"HERE SHALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS MAINTAIN, UNWED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN" ESTABLISHED 1882 How To Judge A Race's Worth No one can be said to know any class of people who has not been in intimate and sympathetic relation with the best as well as the worst of the class. We compare many persons who live in the South, and think they know the colored race, with others who have had no such contact, but who have come into intimate and sympathetic relations with large numbers of that race whom their Southern friends have never known; and of the two sets of people we should say that the second knew the colored people better than the first. They know aspirations among them that the others do not know, or, knowing, do not enter into and appreciate; they know capabilities by direct contact with the best of the race which others are oblivious of; they know qualities which only respect and sympathy can bring out; they know possibilities to which others by their very acquaintance are blinded. If those who know the colored race through the mass and by observation morely could know what individual possibilities are demonstrated in growing numbers of the elect, and would be courageously candid with themselves, they would revise their judgments and possibly soften their prejudices. At any rate, they ought to credit to those on whom they charge ignorance of the colored race the values that come from knowing how many of that race are the equal of any members of the dominant race in the highest abilities and in the clearest aims. No estimate is worth much which does not take people at their best.—Christian Register. EXTREME HEAT IN ALASKA Extreme heat during the last ten days has caused weather conditions hither unknown to the oldest inhabitants of southeastern Alaska. The weather bureau thermometer has registered as high as 90 degrees in the shade and the 100-degree mark has been reached by street thermometers. Forest fires are raging along Lynn canal and the glaciers have been discharging ice at an extraordinary rate. At this time of the year, the sun shines twenty of the twenty-four hours each day, and to absence of the usual southwest winds is attributed the excessive heat. Fruits and vegetables give indications of bumper crops. STRANGE COINCIDENCE Harry Strickler was accidentally killed by his nephew, Glynn R. Eckert, in Luray, Va., at the home of William B. Rickard. A coroner's jury exonerated Rickard. A coincidence of the tragedy was the killing of a cousin of young Strickler just twenty-five years ago and in exactly the same manner as Strickler was killed. FARM BOYS IN BASEBALL. Managers Think They Outclass the City Bred Youngsters. "The other day I inquired of a major league manager what class of young men he wanted for his team," writes Hugh S. Fullerton in Farm and Fireside. "Give me the farmer,' he replied instantly. 'The chances for his falling victim to the temptations of baseball are fewer. He may not be as well posted as to city ways, but in one season you cannot tell the difference. They come larger, stronger, live cleaner and think more clearly than city boys do. Besides, the majority of them have the right idea in view. They want to get money to buy a farm. "Twenty, yes, ten years ago the major league baseball teams were recruited almost entirely from the larger cities. Cincinnati led in production for years, then Boston, then St. Louis. A dozen years ago 50 per cent of the major league players hailed from New England and from the Atlantic states. Now more than 60 per cent of all major league players come from farms or from small villages, and the farms produce a greater number of good players than come from any other place. "Rube Waddell, Rube Marquard, Rube Ellis, Rube Benton—a score of rubes have shows in major league baseball, and their nickname once was one of ridicule. Not now. Managers of major league baseball teams are looking for rubes, and when they say Rube they mean, not the uncouth or the awkward recruit, but the clean cut, clean living boy from the farm." WHERE THE MAIDS WOO. Capturing a Husband In India Is an Ordeal at Times. It would be a great mistake to imagine that there are no countries where the bashful bachelor does not have to wait and be wooed. Is the Torres Straits islands, for instance, it is the height of bad form for a young man to make the first advances in wooing. Even after the preliminary steps, which consist of the exchange of bracelets, everything is not plain sailing. A girl sends a message to a young man to meet her, and if all goes well she urges him to name the day. When matters have gone as far as this it is no longer necessary for him to play the part of the modest violet, and he replies, "Tomorrow, if you wish." Then they go home and tell their relatives, who promptly celebrate the occasion by a general melee. Among some of the rude tribes of India the woman's courtship is a less agreeable experience. If the man of her choice does not respond she takes a jar of rice beer and sits down in his house. The women of the family