THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. VOLUME IX MAKING READY! "Brave Men" Will Receive Characteristic Kentucky Hospitality in Old Louisville. Louisville, Ky., Jan. 30. More and more the Pythians of this city are giving the coming of the Supreme Lodge serious consideration. Many of the committees are getting their local workers together and each is being given some specific work to accomplish. It is not surprising to learn how the professional class of our citizens are offering their services to the Pythians to help make the event the greatest that has ever occurred in the South. Dr. J. A. C. Lattimore one of the leading Pythians of this city, will have for his guest Dr. R. F. Boyd, the well-known surgeon and physician, and no doubt his office will be the social headquarters for the delegation of Nashville. This city has been visited by such well known characters as Dr. Booker T. Washington, Prof. W. E. Du Bois, Hon. W. T. Vernon, Bishop Alexander Walters, Prof. Roscoe Conkling Bruce, Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, Miss Hallis Q. Brown and others of no lesser prominence and they have been loud in their praises of the cordial hospitality rendered them. They have declared that no place in America surpasses Louisville, the seat of Kentucky hospitality for its warm and heartfelt reception given to strangers. The mayor of the city has indicated that he will do all in his power to help make the stay of the visitor pleasant so far as public conveniences is concerned. The Pythiaeus who are interested in the success of the race, and the organizations that are doing a great deal along this line, will find the headquarters of the Afro-American Council at 726 Walnut street, with Rev. L. G. Jordan as corresponding secretary. This is also the office of the Foreign Mission Board of the Baptist denomination, and the office of Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, secretary to the Women's Convention, auxiliary to the National Baptist convention. The second floor is used for office rooms, but the main dining room to be used for the reginaeen of the cloth" to take meals, and no doubt this spacious building will be used for the headquarters of the Pythiaeus ministers regardless of denomination. Pythrima who are physicians will find two hospitals of their race that can be used in cases of emergency, on the Red Cross institution and the other the Louisville National hospital. At time moves on there will be much public in these columns many of the attractions and the places of interest about the Falls City, and the head printers of different cities and states. Louisville has one of the largest and handsomest Y. M. C. A. buildings in America for colored people. It is located on West Chestnut street and is the most popular section of the city. It is a two story and a half stone building with the latest and most modern conveniences and conveniences and up-to-date in all its departments. Mr. Bullock is the secretary, formerly of New Jersey, and the work under his charge TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 1. 1907 has been very gratifying to the citizens of this city. 'This building will be open to all visiting Pythianus, especially those who are affiliated with Y. M. C. A. work in other cities. This building which is one of the most spacious owned by Negroes in Kentucky, will be a "bee hive" where young men of the Pythian rauks can be accommodated and assured of a pleasant stay. Supreme Chancellor S. W. Starks will be located at one of the luxurious and magnificent Kentucky homes, with headquarters at one of the down town office buildings with telephone, messenger and etenographia service at his command. Mr. Fanning, a clarinetist of rare ability, has organised thirty-five of the best musicians of this city into a concert band. They are rehearsing every Sunday at the Odd Fellows' hall. They anticipate playing some grand music for the Amorial rank this summer. They realize that some of the best bands in the country will be here, but they expect to "make good" with soon airs as "Dixie," My Old Kentucky Home," "Swance Biver," I. Trevastore. One of the most welcome visitors to "Old Kentucky' will be Dr. C. N. Wade, of Hot Springs, Ark. The doctor is a prominent Pythian, and stands high in the council of the Supreme officers. This state being his old camping ground, he will no doubt make many after dinner speeches, which he is often called upon t, do. Miss Melnote C. Wade will head a large delegation of the Court of Calanthe in this "neck of the woods" to come to Louisville to see some of the prettiest women in this country, and be extended the courtesies of Kentucky chivalry. KOOSEVELT WATCH A dispatch from Washington says that President Roosevelt is deeply concerned in the work of the Oklahoma constitutional convention He has clearly indicated that if the constitution does not measure up to his idea of what a state constitution should be, he will reject it regardless of consequences. Recently reports have reached the white house that it has been proposed to insert in the constitution certain provisions, it is said, would prevent railroads and other corporations from employing men to protect their property in time of strikes. President Roosevelt has told some of his callers that he would not approve a constitution that does not guarantee full protection to the property of citizens. The proposed 'Jim Crow' provision has also been discussed at the white house. The president is quoted as saying that he earnestly hoped the convention would send him a constitution that he could constitutionally approve. He added that if the right kind of constitution was not adopted he would report it, even if such action would delay statehood unfinitely. Ohioan Oklahoma who offered on him to say, the president asked many questions regarding the work of the convention. He predicted a great future for the new state and indicated the worst he takes in the people. The others referred to were Delegate B, S McGairo, D R Boyd president of the University of Oklahoma, and Justice B T. Harner of the Oklahoma supreme court. Later Mr. Roosvelt had a long talk with Delegate McGure regarding the proposed constitution. Democratic senators have warned the delegates against the adoption of a constitution with a "Jim Crow" provision. "They say that the president would not consider a 'Jim Crow' constitution for a moment. Oklahoma Rebels Place no Restriction Upon Themselves in Order to Defraud the Red Man of His Land and Money. We see that the Democratic convention is attempting to place in its constitution not only a Jim Crow clause, separating the colored and white people in the depot waiting rooms and coaches, but also a clause preventing intermarriage between whites and Negroes and Negroes and Indians. This is the most outrageous and contemptible act that has been perpetrated upon the American people and especially upon the colored people since this has been a Union. The hypocrisy and deceit that is being practiced by these would-be angelic white Democrats is more than we can conceive of. The idea of enacting a law prohibiting Negroes from intermarrying with whites or Indians and at the same allowing the white man to intermarry with the Indian. This is a scheme of the white man to get the land that is owned by the Indians and at the same time exclude the Negroes from it. Blacks and whites have intermarried with Indians for years and such a law would not be in keeping with their rights. This constitutional convention is made up of Southern rebels which class of white men have raised several families of colored people before they came to the Indian Territory and in the state from which they hail, laws are now on the statute books prohibiting whites from intermarrying with Indians. One has but to step across the line into Arkansas to find in the statutes a law prohibiting the intermarrying of whites and Indians and IOLA: KANSAS. 'The Old Mands' Convention, under the management of Mrs. J. W Gordon, rendered on Jan 21 at the Groomer Hall by the ladies of the Second Baptist church, was quite a success.

