His latest effort in behalf of the colored man is brought forth by Senator Tillman's charge, made in his Chicago speech, that the race has never accomplishid snything in history. “History,” saya Elder Webb, shows that my race gathered the first wood of ingredience of civilizanon and also struck the first match of knowl- edge and kept it burning tor over 4,000 years.” To the black race he ascribes the laying of the foundations of the an cient world in the vicinity of Egypt, "the land ot Ham" To the inspira- tion furnished by the achievements of the children of Ham he attributes what was accomplished by the seven reorganized kingdoms on the Eu- pbrates. For the blacks he claims Solomon. whose nameis the synonym for the maximum of human wisdom, QUOTED 8ONGS OF SOLOMON. In hie lecture on that Chrietmas day Elder Webb suoted Songs of Solowon 1, 5 and 6, to demonstrate this point, * We find in the Songs of Solomon 1,5 and 6,” says Elder Webb, “that Solomon confessed him: solf that he was black, and also told the daughters of Jerusalem not to lock upon him because he was black, which sto say; ‘Do not be amazed at my black skin,” In support of thie point, after quoting scripture to prove that a strain of black ran all thrugh the line of the Israelites, from Abraham and his wife, Hagar, the Egyptian, to and beyond the time of, Jesus, he points out that Bathsheba,| whom David married atter the kill- ing in batdeof her husband, Uriah the Hittite, was a black woman, and_| that therefore her son, Solomon, the builder of the great temple and the sage of all the ages, was in reality, therefore, more than half black, Elder Webb carried his gencalog- ical tracing down to the time of Jesus, quoting Isaiah 52: 2-3, as eaying, "Yes, his features and his form were not pretty,” and also; “When he comes to judge the world hie hair will be line wool and not straight.” Rev. 1, 7, 14. CALLS TILLMAN HISTORY BLIND. In his communication to the Post lutelligencer in defence of his race from the attack of Senator Tillman, which he signs as Elder J. M, Webb, the evangelist and ethnologist,’ the champion of the colored man says: * Ae Ihave searched the history of all the important races J still have in memory what they have done during their time on the stage of action. So In defense of my race, the black people, concerning Senator B, R. Tillman's remarks, that the black man has never done anything in history. Mr ‘tillman is history. blind as well xs color blind. | “History shows that the Hamutes, | my race, gathered the first wood of civilization and aluo struck the first match of knowledge to it and kept at burning for over 2000) years In Atrica thi, was crested, In thy vt emity ot Egypt, David the kia ot Jorael cailed at ths dan do ot Ham Ves, itis the place wh re our father, Ham resded, Mizram, Paut and Cush remained with our tather, Hain, in Africa and beeamgy the first putlawe of the wonders and glories of Egypt. Cauaav, our brother, the fourth son of Ham, and Nimrod, the first son of ‘Cush, became so illuminated over the works of civilization that theit brothers were doing in Africa thal iteeemed te inspire them to build kingdoms, CANAAN DEPARTS FROM AFRICA *Su Canaan departed from Africa and looated on the borders of the Mediterranean sea and the country became the land of Canasn and from him sprung seven natlone whicn established seven reorganized king doms, Now Nimrod, the mighty hunter before the Lord, as biblical history quotes him, located io the the land of Shinar, which reigned on the lower course of the Euprates He founded the Babylm kingdom and he wae also the founder ut the great ancient city of Nineveh. These black kingdoms were never conquered or invaded by any nation or human power until God himself conquered them. Biblical history shows how God conquered the black Egyptian Cantanites and Babylon kingdoms ani also for what purpose he did it, "so this little sketch of ancient history of the black race, my people, shows that Senator B. Ro Tillman was history blind when he stat-d in| his speech at Chicago Tucsday night, November 27th that the Negro never did anything in history,”—Seattle Post Intelligencer. BAPTIST TO BUILD. The completion of th: house ef worship of the First African Baptist church, northeast corner of Third and Quincy streets, is to be accom plished as soon as possible, Work- men have just fiaished placing a new foundation to the large addition to the structure, Itis likely that only the woodwork will be done this win- ter, But some time next summer it is expected the brick work and the interior «ill bave been finished. When completed the edifice will have cost about $12,000, It will have a total seating capacity of 2,800, ‘There will be Sunday schol and young people's rooms, pastur'’s study, baptietry and other necessary arrangements for the conduct of the church work ina modern way. It is intended to install a pipe organ. The addition will cost $7,000. ‘The structure was commeaced eight years ago, The present building was finiwhed on the cast vide of tho large foundation, The founda+ tion was finished then, with the under standing that It was to be entirely ocupied, bur the plans were changed and the building was never finished, Hard times financially made it ad- visable for the congregation not to shoulder the burden of it all as orig- inally contemplated, Therefore the old foundation was covered and al- lowed to remain. A few days ago when the building project’ was re~ vived, it became necessary to destroy $1,000 worth of this because of its depreciation since ite construction, Rev. G, D, Olden began the building of the house; Rev, T. J.