know what the rice beer means, and if they do not want the marriage to "come off" they are allowed to use any means short of personal violence to eject the fair wooer from their doors. They may put pepper in the fire, drench her with water, or load her with opprobious epithets, but to gain the man of her choice the lady has only to hold out for some two or three hours and the bridegroom is hers. — Detroit Free Press. Soldiers and Mustaches. The suggestion that soldiers should be clean shaven would not have commended itself to Victor Emmanuel II., who held it incumbent on a soldier to look ferocious. One of his first acts in assuming the royal dignity after the battle of Novara was to change what he called his "milksop's appearance" by applying black dye to his hair and mustache, which were naturally fair. This he continued to use until his death, always applying the dye himself, for he hated barbers or valets to come near him.—London Chronicle. Selecting a Vest. "Haven't you any larger checks?" "No." said the tailor. "These are the largest I have." "I fear you have not a very extensive line of cloth." "These are about as large as checks come in cloth. I might possibly make you up a vest out of linoleum."—Louisville Courier-Journal. Confidence men are everywhere. Mikado's Race Hard To Fool The wily Japanese have "put another one over" on the takers who are endeavoring to propagate jim crow Christianity in the dominions of the Mikado. The Japanese government has adopted a proposal made by the governor general of Korea to eliminate the teaching of Christianity from every Korean school, denominational or undenominational. Bishop Bashford, who represents the Methodist Episcopal church interests in Korea, has returned to the United States and will present to President Wilson an appeal that he protest to Japan against the action which bars bible instruction from denominational schools. The act already passed gives ten years for the closing of the schools, but those who have read it and are familiar with the situation say it may be only five years until the denominational schools will be closed for the Japanese government has planned to establish shintoism, which elevates the Mikado to the position of supreme ruler, and makes the state religion the supreme religion. One of the recent demands made on China is that Buddhism must be taught in the schools of the "Flowery Kingdom." The Chinese, poor weak people that they are were beginning to accept Christianity, but the Japanese, great according to western Christian standards, in a strong army and navy, efficient instruments in killing their fellow men, realize that the introduction of Christianity would mean the crushing of the yellow man, have determined to prevent Asiatics from taking the viper into their bosoms. Not only must Asia be kept for Asiatics but an Asiatic religion of some kind must be kept for the people. The Japanese have seen the dismemberment of Africa by so-called Christian nations. They know that millions of black people were stolen from their homes by Christian traders and sold into Christian slavery in Christian America. They know that Christian colored men, born in the United States are denied their rights of citizenship by Christians of another color. Anti-Japanese legislation in California and other western states tells them what they may expect from American Christians. The Japanese are a wise people and in limiting Christian activity they have probably saved their country from destruction. Saint Paul Appeal. A GOOD SUGGESTION The many drownings in the surf at Atlantic City suggest that it would be a wise precaution if each bather would take a life guard with him or her when entering into the sad mad waves. Such guards could be got, we think, if earnestly desired, for 40 cents an hour. Funerals cost at least $100 each. - Philadelphia Tribune. GIBRALTAR. The Rock That Guards the Mouth of the Mediterranean. Gibraltar was captured by the British July 24, 1704, and from that day has not been out of British hands. At first little was thought of the importance of this stronghold. For the succeeding nine years the Spanishards made repeated attempts to recapture it. On one occasion they nearly succeeded. A French and Spanish force having been collected on the Isthmus that joins the rock to the mainland, a gouthered officer to show them a path up the slipping sides of the rock, which he had reason to believe was unknown to the British. This offer was accepted. Five hundred troops ascended quietly one night and took shelter in a hollow cabled by the Spaniards "the little chair". At dawnbreak next morning they ascended higher, took the signal station, killed the guard and anxiously looked for expected re-enforcements. The reenforcements failed to arrive. The armed garrison saliued out and drove the invaders down the rock. The "little chair" was filled up and the place made stronger than ever. All subsequent attempts to capture the rock have failed. One of them was a siege by Spain and France, beginning in 1779 and not terminating until September, 1783. The rock of Gibraltar