HARVARD COLLEGE AUG. 26 GAMBOLA The Deserted Negro. VOLUME XXIX. NUMBER 39. Mr. Roosevit had his way in Chicago. Despite the protests of Jane Addams and many others, the party of "progress," which bases its hopes for success on its programme of social justice, committed the injustice of throwing out the Negro delegates from the South declaring for a "illy-white" policy there, and adopted its platform without a single reference of any kind to the colored man. The terrible injustice done him the country over; the denial of civic and political rights guaranteed to him; his practically complete disfranchisement in the South—all of these things were forgotten because the apostle of justice himself hopes, with what Jane Addams herself called "statesmanlike (1) policy," to break up the Solid South. So the Negroes even those who worked for Roosevelt in the Taft Convention, were flung aside—just as he would fling aside any body or set of men when it served his purpose to do so. The Jews, themselves, to whom he has toadled and whom he has flattered by high appointments, he would discard as readily as he has Mr. Taft Mr. Root, and his other tried friends and Cabinet associates, should there be political profit to be gained by taking an anti-Semitic position. If there is any group of men and women in this country suffering from oppression, it is the colored people but the party of social justice is to think only of wrongs done to whites! Undoubtedly, Mr. Roosevelt is certain before the campaign is far along he will win back the disaffected Negroes. He has become a question achieved what seemed the impossible in regaining the affections of many disgruntled whites in the South after the Booker Washington luncheon, and of the Negroes after the Brownsville episode. His friends will not hesitate to use money in his behalf and the Negro himself, slow to anger and easy-going, may recruit those many handsome actions of Roosevelt in the White House, and those manly and just letters on the Negro question, the hypocrisy of which he has now so clearly demonstrated. Perhaps the Negro will be fooled again as he has been so many times before. Yet we cannot think this so likely this time; for there is increasing independence of thought among the educated colored people and a growing realization of their latent political power. As Mr. Andrew B. Humphrey pointed out the other day 600,000 Negroes in twenty-two States may elect the next President. They would if they could but stand together, if they had but the group-consciousness and solidarity so marked among others in our cosmopolitan population. It is unnecessary to say that if they had this political cohesiveness, Mr. Roosevelt would prefer their votes to those of the Southerners who he hopes, will give him the electoral vote of North Carolina, or Georgia, or Alabama. But he knows that it is almost impossible to trase a single political outcome, even in Ohio, to the colored voters as a whole. He himself, as Republican President and also as delegate to one Republican Convention after the other since 1884, helped to fool the Negroes with solemn promises about the enforcement of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments which were cavalierly disregarded after the votes were in. Like his Republican associates, he has pulled the wool over their eyes so often as to feel certain of his ability to do it again, and the chances are in his favor. Yet year by year independence does grow among the colored voters. If many vote for Roosevelt this year, it will help to break that tie with the Republican party which has kept the bulk of the Negroes in thraldom to it. By so much more will the habit of independent voting be established; while those among them who have seen through Roosevelt at last, will thereby be rendered the less likely to worship false gods hereafter. That Mr. Roosevelt did not see fit to placate the race by one of those platitudinous expressions of sympathy that leave a grateful feeling with those whom it is intended to help, yet butter no paranips, is a genuine surprise. He seems to have lost some of his political skill. That, the whole episode will embitter the unhappy lot of the Negroes of the country, let no one doubt. It is difficult for those who are enfranchised and socially free to realize how terrible the burden this race bears; how staggering with the handicaps and how helpless it is without the ballot to rectify its wrongs. Two recent happenings in the South are especially ominous. Our readers will recall how Mr. Roosevelt and the leading white men of the South have applauded Booker Washington's advice to the Negro to acquire property, to be industrious and law-abiding as the true way to racial and civic happiness. Well, in Mooresville, N. C., a self-respecting colored carpenter bought real estate some years ago in a decent section of the city; when he began to build his own home on it this Spring the City Council passed an ordinance forbidding it. In Greenville, N. C., two brothers were prevented by a segregation ordinance from purchasing a $65,000 piece of property they had contracted for. The representatives of Anglo-Saxon culture who owned the property refused to return the $150 paid for the purchase-option on the ground that the brothers had broken their contract! In Georgia, last June, Annie Bost wick, a Negress who had been previously declared insane, killed the white woman who employed her. She was shot to death by a mob of white men; defenders of Anglo-Saxon superiority. It is, of course, impossible for the colored population to hold the officials responsible or to participate in the election of others who will uphold them in their constitutional rights as to the ownership of property or guarantee them the protection of the law when accused of crime. They are helpless and hopeless, for they are without remedy. And the Progressive Party, according to its leader, says that, because there have been venal Negro delegates at Republican conventions in the past (by whose votes he has hitherto been only too glad to permit), this oppressed race shall have no representatives in the party of social justice! A distinguished Russian professor, recently, visiting in this country, on learning that ten millions of people suffer all the hardships of both the Russian peasant and the Russian Jew exclaimed: "Heaven's, how can they stand it?" The answer is that they must not stand it. Mr. Roosevelt's falsity to them will be of genuine value if it but stimulates them to further efforts in their own behalf, and strengthens their growing determination to stand as a solid phalanx on behalf of their rights—life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. (N. Y. Evening Post, Aug. 9, 1912.) Bonita, Arizona, July 31, 1912. Editor Mitchell. Dear Sir: Please allow space to advise the colored voters and also the women and children not to join either the Republican, Democrat or any other party of white politicians until their candidates come out squarely on the race question and agree to urge Congress to prepare a home in Africa for the American Negroes, where they shall have a government of their own, then support this candidate and no other. The lynching and burning, of our men and women alive by the white Americans for fifty years under the Republican and Democratic rule is enough for us. We are driven out of the land of blood and home of the incoming Jews. This is according to the will of God. D. R. THOMAS. Vancouver, B. C., July 8, 1912. To Editors, Business Men, Clergymen Teachers, Farmers, and All Whom It May Concern. Dear Sirs:—I am writing to ask you to favor me with the names and addresses of as many respectable colored families in your district, that you may know, who desire to come to settle in Canada, province of British Columbia. Coming here from the States seven years ago I have been very successful in my several undertakings. I now feel it, my duty, as far as possible, to try to be of some service to my race. What I wish them to know is that I have 400 acres of rich, black loam garden land, all cleared, divided in blocks of five acres. Will build good, comfortable homes of two to ten rooms, barns, sheds, etc., and give them the greatest opportunity of their lives to pay for them. Only a small payment required, balance to run five years: can be paid off in two years from produce raised. Railway and Electric lines pass through the property; close to churches, schools and post office. Maps, plans, etc. ready August 15th. Advise others who may be interested, to write me at once. Thanking you in advance, I am. Yours faithfully, ANDREW J. NAPIER. Wrong Man in Fulton Jail. 1830 Richmond Medical Society to Entertain Nurses.

A large crowd and a most pa- thetic audience greeted Miss Minnie H. Burroughs at the City Auditorium last Wednesday night, the occasion being the public meeting of the con- gates to the Right Worthy Grand Council, L. O. of St. Luke. Every official of every fraternal organization in the city had been invited to be present. Madame Maggie L. Walker, the R. W. Grand Secretary was the central figure and the audience which greeted her would have done all credit to any occasion. THE BEST EVER DELIVERED. The address of Miss Butroughs was the host ever delivered in this city by a female speaker and she was applauded from the start, the finish. She spoke over an hour and held her audience spellbound to the close. Dr. H. L. Harris, the Master of Cermonies presided with ease and that grace of manner which comes only with extended practice.

D. of Cincinnati O. singing was fine. Miss Jones of New York captivated the audience. The Grand Council has been in session at the Fifth Street Baptist Church since last Tuesday and a large number of delegates from all parts of the country were present. At the conclusion of Miss Burroughs' able remarks last Wednesday night, Madam Walker made a few brief remarks and then introduced John Mitchell, Jr., President of the Mechanics Savings Bank. Mr. Mitchell, owing to the lateness of the hour made a few remarks, expressive of his appreciation of the meeting which he declared to be the best that had ever been accorded any secret organization in this city. He congratulated Madame Walker, assuring her that the success of her movement would benefit the other organizations of a similar kind and character. Do You Know Him?

