The South was fully conscious of the enormity of the degradation it was sought to fasten upon her."—Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution (Dem.). STANDS SQUARELY ON PLANK. The Republican platform, adopted at Chicago, explicitly demands justice for all men without regard to race or color, and just as explicitly declares for the enforcement and without reservation, in letter and spirit of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution. It is needless to state that I stand with my party squarely on that plank in the platform, and believe that the fair and impartial enforcement of these amendments are in keeping with the real Amer --- --- Vol 10 --- Alabama has a cumulatice law in respect to voting which lays a penalty upon not paying poll tax. Thus, if John Jones fails to pay poll tax for three years, one dollar per year, when he comes to vote, he must pay not three dollars, but four and a half dollars. Under this system it is estimated that over twenty thousand Afro-American voters are disfranchised. This and many other instances of the kind show by what means the Southern oligarchy perpetuates its power. "The black man's right to aspire to the highest dignity has ever been scornfully questioned.

Archer was sent from Chicago to straighten out the kinks in the Republican camp. Archer will have to do better than he did last year or work on a different line. The old gang would not allow Dennis Flynn to speak here last year and they are just as enthusiastic this year. The chairman of the congressional committee certainly has it in for the Taft-Sherman Republican Club, as not a member of the organization has been invited to campaign for the party.

CURE GOVERNMENT GRANTED APPEAL Order Made Allowing Rehearing in Commodity Clause Case PHILADELPHIA: Judges Dallas, Gray and Buffington, of the United States circuit court, handed down an order allowing the government to appeal from the decision of the court in the suit of the United States in the matter of the constitutionality of the "commodity clause" of the Hepburn rate bill. Counsel for both the government and the defendant coal roads will petition the supreme court of the United States to give this case precedence over all others on account of its great importance. The assignment of errors upon which the appeal was allowed are about ten in number and were filed by L. Allison Wilmer, special assistant to Attorney General Bonaparte, and by District Attorney J. Whittaker Thompson. It is contended that the circuit court erred in holding that the clause is not a valid exercise of the powers of congress under the constitution, and that the measure would deprive the railroads of their property without due process of law. It is also contended that the court was wrong in declaring the law discriminative, and a prohibition, and not regulative of interstate commerce. BIDS FOR FLYING MACHINES Navy Department Wants Four Capable of Making Flying Start WASHINGTON: Aerial navigation as an auxiliary to the naval service is contemplated in specifications for four flying machines for which proposals for construction will be asked. The specifications require that each machine shall carry two persons of a combined weight of 350 pounds, a sufficient supply of fuel at the start for a flight of at least 200 miles, for a period of four hours at an average speed of not less than forty miles an hour, and to remain continuously in the air during the trial. They are to be so constructed as to be able to alight without damage on land or water, to float on the latter, when at rest, without wetting any of the air supporting or controlling areas and to be able to rise therefrom without appreciable delay under their own power without the aid of special starting apparatus. Bidders must guarantee the delivery at the naval academy at Annapolis of at least one machine within five months after the signing of the contract, and the remaining three within eight months. TO FORM NEW DISTRICTS Eleven Districts of National Bank Examiners Announced WASHINGTON: Comptroller of the Currency Murray has announced that he would put into immediate action a plan for the formation of eleven districts of national bank examiners, with a chairman examiner in charge at each of the following cities: Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Nashville, Chicago, Minneapolis, Kansas City, Fort Worth, Denver and San Francisco. The chairman in each district will compile quarterly reports to the comptroller from the reports of the examiners covering the states in each of the lists. ROCK ISLAND REMOVES CASE Joins the Frisco and Katy in Claiming a Foreign Home GUTHRIE: The Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific has joined the Katy and St. Louis & San Francisco railroads in claiming a foreign domicile to avoid trial in a state court, according to information received by Acting Secretary of State Meyer. The railroad is said to have sought to secure a transfer of a damage suit in Pittsburg county, in which Mrs. Let Me Send You a Package of Defiance Starch PUTTING IT UP TO BILLIE. Legical Reason Why He Should Be the One to Ask Favor. The wagons of the "greatest show on earth" passed up the avenue at daybreak. Their incessant rumble soon awakened ten-year-old Billie and his five-year-old brother, Robert. Their mother feigned sleep as the two white-robed figures crept past her bed into the hall, on the way to investigate. Robert struggled manfully with the unaccustomed task of putting on his clothes. "Wait for me, Billie," his mother heard him beg. "You'll get ahead of me." "Get mother to help you," counseled Billie, who was having troubles of his own. Mother started to the rescue, and then paused as she heard the voice of her younger, guarded but anxious and insistent: "You ask her, Billie. You've known her longer than I have."—Everybody's Magazine. GIRL WAS DELIRIOUS With Fearful Eczema—Pain, Heat, and Tingling Were Excruciating— Cuticura Acted Like Magic. "An eruption broke out on my daughter's chest. I took her to a doctor, and he pronounced it to be eczema of a very bad form. He treated her, but the disease spread to her back, and then the whole of her head was affected, and all her hair had to be cut off. The pain she suffered was excruciating, and with that and the heat and tingling her life was almost unbearable. Occasionally she was delirious and she did not have a proper hour's sleep for many nights. The second doctor we tried afforded her just as little relief as the first. Then I purchased Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Pills, and before the Ointment was three-quarters finished every trace of the disease was gone. It really seemed like magic. Mrs. T. W. Hyde, Brentwood, Essex, England, Mar. 8, 1907." And the Fee in Sight. Doctors and lawyers have at least one good trait in common. They never give advice before it is asked for.

