WALKER'S ADDRESS One of the strongest addresses heard in the Metropolis for a long while was delivered Sunday afternoon July 28th at Mt. Olivet Bapt. Church at the regular monthly public meeting of the Y. M. C. A. Dr. Walker in a thrilling address deplored the fact that the race was not active in the great religious movements, of the times, and that it was falling to grasp the great essential things of life. He made a plan for a strong leadership and urged the race to hold fast to the meaning things of life. The meeting was called to order by Secretary Bell, and began with a brief song service. Nelson Williams, Jr. of Richmond, Va. read the Scripture and prayer was offered by Rev. Hayes. George W. Allen, Vice Chairman of the Y. M. C. A. presided and after a brief introductory address presented Dr. Walker. Dr. Walker, who is well known to the young men of the Metropolis received an ovation when he rose to speak. Speaking to the subject: The Conversion of Paul, Dr. Walker drew practical lessons from his conversion and said that God had an object in Paul's conversion. "Paul was truly converted," said Dr. Walker, "and used his life to glorify God." NOTED CAREER OF JAMES R. SPURGEON. James R. Spurgeon, a well known lawyer of Brooklyn, is one of the strongest men in the race. He has attained considerable eminence in his profession and has a noble, and honorable career, in which he has reflected credit upon himself his race and his country. He came into national prominence in 1898 when he was appointed by McKinley first secretary of the Legislature of Liberia, afterwards becoming Charge De Akiara of Liberia. He reflected high credit upon himself in this office and won the praise of McKinley for his exercise of state diplomacy. He has had a varied career and has gathered a large experience. Like most men who are doing things in the North. Mr. Spurgeon halls from the South and was born in Richmond Va. in 1869. He attended the public schools of Richmond, afterward going to Hampton Institute from which he graduated in 1890. He made a good student record at Hampton and was the valedictorian of his class. He entered the law school of Yale University, from which he graduated in 1892. He began his practice in Mayesville, Ky. and immediately entered politics, supporting Harrison. During this period he was called to the principalship of the high school, and remained in this capacity until 1898, when he was appointed as the first secretary of the Legation of Monrovia. Liberia by the late President McKinley. He afterward became U.S. Minister to Liberia. He remained in the diplomatic service until 1903, and won the praise of the Liberians for bringing about a better feeling between the two countries. The latter part of 1903 he resigned from the service and returned to America, where he took up again the practice of the law. Mr. Spurgeon is prominent in the civic affairs of Brooklyn, and is generally found lined up with helpful movements for race uplift. Together with his practice he holds a government position. Mr. Spurgeon is devoting his spare time to the development of the Boy Scout movement among the colored boys of Brooklyn, and is recognised as one of the most efficient scout masters in the country. He is among the pioneers in the scout movement in this country. DEATH OF PROMINENT VIRGINIAN Information reached this bureau of the death of Peyton William of Danville, Va.

The person who dropped a bill of paper money in Mr. Bear's store, 216 East Broad St. one Sunday morning about three weeks ago can get the same by calling and paying for this ady. Danville (Va.) News. Editor of PLANET: It seems quite strange as good a paper as yours and as many educated and business men and women as we have in our city and vicinity we do not get an article in your paper every week. I learn that there are a few copies of your paper sold here each week. We find that we get news through your paper relative to our people we can't get otherwise. So this is the great reason why our people should read The PLANET. The Shiloh Baptist Church had Rev. Robert G. Adams of Farmville, Va., one of the home sons, to fill her pulpill all day on Sunday. The Rev. seemed to have been at his best. Our attention was called to the time when Rev. Adams pastorated the First Baptist Church, "Northside" in our city, whose pastorate was a success so much so when he resigned to take the mission field the Church voted unanimously against his resignation. This speaks well for him, one of our sons. Quite a number of the Rev.'s old friends and members of the Church no pastorate were out to hear him. The congregation at night by a unanimous vote gave an expression of their appreciation of his services during the day and bid him good bye with the request "Come again soon." WRONG MAN IN FULTON JAIL. Cashier R. T. Hill Still at Large--Detective Bailey Wires Chief Werner. There was widespread disappointment in this city when it was given out from Police Headquarters that Detective Bailey had sent the following telegram: "Major Louis Worner, Richmond, Va. No resemblance to Hill; wrong man, BAILEY." This related to the suspect held in Fulton, Kentucky Jail under warrant sworn out by Detective Simmons, who was so sure that he had captured the long lost absconding Cash for R. T. Hill, that he wrote asking that the reward of two thousand dollars offered by Grand Worthy Master, Floyd Ross be forwarded to him. Grand Worthy Master Ross is reported to have sent a member of the Order from Louisville, Ky. to Fulton, Kentucky to see the alleged Hill. He reported that the wrong man had been arrested. This was before the telegram had come to the Chief. Detective Bailey had secured requisition papers from Gov. Mann. MANY RUMORS CIRCULATED The failure to locate R. T. Hill has caused all sorts of rumors. Some people went so far as to say that the right man had been arrested and another one put in his place, upon the payment by Hill of an amount more than the reward. There was absolutely nothing to support these wild rumors. Others shook their heads mysteriously and murmured that the reason they had not gotten Hill was because they did not want to find him. There were too many other people concerned in his peculiations. There is no doubt though that the Police and the Detective Department of this city are acting in good faith and that the members of the force are very anxious to lay their hands upon the elusive Cashier. BELIEVE FRIENDS HERE KNOW HIS WHEREABOUTS Some people claim that the whereabouts of R. T. Hill is known to some people in this city. They claim that when it was reported in some quarters that he had been an rested in Kentucky that a remark was made "How did he get away down there?" It is further rumored that this was caused by the fact that he has been recently forced to shift from his hiding place on account of the close watch kept upon his movements and the close proximity of some people, who were anxious to find him. Some were unkind enough to suggest that he had gone to Africa. All talk about R. T. Hill's being dead is now abandoned. TO INTEREST BURNS. There is not much doubt, but what that two thousand dollars reward is spurring the officers of the law to renewed activity. Cashier R. T. Hill left the city suddenly and no one has been able to state positively that he has been seen since that time. There is no doubt but what if he is in this country he will be ultimately captured, but it seems that it will be no-months before this is accomplished. It was said at one time that he was in Cuba. A colored detective was seen in New Orleans, who said he was going over there to find him. A movement is to be put on foot to get Detective Burns, the celebrated sleuth interested in the case and thus solve one of the most mysterious disappearances that has ever taken place in this city.

Small cash payment. Address OWNER, Care Carrier 29. From South Carolina. In 1905 while attending a State Normal for Negro teachers, quite a distinguished educator delivered an address to the normal. There were few paragraphs of that address that did not contain the word Negro. There was much food for thought in the "argument." The next day the normal closed and several hundred teachers checked their baggage for home. I spent two days at home then boarded a train for Atlanta, Ga. I left Columbia, S. C. late one afternoon and at 12 o'clock that night found myself at a lonely station about two hundred miles from Atlanta Ga. I asked the operator how about the train for Atlanta. He said it was more than an hour late. In the glare of the operator's light I walked about the station. It was then I imagined I saw printed before me the full address as delivered at the normal. I thought to myself how I dislike that word Negro. The more I thought about it the greater the distaste for the address. It was about two o'clock when the "ship of the desert" appeared above the horizon. On board I met quite a number of noted Negroes on the way to Atlanta to attend a meeting of the National Negro Business League. As the train speeded on its way to the Metropolis of the South again and again the word Negro appeared fresh in my mind. Oh how I distrike it thought I. On arriving at Atlanta the next morning about the first word I saw in print was that same one. Negro, written in large letters, calling attention to our meeting. I spent several days at this noted gathering and after listening to the annual address of Dr. Booker T. Washington, et. al., telling what the Negro has done and is still doing for the betterment of his race and returning from a trip to Turkegue. Aln. I thought to myself how I like the word Negro. I found that it represented something "progressive." A progressive people are realless, not easily satisfied. Education produces an insatiable desire for achievements. Since one's education begins where they enter the world and continues as long as they live, some of us could give no reason for our "shortcoming." We hear the names of many trees, plants and animals, but we are ignorant of what these names represent. On the shelves in drug stores one sees cartons from both the mineral and vegetable kingdoms, but we are unable to analyze the liquid and tell from whence it came. Many of our people have strange notions about the meaning of the word education. Several years ago I was appointed to conduct a county normal for Negro teachers. As soon as they rolled I handed them a slip asking them to define the word education. These slips were collected at once and placed on file in the library. I read the definition of each teacher or carefully and found only one included manual training, in explaining the word education. This same man was a teacher in the public school owned a tract of land and was erecting a building upon it at the time of the normal. I once carried the United States Mall on a star route through the country. One day a "gentleman" asked me to carry a sealed no-stamp letter to a friend living beyond a post office on the route. I used my education and said no. But at times the wise acts childish David with a clear knowledge of Divine wisdom and a keen conception of his omnipotency, for his wrong doing, had to be lectured to by the prophet Nathan. After conquering Babylon that magnificent ancient capital with its hanging gardens, if Alexander the Great had counted the cost of conquest and the perishableness of richness, doubtless he would have remained at Babylon and enjoyed life for a season.