Mrs. Grace Daydaton is up after a very sweet mumps. The new course of the W.M.L. school similarly for this year are sup- ported by Daydaton assistant, Warner L. secretary, Jill's White in sister, Lana Goufford. P. F. Brooks held his second quinquel whites and Negroes, and the same is true in most all of the southern states. And yet these same devils will come over into this territory and enact a law giving them a right to marry the Indian because the Indian owns the land, and as a number of white men have married Indians years ago, and raised families, therefore they are bound to stand by their actions. The constitution will not be approved by the president and we advise the colored people to organize and prepare to send a delegation to Washington to protest against the acceptance of the constitution with these obnoxious clauses by the president. It is an outrage and is not conducive to good citizenship and order. We hope the colored people will bestir themselves, obtain a committee and furnish money and transportation, and be sure to furnish that class of men who will be able to present the matter to the president in an intelligent and business like manner so that it will have effect. We will also write our congressman and advise all colored people to write their congressmen to see the president and protest against this kind of legislatin. LAW AS APPLIED IN SOUTHERN STATES Vol. 1, Code of Lawt—1902.

These, together with the members, have crowded all the hotels and boarding houses, and added unusual life and activity to the streets and public places.

Headquarters Ninth U. S. Cavalry Fort Walla. Walla, Wash. May 11, '07. The following example of statement made by applicant for re- listment as married man is approved by the Regimental Commander and published for the information of the Regiment. "In making application for re-enlistment as a married man it is with the understanding on my part and the part of my wife, as witness on signatures hereto, that as far as practicable in the opinion of the troop commander, my wife will assist the officers of the troop and garrison and their families when called upon so to do, and when no so employed will render such services as laundress for enlisted men as may be necessary or proper in the opinion of the troop commander." Sig. of soldier. _____ Sig of wife. _____ (8gd.) A. M. MILLAR JR., Captain & Adjt., 9th Cav. From a recent order issued from headquarters to the Ninth Uvalry, stationed at Walla Walla, Washington, May 13th, a copy of which appears as above, it seems that the officer who issued this order is intending to make slaves of the wives of the private soldiers, o compel them to work for the commissioned officers whether they see it or not, from the fact of their husbands being in the service and they being compelled to be n ar where they are stationed. It seems that the commissioned officers have made it imperative that the wives of the private soldiers and non-commissioned officers must work in the families of the commissioned officers or else their husbands will not be reenlisted. This is the most ridiculous order that we have ever heard issued by army officials. It is absurd on the face of it and a soldier who would sign such memorandum is certainly not acting as a freeborn American citizen and cannot demand the respect that is due man who respects and loves his family. This is equal to slavery days and surely the United States army has not fallen into the days before Reconstruction, compelling soldiers' wives to work for the commissioned officers. We hope President Roosevelt will have this order rescinded; and know that if his attention is called to this by the private and non commissioned officers, it will be done. The President may stand for some things, but this is one that we know he will not tolerate. We hope some of the soldiers who have courage and manhood enough to talk in defense of their rights will send the order to the President and have him give this commissioned officer who thinks that there must be slavery in the army to understand what his military duties are and for him to keep straight in the path of his duty or be cashiered. Refusal of any soldier to sign this will show that he is a man and he will have as good a standing as those who sign it. PHOENIA, ARIZONA. Mr. and Mrs. Geo.

To Kansas City, Kansas, and Kansas City, Mo: We are desirous of increasing our circulation in the two cities. We shall in a short time offer a good prize for the most popular lady in those cities, and shall enter them in the race for this prize with the understanding that these ladies work to secure a large subscription which insures votes in securing the prize. This most peculiar and striking incident in the history of the American people at this time is that of Ben Tillman supporting the Negro by force and compulsion. He has at last admitted that all men are entitled to a fair and impartial trial before they are convicted, and for his hatred toward the president as well as the Negroes, he has taken a dos with the Negroes as far as possible in acknowledging that right and justice should prevail in the Brownsville case. Keepon, Brother Tillman, you remember Paul of Tarsus who went to Damascus to persecute the Christians, but the Lord in His wisdom converted him and caused him to become a lover and a most powerful leader of the people he had once hated. There is no question that if Ben Tillman lives long enough he will come to espouse the cause of all men, irrespective of color, before the law. GRAND OFFICERS KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS.

