Wm. H. Lewis, the innocent victim of this racial discrimination. Attorney General Wickersham has since declared that he would tender his resignation as a member of the great organization, if its members should ratify the illegal action of its committee.

Dear Sir:—I thank you for your letter of March 5th, informing me that you had written to the Attorney General, commending his action in the matter of the attempted expulsion of myself from the American War Association. It is certainly a source of great satisfaction to have your approval of his course in the matter. I dislike very much the nervosity and embarrassment attending the residing of such an law, but there seemed to me to be a principle involved, which ought to be fought for a finish. OFFERED HSE SERVICES When I want to the Attorney General with the subject, I simply asked permission to fight for myself and be said, "All rights, go through. Let me use the development." After he had read this subpoena, he said, "Now you just kill it alone. Let this have the whole thing. I will return to it." myself and also one for a "cut." haven't any "cut" myself.

PRICE. FIVE CENTS. Barred from ion is Confirmed. United States. Mr. Lincoln and Slavery. Warren, Tenn., March 4, 1912. Mr. John Mitchell, Jr. Dear Editor and Brother--Will you please allow me a small space in your great Negro paper to ask a few questions for information about President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation. As so much has been said about Mr. Lincoln's Proclamation freeing all the Negroes, I think the time has come that we should set before our children the truth. I claim that his proclamation did not free all the Negroes according to histories. President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation only declared free all slaves in the seceding States if his aim was to free all the slaves why did he, when Freemont proclaimed martial law in Missouri and declared the slaves of rebels free men, a declaration which the President modified so as to restrict its operation to slaves actually assisting the rebellion. Also General Hunter issued a proclamation declaring South Carolina, Georgia and Florida under martial law and clauses in these States free. This declaration the President overruled as he had done in the case of President's proclamation in Missouri. Now, I claim that the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution which was proposed in 1866 and was adopted in 1866, in what freed all the Negroes. Mr. Editor, I wish to get the view of our who once landed on this most important question as our roses is an early divided on this question. Poems for the race. May the dead of peace help no to teach our children the truth. A SPLENDID HAZARD BY HAROLD MACGRATH SYNOPSIS In Paris Fitzgerald meets Karl Brettman, a mysterious adventurer, and sees beautiful American girl, who interests the Britman dream of securing Lille-Drone. Forced a French detective and butterfly collector, is shadowing Brettman for France, whose safety he impales. Germany is also interested in Brettman. In New York Fitzgerald meets Calebwa. Fitzgerald on a wager poses as an Italian young woman asks him to call at a home in Dalton. The house is owned by Admiral Killgriew. The beautiful young woman, Miss Laura Killgriew, asks him to become her father's secretary and clear up a mysterious taped house. A burial alarm never have been tampered. Brettman instead of Fitzgerald is enclosed as the admiral's secretary. Hunting pirate's treasure is the admiral's bobby. His ancient home had been owned by a French exile. Laura tells Brettman about the strange noise in the big chimney of the house. Fitzgerald and Brettman plan to trap the pirate who is seeking something in the chimney. Some one has been tampering with Breitmann's trunk. Fitzgerald and Breitmann and loosened brick in the chimney and a chalk diagram. The admiral partly dismantles the chimney, and Breitmann finds paper describing how he in Corseau by soldiers of Napoleon to aid his return to power. The admiral plans to take his daughter, Fitzgerald, Breitmann and others to Corseau on his yacht. Catheve and Hildegarde von Mitter are invited. Barraud meets the admiral and gets an invitation. Fitzgerald learns that Breitmann has died to him. Both are in love with her. Fitzgerald accuses Ferraud of having explored the chimney. Ferraud admits that he is a French detective. Hildegarde still loves Breitmann, who has filmed her. Catheve loves Hildegarde. Breitmann and Catheve quarrel over Hildegarde, of whom Breitmann speaks in complimentary terms. The admiral calls for Corseau on the treasure hunt. CHAPTER XIII. THE yacht Laura, sleek and swan white, her cushion and colors folding and unfolding, lifting and sinking as the afternoon breeze stirred them, was making ready for sea, and many of the villagers had come down to the water front to see her off. "Wonder what poor devil of a pirate is going to have his bones turned over this trip?" said the station agent to Mr. Donovan, who, among others on the station platform, watched the drab anchor as N clanked jerkly upward to the bows, leaving a swivel and a boll on the waters which had released it so grudgingly. "I guess it isn't goin' to be any of pirate this time," replied Mr. Donovan with a pleasurable squeeze of the pocketbook over his heart. "III. There she goin' Good luck!" cried the station agent, swinging his hat with gusto. The voyagers were gathered about the stem gall and a handkerchief or two buttered in the wind. For an bour they turned there, keeping in view the green wooded hills and the white cottages nesting at their base. And turn by turn there were glimpses of the noble old house at the top of the hill. And some hooked upon it for the last time. "I've had a jolly time up there," said Fitzgerald. "The gulls swooped as they crossed and recessed the milky wake. "Butter time than I deserved." "Are you still worried about that adventure?" Laura demanded. "Dismiss it from your mind, and let it be as if we had known each other for many years." "Do you really mean that?" "To be sure I do," promptly. "But Mrs. Coldfield had given me a guarantee before I addressed you." There never was a girl quilt like this one. He partitioned a sliding glance at her. The rich pigment in the blood mantled her checks, and in her eyes there was still a bit of captive sunshine. He knew now that what had been only a possibility was "You are shrugging!" she cried, not noting the expression, for if he was secretly observing her she was surreptitiously contemplating his own advantages. "Did I shrug?" "Too certainly did." "Well," candidly, "it was the thought of money that made me do it." "I detest it too." "Good heavens, I didn't say I detested it!" What I shrugged about was my own dreary lack of it. "Hackers do not require much." "That's true, but I no longer desire to remain a bachelor." The very that that saved him was the added laughter, forced, miserably forced. Fool! The words had slipped without him thinking. "Grievous! That sounds horribly like a proposal." She beamed upon him. merdir. And his heart mank, for he had been earnest enough for all his blunder. Manlike, he did not grasp the fact that under the circumstance merriment-was all she could offer him if she would save him from his own stupidity. Then of a sudden the red rim of the WILLI JONES "GRACTOUS! THAT BOUNDNS HORRIBLY LIKE A PHONOAL" sun vanished behind the setting landscape, and all the grim loneliness of the sea rose up to greet them. "It is lonely. Let us go and prepare for dinner. Look!" pointing to a bright star far down the cast. "And Corsica lies that way." "And also madness!" was his thought. "Oh. It rooms not quite true that we are all going adventuring as they do in the story books. The others think we are just going to Funchal. Remember, you must not tell. Think of it. A real treasure, every frame of which must tell a story of its own—love, heroism and devotion." "Beautiful! But there must be a rescuing of princesses and fighting and all that. I choose the part of remaining by the princess." "It is yours." She tilted back her head and breathed and breathed. She knew the love of living. "Lucky we are all good sailors," he said. "There will be a fair sea on all night. But how well she rides?" "I love every beam and bolt of her." Shoulder to shoulder they bore forward to the companionway, and immediately the door hanged after them. Breitmann came out from behind the funnel and walked the deck for a time. He had studied the two from his shelter. What were they saying? Oh, Fitzgerald was clever and strong and good to look at, but—Breitmann straightened his arms before him, opened and shut his hands violently. Like that he would break him if he interfered with any of his desires. It would be fully twenty days before they made Ajacello. Many things might happen before that time. Two or three of the crew were lashing on the rail canvas, and the snap and fap of it jarred on Brettmann's nerves. For a week or more his nerves had been very close to the surface, so close that it had required all his will to keep his voice and hands from shaking. As he passed one of the sailors dotted his cap and bowed with great respect. "That's not the admiral, Alphonse," whispered another of the crew, chuckling. "It's only his private secretary." "Ah, I hate mistake!" But Alphonse had made no mistake. He knew it it was. His mates did not see the smile of irony, of my ridicule, which stirred his lips as he bowed to the passer. Immediately his rather handsome effeminate face resumed a utidial vulture. His name was not Alphouse. It was a captious offering by the crew, which on this yacht never went further than to tolerate the addition of