She Pays the Penalty. Virginia Christian was electrocuted at the Virginia Penitentiary Friday, August 16, 1912. Besides the two keepers who conducted the prisoner from the death cell into the "chamber of quick retribution," Virginia Christian was escorted to her doom by Rev. S. C. Burrell, Secretary, Y. M. C. A. and Rev. William H. Stokes, Ph. D., pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist Church, who had prayed with the condemned girl daily for the past two weeks. The usual three shocks were administered by the officer in charge of the electric current. Each time the electric switch was touched the body of the girl responded with fearful convulsions. Death. It is believed was instantaneous. Some slight delay might have been occasioned by reason of the fact that owing to the difference in the upper of a woman from that of a man, the electroids were found more difficult to adjust. But this contingency had been anticipated and provided for, and the hand of the law, in this last act of death, moved with a rapidity and on Jail. ing Man.

The remarkable and almost fanatical calm which characterized Virginia Christian as she was led from her cell to the chair of death is said to have deeply impressed the prison guards.

Appreciative Audience Greta Him at the Fifth St. Tapt. Church His Excellency William Hodgson Mann spoke at the Fifth St. Baptist Church last Sunday afternoon. Rev. S. C. Manuel, D. D. was Master of Ceremonies. He introduced Mr. John Mitchell, Jr. to the audience in a most complimentary manner and he in turn introduced His Excellency William Hodgson Mann, Governor of Virginia. Mr. Mitchell declared that he felt that the distinguished guest needed no introduction to the colored people of Richmond. Gov. Mann in his usual happy style proceeded to discuss the subject, "Church Pride" and soon made himself at home with the audience. He explained the meaning of pride and then discussed national pride, state pride, race pride, Christian pride and church pride. THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES The distinguished speaker delved into a discussion of the fundamental principles of government and showed plainly that he realized that his audience was an intellect and intellectual one. His remarks pleased his hearers to such an extent that, although it was out of the usual course of proceeding, he was applauded at times. He dealt with the most embarrassing features of existing conditions and plausible for the purity of the home. He regretted the fact that so many mothers of both races were unable to tell just where their children went and that they permitted them to roam the streets at night. He was warmly congratulated at the conclusion of his remarks and shortly afterwards was out on the sidewalk entering his automobile in order to keep another engagement. JOHN MITCHELL, JR.

SATURDAY AUGUST 24, 1912. We do not know what other folks think about it, but we are mighty sorry that Col. Roosevelt did not stay in Africa. The statement issued by "the entire colored delegation of the National Progressive Convention" and which appears in another column, is just about as inconsistent as Col. Theodore Roosevelt's letter to Mr. Julian Harris and about just as illogical After declaring the charge of "lily-whitism" against the Progressive Convention as being false, on another breath, this delegation unnigntimately enlarges Col. Roosevelt's position in his letter to Mr. Harris, the latter part of which letter is the very essence of "lily-whitism." After "booting" out of the Progressive Convention every single solitary Negro from the Southland over which there was even a shadow of a contest and denying representation from South Carolina, because it did not have a white delegation, although it did have a colored mass convention called to elect delegates, this statement declares that there was no discrimination on account of race or color in the Progressive Convention. For fear we might be harsh we shall not say all that we think of that circular. Attorney J. R. Pollard, one of the signers was not admitted to the National Republican Convention and he was not admitted to the Progressive Convention. He made about as good a lot of political speeches hereabouts upon the rights and privileges of a colored citizen as have ever been heard from a political speaker in this locality. Since his return, he has been "roosting" mighty low and we do not blame him. We hope that he may take the stump for Col. Roosevelt in some Northern State. He can render a good account of himself in a locality where colored folks' votes are wanted. CANNOT RECOGNIZE THE TRUTH We are not disposed to bandy epithets with a journalist of the type of Mr. J. C. Gilmer of the Charleston, West Virginia Advocate. We have been trained to conduct an argument along the lines of a gentleman's standard and to realize and understand that two honorable persons may disagree upon a given subject without either the one or the other being guilty of lying. They were true to their principles and then Roosevelt men went out of the National Republican Party as they thought into the National Progressive Party, following the personal fortunes of this same Men. Theodore Roosevelt, only to find his features distorted and his eyes giving forth a new light, which they We said that according to Col. Roosevelt's policy, Mr. J. C. Glimer, the State Librarian will part company with his job the next go round. We said what we meant and we meant what we said. Col. Roosevelt has adopted the Negro-haters policy that no Negro shall hold office in the Southland and that no colored man shall be recognized as a legal delegate to the Progressive Convention even though the majority of the Progressive electorate send him there if that majority is largely composed of Negroes. This policy will in all probability give the State of West Virginia to the Democrats who have always advocated this policy. It is alleged that the holding by colored men of positions of the size and importance of the State Librarian, where white and colored men come in personal contact with the aforesaid official is not good public policy and they must give way to some white appointee. We have always opposed this policy and complained this doctrine. This is why we are criticizing the distinguishel citizen of Oyster Bay, New York. When J. C. Gilmer, though, would intimate and say that John Mitchell, Jr. is qualifying for the Ananfass club or that he has deliberately distorted the truth by what he has said, then further discussion of the subject with him from a gentleman's platform must cease. Oh, the ploy that some folks were not raised with good manners. --- "THE RISING GENERATION." The Newspaper News, Virginia state seems to have decided to warn the good people of our race relative to the shocking conditions existing and seemingly everywhere in evidence among the raiding generation. It says, Would that we could teach the Negro the value of brotherly love and make him see that he is his own source of money. Just how to reach the ideas of our people the hardest possible to solve. They don't attend the Sunday schools and churches and of course the religious teachers don't get a chance to talk to them. They hate any gathering which would teach them the correct way to live, yet we have these people on our hands and we too often get the blame of what they do, because in very many cases some of them are connected with us by blood, and although we have far less influence over them than others, it is supposed that we ought to be able to do the impossible. This is the problem. It states the facts, too when it says: We have but a precious few places where we can go and enjoy the blessings of rest and recreation and yet when we try to do our best to maintain a place here or there, we find ourselves afflicted with the touch and the rowdy and bully. Hay Shore, the only descent place on the peninsula was given a dope of these characters last week, when an excursion of our people from Portsmouth visited that resort last week. Why can't we have excursions and pleasures like other people? Why are compelled to always have the human ass and cats in our midst? There is one way to deal with this element and that is to mark them down, whenever they commit these offenses, and forever bar them from all places where our people congregate. The penalty may appear severe, but it will take just this kind of medicine to cure them of these unbecoming outbreaks. These kind of people do not need any marking. God has already marked them. It is there for all men to read. It is this class of people who are bringing upon us separate cars, separate places of amusement and multiplying our representation in the insane asylums jails and penitentiaries and furnishing our largest quotas to the gallows and the electric chairs. They stir up race strife and then throw upon the respectable element of colored people the responsibility for abating it. They spread over the North East and West and by their manners and customs do more to emphasize the charges made against us by the Negro haters than a thousand Thomas Dixon's plays or ten thousand Ben Tillman's speeches. Our contemporary asks about a remedy. Reaching them in the manner described, through the Sunday schools, churches or even by "street-worship" route would not cure the evil, "born in sin and stooped in iniquity." In their present state, the work-house and the falls and the penitentiary furnish the quickest means of bettering the condition. But this relief is only temporary. The evil must be eradicated at the root. We must establish reformatories, orphan asylums and houses of correction for babies in the cradle. This "rough-house" crowd is the "fruit" of the alleys, the street-corners and the places of