President Taft Over-Cautious Nobody dreams of molesting good judges in States that already provide the possibility of the recall. Any judge who goes on the bench is fairly deemed to be a man of intelligence, who understands the nature of judicial duties. The unjust judge is a miserable rogue. In vetoring the Statehood Bill, President Taft on August 15 declared that the "character of judges would deteriorate to that of trimmers and time servers, and independent judicial action would be a thing of the past,"—if the recall were allowed. This would seem to be purely a theroretical opinion, based upon nothing that experience has shown to be true. If there is any value in the arguments against the recall of judges, let it be remembered that conservative legal opinion has always used precisely these arguments against the election of judges by popular vote and for fixed terms. The very idea of electing a judge is shocking to the conservative mind. Lawyers of Mr. Taft's way of thinking have always and everywhere believed in the appointment of judges for life. But this requires more confidence in the officials who would have to exercise the appointing power than is generally felt by plain people. The only safety for a judge is to do his duty intelligently and in a judicial spirit. It is not good judges who will ever be in the least afraid that some of their fellow citizens might try at at some time to have them recalled. There is no place in the United States where it would be possible to break down a really high class judge by getting his neighbors and fellow citizens to vote him out of office because they did not like his decision in a particular case.—From "The Progress of the World," in the American Reviews for September. NOTES OF INTEREST FROM HOWARD UNIVERSITY. EN COURAGING OUTLOOK FOR THE YEAR. EXTENSIVE IMPROVEMENT. Howard University has entered on its "Electric Age." The new One Hundred Thousand Dollar steam and electric light plant built for Howard University and Freedmen's Hospital is completed. All the buildings and the grounds of the University are now equipped with electric lights and the machinery of the Industrial and Applied Science Buildings will be run by electricity from the local plant. Dean Miller reports a prospective entering Freshman Class of 150 which is two and one half times as large as the entire College Department five years ago at the beginning of President Thirkield's administration. The Teachers' College will break previous records, and the outlook in all departments is unprecedented. Extensive repairs and improvements are being made in Clark Hall for young men. The shower baths have been refitted, new toilets placed on each floor, new chiffoniers, shades, etc., placed in each room. The demand for rooms is far beyond the supply. A new dormitory is in prose pect for next year. Miner Hall has been much improved. The Assembly Rqom for young women has been enlarged to seat 200 or more. The Dining Hall has been enlarged,a new refrigerator put in, electric irons.put in the laundry, etc. Secretary Cook's earnest work during the summer is shown in the new cement walks and extensive improvements about the campus. The new Hall of Applied Sciences and Industrial Arts is completed. It is fire proof even to the roof and conforms architecturally to the new Carnegie Library. Extensive improvements are being made in the hall of the School of Medicine with new toilets, porches, etc. About Ten Thousand Dollars will be expended in enlarged equipment. Dr. Pezavia O'Connell who succeeds Dr. Ewell as Professor of Church History and Exegesis, has spent the last semester at Chicago University. He will deliver the opening address on the first day of the School of Theology. His formal inaugural will occur later. A number of additions to the faculty have been made to meet the growing demands of the School of Liberal Arts and other departments on the hill. All departments of the University open on September 27th. B. & O. MAN PROMOTED. Charles Selden, Superintendent of Telegraph of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, has been advanced to the position of General Inspector of Transportation by General Manager Thompson, Mr. Selden will continue in the discharge of the duties of Superintendent of Telegraph. His advancement to General Inspector of Transportation is a recognition of many years of competent service. As General Inspector of Transportation Mr. Selden will be Chairman of the committee on operating rules of the Baltimore and Ohio System. He will inspect train dispatching on the road, examine the work of the dispatchers on all divisions and have general supervision of transportation of trains. Mr. Selden is a former president of the Association of Railway Telegraph Superintendents. He is an authority on train dispatching and is Chairman of the eastern division of the Association of Railway Telegraph Superintendents. At the annual convention of the American Train Dispatchers Association, held in Baltimore recently, Mr. Selden was elected an honorary member. Mr. Selden entered railway service as a telegraph operator in 1866. Prior to his service with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad he was Superintendent of Telegraph of the Wabash Railway at St. Louis. A man who has made a happy home for his wife and children, no matter what he has not done in the way of achieving wealth and honor; if he has done that he is a grand success. If he has not done that, and it is his own fault, though he be the highest in the land, he is a most pitiable failure. We wonder how many men in a mad pursuit of gold, which characterizes the age, realize that there is no fortune which can be left to their families as great as the memory of a happy home.