MISS HELEN SAUERBIER Miss Helen Sauerbier, of 815 Main St., St. Joseph, Mich., writes an interesting letter on the subject of catching cold, which cannot fail to be of value to all women who catch cold easily. It Should be Taken According to Directions on the Bottle, at the First Appearance of the Cold. St. Joseph, Mich., Sept., 1901.—Last winter I caught a sudden cold which developed into an unpleasant catarrh of the head and throat, depriving me of my appetite and usual good spirits. A friend who had been cured by Peruna advised me to try it and I sent for a bottle at once, and I am glad to say that in three days the phlegm had loosened, and I felt better, my appetite returned and within nine days I was in my usual good health. —Miss Helen Sauerbier. Peruna is an old and well tried remedy for colds. No woman should be without it. Upward by Degrees.

Peter Terreros, r. muleteer, discovered by accident the Real del Monte deposits in Hidalgo, and at the end of 12 years had won $15,000,000, and a Spanish title of nobility; and, to give another example, two brothers named Bolados, who earned a miserable livelihood by carrying fuel, found in a crevice opened by earthquake, an enormous block of silver worth $1,250,000. WANTED TO KNOW The Truth About Grape-Nuts Food. It doesn't matter so much what you hear about a thing, it's what you know that counts. And correct knowledge is most likely to come from personal experience. "About a year ago," writes a N. Y. man, "I was bothered by indigestion, especially during the forenoon. I tried several remedies without any permanent improvement. "My breakfast usually consisted of oatmeal, steak or chops, bread, coffee and some fruit. "Hearing so much about Grape-Nuts, I concluded to give it a trial and find out if all I had heard of it was true. "So I began with Grape-Nuts and cream, 2 soft boiled eggs, toast, a cup of Postum and some fruit. Before the end of the first week I was rid of the acidity of the stomach and felt much relieved. "By the end of the second week all traces of indigestion had disappeared and I was in first rate health once more. Before beginning this course of diet, I never had any appetite for lunch, but now I can enjoy a hearty meal at noon time." "There's a Reason." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

Republican Headquarters—Rooms 222, 223, 224 Missouri building. In Arkansas the Republicans cast 42 per cent of the entire vote and have about 1 per cent of the members of the legislature. This result is brought about by having all the election officers appointed by three State officers. That is what Mr. Bryan's party thinks of "Let the people rule." The Charleston News and Courier hopes that "the negroes will continue in their hidebound advocacy of the Republican party and its works." Well, why doesn't the South Carolina journal induce Mr. Bryan to make a preclamation to that effect? Judge Taft favors industrial and higher education for the Afro-American, the enforcement of the war amendments and equal protection for every citizen. Mr. Bryan favors well, we give it up. We have at last finished up one utterance of Mr. Bryan in regard to the Afro-American. He says that under the came conditions and surroundings, the Northern people would act just as the South has done. During the next four years many cases involving the rights of the race will come before the Supreme Court of the United States. With the possibility that some of the present justices may be retired and their places filled—in the case Bryan's election—by men of the Tillman-Vardaman-John Sharpe Williams type, it is easy to infer what the decisions would be. --- The Same Old Scarecrow. The Evening Democrat, better known as the Race Riot Review, is defending the lilywhites and as usual cussing the negro because a few negroes were delegates to the township convention. We will say the Democrat deliberately falsified because the fellows are using the common word that means prevarication (lie). The negroes did not attempt to run the convention; they could not have done so if they had been so foolish. There were sixty white delegates and only thirty negroes. Does this look like negro domination? If not then the Democrat or the lily-white who wrote the article, prevaricated. There were not two contesting delegations composed of negroes. There was a white contesting delegation and a colored contesting delegation and according to the rules of political equity they were both given seats. Hence the Democrat falsified again. The negroes were the most modest men in the convention and never asked for a single office, but did resent the attacks from the lily-white