Throngs of whites as well as colored people visited the home for colored orphans and aged folk which was formally opened yesterday with a reception from 10 o'clock a.m. until 10 o'clock p.m. The building is located at the corner of First and Granite and will stand as a monument to the industry of the colored people of Pueblo, Colo., in caring for the unfortunates of their race. The building is well furnished and equipped with all modern improvements and will prove one of the most useful institutions of its kind in Pueblo At 8 o'clock last night a special program was rendered before a large audience. The meeting opened with an invocation by Mrs. J. P. Watson, which was followed by a speech by Mayon Jno F West in which he congratulated the promoteda of the movement. Rev. G. A C. Lahman spoke of the objects of the home and the necessity of such institutions in every city. Addresses were also made by M. B. Brooks and Rev. D. A. Owens, Mrs. Ida Joyce Jackson of Colorado Springs. The feature of the program was the address of Attorney W. B Townsend, who spoke as follows: Ladies, you hear much these times regarding the twentieth century woman you find hat taking her place in the front rank in the battles of life, working for the uplifting of humanity. If you read the daily papers and magazines you will there are columns devoted to the various sorts of club work with which women are connected. Some of these clubs are engaged in kindergarten work, others are looking after the aged and infirm, still others are doing rescue work among the fallen and so on down the line of useful work women hands are outstretched to aid the weak and the strung. "It is my opinion that among the most important club work in which woman can engage in the work of the mothers' club I wish I could reach every mother of our race today when I say the grandest and noblest club work you can engage in is in your home around the family treaside. Where the parents have the training of the future men and women, who shall bring honor or dishonor upon us all. It is well said that the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world; that being true how doubly important is the responsibility of the mother. It is her hand that most successfully guides the footsteps of the little child, it is she who sows the seed which as the child grows to manhood or womanhood shall mature and bring forth fruit either for good or for evil. Mothers cannot shirk this great responsibility; they cannot have such an important duty upon the school teachers who may train the intellect, but back of that must come the home culture the foundation upon which the child must build. How many poor mothers of this race, ignorant of this fact, have toiled early and late to educate a son or daughter who came out of school bright in intellect, but work in morals, because their mothers have neglected to give them the home training which should make them strong men and women of character? So when the time comes they left the home and went out to meet the trials and temptations of the world they were like the house built upon the sand when the storm came. "Appreciating the beneficent results of the parents' duty to their children in giving them good home training, what must be the predicament and often the calamity of the child who have no parents to bear upon the much need to care and training in their ten or ten years." Human hopes and human needs have their root in human needs. INSURED? of Protection A NATIONAL FRATERNAL INSURANCE SOCIETY P. C. Thomas, Nat'l Bupt. J. G.