Butte Western? You did." "Ridiculous!" "It is true." "Prove it, if you can, but you can't." "I am proving it day by day, or trying to. I didn't want to come, but you drove me to it." "I decline to take any such hideous responsibility," she langbed lightly, and then, with calculated malice: "Howard, if you were only as brave as you are clever! Why can't you be a man and strike back now and then?" "Strike back at the woman I love? I'm not quite down to that. I hope, even if I was once too cowardly to strike for her." "Always that! Why won't you let me forget?" "Because you must not forget. Listen. Two weeks ago—only two weeks ago—one of the Angels—er—peacemakers stood up in his place and shot at me. What I did made me understand that I had gained nothing in a year." "Shot at you?" she echoed, and now he might have discovered a note of real concern in her tone if his ear had been attuned to hear it. "Tell me about it. Who was it? And why did he shoot at you?" His answer seemed to be indirection itself. "How long do you expect to stay in Angels and its vicinity?" he asked. "I don't know. This is partly a pleasure trip for us younger folk. Father was coming out alone, and I—that is, mamma decided, to come and make a car party of it. We may stay two or three weeks if the others wish it. But you haven't answered me. I want to know who the man was and why he shot at you." "Exactly, and you have answered yourself. If you stay two weeks of two days in Angels you will doubtless hear all you care to about my troubles. When the town isn't talking about what it is going to do to me it is gossiping about the dramatic arrest of my would be assasin." "You are most provoking!" she declared. "Did you make the arrest?" "Don't shame me needlessly. Of course I didn't. One of our locomotive engineers, a man whom I had discharged for drunkenness, was the hero. It was a most darling thing." And he told her Judson's story. Miss Eleanor did not need to vocalize her approval of Judson; the dark eyes were alight with excitement. "How fine!" she applauded. "Of course after that you took Mr. Judson back into the railway service." "Until he demonstrates!" Don't be cold blooded, Howard! Possibly he saved your life." "Quite probably. But that has nothing to do with his reinstatement as an engineer of passenger trains. It would be much better for Rufford to kill me than for me to let Judson have the chance to kill a trainload of innocent people." "And yet a few moment ago you called yourself a coward, cousin mine. Could you really face such an alternative without sinning?" "It doesn't appeal to me as a question involving any special degree of courage," he said slowly. "I am a great coward, Eleanor, not a little one, I hope." "It doesn't appeal to you?" she said. "And I have been calling you—But would you do it, Howard?" "He smiled at her sudden earnestness." "How generous your heart is, Elenor, when you let it speak for itself! If you will promise not to let it change your opinion of me—you shouldn't change it, you know, for I am the same man whom you held up to storm the day we parted—if you will promise I'll tell you that for weeks I have gone about with my life in my hands, knowing it. It hasn't required any great amount of courage. It merely comes along in the line of my plain duty to the company. It's one of the things I draw my salary for." "You haven't told me why this desperado wanted to kill you—why you are in such a deep sea of trouble out here, Howard," she reminded him. "No. It is a long story, and it would bore you if I had time to tell it. And I haven't time, because that is Williams' whistle for the Angela yard." He had risen and was helping his companion to her feet when Mra Brewster came to the car door to say: "Oh you are out here, are you. Howard? I was looking for you to let you know that we dine in the Madia at 7. If your duties will peril." Ketterwood's refusal was apologetic, but arm. "I am very sorry, Gouain Jessica," he protested. "But I left a deskful of stuff when I ran away to the wreck this morning, and really I'm afraid I shall have to beg off." "Oh, don't be so dreadfully formal! said the president's wife impatiently." "You are a member of the family, and all you have to do is to may bluntly that you can't come and then come whenever you can while we are here. You will come to us whenever you can, Howard; that is understood," she said. And so the social matter rested. Lidgerwood was half way down the platform of the Crow's Next, heading for his office and the neglected dock, when Williams' engine came backling through one of the yard tracks on its way to the roundhouse. At the ment of the passing, a Kirk mall with his one pulled over his eyes dropped from the gangway step and flung motion to the headquarters building. It was Johnson, and, having seen him but telling away men fashion at the Rouer "HELLO, JUDSON! HOW DID YOU GET HERE!" wreck in the Crosswater Hills, Lidgerwood hailed him. "Hello, Judson! How did you get here? I thought you were doing a turn with McCloskey." The small man's grin was ferocious. "I was, but Mac said he didn't have any further use for me—said I was too much of a runt to be liftin' and pullin' along with grown up men. I came down with Williams on the 60." Lidgerwood turned away. He remembered his reluctant consent to McCloskey's proposal touching the emplial upon Hallock and was sorry he had given it. But it was too late to recall it now. Gangster Who'New York Police Say Slew Rosenthal. ```markdown ``` He was arrested at Pleasantman's, a summer resort in the Catskill mountains, New York. He is named by the police as one of Rosenthal's actual players. Negro Accents Jewish Faith. Rufus L. Perry, a negro lawyer, of Brooklyn, N. Y., became a Jew when he went through various ceremonies at the hands of Rabbi Scheiner. It was said that Perry is the first negro to have accepted this rite since the biblical instance of Ham, son of Noah, the supposed original progenitor of the African race. Perry is thirty-eight years of age and single. He is a graduate of the New York university law school. As a criminal lawyer he has attained some fame. Rabbi Scheiner was assisted by Rev. S. Meisels, a cantor, while a large congregation looked on. Perry made the following declaration: "I, Rufus Lewis Perry, do hereby decide to accept the Jewish religious faith and do hereby consent to and request the performance of the ceremony." Perry was informed that "instead of Rufus you are named Raphael." As soon as the ceremony, which lasted fifteen minutes, was concluded, Perry's newly acquired Hebraic brothers began their fasting. Many prominent Hebraes were present. Girl Claims Father Sold Her Claiming that her father, Dominick Stevens, of St. Johnsville, near Utica, N. Y., had twice sold her into wedlock, the first time for $500 when she was fifteen years old, and the second time for $90 and a horse, Rose Stevens Spavin, aged seventeen, threatens to cause serious trouble for him. The charge made by the young woman follows her arrest in Albany a few days ago on her father's complaint that she stole a horse and wagon belonging to him. Subsequently the charge against the girl was dropped and her case has been brought to the attention of the district attorney. Found Dead in Bathub. William Lyons, Jr., a well known stock broker and office manager of the New York, Chicago and Pittsburgh stock exchange house of Darr & Moore, was found dead in a bathtub in a hospital in Pittsburgh, Pa. when the door was forced open by attaches.

SATURDAY.....AUGUST 17, 1912 Col. Roosevelt wishes to see how it works to have an all white party in the Southland. Well, let him see. --- We learned with regret of the death of our great and good friend, Mr. I. W. Herd, proprietor of "The Bellevue Hotel on Mona Lake, Muskogon, Mich. He was devoted to the interests of his people and had won the respect of all of his neighbors. His death removes from the field of action one of the landmarks of that community. Under the old management, the Republican Party has enjoyed an almost uninterrupted lease of power in the national government. This was done too by recognizing the equality of all men before the law. Now it is proposed to undo all of this by raising the color line, causing additional dissension in the Republican Party and thereby make certain the success of the Democratic Party at the polls in November. --- Colored men, who are wondering what to do should take note that the Prohibitionists have nominated a candidate for President. The Socialists have done the same thing. The Republicans have a candidate and the Democratic Party also has a candidate. A voter, who cannot find in this array of material a candidate to suit his fancy must be hard to please and should stay at home on election day. Colored men voted in the Richmond Democratic primary last Thursday, the Negro haters to the contrary, notwithstanding. The Richmond Virginian opposed the innovation, but the judges of election, being sworn so to do, lived up to the letter and the spirit of the law. An ex-President Reedworth, "fucks the Virginian out of the front door of the National Progressive Party, the liberal minded white Democrats of the Richland admit them through the front door of the Democratic Party, and the world moves on." COL ROOSEVELT'S POSITION Ex-President Roosevelt's letter to Mr. Julian Harris of Atlanta, Georgia was enough of a sacrifice of vital principles to disgust every lover of liberty in the country, but his speech at the National Progressive Convention was even a worse betrayal of the rights and privileges of the colored man. Applying to both the rule of reason Mr. Roosevelt would be an unstable custodian of the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States and he stands squarely opposed to the specific declaration in the National Republican Party platform of 1908. But it was the letter to Mr. Harris that we wished specifically to discuss. He said: My Dear Mr. Harris—In pursuance of our conversation I write you this letter. There is a peculiar fitness in writing it to the son of the man whose work made all Americans his debtors. Young father, possessed genius, and moreover he possessed that gentleness of soul, that broad and tender sympathy with his fellows, for the lack of which genius cannot atone. His life and his work tended to bring his fellow countrymen, North and South, into ever closer relations of good will and understanding and surply at should be needless to say that the author of "Uncle Remon" and of Free Joe and the Root of the World" felt a deep and most kindly interest in the welfare of the Negro. It may be well for us to state that as between supporting both politically and otherwise, the father of Mr Julian Hartt and Col. Roosevelt, we would best our interests in the former's hands, thousand times to ensure in the hands of the latter. The former was sheer and time of political dilemmas and a belief in the colored people of the Southland. He could be depended upon to protect their vital interests and relied upon not to sacrifice the friendship of a lifetime for a petty political advantage. He would not blow hot in the Northern States in his dealings with the colored men and cold in the Southern States in his dealings with the same class of people. But it is Col Roosevelt's idea that he "kicking" the colored citizens out of the Progressive Party that he shall be able to "bring his fellow countrymen, North and South, into ever closer relationship." Vain hope! Col Roosevelt does not understand the Southern white man and still loses the Southern colored one. His open desertion of the color people has made for him many enemies among the very class of Southern white people, phone support he values most. They are disgusted with him for they know that all that he is now doing is to secure political advantage and to deceive the white people of this sunny clime. When his scheme fails, he will turn upon his Southern allies, whose support he is now wooing with all of the ferocity of the tiger of the jungle. The class of white people who have a special antipathy to the colored people of the Southland is the element known as "poor whites." They envy or at least the largest proportion of them envy the progress of the "new Negro." Mr. Roosevelt says: Many letters dealing with the suit of which you spoke to me have been sent to me within the last few days. These letters, from equally worthy citizens, take diametrically opposite positions. Those written by me lived in the North usually by the South and that we got from the South colored delegates to the National Progressive Convention. Those written by citizens of the South ask that I declare that the new party shall be a white man's party. I am not able to agree to either proposal. And yet Col. Roosevelt did agree with the proposal that the Party in the South should be a white man's party for he specifically declared that no black man should be seated as a delegate from any State in the Southland and none were seated, so far as the information given to the public goes. Those who escaped elimination "sat tight and kept their mouths shut." Col. Roosevelt then gave expression to great principles, which would have satisfied every advocate of great principles. Here is what he said: "In this country we cannot per manently succeed except upon the basis of treating each man on his worth as a man. We can fulfil our high mission among the nations of the earth, we can do lasting good to ourselves and to all mankind, only if we so act that the humblest among us, so long as he behaves in straight and decent fashion, has gunman to him under the law his life to life, has predecessor from injustice, his right to enjoy fruits of his own honest labor and his right to the pursuit of happiness in his own way so long as he does not trespass on the rights of others. Our only safe motto is "All men up" and not "Some men down." That sounds "mighty good." He handed out more of the same kind of information when he said: For us to oppress any class of our fellow citizens, is not only wrong to others but hurtful to ourselves; for in the long run such action is no worse than to those who think that they temporarily beset by the oppressor sion. Surely no man can quarrel with these principles. Exactly as they should be applied among white men without regard to their different ces of creed, or birthplace, or social station, without regard to whether they are rich men or poor men, men who work with their hands or men who work with their