takes on a more important bearing than ever in these days of big guns because of its commanding position at the mouth of the Mediterranean, where that sea is little more than twenty miles wide. Exchange. LITTLE ANDOBRA. The Tiny Republic That Nestles In a Nook In the Pyrenees. Andorra is a republic of 175 square miles situated in the valley of the same pame in the Eastern Pyrenees. It forges an irregular little square plug between France and Spain and is a hotbed for smugglers plying between the two countries. It leads a semi-independent existence under the protection of France and the Bishop of Urgel, Spain. Charlemagne declared it independent in return for its services against the Moors. In 1278 it was transferred to the Comte de Foix and the Bishoprie of Urgel. During the French revolution relations between it and France were interrupted, on account of the refusal of France to accept the annual tribute, which was considered incompatible with a Republican form of government. In 1806, however, the former relations were renewed, and free importation of cercals, made necessary by the limited area of Andorra, was allowed by France in return for an annual tribute of 960 francs. Andorra is governed by a council of twenty-four members chosen for four years by the heads of the communities. The revenue is derived from lands and a few taxes. The manner of life is very simple. Every able-bodied male is liable to military service between the ages of sixteen and sixty. The capital is Andorra, with about 1,000 inhabitants. The total population is about 6,000 and remains practically stationary. History. History is a voice forever sounding across the centuries the laws of right and wrong. Opinions alter, manners change, erods rise and fall, but the moral law is written on the tablets of eternity. For every false word or unrighteous deed, for cruelty and oppression, for lust or vanity, the price has to be paid at last—not always by the chief offenders, but paid by some one. Justice and truth alone endure and live. Injustice and falsehood may be long lived, but doomsday comes at last to them in French revolutions and other terrible ways.—James Anthony Broude. The Hint Gentle. She—I wonder what makes the baby so wakeful? He—Heredity. That's what comes of you sitting up at night waiting for me to get home.—Philadelphia Ledger. Kindness has converted more sinners than zeal, eloquence or learning.—F. W. Faber. Negroes Ought To Reach Heaven If there is any real virtue and profit in the practice of the "beatitudes," it would seem that the Colored people ought to have a pretty fair show, either in this world or in the next. Certainly, the Colored brother is very poor in spirit, meek, merciful and very much persecuted. Moreover, he seems to love his enemies dearly, blesses those who curse him, lays up about all of his treasures in heaven, takes but little or no thought of the morrow, turns both checks to be smitten, sleeps on his dearest and most sacred rights and smiles in the very face and presence of his traducer and avowed enemy. If possession of these virtues is proof of merit to divine "blessedness," we shall occupy seats in the first heaven." The Sermon on the Mount is a hard road for the whites to travel, but it is easy sailing for most of the Hamites—it seems.—Washington Eagle A GREAT AMERICAN Joseph A. Holmes, the director of the bureau of mines, died a martyr to his work. He literally devoted his life to the cause of mining safety, in which he had been interested for many years. The government service has seldom included a man who took his task more earnestly or who gave himself as unselfishly to his duties. Working for years along the lines of mine safety, he was ideally equipped for the directorship of the new bureau upon its creation in 1910, and with the increased facilities afforded he had in the four years of his active work in that position invaluably supplemented his earlier endeavors to make mining in this country less destructive of human life. That mining disasters continue to occur only emphasizes the value of his accomplishments. He was striving continually toward the ideal of safe mining, studying every conceivable method for the prevention of disaster and the education of miners in safety methods. Every man who goes beneath the surface of the earth in the great organized attack upon the hidden resources of the planetary structure owes a debt of gratitude to Joseph A. Holmes, who deserves a perpetual memorial, that if shaped in accordance with his known desires will probably take the form of a research endowment for the prosecution of the task to which he gave himself.—Washington Star. CORRECT, BREER ADAMS Do not be satisfied with jim crow accommodations in any public place. It is criminal for a colored man to advocate separate public schools, separate public libraries, separate public play grounds or separate public institutions of any kind. There cannot be two standards of citizenship in a republic.—Saint Paul Appeal. ee es 3 ’ The Dionect ress Bevoted to the Moral, Religious and Financial Development of Humanity.

