Negroes And The Socialists Mr. Unterman, a prominent socialist in a speech at the Chicago Convention of the Socialist party in opposing the admission of Asiatics to membership and fellowship with Socialists in this country, among other things, had this to say concerning the Negro, according to an article in the current issue of The Independent, from the pen of Wm. English Walling. I quote: The question is absolutely imminent in the United States, (i.e. the question of exclusion of alien races) on the Western slope. Vast masses of that section are already occupied by the Chinese and Japanese, and wherever they get control they shove out the white man, and when they have crowded us out they will reward us for our sentimental attitude, by giving us the kick which we deserve. The same with the Negroes in the South. Wherever the Negroes get control they stand aloof from the white men and will not work with them. In other words there is a race feeling there that is so strong that the two races do not want to work together. They are not willing to work together and while we stand for international solidarity and for rigid solidarity we should be false to our Socialist agitation if we insisted first on doing away with the race prejudice. Again: If it ever should come to the question of whether I should have employment or the immigrants of any other race, I desire to tell you that so long as there are American Labor Unions and so long as there is an American Socialist party I am going to see to it that we shall have our jobs in order to live." All of which means that the Fatherhood of God, the brotherhood of man, the leadership of Jesus, salvation by character, the progress of mankind, onward and upward forever is really not the creed of the American Socialist party according to Mr. Unterman. There is a considerable number of Negroes in the ranks of the Socialist party, but they do not appear to realize that the white men who control in that party are building for the future of white men—not Asiatics nor blacks. If the accessions from the ranks of the Negroes continues it will constitute a problem as grave as that considered by the Chicago Convention which saw through the vista, the "Yellow Peril" and the danger to white supremacy which it portends. How can the Negro Socialist escape the same fate which will surely be meted out to the slant eyed Oriental; the sun kissed Arab, and other dark skinned brethren, who yearn for social and economic equality and larger freedom for their wings? The Socialist party, like the white Christian(?) church, is I fear a delusion, and a snare to the feet, of the gullible and over confident black man. The American Negro has, I fear, little to hope for from the white race in the future. His progress along educational lines has been too rapid for a great many thoughtful and observant whites who while professing to feel an interest in his development and uplift educationally see in it all, the same danger to the white race ESTABISHED 1882. that our Socialist brothren are in a too general mingling on equal terms with the Japanese, and Chinese and other alien races. Though the Negro is indigenous to the soil he is different from the white man in color, and is, and ever will be regarded as alien to him, no matter how profusely or how unctuously he may call us brother. The "rubicon" that we cannot cross, will be made more and more impossible to the ambitious and aspiring Negroes who permit themselves to be carried away by fair promises and honeyed words. One of the most insincere races on God's green earth, is the Auglo Saxon race. And it is quite time for the Negro to wake up, and look about him, to husband his strength, to unite his forces, and to get together for there is certainly going to be some work for us to do in the years ahead of us. Those who believe that we are going to be redeemed and regenerated as a race with the active aid, and cooperation of the white race, do not clearly understand that race, do not see with clear vision the end from beginning. The white men who believe in justice, in fair play and a "aquare deal" for the Negro, are in a hopeless minority today in this country. The American pulpit no longer pleads the cause of the Negro; it isn't popular nor fashionable nor politic to do so. When the man of our race was ignorant, it was the chief spokesman, the unflinching champion, the fearless defender of our rights. But no christian clergyman now thinks of calling attention of his congregation to the wrongs and injustices, the iniquities which the Negro now suffers. The cause is plain. The Negro is advancing in material possessions and mental power. He is ambitious and aspiries to take his place in the social progression, and here's the rub. Our white brother sees in this advancement of the Negro a danger to his own race—(a perfectly natural feeling) and he is honestly not anxious to help along in the advancement of a race alien to his own. He won't say so outright but he acts it. Deep down in his heart he feels it, and only because he has gone on record in the past by causing the enactment of laws for our protection, (which do not protect us), he would be still more apathetic, and indifferent to our interests. If he was now called upon to do these things over again, I very much doubt whether they would be done. The XIII, XIV and XVth Amendments would have no more chance of being incorporated into the Federal Constitution than the ablest Negro on earth would have of becoming President of the United States or a member of the Cabinet, in the present state of public sentiment, as it regards the Negro. As soon as there are 100,000,000 white men in this country, the Negro is going to experience a change of heart regarding the attitude of that race toward his race and then will begin the period of dissillusionment and the struggle for closer union of all the scattered forces now seeking the light, by running away from it and trying to find a solution of the problem in sectional organizations. The hope of the Negro race is to be found according to my view of the situation in a strong intelligently directed National Organization. To this complexion white prejudice, and oppression, double dealing and de- TAFT MAY QUIT THISWEEK;KNOWS T. R. WILL WIN TAFT MAY QUIT THISWEEK;KNOWS T. R. WILL WIN Managers of Administration Campaign in a Panic, Which Has Become a Rush to the Roosevelt"Band Wagon." REPUBLICANS IN LINE THROUGHOUT NATION. Overwhelming Majorities in Illinois and Pennsylvania Show Drift—Taft Welcome to His Two Lorimer Men. New York. The present indication in the political race for the Republican nomination at the Chicago convention ceit, will ultimately force it. Day by day, the lines of cleavage are drawn closer and closer, and the Negro laughs, is apparently happy