heart of the frowning wilderness and in the capitals of the migh and most highly pol ished of civ. — nations,’? said Colonel Roosevelt in hus speech today. ‘I have thoroughly enjoyed myself, and now I am more glad than I ean say to get back, to get home, to be back in my ‘own country, back among people I love, And I am ready and eager to do my part so far as I am able in helping solve problems which must be solved if we of this, the greatest democratic republic on which the sun has ever shone are to see its destinies rise to the high level of our hopes and its opportunities, “This is the duty of every citizen, but it is peculiarly my duty; for any man who has ever been honored by be- ing made president of the United States is thereby forever after ren- dered the debtor of the American peo- ple and is bound throughout his life to remember this as his prime obligation, and in private life as much as in pub- lie life so to carry himself that the American people may never have cause to feel regret that once they placed him at their head.’? At 8:30 o'clock Mr. Roosevelt was transferred from the Kaiserin Auguste Victoria to the revenue cutter Manhat- tan, where he was welcomed by a num- ber of personal friends and relatives and Captain Archibald W. Butt, rep- resenting President Taft. Shortly after this he was transferred from the Manhattan to the revenue eut- rer Androscoggin, which led the water parade that takes him up as far as ifty-ninth street, North river and lown to the Battery, where he was of- icially weleomed by Mayor Gaynor of New York at 11 o'clock, Saluted With 21 Guns. The battleship already had saluted the returning former president at Sandyhook with 21 guns, but on com- ing to anchor alongside the liner the South Carolina hoisted long strings of pennants and the river craft joined in the demonstration with loud and pro- longed blasts from their wnistles. Flanked by Mrs. Roosevelt, his daughter, Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, and his son Kermit, Theodore Roosevelt stood on the flying bridge of the liner above all the decks of the ship, and with his characteristic smile overspread- ing his tanned countenance and a shiny silk hat in hand, he waved acknowledg- ment to the pandemonium on all sides of him. | ‘Teddy Throws Kisses. As the cutter Manhattan came along- side the Kaiserin Mr. Roosevelt made hig way through a group of secoud- cabin passengers, who clustered along the rail, and, spying his children on the Manhattan, called to them and threw them kisses, Mrs. Roosevelt was the first to come down the gangplank from the Kais- erin to the Manhattan, In a moment she had thrown her arms about Archie and Quentin and effusively kissed and hugged both of them. She next greet- ed Theodore Roosevelt Jr. and his fiancee, Miss Eleanor Alexander. Mr. Roosevelt made a flying leap to the deck of the Manhattan and with the exuberance and spirit of a school- boy he slapped his son Theodore on the back. He then turned to Miss Alexander and kissed her. He took up Quentin and Archie in his arms and gave them resounding smacks. These greetings over, Mr. Roosevelt, with Collector of the Port Loeb at his side, extended cordial greetings to the others on board the Manhattan, He shook hands with everybody, includ- ing members of the crew.

Salve Tubes, 25c. $1.00 hood bill, had been passed by the house, and sent immediately to the White House. The president did not sign the statehood bill Saturday. Two of the most important of the administration measures, the railroad and the statehood bills, thus were acted upon finally by congress Saturday. This action was taken by the house, the senate having previously disposed of both measures. It was accomplished practically without debate and in record time, not even a roll call being required in the whole procedure. The railroad bill was the first to receive consideration. Chairman Mann of the committee on interstate and foreign commerce called the conference report from the speaker's table. Brief speeches were made, among them being several by democrats in expression of their opposition to the report. Final action on statehood legislation was accomplished with even greater ease. By reason of pressure from the White House and aided by some diplomatic work by Postmaster General Hitchcock, opposition to the acceptance of the senate amendments to the statehood bill was almost entirely dissolved. The democrates were induced to foreign objection through judicious circulation of a report that if the bill went into conference it might not emerge during the present session. Chairman Hamilton of the house committee on territories at once realized that the only way to put the legislation through and not delay the present session was to agree to the senate amendments and welcomed the administration's assistance. It can not be stated definitely when Arizona and New Mexico will come into the Union under this legislation. It requires that the constitutions adopted by the proposed states must be ratified by congress and approved by the president. Conceding that the statehood bill will be in force within a few days it will be necessary for the territories to hold constitutional conventions, which will require many weeks, submit the constitution to the people of the territories for adoption, and then return them to Washington. Provides Against Joint Elections. Provision is made against joint elections for the adoption of the constitution and for the nomination or election of state officers. It is impossible, therefore, to specify when the people of the two territories will enjoy the benefits of statehood and many believe that it will not be before the presidential election of 1912. The railroad bill is substantially in accordance with the president's message demanding amendments to the interstate commerce laws. About the only exceptions are that it does not legalize holding agreements made by railroads, permit mergers or regulate the issuance of stocks and bonds. Creates Commerce Court. It creates a commerce court and broadens the scope of the jurisdiction of the interstate commerce commission regarding railroads. It also brings telegraph, telephone and cable companies within that jurisdiction. Supervision is given to the commission over increases of rates, and this section, as well as one making provision for the investigation of the stock and bond question, will go into effect immediately upon the bill's being signed. Other provisions, and they are extensive, will take effect within 60 days from the day of approval. SPOKANE MILLIONAIRE GETS A DIVORCE William Huntley of Spokane, millionaire vice president of the Exchange National bank, and Emma V.