KANSAS The Spade In Modern Woods The deadlock of the contending armies in Manchuria immediately after the battle of Sha River recalls the campaigns of the civil war. Kuropatkin fortified in the tracks where the battle left him, and so did his enemy. The Russian fortifications are known to be formidable, and doubtless those constructed by the Japanese are equally strong. Early in the civil war the spade was at a discount, but in 1804 both the northern and the southern armies fell to making ridge pits and breastworks as soon as a deadlock occurred in the fighting. The Confederate General Lee, in his retrograde movement from the Wilderness battlefield to James river, fortified the lines taken up successively at Spotsylvania, North Anna river and Cold Harbor. Grant forged his way up to the Confederate outposts and also fortified his lines. In the end he gave up trying to burst through the enemy's strong barriers and moved forward by the flank. The same methods characterised the Confederate retrograde movement from Dalton to Atlanta, Ga., led by General Johnston. Johnston met every advance of his opponent, Sherman, with strong fortifications. Sherman fortified the ground taken as he pushed his army step by step against the enemy's reserve lines. Prolonged contests always end in a brute struggle for the mastery, and finally the the place of human bodies to millets and shells. In this recipe storm warfare has but the same old answer to the old problem—the spade, the spade. Sending Christmas Presents by Mall. The approach of the Christmas season brings anything but pleasant anticipations to the railway mail clerks who handle the thousands of presents sent through the malls. Their labors are greatly increased by the imperfect manner in which a large percentage of the packages are put up, in many cases being so poorly tied that they come apart long before they reach their destination. Speaking of it the other day, a mail clerk said if people would take the trouble to put the article in a box it would save a great deal of unnecessary worry and labor at a time when the clerks are badly overworked, and the present would reach the person for whom it is intended in much better shape than it usually does. A shoe or a cornet box or a breakfast food carton makes a package of convenient size for handling in the mails. Glass, china or fragile articles of any description should be packed in wooden boxes. Packages should be securely tied and plainly marked with the address of the sender in the upper left hand corner. Postage should be fully prepaid, 1 cent an ounce for merchandise and 1 cent for two ounces on printed matter, including books, photographs, pictures, etc. Federation in Central America. Federation in Central America. Some of the politicians and party leaders of Central America are reported to be making determined efforts to secure a union of the five republics of that region in an offensive and defensive alliance against the whole world, with the particular purpose of resisting imagined encroachments upon their rights and territory by the United States. Aggression by this country is not at the present time so threatening as to demand the formation of such an alliance, but a union of the states between Mexico and the Isthmus would undoubtedly insure to the benefit both of those states themselves and of their larger neighbors. It would give a much greater assurance of permanent peace among them than new exists. The federation movement received a considerable impetus from the recent convention at Port Cerinto, at which Guatemala, Nicaragua, Salvador and Honduras were represented. Costa Rica sent no delegates to this meeting, but her eminent men express themselves as in hearty sympathy with the federationists. This country is not alone in having a serious immigration problem with which to contend. England has discovered that within a comparatively short time she has convicted over 18,000 aliens of crimes at a cost to her taxpayers of over $600,000. Furthermore the infusion of aliens is raising the rents to a figure which is beyond the resources of her own poor tollers. Many of the aliens are paupers and become a burden upon the communities where they settle. Brigadier General Story, chief of artillery of the United States army, makes the encouraging announcement that our new coast defenses render our large cities as nearly impregnable as Port Arthur. He insists, however, that more artillerymen are needed to keep the forts and their guns in their present state of efficiency. The dalai lama is reported to have arrived in Russian dominions, but he didn't take his late kingdom with him Great Britain had a string on that. The muskrat predicts a mild winter, the goose bone an extremely cold one. Between the two we may expect the usual "all kinds of" weather. HUM3T HE STRUCK IT. Tommy's Thoughts Were Herewhere, but he Could Guess. "There is a sentimental Tommy in all most every school," said Michael King of Lewiston as he leamed over the counter of his cafe on Main street and cut a luxurious pumpkin pie. "There was one in our school when I was a boy, He was Tommy Drazier, and he was a mighty smart little fellow, but he never had his lessons. He knew where every bird nested, where the May flowers grew the thickest and where the high top sweetings fell first; but, blee you, he couldn't remember his lessons. He was critical in many matters too. He knew all that was passing in the politics of the state and nation, but he was off in his history lesson. One day he came in late and couldn't keep his thouh's on his book. On his school he had seen a big mud turtle by the side of the track, and he had to put a big rock on him to hold him up' night, and his anxiety test the turtle should get away bounded his eyes. He hoped that somehow the teacher would pass him over. He listened to the other children reciting, with a big mud turtle crawling away before his eyes with a rock on his back, but finally the teacher's eyes fell on him. "Tommy Frazier, what battle was Lord Nelson killed in?" "Tommy was in despair, but he found a way." "Did you say Lord Nelson? he asked cautiously. "Yes." "Which battle?" "Yes, certainly." "Well," said Tommy as the light of inspiration broke over him—'well, I speaks it must have been his last.'" A Leason From Files. It was in a country school, and I was hearing my little second reader class. The lesson that day was a story about files, their curious ways and habits. Among other things the story said that files always kept their faces clean and then went on to tell how they rubbed their feet over their heads, as could often be seen by watching them. The last thing in the lesson was the question, "What lessons can boys and girls learn from the files?" I asked the children to answer the question. Only one small boy ventured an answer, and that was, "To wash our faces with our feet."-Christian register. Easy For an Expert. "Hah," said Sherlock Holmes, Jr. after shaking hands with his host and taking a hasty glance at the other guests, "your wife is jealous of you!" "By George, Holmes, you're a wonder!