Bad preeedent That William Jennings Bryan is a mighty resourceful man the world admits, and that his resignation means the stepping down and out of office by Woodrow Wilson, the sane world believes. True, he has made many blunders. Has. any living or dead great man gotten on top other than by mistakes that acted as spurs? When Wilson will ‘be a shadow in thought, Bryan will ibe a felt substance of eternal earth ly power—for he is truthful, hon- test, clean in character and has the «courage of his convictions. Sure swe are that had he been president there would have been no disgrace. ful segregation at the nation’s Cap iitol—one of the meanest and dirti est acts that ever was inaugurated by a man clected President of the people, for the people and by the people to whom he plighted with God and man to be just alike to all. He, per force of prejudice, broke that oath, and we would rather die an honest beggar and face God, than stand before Him as President Wilson.

An Evil and a Bore at Times, but, on the Whole, a Grand Quality. Humanity has never been able to satisfy itself as to whether curiosity be a virtue or a vice. When inconvenient it is labeled as a vice; when it leads to discovery or adds to knowledge it is applauded as a virtue of the highest order. Certainly it is an instinct deeply ingrained in human nature. On it the whole of the progressive steps of childhood's career are based. The first intelligent expression of the infant is wonder; this quickly develops into active curiosity, until life becomes an enthralling and breathless voyage of discovery. Its possession is the great distinction between youth and the purlious of age. Youth is passed when the sensation of adventure is ended, when, instead of boundless expectation and of curiosity that penetrates into all the corners of existence, a man is content to take things as they are, when eagerness gives way to complacency and questioning to the cynicism of experience. Human curiosity may be stifled, but mercifully it never can be killed. In its best form it raises man above the level of the rest of creation; it becomes the desire to know, to penetrate to the root of things, to ascend to the stars and wrest from them their secrets, to solve the problems of the past, the present and the future. At its worst it may be low and vulgar, unworthy prying into matters which concern us not, the desire to apprehend evil as well as good, a curiosity that is morbid and unwholesome; but, taking it all in all, it is an excellent stimulant to progress.—London Academy. AN ABAB LEGEND Story of the Covetous Man Who Went a Step Too Far. The Arabs tell a story to show how a mean man's philosophy overshoots itself. Under the reign of the first caliph there was a merchant of Bagdad equally rich and avaricious. One day he bargained with a porter to carry home for him a basket of porcelain vases for 10 paras. As they went along he said to the man: "My friend, you are young, and I am old. You can still earn plenty. Strike a para from your hire." "Willingly," replied the porter. This request was repeated again and again, until, when they reached the house, the porter had only a single para to receive. As they went upstairs the merchant said, "If you will resign the last para I will give you three pieces of advice." "Be it so," said the porter, "Well, then," said the merchant, "if any one tells you it is better to be fasting than feasting do not believe him. If any one tells you it is better to be poor than rich do not believe him. If any one tells you it is better to walk than ride in your carriage do not believe him." "My dear sir," replied the astonished porter, "I knew these things before. But if you will listen to me I will give you such advice as you never heard before." The merchant turned around, and the porter, throwing the basket down the staircase, said, "If any one tells you that one of your vases is unbroken do not believe him." Seeing an Eclipse. In December, 1870, a solar eclipse occurred, the partial phases of which M. Flammarion observed in Paris while the enemy's shells were dropping in the besieged city. The total phase of the eclipse was visible in North Africa, and Bismarck, being aware that before the war arrangements had been made for Professor Jamssen to go to Africa to make scientific observations of totality on behalf of the Paris observatory, sent a message into the city of offering the scientist a safe conduct This was politely refused by Professor Janssen, says the London Standard, but, nevertheless, he went to Africa to see the phenomenon, leaving Paris by way of the air in a balloon, thanks in large measure to the assistance of M. Flammarion in making the necessary arrangements for the aerial voyage. British Julian Caesars Julius Caesar, who on one of the closing days of August in 55 B. C. banded on the Kentish coast, has had many British namesakes, including a great cricketer, but the best known is Julius Caesar, master of the roils under James L. about whom Lord Clarendon in the first volume of his history tells the amusing story. "Remember Caesar." The unpopular Earl of Portland sat up all night in a barricaded house with his friends and retainers armed to the teeth because he found in his pocket a slip of paper bidding him "Remember Caesar," which really had reference not to the assassination of the Roman statesman, but to some preferment promised to a son of Sir Julius Caesar. The tomb of Sir Julius Caesar, with a quaint epitaph in legal phraseology, is among the many curious monuments of St. Helen's, Bishoppsgate.