DAN ANTHONY has a chance on going to Congress. He is in every way qualified and the people feel that he is the only man that will be able to take up where Mr. Curtis left off and continue the good work for Kansas and the First district, for a pardon, a honor to a place wi pay, at the disposal of the governor It is quite certain that unjust Mr. Townsend is appointed to that place that no position of tangible recognition will be given to the colored element of the party. The colored Republicans in the state are for Mr. Townsend for the place. They see in him a worthy representative and will respectfully urge his appointment by the governor. There can be no objection to Mr. Townsend, for he is competent and by reason of wide experience as a lawyer and his sterling integrity he would make a useful member of the board. We voice the sentiments of the colored voters of this state in asking for the appointment of Mr. Townsend for a place on the board of pardons. The above article is clipped from a Colorado paper, and we hope our friend, Mr Townsend will land the job, as he is capable and worthy in every particular and one of the most distinguished jurists in that state. Things Political Captain J. T. Wintrode is an old soldier, a veteran of the Civil war and is well known by every man, woman and child in Fiji. He has been faithful in the performance of his duties and there is not a pot or tittle against his reputation. He prompts if elected to the office of marshall of the City Court, to continue to serve the people faithfully in the future as in the past. There seems to be a disposition on the part of the public to do what they can for the old soldiers in these their declining days, as it will only be a question of a few years until all will be extinct Mr. J. H. Squires, who announces himself as candidate for City Clerk, subject to the Republican primary election, has filed the office with credit and honor and there is not one blight against his record not he promises i re elected, to continue the faithful performance of his duties Mr. Squires is a member of several lodges and other enterprises identified with the upbuilding of Topeks. Mr. E. R. Hayes, who announces himself as candidate for councilman from the First ward, subject to the Republican primaries, is a Topeka young man, who has resided here for the past twenty three years. He is engaged in the commission business at 529 N. Kansas avenue, just across the Melan bridge. He is one of the most prosperous, upright young business men in the city of Topeka and has not a single enemy among the business fraternity in Topeka. He has conducted his business in such a manner as to demand the respect and confidence of all. He is a member of the Lagges, K. P.'s. Woodman of the World and the Woodmen circle. He is a property owner and taxpayer and employs from five to twelve men the year round, which means a great deal for Topeka. His platform is to build up North Topeka first, and reater Topeka afterwards. He says that the North side has been discriminated against, on the proportion that they have paid taxes for years for the improvement of parks, and that not one piny of the city has been expanded for the purpose of the North side. He is also complaining a plan to move the Topeka made a tractor, or a North side will have a place for creation. He Undertakers and Embalmers --- also in favor of draining the streets in such a way that the water will not stand in them, and so that cost of such drainage will come out of the general taxes. He will see that this is carried out also. Mr. Hayes is an energetic young man and should be nominated. Edwin L. O'Neil today announces his candidacy for clerk of the court of Topeka for a second term. Mr. O'Neil was nominated two years ago by a handsome plurality in a three cornered fight, his opponents being M. F. Laycock and Robert De Frantz. He has made a competent and obliging official and there is little disposition not to accord him a second term. Mr. O'Neil is a graduate of Washburn college of the class of 1901 and for the past two years has been doing special work in the Washburn law school with the object of fitting himself for the practice of law. He is a Mason and one of the most active workers of the young man in the Commercial club. He stands well with all classes of voters in the city and will be given as cordial support as any man asking for a place on the ticket in the coming Republican primary. His only opponent is a man who held the office for six years, resigning a few months ago at the expiration of his third term to become night clerk at the Throop hotel. Mr. O'Neil is a stock holder and director of the Capital Brick company, which employs a large number of men, many of whom are colored men and they are among Mr. O'Neil's best friends. Mr. O'Neil is entitled to the nomination without opposition. M. Ed L. Good has announced his candidacy for election to the office of clerk of the court of Topeka. He is an affable, courteous, polite and worthy of young, man and stands well with all classes. He promises if elected to the office to fill its duties with promptness and give them his close attention. He has resided in Topeka for a number of years and has endeared himself to the hearts of those who know him. He served in this position once before and resigned to take up another position, but upon the solicitation of several friends, he has decided to make the race again. We would like for his friends to give him favorable consideration and if his past record merits it, give him their votes. He has always voted the straight Republican ticket and has contributed his time and money in supporting others for office. Capt. J. R. McNary, who announces himself as a candidate for Judge of the Court of Topeka, is one of the leading attorneys at the bar. He is an old solider and a veteran of the civil war. He served as Assistant Attorney under Otto L. Hungate for two terms and proved himself to be capable and officer for the position. He is a man who is well versed in the law, in honest and upright and will deal out justice to all who come before him according to the law and our denot produced Bob Miller, the well known police officer, is a candidate for Marshal of the County of