and the charge that somebody carried rebel bullets for us. That old tale has grown threadbare. We are republicans because we believe in the principles of the republican party and not because anyone went out to stop rebel bullets for us. On that point we remember that 200,000 block soldiers who had no flag for which to fight, stopped a great many rebel bullets. It seems to be the policy of the democrats to assists the lily-whites and at the same time frighten weak republicans by the cry of negro domination. They make one negro more powerful than two white republicans. For instance, they cite Truesdal, Anderson and Greer as having been squelched by Sango and Jones. This is certainly complimentary to Tisdel, et al. We believe that all the ranting and roaring of the Democrats are inspired by the lily-whites and that their intent is to drive the support of the negroes from Mr. Creager and the other republicans, but the scheme wont work as our votes will be registered for the republicans in spite of the lily-whites and their dupes. The Democrat calls a convention of 60 whites and 30 colored a negro convention. Can you see the point? The Demies are scared and have resurrected the old scarecrow—Negro Domination. It wont work this time. In the Probate Court of the County of Muskogee, State of Oklahoma. In the Matter of the Estate and Curatorship of Willie Davis. Minor.

One of the most impor- fant contributions to the facilities which promise well for the future is the Bagdad railroad, which penetrates aw section that offers great induce- ments for trade, The line will be 525 miles Jong and will open up an tm mense area, touching many prominent points in that quarter, and among other places making Damascus and Mecea much easier of access. Amer- Jean Consul Harris, writing from Smyrna, gives interesting particulars about the road, and in conclusion says: “The ditfeult parts of the undertaking will be over after the Euphrates is cromsed, It is estimated that the 81 miles of tunnel, viaducts and bridges will average from $155,000 to $185,000 per imile, ‘This heavy expense will be compensated by the relatively low cost of the level parts. The build- ing of these four sections must be done in seven years, The cost of the 625 miles of railway will amount to about $45,000,000. The Bagdad rall- way will help the commercial, indus- trial and agricultural development of the immense territories through which 4t will run, and will furnish outlets for the mineral wealth of the regions traversed.” The road is built by for- elgn capital, of course, and will be under foreign management, But it means a great deal in the way of im- proving the advantages of Turkey, and should open the way to the traders of the nations, including the United States. Staggering Losses by Fire. ‘The totals of fire loss in this coun try may signify little to the average mind, but the comparative — figures should ean much The figures is- sued by the national board of fire une derwriters show that the average fire loss per capita in the United States for the last five years was $3.02, against 35 cents for six European countries, including France, Germany aud Austvia, It may be objected per haps that it is unfalr to select this particular period for purposes of com parison, since both the Balthmore fire of 1904 and the San Francisco fire of 1906 ure Included in it, And yet, says the New York Globe, if these two fires, vepresenting about $50,000,000, were deducted from the total tire loss of the country for the five years which is es Vinnated al $1,267, 716,955-—-the total would be veduced by but Hite over a fourth, And the American per capita loss would remain about 6% limes larger than the European. What is to blaine for this great disparity? Are We so much more careless than Muropeans? Ave European butidiny codex, fire departments and water sup: plies from 644 to 10 times better than those found in the United States? A Waterbury (Conn.) dispateh tells of a farmer near that place who has developed a potato that “grows on vines like gooseberries.” If Connecti. cut gooseberries grow on vines they wonld be ap great a novelty as the po: tatoes out in this part of the country, Some of the farmers resent the ef. forts of the president to make their homes brighter They think that a# more practical way would be to send paint to them instead of # commis sion TT A MODEL MAN TT oe By EDWIN E. STILLMAN L—. situation squarely in the face, Benton Schuyler was forced to admit that the situation looked unpleasantly dark— in fact, black in the face. Here was he, of good family, 30 years of age, passably good looking, with a good ed- ucation, good health, and a good ap- petite—but with no visible means of support. “By Jove! I'm about down to cases!" he confided to his cigarette, as he sat idly blowing smoke rings. “What an ass I was to meddle with the whirl- pool of finance! I might have lived in comfort; but I wanted luxury—I wanted wealth; I saw visions of mil- lions, and now—the vision is van- ished.” He arose, flicking the ash from his cigarette, and walked to the window and stared out vacantly, Then he turned back impatiently, picked up a paper and cursorily glanced it over, iil his eye chanced upon the following advertisement WANTED.