brains, so they should be applied among all men without regard to the color of their skins. These are the principles to which I think our countrymen should ad here, the objects which I think they should have steadily in mind. There is need not merely of all our high purpose but of all our wisdom and patience in striving to realize them. Above all it is essential that we should not act in such a way as to make believe that we are achieving these objects and yet by our actions indefinitely postponed the time when it will become even measurably possible. For this reason I cannot adopt this, the two diametrically opposite suggestions made to me in the letters of which I have spoken. These declarations of great principles read like Holy Writ. How many man with intelligence could couple them with positive actions which were diametrically opposed to every truth thereby contained and lay claim to leadership and sanity is one of the mysteries of this day and generation and yet this is just what Mr. Roosevelt did. He said in effect that to oppress the colored citizen would hurt the people who oppressed him and yet he proceeded to oppress him and forced his colleagues and associates in the "Hall Moose Convention" to do the same thing. It is inconceivable that a man of Col. Roosevelt's affectionate ability should make such a sawing gulf between his platitudes upon principles and his platform of performances. Now here is where he struck out on another course and went diametrically opposite to the position which he had just taken. He said: "I believe that the Progressive movement should be made from the beginning one in the interest of every honest, industrious, law abiding colored man. Just as it is in the in the interest of every honest, industrious law abiding man. I further believe that the important to help either the white man or the colored man in those regions of the South where the colored man is most nu merous would be to try to repeat the course that has been followed by the Republican party in these distri tries for so many years or to en deavor in the States in question to build up a Progressive party by the same methods which in those States have resulted in making the Republican Party worse than impotent. It is said that immediately after the late Civil War, a white carpet bagger, named Hammel decided to betray and abandon the colored people. His last speech was made in the Capitol Square. Colored people were there in great numbers. Finally he said: "If I be nominated for the legislature, will you vote for me?" "Yes! yes! yes" was the response "If I be nominated for Governor will you vote for me?" "Yes! yes! yes" came the thunderous response "If I be nominated for President of the United States, will you vote for me?" he yelled. "Yes! yes! yes!" came the response. "If I go to hell, will you follow me there?" was the astounding query. "Yes—No! What that man say" came the disgusted response by colored folks, who could hardly believe their own ears. This is about the feeling of the colored people in the case of Col. Roosevelt. They are bewildered and all over the country are asking the question, "What that man say?" He continued: Henry Ward Beecher once said that the worst enemy of the colored man was the man who stirred up enmity between the white and colored men who have to live as neighbors. In the South the Democratic machine has sought to keep itself paramount by encouraging the hatred of the white man for the black; the Republican machine has sought to perpetuate itself by stirring up the black man, against the white, and surely the time has come when we should understand the mischief in both courses and should abandon both. No sensible man will question the course of this procedure. But to abandon great principles and to argue that right is wrong and wrong is right, that one class of white citizens have the legal and logical right to live with his foot upon the neck of another class of citizens, that inferior constitutional rights are to be sacrificed and the great truths laid down by the good and lowly Jesus are to be subordinated and Wrong placed upon the throne, is out of the question. In the face or all of this Col. Roosevelt has the audacity to say: We have made the Progressive is sue a moral, not a racial issue. I bellow that wherever the racial issue is permitted to become dominant in our politics it always works harm to both races, but, immeasurably most harm to the weaker race. I bellow that in this movement only damage will come if we either abandon our ideals on the one hand, or on the other fail resolutely to look facts in the face, however unpleasant these facts may be. Therefore I feel that we have to adopt our actions to the actual, conditions and actual needs and feelings of each community; not abandoning our principle, but not in one community endeavoring to realise them in ways which will simply cause disaster in that community although they may work well in an other community. Our object must be the same everywhere, but the methods by which we strive to attain it must be adapted to the needs of the several States or it will never be attained at all. Mr. Roosevelt can no longer lay claim to statesmanship. By his actions and statements, he made the Progressive issue a racial issue, not only in the South, but in the North as well. When he eliminated the colored man as a delegate to his convention, if he happened to be from a Southern State, he started the race question in all of its virulence, and he will meet it on every stump throughout the Southland. From the State of South Carolina, a call was issued only by colored men, white men not participating. The call was canceled by orders from Theodore Roosevelt. Will any one claim that if a convention had been called by only white men, that he would have ruled it out on account of such discrimination? In this attitude, he violated the fundamental principles of every great party. Col. Roosevelt said: In many of the States of the Union where there is a considerable colored population we are able in every fact and at the present moment to bring the best colored men into the movement on the same terms as the white men. In Rhode Island and Maryland in New York and Indiana, in Ohio and Illinois, in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, to speak only of States of which I have per personal knowledge, this is now being done, and from some or all of these States colored delegates will be sent to the National Progressive Convention at Chicago. Let me point out that the Progressive Party is already a new birth endeavouring in these States in the home, to act with fuller recognition, to rights of the colored man than ever the Republican party did. Until I was President the white Republicans of the North, although they had loud insisted that the colored man should have voice, with even greater firmness insisted that he should have office only in the South, or at any rate not in the North. In the above statement Col. Roosevelt violates the fundamental principle of the Republic, namely, the equality of citizenship. He insists that the wrong perpetrated upon us by chievery and deception shall be riveted upon us by positive declarations and practical enactments. He would get all of the charge of hypocrisy by openly downing the livery of the Devil himself. Neither course is satisfactory to the liberty loving, property-owning, manly, tax-paying Negroes of the South land. Col. Roosevelt can take his Party and march on to Heaven or to the other place with it for all that we care. We shall make no compromise with wrong and if the race is treated thereby to day, it will be cured of this injury tomorrow or the next day. Any race of people that would accept the offers made by Mr. Roosevelt and his Party deerves at better treatment at the hands of any Party. But enough for this week. W. shall deal further in our next issue with this most remarkable positif assumed by one who has been regarded as the foremost citizen, the leading Commander in all of this world.

Flying a kite probably saved the life of three-year-old Eddie Ashman of St. Louis, when he stepped backward from the roof of a three story building and fell to the ground. The boy's right arm was broken, and he was injured internally. As the lad fell he clung with tightened clutch to the cord which made captive his big kite, but, although the kite supported his weight to some extent, it was not large enough to prevent the fall. With several other toys, Ashman was flying kites from a large flat roof. He was walking backward and looking up at his kite as it mounted in the air, when he stepped over the edge of the roof—Chicago Inter Ocean. Dangerous Work Under Ice Floes The work of a diver is mostly all summer and warm weather work, just an exception to the rule occurred in Cincinnati when one of these men risked his life by descending to the bottom of the Ohio river through a fifteen foot hole cut in the ice and, with the therometer registering 6 shale zero, searched the bottom of the stream for a distance of 200 feet around for the body of a man who was drowned. At though thousands of tons of ice was passing over him and threatening to cut his air supply and life line, the diver worked for half a day in the key water, coming to the surface at half hour intervals to get "thawed out." Germany's Richest Woman A directory of the philateurs of Hamburg, Bremen and Lübeck, G ermany, just published, shows that the fortune of Bertha Krupp von Bohlen, the richest woman in Germany, has increased in three years from $42,000,000 to $70,000,000. The kaiser's friend, Prince Glae Henkel von Dammersmark, who was taxed on $44,000,000 in 1908, is said to have had an estate worth $53,000,000 in 1911.

Grigge, the famous orator and author has brought to light an array of facts and has unfolded a line of reasoning that is quietly transforming the thought life of the whites of the South on the race question. G. Merrill, ex-President of Flik University, "I have heard so much of Wisdom. Call that I wish a copy of it. Send it to me." Bishop I. R. Scott of the M. E. Church, says: "I believe it will change conditions in the South if it is read by any considerable number of the leaders of that section." Hon. Noah W. Cooper, one of Tennessee's most widely known white lawyers, says: "It is really a wonderful book, full of the finest philosophy, holiest rhetoric and Christian idea. Mr. Grigge is manifestly a great thinker, a GENius and a statesman." The Chief of Police of Bartow, FL, says: "That book has changed my views on the race question. I see that we white people have got to change our treatment of the Negroes." You do yourself and the cause of humanity an injustice when you neglect or delay to send for Wisdom's Call.

UPROAR IN THE CONVENTION Nominees, Arm in Arm, Appeared Before Delegates and Were Greeted With Welcome Ploughs. The first active party, the official formal party, adopted by the nominees, completed its formation. dore Roosevelt Herman W. John and been made by (am) embellpt en anate, I. A. Smith, of Georgia; General L. L. Clark, of New York; Col. L. L. Lloyd, of Florida; General John I. Melcell, of Tennessee; Henry J. Ames, of Kansas; ex-Governor Garland, of Rhode L. Land; John J. Sullivan, of Ohio, and Robert S. Fisher, of Arizona. Governor Johnson had been put in nomination by Judge John M. Parker, of New Orleans, and the nomination had been seconded by C. S. Wheeler, of California; James R. Garfield, of Ohio; Balmbridge Colby, of New York; Frederick Lands, of Indiana; Raymond Robin, of Illinois; Olford Pinchot, of Pennsylvania; Governor Vesey, of South Dakota; William Filhn, of Pennsylvania, and John R. Cledo, a native of New York. Colonel Roosevelt, arm in arm with Governor Johnson, appeared before the convention and were greeted with the wildest pardons, a very bedlam of a demonstration, and formally accepted the nominations. The great audience of 15,000 souls sang the bookings to the accompaniment of a band, the fire and drum corps, a quartet of trombones and cornetts, with the minute gun machine banging away up in the organ loft, and with the benediction the convention adjourned. The following is an outline of the platform as adopted by the convention. The preamble, among other things, says: "This country belongs to the people who inhabit it. Its resources, its business, its institutions and its laws should be utilized, maintained or altered in whatever manner will best promote the general interest. It is time to set the public welfare in the first place." The platform deals with "the old parties," which it characterizes as "the tools of corrupt interests which use them infiltrally to serve their selfish purposes." "The deliberate betrayal of its trust by the Republican party." It continues, "and the fatal incapacity of the Democratic party to deal with the new issues of the new time, have compelled the people to forge a new instrument of government in the Progressive party." Nation-wide presidential preference primaries, primaries for state officials, a short ballot, "with responsibility to the people secured by the initiative, referendum and recall;" an easy and expeditious method of amending the federal constitution; effective national jurisdiction of problems which have expanded beyond reach of the individual states; equal suffrage; publicity of campaign expenditures and limitation of contributions, are some of the planks. The platform pledges the party to legislation forbidding federal appointees from holding office in state or national political organizations, or taking part as delegates in state or national conventions. The party demands such restrictions of the power of the courts as shall leave to the people the ultimate authority to determine fundamental questions of social welfare and public policy. Other planks declare for: law providing for one day of rest in seven three shifts of eight hours in continuous industry; prohibition of the premature employment of children; provision for insurance against hazards of sickness, accident, invalidism, involuntary employment and old age; strengthening and efficient enforcement of pure food laws; establishment of federal department in which shall be combined all agencies relating to public health; revival of the country life commission and cooperation by the government with the farmer to make the farm more productive; provision for rural banking and rural credits, and strengthening of the antitrust laws against a monopoly and social practices.