Popka, subject to the Republican position. Miller was candidate to serve two and lost the nomination by only --- --- votes to J. T. Wintrode, the present marshal, who is closing his second term. Owing to the close result of the primary two years ago, Miller feels justified in attempting to capture those 17 votes. At that time he ran against a man who had served one term and according to Republican rules, was entitled to a second term. He does not have to contend with that feature at present. Miler has been an efficient city and county officer for seven years. He was a special officer by appointment of the Supreme court to assist Sheriff Lucas in the arrest of Dewy, Mr Brady and Wilson, charged with the murder of the Berry family, in Rawlinson county, three years ago, and has been chosen for several other special jobs of importance. He was the first probation officer of Shawnee county, under the new juvenile court laws, and resigned the position to return to the police force, on which he has served as jujot and petrolman for the past 8 years with the exception of a year on the city fire department, and the few months he was county probation officer. Mr. Miller is thirty four years of age and a native of Kansas, having spent his boyhood in Dodge City and vicinity. He has lived in Tospika about 12 years. Topoki, Kan. Jan. 26, 1907. TO THE VOLKERS OF TOTKA I have the honor to announce my candidacy for mayor, subject to the Republican primary to be held March 14, 1907. The year 1907 promises to be a banner year for Topeka. There are enough good things in sight if properly handled, encouraged and pushed to make this year a memorable one in the growth and development of the city. If nominated and elected I will do everything in my power to push Topeka constantly to the front, and will see to it that Topeka gets everything that is coming to her. While it is my attention, if elected, to go after every bing in sight for Topeka, I guarantee, as far as any act of my administration is concerned, that the tax rate of the city will not be raised. On the contrary, it will be my aim and ambition to make the tax rate lower, if possible, and give the people a good, clean, economical administration. To accomplish this, new railroads, new industries and thousands of new people must be brought to Topeka. What has been "as complished" in the building up of a "new Topeka" in the three years since 1901, can be more than duplicated before 1911. Let us work together and do it. Again, if elected, the office of mayor will be open during the business hours of the day, and the mayor will be at his desk every working day of the year transmitting city business. All will be welcome andpoor will be denied a hearing. ALL ENFORCED LAWS While as a citizen and while in the council as a legislative officer, I voted against the prohibitory law, because I did not believe such a law practical in the larger cities of Kansas, will, if I am elected, as an FEELING LIVER-ISH This Morning? BLUE DOG A Gentle Joke And April from the liquor traffic even in communities where such a tax is popular. This being true I see no reason for the existence of joints, dives and kindred evil places in any city in Kansas, when a high licensed, police regulated saloon, even if desired by the majority, is an utter impossibility. Hence, if elected, I will certainly see to it that such places do not exist in Topeka. As police commissioner of Topeskys under Governor Morrill along with Hon. P. I. Bonebrake, Rev. S. F. McCabe and A. K. Rogers, I have had two years experience in the administration of police affairs and I believe I know something about the business. At any rate, I will be entirely responsible for the condition of Traffic from a police standpoint during my ministration. Again, it has been I was to be the candidate of the whatever that may signify. I am not the candidate of the wits, or drys, or any fiction of the Republic in party. I announce my candidacy at the earliest solicitation of the best people in Topica. I am backed by the large factory and wholesale interests, the large financial and educational institutions and progressive retail establishments. And I am especially encouraged by my friends the State Farm shopmen, large numbers of working men and a host of others, who are interested in seeing Topika reach 5,000 to 100,000 population within the next five years. PERSONAL B. STORY. To those who are not acquainted with me I would say that I have lived in Topeka all my life and believe that I am acquainted with the needs of the city. I am a product of the Topeka schools and a graduate of Washburn and the Kansas university. My father was one of the founders of Topeka. He was the founder, first president and lifelong director of the great Santa Fe Railway company, the original charter of which lies up at the capitol in his own handwriting. Among other things in which I have tried to and the city, I was instrumental in bringing the present street car system and natural gas to Topeka. EARL DUNN, Prec. H. J. BETTS, Hec. J. F.

I am now serving my third year in the city council and my third year an president of the Commercial Club. It is therefore to be hoped, inasmuch as Mr. Swendson and Mr. Green, the two other candidates for the mayorality, and myself, are all pledged to law enforcement, that there will be no bitterness, vampation or strife in the coming campaign. Yours for the 'Greater Topska.' G. K. HOLLIDAY. The announcement of Mr. Holiday reads well and no one questions his loyalty to Topeka, or his vital interest in the promotion of her welfare. Mr. Holliday is more modest in his announcement than he might have been. He says nothing about the high position he held as a commissioner of the World's Fair at Chicago, appointed by President Harrison, where he presided at many of the meetings of the commission, and audited bills aggregating enormous sums, filling the position with great credit. He does not refer to the honor conferred on him by President Cleveland in placing him in charge of diplomatic affairs in Venezuela. He commandably refers to the fact that all three candidates are pledged to law enforcement, and trusts that accordingly "there we are no baggers, vituperation or strife in the coming campaign."