~YOUNG MAN; ATHLETIC, square-shouldered, five feet ten, 38 chest. Right party will be given desir- able employment at fair compensation, with fashionable clothes free, Apply to Alguille & Ciseaux, French Tailors, Lead- er building, Schuyler’s curiosity was decidedly piqued. “Some new advertising scheme,” he thought. “What can they want—a ‘dummy,’ a ‘sandwich’ man or a drum- mer? and why the exact measure- ments?” He was puzzled, but made up his mind that, as he must do some- thing soon, and as he would about fit the measurements named, he would see what the game was, though he meant to draw the line at “dummy- ing” or “sandwiching.” When he reached the place, which proved to be a very exelusive estab: lishment, he found a dozen or more in jine ahead of him, of all sorts and con- didons of men, The line was quickly disposed of, however, und he saw his fellowapplicants turn away with dis- appointed faces, When his turn came he was shown into an inner room and faced a small, nervous, dar®-com- plexioned man, who looked him over, asked him to step upon a tailor's stand, and then carefully went over him with a tape, measuring height, chest, waist, arms and legs, in regu- lar tailor measurements. Then, to Schuyler’s surprise, the little man clasped his hands, yolled his eyes and seemed to go into ecstasies, “Abt my dear salir!” he erled, “Eet ees beautiful-—beautiful! Ket ees. ex: vet! Ve vill not have to look further, Bet ees pairfalt!” Well, what tne deuce is it?” Schuy. ler inquired ‘What do you Want ine to do? 1 don’t know yet that 1 want the job Not want ze job! Mat foi! Ket ees a vale good job. Dare Is nozzing to do bat come vun hour two-tree Nimes ze veek, and be feeted for ze fashionable habits.” Hut what else? drum up trade, or what?” asked Schuyler, “Non, nozzing, nozzing—you do noz zing bul come ven I tell you, and every two veeks you get ze new suit and ze cash pay.” “Well, this is easy,” though Sehuy: Jer, “A new suit every fortnight and a salavy for doing nothing. I'l try it, just to see if there isn't some trick.” So the bargain was made, and Ben ton Sebnyler entered upon his new duties with much mystification and _ bot without some misgivings, for com | Non sense revolted at the idea of get | ting something for nothing, as ii acemed, fashionable and expensive garments— and of a mystery still unsolved. What especially puzzled him was that his tastes or desires were never consult- ed as to the material or make of the garments he received, and once, when jhe hinted that his dress suit was get- | ting a little rusty and that a new one , Would be very acceptable, little Ci- |seaux held up his hands in holy hor- lror ut his assurance. Another thing |that puzzled him, too, was the fact | that he received only about half the suits made to his measure, and then | not for several weeks after he knew | they must have been finished, | One day he was trying on a new | coat he had just brought home, when he noticed a slight rustling, and feel- ing in the breast pocket, discovered a dainty violet-scenied note. Unfolding it, he read: Prince Hal: Would your Highness con- descend to accompany your dear coz Thursday evening to see Mansfield enact King Hal? With love, R. 8. V. P. KATE. No envelope, no address, and no clew as to how it got into the pocket of the coat. That was all—not much, truly; yet enough to whet Sehuyler’s curiosity exceedingly. He was lounging in the Waldorf-As. toria reading room one afternoon when some one clapped him on the back with a “Hello! old chap!” He turned and stared into a comely face, “You have the advantage of me,” remarked Schuyler, coolly. “Beg pardon! Deuced awkward, you know. Mistook you for some one else. My name's Clinton—Henry Van Tas. se] Clinton,” “Ab!” said Schuyler, grinning in turn, “I think I uged to know you at Harvard—my name jis Benton Schuy- ler.” “What? Schuyler, old man, glad to see you, Come on—we'll exhilarate.” | clinton proved to be a cap | ital companion, He seemed to be burdened = with money, and | wow not allow Schuyler to pay