The explosion occurred in the row der magazine attached to the palace and set the building after the fire spread to the entire structure and the palace soon was in ruins. The explosion, the cause of which has not yet been ascertained, occurred at 3:15 o'clock in the morning, and the shock shattered the palace. Fire followed quickly upon the explosion, and the palace, which was a wooden structure, was consumed in half an hour. During the fire there were a great number of explosions of munitions of war which had been stored in the cellars below the palace. All the houses around the palace were greatly damaged by the explosion, but as the palace itself was isolated, the firemen succeeded in their efforts to localize the fire. The members of the family of the president, all of whom were in the palace at the time, were saved, but President Leconte himself perished in the flames. Picks Death By Shooting: If there are five men willing to underake the task of shooting a man or death, Warden George W. Cowling, of the Nevada state prison at Reno, anxious to obtain their services. He has made efforts to find the foe, but has met with no success, and the date of the execution has been set for August 20. The situation that confronts the warden is due to the new law which grants the privilege to a man condemned to death to choose the means whereby he shall be put to death—whether by the rope or by shooting. The man to be killed is Andrigt Mirkovich, of Tonopah, and he prefers to be shot. 109 Killed In German Mine An explosion of black damp and coal dust in the Lorraine shaft of the coal field in the village of Gerthe, four miles from Blochum, Germany, cost the lives of 109 miners, according to the official report. Two other miners were severely and twenty-three slightly injured. Death was practically instantaneous in all cases. The cause of the explosion did not yet be definitely ascertained, but it is thought that a blast reached a big pocket of gas. The emperor, who is now at Essen, has donated 15,000 marks to aid the families of the victims. Bullet Kills at Two Miles County Detective Schang, of Altoona, Pa., has discovered that the bullet, which killed John Young last Wednesday night was fired from a gun more than two miles distant. Alfred Buchanan at Brush Mountain was trying an old Swiss army rifle carrying a bullet weighing 200 grains, not knowing its power when he fired. Young, with a number of companions, was watching a display of fireworks in this city when he was struck by the bullet. The bullet was found on Saturday near where he fell. —If you answer any of these Add questions, please do so. French Musician Was Author of Many Operas, the Latest Being "Don Quichotte," and His Works Were Popular in America. Jules Enrile Frederic Massenet, the famous French composer, died in Paris, France. Among Massenet's best known operas are "Thaïs," "Don Caesar de Bazan," "Herodade," "Manon," and that aquiline presentation of a phase of mediaeval life, "Le Jongleur de Notre Dame," which is so deservedly popular in America. Massenet had been suffering for a long time with cancer, but his death was not expected yet. He was a grand officer of the Legion of Honor and a member of the French institute. Massenet was the youngest memoir of a family of twenty-one children. He was born at Montaud, near St. Etienne, May 13, 1842. His father was one of Napoleon the first most distinguished officers. On the lad developing a strong musical talent he was sent to the Conservatoire at the age of fifteen, becoming in turn the pupil of Laurent, Reber and Ambrose Thomas. In 1859 Jules Massenet obtained the first prize for instrumental playing. "Four years later one of his compositions, a canata entitled 'David Rizlo,' won him a Prix do Rome. After five years spent in Italy and Germany he made his debut as a composer at the Opera Comique, and his great successes have all taken place in his classical theatre, notably "Le Rol de Lahore," "Manon," and "Encharmonde." M. Massenet was an earnest and painstaking composer. He always got up at 5 and worked steadily till noon. He was one of the first to recognize Wagner's genius, his favorite opera being "Tannhauser." Unlike Gounod, Massenet always composed without a piano, and he considered that his best work was done in the country and out of doom. In 1878 he replaced M. Baxin as professor at the Conservatoire, and was elected a member of the French Institute in 1881. "Herodlade," "Thais" and "Le Jongleur" are his works best known in America, although "Manon" was produced in New York in 1885, with Minaud Hauk in the title role. In "Le Encharmone," Massenet exploited Sanderson, the American singer, while Mary Garden, on the American side of the Atlantic, has been a chief interpreter of his later roles. Mammut's latest opera, "Dom quichotte," which has already been produced in Paris, will have its first American production this fall. THE BOMMORD PLANET, BOMMORD, VIRGINIA. Professor Hanga Himself. Professor James H. Corey, aged forty years, of Donnae Academy Prepartory School, near Granville, Ohio, committed suicide by hanging himself. Mrs. Corey is in a critical condition from the shock, and it is feared she cannot recover. Professor Corey was confined in a hospital for the insane fourteen years ago, but was discharged, physicians maintaining that his mental pulse was completely restored. Armed Men Rob Street Car. Four men boarded a Western avenue street car near West Fourteenth street. Chicago, covered passengers with resolvers and escaped after taking $31 and a watch from the conductor and jewelry from several passengers. A. C. Thinnum, a cigar dealer, was chosen into unconsciousness and robbed of $1500 and jewelry by three men on the north side. Burglar Killed by Safe's Heavy Door. The burglary of the Howe, Ind., post office safe caused the death of one of the burglaries, who was crushed by the heavy iron door when the explosion occurred. Officers found his body in the wreckage. His companion escaped with a large sore. TRIPLE CRIME Finds Wife and Daughter-Dead—Killia Self With Gas. When neighbors failed to see any signs of life about the home of Bort Dearalph, a painter, near Wentling Corners, Pa., they broke into the house, and found Dearalph, his wife and the latter's daughter, Irene, dead. Mrs. Dearalph had been choked and the top of her head blown off with a rifle, which lay on the floor. The daughter, was shot in the breast. Dearalph lay on the floor with one end of a rubber hose attached"to an open gas jet. Dearalph had tied the hose in place with a string, the knot being on the back of his head. Woman Shot to Death Mrs. Georgia Smith, a handsome young widow, with one child, was shot to death in Chattanooga, Tenn., by Mrs. Cleveland Echols, a bride of a year, when the latter found the former sitting in the lap of Echols. The tragedy occurred in the home of Mrs. Smith, which adjoins that of Mrs. Echols. Mrs. Echols suspected her husband of being intimate with Mrs. Smith. She watched her husband and saw him enter Mrs. Smith's home. There the jealous wife followed with a shotgun and found her husband, with Mrs. Smith in his lap kissing and hugging him. Mrs. Echols at once discharged both barrels of the shotgun into Mrs. Smith, and she died in the arms of Echols. When arrested Mrs. Echols said: "She ruined my home! I had to kill her." Public sympathy is with Mrs. Echols who will soon become a mother. Dr. Theodore Hammann Dead.

Who Died In Parle From Cancer. [Image of a human skull with visible dental and cranial features, including a prominent brow and eye socket. The skull is dark with white and black markings. The image is cropped to focus on the skull area.] Sent to Prison For Using Employer's Car Without Permission. Judge Norman, of Brooklyn, handed a body blow to a joy riding chauffeur in his court when he sentenced Richard Kenny to serve eleven months and twenty eight days in the penitentiary for taking his employ as a mobile outfit by a spin without permission. This constitutes grand larceny in the second degree, according to the law put into effect last year. James Anderson was the complainant in this case. He testified that though Kenny did no harm to the car he had used it without permission, and Anderson said he was determined to make an example of his chauffeur. In sentencing Kenny Judge Dykes said. "Your profession has a large number of extenuates and professional crooks in its ranks. I should think the men of your profession would unite to purge the number of criminals just as the men of the police department would purge their ranks of the crooked policemen." National Chairman Hilles Names Advisory Committee. Chairman Charles D. Hillea, of the national Republican committee, and William Barnes, Jr., chairman of the advisory committee of the national committee, met in New York. William Barnes, Jr., chairman of the Republican state committee, is chairman of the board.

ONE NEGRO AND SIX ITALIANS Only One Man of the Condemned Six Showed Any Fear, and He Had to Be Carried to Death Chair. Seven human lives were legally taken in the death chair at Sling Sling. N. Y., establishing a new record for wholesale electroniation in America. Of the seven victims six were Italians and the other man was colored. The following five men were put to death for participation in the murder of Mrs. Mary Hall in a farmhouse at Griffin's Corner, Westchester County, last November: Vincenzo Cona, Angela Galista, Lorenzo Loborio Calf, Filpeo Demarco and Salvatore Demarco. Joseph Ferrone was electrocuted for murdering his wife in New York City on Oct. 24, 1911, by cutting her throat. The colleted man put to death was John W. Collins, who shot and killed Policeman Thomas Lynch in New York city July 1, 1911, while crazed with drink. The killing of the five Italian condemned for the murder of Mrs. Hall took place while hundreds of telegrams sent by Italian organizations in all parts of the country, begging emency, lay unopened at Albury on the desk of Governor Dix, who is attending the military manouvres in Connection. Extraordinary efforts had been made to save Call, who maintained stoutly to the last that he was innocent. Call tried to prove an alibi by declaring that he was working for a gas company in Brooklyn, but as the employees of the gas company are designated by number instead of by name the deumed man could not establish his claim. The equine seven executions took place in one hour and fifteen minutes. There was not a bitch. Experts who were present, designated it the most "successful" electrocution they had ever seen. Sheriff Julius Harburger, of New York, who had been waging a campaign against death by electrocution, and who was present, said that the executions were entirely humane. The voltage was kept at 1880. The first man to enter the ditch chamber was Collins, who walked between Head Keeper Connaughton and Rev. F. F. Bierneper, of New York, a Lutheran missionary. At one minute to 5 o'clock Collins had been strapped in the chair, and the bar was flung which allowed the deadly electricity to course through the man's body. Collins was pronounced dead at seven minutes after 5. None of the sign gave any exhibition of fear except Cona, who painted and had to be carried to the chair. The five Hall murderers protested their innocence to the last. It had been expected that Ferrone, who has been giving the authorities a great deal of trouble, would cause a scene, but he stepped in the chair, and he exclaimed: "I'm ready to go." Ferrone had to be watched closely for fear of suicide up to the last minute, for he repeatedly made the boast that he would never die in the electric chair. Only two contacts were necessary to kill 'all', who was dead in less than five minutes after being placed in the chair. The others received three shocks. Seven men now remain in the death house awaiting their end. None of them is slated to die in the immediate future, and there will be a considerable time before the chair is again put into use, as all of the men now in the house have their cases on appeal. UNCOVERS A DINICHTHYS W. C. Bryant Finds Remains of Fish That Lived Ages Ago. Remains of an ancient sea fish, the dinlethia, have been found in Eighteen Mile, creek, Chantiquaqua county, N.Y. by W. C. Bryant of the Buffalo Society of Natural Sciences. The fish resembles the shark and lived centuries ago. The rock in which the remains were embedded shows that it was of the sand bar formation, which existed in the ages when that region was part of the sea bottom.