and contented, all unmindful of the fact that his opponent in the great game of chess, at which he is playing is one of the cleverest experts that ever moved a fawn. The game is in progress in Africa, the West Indies, and America, and if the Negro doesn't look out the white champion will score and score hard. I have been thinking recently that it would be a splendid thing if the Negroes of this country in combination with Negroes in other countries would establish a travel fund, for the use and benefit of young men and women of the race who have graduated from the Schools and Colleges of America and Europe. There are many really brilliant men and women among us, who could do the race a great deal of good by travel and study of conditions in other countries. All that we know about Africa has been written by white men, and women for the most part, and the best part has never been written and can never be written except by the educated Negro. For the white man carries his prejudices with him wherever he goes. There really ought to be some way devised to raise a fund of $50 000 or $100,-000 to send two or three able Negro men and women abroad every year or two to study the peoples with whom we are more closely identified racially than we are with the "Anglo Saxon." Japan, India, China, Africa, the West Indies and the old world are splendid fields. I take it for this work and there are dozens of men and women among us who are as well qualified to take it up as men and women of any other race. This touching of elbows by the black men of the Occident with the brown and yellow men of the Orient and the black men of Africa and the West Indies will bring about a better understanding between the people of the darker races throughout the world, and tend to heighten respect for the American Negro. I think the scheme is worth trying for these VOL. 31. Those who play at the game of chess know what greatcircumspection is needed. Your opponent is working toward a design of which you know nothing, and while you imagine that you are doing exceedingly well, he is really entrapping you. Professor Starr of the University of Chicago, a student, described a wonderful native boy whom he met in his African travel. "This boy," said he, "often saw me reading, which interested and perplexed him. One day, through an interpreter, he asked me about it." "Sir," said he, "I have often seen von reading. Now this is one thing I want to know—which part is it you read—the black or the white." A Western bookseller wrote to a house in Chicago for a dozen copies of Farrar's "Booker of God" to be shipped to him at once. Within two days he received the reply by telegraph. in June is that President Tuft is expected to withdraw from the contest this week. It is quite evident that the managers of the administration campaign are in a panic, and the efforts of the senators and congressmen who have been fighting for Mr. Tuft to get "on the band wagon" are interesting, for they realize now, as they have not realized before, that Mr. Tuft cannot secure the nomination. The results from those states where the people have had an opportunity to express their choice by presidential preference primaries show that should Mr. Tuft receive the nomination his dofent would be inevitable. In Illinois the progressive movement showed its popularity with the people by the overwhelming majority of 133,000 votes in favor of Colonel Roosevelt. The entire state delegation to the Chicago convention will be solid for the colonel, with the exception of the two delegates from Senator Lortimor's district, a fact significant in itself. In Pennsylvania the people voted as they shouted, and when the balloons were counted it was found that the Taft forces had been routed by nearly 260,000 votes and it was found that the machine politicians, the professional politicians like Penrose, Governor Tener and Oliver, were buried in the debris to such an extent that they cannot be extricated in time to be allowed in the convention hall at Chicago or to have any voice in the proceedings. Mr. John Wawanaker, the merchant, and Mr. Stotesbury, the Wall street magnate, are two of the six Taft delegates from Pennsylvania who will be able to get into the convention. The situation in the west is the same. In Oregon and Nebraska, where Senator La Follette, with his progressive ideas, was a strong factor, the people showed that they preferred the progressive ideas of Colonel Roosevelt by giving him a majority in Oregon of over 7,000 votes and over 30,000 votes in Nebraska, and the delegates in these and other western states who are now for Senator La Follette will at the Chicago convention on the second ballot cast their votes for the colonel. In Wisconsin and North Dakota the people have emphatically rebelled against the Taft candidacy. Already the southern delegates are beginning to break away from the Taft camp. The machine roller methods, based on federal patronage, had for a time kept the southern states in some sort of line, but even they are now beginning to wake up to the fact that it is useless to hang on to a losing proposition any longer and are willing and eager to cast their lot with Colonel Roosevelt. Six of the South Carolina "Tuft" delegates have wired Senator Dixon to the effect that they are delegates at large from that state to the Republican national convention, having been instructed for Mr. Taft at the state convention, held in 20, at which time Colonel Roosevelt was not a candidate, and that it did not appear that Mr. Taft could now be elected. Since the colonel has entered the field, however, it is evident that he is the choice of the great mass of Republican voters in the states that elect Republican nominees and that they had reached the conclusion that it was their duty to the party and the country demanded that they should vote for Colonel Roosevelt, and they stated they would so vote. In the east Maine is solid for Colonel Roosevelt, and, while the Vermont delegation is now divided, there no doubt but that this state will cast a solid vote for Colonel Roosevelt at the convention in June. The indications are that a great surprise is in store for the managers of the Taft campaign when the results in Massachusetts have been tabulated. Colonel Roosevelt's position is growing stronger and stronger each day, and President Taft is becoming weaker and weaker in the fight, and by the time set for the national convention it will have been that the voices of the plain people have been raised so loudly for the nomination of Colonel Roosevelt and the sentiment so strong for him that it will not be well for the welfare of the Republican party to ignore the emphatically expressed wishes of the people. and many other reasons which it is not necessary at this time to advance, Yonkers, N.