—Ceredo, (W. Va.) Advance. Notes. There has always been a little bile in the commissariat of the average American, and he has always been able to work it off at some time and in some form or other. A book published in 1870 (recently discovered by my good friend Arthur Schomburg, Erq., entitled "The Prospects Before Us," written by a Scotchman who did not fear to speak the truth, reveals the fact that the relations between the two races at and prior to the period when it was published were much more cordial and harmonious than they now are. Perhaps the fact that Negroes were soldiers in the Revolutionary army and fought well to preserve your precious heritage may have had something to do with the healthy public sentiment then favorable to his hopes and aims. Of this book a newspaper of that time called the Echo, made the following comment. The Prospect Before Us, a book published by this vile Scotchman, who, let it be remembered was convicted by a Va., jury. It is said that the insurrection planned by the Negroes at Richmond this fall was occasioned by the handbills which this culprit uttered from his prison. His apology in the newspapers, was, that he published his handbills to forward Mr. Jefferson's election. This may be called Launching on the Black S. of Liberty. This Scotchman's name was, I believe Callender, and he was put in jail because he wrote and published verses which put bad notions and a desire for freedom and equality into the heads of Negro slaves who could read. From his prison cell he sent forth the following snappy lines which stirred up the bile in the stomachs of Southern planters some what; "Let Callender in Jail remain Ripe for the halter and the chain; His horizon contracts apace: His prospects circumscribed by CHASE- Ne'er may it lengthen to his sight Till parched upon the ladder's height, While round as far as eye can reach. The crowd admire his dying speech, Proceed great State—thy arts renew With double zeal thy course pursue Call on thy sister states t' obey And boldly grasp at sovereign sway— Then pause—remember ere too late, The tale of St. Domingo's fate Though GABRIEL dies a host remain Oppressed with slavery's galling chain And sorrow late the hour will come, Marked with Virginia's dreadful doom. Gabriel here referred to was the Negro who started the first slave Insurrection in Virginia several years ahead of Nat Turner's. The following description of the celebrated Equality bill given to the Negroes of Boston, Massachusetts, by Governor John Hancock the first signer of the immoral Declaration of Independence was published in the American Mercury 1793. And lo! where o'er the eastern shores, Bostonia lifts her haughty towers! What motley scenes salute our eyes! What wonders upon wonders rise, There each succeeding day still brings A mixture strange of various things. Their plays their heathen names forsake, And those of moral lectures take While thus baptised they hope to win Indulgence for all future sin Now Hancock fires with patriotic rage Proscribes these morals of the stage. Claps Harper under civil durance For having dared with vile apurrance By interludes and plays profane Press. Now, prompt to assert the rights of man On nature's most extensive plan, Behold him to his splendid Hall The Noble souls of Africa call: While as the sable bands advance With frolic mien and sportive dance Refreshing clouds of rich perfume Are wafted o'er the spacious room With keen delight the sage surveys Their graceful tricks and winning ways; Their tones enchanting raptured leave More sweet than music of the spheres And as he breathes the fragrant airs He deems that, Freedom's self-brillish With pleasure glistening in his eyes Ah Maesa Gubberner he cries Me grad to see you, for de people say You lub de neegur better dan de play!

These shall amuse us in the daily papers And Johnny Hancock give us Negro capers. To Hancock glorious at his Negro ball The green woods politicisms met To hew the timber of the state There printer Hoswell, Col. Fay The treaty damned—and Mr. Jay Till Prince Equality's dark son Grew weary of their wit and fun And seizing Hoswell by the cheek, He cried out Bruror let me peak You tear my libber from my maw Plague take a man, all ober jaw. This incident as related is stated to have occurred at Bonnington at the time of the discussion of the merits of the Treaty. The conduct of Prince upon this occasion is a striking proof of that happy consciousness of the dignity of his nature which ever distinguish men when emancipated from the shuckles of restraint. These verses were written by various wits and critics of the time who did not share John Hancock's liberal views on the question of equality and were meant to express their dissent from his action in putting the Negro on equality with white men. At his Equality ball he mingled freely with his colored guests and danced with the colored ladies. It may be that John Hancock had a great deal to do with the drafting of the preamble to the Declaration of Independence, which then as now comprehends among all men, &c., men of Negro blood as among those entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. John Hancock it appears while an aristocrat—was no snob. It is interesting to know that at that remote period the Negro race had so powerful a friend at Court as He of whom it is said: He wrote his name where all ages may behold it And all time cannot efface it.

A poor man with a large family learning that a friend had drawn a prize in a lottery, exclaimed previsibly, "God sends meat to others, but children to me." It afterwards happened that the Being against whom he hed so impiously murmured, sent him those riches he so eagerly wished for, but also deprived him of his children. He keenly felt this loss, while, at the same time, his conscience snote him for his former rebellious murmuring against God. "Be not deceived, God is not mocked."