A QUESTION OF CARPETING. A Heat, Pretty and Inexpensive "HIM and NIM" Solved It Satisfactorily. Aunt, pretty and inexpensive wife and Mimi'* Salved It satisfactedly. Our new house was to be finished in the fall, and by that time all of our extra capital would be finished also. I was trying to think of some nice but inexpensive way to furnish the second story rooms when Aunt Anna came to visit us for a month, says a writer in the New Idea Magazine. "Twenty years ago the carpet question did not worry young housekeepers, for every bride was expected to have a fine web of rag carpet to begin with, and really I think there is nothing prettier or more suitable for upstairs bedrooms than the soft tones of a well made rag carpet," said Aunt Anna after I had told her of my plans and the size of my purse. "But how can I make one?" I asked after thinking of all of the castoff garments in the family. "By going to work," she replied, "and when you run out of material at home call on your aunts and cousins." So we began at once and soon had all our material collected. "To insure a smooth, even carpet we must use all cotton rags and cut them all of such width that when woven they will be of uniform thickness. Rags cut from soft goods will beat up closer in the weaving than those cut from stiffer material and should be about as thick as six ply of the chain or an oat straw when woven into the carpet," said Aunt Anna as she rolled and twisted a strip between her fingers. First we cut in strips all the dark and all the bright colored rags. These we mixed well, lapping the ends about an inch and sewing them diagonally across with the machine. Not stopping to clip the thread each time, we soon had a long strip sewed, and then, clipping it apart, we wound it into balls of about one pound each. We had decided to make rugs 9 by 12 feet. These would require twelve yards of yard wide carpet. Each square yard of carpet requires one pound of rugs, so we stopped when we had sewed twelve pounds of rags. The rags were sewed hit and miss and of so many colors that we selected the chain in six different colors, a pound of each, and had it laid thread about so that there would be no strips. Besides the rags the carpet cost: Six pounds of chain, at 25 cents per pound, $1.50; twelve yards weaving, at 10 cents per yard, $1.20; total $2.70 A Convenient Kitchen Table The design shown herewith illustrates a table that represents not a little experience and consideration of what goes to make the most convenient table, says the Ladies' World. It has a large top, which keeps dishes and pans from getting into inextricable confusion, and it has a large num- A KITCHEN TABLE. ber of drawers, which are always convenient, and also closet room. Two slides pull out, on which pans may be set when one is sitting at work at the table, while in the long space under the center of the table is a chance to hang a multitude of kettles and other kitchen utensils. These are protected from dust by a washable curtain that slides upon a rod at the front of the opening. The French Apron End. The wearing of aprons is one of the old useful fashions now being revived, greatly to the saving of our frocks and the comfort of the wearers. The coquettish apron has been set aside for awhile, but is now once more asserting itself. The strictly useful has always held its own. The French have turned a kindly eye to them, and in the days of Louis XIII, women wore them and their bunch of keys, showing they were vestable housekeepers. In the time of Louis XIV, ladies of the court donned them when employed in needlework and other arts, and it is from that period we are restoring the airy nothings of lace and muslin to our favor. Sometimes they are of light colored crepe de chine, worked in gold. More useful ones of thicker fabric have large pockets. These are adorned with pretty ribbon bows, and these ribbons sometimes draw up the pocket. Sometimes strong linen aprons are laced with ribbon at the edge by means of eyellet holes. A Pressing Item For Housekeepers. A preserver of time and patience is something to wrap the silver in when it is to be laid away for company use. It