You can hardly make a move, either forward or backward, but he is ready to attack you and, by every act, force you into a movement of temptation and sin. The Game of Life, as against Satan, is one to which his age, his long practice, his superior skill, and his unscrupulousness, give him an immense advantage over our self-conceived folly. Don't play with the devil. STOPPED BY GOLD. Said a gentleman to a dentist; "I suppose you have many prominent men for patients."

SATURDAY, MAY 25th., 1912 Guees Mr. William Howard Taft will go away back and sit down now. Human rights are fundamental and paramount to all other rights. Mingo Senders has hurt himself for life. Pity he was fooled into working for Mr. Taft. After March 4th 1913, it will be Mr. Wm H. Taft, and he will have more time then to play golf. One of our strong writers, says: "The Negro has 1 fear little to hope for." That's true, but he has a great deal to fight for. Will he do it? The electrocution of C. V. T. Richeon at Boston Mass., for poisoning Miss Avis Lingell, should be a lesson to all criminally inolined persons. We heartily commend Hon. T. T. McDougall, the able editor of the Ceredo Advance, as a State Senatorial candidate of Wayne County. Senator Foraker must feel happy as he can be or could be. And it looks like Senator Joseph Benson Foraker may go back to the United States Senate—for he is not dead and neither is Ohio—glorious pair. West Virginians seemed too greedy for political national convention glory to even think long enough of the contention of the State Librarian for a colored delegate, to even give an alternate. We waunted two or three. The rest may do as they please—buzzard is vomiting to na. The General conference of Negroes in session at Kansas City, had a row and policemen were called in to settle it, while the Caucasian's General Conference at Minneapolis has reoched the "bissing" point poor signs by the big fellows for we pee wees. The Chronicle of Chicago Illinois, did the wise and proper thing in its last issue in showing up Booker T. Washington's fallacy in amusing his crowds by always telling some "nigger" tale. Since he belittled himself—if that can be done—in the Negro General Conference, we suggest that he Ulrichizes the pale face's General conference now in session at Minneapolis. If the decent colored voters reelect John Noel as State Committeeman, it will be evidence of the best, that relative to freedom's rights, they have gone backward instead of forward. Keep in mind, that when his white political master of Charleston named him in Wheeling, he said: "I have a good nigger," &c., for committeeman, at large, and John Noel showed his teeth by grinning and was elected. Do you want him again? No, and no again. Hon. J. M. Wood got all the votes of Jefferson County for Judge last Saturday. Not a vote was thrown away. Now and then some one writes a long rigmarole on what constitutes oratory and as a rule it is nonsense. Oratory's secret and power lie alone in truth, soul-thought and earnestness. Editor John C, Gilmer's advocacy of Dixon's "good nigger," John Noel, after telling the world of his ignorance and debauchery a few years ago reminds us of a dog returning to its vomit. Ditch digging in earnest by Mr. Taft for years has been in order against the Negro—America's best friend—and how much we thank God for the fulfillment of—whose ever diggeth a ditch for another, shall fail therein—Taft to illustrate: God alone knows, and again, we thank Him for making it plain to even those who run and read. Any Negro or class of Negroes who will join in with the present day fees to Ben. Butler, are fools and a curse to the race. Although a democrat, by his contraband order, freedom was made a reality before the emancipation took place, and as he once rode over a bloody battlefield where thousands of dead black heroes lay with faces upturned in mute silence to heaven and his black charger stepped over them without stepping on one, he extended his hands to God and pledged everlasting love and devotion to the Negro race and its cause, and died keeping that pledge. Burn these truthes into your memories, and be true men. The editor of the Pioneer Press is what the world by prejudice's philosophy calls a black man, of which he is as proud as any white man is for ekulking in the shade when duty called him under the burning rays of the sun to be a man and he refused. Likewise the editor is an honest Republican and has always been, but when he knows his color was changed by force of duty to this world, and that his color was fixed before he was a Republican, his duty is to fight and die for his color's rights, which he will do to the end of his life. As dogs licked the sores of Lazarus, so did Mingo Sanders the hands of Mr. Taft, who not only recommended his dismissal, but said after it was done, the punishment was not enough. Then when scared because signs pointed to his defeat in Ohio, had Mingo Sanders brought into that State to lambaste Roosevelt. Gaul? The bitterest! But Teddy punctured his scheme, for when he charged him with discharging those Negro soldiers, he replied by saying; he was my Secretary of War, and recommended it; and then said, if Mr. Taft believed I had done them wrong, why did he not reinstate them? He has been President three years and had the right to do it. Now, after using poor old Sergeant Mingo Sanders to save himself in Ohio, if he fails to reinstate him soon as he reschea Washington, he will go down in history the meanest of Presidents. Let us suppose that all Negroes of America are slaves and have been for centuries, and that John Brown died trying to free them, Lovejoy was murdered for the same, as was Sumner