[Name] Inhuman Parents Jailed. James C. Smothers and his wife, Marie, convicted, were convicted in the quarter of one court in Philadelphia on these bills of indictment accusing them of aggravated assault and battery on two year old Jacob Smothers, son of the man and stepson of the woman. The couple were sentenced to the custopen punishment by Judge Ralston for not less than six years nor more than nine years. Neighbors gave testimony against the conspirator and little Jacob was presented to the gory, and his brushed and battled body was unto explosion of the cremains inflicted upon him. His throat showed wounds caused by rats attacking him in the collar of the house at 1251 Morley street; his left arm had been fractured and had never received special care. His back was a mass of years caked by a red hot poker being placed against the flesh by the scorpion her. It was decked, and other parts of his body and face were covered with bruises. Sick Man Turning Black. Afflicted by a mysterious malady which has baffled more than fifty Lily Louis players called in consultation, S. A. Hendricks, a sixty-five years old farmer, of Van Buren, Mo. is turning black at the Mayfield sanitarium. Five months ago his skin was fair and ruddy. Now his completion is several shades darker than that of a mulatto, and a rapid change to black is carrying him through successively darker shades. This change is so swift that it can be noted from day to day by the physicians, who are powerless to check it, or, even to find a satisfactory explanation for the strange transformation. When Hendricks was taken to the sanitarium, July 25, he weighed 190 pounds. His present weight is 25 pounds. To Cross Sea in Aeroplane. An aeroplane capable of making 2,000 miles an hour and intended to cross the Atlantic in a day, is the ambition of Edgar L. Keulling, of Scranton, Pa., a devotee of aviation. He is building his high speed aeroplane at the Minneola aviation field, Long Island. Keulling, who is visiting his mother in Scranton, said that he is confident his machine will do as he hopes. Experiments will be made in two weeks. Keulling said. The machine will be equipped with wireless apparatus and a sectional dirigible balloon to carry a gasoline tank of four gallons capacity. Finds remnants of two-foot Horse. Professor Richard L. Hall, of the chair of paleontology of Yale university, has reached Planck view, Tex. after ending a successful fossil hunt in Briacou county. Professor Hall reports finding the fossil remains of a two-foot horse, some long long snout and tail which his trip to Texas was made. Among his finds were the bones of a camel and ground each $150,000 For Gettysburg. The general deficiency appropriation bill, carrying $61,522,000, was passed by the house.

On the other side of the blank was another signature opposite a space marked on the official blank. Major A. Butt. To order in chapel of the watch." The authenticity of the note has not been established. The bottle was found by Joseph F. Allen, of North Attleboro; A. J.

ON THIRD PARTY DOCTRINES Says Old Parties Are Merely "Husks" and Declares For Regulation of Courts and Control of the Trusts. With the Coliseum in Chicago packed with men and women and frequently interrupted by choers, Colonel Hossevell outlined the doctrines of the new National Progressive party. Tuesday a session of the convention was called to order by Temporary Custarman Heveridge. After prayer by a local minister, the report of the credentials committee was adopted. The colored contestants from Mississippi and Florida were re- jected and the white delegates were reasted. Colonel Ropervelt was escorted to the convention by a committee of fifteen delegates and was greeted with prolonged applause. When quiet was restored he began the delivery of his speech. Mr. Roosevelt's speech strikes a key note for his followers and supporters in the new party. It lays down the plan of battle to be waged by the National Progressive party "The two old parties," he said, "are husks, with no real soul within either, divided on artificial lines, less robust and privilege controlled, each a jumble of incongruous elements and neither during to speak out wisely and fearlessly what should be said on the vital issue of the day." As opposed to this incongruity and insincerity, of action he asserted that the National Progressive platform will be "a contract with the people," with definite and concrete provision to be carried out if the people ratify the contract on election day as exactly and honestly "as it were actually enforceable under the law." Neither the Republican nor the Democratic platforms or managers show any adequate recognition of the mighty fact "that we are now in the midst of a great economic evolution." This is an important change and improvement must be guided "by common sense and the highest ethical standards" in order to prevent reasonable evolution from becoming dangerous revolution. The Democratic party, as is indicated by its current content, is the most common sense, and the Republican party, by its record of stolen delegates at the Chicago convention, lacks the ethical standards. "The actions of the Chicago convention and to an only less degree of the striking fashion how little the people do rule under our present conditions." In order to assure this popular rule Mr. Roosevelt urged the adoption of presidential primaries, popular election of senators, the short ballot, efficient committee, and the initiative and referendum and result. The result should be applied to administrative officers. The Courts and the People. Under this head Mr. Roosevelt strongly emphasized the necessity of the sovereign people preserving a check on every branch of public service. The American people and not the federal government are fundamental policies. This does not mean that the people are to interfere in cases which involve merely questions of justice between individuals except that "means should be devised for making it easier than at present to do so." But when a judicial decision involves an interpretation of what the people mean by the constitutions which they have framed and laws passed by the people are nullified because the courts may those laws are contrary to the possession there must be a "reference to the people of the public effect of such decisions under forms securing full deliberation," to the end that the people may rectify this alleged defect in their constitution by a popular vote having the force of a constitutional amendment. "I am well aware that every upholder of privilege, every hired agent or beneficiary of the special interests, including many well meaning parlor reformers, will be anarchy" or "anarchy—the same terms they used in the past. In denouncing the movements to control the railroads and to control public utilities. As a matter of fact, the propositions I make constitute neither anarchy nor anarchy. In a contrary, a corrective for socialism and an antidote to anarchy." Control of the Trusts. In addition to punishment for wrongdoing by the trusts, the imperative demand is effective and complete regulation. There should be applied to all industrial concerns engaged in interstate commerce in which there is either monopoly or control of the market the principles already adopted "in regulating transnational commerce. The antitrust law should be kept on the statute book to be invoked against every big concern tending to monopoly or guilty of anti-social practices. At the same time a national industrial commission should be created which should have complete power to regulate and control all the great industrial concerns engaged in practically all of them in this country. This commission should exercise over these industrial concerns like powers to those exercised over the railways by the interstate commerce commission and over the national banks by the coprocessor of the currency and additional powers it found necessary to have free access to the books of each corporation and power to find exactly how it treats its employees. the rivals and the general public. Any corporation voluntarily coming under the commission should not be prosecuted under the anti-trust law as long as the commission is not submitting themselves to the regulations of the commission or clearly grazing or violating its orders are --- prosecuted under the antitrust law and convicted, the commission should have the duty of seeking "that the degree of the court is put into effect completely only in this way can there be aided in the enforcement of those attendant upon the present investigations, prosecution of the Standard Oil and the tobacco trust, a prosecution which has merely in an increased price to the public, impinged on the small competitor and actual financial benefit to the truth themselves. Justice For Wageworkers. On the tariff he says: "I believe in a protective tariff, but I believe in it as a principle approached from a standpoint of the interests of the whole people, and not as a bundle of preferences to be given favorite individuals." He believes the American people favor the principle of a protection that was in effect against the wrongdoing and unjust treatment of that policy and the abuses in pass legislation. "It is not merely the tariff that should be revised, but the method of tariff making and of tariff administration." The High Cost of Living. "The cost of living," says Mr. Roosevelt, "has risen during the last few years out of all proportion to the increase of most salaries and wages. What is first necessary is fearlessness in acquiring the whole subject, made absolutely by a nonpartisan body of experts with no prejudice to warp their mind, no private object to serve, who shall recommend any necessary remedy bedded on or wearing only may be hurt thereby and wearing only may be interested of the people as a whole." The Republicans promise such an inquiry, but their rank dissonance of action at the Chicago convention "makes their every promise worthless." They will turn to the Democratic party for help to bring the first the Democratic party "affects to find the high cost of living in the tariff," ignoring the patent fact that the problem is world wide, equally pressing in free trade England and in highly protected Germany. Moreover, the Democrats will take all duties off the products of the farmer, and we "certainly cannot afford to have the farmer struck down." Various elements, economic, political and social, are pointed out by Mr. Woodward, the chief cost of living. But effective legislation regarding it can only be framed on a comprehensive scale after a thorough, scientific and promot inquiry. TAFT DEFENDS ADMINISTRATION Assentia Upholding of the Constitution Is Prime Issue of Fight and Declares For Protective Tariff. Defining his attitude on the tariff and the trusts and , denouncing the Democrats and Roosevelt Progressives an, endorsing policies that he dema- tacks on the constitution and as lea- nging toward socialism, President Taft at the White House formally accepted the Republican nomination for the presidency. Mr. Taft was surrounded by his family and many friends in the historic cast room of the White House as he received from Senator Root the offi- cial notification of his nomination, in which the man who presided at the Chicago convention said: "Your title to the nomination is as clear and unimpeachable as the title of any candidate since political con- ventions began." Mrs. Tatt, radiant and happy, stood by her husband's side. Charles, their younger son, was there, too. They had come from their summer cottage at Beverly. Mrs. Helen Tatt and Robert, the elder son, were not present. Moving picture machine operators clicked off thousands of feet of film while Senator Foot and the president were speaking. It was the first time a moving picture had been taken in the White House. The state department will preserve one of the rolls in its archives. In his speech Mr. Taft set forth the achievement and aims of his administration and what he considered the cardinal principles of the party and the real issues of the coming national campaign. He reserved the right to amplify his declaration as the campaign progressed. The supreme issue, the president declared, was that of the maintenance of the nation's institutions and the preservation of the constitution, threatened, he said, on the one hand by the Democratic party and on the other by those Republicans who had left the party to try their fortunes in a new one. Next in importance he placed the tariff. In the proposals of the Democrats for reductions in the present schedules, he said, lay danger of business depression and hard times. The Republican principle of revision only where scientific investigation shows it necessary, and always with the protective principle in view, marked the straight road to continued prosperity and commercial peace. He asserted the high cost of living could not be traced to the tariff. Regulation of the trusts he declared was only less important as an bonus than the tariff. He advocated legislation supplementary to the Sherman law to make specific acts misdemeanors, but opposed the Democratic proposal of placing the burden of proof of "reasonable restraint" on the defendants. He criticized his stand for a law for voluntary Federal incorporation. Mr Taft did not mention either Colonel Russell Covell or Governor Wilson by name, but referred to both. The Roosevelt theory of "recall of decision" he termed a "grotesque proposition," assailed "unprincipled muckranking" as largely responsible for social unrest, and attacked the