KNOX WILL REMAIN IN PRESIDENT TAFT'S CABINET FOR THE PRESENT. Declines to Give Up His State Portfolio to Run for Governor—Means Great Help to President—Republicans of Pennsylvania Greatly Disappointed—Knox's Arbitration Plans Furthered. Washington, June 19.—Definite announcement tonight of the decision of Philander C. Knox of Pennsylvania to remain in the cabinet as secretary of state during the rest of Mr. Taft's term, confirmed the intimations to the same effect received yesterday from Philadelphia. Pennsylvania representatives here make no secret of their disappointment at Mr. Knox's yielding to the urgency of the president. They had hoped that he would become a candidate this year for governor of that state. It was made known late tonight in an unmistakable way that the president regards Mr. Knox's decision as definitely refuting the rumors that the secretary was not altogether happy in his position. The president was represented as anxious that the outcome should be indicated beyond question and that he regarded Mr. Knox as a great lawyer and as a great secretary of state. It was declared that Mr. Knox had played a very important part in all the important policies of the administration. Attention was drawn to Mr. Taft's stated policy of non-interference with the head of the departments and it was pointed out that in every respect Mr. Knox's acts and decisions have had the unreserved support of the president. It was made plain that for every reason Mr. Taft regards the secretary's decision with more than ordinary satisfaction. During a long conference at the White House today President Taft told Mr. Knox that he was exceedingly anxious to have him remain the head of the state department. The president told Mr. Knox that he wanted him to carry completion the court of arbitration plans and other matters that have been started during the first year of Mr. Knox's administration of the department.

Chicago, June 19. — The greatest crowd that ever attended a socialist meeting in Chicago today greeted Emil Seidel, the socialist mayor of Milwaukee. It is estimated that there were 50,000 persons, women and children, at the gathering, which was held in a north side amusement park. The meeting originally had been called for the purpose of raising money for the support of the socialist press in Chicago, but resolved itself into an official opening of the socialist campaign for the fall election. Several thousand dollars were raised for the eight socialist newspapers published here in as many different languages. Of all the speeches, Mayor Seidel's was the mildest. The Chicago leaders were bitter in their attacks upon prominent politicians of the old parties. ALASKA SHIPS IN FIRST SPRING GOLD The first shipment of gold from the spring cleanup in Alaska reached Seattle Saturday on the steamship Humboldt from Skagway.

Other shipments, aggregating about a million dollars, have been dispatched from Fairbanks and will be received here before the end of the month. Germans May Go Home.

MUNYON'S, 533d and Jefferson Sts., Philadelphia, Pa. Foods in Other Lands. In these modern days meat is the staff of life, and one finds that the staff costs as much abroad as at home, although over there they do not clamor about the price as we do, writes Robert Shaackleton in the Saturday Evening Post. They merely do without meat. The cuts are different and called by different names, and the grades are endless. In England the poorest folk can buy meat or meat bones for as low as four cents or even two cents a pound. And, too, there are often poor qualities in good cuts; and the British, with characteristic impertinence, refer to the worst qualities as "American," quite regardless of their origin. The best cuts of beef cost in London—where they are given the unattractive name of rump steak—28 to 30 cents a pound; in Paris, 30 to 34 cents; in Berlin, from 32 to 38 cents. Bacon is tremendously dear. In France choice brands may mount to 80 cents, and ordinary brands are a trifle over 30 cents; in England bacon is now about 30 cents, but is rapidly mounting, the increasing scarcity of pigs being responsible for this. Even yet the English love to talk of what they term the “revelations” of Chicago stock yards, in spite of pork importations from China, where the porkers in life are the scavengers of indescribable streets. So insistent, a few weeks ago, did the story become that Chinese pork is imported at Liverpool, shipped to the Isle of Man and thence sent into England as Manx pork, that formal inquiry was made in regard to it in the house of commons, and the cabinet minister, fat from being able to deny it, could only state that the story “had no official confirmation.” Leg of mutton in England costs over 20 cents; in France, 25 to 30. Milk in Paris is 11 cents a quart; in London, 8 and 9. Plain water ices cost in London 85 cents a quart and ice cream $1.10—the portions being always minute. "It is bad for the health, don't y' know. What?" In England good coffee averages decidedly more than in America, 35 cents being a cheap brand. In France it is very dearer, 40 cents a pound for a really good blend being a bargain, and a specialtie being over 60. All common coffees abroad are loaded with chicory, which costs 10 cents a pound and adds great deepness of color to the brew. Good tea costs less in England than in America ranging from 35 to 75 cents. In France it is very high and always medicinal in taste, and a dealer likes to ask over a dollar and a quarter a pound. Butter ranges in all three countries from, say, 30 to 40 cents. Sugar in England is 5 cents a pound; in France it is a government monopoly and much higher. Contrary to the general belief, France is a country where confectionery is very little seen with the exception of chocolate. In London, eating chocolate, almost as good as the well-known New York or Philadelphia makes, costs 75 cents a pound.

The governor had the right to take this action, but to allow the promoters to go ahead and spend many thousands of dollars before taking his action makes it look as though something was in the wind.

President Diaz has refused to accept the life membership voted him by the International Sunday School convention. The president says in part: 'When a people like the Americans draw the color line on black people and I accept membership, with my republic full of black men who are manning our railroads, army and national industries? I would be unfit to make laws for any people. The black man has rights and privileges in Mexico that the world must respect, and I will not wash my hands by accepting a membership into that association which seeks to enslave my fellowman. I trust the American Negro will not weaken, but will fight for his rights until the judgment day when we shall meet Him face to face." THE PLAINDEALER WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY REASON WHY?