This, having no relation to the monkey house, may be taken seriously. To enforce it by a fine challenge to the marksmanship of his men is the adroit pledge of sincerity on the part of the chief. Two bullets from his own revolver hit to let a fleeing culprit, but he hops his men "will be better markedmen." Perhaps they will, but as a rule the marksmanship is not one that others the "maniac" victim commonly estimates at its full worth. The chief recognizes this when he says, "These men are incapable home breakers, a mensace to the whole community, but our laws do not permit judges to impose punishment sufficient to stop their offenses, hence a bullet in one or two of the brutes will help the rest to understand the seriousness of their crimes. The logo of such a position is a wild one, a significant one, too, in the aptiation touching "the unwritten law," which recent events in various quarters has created. It moves a natural wonders as to how much more private shooting lynching and other demoralizing efforts at justice and awakening of brutes to the nature of their offenses will have to go on before the unwritten law becomes the written one, and laws offer some real and not century-off vindication of the rights of human beings, males or female, and some reasonable protection against the boastful crimes that can afflict society. When "Virginian plunged a dagger to the heart of the fair and beloved Virginia to save her from just such human friends as exist today, even pagan Rome was stirred with indignation against the tyrant Claudius. But when now the sense of justice in human breast recognizes the demand for vengeance against those who with more than a tyrant's arts entice and betray their victims, and fling innocent and guilty alike into the pit, their face has opened, men are actually found to call it "a maudlin sentiment." Fortunately, however, they are few—and growing fewer. Vindication Denied Women. vindication Deadly Wounds "The great soul of the world is put, and begins to discern that any law of self defense against the assailant who would destroy the body must hold doubly good against, with allusion to the covertly and indiscriminately strikes at the pierceess honor of the soul. It is the fashion today to demand one code of law and judgment for men and women alike, and the main, it is well. But Alexander Buman knew where to draw the law when he said, "Woman can never fall as low as man, because love has always had something to do with her fall." What terrible something that is, all the masters of literature have been trying to tell us in all ages. Nevertheless it is all Margaret who languages in jeal, for the sine of Fauat more than her own, and, save with the "Lombard girls" who, Roesch tells us, "wear daggers in their belts" and never sprave a betrayer, the vindication of such wrongs, either by the written or unwritten law, is still denied to woman Hence they go on—even though cases like "Billy Brown" draw tears from the eyes of grave lawyers and judges, and move the court itself to recognize that in her soul the victim was "pure" and her destroyer "a rat" by comparison in the scale of being Yet if the "rat" had not ankish his treating victim in the death waters, what vindication would the counts have allowed her for the far greater wrong done her by the demon who took aantage of the strength and unquestioning confidence of a "succere level." What, moreover, are they moved to do for the innocent young lives thrown upon a scourge world in the case of a father who refuses to give them the protection of his name or care! The sword of a distracted mother, caught in the toils of such a diagran and wrong, chasing the cold blooded perpetrator of it about the land, agoniously pleading with him to fulfill his pledges and save her children, ought to move something that could never be called a maudlin sentiment in the minds of just men, and suggest some legal provision for meeting such a case and holding a recurrent creature to some fine of decency and duty to helpless offspring whatever became of his outworn infestation. Pisa for the Women. The tragedy that calls the attention of a nation to the need of better legal treatment when better man are still lacking in any corner of the land may alter all be in the interest of the eternal mull of the gods that grind already but not only time. It may be all we wish for the torturous and audacious to write histories against the "woman in the crowd" and of the wound wrong in all men and there can be no question but the rotten and the poor. In the clast, could not not, but are moved only to pity and care. What I mention and appreciate of the putt-putt black woman and clothes in the lives of the angels to entrap the water, probably to steal in every vessel, like though many have told it. But no matter in the case, could not put it all in demand that it must be made. If should not have disguised and deserted Cling, flogged and numbered in world and if law has not tried to face this what really would the punishment of mankind have the benefit and outraged mother down in the earth she caught the domestic father hanging over her helpers' hands with an asses' kinshe she would be allowed to save at the price of the life. If fults him holding the Damn - black man over their guiltless soil what ever her own respitable should she plaint leave him to the deadly work No doubt the "washing out" of the *Bronze* will will eventually point the time of escape from all the strained business, but while women as high-minded and noble as she can become entangled in it, some do dealing with the vulnerable. Phones, who leave and tell them, should be divided in some quarters. The gallant chief of police who prepares to start the business with the street murderer says, significantly, "the men who are inpatient home breakers, the guilty of more than any wrong person who have no direct means of detainment themselves." That goes to the case of the matter. The means of detainment first to last against the whole line of offenses, the blackest in human history, is wholly inadequate or totally lacking. The perpetrators of their trade upon the pride and sensitivities of their victims to keep them under cover, down to the last stages of their dastardly work, and the "Jamband girls with daggers in their belts" are really the proper ones to deal with them. Curious that "our laws do not permit judges to impose a punishment sufficient to stop them." When a stab at character and honor means more in the eyes of the law than a stab at human flesh, probably this matter will right itself, and the being, whether sinned against or sinning, who can bring this truth to light, will benefit all subsequent ages, though dying in prison cell, or on ignominious scaffold. "Crimes