evil resort. They have been growing for fifteen years and like a black cloud now We are now starting a new movement for the betterment of our use. The churches should take up this work and the secret and benevolent societies should do their part. When we learn to prevent these diseases upon the body politic and eradicate the evil at its source, we shall no longer be required to lament over the undone condition of a proportion of our people and scheme and plan for their practical benefit. Let us begin the work at the cradle to the end that future generations may not be embarrassed by this generation's folly. "Iago, I love thee but never more be officer of mine." —Shakespeare. Col. Theodore Roosevelt's position upon the race question in this country has not only been stated, but it has been emphasized. We are of the opinion that those colored men, who accepted at their face value his statements relative to the elimination and disfranchisement of coorced men from Southern States so far as his personal Progressive Party is concerned are of the type and class that he described. Men, he they black or white, who accept discrimination without protest and yield to oppression without murmuring are devoid of manhood and demonstrate in themselves that they are not worthy of rights and privileges which should be accorded rice citizens. But our purpose is to further analyze that most remarkable letter to Mr. Julian Harris of Atlanta, Georgia, Col. Renewell said. When, for instance, I tried to ap point a colored man to office in Ohio I was wholly unable to get the ne rower assent from the white Re union leaders of Ohio and had to ap point a colored man in Washington; and an appointing a colored man to a high position in New York obliged to do it by main force and against the wish of the entire party organization. Well, what if he did? This was because some particular white man wanted the job! This is often true of a white office-seeker who wants a job. All kinds of charges are alleged against him and frequently, an effort is made to defeat the white appointee's confirmation by the United States Senate. We presume that Col. Roosevelt found it even more difficult to appoint a colored man, from a Southern State, if we are to judge by his experiences with Dr. William D. Crum Hon. John C. Daney and many others whom we might name. In the case at Chicago a few weeks ago, he had an experience just the other way. He was trying in this case not to appoint colored men from Southern States and he was trying to deprive them of their seats in his convention as delegates from Southern States. In this case, in carrying out his anti-Negro policy, he "was obliged to do it by main force" and against the wish of a large proportion of his party organization. It is stated that had he not interfered the Provisional National Committee would have recommended the seating of some of the Negro delegates from the South. When he was in the Republican Party, he used his powerful influence to secure the rights and privileges of colored men from the sunny clime. When he went into the Progressive Party he used his powerful influence against the securing of the rights and privileges to colored men. In both instances, he was successful. In the one instance, he had a clear conscience; in the latter instance, he has a scared conscience. He dealt with the colored men from the Southern States as follows: In the Republican national convention the colored members have been almost exclusively from the South, and the great majority of them have been men of such character that their political activities were merely a source of harm, and of very grave harm, to their own race. We, on the contrary, are hoping to see in the National Progressive Convention colored delegates from the very places where we expect to develop our greatest strength, and we hope to see those men of such character that their activities shall be of benefit not only to the people at large, but especially to their own race. Col. Roosevelt may have discovered this fact when he had Hon. William H. Taft nominated for the presidency of the United States. He found that these purchasable elements were not so purchasable at the recent meeting of the Republican National Convention, for the great majority of these delegates went there supporting President Taft, and they came away doing the same thing. Some others went there supporting ex-President Theodore Roosevelt and they came away doing the same thing. They had submitted their cases to him and he impied the brutal order that they should be barred from the Progressive organization in the Southland. He knew that taxation without representation was tyranny, yet he sent those that "Bended the supple hinges of the knee that favor follow fawning" to secure contributions and subscriptions for the progressive cause. The Republican Party is in control of the machinery of the government. Col. Roosevelt has been deceived. He presumes that the solidity of the South is due primarily to the ever-recurring Negro question, when as a matter of fact, it is deeper than that. The colored people are only used as a scare-crow and an excuse. The feeling against the North is deeper than that. did not understand, may could no understand. It was a despicable, cowardly desertion of a trusting and confiding people. He labelled colored men as men without character, grafters, men who would sell out heaven' for a little money. He did this in the face of the fact that the national government is honeycombed with graft and grafters and the country teeming with white men whose pockets are filled with ill-gotten gain. As he did in the case of the colored soldiers of Companies B. C and D, of the Twenty-fifth United States Infantry, punishing the guilty with the innocent; so, in this case he barred innocent colored citizens with the guilty alleged colored graffers and declared that none of them were wanted and that they must submit to this form of injustice until such a time as "he and his'n" would see fit to admit them into the Progressive Party of the Southland, upon a basis of political equality. There is a poem, which ends "Still hopin'" and in this instance Col. Roosevelt is "Still hopin'" for the time when he shall see in the National Progressive Convention colored delegates from the very places where he expects to develop his greatest strength. Let him hope on. We shall find a way to realize our desires in the matter of political equality without hoping. Let colored men who follow the Progressive Party and its fortunes take him at his word and work for that Party upon a basis of financial advantage accruing therefrom and not from any love of either its principles or its founder. Let them proceed to treat him as he has treated us and demand of him a fair day's political pay for a fair day's political work. Let those colored men who place principle above pay leave his Party nobly alone and support any Party or ticket; that will conform to great principles and grant to them that equality of civil and political rights and privileges guaranteed to every citizen, regardless of race, color or previous condition of servitude. Then Col. Roosevelt disassembled and he appeared to be worried by his conscience for he said to those white men, into whose hands he had betrayed the colored delegates from the Southern States; So much for the course we are able to follow in these States; and the citizens of these States can host help the Negro race by doing justice to those Negroes who are their own neighbors. In many Northern States there have been lynchings and race riots with sad and revolting accounts; in many of these States there has been failure to punish such outrageous conduct, and what is even more important, failure to deal in advance wisely and firmly with the evil conditions among both black men and white, which had caused the outrages. He should have known that the spread of lynching to Northern States was due to the failure to punish the lynchers in the Southern ones. It was due also to the hegira or flight of the worthless dissolute crapshooting colored people, who had been induced to migrate by labor agents, who promised big pay with little work. But then we had better not discuss further this phase of the situation. We shall content ourselves with a further review of this remarkable letter. He said: There are other States, including the majority of the Southern States where the conditions are wholly different. Much is to be said for the men who forty-five years ago, with motives which were for the most part and among most of their number of a lofty and disinterested type, attempted a course of action in those States which in actual practice has lamentably failed to justify itself; and I make no attempt at this time to strive to apportion the blame for the failure. It is unwise to resolve bitterness by dwelling on the errors and shortcomings of the past. Let us profit by them, but no proach no man because of them. This is a mild way of asserting that the enfranchisement of the colored people of this country was a mistake. It means that were it in this power the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution would not be a part of the law of the land. If it does not mean this, what does it mean? Read between the lines, ponder over these assertions and see if you do not detect a purpose to criticize Charles Sumnor, William Lloyd Garrison and Wendel Phillips in their advocacy of the granting to colored soldiers and citizens every political right and privilege granted to the white soldier and citizen? He is charitable though, much more so to the dead than he is to the living. He said no unkind words of the one, but as for the others, "the drove them out of the temple," yes, out of his convention.

THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($3,000.00) HAVE ALREADY BEEN SUBSCRIBED. Ex-President Roosevelt is building Party has in actual fact become his party upon a sand foundation of votes at the polls are concerned. The race prejudice rather than upon anumber of votes cast in these States rock foundation of human rights. Heand districts for the Republican tick has set his sails to catch the shifting on-election day has become neglivote of the country. He has forgot- gible. ple, a movement for social and industrial justice which shall be national, wide, a movement which is to strive to accomplish actual results and not to accept high sounding phrases as a substitute for deeds. Therefore we are not to be pardoned if at the outset, with the knowledge gained by forty-five years experience of failure, we repeat the course that has led to such failure, and abandon the effort to make the movement for social and industrial justice really nationwide. Is there a student of history, a scholar in ethics, who can produce in the records of the past a more inconsistent line of reasoning than is contained in these remarks? A century is but a span in a nation's life. How can he argue that forty-five years experience has changed and demonstrated the impracticability of a great principle? How can he establish a Party of principle with one part of its membership slave and the other part free? How can he do evil now that good may come? How can he practice injustice in order to secure justice? How can he bring forth the bitter and the sweet at the same time from the same stream? Col. Roosevelt forges that this Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde attitude brought on the civil war and forced a settlement of a great question. He would now unsettle it in the gratification of his ambition to sit once more in the White House of the nation. Ex-president Roosevelt said: For forty-five years the Republican Party has striven to build up in the Southern States in question a party based on the theory that the pyramid will unsupported stand permanently on its apex instead of on its base. Col. Roosevelt erred in not making it plain that the statesmen of the past did not leave this pyramid unsupported, neither did they stand it upon its apex. They founded it upon the rock of civil righteousness and great principles. It was supported by the 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution of the United States. The mistake was made in the matter of placing weak statesmen and jurists in the presidential chair and upon the bench of the Supreme Court of the United States. Ex-President Roosevelt is building his party upon a sand foundation of race prejudice rather than upon a rock foundation of human rights. He has set his sails to catch the shifting vote of the country. He has forgotten that what he may lose as the result of his folly may offset all that he may gain by the same method of jousting. Col. Roosevelt said: For forty five years, the Republican Party has endeavored in these States to build up a party in which the Negro should be dominant, a party consisting almost exclusively of Negroes. Those who took the lead in this experiment were accustomed by high motives, and no one should now blame them because of what with the knowledge they then had and under the then existing circumstances they strove to do. But in actual practice the result has been lamentable from every standpoint. The fact that the Negro was dominant in the Republican Party of the South was due primarily to the density of the population. It brought to the Republican Party nearly half a century of success. It would have brought another lease of power had it not been for the ambitions of one man and his disposition to control even to the point of disruption, the Republican Party itself. The memory of dead loved ones. of sorrowing mothers, wives and children, of Sherman's March to the Sea, Grant's Mississippi campaign, of the fight around Richmond, where the life of the flower and chivalry of Southern homes went down to untimely graves, of the mammoth pensions which are distributed broad cast over the land, while ex-Confederates must live on the smegro charity of their State governments,—all of these things, Mr. Roosevelt, constitute the hindering cause to the political dissolution of the South. You have laid it all at the door of the poor helpless Negro and charged much more to the Negro politicians, who got their instructions first hand from white men of your type. May God forgive you for your backsliding, for your descent of one of the kindiest races of people on the face of the globe. They gave to the Yankee soldiers food and shelter. They led them by thousands through the trackless morass and forests of the Southland and then they laid down their lives as a willing sacrifice that the Union might be saved. You sum up upon the scene, forty-five years afterwards with your accountments of war, fresh from a slight skirmish, known as the War with Spain and proclaim that the sacrifices and sufferings of a generation shall be swept away, that the rights secured through blood and suffering shall be yielded up without a struggle. Col. Roosevelt, it was in the South that we have made our greatest sacrifice. It is in the South that we should first and last be permitted to exercise our rights of citizenship. If you deny them to us, we shall make terms with your old enemies and get them. We know them, air, better than we know you. It is a far cry, when Col. Roosevelt is quoted as follows: It has been productive of evil to the colored men themselves; it has been productive only of evil to the white men of the South; and it has worked the graves of our slaves and finally the disruption and destruction of, the great Republican Party itself. In the States in question where the Negro predominates in numbers and in the sections of other States in which he predom- Our answer is that the Republican Party has been and is successful in the nation for the reason that it has always been the party of right principles. Defeat in a few districts and States in the South, only emphasized its success in other States. Col. Roosevelt has reversed himself. He is championing a party of Progressives in the Northern States and a party of retrogressives in the Southern States. The Negro-hating Southerners are demanding the elimination of the Negroes of the South from the Progressive Party today, and they will demand the elimination of the Negroes in the Progressive Party of the North tomorrow. We do not infer that colored men of the higher and better type will not remain with the National Progressive Party. If they do remain, it will be with a protest against the principles enunciated by its leader and founder and with the hope that a reversal of the same will follow at another convention of that great organization. There can be no legitimate defense of this doctrine, either along the lines of religion or ethics. Col Roosevelt said: It has long been recognized that these states will never give a Republican electoral vote; that these States or districts will never send a Republican can or a colored man to Congress. The number of colored men in the who hold any elective office of the slightest importance is negligible. In these States and districts the Republican party, in actual practice, and disregarding individual exceptions, exists only to serve the purposes of a small group of politicians, for the most part white, but including some colored men, who have the elightest interest in elections and whose political activities are concerned to securing offices by sending to national conventions delegations which are controlled by the promise of office or by means more questionable. Once in four years they send to the national convention delegates who represent absolutely nothing in the way of voting strength, and in consideration of the votes of the delegates thus delivered they endeavor to secure their local offices from any national Republican Administration. No one with a scintilla of a regard for truth will deny the correctness or truthfulness of the above statement. But what of the remedy? He proceeds along his accustomed lines of punishing the guilty with the innocent. The Northern office-member of Negro persuasion is all right, but the Southern business man of Negro persuasion is all wrong. This grafting type of politicians (a incubus upon the political prosperity of the race and, should be driven out of the Party. Col. Roosevelt deliberately puts all of our people in this same class. The wealthy colored men of the Southland are debarred from his Party if they happen to be identified with the Negro race and white men are debarred from his Party if they associate and affiliate with Negroes of even the higher type. But enough for this week. We shall deal further with this most interesting subject and analyze to its fullest extent this crowning blunder of the white man of the North, who was accredited with being "the leading citizen in all of this world." Col. Rooneyell may well exclaim: "Farewell, a long farewell to all my greatness! This is the state of man: today he puts forth. The tender leaves of hope, tomorrow tones. And here his blushing honours thick upon his. The third day comes a frost, a killing frost."—Shakespeare. Gracie Worthington, seven and one-half years old, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Worthington, residents of Philadelphia, came near losing her life in Naaman's creek at Arden, Del She was bathing with water wings, which slipped from beneath her arms, and while trying to free herself she got into deep water. She was brought out by Alonga Brontstein. EPOCH MAKING EVENT. An event has transpired in the South which promises great things for that section and the entire nation. Sutton E. Griggs, 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. Do Dr. Griggs ex-President of Fisk University say: "I have heard so much of Wisdom's Call that I wish a copy of it. Send R. to me." Bishop I. B. 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. Nosh W. Cooper, one of Tennessee's most widely known white lawyers, says: "It is really a wonderful choice rhetoric and Christian idea. Rev. Mr. Griggs 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 Windows Call.