is a tissue paper in which there is no sulphur, and it positively keeps the silver clean and bright any length of time, says a correspondent in an exchange Notes From Jewelers' Circulas. Sleeve link buttons in amethyst and aventurine are rimmed in plain gold. Etched and hand chased silver in scroll and flower designs is becoming popular. Little receptacles for hatpins are of the gypsy kettle style or in the vase-like forms of silver. Fascinating little handy pins are in sets of three in lizard skin cases. Peacock and other feather designs are shown in fine enamels and gold. Insects, animals, ferns, leaves and wayside flowers are now generally utilized as motifs in original and charming designs of standard articles of jewelry. Among the stones upon which fashion at present beatows her approval are the peridot, amethyst, tourmaline, aquamarine, zircon, garnet and the new American stone, kunzite. FRIDAY, DEC. 14, 1906 CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1. After the addresses the Grand Lodge was opened in due and ancient form, with prayer by Rev. J. J. Morant, Grand Chaplain. Most Worship. E. W. Lampton delivered his annual message to the Grand Lodge. The address was full of information, and was considered a fine literary production. Many were the compliments received by the Grand Master. At night a Grand Lodge of Sorrow was held in the Salem Baptist church, which is one of the largest churches in the city. The Grand Lodge, under the escort of W B. Derrick lodge and Greenville lodge, marched from the meeting place, each Mason carrying a torch. The line of march was one mile long. Following the Lodge of Sorrow, the Grand Lodge returned to the temple and resumed work. The Grand Lodge officers reported. E. E. Perkins, Sec. and Treas. of the M. B. A., made his annual report, showing that $120,505 had passed through his office, and $80,017.50 had been paid to the widows and orphans. Wednesday was a busy day. A large amount of business was transacted, and the Grand Lodge was addressed by Rev. Dr. Pettiford President of the Penny Savings Bank, Rirmingham, Ala., who advised the Masons to buy homes. In response to his address, Dr. Lampton requested all the Masons who owned homes to stand up. It looked as if every Mason owned property. At night the following Grand Lodge officers were elected: M. W., E. W. Lampton, Greenville, Grand Master; R. W., W A. J. Morgan, Shelby, Deputy Grand Master; R. W., B. F. Lacey, Shiloh, Grand Senior Warden; R. W. J. L. Riley, Hansbury, Grand Jun- Warden; R.

CHAS. STEWART. KANSAS CITY, MO. Kansas City, Mo., Dec. 12. EDITOR PLAINDEALER: Please be kind enough to allow us a little space in your paper to report the grand success we had in our rally, Nov. 25th, 1906, at the Pleasant Green Baptist church. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather we raised $19 08, and broke ground for our new church, to be located at Independence and Tracey avenues. Rev. P. J. Jackson acted as master of ceremonies, pastor of Pilgrim Baptist church. Rev. Dr. Bacote, of the Second Baptist church, delivered an able address. Rev. J. W. Hurme of St Stephen Baptist church, and Rev. J. D. Addison of St. Paul, were also present. The people at home did not attend so well, but the members living ten miles away came, and may the Lord bless them. Rev. James Monroe Booker, late of Memphis Tenn., who made the trip from this city to Memphis to the National Convention, to bring back his companion to this our city, is our pastor, the one you helped eat the chicken that we gave him when he started home. He offered a reward of ten dollars in gold to the club who raised the most money over $260. The Willing Workers raised $278.20, and the Rosevelt club raised $240.20. On last Sunday our pastor according to promise gave Sister Lazzie Wear, captain of the Willing Workers, $10. We are proud to say that we are out of debt. We have $500 in the National Bank of Commerce and the lot is all paid for. Dr. Booker is a man of God and the great at preacher in the state of Missouri, and we pray that he may live long and do much good as a servant of God. F. L. LAWIS, Trustee. UNION CITY, TENN.