a foreigner to their mess. He had signed a day or two before sailing. He had even begged for the honor to ship with Captain Flanagan, and he gave his name as Pierre Flard, to which he had no more right than to Alphouse. As Captain Flanagan was too good a sailor himself to draw distinctions, he was always glad to add a foreign tongue to his crew. You never could tell when its use might come in handy. That is why Pierre Flard was allowed to drink his soup in the forecaste mors. Brittman continued on, oblivious to all things save his capitulations. He swung round the bridge. He believed that he and Kathie could henceforth proceed on parallel lines, and there was much to be grateful for. Cathwe had quiet, but, deep, and, he Britman, had knocked about among that sort and knew that they were to be suspected. In all he had made only one serious blunder. He should never have permitted the vision of a face to deform him. He should have taken the things from the safe and vanished. It had not been a master bit compunction. And yet, he was human, whatever the dream might be! And he loved this beautiful American girl with all his heart and soul. It was not in wives love, but in wives romance. When the time was fine he twined Him. Only a little while now he waited. This course had smoothed only the skin that was easy. The man in the chair had no longer bothered him. Woman and whatever he was, he had not that his belt soon enough. Hildegarde von Mitter—was also to be the Saw in the chain? No, no; there should be no regret. He had studied his heart against any such weakness. He had been necessary, and he would be a feel to pause over a bit of sadnessality. Her appearance had the organised his nerves; that was all. Fearing into his watch, he found that he had only half an hour before dinner. And it may be added that he dressed with singular care. So did Fitzgerald, for that matter, and it took Cathewe just as long. And this night Hildegarde von Mitter was meditating on the last throw for her hopes. She determined to cast once more the full sun of her beauty into the face of the man she loved, and if she failed to win the fault would not be hers. Never again would the splendor of her beauty burn as it did this night. Laura, alone among them all, went seriously about her toilet. She was young, and love had not yet spread its puzzle before her feet. On the bridge the first officer was standing at the captain's side. "Captain," he shouted, "where did you get that Frenchman?" "Picked him up day before yettidty. Speak fair English an' a bit o' dage. They're allus handy on a pleasure boat. He'e can keep off the riffle boatmen. Ab' you know what persistent cusses they be in the Med'terranean. Why?" "Oh, nothing, if he's a good sailor. Notice his hands?" "Why, no." "Soft as a woman's." "X' don't say. Well, we'll see 'm tough enough before we sight funchal." There was one vacant chair in the dining salon. M. Ferraud was indisposed. He could climb the highest peak, he could cross ice ridges with a sheer mile on either side of blim, with never an attack of vertigo, but this beating mystery under his feet always got the better of him the first day out. He considered it the one flaw in an otherwise perfect system. Thus he missed the comedy and the tragedy of the eyes at dinner nor saw a woman throw her all and lose it. "Is there anything I can do for you?" asked Fitzgerald, venturing his head into M. Ferraud's cabin. "Nothing. Tomorrow it will gill be gone. I am always so. The miserable water?" M. Ferraud drew the blanket under his chin. "When you are better I should like to ask you some questions." "My friend, you have been very good. I promise to tell you kill when the time comes. It will interest you." Fitzgerald shut the door and returned to the smoking room. Something or other concerning Breitmann—he was sure of it. What had he done or what was he going to do that France should watch him? There was no doubt in his mind now. Breitmann had known of this treasure and had come to the Pines simply to put his hands on the casket. Then M. Ferraud had tried to foreseal him. This much of the riddle was plain. But the pivots upon which these things turned: There was something more than a treasure in the balance. Well, M. Ferraud had told him to wait. There was nothing else for him to do. A little rubber at bridge was in progress. The admiral was playing with Mrs. Coldfeld, and Catheme sat opposite Hildegarde. The latter two were using. She was ordinarily a skillful player, as Catheme knew, but tonight she lost constantly, was reckless with her leads and played carelessly into her opponents' hands. Catheme watched her gravely. Never had she seen her more beautiful, and the apprehension that she would never be his was like a hand straining over his heart. How many times he stood on the precipe during the dinner hour Brettmann doubtless would never be told. A woman scorned is an old story, still, the story goes on, retold each day. The red tueses of revenge danced before Hildegarde von Mittert's eyes, blurring the spots on the cards, the blackness of depair crowding upon each fash. Let him beware! With a word she could shatter his dream-age, and so she would. What-alt there and let him turn the knife in her heart and receive the pain meekly? No. It was the thoughtless brutality with which he went about this new affair that bit so polygantly. With all her beauty, intellect, genius and generosity, she had not been able to stir him as this young girl was unconsciously doing. She held no animosity for the daughter of her host. She was clear visioned enough to put the wrong where it belonged. "It is your lead;" said the admiral patiently. "Pardon me," contritely. The gentle reproach brought her back to the surroundings. "It is the motion of the boat," insnared Catheme as he saw her lead the ace. "I often find myself losing count in waiting for the next roll." "Mr. Catheme is very kind," she replied. "The truth is, however, I am simply stupid tonight." Brittmann continued to speak lowly to Laura. "He was evidently amusing, for she amided frequently. Nevertheless she amided as often upon Fitzgerald—never a glance toward the woman who held his fortunes, as they both believed, in the hollow of her head. Brittmann appeared to have forgotten her existence. When the rubber was finished Cthowe came into the broach by suggesting that they two, he and his partner, should take the air for awhile, and Hildagde thanked him with her eyes. They trumped the post with anything nothing, but thinking much. The firm was under no such bar, and he could feel the cushion grip them also untied, as when one stills out them any further. Ah, to hold her close and to adjust her, but a stiller arm may get lowererview history the latest and the pane that he knelt. He knelt he knew all things and knew every thing in his imagination, knowing he thought was of darkness. He knew what his purpose and to do it was with their body handed. She had been supported in the art of motion, but not in the art of dimming light. She had been of the world without having been worldly, and consciousness she was of frank and simple in a child. And wordless makes a bed in times like these. Catherine thanked God for his own shell, toughened as it had been in the war of life. They paused by the rail. Without warning she bent swiftly and kissed his hand, which lay upon the rail. "How kind you are to me!" "Oh, pahw!" But the touch of her lime shook his soul. Oathew was one of those sure quiet men, a staff to lean on, that a woman may find once in a lifetime. They are as a usual thing always leaving deeply and without success, but always invariably cheerful and buoyant—genuine philosophers. He knew that the whole heart of Hildagarde von Mitter had yielded to another. But it had been thrown, as it were, against a wall. There was this one hope, dimly burning, that some day he might catch it on the rebound. "Why are not all men like you?" she asked. "The world would not be half so interesting. Some men shall be fortunate and others shall not. Everything has to balance in some way." "To have met you," childishly. "Don't talk like that. It always makes me less and than furious. We'll go on as we have done in the past, good friends. Call me when you need me, and wherever I am I shall come." "How plifully weak I must seem to you." "You would be no happier if you wore a mask. Hildegarde, what has happened? What power has this adventurer over you? I cannot understand. He was man enough to say that you were guiltless of any wrong." "He said that? turning upon him sharply. She could forgive much. He could not see her face, but by the tone of her voice he knew it had brightened. "Hildegarde," and he pressed his hand down hard over hers. "I could find a priest the day we land if you would love me. You will always remember that." "As if I could ever forget your kindness! Much as I know him there are still some unified pages. I would call him a grounded did I not know that in parts he has been a hero What sacrifices the man has made and with what patience." "To what end?" quietly. "No, no. Arthur! I have promised him." He took her by the arm roughly. "Let us make two or three rounds and go back. We shan't grow any more cheerful talking this way." "He loves her. I saw it in his eyes, and I must stand aside and watch!" "So must it," he said. "Aren't you just a little selfish, Hildegard?" "I am wretched, Arthur, and I am a fool besieged. Oh, that I were cold blooded like your women that I could eat out my heart in secret, but I can't, I can't!" "But you have courage. Only use it. If what you say of him is true rest easy. She is not in his orbit. She will not be impressed by an adventurer of his breed." "Thank