AUGUST 24, 1912 Young Mother, Formerly Miss Madeleine Force, is Doing Well—Baby Named John Jacob Astor, After His Father. A 3,000,000 baby was born at the Astor mansion, 840 Fifth avenue, New York city. It is a boy and will bear the name of its father, John Jacob Astor, who went down with the Titanic in the greatest marine disaster of modern times. The birth of the child was announced by Dr. Edwin B. Cragin in the following statement: "A child was born to Mrs. John Jacob Astor. It is a boy and its name is John Jacob Astor. The mother is in good condition." Dr. Cragin later announced that the baby weighed 7% pounds when born. By the will of the late Colonel John Jacob Astor to this posthumous heir was left 3,000,000. There had been rumors circulated that if the child were a boy a content would be instituted by Colonel Astor's widow, Mrs. Madeleine Force Astor, to secure "greater wealth for her son. This matter will be determined later. Preparation for the arrival of the millionaire baby was made, when Mr. and Mrs. William Force, parents of Mrs. Astor, were summoned to the Fifth avenue mansion, but the accoument was delayed for many hours. Shortly before the birth of the child Mrs. Astor was removed from the room which she had been occupying ever since her arrival in New York to a larger and more commodious one on the second floor of the big mansion. Dr. Craigin has been in constant at tendance upon Mrs. Astor since the week before last. In making official announcement of the birth, Dr. Craig said that the baby and Mrs. Astor were in excellent condition. At the same time he said that he did not look for any complications but that he expected the young mother and her baby to continue doing well. There had been considerable fear among the relatives of Mrs. Astor as to the outcome because of her physical sufferings and mental stress resulting from the disaster to the Titanic on which she was a passenger with her husband. Unusual interest from the social, financial and legal viewpoints attaches to the status of the new child. There is a possibility that the birth of the boy may mean a legal contest for the administration of the $150,000,000 Astor estate. Under the terms of the Astor will the sum of $3,000,000 was set aside for each child born, other than the children Vincent and Muriel, of whom Mrs. Ava Willing Astor is the mother. The new baby had a stock of clothes ready for him that would delight a whole congress of mothers. The little wardrobe represented an outlay of more than $2000 for the essentials alone, and much of the embroidery on the dainty little garments was the handwork of the young mother. Much of the filimay, duffy raiment was imported from a Paris dealer, and the best experts in New York worked for months upon some of the dainty things in which a baby Astor will coo his way into the world of fashion and finance. The baby is the fifth of the name, John Jacob Astor, the first was born in 1763, the second in 1778, the third in 1822. Colonel John Jacob Astor, father of the present owner of the name, was the fourth to bear the name of the founder of the family fortune. Watches Thief Steal Jewels. While Mrs. Klem, mute with terror, looked on, a masked burglar robbed the summer home of Walter K. Klem, the Philadelphia banker, at 17 South-Providence avenue, in the fashionable Chelsea section of Atlantic City, obtaining jewelry worth more than $12,000. Awakened by no sound made by the "pusy footed" thief, but rather by a premonition of danger, Mrs. Klem saw the burglar riling her jewel case. By her side was her husband sleep. Fearing that if she woke him up or made an outcry, the burglar might murder them both, Mrs. Klem, pretended to sleep, but through half closed eyelids watched the man in the mask make the biggest haul in a series of cottage robberies which have terrorized the resort all summer. Mrs. Klem had ample opportunity to see the burglar, and as soon as he left the house she awakened her husband, who jumped for the telephone to notify the police. The burglar had cut the wires. Hastening into his clothes, Mr. Klem ran to a neighbor's house and called up the Atlantic City police. Every available policeman in the city was rushed to the scene, and beat up every nook and corner in the vicinity, but the burglar had made a clean get away. First Woman to be G. A. R. Member. For the first time in its history the Grand Army of the Republic in New York city is to admit a woman to full membership in its ranks. The first feminine is Mrs. Annie E. Poth, chief companion of the Companions of the Forest of America. The Phil Kearny Post No. 5 will assemble in full uniform at the Behember building, 107 West 116th street, where the inauguration ceremonies will take place. It is expected that many of the high commissioned officers will attend and assist in presenting to Mrs. Poth a specially executed commission, enrolling her as the first and only woman admitted to the ranks of the Grand Army of the Republic. Darrow Freed; to Be Retried. Clarence S. Darrow, the Chicago lawyer, found not guilty on the charge of having bribed a prospective juror in the McNamara case in Los Angeles, must stand trial on a second indictment, according to an announcement made by District Attorney Fredericks immediately after the acquittal. Darrow was apparently unconcerned over the statement of the prosecutor. He was deluged with telegrams from all parts of the country, which began pouring in within an hour after the verdict had been given. The court room scene which followed the reading of the verdict, just thirty-four minutes after the jury had retired, was one that had no parallel in Los Angeles. Jurors embraced the acquitted man, and, with tears streaming down their cheeks, declared it was the happiest day of their lives. Court officials, including Judge Hutton and the half dozen bailiffs, joined in the congratulations, and Mrs. Darrow, to whom the trial was a continuous nervous strain, stood speecheslessly happy, with one hand in her husband's and the other wringing those of the jurors. Never Kissed His Wife. Because he had never been kissed by a girl and did not want to begin at his time of life, John J. Gallagher, of East Penn street, Norristown, was sent to jail for thirty days. He was arraigned before Justice O. F. Lenhardt, charged by his wife with assault and battery. From the testimony of the couple it looked to the magistrate as a case of six of one on and a half dozen of the other, so he advised them to "kiss and make up." "Met, not me," exclaimed Gallagher "Why, I never kissed a girl in my life, and I won't begin now." "Well, the only thing for me to do is to fine you then," said the justice. As Gallagher could not produce the necessary money he was sent to jail. General Barry's New Post. Major General Thomas H. B. Harry, U. S. A., superintendent of the military academy at West Point, has been assigned to command the eastern division, with headquarters at New York, succeeding the late Major General Frederick D. Grant. Colonel C. P. Townley, coast artillery, in command of the Portland, Me., artillery district, will succeed General Barry as superintendent of the military academy on Aug. 31. Brigadier General Tasker H. Blisa, acting since General Grant's death as commander-in-chief of the eastern division, returns to his duties as commander of the department of the east. Steals $1000. Sending $100 Back. Nearly $1000, mostly in currency and the rest in checks, was filmed from the office of the Detroit & Cleveland Navigation company office at Toledo, O. in a bold daylight robbery. An hour later the robber returned $100 to the company through a third person. WILL Succeed Hanford President Taft sent to the senate the nomination of Clinton W. Howard, of Bellingham, Wash., to succeed Judge Cornelius H. Hanford as United States judge for the western district of Washington. Howard was supported by Senators Jones and Polindexter, of Washington. Can't Become a Citizen. Although Albert H. Young, a law student at the University of Washington in Seattle, is a subject of the German emperor, he cannot become a citizen of the United States because his mother was a Japanese. Such was the decision of United States District Judge W. E. Cushman. Chokes at Sauerkraut Meal. Sauerkraut and pork proved fatal to John Hartman, aged fifty years, of Reading, Pa., who tackled a dish of it at a resort on Mount Penn. A piece of pork lodged in his windpipe and he was strangled. The district attorney will investigate. Colenel Meek Dias of Injuries. Colenel C. F.

Started Crusade to Save Souls Forty- Five Years Ago in Slums of London and Movement is Still Progressing. General William Booth, founder and commander-in-chief of the Salvation Army, died in London. General Booth, who was eighty-three years old, had been seriously ill for several months. His condition was so serious that the end was expected. He had been un- conscious for some hours. He had been falling since last May when an operation for cataract was performed on his left eye. William Booth was born in Nottingham, Eng., April 10, 1829. His father was a carpenter, who had little but a consuming religious seal to support him in the world. By dint of much economy the carpenter managed to give his son a half education, and to send him to a private theological tutor for preparation in the Methodist ministry. At twenty-three the young man took his first church, a small chapel in Nottingham. During his travels over England on preaching tour the minister met Catherine Mumford, and after a long engagement they were married in 1858. The Rev. Mrs. Booth was in many ways a remarkable woman. She had the same regligious feeling as her husband, the same instinct for organization, and a strong appealing quality in her personality, which later served to attract the people of the slums of London to her. He laid a plan before the conference of Methodist new connection church. It was radical; they would have none of it. Before 1878, when the Salvation Army had its inception, Booth had learned the bitterness of the work that he had selected for himself. Probably the bitterest moments that the indomitable evangelist was ever made to feel followed the first marchings of this uttered Christian army of regenerated souls through the streets of Whitechapel. It was a holiday for the masses whenever a little band strangled out of their tabernacle and marched behind their weeping instruments. Everything that lent itself to hurling was hurled, and in many cases the police slid with the roughs and arrested the Salvationists for, obstructing the highways. Then when noose of this sensational evangelizing reached the ears of the clergy of the West End congregations they arose in wrath, and denounced the "vulgar sensationalism" and the irreverent trumpery" of this Salvation Army. But Booth persisted in their work. Before the Salvation Army was four years old, General Booth and his wife began the long series of social reforms and sterling .charities which stand monuments to their greatness as enduring as the army itself. Latest statistics show that the army has 8973 corps in the fifty-six countries of both hemispheres, with about 21,000 officers and employees, and millions of members. Records of the army show that annually it houses 6,000,000 persons, and feeds 12,000,000. With the growth of the Salvation Army, came the development of its "general" insistence upon a despotism more military than any other attribute of the army. Through that very insistence rose the breach between himself and his son, Ballington, which resulted in the establishment of the independent body known as the Volunteers of America. Probably this break was the greatest grief that was ever visited upon the veteran evangelist. In 1906 General Booth potemptorily called Ballington Booth from his command in America, and later sent Eva, his daughter, over here, to relieve the rebelious son of his command. Instead of obeying his father's command to give up his post in America and return to England, General Baldington Booth seceded from the army in the spring of 1906, and with the financial backing of several wealthy men in New York and the support of many of the former loyal Salvationists he started the Volunteers of America. He did not see his father from the time of his accession to the day of General Booth's death, nor was there any communication between them." Receiver for Telephone Company. Judge C. V. Henry, of Lebanon, specially presiding in the common pleas court at Harrisburg, appointed S. R. Caldwell temporary receiver for the United Telephone and Telegraph company, subsidiary of the American Union Telephone company of Philadelphia. Walks Off Train in Sleep Fast asleep, Paul Inman, twelve years old, of Tyty, Ga., walked from a swiftly moving Atlantic coast line train. The shock of the fall failed to awaken him. He was found by a party of searchers near Williscooche. Young Inman bore no bruises. Secretary Wilson, 27 years old "Tama Jim" Wilson, secretary of agriculture, in seventy-seven years old. Secretary Wilson said he was looking forward to leaving public life on March 5, next, so that he might go home among his grandchildren, "dob his ownails and move around among the common people."