murderously assaulted in the United States Senate, and Garrison dragged through the streets of Boston, would you not be happy? Look on this picture now and be believe that God does nothing by halves and be happier, for, sure as you live, more, or as much will come out of the coming election for the good of the Negroes and the poor whites, as came to them through Lincoln's contest and election, God and justice are for us. Lot us be men—that's all. The Probationer Is it true that the Pioneer Press has or is about to make an application for membership of the the republican party? Well the boys ought to allow the P.P. to come back after keeping it on probation say one year. Big pardon. The Pioneer Press has done great deeds and is capable of doing more great deeds; therefore reduce the probabilities to one month from May the 4th,—Huntington, W. Va. Register. The above is from that political bastard born few weeks ago for funds. Its conception was in wickedness, its nourishment corruption and its birth rotten. The editor of the Pioneer Press is an old civil war veteran and has suffered hell for just such lackies. For emancipating the first Negro jury that ever served in this state he was knocked down three times with deadly weights. His defense and unceasing devotion for his clients rights caused him to go to jail, and because, and only because he has not and will not allow white men to be his political bosses, he was, for making a congressman, against the will of our United States Fien Commissioner—by him—read out of the party which was saved by our aid on many bloody battle fields before he was born. But why say more to the source referred to, for it he always been our custom to have nothing to do with and easy as far from a certain little bushy tail animal as possible. His Sterling Character and Citizenship Are Justly Extolled SPLENDID INDIVIDUAL WANUOOD A Glowing Tribute to a Manly Man By Ex-Governor Wm. A. MacCorkle, Acting For His Senatorial Colleagues. Mr. President, and Gentlemen of the Senate: In this wonderful country of ours there is one thing which surely betokens the eternity of our institutions. That is, sir, amidst the strenuosity of our political life we can touch one another in that personal contact which brings men together along the lines of high personality, splendid character and kindliness of feeling one to the other. This characteristic of our government is the one great predominant feature of American life. This marks the difference between the democracies, the old free governments of Rome, Athens and Italy, and the republican government of our country. This characteristic which allows us, amidst the conflict of political life, amidst the absolute contrariety of opinion, to see in our opponents high character, pure patriotism and kindly personal traits is the great feature which will preserve this republican government as the chiefest and best heritage which has ever fallen to man. It is pleasant, sir, to understand that amidst the marvels and wonders of earth and mountain, grander and more splendid' than our wealth of valley, higher and better than all of the wealth which flows from the bosom of our state, there is something superior to all, and that is, the high and splendid character of our citizenship. I repeat, sir, it is absolutely essential to the preservation of republican institutions. The great governments of other days have looked too often to the concrete idea of great wealth and the magnificence of material power. The American government is founded upon the one supreme ideal, the character of its manhood. It is a great, a splendid manhood. It is a more essential element in the preservation of free government than all the wealth of Golconda, all the oil which flows from the bosom of our rich state, and all the diamonds which glisten on the African mountains or Brazilian valleys. Other governments have founded their life upon the elements of material wealth. The hope and life of the American government is upon the splendor of its individual manhood. It gives me pleasure, sir, democrat as I am, to speak these words to you, the leader of the opposition in this senate. These words come not from the lips, and I Believe that represent- ing my party associates on this floor, they come from our hearts. If you will allow me a little touch of the personal element, I wish to say that being chosen by my associates to address you to-day brings more than ordinary pleasure to me. I was your father's friend for a quarter of a century, and in the olden days when I rode the circuit he called me "Mae" and I called him "Billas," and if today my old friend was here and could witness this testimonial to the courage and character, the splendid manhood of his son, the tears of pride would course down his cheeks, and his old heart would throb with conscious pride that his son has arisen to the position where the words of encomium of his fellow members in the highest legislative body of his state could be so truthfully spoken. Surely, were he here he would be touched with the fact that amidst the contrarieties of political life, his son has arisen to the high position where his character can be honored alike by democrats and republicans. Sir, there is one thing that all of us love—a man of character. He is supreme in our life, and when I think of it my mind goes back to the days of old Rome, and I am reminded that when the Romans came to Cornelia and said, "Oh, Cornelia, give us your jewels." Holding her sons out in front of her she said, "These, oh, Romans, are my jewels." And so here, to-day, we of West Virginia, present to the world the highest and best product of our institutions—a manly man. We on