It's like the story of King Edward's pigs: At Sandringham, King Edward raised prize swine, prize bullocks, and all manner of fancy live stocks. There was a fashionable West End butcher, who bought all the King's fat swine each year at a simply enormous price, and a reporter said to this butcher one day: "How can you afford to pay such prices for the royal swine?" "Well you see," said the butcher, with a wink of the eye. "The King's pigs have such a lot of legs, and of course, I get plenty of hams. CHEAP LIVING. Ella—'I'm living on brown bread and water.'

Pay for all advertisements is due in advance unless advertising is run by yearly contract, in which case the advertiser pays every three months. J. R. Clifford, Editor & Proprietor Drawe: 869, and 831 Phone, 60K Martinsburg, W. Va. SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 9 21 What a terrible blot on depenency is the rushing on the stage of women of the alloged type of Beunah Binford, who is in New York for that purpose. Our friend Trotter must have a bad understanding, for he got our fixed purpose to be president wrong, and following that, he tells the country that the next meeting place is tentatively to be held in West Virginia. Wrong again. Nothing "tenacious" about it, for there was a heated content lasting more than an hour and Harper's Ferry won overwhelmingly, and there is where our next meeting place will be. 1. 2. 3. 4. The National Independent Political League's convention held in Boston, recently, accomplished wonders. Never witnessed a more enthusiastic gathering of men and women and never saw a public more aroused and enthused. Much good was done, and its finality for the betterment of mankind is unknown. All that is necessary is to trim our tree of liberty of its dead and dying limbs, and grat to it the best we can get. 2. As president of the National Independent Political League, owing to the confusion of beliefs and assertions, it appears next to necessary to say that it does not stand for democracy. It stands on manhood rights, and believes that independence is the right spirit, and to stand aloof from all parties is the thing to do.—helping the one that can and will unite with us for every right an American citizen is entitled to—at least that's the way it will be run while J. R. Clifford is its president. The causal remarks of Mrs. Cravath Simpson Tuesday last in Boston, about President Taft, have been severely criticised, and blamed on the National Independent Political League. We have no apology to offer, from the fact the League had nothing whatever to do with that meeting. It was done by Mrs. Simpson, at a lecture given by Bishop Walters, presided over by Rev. Dr. Shaw of Boston, pastor of the New Twelfth Baptist Church where our sessions were held. It is a matter for Mrs. Simpson and Mr. Taft to settle if they want, otherwise, otherwise. 2. Friend Trotter, tote fair. I did not go to Boston "an evowed candidate" for the presidency of the league. On the contrary, soon as I took Bishop Walters's place, I was reliably told that "Trotter wants the presidency next time," and the same was the talk in Boston. I can prove that I wanted to resign and would have done so, had not my friends forced me to stand the test, and when that came, notwithstanding the "32" Boston men and women who by simply paying a dollar at the close of Bishop Walters's lecture, when our league was not in session, and were made voting members, which I would not do in West Vt. Mr. Trotter was defended by three votes. Take your medicine like a a man, as I would have done—you're too big a man to play the baby act. Mr. S. L. Corrothers of Washington, D. C., told the many delegates in Boston that "Clifford is a coward; that he is too cowardly to hold public meetings in West Virginia, and that a man's life is in danger in this state, and that once when he get up a meeting for me to speak in Charles Town, the people put out the lights and run us out," &c. Not a word of it true. A colored man has as much rights in West Virginia as he has in Washington, and in many instances in Boston. I did get the court house for him to speak and went to Harper's Ferry to meet him, but failing to come, hired a team and got a man to bring him up when he got there. Going to Charles Town, the court house was lighted, and at 5 p.m. a fine crowd of people white and colored was therein assembled and waited for one hour and thirty five minutes, when in came Corrothers. He was introduced and made 2 regious, blundere—telling a vulgar bull story and making a rant on one democratic speech, both of which caused many to leave. I rose, asked the people to remain and assured them that the purpose of the meeting was not to espouse democracy, but to denounce the Brownville affair. I had nine other places for him to speak, but in the morning he said he had to go back to Washington to bury some one and never showed up to fill the other places that had been billed. I have held meetings all over this state; I have been jailed for my defense of my client and soon as I got out took my client out of jail where he had been violently put while I was incarcerated and sent him home; have been knocked down three times with deadly weights in a court room in this city; had my wounds dressed, changed my bloody clothes, went back and fought out the case. I took my bloody shirt and with my "kike", conversed this county and spoke in the band stand in the public square the day before the election for an hour and twenty minutes, waving my bloody shirt, and the next day the man who assaulted me for panicking the first colored jury in this state, was defeated by over 1300 votes. When I lost fell my foe sprang on me and everyone except Piizer and Clifford had left the court room, and when I got on top of my antagonist Stephen Elam, a colored man ran in and pulled me off of him. I took up the discrimination at Storer College and fought it out single handed to a glorious victory. After being put in jail as stated above, I went to the Department