you!" with a broken laugh. "I am only an opera singer, here on sufferance." "Oh, I did not mean it that way. Let us finish the walk," savagely. On the afternoon of the second day out tea was served under the awning, and Captain Flanagan coudescended to leave his bridge for half an hour. "Say," said the captain, drinking his tea, but because he liked it, but because it was customary. "I've got a character forwards. I'm allus shippin' olds and ends. Got a Frenchman, hands like a lady." Breitmann leaned forward, and M. Ferrand sat up. "Yes sir," continued the captain, "speaks Italiano an' English. An' if WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH SIR HANDSY ANKED THE ADMIRAL. I ever meet a lady with long, soft hands like his I'm for a pert talk straightway." "What's the matter with his hands?" asked the admiral. "Why, commodoore, they're as soft as Miss Laura's bore, an' yet when th' big Swede who handles th' baggage was a foolish' with him this morrin' it was the Swede who bags off. Nary a callous, an' yet he bowls th' big one round th' deck like he who a liner bels' placed by a many tag. An' what gets me is he knows every bolt from stem to stern, air, 'n all around good earl lock, th' burgain, an' it does not take me more a twelve hours' find that out. Well, I'm off-' th' bridge. Good day, ladies. Brittannia runs promptly and commuted servicing within it. Perused angled down in his rage again. The women entered into a game of duck winning. But it. Perused was not so ill that he was unable to meet from his side half after half without sleep. the second time he wore a shirt. It hung on his neck and he looked about the door with the shirt on his neck. It was the proper way to wear it. He and his fellow guests from the wish. One he knew and expected. Brettman's. Of the other he was not sure. Though the French he spoke was of elastic smoothness. M. Brettman was consistently interested. He had been waiting for this meeting. Only a phrase or two could be heard distinctly. But words were not necessary. What he desired above all things was a glimpse of this Frenchman's face. After several minutes Brettman went aft. M. Brettman stepped out cautiously, and luck was with him. The tailor to whom Brettman had spoken so earnestly was loiling against the rail in the act of lighting a cigarette. The light, from the match was feeble, but M. suffered the keen eyes of the watcher. He gasped a little. Strong hands indeed! Here in the garb of a common sailor was one of the foremost Orientalists in France! CHAPTER XIV LIKING IS NEVER LOVING; BREITMANN and the admiral usually worked from 10 till luncheon unless it was too stormy, and then the admiral took the day off. The business under hand was of no great moment. It was rather an outlet for the admiral's energy and gave him something to look forward to as each day came round. Many a morning be longed for the quarterdeck of his old battleship. Since his country had no further use for him and as it was as necessary as air to his lungs that be tread the deck of a ship he had purchased the Laura. "That will be all this morning, Mr. Breitmann," he said, rising and looking out of the porthole. "Come in, Laura, come in." The girl stood framed in the low doorway, a charming picture to the old man and a lovely one to the secretary. She balanced herself with a hand on each side of the jam. "Father, how can you work when the sun is so beautiful outside? Good morning, Mr. Hibbittmann," cordially. "Good morning." "Work is over, Laura. Come in." The admiral reached forth an arm and caught her, drawing her gently in and finally to his breast. Brettmann would have given an eye for that right. The picture set his nerveswitching. "I am got in the way?" "Not at all," answered the secretary. "I was just leaping." And with good foresight he passed out. "A thing of beauty is a joy forever," murmured the admiral. "Fudge!" And she laughed. "We are burgling a fine voyage." "Splendid! Why is it that I am, always happy?" "It is because you do not depend upon others for it, my dear. I am happy too. I am as happy as a boy with his first boat. But never has a ship gone slower than this one of mine. I am simply crazy to drop anchor in the gulf of Ajaccio. I find it on the tip of my tongue every night at dinner to tell the others where we are bound." "Why not? Where's the harm now?" "I don't know, but something keeps it back. Laura," looking into her eyes. "did we ever cruise with brighter men on board?" "What is it you wish to know, father?" merrily. "You dear old sailor, don't you understand that these men are different? They are men who accomplish things. They haven't time to bother about young women." "You don't say!" plinking the car nearest. "This is the seventh day out, and not one of them has ceased to be interesting yet." "Would they cease to be interesting if they proposed?" quizzing. These two had no unshared secrets. They were sure of each other. He knew that when this child of his divided her affection with another man that man would be deserving. "I would rather have them all as they are. They make fine comrades." He sighed thankfully. "Arthur seems to be out of the race." "Mather say I am!" with laughter. "Why, a child could read Arthur Cahowne's face when he broke at his. Isn't she simply beautiful?" "Very. But there are types and types. What do you think of Mr. Brettmann?" soberly. "He is charming sometimes, but he has a little too much reserve. Doubtless he sees his position too keenly. He should not." "Do you like him?" "Yes." frankly. "So do I, and yet there are moments when I do not." The admiral filled his pipe carefully. "But your reason?" surprised. "That's just the trouble. I haven't any tangible reason. The doubt exists, and I can't explain it. Flanagan will tell you." The girl grew studious and grave. Had there not been an echo of this doubt in her own mind? Immediately she smiled. "We are talking nonsense and wasting the sunshine." "How about Fitzgerald?" "Oh, he's the most sensible of them all. He proposed to me the first night out." "What?" The admiral dropped his pipe. "Not so loud!" she warned. And then the clear music of her laughter penetrated beyond the cabin, and Fitzgerald, wandering about without purpose, beard it and passed. "You minz!" growled the admiral. "To scare your old father like that!" "Dearest, weren't you asking to be scared!" "Let's get out into the sunshine. I never could get the best of you. But you really don't mind"— "I really do not. He's too bony tail me the plot of this novel he is going to write to make love to a girl who doesn't want more than one man to the family, and that's her fostered and father." And they went outside, arm in arm, together like the good ones. mind they own. Pearson viewed the thin brown shadow. But when he saw it, A. M. had heard he had lightened the shadow, with a single spark of light in it. It foul for his skin. He hardly gathered with wooden magnifying luggage for land. He could not get away from this rock. On head they would have been a hundred straight lines to the woods and the fisherman's philosophy. "The villain?" He was moved suddenly out of his dream, for the object of it stood making at his side. A wisp of hair was blowing across his eye, and she was enervating to adjust it under her cap. "The villain?" making a fine effort to remarkal his thoughts. "Yes. We were talking about him last night. Where did you leave him?" "He was still nursing. I believe." She propped her elbows on the rail. It was a seductive pose and came very near being the young man's ending. "Dogs it seem impossible to you." she said, "that in these priceless times we are treasure hunting? Must we not wake up and find it a dream?" "Most dreams are perishable, but in this case we have the dream tightly bound. But what are we going to do with all this money when we find it?" "Divide it or start a soldiers' home. I've never thought of it as money." "Heaven knows, I have?" "Why?" "Do you really wish to know?" in a voice new to her ear. "Do you wish to know why I want money, lots and lots of it?" She dropped her arms and turned. The tone agitated and alarmed her strangely. "Why, yes. With plenty of money you could devote all your time to writing, and I am sure you could write a splendid story." "That was not my exact thought," he replied, resolutely polling himself together. "But it will serve." By George, he thought, that was close enough. She did not ask him what his exact thought was, but she suspected it. There was a little shock of pleasure and disappointment, the one rising from the fact that he had stopped where he did and the other that he had not gone on. And she grew angry over his second expression. She liked him. She had never met a young man whom she liked more. But liking is never loving, and her heart was as free and unburdened as the wind. One day, they dropped anchor in the sapphire bay of Funchal, in the summer calm, hot and glaring—Funchal, with its dense tropical growth, its cloud wreathed mountains, its amethysty sisters in the faded southeast. And for two days while Captain Flanagan recooled they played like children, jolting round in the low bullock cart, climbing the mountains or bumping down the corduroy road. It was the strangest treasure hunt that ever left a home port. It was more like a page out of a boy's trolic than a sober quest by grownups. That danger, menace and death hid in covert would have appended to them (those who know) as ridiculous, impossible, obsolete. The story of cutlens and plato and high boots had been molding in archives these eighty odd years. Dangers? From whom? From what direction? No one suggested the possibility, even in jeet, and the only man who could have