initiative, referendum and recall. He closed with an appeal for the support of those Democrats "who view with the same aversion that we Republicans do, the radical propositions of change of form of government that are recklessly advanced to satisfy what is supposed to be popular clamor." Warns Nations Off America. The Lodge resolution warning the nations of the world not to establish military or naval stations on either of the American continents, was recommended for passage by the senate in a report by the foreign relations committee. The measure asserts that such encroachment upon the policy laid down in the Monroe doctrine would be "regarded with grave concern" by the United States. The real basis of the resolution, which it was expected that the senate would adopt without further delay, is to warn Japan not to establish a naval or pacuido-commercial base at Magdalena bay, Mexico. The resolution specifies that foreign corporations or associations "which have such a relation to another government, not American, as to give that government practical power of control for national purposes," shall be deemed to come within the warning. Jury Acquita Mrs. Grace. "God bless you, gentlemen!" cried Mrs. Daisy Ulrich Opie Grace when the jury in Atlanta, Ga., found her not guilty of the charge of shooting her husband. There was a note of bysteria in Mrs. Grace's voice, and she seemed on the verge of a collapse, but her lawyers patted her on the shoulder and urged her to restrain herself, and she soon became calm. Then the crowd in the court room sheered the verdict and surged about Mrs. Grace, many of the women weeping. At last the deadly whiteness of Mrs. Grace's face was relieved by a flush and she began to smile. Then she approached, each of the twelve jurors and gave them thanks. "I feel like kissing and bugging you all," said Mrs. Grace. "I trusted you all the time. I knew you would not believe what they said about me." HIS RIGHT HAND—HIS LEFT HAND. THOU SHALT NOT STEAL PROPERTY OF THE G.O.P. HANDS OFF! LET DOWN THE BARS WILL YOU? FOREIGN MADE GOODS FREE TRADE CHEAP LABOR NEVER! PROTECTIVE TARIFF RESTED WORK MOTHER Eugene Grace was not in court. He was taken back to his home in Newman, and there heart the verdict. "I don't care what the jury said," declared the paralyzed husband; "she is guilty, and she knows it." Grace announced that he will make a statement about the case and at once sue for a divorce. The verdict was generally expected. It was conceded that the state failed to sustain the charge that Mrs. Grace had drugged and shot her husband and locked him in to die in order to get $25,000 insurance on his life. CORNWELL KILLS HIMSELF ON TRAIN Fires Fatal Shot While In Custody of Constable. MAY BE SHORT $200,000 Lawyer Suspected of Squandering Large Chester County Estates of Which He Was In Charge. Colonel Gibbons Gray Cornwell, a prominent lawyer of West Chester, Pa., and commander of the Sixth regiment, N. G. P., committed suicide on a Pennsylvania railroad train from New York to Philadelphia. Cornwell was sent in front of Constable William Mullen, of West Chester, who was an old friend. Mullen was bringing him from New York to West Chester. As the train pulled out of the North Philadelphia station the prisoner reached for his handbag. He opened it and quickly pulling out a large army revolver, placed it in his mount hand pulled the trigger. The constable saw the action too late to prevent it. Just before leaving New York city Colonel Cornwell was searched by the New York police, so how the weapon came to be in his possession is a mystery. The bullet tore through the roof of his mouth and came out on top of his head. Conductor Booz, in charge of the train, stopped it at a telegraph signal tower between North and West Philadelphia stations and an ambulance was telegraphed for. Colonel Cornwell died before the West Philadelphia station was reached. The physician in charge of the University hospital ambulance, which was waiting at the West Philadelphia station, pronounced him dead. The body was then turned over to the police of the Thirty-ninth street and Lanaster avenue station, who took it to the morgue in the patrol wagon. Constable Mullen was placed under Taylor in Los Angeles Times. arrest and was locked up at the Thirty-ninth street and Lancaster avenue station. Constable William Mullen left West Chester for New York with a warrant sworn out by Alfred Sharpless, one of the executors of the Derrick estate, charging Cornwell with the larceny of two bonds belonging to that estate. An investigation made in West Chester showed that Cornwell & Cornwell had the handling of estates amounting to $205,000. As developments are reached in the matter the amount gradually grows. It may reach $200,000. The shortages are confined to private estates being handled by the colonel. It is said all the shortages are due to his dealings in stocks, in which he has been a heavy loser for many months. It is not believed the alleged defalcations cover more than two years at the most, but they were heavy during that time. One of the largest estates involved now appears to be that of the late Captain George W. Roberts, of Allerton, a handsome country place west of West Chester, where Mrs. Roberts and her son, George W., Jr., now make their home. When seen, Mr. Roberts volunteered the information that the estate may be heavily involved, although no examination has been attempted. At the death of Captain Roberts his wealth was variously estimated at sums ranging between $100,000 and $200,000. No accounting could be secured from the colonel for the last two years. The announcement of Colonel Cornwell's resignation as commanding officer of the Sixth regiment was made by Brigadier General Coryell, N. G. P., at West Chester. He received the resignation by mail from New York. The first actual indication of serious developments came when two personal judgment notes, one for $800 and the other for $400, were entered against Cornwell in the prothonotary's office at West Chester. Both are for personal loans, one upon the National Bany of Chester County and the other given at the First National bank, of West Chester. Kills Self After Care For Father.

Eventually. Imported & Domestic LIQUORS S. W. ROBINSON Mail Order House, Richmond, Va. --- The Tariff Has Become a System of Favors—Should Be Gradually Reduced—High Schedulees Responsible For Trusts and Cost of Living—Definition of Fundamental Democracy. Mr. James and Gentlemen of the Notification Committee—Speaking for the national Democratic convention, recently assembled at Baltimore, you have notified me of my nomination by the Democratic party for the high office of president of the United States. Allow me to thank you very warmly for the generous terms in which you have, through your distinguished chairman, conveyed the notification and for the thoughtful personal courtesy with which you have performed your interesting and important errand. I accept the nomination with a deep sense of its unusual significance and of the great honor done me and also with a very profound sense of my responsibility to the party and to the nation. You will expect me in accepting the honor to speak very plainly the faith that is in me. You will expect me. in brief, to talk politics and open the campaign in words whose meaning no one need doubt. You will expect me to speak to the country. We cannot intelligently talk politics unless we know to whom we are talking and in what circumstances. The present circumstances are clearly unusual. No previous political campaign in our time has disclosed anything like them. The audience we address is in no ordinary temper. It is no audience of partisans. Citizens of every class and party and prepossession sit together, a single people, to learn whether we understand their life and know how to afford them, the counsel and guidance they are now keenly aware that they stand in need of. We must speak not to catch yokes, but to satisfy the thought and conscience of a people deeply stirred by the conviction that they have come to a critical turning point in their moral and political development. The Awakened Nation. We stand in the presence of an awakened nation, impatient of partisan man make believe. The public man who does not realize the fact and feel its stimulation must be singularly unacceptable to the influences that stir in every quarter about him. Plainly, it is a new age. The tonic of such a time is very exhilarating. It requires self restraint not to attempt too much, and yet it would be cowardly to attempt too little. It is in the broad light of this new day that we stand face to face—with what? Plainly not with questions of party, not with a context for office, not with a petty struggle for advantage, Democrat against Republican, liberal against conservative, progressive against reactionary. With great questions of right and of justice, rather—questions of national development, of the development of character and of standards of action no less than of a better business system, more free, more equitable, more open to ordinary men, practicable to live under, tolerable to work under, or a better fiscal system whose taxes shall not come out of the pockets of the many to go into the pockets of the few and within whose intricacies special privilege may not so easily find covert. At such a time and in the presence of such circumstances what is the meaning of our platform and what is our responsibility under it? What are our duty and our purpose? The platform is meant to show that we know what the nation is thinking about, what it is most concerned about, what it wishes corrected and what it desires to see attempted that is new and constructive and intended for its long future. But for us it is a very practical document. We are not about to ask the people of the United States to adopt our platform. We are about to ask them to intrust us with office and power and the guidance of their affairs. They will wish to know what sort of men we are and of what definite purpose, what translation of action and of policy we intend to give to the general terms of the platform which the convention at Baltimore put forth should we be elected. The Work to Be Done. The platform is not a program. A program must consist of measures, administrative acts and acts of legislation. The proof of the pudding is the seating thereof. How do we intend to make it edible and digestible? From this time on we shall be under interrogation. How do we expect to handle each of the great matters that must be taken up by the next congress and the next administration? What is there to do? It is hard to sum the great task up, but apparently this is the sum of the matter: There are two great things to do. One is to set up the rule of justice and of right for such matters as the tariff, the regulation of the trusts and the prevention oil monopoly, the adaptation of our banking and currency laws to the varied uses to which our people must put them, the treatment of those who do the daily labor in our factories and mines and throughout all our great industrial and commercial undertakings, and the political life of the people of the Philippines, for whom we hold governmental power in trust, for their service, not our own. The other, the additional duty is the great task of protecting our people and our resources and of keeping open to the whole people the doors of opportunity through which they must, generation by generation, pass if they are to make conquest of their fortunes in health, in freedom, in peace and in contentment. In the performance of this second great duty we are face to face with questions of conservation and of development, questions of forests and water powers and mines and waterways, of the building of an adequate merchant marine, and the opening of every highway and facility, and the setting up of every safeguard needed by an industrious, expanding nation. In Partnership With the People. In Partnership With the People. These are all great matters upon which everybody should be heard. We have got into trouble in recent years chiefly because these large things which ought to have been handled by taking counsel with as large a number of persons as possible, because they touched every interest and the life of every class and region, have in fact been too often handled in private conference. They have been settled by very small and often deliberately exclusive groups of men who undertook to speak for the whole nation, or, rather, for themselves in the terms of the whole nation—very honestly it may be, but very ignorantly sometimes, and very shortsightedly, too—a poor substitute for genuine common counsel. No group of directors, economic or political, can speak for a people. They have neither the point of view nor the knowledge. We need no revolution; we need no excited change we need only a new point of view and a new method and spirit of counsel. We are servants of the people, the whole people. The nation, has been unnecessarily, unreasonably at war within itself. Interest has clashed with interest when there were common principles of right and of fair dealing which might and should have bound them all together, not as rivals, but as partners. As the servants of all we are bound to undertake the great duty of accommodation and adjustment. We cannot undertake it except in a split which some find it hard to understand. Some people only smile when you speak of yourself as a servant of the people; it seems to them like affectation or mere demagogy. They ask what the unthinking crowd knows or comprehends of great complicated