this side, and, I believe, those on the other side, can say that above the temptations of political desire, above the strenuous feelings evoked by this most exciting session, that in the high position you occupy, the second highest position in the gift of the state, that you have been fair, honest, capable and courteous, and if there is any one in this senate who can complain of any unfair treatment or ruling or discourteous act which you have committed in these days in which you have presided over this senate, I have never heard a reference to it. I do not believe that any one feels that you have been otherwise than the mainly man, the dignified presiding officer and the courteous gentleman in everything which you have done and said in this session. I do not know, in any somewhat long experience in these matters, where a presiding officer has had a more trying experience than have you in this session. A senate evenly divided, differing in thought and opinion, naturally on the one side expecting things which they should not have and on the other side anticipating action which, submitted to cold, calm reason, could not be permitted. I know of no one better than yourself who could have fulfilled the duties of honestly and fairly presiding between these evenly balanced powers. And now, Mr. President, as a token of the high regard in which you are held by the members of this senate, republican and democrat, I am asked by them to present to you this silver salver, and, if you will allow me to say, sir, it is a very beautiful one. It is composed of solid silver. From the very beginning of time, when men loved each other, the highest testimonial they could give of their love and affection was solid silver and gold, which was emblematic of the purity of spirit of those who gave and typical of honesty of the one to whom it was given. Allow me to present to you this beautiful salver as a token of this esteem, and with it the heartfelt hope that it will always be filled with the good things of this life, and that you will send it down to your children's children as a testimonial of how men regarded their father who presided over the senate of West Virginia in the year of nineteen hundred and eleven. I present it, sir, not with the ordinary formalities and lip service, but with the heartfelt kindness and the universal respect of the twenty-nine men who esteem and honor you, and who wish you that happiness and success which your character, your ability and your kindness of heart and your courtesy so highly deserves.

She was a citizen of Shepherdstown for many years, but lived in Charlestown about two years and seven months previous to her death. We feel that Jefferson County has lost one of its best citizens; she was of rare personality, and possessed a high christian character, her pleasant and amiable disposition won her many friends. She was especially esteemed for her proficiency as a good homekeeper and well ordered arrangements. Her consistency as a christian manifested those qualities that make real womanhood and christian integrity. The act of making her home an open door, with such cordial welcome gave all who came a home-like feeling and contentment. It is sad indeed to note her death but the good Lord knows best, notwithstanding our finiteness. Her place as a minister's wife was filled with sympathy, earnestness, a friend to the people, always endeavoring to maintain peace, order, regularity, divine worship and the manifestation of that Christian fellowship that characterizes a true follower of the Savior of mankind. Her life, counsel, prayers in her home inspired the minister with strength and zeal to boldly proclaim the word from the sacred pulpit and to endeavor to be a real pastor. She was passionately fond of the church, several years an ardent leader of the Shepherdstown church choir, likewise in her present church. This deep interest in music for God's church assisted her in rendering her talent as a singer, her trustworthy way and friendly relation to the people embraced their confidence. She was one of the star leaders making the little church in Shepherdstown a representative church. She was a faithful and sympathetic member of the church in Charlestown, an active and zealous worker in the Ladies' Aid. With pleasure, she served as the president of the sewing department. Her last act of hospitality was that of entertaining in her home, that night she went up stairs and never came down alive. That night was the regular manifestation of her amiable qualities with charity toward all and malice toward none. We deplore her departure from this life. In grief and sadness we surrender to the God of Heaven who controls the destiny of mankind, and rewards the faithful. May we meet in the sweet paradise of God amid joy and everlasting splendor; she said she was willing to go and waiting on the Lord. Through her severe illness her trust was in God, and repeated many words of counsel to her devoted husband and others. She leaves her dear husband, sister, nieces and friends to mourn her departure. God forever bless her and help us to meet her in heaven. No doubt it is as the poet says, She diced in beauty as a flower blown from its parent stem, She died in beauty as a pearl dropped from some diadem; She died in beauty like a lay along a moonlit lake. She died in beauty like the song of birds amid the wake. She died in beauty like snow on flowers dissolved away; She died in beauty as a star lost on the brow of day; She lives in glory like night's gems set around the silver moon. She lives in glory like the sun amid the blue of June. amid splendor and everlasting bliss. Paul Bearers. Messrs. Wm. Shorts, Wm. Hanyon, Wm.