for anything, for which, though he could not help feeling like a para. site, Schuyler was nevertheless thank. ful. One evening in early summer | Schuy ler met Clinton coming from the j hotel restaurant: with a handsome | young woman, | “Hey, Schuyler! Come here!” he |halled, “You're just the man I want | to see, Kate, allow me to introduce ; an old college chum, Mr, Benton Schuyler; my cousin, Miss Edgerley Schuyler,” Schuyler looked into a palr of as merry black eyes as ever twisted the heartstrings of a man or turned his | braln topsy-turvy, and murmured: | “I am exceedingly pleased to meet you, Miss Edgerley,” | She held out her hand unconvention ally, “And 1 to meet you, Mr, Sehuy ler, Prince Hal has often mentionec you in the most glowing terms, so you see, I already knew you.” Prince Hal! Kate! Ah! here was a clew to the mystery, But what dic jit lead to? The riddle only grey darker, “What IT wanted to say, Schuyler,’ said Clinton, “is that I am making Wy a coaching party to go out to the Aule Reekie Golf links to-morrow to the amateur championship, and we wan! you to come along—don’t we, Kate?’ “Yes, and we won't take ‘no’ for ay | answer,” assented Miss Edgerly. | “Then there is no other alternative for me,” said Schuyler, smilingly, | "We will start from the hotel hers ‘at nine o'clock, sharp. Be on time, old chap. Tata!” sald Clinton, and so they parted. Schuyler next morning put on @ tweed suit he had not worn before, and hurried off to the rendezvous. They were a gay party, and all en- joyed to the full the exhilarating morn- ing ride through the country and the al fresco lunch on the grounds later. Schuyler was constituted Miss Edger-, Jey'’s escort, and they followed the players over the course with enthusl- asm. During one of the most exciting periods of the game a sudden shower came up. Miss Kdgerley disdained to run to cover from a little rain, £0 | Schuyler protected her as well a8 pos- sible with her sun umbrella, turning ip his coat collar and making the best of 1. Suddenly he became aware that Miss Edgerley's eyes were fixed intent- ly on him. What was it? Her face expressed surprise, mortification, in- dignation—he could not tell just what, ‘but her gaze seemed to rest on his per- son below his face in a strange, fas- cinated way. At length she reached lout a white, taper finger and touched the lapel of his coat. | “Where did you get that?" she ex- | claimed. “What?” Schuyler looked, and there, | Piuned under the lapel of his coat, | was a tiny miniature of Miss Edger- | ley, set in pearls. His own surprise | surpassed that which her countenance }expressed. Just then Clinton came up to them, “What's the row?” he exclaimed. “Eh! Where did that come from?” he added as his eyes lighted on the mini- ature, ‘Then he looked Schuyler over from head to toot and a quizzical ex- pression overspread his good-humored face, “To tell you the truth, I do not know how I came by this,” said Schuy- ler, “Upon my word of honor it 1s a mystery to me, for I did not put the pin there.” But he said to himself: “Confound those tailors!” “Who is your tailor?” inquired Clin- fon, as. if reading Schuyler's thoughts. The young man hesitated—but was saved. “Aiguille & Ciseaux,” he replied. “Hat ha! I thought so,” cried Clin- ton. “You put that pin there yourself, Kate. Don't you remember this suit of tweeds?” They both laughed, looking Sebuy- ler up and down, while he stood coa- founded, “Excuse us, old man,” continued Clinton, “You have been shamefully imposed upon by those swindlers— but it is funny, I'll tell you how it is. You see I was out of conceit with everything English, and so went to these French fellows for my clothes, and as I am too lazy to go and be fitted myself, I conceived the happy idea of hiring some fellow to do that for me. Ciseaux found a man of the same measurements, and so I was re- lieved of the annoyance of fitting, you know, Out of charity and to get rid of some of my surplus clothes I re- turned some of my discarded sults to the tailors, to be given to my mod- el, but it is quite evident that they have been palming them off upon cus- [tomers instead, This tweed sult was returned with this miniature of Kath- evine inadvertently lett where she had ploned it, and you have been victim- ized with my cast-off suit, 1 say, that’s for being of a size with me, Schuyler, But it's a deuced shame and outrage, don't you know, though it is so lu dicrous,” Schuyler joined in the laugh, but his utinits: enn tiation: nid Sc die aha Malaria Makes Pale Blood Malaria Makes Pale Blood The Old Standard GROVE'S TASTELESS CHILL, TONIC, drives out Malaria and builds up the system.