matters of government. They shrug their shoulders and lift their eyebrows when you speak as if you really believed in presidential primaries, in the direct election of United States senators and in an utter publicity about everything that concerns government, from the sources of campaign funds to the intimate debate of the highest affairs of state. The Public & Noble Whole. They do not or will not comprehend the solemn thing that is in your thought. You know as well as they do that there are all sorts and conditions of men—the unthinking mixed with the wise, the reckless with the prudent, the unsupricious with the fair and honest—and you know, what they sometimes forget, that every class, without exception, affords a sample of the mixture, the learned and the fortunate no less than the uneducated and the struggling mass. But you see more than they do. You see that these multitudes of men, mixed, of every kind and quality, constitute somehow an organic and noble whole, a single people, and that they have interests which no man can privately determine without their knowledge and counsel. That is the meaning of representative government itself. You may think that I am wandering off into a general disquisition that has little to do with the business in hand, but I am not. This is business-business of the deepest sort. It will solve our difficulties if you will but take it as business. The Tariff. So how it makes business out of the tariff question. The tariff question does well in our time at any rate has not been business. It has been politic. Tariff schedules have been made up for the purpose of keeping as large a number as possible of the rich and influential manufacturers of the country in a good humor with the Republican party, which desired their constant financial support. The tariff has become a system of flavors, which the phraseology of the schedule was often deliberately contrived to conceal. It becomes a matter of business, of legitimate business, only when the partnership and understanding it represents are between the leaders of congress and the whole people of the United States instead of between the leaders of congress and small groups of manufacturers demanding special recognition and consideration. That is why the general idea of representative government becomes a necessary part of the tariff question. Who when you come down to the hard facts of the matter have been represented in recent years when our tariff schedules were being discussed and determined not on the floor of congress, for that is not where they have been determined, but in the committee rooms and conferences? That is the heart of the whole affair. Will you can you, bring the whole people into the partnership or not? No one is discontented with representative government. It falls under question only when it ceases to be representative. It is at bottom a question of good faith and morals. How does the present tariff look in the light of it? I say nothing for the moment about the policy of protection conceived and carried out as a disinterested statesman might conceive it. Our own clear conviction all Democracy is that, in the last analysis, the THE BONDSOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. only safe and legitimate object of tariff duties, of taxes of every other kind, is to raise revenue for the support of the government. But that is not my present point. We denounce the Payne-Aldrich tariff act as the most conspicuous example ever afforded the country of the special favors and monopolistic advantages which the leaders of the Republican party have so often shown themselves willing to extend to those to whom they looked for campaign contributions. Tariff duties, as they have employed them, have not been a means of setting up an equitable system of protection. They have been, on the contrary, a method of fostering special privilege. They have made it easy to establish monopoly in our domestic markets. Trusts have owed their origin and their secure power to them. Nà Sudden Disturbance. We do not ignore the fact that the business of a country like ours is exceedingly sensitive to changes in legislation of this kind. It has been built up, however ill advised, upon tariff schedules written in the way I have indicated, and its foundation must not be too radically or too suddenly disturbed. When we act we should act with caution and prudence, like men who know what they are about and not like those in love with a theory. It is obvious that the changes we make should be made only at such a rate and in such a way as will least interfere with the normal and healthful course of commerce and manufacture. But we shall not on that account act with timidity, as if we did not know our own minds, for we are certain of our ground and of our object. There should be an immediate revision, and it should be downward, unhealtily and steadily downward. It should begin with the schedules which have been most obviously used to kill competition and to raise prices in the United States, arbitrarily and without regard to the prices pertaining elsewhere in the markets of the world, and it should, before it is finished or intermitted, be extended to every item in every schedule which affords any opportunity for monopoly, for special advantage to limited groups of beneficiaries or for subsidized control of any kind in the market, or the enterprises of the country until special favors of every sort shall have been absolutely withdrawn and every part of our laws of taxation shall have been transformed from a system of governmental patronage into a system of just and reasonable charges which shall fall where they will create the least burden. Tariff Demoralizes Politics Tariff Demoralizes Politics. There has been no more demoralizing influence in our politics in our time than the influence of tariff legislation, the influence of the idea that the government was the grand dispenser of favors, the maker and unmaker of fortunes, and of opportunities such as certain men have sought in order to control the movement of trade and industry throughout the continent. It has made the government a prize to be captured and parties the means of effecting the capture. It has made the business men of one of the most virile and enterprising nations in the world timid, freeful, full of alarm; has robbed them of self confidence and mainly force until they have cried out that they could do nothing without the assistance of the government at Washington. It has made them feel that their lives depended upon the ways and means committee of the house and the finance committee of the senate (in these later years particularly the finance committee of the senate). They have insisted very anxiously that these committees should be made up only of their "friends" until the country in its turn grew suspicious and wondered how those committees were being guided and controlled, by what influences and plans of personal advantage. Government cannot be wholesomely conducted in such an atmosphere. Its very honesty is in jeopardy. For what has the result been? Prosperity? Yes, if by prosperity you mean vast wealth, no matter how distributed, or whether distributed, at all or not; if you mean vast enterprise built up to be presently concentrated under the control of comparatively small bodies of men, who can determine almost at pleasure whether there shall be competition or not. The nation as a nation has grown immensely rich. But what of the other side of the picture? It is not as easy for us to live as it used to be. Our money will not buy as much. High wages, even when we can get them, yield us no great comfort. TariF Causes High Prices Moreover, we begin to perceive some things about the movement of prices that concern us very deeply and fix our attention upon the tariff schedules with a more detailed determination than ever to get to the bottom of this matter. We have been looking into it at trials held under the Sherman act and in investigations in the committee rooms of congress, where men who wanted to know the real facts have been lost with impunity, and we begin to see very clearly what at least some of the methods are by which prices are fixed. We know that they are not fixed by the competitions of the market or by the antithe law of supply and demand, but we have found stated in all the primaries of economies, by private arrives with regard to what the supply should be and agreements among the producers themselves. Those who have are not even represented by counsel. The high cost of living is armored by private understanding. We naturally ask ourselves. How did these gentlemen get control of these things? Who handed our economic laws over to them for legislative and contractual alteration? We have in these disclosures still another view of the tariff, still another proof that not the people of the United States, but only a very small number of them, have been partners in that legislation. The trusts do not belong to the period of infant industries. They are not the products of the time, that old laborious time, when the great continent we live on was undeveloped, the young nation struggling to find itself and get upon its feet amidst older and more experienced competitors. They belong to a very recent and very sophisticated age, when men knew what they wanted and knew how to get it by the favor of the government. It is an another chapter in the natural history of power and of "governing classes." The next chapter will set us free again. I am not one of those who think that competition can be established by law against the drift of a world wide economic tendency; neither am I one of those who believe that business done upon a great scale by a single organization—call it corporation or what you will—is necessarily dangerous to the liberties, even the economic liberties, of a great people like our own, full of intelligence and of indomitable energy. I am not afraid of anything that is normal. I dare say we shall never return to the old order of individual competition and that the organization of business upon a great scale of co-operation is, up to a certain point, itself normal and inevitable. Sherman Law Amendments. Power in the hands of great business men does not make me apprehensive, unless it springs out of advantages which they have not created for themselves. Big business is not dangerous because it is big, but because its bigness is an unwholesome infiltration created by privileges and exemptions which it ought not to enjoy. The general terms of the present federal and trust law, forbidding "combinations in restraint of trade" have apparently proved ineffectual. Trusts have grown up under its ban very luxuriously and have pursued the methods by which so many of them have established virtual monopolies without serious let or blindrance. It has roamed against them like any sucking dove. I am not assessing the responsibility; I am merely stating the fact. But the means and methods by which trusts have established monopolies have now become known. It will be necessary to supplement the present law with such laws, both civil and criminal, as will effectually punish and prevent those methods, adding such other laws as may be necessary to provide suitable and adequate judicial processes, whether civil or criminal, to disclose them and follow them to final verdict and judgment. But the problem and the difficulty are much greater than that. There are not merely great trusts and combinations which are to be controlled and deprived of their power to create monopolies and destroy rivals. There is something bigger still than they are and more subtle, more evasive, more difficult to deal with. There are vast confederations as I may perhaps call them for the sake of convenience of banks, railways, express companies, insurance companies, manufacturing corporations, mining corporations, power and development companies and all the rest of the circle, bound together by the fact that the ownership of their stock and the members of their boards of directors are controlled and determined by comparatively small and closely interrelated groups of persons who, by their informal confederacy, may control. If they please and when they will, both credit and enterprise. They are part of our problem. Their very existence gives time to the suspicion of a "money trust," a concentration of the control of credit which may at any time become infinitely dangerous to free, enterprise. If such a concentration and control do not actually exist it is evident that they can easily be set up and used at will. Laws must be devised which will prevent this, if laws can be worked out by fair and free counsel that will accomplish that result without destroying or seriously embarrassing any sound or legitimate business undertaking or necessary and wholesome arrangement. The Labor Question. Let me say again that what we are seeking is not destruction of any kind nor the disruption of any sound or honest thing, but merely the rule of right and of the common advantage. I am happy to say that a new spirit has been to show itself in the last year, or two among influential men of business, and what is perhaps even more significant, among the lawyers who are their expert advisers and that this spirit has displayed itself very notably in the last few months in an effort to return in some degree at any rate to the practices of genuine competition. If I am right about this, it is going to be easier to act in accordance with the rule of right and justice in dealing with the labor question. The so called labor question is a question