advanced with reasonable assurance that danger, real and serious, existed was too busy apparently with his butterfly net. Still, he had not yet been consulted. He was not supposed to know that this cruise was weighted with something more than pleasure. Fitzgerald waited with an impatience which often choked him. A secret agent had not no adroitly joined this expedition for the pleasure of seeing a treasure dug up from some reluctant grave. What was he after? If indeed Breitmann was directly concerned, if he knew of the treasure's existence, of what benefit now would be his knowledge? A share in the finding at most. And was Breitmann one who was conditioned of such easy stuff that he would rather be sure and share than to strike out for all the treasure and all the risks? The more he gave his thought to Breitmann the more that gentleman retreated into the fog, so it were. On several occasions he had notified signs of a preoccupation, of suppressed excitement, of silence and moroseness. Fitzgerald could join certain squares of the puzzle, but this led forward scarcity a step. Breitmann had entered the employ of the admiral for the very purpose for which M. Ferraud had journeyed sudely into the cellar and beaten fultily on the chimney. It resolved to one thing, and that was the secretary and arrived too late. He was sure that Breitmann had no suspicion regarding M. Ferraud. But for a casual glance at the little man's hands neither would he have had any. He determined to prod M. Ferraud. He was well trained in repression. So, while he often lost patience, there was never any external sign of it. Besides, there was another affair which overshadowed it and at times engulfed it. Love. The crossides of sense and sentiment make a pretty disturbance. And, still further, there was another countertide. Love does not necessarily make a young man keen sighted, but it generally highly develops his talent for suspicion. By subtle gradations Breitmann had shifted in Fitzgerald's mind from a possible friend to a probable rival. Breitmann did not now court his society when the smoking bouts came round or when the steward brought the whisky and soda after the ladies had retired. Breitmann was moody, and whatever variance his mooda had they retained the gray tone. This Fitzgerald man and dilated upon, and it ranked when he thought that this hypocritical adventurer. had rights, level and equal to him, always supposing he had any. In this state of mind he droppedilly over the rail as the yacht drew out of the bay the evening of the second day. "Way my耳," said Catherine, snapping affectionately against Pinggong, "here we are, raised over again." "What?" Catherine dwarfified & above with his WILL JOYES "AM I WALKING ABOUND WITH A HIGH ON MY BACK?" singer laxily. "Oh!" said Fitzgerald, listless. "Another day more or less crowded into the past doesn't matter." "Maybe. If we could only have the full days and deposit the others and draw as we need them, but we can't do it. And yet each day means something. There ought always to be a little of it worth remembering." "Old parson!" cried Fitzgerald with a jab of his elbow. "All bally rot, eh? I wish I could look at it that way. Yet when a man mopes as you are doing, when this sun set—" "New one every day." "What's the difficulty. Jack?" "Am I walking around with a sign on my back?" testily. "Of a kind, reel." "Suppose," said Ritzgrand in a low voice, "suppose." But he couldn't go on. "Yes, suppose," said Cathewe, taking up the broken thread, "suppose there was a person who had a heap of money or will have some day, and suppose there's another person who has but little and may have less in days to come. Is that the supposition, Jack?" "That's the supposition." "Well, money counts only when you buy horses and yachts and houses. It never really matters in anything else." "It is easy to say that." "It is also easy to learn that it is true." "Can't there a good deal of buying these days where there should be giving." "Not among real people. You have had enough experience with both types to be competent to distinguish the one from the other. You have birth and brains and industry. You're a decent sort of chap besides." genially. "Can money buy these things when grounded on self respect as they are in you? Come along now, for the admiral sent me after you." When one has journeyed for days on the quiet sea, a touch of land underfoot renews. Ancestors, one's strength and mental activity, so a festive spirit presided at the dinner table. The admiral determined to vault the enforced repression of his secret. Inasmuch as it must be told, the present seemed a propitious moment. He signed for the attendants to leave the salon and then rapped on the table for silence. He obtained it easily enough. "My friend," he began, "where do you think this boat is really going?" "Marmollies" answered Coldfield. "Where else?" cried M. Ferraud, as if diversion from that course was something of an improbability. "Corsica. We can leave you at Marseilles, M. Ferraud. If you wish, but I advise you to remain with us. It will be something to tell in your old age." Cathewne glanced across to Fitzgerald as if to ask: "Do you know anything about this?" Fitzgerald, catching the sense of this mute inquiry, nodded affirmatively. "Corsica is a beautiful place," said Hildegarda. "I spent a spring in Ajaccio." "Well, that is our port," confessed the admiral, laying his precious documents on the table. "The fact is, we are going to dig up a treasure," with a fourth. Laughter and incredulous exclamations followed this statement. "Just a moment," the admiral requested patiently. "I know it smells baby. Laura, go ahead and read the documents to the unbelievers. Mr. Fitzgerald knows and so does Mr. Breitmann." Laura unfolded the story, and when she came to the end the excitement was hot and Babylonic. Napoleon! What a word! A treasure put together to rescue him from St. Helena! Gold—French gold, English gold, Spanish and Austrian gold—all mildewing in a rotting chest somewhere back of Ajacillo. It was unbelievable, fantastic as one of those cinematograph pictures, running backward. "But what are you going to do with it when you find it?" "Findings is keepings," quoted the admiral. "Perhaps divide it, perhaps turn it over to France, providing France agrees to use it for charitable purposes." "A fine plan, is it not, Mr. Breitmann!" said M. Ferrand. "Findings is' keeping" repeated Brettman with a pale smile The eyes of Hildergarde von Mitter burned and burned. Could she but read what lay behind that impasive facial! And he took it all with a smile. What would he do? What would he do now? kept recurring in her mind. She knew the man, or at least she thought she did, and she was aware that those existed in his soul dark corveus which she had never dared to explore. Yes, what would he do now? How would he put his hand upon this gold? She tumbled with apprehension. And back, when she found the couch to put it in, she looked briefly, he agreed with a bang of law and yet saw that she she drew away mine into his arms. FOR FREE SUGAR AND INCOME TAX TAX INCOMES OVER $5000 Expect to Raise Nearly $80,000,000 to Partly Make Up Loss From Sugar Revenue. The Democratic caucus ratified the sugar bill and the income tax or excise bill presented by Democratic, Leader Underwood, with the endorsement of the ways and means committee. Both bills will now be presented to the house. In reporting the free sugar, bill to the caucus, Chairman Underwood also submitted a bill which in effect would provide an income tax in the United States. It was proposed that the present corporation tax be extended to include "individuals and co-partnerships doing a business of $5000 a year or over." Mr. Underwood stated that this practically would accomplish the purposes of an income tax, and at the same time comply with the supreme court decision against the constitutionality of an income tax. The proposed tax would be one per cent. Chairman Underwood made a statement to the caucus that he had been directed by the ways and means committee to submit a bill to place sugar on the free list and another bill extending the present excise tax, now levied by law on corporations, to individuals and co-partnerships having an annual income of more than $5000 a year. In explaining the effect of the bill Mr. Underwood said: "The bill removing the taxes levied at the customs houses on sugar, imported into this country, will have the effect of reducing the price of sugar to the consumer about 1½ cents a pound." The statement further says that in the opinion of the ways and means committee, the large profits made by manufacturers and refiners of sugar have been due to the customs tariff and that placing sugar on the free list would not destroy the industry in the United States, but would result in a saving to the American people of $107,000,000. "The purpose of the excise bill presented to the caucus," Mr. Underwood said, "is to extend the tax on doing business by individuals and co-partnerships." He then said: "The special tax will accomplish the same result as would have been accomplished by an income tax if it were within the power of congress to enact an income tax law so far as raising revenue is concerned, but at the same time the bill keeps well within the principles laid down by the supreme court in its decisions affecting the constitutionality of the corporation tax law." "The bill does not in any way alter, amend or repeal the corporation tax it was it now stands on the statute books," Mr. Underwood said, "but provides that every person, firm or partnership shall be subject to pay annually a special excise tax with respect to carrying on or doing business by such