sometimes shock us too much, vices almost always too little," says August Hare. Murder is a great crime, and a recognition of the sacredness of human life the safeguard of any society. Yet the time may come when, in the blackness of the toit, that in many cases leap up to it, murder will be seen to show almost white in comparisons. Death is by no means the worst thing that can come to mind, the bribery a specter of disdain into a woman's life is worse than the man who cuts her throat—and infinitely crueler. If murder could ever be justified (which is not saying that it could), it would be for such soulslayers—and even then the lines would not be equal. Tough a great hard has said that "if the course of justice none of us should see salvation" yet it is certain that our chances are better there than in the courses of injustice laboriously substituted for it in human history. Here, as elsewhere, it may be true that "the hearts are farther than the head" and that with all the coffling at sentiment, our greatest age was right when he said "every action is measured by the depths of sentiment from which it proceeds." Assuredly, no fair estimate can be made of an action without including the inner depths of feeling and motive from which it springs. With Justice Brewer and other lights of law and philosophy, Emerson also maintains that "the antidote to the abuses of formal government is in the influence of private character, the growth of the individual." That forenic thunderer, Carlyle, also sends the individual, "black in the face" and "near strangled with dictateant legislation," to cry out in his own behalf, "Jet me have show room, throat room, and I will not fail; 'sinews of war' he in me, untold sources towards the conquest of the planet, if, instead of hanging me, you husband it them and help me!" But, after all, it is the Puritan Mitten who best meets the need of our blind and troubled hour when he writes, "Men have sometimes, by transgressing, most truly kept the law."—Irene Clark Safford. POULTRY NOTES Male eggs have slick smooth surfaces. If the boiled egg adheres to the shell it is a fresh one. Small flocks or those of moderate size are most profitable. Overfeeding is more of an injury to fowl than underfeeding. Bran is not a good packing for eggs. Eggs packed thereon soon snell and taste mucky. Kneen the drinking vessels free from fith. Fathly drinking places are disease breeds. A hen of good breed ceases laying during the laying season only when out out of condition. A vigorous offspring come from well matured parents. Remember that in choosing your breeding stock next spring. Keep the hears busy even in cold weather by feeding them their grain among litter and letting them scratch it out. Milk in any form is both meat and drink for laying fowls, out also third drink for laying nests, supply it in abundance to them. Soft and thin shredded eggs are caused by a lack of time in the food. Give the bens access to plenty of grit, coarse sand or gravel and avoid them. Putting fowls for market is quite an industry these days. It is a thing that is easy to accomplish if the fowls appetite is properly tempted. Too much soft food is bad for a fowl. It tends to produce indigestion. The gizzard was made to grind food and when folded of its work the fowl does not do so well. Bread drying is coming to be almost the exclusive poultry food. Legghorn on kens are small eaters and good toasters. They are bright and in tingle of fowls, with a happy disposition, singing and cooking the greater part of their lives. The eggs are large and usually quite nutritive. In addition, is usually industrious. If you would keep your hens healthy then you probably forage every day. A nesting shed is almost a necessity during winter keep it well supported at litter changed frequently to coarse cloth. Many lardies are in varying pure bacon pâté at a point others lay pane bread stock and bread griddle. For most it imposes a high grade tawel not only of quite equal to a pure bacon breading units in poultry as well as in cattle. Not all lardies a chicken was a chicken but a chicken did tawel to the bovine the expression has developed the fact that lardies is much different in the quality of the dish of different brow- dies is more in the egg white --- I do not matter so much the kind of a poultry house one has when it comes to the question of poultry truths to many species of poultry. to no other thing of mine handle wit. It is and there are no other things in nature a exactly alike, so so with poultry houses, in two are alike. By the kind of poultry house is an natural. Every man may build to suit his purpose and his fancy and yet get good results in proper attention is paid to also details. We are not arguing against the building of warm, common house, but we do say that the lack of a poultry house built in accordance with the best ideas of advanced poultry house construction is not fatal to su- cessful poultry. We have seen a fair degree of profit made from houses that only the worst excuse of a poultry house for shelter. With the same men for woman and better equipment, it is likely that greater profits would have been obtained. Too much "caddling" as is fatal to the best results with poultry the little the bee house should be given due consideration. Whether it is a thousand dollar billing or a hay shed, it must be cared for in a manner as manner to keep it clean. Unliness is of more importance than most persons think. Some people think if their poultry house is "cleaned out" once or twice a year they have done their full duty. The fowls don't seem to mind standing or scratching in their own excrement, so why should the poultry house be cleaned out oftener? The result is that such people fail with poultry, as they should. Mites and lice thrive in proportion as the care of the poultry house is neglected. If you want to be a place that is literally aire with vermin go into an old poultry house that is seldom or never cleaned. Mites and lice are the bane of the poultryman. Keep the poultry and poultry house free from them and the probabilities are that your fowls will be free from other ailments. We are told that the healthy human body is not subject to disease, it is only when some part is weakened that the germs of disease are able to thrive. We believe that there is much truth in the statements and we believe that it applies equally well to poultry as to man. Mites and lice are living parasites. They exist by sacking the blood of their victims. The fowl, weakened by the loss of blood drawn by the mites are readily susceptible to any disease that happens along. Ily keeping the poultry houses clean and free from mites and, like your fowl will be more healthy and hardy. Clean the poultry house once a week