Massachusetts Republicans, Not ing Big Roosevelt Wins In West, Deride Standpat- ters Who Insist on Parly Suicide. COLONEL HAILED AS "INDUSTRIAL MOSES." Lawrence Strike Makes Voters Think, Also Stur on Pennsylvania Victory---Bank and File in Victorious Line. Boston. -- Whatever the so called "Taft sentiment" might have been ten days ago, today it is all for Roosevelt. The conservatives in the Republican ranks—educators, lawyers, business men, farmers operatives, the backbone of New England—were the first to hear the note sounded by Illinois and Pennsylvania, then taken up by Nebraska and Oregon, and today rock ribbed New England is in line for the one leader that can lead not alone the party, but all the people, to victory. The "third term" cry is today too weak to echo. It is lost in the same ridicule that meets Congressman Gardiner's unceasiously humorous demand that the colonel meet him in "joint debate." The colonel has shown so strongly as Tiff man, THE leader, that all classes of Republican voters, assured until now that Taft alone could win, turn toward the misinformers and smilingly utter Missouri's unwritten motto. Of the incidental happenings that have kindled Roosevelt sentiment to enthusiasm none has been stronger than the sneering comment of a Boston newspaper that the Roosevelt victory in Pennsylvania was "a triumph for professional reformers and the coal miners." This awakened indignation among the workers, the rank and file of the party, who are always keenest to detect the popular trend. The Pennsylvania workers knew what they wanted and voted accordingly. Those of Massachusetts did likewise on Tuesday, April 20. The Real Progressive. In no state more than in Massachusetts have the silent voters had more striking cause for real deliberation on the presidential issue, and the leading element in this cause has been the spectacular Lawrence strike. Whatever individual circumstances went to make up that calamity, the fact remains that the strike itself proved the existence of an industrial unrest that could mean only one thing—namely, that the people were dissatisfied and demanded and would bring about a change. Would they re-elect President Taft? How could they re-elect him when the demand for a change was so obvious? Would they elect a Democratic president? Perhaps since there must be a change. But when has the election of a Democratic president ever meant anything but industrial disaster? Who, then, was the real progressive, the man of vigor—an initiative and a referendum in himself—the man of deeds, to whom all the people could look for leadership out of an industrial wilderness? The Workingmen Answered. The Massachusetts workingmen asked this question. The candidacy of Theodore Roosevelt answered it immediately. But Massachusetts, one of the oldest of states and perhaps the most conservative, pauses to breathe before it begins to shout, and in the interim its own child, Maine, declared with emphasis for Roosevelt-Maine, in which the need of a strong, magnetic leader was not half so immediate as in Massachusetts. Nor was Massachusetts deaf to the shouts of Illinois and Pennsylvania. In its conservatism perhaps the Bay State was a little surprised at the magnitude of the Roosevelt victories in the west, but they were the spoken reflections of its own opinion rather than arguments for failing into a line of which Massachusetts was already a part. The clamorers alone—the standpatt- ting machine, backed by an almost unanimous party press—did the prema- ture shouting, invoked the dubiously sacred name of "precedent" as argu- ment in favor of party suicide. The sil- ent voters were silent still, wafting for the echo of their own thoughts. They heard it, not from one quarter, but from many, and perhaps no more im- pressively than from the Connecticut convention, in which the name of Thi- was heard in silence, while that of Roosevelt called forth cheers that were more than significant. New England is aroused and is all for Roosevelt. His candidacy stands for national expediency, summarizing any possible question of precedent. Massachusetts Republicans know it, and they will so vote. HOG CHOLERA An Acute Infectious Disease Among Hogs By Dr. C. A. Lueder, Assistant Professor of Veterinary Science, West Virginia University. Hog cholera is an acute infectious disease which, so far as is known, affects only hogs. It is found practically all parts of the world, and is especially prevalent in the large hog districts of the United States. Enormous losses are caused yearly in the hog-raising states of the Middle West, and it may be safely said that in some states the loss amounts to one million dollars every year. At the present time the disease is prevalent in different sections of West Virginia, and if the proper precautions are not taken to stamp out the disease it will gain a foothold that will be hard to overcome. The germ which causes hog cholera is found in the blood and in all excrections of the sick hogs, especially in the urine. This germ is classed as one of the invisible micro-organisms, and, while it is the specific cause of hog cholera, there are many things which may help the disease along; in fact, anything that will lower the health of the hog, as improper feeding, unclean stables, damp or cold beds, dirty feed troughs or pails. Any one of those will help the disease along, but will not actually cause it. The germs are present everywhere in the bodies of the sick hogs, and are thrown off by the millions in the feces, urine and slobber, thus smearing the yards and pens. The worst thing to spread the disease is the sick hog, but any agent that might carry a particle of dirt from the pens or yards may be means of spreading the disease. Sick hogs running on the commons; purchasing new hogs that have been exposed to the disease before the purchase; returning hogs from fairs or stock shows where they have been exposed; hogs shipped by rail coming in contact with contaminated cars, public sheds, yards and along the public highways, may be the means of causing an outbreak of the disease.