persons, equivalent to one per centum on the entire net income over and above $5000 received by such person from all sources during each year, and further provides that in computing the income of any person there shall not be included the amount received from any corporation, joint stock company or association, or insurance company, if the special excise tax of one percentum now imposed by law has been paid by such corporation, or stock company or insurance company or association." Arrest Father For Murder of Bohann Arrest Father For Murder of Mason After an investigation covering a period of two weeks, the police made an arrest in the poison mystery which caused the death of two children and made ill the entire family of John Lewis, colored, of 1788. Oakland avenue. Atlantic City. N.J. The father has been jailed and Richard Whales, captain of detectives, has made a charge of murder against him. It developed that two other children had died suddenly of mysterious alliances during the past year, but because they were no small, Dr. Hawkins, who attended them, gave little thought of mystery and gave as the reason acute indigestion. One of these died within an hour after being taken ill. The symptoms, however, were the same as those suffered by the other members of the family on February 11, when neighbors, responding to screams, found the entire family, with the exception of the father, who had gone to work as a wheel-chair pusher on the Boardwalk, lying on the floor, in the greatest agony. Elmer and Rutil, the smallest of the six children, died in the City hospital soon after being admitted. The rest have recovered. Eating spotted oatmeal and milk, which caused potionic poisoning, was given out as the cause. The police were satisfied with this theory and practically closed the case when the prosecutor, Goldenberg, be State National Board of Trade. President Telfin has taken the imminent in a movement to bring business items of the country into touch with the government for advice and counsel in the administration of laws, the enactment of new statutes and the development of commerce. Virtually the president proposes a national board of trade broadly representative of the commercial and industrial organizations and of such character as the government may property recognise by a charter from congress. As one of the first steps in this plan, Secretary Nagel, of the department of commerce and labor, by direction of the president, has called a convention of delegates from commercial organisations in all parts of the country to meet in Washington on April 15 for discussion and to plan the organization. In a statement President Taft outlines the purposes of such an organisation. It would give to the government the opportunity to consult the business world on all problems of trade supremacy, it would afford cooperation in the expansion of commerce at home and abroad, and would provide a means by which government officers charged with the enforcement of laws could become acquainted with the complexities which surround their administration in the business world. Further than that, congress in framing new statutes affecting trade and commerce would have first-hand advice of an official nature. Wins 840,000 Heart Balm. The United States circuit court of appeals has sustained a decision by a lower court in St. Louis; awarding $40,000 to Miss Ellen R. Day, of Monominee, Mich., for breach of promise and loss of service. Miss Day said that James, S. Samborn, of Pukwana, S. D., had broken a promise to marry her and for that asked $25,000. She said also that she had worked for Sanborn without compensation, believing she was to become his wife. For this service she asked $15,000. The jury gave her the full amount, $40,000. JOHN G. A. LEISHMAN. His Small Dewry to Daughter Drove Away German Count. Her Dowry Too Small. It has been learned in German military circles in Berlin that Count Graf Pugue had proposed for the hand of Nancy Leishman, but withdrew his proposal on learning the amount of Nancy's probable dowry, which is reported as not being sufficient. In American circles, while awaiting confirmation of the report, it is supposed the ambassador may have placed the figure lo was a polite way of refusing the count's offer. Dog Saves Baby From Drowning. A dog was the hero of the rescue of a year-old baby from drowning in the Hudson river near New York. Willie Blake, child of Captain John Blake, of the canal boat Mary Ann, tipped up on the Jersey City side of the stream, was playing in a big clothes basket on the deck, when baby and all worked over the side to land right side up on a cube of ice. A terror which had been playing with the baby gave the alarm by barking furiously, and after attaching the attention of the baby's mother, jumped overboard and swam faithfully on guard beside the ice cake as it floated down the river. It was still on duty ten minutes later when a steamboat crew, whose attention had been attracted by the dog's barking, put out a skiff and revived the chilled but unarmed bail, and the nearly exhausted dog. Died After Hold-Up Harvey Granley, a blacksmith, died in Allentown, Pa. He had returned to his home from Philadelphia Sunday night, and said that he had been beaten up by thugs on Teeth street, in that city. He was dazed and unable to give any connected account of what had happened to him. Nothing is known concerning his wandering while in Philadelphia, nor is it known whether or not he had any large sum of money on his person when he was attacked. He had gone when he. reached his home. The police in Allentown have communicated with the Philadelphia authorities, in an effort to find out whether or not they can tell where Granley was attacked. Rural Malt Carrier Killed by Train George W. Brill. of New Oswego, Del. was struck and killed by a truck on the Delaware division of the Pennsylvania railroad while at his work as a rural mail carrier. His Chivalrous Behavior Gains Him a Position as Chauffeur to a Widow. Value of Railroad Experience in Automobiling. WAS being borne over the Moon-shine route in a freight car all by myself and was shivering with the cold for the want of a fur coat when I says to myself, says I: "Checkerma, you are no gentleman. You were born to be, but the hobo business has switched you off. You are a disgrace to yourself and the constitution of the United States to be beating your way in a freight car." That's what I said, and after a bit I asked myself: "But how am I going to be a gentleman? I never met but one bob who was a gentleman, and eighty-four . "FIVE MILES MORE." empty freight cars ran over him be fore he had honored the purfesh four weeks." I was pummed for awhile, and then it came easy. I dropped-off at the next town and was walking around and keeping my eyes open when a lady comes running out of a house and cries out to me: "Oh, sir, there's a man in the house!" "Yes; I take you to be a married woman," says I. The intruder, "But I'm a widow." "And have no chaperon?" "No. And the man won't go out." "Then he must be made to. I'm free and easy with railroad presidents, mum, but when it comes down to social etiquette I stand on my dignity. It's inconvenient for a gentleman to remain in a widow's house after being ordered to take a skate." "Ob, if you could make him go out!" says the widow as she wriggs her hands. "But I can, mum. That's why I was built this way for. Show him to me and then see me prance him." I followed her into the house to find a great big tramp helping himself to luncheon off the sideboard and otherwise acting as if he had lived on velvet all his life. "Hobo," says he as I come upon him, "don't monkey with me, for I am a dangerous man and armed to the tooth." "I'll run for help," says the lady. "Don't do it, mum. Jest stand by and see a bit of that Japanese work they call litmigtyon." With that I gives the tramp a cuff on the ear to distract his attention and let me get a neck hold. When I had got it I walks him to the door and jumps him straight out twenty feet before he lands on his ear. When he gets up he knocks down a whole panel of the picket fence in his haste to say adieu. Reward of Chivalry. "How brave of you!" says the lady after the trump had vanished. "But yours must be a chivalrous nature." "Somewhat that way, mum. I have let the firemen of passing locomotives poll me with coal and never paid 'em back by throwing rock!" "I do so admire a strong, brave man! How can I reward you?" "I'd like to start in as a choffer and grow up to be a real toff." "How grand! And what a coincidence! My chauffeur has, just run away with the cook, and there is an opening for you. I shall be delighted to be driven about by a hero. You have had experience, of course?" "None to speak of, mum, but when a man can steer a freight train of thirty four cars for fifty miles on a down grade an apto isn't going to bother him much. There may be a few expert mentors at the grist." "I shall doate on them, and I know you will always save my life if it is in need." I entered upon my duties next day. I drove the widow out, and, after poking along at a walk for a mile, she says: "Jessam, we will have a little more romance." Efforts Appreciated. I struck a piece of fifteen miles an hour and ran over a dog. I hit 'or up to twenty and knocked a church door clear across the street. Then I made it five miles more and took the wheels off of two wagons and imported down a policeman who was impatient where the devastation would come. Not a fall from the officer. On the encounter, when we had carefully been entered by a huge and unmistakable crowd, she turned to us still. "Your brave and gallant! I did not know that chieftains had such noble titles of character." "Joeen, I