or once every two weeks at least. Clean it thoroughly. Use plenty of lime and sulphur, plenty of whitewash and insect powder. What if you have to spend a dollar or so? You will get it back many fold. Change the litter in the scratching shed frequently or it will become foul and the breeding place of faith and verm. Light and ventilation are requisite to poultry houses but are not more so than thorough cleanliness. Poultry Manure. Great care should be exercised less the droppings of the farm poultry be allowed to go to waste. Besides being one of the roibest manures produced on the farm, it wastes very rapidly. Horse manure is generally recognized as one of the most valuable of the farm manures, yet compared to it poultry manure is three times as rich in nitrogen, six times as rich in phosphoric acid, and one and one half times as rich in potash. The importance of saving all of the poultry droppings must be easily apparent. More care must be exercised to save these droppings without loss than most other manures. Owing to its comparative dryness it ferments rapidly and much of the nitrogen is volatilized and escapes unless some preservative is added to it to prevent it. One of the best plans is to spread it direct about as rapidly as it is made and stir it at once into the soil. Or it may be mixed with the absorbents and manures obtained from the other farm animals, which will prevent its too rapid fermentation. Owing to its extreme richness, care must be taken not to spread it too thickly on cultivated ground less it cause the crop to "burn out." For a top dressing for garden truck light applications of poultry dressings thoroughly mixed with fine loam and a small quantity of finely ground land litter is unequalled. Eating a "Hell-Bender" A live "hell bender" considered the highest amphibian that inhabits the Pennsylvania streams, and always regarded as poisonous, after eaten, was received at the state economic ecologist's department recently, and two of the bugs and snake students got into an argument as to whether the water dog or fresh water alligator was edible. It called in the "hell bender" forming the new resistance at their Thanksgiving day dinner, and after the "bird" had been eaten all pronounced it delicious. This is the first recorded instance of the amphibian those eggs ate. A Relationship Tangle In the marriage of Isaac totton and Miss Sarah Frances at Yardley, Pa. the deadly tungled relations of the Garton and Francis families become more connected. The father of the triple, George Ivan, some time ago married a sister of a bachelor, and a brother of the wife is the husband of a sister of the very bachelor. This mother, George Ivan, father in law to his own daughter, and the daughter in law to her father, and sister in law to his brother in law to his mother.

A correspondent at Wilkesbarre, Pw writes as follows: "John Davenport, an aged farmer of Hunlock's creek, was arrested before Magistrate Brown charged with committing assault and battery on his young wife, Dorie. After the fair plaintiff had told her story on the witness stand and given a detailed account of how she had been abused, the aged husband said: "It is not true. I always treated her kindly. Anphow, I only married her to keep my feet warm in winter." Magistrate Brown said the weather prophets were predicting that this was going to be a cold winter, and he thought Davenport's feet would be quite cold if he did not have a "warmer." The old man admitted that that would be the case, and when the wife was appealed to she said she would forgive him, and the couple made up and kissed, leaving the alderman's office arm in arm. THE best selling stock, whether it be horses, cattle, swine, or what not, is in the long run the kind that makes its owner a profit. It takes less feed and less time to fatten out a bunch of well bred steers or hogs than one of mongrel breeding and consequently lack of quality, and the well bred cattle or swine when put on the market will sell SIRE. for from $1 to $3 per hundred weight more than the "scrub" stuff. It would seem, then, that more farmers would raise well bred stock. The percent of pure bred stock grown in the United States in comparison to the total number is exceedingly small. It is an indisputable fact that cattle of short-born blood predominate in the United States yet the total number of Short-born cattle recorded to date is only 89,400. It is estimated that not over 35 per cent of those are now living, or a total of only 41,300. Of the millions of cattle in the United States less than a half million are pure bred. What an indictment against the American farmer! It is little wonder the quality of our cattle is so poor. There is ample room for more breeders of pure bred cattle. Were there a dozen breeders of pure bred cattle to where there now is one there would still be room for more and the profit in breeding would be quite as much as at present. The proportion of pure bred horses to the total number of horses is less than that of cattle. The same may be said of sheep. Probably the proportion of pure bred hogs is a little greater than that of other kinds of stock but even it is rationally small. The number of breeders of pure bred swine is comparatively large and getting larger. At the same time the demand for pure bred hogs outruns the supply. We need more pure bred stock breeders of every kind. Now what is the reason for the predominance of the "acrob" in all lines of breeding? New farmers question the superiority of well bred stock and yet they continue to breed the "acrob". There must be some fundamental misconception regarding the breeding of good stock else more of it would be produced. If we can discover what this misconception is we shall have arrived at the cause of the error, then having discovered the cause we can point out the remedy. We have given much thought to the question of "acrob" stock and have arrived at the conclusion that the root of the soil lies in the use of the grade size. We have come to regard the grade size as the base of the breeding business. There are maternal animals belonging to the pumkin classes but in pure bred size must be very mature if he be not better than the best grade size, the on the other is not hard to master. In all animals there are two tender and one to reproduce themselves and another to reproduce some ancestor more or more. Pureed animals are those that have been bred along line units a certain definition type has been fixed these animals will reproduce themselves with certainty. When a pureed body is used the pathome of a dog is not of course for certain types of animals but in the program thus to there both will invariably stop to get a way to face, the Angus or other way will remove the pathome. Short both