All For Roosevelt. Take J 43 The only safe plan is to place all newly-purchased hogs in different lots or pens entirely away from the healthy sheds, and give them their own attendant, separate feed and the use of separate utensils for at least thirty days. After hog cholera has visited a farm, the houses, lots, feeding troughs, utensils and cleaning implements have all become contaminated, and if new hogs are placed in such quarters they will surely contract the disease. This being the case, the quarters should be thoroughly cleaned, all dead hogs be burned or buried deep with lime, all litter, troughs and trenches and by sick hogs should be burned and lime scattered over the prentet. All fifth and litter under the pen should be cleaned out and lime scrape about. The fifth should be disinfected with a solution of cresol, one part to twenty parts of water. The house should be thoroughly whitewash side and out with tween whitewash to one part once using right precautions and thoroughly disinfecting it might be possible to bring new hogs into these pens without any serious results in about three months; but, unless the above precautions are adhered to clean it would not be advisable to return hogs in these pens inside of one year. The symptoms of hok chokon are first noticed when one or two needs refuse to eat and before the owner defies the situation other hosts are attacked, and the disease is spread through the whole herd in a few days. It is characterized by the loss of appetite, high fever, coughing, a brown, colored exudate around the eyes, sometimes constipation, or they may be diarrhea. On examination, the skin there may be purple areas on the surface of the abdomen, on the hide of the legs, and around the ears and neck. If the above symptoms are observed and the disease has spread through the herd in a contagious manner, it is very likely hog cholera of present; but in order to be safe, poor mortem examination must be made. In treating this disease experience shows that medicine is not a cure or even a preventive, in a true sense of the word, but a good emollient powder mixed with the feed will help the tissue in a good many cases. In *Formentum* *Bulletin No. 24, by Dr. D. E. Schmidt,* *is the following formula which was used for many years as a preventive:* *Wood charcoal—1 lb.* *Sulphur—1 lb.* *Sodium chloride—2 lbs.* *Sodium hypo-sulphite—2 lbs.* *Sodium bicarbonate—2 lbs.* *Black antimony—1 lb.* These powders are mixed with the feed in the proportion of one huge tablespoonful once a day to every two hundred pound weight of hogs. Even though this remedy be used, strict attention must be given to combining the animals, and to the sanitary measures, if the disease is to be kept from spreading over the neighborhood. The only really satisfactory means of controlling the disease is to immunize the healthy hogs by injecting into them a prepared hog cholera serum. This must be applied by a veterinarian, and may be secured from the United States department of agriculture. It is hoped that arrangement may be made so that the West Virginia Experiment Station may make this serum and have it available for the farmers of the state. Thompson and Thompson are in reality the bushlers of bushlers in the clothing line and their stock is up to date in a vie and sheds. --- DEFINITE RULES FOR HATCHING EGGS BY ARTIFICIAL METHODS Success Or Failure Depends Upon the Quality of Eggs, Temperature, Vigor of Breeding Stock and Care Used in Running of the Incubator (By Horace Atwood, West Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station.) [Image of a grayscale landscape with a mountain range in the background, a river flowing through the valley, and a few scattered buildings or trees in the foreground]. Picture Showing Chicks That were Artificially Hatched. Running the incubator In order to make a success of artificial incubation, four things are necessary—hatchable eggs, a proper temperature, a supply of oxygen sufficient for the needs of the developing embryos, and finally the eggs must be turned so that the embryos do not stick fast to the shell membranes. Selecting the Eggs. Success or failure may depend upon the quality of the eggs used. There is no incubator made that will hatch poor eggs into strong chicks, and many of the failures in artificial incubation are due to the poor quality of the eggs employed. We have paid too little attention in the past to the vigor of the breeding stock. Vigor is everything. Without vigor there can be no success either in the production of fancy or utility fowl. Select for breeders the lusty, active birds—the cocks that crow, and the heens that sinze. It is preferable to have the eggs not more than a week old, for the older the eggs the less vigorous the germs. But freshness is not the only quality desirable. If the eggs are held by hands that are too fat, or are improperly fed, or are covered with lice, or are run down and debilitated, or are out of condition in any way, they are not Picture Showing Chicks Th suitable either for natural or artificial incubation. In short, the eggs should be held by mature fowls in the plink of condition, and the eggs selected should be of good average size, neither too large nor too small, symmetrical in shape, and of the proper color. Temperature. The exact temperature at which the thermometer should stand depends upon where it is placed in the incubating chamber, and whether it records the air temperature or the temperature of the fertile eggs. The direction sent with the incubator should be followed in this matter, and care should be taken to maintain