—London Mail. IODIDE OF NITROGEN. An Explosive So Deadly That Make It Is Suicide. Explosives are solids which under certain conditions solidify only change into heated gas occupying many times the original space of the solids. Ordinary gunpowder when fired turns into gas, of which the volume is 4,000 times as great as that of the powder. No wonder the bullet in front of it leaves the muzzle of the ritle in a hurry. Today there are scores, even hundreds, of different sorts of explosives known to science. Some, such as hydride, require a very considerable shock to explode them. Others, such as nitroglycerin, are fearfully dangerous to handle, for a few extra degrees of warmth or a very small jar is sufficient to turn them instantly into gas. Of the latter type there is nothing quite so unstable as in moisture it has to be made in alcohol, which allowed to dry it appears no a brown powder, and so unstable is this powder that a touch with a feather will set it off. The experiment has been tried of leaving a few grains upon a table mixed with a few grains of sugar. The first bluebottle that flew on the table and began to crawl among the grains caused an explosion. The mere jarring of the air by a loud shout or a heavy footstep is sufficient to detonate bubble of nitrogen, and it need hardly be added that no one in his senses would attempt to make this terrible stuff. To do so in any quantity would be equivalent to committing suicide.—Pearson's Weekly BRINGING UP CHILDREN There Are Some Curious Customs in This Queer World. There has been much discussion over the proper bringing up of children, but ideas continue to differ. And the farther you get away from home the stranger' the ideas seem. The Filipino father cries out with proud delight as his three year old girl baby takes her puff at her first clear. Among the Seri Indians of the guild of California the father is the last one expected to have any influence on the children. The mother rules the younger members of the family, and when she must enforce her authority by physical force she calls, not on the father, but on one of her brothers or some other male adult of her family. The father must never chastise his children. A Navajo father administers punishment to his children very much as any other father does, but the Navajo boy has a means of protection denied to white boys. He has only to catch a rat by his own unaided efforts. From the moment he has accomplished this feat, no matter how young he may be, his father may not lay hands on him. The children of the Point Barrow Eskimos have special training in politeness to foreigners. In conversing with strangers who make mistakes in the native dialect children must carefully note those mistakes and repeat them, even to imitating the wrong pronunciation of words. To speak correctly in such a case is likely to bring punishment from the parent of the child. New York Sun. Retold For Choir Singers. One of the wealthy members of a fashionable church in Boston approached her pastor with the complaint that she was greatly disturbed by one of her neighbors. "It's positively unbearable," said she. "That man in the pew in front of us destroys all my devotional and pleas feelings when he attempts to shit. Couldn't you ask him to change his pew?" The good pastor was surely perplexed. After a few moments reflection he said: "Well, I naturally would feel a little deficiency on this score, more especially, as I would have to give a reason. But I will tell you what I might do." Hence the pastor's fate because illuminates with a happy disposition, "I should ask him to join the crew." Harper's magazine Hard Lock. "People can talk of their troubles," said Mrs. Witheigh. "but I think Mrs. Jones has the hardest book of any only. She is also one very proud of enjoying a womans greatest pleasure. She's a dear native and can't talk. She can only take her hands. Now, if that isn't awful tell me what is?" Mr. Witheigh looked up from his evening paper. "I met her husband this afternoon," he said, "and he was then led to pieces. This wife cut her fingers with the careful knife yesterday, and now she can't talk at all."—New York Telegram. Give For a Dog "I've bought a building," said Parsniff to his friend Lessup.