want to be at the head of the social Four Hundred in this town." "Yes, mum. That's where you orter be." "And it ain't money nor dress nor pedigree that counts. It's your buzz wagon and the gait it can hit up. Do you think we can get 100 miles an hour out of mine?" "A thousand, if you say so." "How noble! How grand! Jeams, you are a jewel of a choffer. Let it be 800 miles an hour. No one has struck even 800 here yet." I started from the gate at a pace of 200 miles an hour and then gradually hit 'er up to 900. It beat riding on the bumpers by forty miles an hour. Doing Some Execution. As we went up the right hand side of the boulevard we carried home blocks, telephone poles, lampposts and baby carriages with us, and now and then we knocked an ash cart around a corner and piled it in a heap. There was a great running out of houses to see. When ready to turn around the lady says to me: "Jeems, I believe that my social standing is now assured." "But have you any doubt of it, mum?" I asks. "Just a little speck. You see that mansion down there with the long randa? Well, my only rival lives there. Do you think you can share that randa clean from the house?" "Dead easy." "Then you might do it. Her choffer upset my horse block the other day and she's around bragging about it." I knocked down a fat woman carrying a parrot in a cage, ran over a colored minister and scraped all the tables from in front of a grocery as a starter, and then we seemed to rise in the air and fly. There were ladies and gentlemen on the veranda, and when they saw us coming they called out to keep away. I never awerved a hair's breadth. Crushing a Rival. There was just one awful crash ago the thing was done and we were speeding down the street with the veranda riding on the boiler hood. We left it in front of a street car, dodged a score of police and 100 brickbats, and as we reached home the widow clasped her hands to exclaim: "Oh, Jeems, the mobility of your char acter is beyond words to express." He my choffer until death do us part! I repiled that I would be, but ere another mouth had passed I found myself saying to myself: "Checkers, it isn't in you to be a gentleman. It's straining your whole system and making a mental wreck of you. Go back to the old purse and be healthy and happy again." And a few nights later I skipped the house and went south on an oil tank car, and as soon as the conductors and engineers and firemen along the route heard that I was back at the old stand they hung out flags and cheered me. A railroad without life hoobes would be a lonesome thing. Almost an Ovation. "The bill met with an ominous reception," said former Mayor Baehr of Cleveland, discussing a measure that had failed.

SATURDAY...MARCH 16, 1912. The Richmond, Va. City Council adopted an unconstitutional provision for the increase of the pay of the teachers in the elementary grades over the protest of the City Attorney, the Finance Committee and the Richmond City School Board. When passion and sentiment away a body of men in this manner, it indicates that the teachers were young and good-looking and that the City Fathers are better suited for spooning and love-making than for the more important responsibilities of transacting the city's business. Those citizens who have been advocating a Commission form of government will find the strongest argument here in support of their contention. MR. BOOSEVELT AND WALL ST. In speaking of the candidacy of Hon. Theodore Roosvelt, the New York Wall Street Journal says: Last week Mr. Roosevelt announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination, on a platform which conservative Democrats would regard with distrust and alarm. There is something overwhelming in the former President's enormous exotism. It is of such magnetic quality as to sweep other bodies with it in its meteoric course; and it is impossible to say it is juncture what the consequences will be in the next four months of agitation. There is unquestionably an element in Wall Street which thinks the Roosevelt movement means so menacing as the Wickersham and the memory of Mr. Bonaparte still fear it is not surprising to find that this section of public opinion believes that the disturbance of business by experimental prosecutions would not have been tolerated had Mr. Roosevelt returned to the White House after the completion of his last form. These are considerations of only minor importance to the public wet fare. They represent no principle, but merely the lack of one, and there can be no sound government without it. Nevertheless, the political situation is not really disturbing business quite so much as many people would have us believe, and the tendency of markets in all directions is to cut loose from the influence. This is indeed an optimistic view of the situation and it seems to indicate that after all, Mr. Reavestvalt has powerful financial influences behind him which are providing his nomination will still be a positive re suit, even though he should not secure the honor at Chicago. It is exceedingly likely that if Col. Roseveil could secure the kind of endorsement he desires before the people, without the influence or intervention of machine men, he would land triumphantly in the White House at Washington. He has unquestionably upset all previous calculations and rendered exceedingly doubtful the result of the impending contest. A compromise is the only way out and it remains to be seen whether or not this can be accomplished in the time allotted.

Roosevelt left, President Taft shifted to middle ground, where he has since remained until Col. Roosevelt seeing that he As the matter now stands, even should Mr. Taft be re-nominated, he has the new sevelt brand of "N. G." on his administration and this will be a serious handicap in his contest with the Democratic Chieftain who will be nominated at Baltimore. MR. LINCOLN AND SLAVERY. We publish a communication from Rev. Isaac Persons of Warren, Tennessee relative to the emancipation of the colored people of this country. He says there is a division upon this question and he states just what the proclamation of President Abraham Lincoln said and meant. He is correct in his statement of facts and we are unable to see that it is open to argument. All histories agree upon this statement of fact. We are not in a position though to criticise President Lincoln. He was elected upon an anti-slavery platform and he was known to be opposed to the institution of slavery. His plan of gradual emancipation was a part of a great scheme to weaken the South and to save the Union. He said and he meant what he said, his primary motive was to save the Union and not to abolish slavery. He wanted slavery abolished, but if it were necessary to retain slavery to save the Union, he would do it and if it were necessary to abolish slavery to save the Union, he would do it'. His idea and purpose were not to extrange loyal Southerners in the rebellious States by confessing their property, which consisted mostly of land and Negroes. This is the human way to look at the matter. President Lincoln was constantly invoking divine guidance and he got it, due to his own prayers and those of the four million colored people whom he was enfranchising. The Congress of the United States by appropriate legislation, which was subsequently ratified by an Amendment to the Constitution of the United States really abolished slavery from every foot of ground in this country. President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation furnished the impetus for as he well said this Republic would not continue to survive half slave and half free. In setting aside premature proclamations by some of his zealous commanders, he gave considering conditions as a whole and doing all within his power to throttle the rebellion which threatened the life of the nation and endangered the very executive chair which he at that time occupied. Abraham Lincoln was a great man, but he was human and history records the fact that his death was in a measure opportune, saving him as it did from charges of supinely surrendering to the leaders in the South who but a short time before had borne arms against the national government at Washington He would have embarked upon a policy of conciliation, which would have defiled him in the minds of those who had been his bitterest enemies. As the matter now stands, thousands of Southerners, who later became conversant with Mr. Lincoln's intentions and purposes are now disposed to give him a place in the temple of Fame opposite to that and on a level with the great immortal George Washington. It was openly asserted at the Republican State Convention at Roanoke that the Republican State Committee had made a rule that only white men shall govern party affairs in Virginia. This is drawing the color line with a vegegrante and it has caused no end of comment. National Committeeman Alvah H. Martin is said to have concurred in this view of the situation and with his support, it is asserted that Mr. Melvin Flegenheimer will be chairman of the Republican City Committee here. This policy is being pursued in the Southern States. We deemed it advisable to cite these Republican Negro-haters to the plank adopted in the platform of the National Republican Convention at Chicago. June 18, 1988 and which plank is binding now. Here it is: The Republican Party has been for more than fifty years the consistent friend of the American Negro. It gave him freedom and citizenship. It wrote into the organic law the declarations that proclaim his civil and political rights, and it believes today that his note-worthy programs in intelligence, industry and good citizenship has earned the respect and encouragement of the nation.