Phoes of the Farmers' Convention recently held in Lincoln Institute are still in the air, and from Editor Illuston of the Sedalia Conservator they called forth a sound, forebable and ringing editorial November 18, which coupled with that given by Editor Chiles of the Topeka Plaindealer and the favorable comment of the metropolitan daily press of several large cities, indicates how, under the able management of President B. F. Allen, the institution is winning friends at home and abroad. Never before in the history of the institution has there been so keen an interest in the industries taught, although at the same time there is no abatement of real in and for the literary departments. Accounting for this condition, too much emphasis cannot be placed upon the fact that every detail of work in the industrial department, as well as elsewhere, is looked after by President Allen with the utmost care, every encouragement is given the student to look some industry; in fact, every student is required to complete several branches of industrial work during the course. As additional help in the process of stimulating real for industrial work, the president also gives a series of morning talks to the student body assembled, in which the subject discussed is some branch of the industries or some phase of industrial work. In this connection he has discussed the architect and his work, the blacksmith, the wheelwright, the cook, the seamstress—in short, the skilled workman and workwoman in every line. He has given special talks on agricultural use, in which the difference between the agriculturist and the farmer was well brought out; as also reasons why warmars' boys are so frequently unwilling to remain on the farm; and in the meanwhile he has suggested practical methods for preventing this undesirable condition of affairs. Likewise, to every department of industrial and literary work he is bringing such practical knowledge that the average student sees that he must learn to do something very well if he is to be a citizen of value to America, or any other progressive civilization. Prof. H. H. Pace, who succeeds Prof. Garnett in the chair of Classical Languages, is also a printer by profession, and will have charge of the department of printing in Lincoln Institute. Prof. Pace is already at work and ready to receive those parties who may desire to take printing in connection with their regular course or otherwise.

If there can be said to be any difference in the shapes of derby hats that difference lies in the crown, which this season is much higher. It is predicted on good authority that representative spring shapes will show a decided preference for extreme crowns. Attention still centers on the efforts to create a style for brown derbies, though the public shows little or no disposition to accept them so far. Manufacturers' new samples show a variety of shades in brown, but the best known shops are not predicting a successful season for them. A new departure in the derby hat will never have caught the public fancy is the extensive use of fine material. The texture, material and trimming and the silky appearance of the felt proclaim at once that quality is there and so clearly evident that even the unpracticed eye appreciates the difference. While the price—$5—may stand in the way of an immediate purchase, the man who once wears a finer derby is loath to return to the regulation quality The rich appearance of the more expensive hat and the durability and preservation of its color and shape offset the slight increase in cost. Too many men hesitate to change the shape of their derby once they have found a becoming block, and it is really a difficult thing to convince the man of plainer ideals concerning dress that he should adhere to of the new high crown shirt, on the man who does not fancy the crown there is a rather flat derby with a some- ```markdown ``` Beginning at the top the cut shows the opera hat of 1906, the high crowned derby, the "Master William," the "knockabout" and the alpine what pointed brim, which is more becoming to certain types than the high crown Soft hats have taken the season by storm. More styles in these are shown than for many years back. An unprecedented departure the soft hat has taken is its universal use for evening wear. The hat so used comes in black only, is well made and lined with satin. The name that distinguishes it from the alpine is "Tuxedo," and it may accompany all styles of evening clothes and go to almost any function with dignity. The most popular soft hat of the season is made of belly nutria. The material is taken from the under portion of the little animal, which inhabits the Brazilian boundary along the Platte river. A strip of the belly is taken from the pelt and put through certain processes which render it as soft and fine as the costilent silk. The pelt turns water and does not spot with raia or snow. The nutria is similar to our beaver, but is smaller in size, and it produces the finest material for hat making on the market with the exception of beaver The soft hats made from it come in several shades, but soft fawn color seems to be the most popular. There are several shapes also. The college boy wears his hat with a ring crushed in the crown. This style is called "Master William." Then there are the "telescope," the "knockabout" and another style which to a considerable degree resembles the alpine. Silk hats are always interesting, just as are ladies' evening hats, and the shape change from one season to the next. Very young men wear crowns a little less curved or belled than the cut represents, if there is any perceptible difference in the shape. On the other hand, styles in such hats for older men have the bell crown much more emphatic and are a bit larger and heavier looking. The middle aged man wears a grosgrain silk band on his silk hat, while for the younger man is substituted a narrow band of cloth. Owing to the increased popularity of the soft black hat already described for evening wear there has been a decided decline in the use of the opera hat since early fall—Designer. Fashion's Echoes. The leg o' mutton is the latest revival in sleeve Very smart are the capes and capes sloven on the newest coats and dolmans The dart is in again—the old fashioned scam that runs in pairs moths, mice of the bodice front and fit like a glove. Very light shades are replacing the "sil white" gloves, light tan and mode being favorites. These are worn not only with gowns to match, but also with them in contrast. --- WE WANT 6,000 More Men, Women and Children to Read and Pay for AGENTS WRITE FOR TERMS HENNESSEY, OKLA.