of Justice in Washington, filed charges against T. T. Lemeo, United States Commissioners and W. D. Brown, United States Marshal, proved my charges and had both put out of office, and could go on and tell episode upon episode, but why say more for no one who knows me will lay cowardice at my door. Possibly there is not another living Negro now has braved more outrageous wrongs and won more victories than the man Corrothers called a coward—you could not get that truthful?）gentry to go through one third what I have. --- What a fearful thing for Americans to set a wide-spread example of lynching and burning their own citizens before the non-English speaking foreigners to put in practice on their own when crimes are committed and finally carry it out on Americans. An example of it in Philadelphia this week is in evidence. More than 800 non-English speaking Italians tried to and would have lynched one of their countrymen, but for the Horculoum efforts of policemen, shouting vociferously in broken English the Coatesville infamy as their right to do it. Where will it end? God only knows. If our courts will not do their sworn duty, or confess they are powerless, then let the decent lawabiding people know it so they can prepare to meet the black crime of crimes and put it to sleep forever, for there are more goodly inclined law abiding people fifty to one, in this country than there are murderous rowdies. ```markdown ``` 4 2 5 (1) Agricultural College on Wheels—(2) Demonstration of Home Mixed Fertilizers—(3) Grading and Pauling of Peaches in Georgia Currencies. Talk about trusts grinding the poor to death is folly as a whole, for they are only a small part of the whole. The truth of it is that every person who is trying to live by speculation is, whenever he gets a chance a human vampire. To illustrate: Last year when peaches were plentiful the poor and hard working people got all they wanted of the "thirds" for 40 and 50 cents per bushel, but this year when only half a crop is grown they are asking and getting $2 50 a bushel, and three peaches are sent from home. An orcadist told us, we have to do that to make this half crop equal last year's crop. All we hope is that every body who has a lot will plant enough of fruit trees to have what they need. HOW TO LEARN TO SWIM It is really very easy and simple to learn to swim. Just a little will power, a short period of application, and the thing is done. And once a swimmer, always a swimmer; one never forgets. Fear and lack of confidence are the great stumbling blocks in the path of the beginner. Once these are overcome, it is all plain calling. I believe that the first thing for the would be swimmer to do is to get rid of the feeling of (1) Agricultural College on Wheels—Fertilizers—(3) Grading and Packing The above illustrations show the equipment of the Special Horticultural Train operated by the College of Agriculture, West Virginia University and the Industrial Department of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, through the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia, August 7 to 12. The main object of the train was to demonstrate the best methods of packing peaches and apples, while features on nifalfa and demonstrations of how to mix fertilizers interested the general farmer as well as the fruit grower. The train was the most thoroughly equipped which has ever been operated in West Virginia, and was the first ever sent through any eastern state to demonstrate fruit packing. In one car was a standard sorting table, where peaches were sorted and packed in 6-basket Georgia carriers by an expert packer, while a discussion of the best methods of packing and marketing was given by J. H. Beird, the superintendent of the famous Hale Orchard Co. at Fort Valley, Georgia. In another car the boxing of apples was demonstrated by an expert packer from Oregon, who put up the fruit exactly as it is done in the northwest, with the same equipment as regards table, press, boxes, etc., while a discussion of the morals of the box-pack for fancy eastern app --- dread that so many, and particularly women experience at the start. This feeling should be fought for it is senseless. It is an excellent practice to stand in shallow water and get need to the sensation of itjaplaining about the mouth and eyes by docking the head beneath the surface and trying to look about under the water. Don't be afraid of getting your hair wet, it will dry even, and after you have acquired confidence it is child's play to learn the supporting and propelling movements. Just bear constantly in mind in learning that the body floats naturally, unaffected, and that people do not drown because they sink, but because their frenzied struggles forced their months under water where they cannot breathe, and they asphyxiate.

S. Wilson, of the New York State College of Agriculture, at Cornell University, and barrel packing was discussed by Prof. Wm. H. Alderman, Horticulturist of West Virginia University. In the baggage car, Prof. I. S. Cook, Agronomist of West Virginia University, showed the farmers how simple it was to mix their own fertilizers at home, and figured out on a blackboard the saving they could make by so doing. In a fourth car Mr. Willis Wing, of Mechanicsburg, O., a well-known authority and large grower of alfaifa, discussed alfaifa and sofa beans. The Baltimore & Ohio furnished a private car for the comfort of the workers, so that they were able to live comfortably on the train during the entire trip. The train was under the management of E. D. Sanderson, Dean of the College of Agriculture at Morgantown, and Mr. W. W. Wood, Industrial Agent of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, who was assisted by Mr. C. W. Allen, Traveling Passenger Agent, and other B. & O. officials of the divisions traversed. The College of Agriculture is following up packing demonstrations given on this train by sending the expert packers into the orchards to train the packers just how to grade and pack the fruit.