WATKIN softly, oh, my soul!—my lady sleeps her pure white cloud of dreams, a-wing my lonely world of song that keeps me attuned with love in every string. make music here beneath thee, dear, flow upon the winds' swift winding way in with thy heart of hearts and hear the sweet, golden, story of my lay. Did I touch the tenderest tone of all mysteries of melodies divine; eyes above, to-night, and call —oh, darling, let me call thee mine! the silvery sea of night I kneel ears as witnesses to hear my plea;— deep down within my soul I feel me naught above me save the heavens and thee. Breathe softly, oh, my soul!—my lady sleeps Upon her pure white cloud of dreams, a-wing Above my lonely world of song that keeps My lute attuned with love in every string. While I make music here beneath thee, dear, Swing low upon the winds' swift winding way And listen with thy heart of hearts and hear The 'one sweet, golden, story of my lay. Fain would I touch the tenderest tone of all God's mysteries of melodies divine; I lift my eyes above, to-night, and call To thee—oh, darling, let me call thee mite! We demand equal justice for all men without regard to race or color; we declare once more and without reservation for the enforcement in letter and spirit of the Thirteenth Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments to the Constitution, which were designed for the protection and advancement of the Negro, and we condemn all devices that have for their real aim his disfranchisement for reasons of color alone, as unfair, un-American and repugnant to the supreme law of the land. These white Republicans in this district, specifically known as Melvin Flegenheimer, Joseph P. Brady and George A. Hanson barred colored Republican voters from the Republican meeting and openly announced that their action was based upon and was for the reasons of color alone. Are these gentlemen inside of the Republican Party in their actions or outside of it? The mandatory declarations in that platform leave no ground for misconstruction or misunderstanding. It was on the strength of this plank that tehs of thousands of Republicans throughout the country remained true to the Republican Party and aided in the election of Hon. William Howard Taft, President of the United States. It would be well to furnish these misguided alleged Republicans copies of this extract. They belong in the ranks of the bourbon. Negro-hating Democratic Party and inadvertently have put on the wrong uniform. The colored voters were in the Republican Party before they came into it and will be there a long time after they are put out of that great organization. The "illy-white's" of the Southland should study this extract from the platform of the National Republican Party. There is something grimly humorous about ex-President Theodore Roosevelt's predicament at this time. Four years ago, he had undisputed control of the machinery of the Republican Party. He used it ruthlessly upon his opponents, both inside and outside of the Republican Party. With Postmaster General Hitchcock as Major General, commanding he instituted what is known now as the "steam roller," which is another way of saying that right or wrong, if the delegate is for the administration, he will be recognized. FACING HIS OWN ARTILLERY. Col. Roosevelt had built up one of the most powerful political machines in the country. It annihilated all opposition and its effectiveness was admitted without question. When he went to Africa, it was with a feeling of satisfaction that he left his personal friend, Hon. William H. Taft at the helm. He trusted him implicitly and as he had virtually nominated and elected him to the presidency, he felt sure that his personal friends would be looked after, his policies faithfully observed and when he returned, his orders would be as absolutely obeyed as they were when he himself occupied the presidential chair. A poet has said, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder" and another rhymer added, "Fonder of the other fellow." This seemed to have been the case in this instance, for ex-President Roosevelt had not reached the wilds of Africa before his enemies began to dance with glee and they approached President Taft with the siren song. They led him into one blunder after another. Ex-President Roosevelt's friends protested and when President Taft did not heed their objections, they became outspoken relative to his change of policy. This resulted in their being ousted from office. had been practically betrayed made it impossible for him to hold neutral ground and took steps to drive him over into the depths of the enemy. This situation of affairs upset the Colonel's calculations and when he got ready to storm the breast-works, he found that he was looking into the frowning muzzles of his own artillery. He could have returned to the White House with ease provided the Republican machine and its artillery had been in the possession of his friends, but it was now marred by his enemies, who are holding their sides while they indulge in laughter. His intimate friend is in charge and he refuses to abdicate or surrender and so the dreary procession will take up a march to Chicago, where President Taft is to be re-nominated and defeated unless terms are made with this remarkable statesman of Oyster Bay, New York. While they are grimly looking at him from behind his own artillery, he is equally as solemn in declaring that he will meet them at the polis in November. If President Taft is defeated next November, who but Roosevelt can bring victory to the party four years hence. There is a deep political game being played. Col. Roosevelt's actions are puzzling the people of the country. The meeting at Chicago may serve to bring some light to the average citizen, but the outlook is certainly gloomy for success at the polls. --- STARTLINE DISCLOURES. We publish elsewhere in these columns the entire correspondence relative to the arbitrary action of the Executive Committee of the American Bar Association in practically excluding from membership Hon. William H. Lewis, Assistant Attorney-General of the United States. It will richly repay a perusal and it shows to what extent the taste system has secured a foot-hold in this country..... The Constitution of the United States specifically provides that no discrimination shall be made against a citizen on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude and yet the leading jurists of the United States have gone on-record as violating this provision and of openly disavowing the spirit of it. The case has even a more serious aspect in that the President of the American Bar Association, Mr. S. S. Gregory has virtually agreed with the Executive Committee and addressed a letter to Hon. William H. Lewis advising him to submit his case to the Executive Committee. We cannot see that there was anything to submit. The Executive Committee based its objection to him upon the ground that he was of the colored race, it was for Hon. William H. Lewis to prove, that he was descended from an Indian or was the representative of some Latin race. Not being able to do this, all argument along the lines mapped out by the prejudiced committee was at an end and attendance at its deliberations would have been humiliating. There is another phase of this interesting situation. It is from the membership of the American Bar Association that the jurists of the country are drawn, including those selected for membership of the Supreme Court of the United States. If the President of the Association and the Secretary thereof, including the members of the Executive Committee plainly and widely visits the constitution and laws of their own organization, as has been shown in the able and unassuming agreement of Hon. George W. Whitsherman, Attorney General of the United States, what may be expected of them as judges upon the bench? the United States, and only by insurrection and other question. The slave trade better than the police, but how these burdens are apportioned and just how their decisions are affected in the interstate that secured their appointment. This line of reasoning tends to cause one to lose faith in well-might everything human. Race prejudice has permeated everywhere and every thing. The Golden Rule is made to apply only to white people and not to colored ones. How and we hope to win then upon appeals to the Supreme Court of the United States, where the questions of human rights are concerned! How can we expect to get justice in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution of the United States, if the very men who have been elevated to the bench are impregnated with that kind of virulent race prejudice so startlingly shown in this correspondence? Attorney General Wickersham has taken high ground. He may not win today, but he will win tomorrow, and if not tomorrow then the day afterwards. Error has always retreated before Truth and the victory may be delayed; but it will come after a while. COLORED MEN TO THE REAR. The Republican State Convention at Roanoke, Va., unceremoniously seated the Hanson-Fleegheimer-Brady delegation for the Third Congressional District of Virginia and thus legalised and recognised the ruling made by the "rump" convention in asking every colored Republican, voter out of the convention hall. It also set its seal of approval upon Hon. George A. Hanson's declaration that colored citizens are not wanted in the party organization except to push behind and are entitled to no equality of representation and rights in a Republican organization. Mr. Molvin Plegerheimer, whose family record is so interwoven with the holding