INDICT SEVEN IN ROSENTHAL CASE Zellig and Scheppa Tell How Men Are Shot Down in Cold Blood and Mur- derers Go Free. The prand jury in New York hand- ed down a blanket indictment of seven men for the murder of Herman Rosen- thal. Those included in the indictment were: Chronel ("Dago Frank"), gunman. Muller ("Whitey Lewis"), gunman. Rosenweig ("Lefty Louis"), gunman. still at large. Horowitz ("Gyp the Blood"), gun- man, still at large. Charles Becker, police Heutenant, William Shapiro, driver of the "mur- der car." Jack Sullivan, runner for Becker. The grand jury voted unanimously for the indictment, but refused to return indictments against Sam Scheppa, Jack Rose, "Bridgey" Webber, Harry Vallon and Louis Libby, who are be- ing held as material witnesses. The indictment was handed up to Judge Mulqueen in the court of general sessions. The court set Thursday next as the day for pleading. The indictment of Lieutenant Becker is a supersoiling one, returned as a precautionary measure because of the contention of a flaw existing in the previous indictment. The grand jurymen gave an unusual exhibition. The applauded themselves so that the sound could be heard plainly outside of the courtroom. It was a signal of satisfaction that the first step had been taken to bring to punishment the men who thought they could shoot down citizens in cold blood and go free. "Big Jack" Zellig, the gunman, and Sam Schappa, the gambler, told the grand jury a tale linking Hecker with the murder of Herman Rosenthal such as to make plain grand jurors pinch themselves to see if they are awake. The statement, as brought out by the district attorney, briefly in its inferences from the sworn facts, is this: Hecker forsaw a necessity for the assassination of Rosenthal. He therefore got Zellig, a man who could and would furnish gunmen, murderers for an occasion, into his power by a manufactured charge of felony—merely carrying a gun, a second offense—which might mean fifteen years in prison for Zellig. Then he got Zellig out of prison by making Sam Paul. Schappa, Vallon and others hustle to find $10,000 cash for his bail. Then—"fifteen years in prison, Zelig, unless you get your friends to murder Rosenthal." According to Zelig and Schippa this was what was done Zelig fled from town. He was in the hands of the New York police in Providence when his counsel discovered that he was practically in the plight of Cuban revolutionary political prisoner. Whitman astonished the grand jury with this testimony. Sam Schepps told his whole narrative of the affair leading up to Jac Rosenthal murder. This corroborates the statements of Jack Rose, the original informer, whose statements defenders of the police have endeavored to discredit by calling attention to the obvious motives for him to invent the tale he has told. But now, when, without opportunity of collusion, Schepps tells a tale that tallies in all respects with Rose's, Mr. Whitman believes both will gain weight and credulity. It was for this reason that Whitman advised the grand jury to wait before finding indictments against the four gunmen and the others involved in the case. The preliminary work of the prosecutor can now be pushed to a prompt close. District Attorney Whitman also took before the grand jury evidence to show the possession by Becker of about $90,000 banked in eight months in twelve separate accounts in town and one out of town. There are two other accounts to be mentioned and about a dozen bankers to be questioned. DR. SUN STILL LIVES Efforts Being .Made .to Keep Him Away From Pekin.

AUGUST 24, 1912 Farm Dairying Bullish Styphn Ames, Maltown, Dull By LAURA ROSE, Demonstrator and Lecturer In Dairying at the Ontario Agricultural Col- lege, Guelph, Canada. [Copyright, 1911, by A. C. McClurg & Co.] LIES are a terrible torment at times and have much to do with the lessening of the milk flow. The cows are so worried and kept so busy fighting the flies that they lose much of the time they should be feeding, and it is their semi- starved condition that largely causes the shrinkage in flesh and milk. Something should be done to rid the cows of this fly pest. The following mixture has been found as effective and less expensive than many of the fly remedies on the market: One gallon of fish or coal oil or oil of any kind, one pint of coal oil (kerosene) and two ounces (four table spoonfuls) of crude carbolic acid. Mix well together and apply with a cloth or spray to all parts except the udder. Always put it on after milking, to avoid the strong odor getting into the milk. In dry weather one appli- tion a week is usually sufficient. If the cows are out in a heavy rain it will be necessary to go over them again. Another fly remedy is ten parts of lard or other grease to one part of pine tar. Mix well and apply with a brush or cloth once or twice a week to the parts most attacked. This is splendid as a relief from the horn fly. If the files make the cows restless during milking so that they will not stand, a cotton blanket thrown over them at that time is a great help. Keep the Stable Dark. It is a good plan to darken the sturble during the day and to have the windows screened. To prevent the files that are on the cows from going into the stable with them arrange some evergreen bows, brush, brooms or sacking at the entrance. As the cows pass through this many files are brushed off and remain outside. The housefly has always been a troublesome nuisance, but now it is looked upon as a very potent agent in spreading such dangerous diseases as typhoid fever, cholera infestum, summer complaint, etc. If a cow shows symptoms of being ill do not delay doing something for her. Begin at once to check the trouble. Every dairy stable should have in it a medicine chest or shelf provided with such drugs as are commonly used in cases of sickness among the animals. A short list is given below. Each bottle or package should be distinctly labeled and the supply renewed as soon as exhausted: Spirits of turpentine, raw linseed oil, sulphur, saltpeter, carbolic acid, nux vaponis, epsom salts, ground ginger, vaseline, camphorated oil, laudanum, boric acid. There should be on hand a common bicycle pump, a few feet of rubber hose and a milk sliphon or tube to insert in the teat. Immense the tube in boiling water to disinfect it and oil before gently inserting it into the test opening. How to Examine a Sick Cow. First, take the temperature of the animal by placing a self registering veterinary fever thermometer in the rectum, allowing it to remain there from three to five minutes. The normal temperature of a cow is from 60 to 100 degrees F., but in some cows may be higher. It is usually so in young animals. Second, take the pulse, which can be found at the angle of the lower jaw bone. The normal beat of a cow's pulse is from fifty to sixty per minute. Third, count the respirations of the animal or number of times it breathes by watching the sides of the flanks or by pressing your ear to her side. The normal respiration of a cow is from fifteen to twenty per minute. If the temperature, pulse or respiration is found to vary much from the normal, you will know the animal isailing. Dull, gliny eyes; cold ears; dry hot nose; bark, rumpled coat; lack of appetite, rumination ceased and den shrinkage of milk are outward indications that something is wrong with the cow. Milk from sick cows is unwholesome and in some cases positively dangerous. Sick animals should be removed from the bed, and especially if there be any suspicion of a contagious disease. Partient Apeopley—Commonly Called Milk Fever. Cause—Milking the cow out too thoroughly after calving. Better not to draw out and kill the throat and lungs, but just leave the ear with the nose. If for any reason it is not comfortable to draw the ear with his fingers only a little milk at frequent intervals the first three days if trouble is found. If this rule is followed milk fever is not likely to occur. Symptoms—These develop from fever in thirty six hours after calving. Resumption comes; sudden decrease in milk flow; dullness of the eyes; unsteady gait; stamping with the hind legs; at length fall helples to the ground, turn head to one side and eyes close or lie flat with extremities extended. Treatment—It is usually a fatal mistake to doe for milk fever. In many cases the muscles of the throat are paralyzed, and the cow, having no power to swallow, the medicine given goes into the lungs and often causes death. The treatment giving prompt relief in the severe cases and one to be relied on is filling the udder with pure oxygen or, with common air by means of a bicycle pump or a rubber bulb syringe and a common milk syphon or similar tube. Pump the udder as full as possible and put a rubber band around the teats, or tie with tape to keep in the air. Massage the udder so as to force the air to all parts. It may be necessary to repeat the infusion. This treatment usually affects a cure in a few hours. Do not give any medicine. Mammitis—Caked Udder—Inflammation of Udder—Gastrop Symptoms.