will get a drive with blood, deep holes. Whatever the type of the one the tendency is to reproduce from its offspring. Now the influence of new blood tend to be up long established tend not in proportion as the likelihood of desirable qualities being produced is low that of bringing forth undesirable qualities is increased. This is exactly what happens when a grade size is used that can not tell with my degree or certainty what type of animal will be produced by the grade size. One of his got may be of this type, another of that, and the minority will be of no particular type, will be a mixture of several types, or only works in "sumb" Unanimity of types places the top even of the type he not the most bona- fide. A grade one holds the power to begat outspring of an uncommon type of any kind, he is a monarchy, an amity with each child. Him however he is will appearing individual the average mon is devoted. In an amity mon only to the child, liking the other paint or the animal, belongs to him, not so wang that the grade is an uneer tion than as a more nor why there are not the themes to account for the park site's inability to take him self. Perhaps there is a desire of truth in each and more than likely there is at least correct. But for practical pur- pose it is not essential that we know --- the why and the wherefore of everything, nor need we know this. What we do need to know in this connection is thus: The grade site lacks the power to reproduce any particular type in his gut and should be avoided whenever possible. The doing away with the grade site would accomplish more in the way of improvement of American live stock than any other one thing. FARM NOTES The heavy coating of ice on the trees caused much damage by breaking branches, limbs and even whole trees. The damage to orchards is especially great. The excessive rainfall has put a stop to plowing for the time being. The farmer who has a goodly number of acres plowed is in luck. Selecting seed corn and making germination tests of the same is an excellent and profitable way to spend the rainy days between now and planting time. Barbed wire is cheaper than it was thirty years ago, cheaper per pound, but we are not so sure but it is costlier in the long run. It doesn't take ordinary barb wire long to rust out these days. Speaking of barb wire reminds us that quality is a thing lost sight of these days. The demand is ever for something cheaper. Things are made to sell nowadays, not to last. Even by paying a good round sum we are not issued of good goods. Sometimes we almost doubt if there are any really good goods manufactured. The roads have been pretty good thus far but now they are almost impossible. How much better it would be if our public roads were intensively worked instead of extensively. It seems to us the theory of intensive rather than extensive farming might well be applied to road making. If your farm is afflicted (?) with hedge fences now is a good time to work some of the wood up into fence posts and fire wood. A hedge fence is a poor piece of property nowadays. Still hedge posts of fair size are about the best on the market. Don't make wood of trees suitable for fence posts. Every farmer should now be planning for a fruit garden. To one who is unacquainted with the luxury of having fresh fruit in season of any and all kinds adapted to this latitude we will say you are missing much. Every farmer owes it to himself and his family to have an ample fruit garden. This has been peculiar weather for January. It is more like April. Fog, rain and mud is bad enough in warm weather but is much more disagreeable in winter. We prefer cold weather to mud every time. If the spring of 1907 is not one of the most backward on record we shall be agreeably surprised. In Germany there is an absence of large orchards as we know them, but along the roadside and in every garden fruit trees are abundant. How would it do for us to imitate the Germans in the planting of trees along public highway? There is there as much valuable land lympia field as there is woodland to weeds within the road limits that is doing nobody good. Our public roads and our railroads have mostly as much again land as a right of way as is needed. If this alle land was utilized for growing of fruit how much better it would be for all concerned. Let us try planting a few trees by the roadside than spring. We will never regret it. We notice accounts in several papers of great rabbit hunts in which many hunters participate. It is a good thing for the country that these hunts take place but a bad advertisement for the locality in which they occur. To our mind rabbits are an unmitigated nuisance and we would hate to live in a locality where they were numerous. Our plan for keeping them relatively scarcen on our farm is not only to kill all we ourselves can conveniently but also to allow all responsible hunters the privilege of hunting rabbits as they please. We have no doubt but that some of these hunters kill a quail occasionally but we are till of the rabbits, which is a great deal of satisfaction. The rural mail carrier comes as nearly earning his money nowadays as he ever does. The worst thing he encounters is the mud. Muddy roads are aggravating to the driver and hard on the team. We are heartily in flavor of a parcel post system, but none can be unimaginated and carried out until the condition of our country roads is greatly improved. We should like to see the government take hold of the good roads movement. A million dollars is a vast sum of money, but that much and more can be spent to a great advantage on our public roads. The national government is the legal good lumber.

Nakahize Hozuml, 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 means. The method employed has been conservative, recognizing for the time being 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 worships 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 1868 followed this tradition in addressing itself to the officials of the empire. When the second code was proclaimed, however, in 1872, the emperor's subjects, as well as his officials, were commanded to obey it, and it was declared that "honor-ferth 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 here. 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 new are practically limited to certain rights connected with ancestor worship and control over the marriage of subdivide 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 medieval 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 enabbed this pretentious individual and caused his retali, 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 appraised, 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 speaking the names of hammurian villages.