of federal offices as to be inseparable openly announced this new doctrine and declared that it was the policy of the Republican State Committee to unload citizens of color. That he was correct in his statements cannot now admit of any question. The question that arises and is forced home to every colored voter is, "What are you going to do about it?" Is this view of the situation to be accepted and is this army of office seekers to be permitted to ride rough-ish over the prostrate bodies of the Negro electorate? We shall see. So far as we are concerned, we shall oppose it with all of the energy and power which we possess and men of this calibre and stripe should be outlawed by an enraged colored electorate in every conceivable way. In this district, with its multitude of property owning colored people, the color line was drawn by both elements and an absolutely white delegation sent to Roanoke after the same kind of a delegation had been sent to the District Convection. Hon. Alvah H. Martin and Hon. C. Bascom Slemp, who controlled the delegation under the instructions of Hon. William B. McKinley, President Taft's political manager at Washington confirmed the declarations that the colored voters regardless of standing or influence were not to be recognized and these same people are now making appeals for colored votes at the polls, not only in the South but in the North as well. Again comes the question, "What are you going to do about [t]?" We are of the opinion that this attitude is not confined to the Taft forces or to the Roosevelt forces, but extends to the organizations of both of the contending factions. It seems to us that this is about the time to begin a crusade for human rights, for "a square deal," to the extent of ascertaining just how far this wave of race prejudice will go and in what way its mighty force can be checked. It should not be forgotten that Right is eternal and that wrong flourishes only for a Httle while. DOWNING'S DREAM Rev. L. L. Downing of Boonoke, Va. has the fact of always getting off the story about a dream that he had and he varies it to suit the occasion, never falling though to land in heaven before he completes his narrative. It never falls to create unbounded amusement and to bring down the house. The daily papers tell of his using it with sledge-hammer effect upon the Negro-hating William Flegenbommer after he had delivered his address to the Fifth District Republican Convention. The report is as follows: Mr. Pflugheim said he had been locked out of a Republican meeting recently in Richmond; that he was present with a delegation of white men, as opposed to a black and ten African-American commander. The White organization to have won the party shall be governed by white.

Theropon ausepause Downing, the Negro, and told of a dream in which Mr. Fleguenbauer was pictured with Woodrow Wilson and Judson Harmon as standing close to the throne of the Alenighty, because he was afraid to let them out of His sight. The conversion was said by Downing to be on the outskirts of heaven, because the Lord could trust it. Rosevett's name was vociferously cheered to-night, but Taft will get the votes to-morrow. As Rev. Powning is of a very light complexion, evidently Brother Flegenheimer thought he was in a convention composed altogether of white men. Mr. Flagstemheimer's declaration that the Republican State Committee has ruled that the Republican Party in Virginia shall be governed by White men is interesting to say the least. What does President Taft say about it, and what is Hoe. William R. McKinley doing about the matter? This is an issue that should be met right now and the sooner the better.

NEWS The Fight In On. About six months ago Miss Light foot put in an application at the County Hospital for entrance as trained nurse. A few days later she received a reply from the matron, stating they did not admit colored girls. Some days after this a committee called on Mr. Prittman, the superintendent of the hospital and be referred them to Mr. Butler, the chairman of the Board of Supervisors. Mr. Butler stated that he did not believe that the white nurses would be willing to work with a colored nurse in the hospital and that if the Board of supervisors would admit a colored girl in the training school that all the white nurses would walk out, and the patients would be in danger at the hands of the colored nurses. This statement did not meet with favor by our colored citizens and they at once took the matter up as a body and the Sunday Forum wrote a set of resolutions to the Board of Supervisors protecting their decision. NO ANSWER FORTHCOMING. There has been no reply up to date and the colored people feel that they have been unjustly treated and are making further effort to have organized a citizen's committee with Attorney Paul M. Nash as chairman, and this committee will investigate the matter and learn whether or not the Board of Supervisors has a right to discriminate. Mr. Butler stated some time ago that inasmuch as the County Court House and the Street Department employed a large number of colored men he thought they ought to be satisfied. We have one woman as Licensed Recorder in the person of Mrs. Laura Young. She is the only representative of our race filling any position in the county. If this matter had come to a vote in the Board of Supervisors, it is believed that Miss Lightfoot's request would have been granted. The colored people of Los Angeles are 16,960 strong and can furnish a number of colored girls if the opportunity was given them. The colored people are paying taxes on eleven and a half million dollars a month in taxes on all the northwest and they feel that taxation without representation as an injustice to both them and their children.

The leaders in the, great enterprises, most especially among our people, are men and women who be believe in God, honor his cause, give to its support and are church-goers. Mr. "Rambler" said that men and women who will not carry out the injunctions laid down, by the Lord are not fit subjects to be leaders in any community and the attempt so to do, the moral standing of that community will be lowered by them, and all who follow them.

The dedication of the new school marked a new era in the educational uplift in the race in that section of the South. Mrs. Lella Walters, one of the most accomplish women of the race and wife of Bishop Alexander Walters was the first principal of the school and played a conspicuous part in the early history of the school. As the first principal of the school, Mrs. Walters did much in the pioneer in working out a system of education in working away much towards shaping the future lives of the boys and girls of Louisville. Like most great institutions that grow to gigantic proportions, the school started in an humble way until it outgrew its cramped quarters and demanded larger and more com modious quarters. Seeing the necessity of a public school for the colored children of Louisville, Miss Jackson, a well known young woman of the city called a few women of the race together and demanded to begin the work. Small quarters and the first public school for colored children in the city of Louisville began. Among the early workers in the movement and among the first teach ers were Mrs. Mary Hicks, Mrs. Carrie Anderson, Mrs. Louis Gibson, Mrs. Gibson Roberts and Mrs. Anna Gibson, Mrs. Lesia Walters, then Miss Lilia Brown was called to the first principality of the school.

The new $80,000 school building, dedicated to the educational uplift of the Negro boys and girls of Louisville will ever remain a monument to her foresight. The dedication of the new school recently was a red letter day in the life of the colored people of Louisville and in the educational life of the city. The members of the Board of Education were present and spoke in a highly complimentary manner on the excellent service the school had rendered the city. A great appliance came from the army of the Civil War, the history of the school was told and the names of some of the pioneer workers were mentioned. The dedication of the school in the opinion of many is one of the greatest race movements in the history of the race. The editor of the Baptist Herald published in Louisville in an editorial on the incident suggested that the school be named after a noted man or woman of the race.

Theodore Roosevelt's intention of accepting the nomination for the Presidency, has caused many influential men of the race to signify their intention of supporting the Colonel. A personal canvass among the influential men of the race has revealed a concerted movement to support Roosevelt in the coming campaign. In the opinion of many, Roosevelt would do much in providing an administration that would give the Negro fair play. Among the strong race men who has signified his intention of supporting Roosevelt is the Rev. Dr. W. P. Hearn, a Baptist Church when at his residence last week, Dr. Hayes said to your correspondent: "I am a Roosevelt man and will support him in the present campaign if he is nominated. I believe he is the best candidate the Republicans could nominate and the only man who could save the party." Dr. Hayes had some bitter words for Taft and called his administration a blank failure. The prevailing opinion is that the administration of President Taft has been a dowryful failure and that his administration will work to the best interest of the people. It is the intention to open colored headquarters here in the McDonalds soon. Just what effect this attitude will have upon the national election remains to be seen. NonFragments Hold the Part.