Bushnishie Hosumi, professor of law in the University of Tokyo, in a paper on the new Japanese code read at the recent international congress of arts and sciences at St. Louis gave an interesting exposition of the manner in which the Japanese have sought to conform their legal system to western ideas. The method employed has been conservative, recognizing for the time being some of the most firmly implanted of the old customs rather than inviting by an attempt to revolutionise everything a reaction which might defeat the purpose of the new code. About the year 700 a legal code, based upon Chinese moral philosophy, with the cult of ancestor worship and the feudal system, was drawn up and promulgated. This code, with some minor changes, continued in force until the beginning of the nineteenth century. A system of such antiquity naturally had to be reckoned with by the drafters of the new code, though their task was somewhat simplified by the fact that the old laws had never been published. They had been made for the edification of the judges and other officials. The decree promulgating the new preliminary code after the restoration of the emperor in 1803 followed this tradition in addressing itself to the officials of the empire. When the second code was proclaimed, however, in 1878, the emperor's subjects, as well as his officials, were commanded to obey it, and it was declared that "henceforth every law upon its promulgation shall be posted in conspicuous places for the information of the people," making it evident to the Japanese that their government was to be from that time one of laws and not of men. The legal condition of women was one of the most complicated problems which confronted the revisionists. Both Buddhism and feudalism had Japanese women kept in a state of dependency. The Chinese doctrine of the three obediences was strictly enforced under the old law—in childhood a female was subject to her father, in youth to her husband, after her husband's death to her sons. A woman had no legal rights which her husband or sons were bound to respect. In dealing with this question the drafters of the new code made a clean sweep of tradition and established legal rights for women similar to those of the most advanced European nations. Unless otherwise stated in the marriage contract, the property of a woman at the time of her marriage now remains hers. She may also acquire property after marriage and hold it in her own name. There is no distinction between the legal rights of an unmarried woman and a male citizen. A woman now has the same rights as a man in the matter of divorce. In the maintenance of the "house," a survival of the old clan system, the new code has been less radical. The unit of state in Japan is still the family rather than the individual, but the powers of the head of the house now are practically limited to certain rights connected with ancestor worship and control over the marriage of subordinate members. Any member of the house may own property and on his death leave it to his heirs, where formerly it reverted to the head of the clan. It is believed that in time the "house" will be disintegrated and will join the rest of the mediæval customs of Japan in the limbo of the past. A French authority on European affairs, M. Yves Guyot, predicts in the North American Review that Russia will hereafter encounter hostility in attempting to float war loans. He says that the French investors are now awake to the fact that the Franco-Russian alliance is a one sided affair, so far as advantage goes, and that Russia has flooded that country with her bonds. Russia's weakness is so manifest, says M. Guyot, that the limit of faith in her future will soon be reached in France. Russia still has an immense gold reserve to fight on, and the end of the war is not likely to come soon because of her financial straits. Yet failure of credit in the house of friends is not a pleasant prospect for a nation situated as Russia is. Our neighbors on the north seem not at all given to the worship of imported greatness. Some time ago England sent over a titled major general to reorganize the Canadian militia, and the colonial premier plainly told his lordship that he was not wanted. In the late national election the Laurier administration, which snubbed this pretentious individual and caused his recall, gained votes as a result of the incident. Not alone St. Louis, but the whole country, may be congratulated over the success of the Louisiana Purchase position. The labors of the project and managers have been appreciated, and millions of people have added to their stock of knowledge in a way that can never be forgotten. The correspondents in the far east, having nothing better to do, seem to be amusing themselves by inventing new and more tantalizing ways of spelling the names of Manchurian villages. ```markdown ``` We carry one of the fine Topeka.