—Usually at first the milk is watery and sometimes discolored with blood and may contain clotted, curdy matter, and the part affected is swollen and painful. In severe cases the cow will have a chill, and the limbs, ears and horns become cold, then fever will follow and the udder becomes hot, swollen and hard. The milk flow decreases or stops. The cow eats but little and does not chew her cud. Treatment.—Give oxygen treatment as described for milk fever and a good dose of salts. If the udder remains hard rub well with goose grease or camphorated oil. When the entire udder is caked take a piece of heavy cloth and put it under the udder, making incisions for the teats, and fasten it on top, placing straw or a pad on the back so as not to chafe the cow. This relieves the udder by easing the weight. For Infamed Udder. Rub well after milking with lintiment made from four ounces sweet oil, four ounces laudanum, three ounces of extract of belladonna. Alimy or Ropy Milk (Not a Disease). Milk which becomes stringy, alimy or ropy after standing awhile is not due to the cow's condition, but is caused by a large number of bacteria which develop in the milk and change 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. 51. 52. 53. 54. 55. 56. 57. 58. 59. 60. 61. 62. 63. 64. 65. 66. 67. 68. 69. 70. 71. 72. 73. 74. 75. 76. 77. 78. 79. 80. 81. 82. 83. 84. 85. 86. 87. 88. 89. 90. 91. 92. 93. 94. 95. 96. 97. 98. 99. 100.

The bacteria usually come from dust or bad water and get into the milk at milking time or afterward. Thoroughly clean and disinfect the stable, and scald all milk pails, strainers, cans, etc. Lumps In Teats. If the lump or tumor be near the point or halfway up the teat a veterinarian may operate successfully; otherwise it is well to beef the cow, as she will not improve and her offspring may be similarly affected. Cowpox. Symptoms.—Teats very sore, break out in pimples and form scabby sore. A troublesome contagious disease, and the cow should be isolated. A milker can take it from one cow to another on his hands or clothes. Remedy.—Dress the sores three times a day with an ointment made by mixing four drama boracic acid, twenty drops of carbolic acid, with two ounces of vaseline. If the teats are very sore it may be well to use a teat alphon to draw the milk. Diarrhea or Scours in Calves. Cause—Overfeeding, sudden changes in feed, fithy, wet stalls, dirty feed pails, etc. Treatment—A cup of strong black tea is said to be good. Others give from one to two ounces of tastor oil and one teaspoonful of laudanum. Feed new milk and keep everything clean. Four or five hours after the oil is given a teaspoonful of a mixture of one part salt and two parts sublimate of blumth may be given in half a pint of milk or the powder placed on the tongue and washed down with a little milk. A simple remedy is to add to the milk one-fifth of its bulk of lime water. Watch for our new serial, "THE THREE GUARDSMEN" by Alexander Dumas. Farm Doirying Game Alc XVIII.—Cow Diseasea. Second Article. L EAKY teats are caused either by weak muscles or because the teat opening is too large. Treatment—Throw and tie the cow. Insert a milking tube in the teat to preserve the milk duct. With a sharp knife remove the skin from the end of the opening, making a good fresh wound. Draw the edges of the hole together with a few stitches, tying each stitch separately. Dress with a healing ointment. This should be done when the cow is dry and is better to be done only by a velcroiran. If the leak be through a hole on the side of the teat scarifying the edges of the opening with a sharp penknife when the cow is dry may cause the edges to unite. To Cure a Sucking Heifer or Prevent Self Sucking Insert in the helper's or cow's nose an ordinary bull ring. Just before inserting the ring slip on it a harness ring the same size, which hangs lower after the bull ring has been inserted. This is a sure remedy. Impaction of the Rumen or Paunch. Cause.-The paunch becomes over filled with solid food and its walls so paralyzed as to lose the power of contraction. Symptoms.-Enlargement of abdomen, the drumlike sound is absent, and when the part is pressed the indenture remains for some time. The animal is dull, her breathing heavy, grunts and grinds her teeth. Treatment. -Give a strong purgative -one and a half to two pounds of salts and two ounces of ground ginger in two quarts of warm water. Follow up with two drains of nux vomica every six or eight hours until the bowels more freely. If the bowels do not more in eighteen to twenty-four hours give more salts. A little walking exercise helps the expulsion of the food. In bad cases the cow is opened and the food removed by hand. This should be the work of a veterinarian. Tympanitis or Bloating. Cause. — Latting' fermented grains, rank clover, especially when wet or with the dew on it; raw juicy potatoes, etc., may cause fermentation and the accumulation of gases. Symptoms. — The ablomen distended, especially over the left flank; the walls of the belly elastic to the pressure of the hand and when tapped giving a hollow, drumlike tone; breathing labored. Treatment. — If much distressed, prompt relief is afforded by puncturing deep on the left side into the flank four or five inches from the spine and midway between the last rib and the hip bone. This is best done with a trear and canula. If one is not at hand use a knife and insert a large goose quill or something of the kind to keep the wound open to allow the gases to escape. Give from one to two pounds of ep- som salts and an ounce of powdered ginger. Further fermentation may be prevented by a tablespoonful of chlor- ide of lime in a pint of water. In slight cases a dose of two ounces of oil of turpentine in a pint of raw lin- seed oil will generally dissipate the gases. No food should be given for twelve hours, and feed lightly for a day or two. Impaction of the Third Stomach or Fardel-bound. Cause.—A diet of course, indigestible food and insufficient water to drink: eating dried grass or leaves, etc. Symptoms. -Refuses to eat; ceases to chew cut; in some cases slight dizziness, followed by constipation; head carried low; dull, painful expression; stands still or lies down with head extended; gives a short grunt during expiration; advanced stings-staggering gait, impaired sight and sometimes symptoms of frenzy. Treatment. -Same as for impaction of rumen. Assist the purgation by copious injections of warm soapy water three or four times a day. If the brain be affected, douche the head with cold water or apply ice. Tuberculosis Symptoms.—A dry cough without other constitutional disturbances indicates tuberculosis of the lungs. A cow losing flesh gradually and becoming generally unthrilla looking may have the disease in any organ. The only safe way to know if the herd be free from this very contagious disease is by having the animals tested with tuberculin. If any react they should be put in a stable by themselves and the building where they have been kept disinfected. If only slightly affected the animals may be fattened and sold to the butcher, for the meat is said to be wholesome. The milk, especially if the udder be suspected of being diseased, should be avoided for the use of either man or --- Bent. There is no known cure. The only way is to test the cow and keep them five days disease slightly apart from the others. Drinking from the same trough, eating from the same stall, are easy means of spreading the disease. If the cow be a valuable one and the disease is not deeply mated she may be kept for breeding purposes, but the calf must not be allowed to suck any of its mother's milk. If the cow's milk be thoroughly pasteurised it is then safe to feed. Rheumatism. Cause.—Exposure to cold and wet, especially when heated by driving. Lying on cold soores or standing in a draft. Symptoms.—If acute rheumatism sets in there will be loss of appetite, roughness of coat and dryness of muzzle, bowels constipated, urine high colored, joints swollen. The symptoms of chronic rheumatism are similar, but less severe. Treatment.