only because we have not yet found the rule of right in adjusting the interests of labor and capital. The welfare the happiness, the energy and spirit of the men and women who do the daily work in our mines and factories on our railroads, in our offices and parts of trade, in our farms and on the sea, are of the essence of our national life. There can be nothing wholesome unless their life is wholesome; there can be no contentment unless they are contented. Their physical welfare affects the soundness of the whole nation. We shall never get very far in the settlement of these vital matters so long as we regard everything done for the workingman, by law or by private agreement, as a concession yielded to keep him from agitation and a disturbance of our peace. Here again the sense of universal partnership must come into play if we are to act like statemen, as those who serve not a class, but a nation. The working people of America—if they must be distinguished from the minority that constitutes the rest of it—are, of course, the backbone of the nation. No law that safeguards their life, that improves the physical and moral conditions under which they live, that makes their hours of labor rational and tolerable, that gives them freedom to act in their own interest and that protects them where they cannot protect themselves can properly be regarded as class legislation or as anything but as a measure taken in the interest of the whole people, whose partnership in right action we are trying to establish and make real and practical. It is in this spirit that we shall act if we are genuine spokesmen of the whole country. Currendy Laws As 'our program is disclosed—for no man can, forecast it ready made and before counsel is taken of every one concerned—this must be its measure and standard, the interest of all concerned.' For example, in dealing with the complicated and difficult question of the reform of our banking and currency laws it is plain that we ought to consult very many persons besides the bankers, not because we distrust the bankers, but because they do not necessarily comprehend the business of the country, notwithstanding they are indispensable servants of it and may do a vast deal to make it hard or easy. No more bankers' plan will meet the requirements, no matter how honestly conceived. It should be by a merchants and farmers' plan as well, elastic in the hands of those who use it as an indispensable part of their daily business. In dealing with the Philippines we should not allow ourselves to stand upon any more point of pride as if, in order to keep our countenance in the families of nations, it were necessary for us to make the same blunders of selflessness that other nations have made. We are not the owners of the Philippine Islands. We hold them in trust for the people who live in them. They are theirs for the uses of their life. We are not even their partner. It is our duty as trustees to make whatever arrangement of government will be most servileable to their freedom and development. Here again we are to set up the rule of justice and of right. Presidential Primaries. The rule of the people is no ill-phrase. Those who believe in it, who does not that has caught the real spirit of America? believe that there can be no rule of right without it, that right in politics is made up of the interests of everybody, and every body should take part in the action that is to determine it. We have been keen for presidential primaries and the direct election of United States senators because we wanted the action of the government to be determined by persons whom the people had actually designated as men whom they were ready to trust and follow. We have been anxious that all campaign contributions and expenditures should be disclosed to the public in fullest detail because we regarded the influences which govern campaigns to be as much a part of the people's business as anything else connected with their government. We are working toward a very definite object, the universal partnership in public affairs upon which the purity of politics and its aim and spirit depend. I do not know any greater question than that of conservation. We have been a spendthrift nation and must now husband what we have left. We must do more than that. We must develop as well as preserve our water powers and must add great waterways to the transportation facilities of the nation to supplement the railways within our borders as well as upon the lathmus. We must revive our merchant marine, too, and fill the seas again with our own fleets. We must add to our present postoffice service a parcel post as complete as that of any other nation. We must look to the health of our people upon every hand as well as hearten them with justice and opportunity. This is the constructive work of government. This is the policy that has a vision and a hope and that looks to serve mankind. There are many slides to these great matters. Conservation is easy to generalize about, but hard to particularize about wisely. Reservation is not the whole of conservation. The development of great states must not be stayed indefinitely to await a policy by which our forests and water power can prudently be made use of. Use and development must go hand in hand. The policy we adopt must be progressive—not negative merely, as if we did not know what to do. Improving Our Rivers. With regard to the development of greater and more numerous waterways and the building up of a merchant marine, we must follow great constructive lines and not fall back upon the cheap device of bonnies and subsidies. In the case of the Mississippi river, that great central artery of our trade, it explain that the federal government must build and maintain the levees and keep the great waters in harness for the general use. The question of a merchant marine turns back to the tariff again, to which all roads seem to lead, and to our regulatory laws, which, if coupled with the tariff, might almost be supposed to have been intended to take the Ameri- can flag off the seas. Bounties are not necessary if you will but undo some of the things that have been done. Without a great merchant marine we cannot take our rightful place in the commerce of the world. Merchants who must depend upon the carriers of rival mercantile nations to carry their goods to market are at a disadvantage in international trade too manifest to need to be pointed out; and our merchants will not long suffer themselves—ought not to suffer themselves—to be placed at such a disadvantage. Our industries have expanded to such a point that they will burst their jackets if they cannot find a free outlet to the markets of the world, and they cannot find such an outlet unless they be given ships of their own to carry their goods—ships that will go the routes they want them to go—and prefer the interests of America in their sailing orders and their equipment. Our domestic markets no longer suffice. We need foreign markets. That is another force that is going to break the tariff down. The tariff was once a buildup; now it is a dam. For trade is reciprocal; we cannot sell unless we also buy. The very fact that we have at last taken the Panama canal seriously in hand and are vigorously pushing it toward completion in eloquent of our re- BADGES & BUTTONS, INC. 509 AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK BUILDING, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. Great Combination Offer. Send us $2.00 and secure the Richmond Planet and The Crisis for one year and thereby save 50 cents. awakened interest in international trade. We are not building the canal and pouring out million upon million of money upon its construction merely to establish a water connection between the two coasts of the continent, important and desirable as that may be, particularly from the point of view of naval defense. It is meant to be a great international highway. It would be a little ridiculous if we should build it and then have no ships to send through it. There have been years when not a single ton of freight passed through the great Suez canal in an American bottom, so empty are the sons of our ships and cannons. Industrial Education. There is another duty which the Democratic party has shown itself great enough and close enough to the people to perceive, the duty of government to share in promoting agricultural, industrial, vocational education in every way possible within its constitutional powers. No other platform has given this intimate vision of a party's duty. Education is part of the great task of conservation, part of the task of renewal and of perfected power. We have set ourselves a great program, and it will be a great party that carries it out. It must be a party with out entangling alliances with any special interest whatever. "It must have the spirit and the point of view of the new age. Men are turning away from the Republican party as organized under its old leaders because they found that it was not free, that it was entangled, and they are turning to us because they deem us free to serve them. We should go into this campaign confident of only one thing—confidence of what we want to do if intrusted with the government. It is not a partisan right we are entering upon. We are happily excused from personal attacks upon opponents and from all general public incidents against the men opposed to us. The facts are patent to everybody; we do not have to prove them; the more frank among our opponents admit them. Our thinking must be constructive from start to finish. We must show that, we understand the problems that confront us and that we are solely minded to deal with them, applying to them not restraints and notions, but hard sense and good courage. A Government For Public Good. A Government For Public Good. A presidential campaign may easily degenerate into a mere personal contest and so have its real dignity and significance. There is no indispensable man. The government will not collapse and go to pieces if any one of the gentlemen who are seeking to be intrusted with its guidance should be left at home. But men are instruments. We are as important as the cause we represent, and in order to be important must really represent a cause. What is our cause? The people's cause? That is easy to say, but what does it mean? The common angrief against any particular interest whatever? Yes, but that, too, needs translation into texts and policies. We represent the desire to set up an unengled government, a government that cannot be used for private purposes, either in the field of business or in the field of politics; a government that will not tolerate the use of the organization of a great party to serve the personal aims and ambitions of any individual and that will not permit legislation to be employed to further any private interest. It is a great conception, but I am free to serve it, as you also are. I could not have accepted a constitution which left me bound to any man or any group of No man can be just who is not free, and no man who has to show favors ought to undertake the soleen responsibility of government in any rank or post whatever, least of all in the supreme post of president of the United States. To be free is not necessarily to be wise. But wisdom comes with counsel, with the frank and free conference of untrammeled men united in the common interest. Should I be intrusted with the great office of president I would seek counsel wherever it could be had upon free terms. I know the temper of the great convention which pontificated me; I know the temper of the country that lay back of that convention and spoke through it. I heed with deep thankfulness the message you bring me from it. I feel that I am surrounded by men whose principles and ambitions are those of true servants of the people. I thank God and will take courage. DO YOU KNOW HIM? Consul General Crum's Letter. May 1, 1911. John Mitchell, Jr., Editor of Rich- mond Planet, Richmond, Va. John Richmond, Va. My Dear John Mitchell, I have been trying to locate John Richmond brother of William Richmond, a colored American who died here about three weeks after his arrival of malignant malaria, called the black water fever out here. William Richmond registered in this office as an American citizen, giving as his nearest kin, John Richmond, whose post office address in America was given at Pembroke Store Postoffice, Campbell county, Va. I addressed a dispatch to the State Department, reporting the death of William Richmond, requesting that they assist me in locating the brother of deceased. The department acknowledged the request patch. I wrote John Richmond, sending the letter to the above address. The letter was returned marked uncalled for. The property of the deceased, consisting of traveling bag, clothing, money and bank book are in my possession. I am anxious that his effects reach his brother, or if he be dead, satisfactory proof of the same must be furnished in order that I can proceed in settling the estate. I take this opportunity to con- gratulate you upon the splendid showing of the Mechanics' Bank in its achievements in the field of finance. If industry, honest endeavor, perseverance, determination and integ ligent management are essentials of success (and they are) then your future and the success of the great financial institution of which you are the honored head is assured. Many Americans, white and colo- red, come out here and lead care- less lives, disregarding advice as to the care of their health, and quickly pay the penalty in an early grave. I am, air.