A game of baseball that had been used as a test of the jellyfish man's patience occurred at the angled turf show ground came to an allusion and dramatic conclusion almost before it was started. It was a match game, America versus Australia. In America's second hunting a player deflected a first ball straight for the densest portion of the crowd, and a scream was heard. The ambulance man rushed to the spot and found that a woman had been struck on the head by the ball, but was not seriously injured.

The player promptly obeyed the orders, and play coached Sydney countryside herald. The City. Cities are made, not born. No two cities are alike. The size of one city is never equal to the size of another. Once a city, not always a city; sometimes only a dust heap. A city is made up of a part of the country filled with inhabitants. It contains of houses, streets and dwells. No city is complete without a hospital and a fraternity plant. The hospital is used to shelter its victims and to provide its nurses with plenty of working material. The fraternity plant embels it to support politicians. A city without politicians would be like a steam laundry without any stigma. Cities are an antitote for farmers. Up to date, however, no one has been found for the antitote. Life AUTO ACCIDENTS. It seems that many of the auto accidents which from day to day mar the pleasures of the long country drives are positively uncalled for and should not be classed as "unavoidible." If reckless chauffeurs insist upon killing or maiming the people who venture out with them steps should be taken to prevent such persons from attempting to drive. An automobile is not possessed of the power to reason; such faculty must be with the man behind the wheel. There are two types of autofit which should be in eind of winter make the roads impassable; namely, the ninety-nine cent dude, who has just learned to distinguish the difference between a carburetor and a speedometer, yet has the bug sufficiently bad to make him want to "show off." The other guy who is deserving of a little more than the law allows is the speed fool who sweeps around every curve in the road on not more than two wheels and burns a sixty-seven mile an hour hole in the ozone at the risk of everybody's life within gunshot.

The battle of Bunker Hill was fought on June 17, 1775, one of many memorable battles fought in the month of June. Waterloo, the declaration of war between Great Britain and the United States in 1812, the Shannon-Chesapeake fight in that war, the battle of Naseby, the storming of the Mamelon redoubts by the French in the Crimean struggle, Mozingo, Friedland, Rasab, Kollin, Plassey, the battle of Monmouth and the fight at Fort Moultrie all were in June. Many of the most famous struggles of the war between the states took place in June. The Kearsarge sank the Alabama on June 19, 1861; Memphis fell on June 6, 1862; the seven days before Robinson began on June 26, 1862; the battle of Cold Harbor was fought from June 1 to 3, 1861; Winchester was fought on June 13, 1863; Lynchburg on June 17, 1863; Mechanicsville on June 25, 1862; Guines' Mill on the following day, and the siege of Petersburg lasted from June 15 to 30. The insurrection of Custer and his men by the Indians on the Little Big Horn, the greatest disaster that has befallen United States cavalry in decades, also took place in Illinois June 25, 1876, a date that always will be kept as a day of mourning by the Seventh cavalry.—New York Herald. WATERING THE LAWN A Task That, as a General Rule, Is Not Properly Performed. There are probably more mistakes made in connection with the watering of the lawn than in any other phase of its management. The practice of sprinkling, as it is almost universally followed, is fundamentally wrong not that the sprinkler does not furnish enough water to the grass during the season, but that it does not furnish it in properly distributed quantities. Sprinkling for a short period may appear to wet the soil thoroughly, but in reality the water does not penetrate much below the surface. This encourages the formation of surface roots and makes the grass less resistant to the severe conditions of weather and usage. Except in rare cases the lawn should not be watered oftener than two or three times a week. A thorough soaking is necessary and should be given in the late afternoon or early morning. The ordinary type of revolving spray is quite satisfactory, but the amount of water applied by it is usually much less than appears. The point to be borne in mind is that the ground should be thoroughly saturated at each application to at least three inches in depth. Kansas City Journal. Presence of Mind.