practically a uniform temperature throughout the whole three weeks of incubation. Personally I favor the thermometer which records merely the air temperature, the bulb being on a level with the tops of the eggs. With the thermometer located in this way a temperature of 102½ from start to finish gives satisfactory batches at the right time. Turning During its growth the embryo floats in the albumin so that when an egg is living naturally on its side the embryo is immediately underneath the highest part of the shell and is thus in position to be most quickly and effectively warmed when brooded by the mother hen. In this position it is easy for the membranes which surround the embryo to dry fast, or stick to the shell membranes, and when this takes place the egg either does not hatch, or the chick is a cripple due to its unsymmetrical development. Turning the eggs is for the purpose of changing the position of the embryos, thus preventing them from sticking to the shell membranes. The eggs should be turned regularly twice each day. Moisture and Ventilation In a fertile egg there is life which requires oxygen for its continued existence. Oxygen is absorbed, and carbon dioxide is thrown off practically in the same way as in the case of adult animals. The circulation of air through the incubating chamber a certain relation, too, between the loss in weight of eggs during incubation and the rapidity with which the air circulates through the incubating chamber. The following table shows how much 100 eggs should lose in weight in ounces during the first 19 days of incubation: Day. Ozs. Day. Ozs. Day. Ozs. 1. .1.65 7. .11.72 13. .22.10 2. .3.31 8. .13.44 14. .23.88 3. .4.96 9. .15.16 15. .25.66 4. .6.62 10. .16.83 16. .27.44 5. .8.28 11. .18.60 17. .29.21 6. .10.60 12. .20.33 18. .30.99 19. .32.77 After placing the eggs upon the trays ready for the incubator set the trays upon a pair of scales reading to ounces and note the total weight of the eggs and trays. (The trays should be thoroughly dry.) Attr a few days weigh again. Subtract this from the first weight. This will give the actual loss in weight of the eggs. EXAMPLE. Suppose that you have 203 eggs on the trays; that the first weight with trays is 24 pounds 2 ounces, and that on the sixth day the weight is 23 pounds 6 ounces. Then the actual loss in weight of the eggs is 12 ounces. Now look in the table for at were Artificially Hatched. gases which are produced as a result of the vital activity. On the other hand, the circulation of air should not be too rapid, as in that case too much moisture might be carried away from the eggs, thus injuring the hatch. Egg shells are perous, and they allow the watery contents to evaporate slowly. If the eggs do not lose enough moisture, the hatch is apt to be poor, and the shells weak—many of them dying from nonabsorption of the contents of the yolk snack, white if the loss of moisture is too excessive the hatch will be injured. For best results the eggs should neither lose too much nor too little moisture. In practice there is the loss in weight of 100 eggs for six days. This is 10 ounces. Ten ounces multiplied by 2.08 gives 20.8 ounces, which is the calculated loss for 208 eggs for six days. Therefore the eggs have not been losing weight as rapidly as they should, and the eggs should be given more ventilation or the thermometer should be removed to a drier location. (It is assumed that the eggs are kept uniformly at the proper temperatures.) After the eggs have been tested for the infertile ones weigh again and proceed as before. If the eggs have lost too much weight give more moisture or less ventilation. If the eggs have not lost enough weight open the ventilators, or place the incubator in a drier place. Alring and Cooling Eggs During Incubation. Eggs hatched under natural conditions are left unprotected when the broody hen leaves the nest in search of food. At such times the eggs become cool or even cold. In the case of natural incubation it would seem that the process of cooling and airing is due to the necessity of the mother hen of obtaining food, and probably has no connection whatever with normal incubation. Instead of being of benefit, the cooling of eggs during incubation may be, and frequently is, detrimental, inasmuch as cooling the eggs tends to slow down the vital processes and delays the development of the embryos. In the case of machines in which the ventilation is imperfect it is quite pos sible that the cooling and airing process may be of benefit by giving the embryos fresh air rather than through the cooling effect At Hatching Time. After the eggs begin to pip, the door of the incubator should not be opened so as to allow cold air to strike the partly-hatched chicks, as they are very tender at this stage and easily catch cold. The chicks can be ruined easily at this time if allowed to pant either on account of too high a temperature or a lack of fresh air. If they pant, either the temperature should be lowered, or more air admitted, or a portion of the chicks removed at once to a brooder. It is generally best, however, to allow all of the chicks to remain undisturbed in the incubator for 24 hours, the temperature being brought down gradually to 95 degrees. Finally, it must be remembered that in operating an incubator one is dealing with the development of life, an entirely different matter than the operation, for example, of a cream separator or a grain binder, and so, if a farmer does not have the time or the patience to give the incubator careful, systematic attention, it is better to let the hen do the hatching.