—Give two pounds of epsom salts and one ounce of ground ginger. Follow up with two dram doses of salicylic acid three times a day. Rub the joints well three times daily with camphorated lilium. Keep the animal warm and dry. Wounds or Cuts—Lacerated Udder. First stop the bleeding by tying a bandage of clean muslin directly over the wound or above it. Often a bleeding artery will protrude. A thread can be run under it with a needle and the artery tied. After the bleeding stops cut off the rugged edges of muscle with scissors which have been dipped in an antiseptic solution. Then bathe the wound with an antiseptic wash. Let mature do the healing. Keep the wound clean and free from germs by frequently bathing it with the antiseptic wash. Sometimes a cow's udder is badly torn on barbed wire or brush. Thoroughly clean the wound with an antiseptic wash, using a syringe if one is at hand. Trim the rough edges, and draw the cuts together with white silk thread, tying each stitch separately. Leave an opening of an inch at the lowest point of the wound. Insert in this opening a small piece of cotton waadding to help carry away any discharge. Bath the wound if necessary with a tothecle or weak carbolic acid wash and renew the waadding. When healed remove the stitches. Contagious Abortion. Abortion being a contagious disease, the germs will lurk about the stables and infected animals for years. Use some good disinfectant freely around the stalls, gutters, etc. Give Photo by University of Wisconsin. MAKING THE TERRENCEIN TEXT each animal that has aborted forty drops of pure carbolic acid in one pint of water in its food three times a day until all vaginal discharge ceases. As a preventive give the other cows the same dose twice a day for the same length of time. Some dairymen dose their cows in this way with carbolic acid every two or three months just in case this dreaded disease might break out. Another simple method, which can be used when cows are in pasture, is to mix thoroughly 169 pounds of barrel salt, pounded fine, and one pound of crude undiluted carbolic acid or four ounces of the acid to twelve quarts of salt. Give to the bulls and cows as one would ordinary salt. Retention of the Afterbirth. In case the afterbirth does not come away give a few doses of carbolic acid (forty drops), and no other assistance will be necessary. Burying Diseased Animals. When burying an animal which has died of any contagious disease put half a barrel of fresh lime over it Crystals of copper sulphate may be used. Burn all bedding, litter, etc and whitewash the walls, stains, etc having some disinfectant in the wash Stock Foods—Tonics No. 1—One pound ground gentian, a quarter of a pound of ground ginger, a quarter of a pound of powdered salt-peter and a quarter of a pound of powdered iron sulphate. Mix and give on tablespoonful in feed once daily for ten days, omit for three days and feed as above for ten days more. Cost, about 20 cents per pound. No. 2—Two pounds fenugreek, two pounds ground ginger, two pounds powdered gentian, two pounds powdered sulphur, two pounds potassium nitrate, two pounds resin, one pound cayenne pepper, eleven pounds flaxseed meal, five pounds powdered charcoal, five pounds common salt and twenty-five pounds wheat bran. Cost, about $4.50 per 100 pounds. Mix well and feed the same as No. 1. This tonic is almost identical with the commercial mixtures. Mare Swims to Reecus. When A. W. Appleton of South Beach, Staten Island, took his gray marsh Fanny down to the water for their usual morning bath recently they had not been splashing about long before the man saw that some 150 feet off shore some one was clinging to an overturned row boat and making feeble signals of distress. Mr. Appleton lost no time in climbing on the mare's back and whispering to her what the trouble was. She seemed to agree with him that something would have to be done immediately and swam off toward the overturned boat. As they drew near through the waves Mr. Apylion saw that the man was all but unconscious from exhaustion and that they had come none too soon. In a few moments he had lifted the half limp figure to the mare's back and held him there while Fanny, swimming as she never swam before, carried her double burden to aboard. New York Times. Legislative Body of Educational System In Washington Gains Zealous Worker—Achievements of Appointer as Former Head of Odd Fellows, Able Lawyer and Business Man. Washington.—William L. Houston, a prominent attorney at law in this city, has been named as a member of the board of education to succeed Dr. W. V. Tunnell, professor of history in Howard university. Mr. Houston has signified his acceptance of the trust and announces that he will give to the public school system of the District the best service he is capable of rendering The appointment gives great satisfaction to all classes in this community. As he is in harmony with the present officials, the advent of Mr. Houston on the board is regarded as the beginning of the end of the factual divisions that have long given uneasiness to those who have had the best interest of the 15,000 colored children in the public schools at heart. The term for which Mr. Houston has been appointed is three years. The board is made up of nine members, of whom three are colored. They are Lawyer' R. R. Horner, Mrs. Carrie Wibler Harris and the subject of this sketch. Mr. Houston is an active force in the professional and social life of the nation's capital. He is a young man of the intellectual attainments and stepping character and is an orator of pronounced ability. He is perhaps best known throughout the country for his brilliant administration as grand master of the Grand United Order of Old Fellows. He served two J. terms, during which time the order is said to have reached the high water mark of its existence. The membership was increased to over 2000 during this period, and large gains were made in property holdings. At the fifteenth B. M. C. held in Baltimore in 1910, he was made an associate justice of the newly created supreme court of the order for the eight year term. His friends are now insisting that he stand as a candidate for the office of grand secretary at the sixteenth B. M. C. which meets in Atlanta, Ga. next September. Mr. Houston came to Washington after a season as a schoolteacher in Evansville, Ind., to accept a clerkship in the war department and allied the position with credit and distinction for several years. In the meantime he had graduated from the law department of Howard university. Anxious to gain experience in the legal profession, he resigned from the government service to enter a partnership with Counsel Edward H. Morris in Chicago and quickly earned for himself an enviable place at the Illinois bar, carrying all the while the arduous duties of grand master of the order. Returning to Washington for permanent residence, Mr. Houston has in a comparatively brief period built up a lucrative practice and is ranked with the oldest members of the bar of the District of Columbia regardless of race or color. In addition to his active laborers in the order of Odd Fellows, Mr. Houston is a master Mason and is identified with numerous other fraternal and civic organizations. He is a member of the A. M. E. church. His wife, formerly Miss Mary Hamilton of Wilberforce, O., is also a potent factor in the social and religious activities of the city. The family circle is completed by Master Charles Houston, an unusually bright lad, who graduated with honors from the M street high school, winning a scholarship at Amherst, where he is now making a proud record. Entering upon his duties with the heartiest approval of his admiring fellow citizens and imbued with the highest ideals with reference to the education of his race; the people of the District of Columbia may expect at the hands of Mr. Houston at service that will be painstaking, conscientious and productive of golden results to all concerned.

MOTHER AND BABE SAVED FROM FLOOD Preacher and Another Defy Death For Helpless Pair. In the midst of one of the fiercest storms in the history of western Kentucky the levee protecting the low lying part of the town of Hickman broke recently with a roar which roused the entire population. More than a hundred cottages occupied the flat land behind the levee. It was 11 o'clock at night and intensely dark except when the frequent lightning showed terrifying glimpses of the rushing water, the driving rain and the people hurrying in panic through the rising flood toward the hill. They carried their children and such valuables as they had time to soze. Up on the hill in warmth and safety Rev. J. H. Golker heard the deep roar and understood. Suddenly he remembered that in a little home in the flat below a baby had been born only a O. DUBOIS THE FLOOD SWIRLED ABOUT THEM. few hours before. The baby's father was absent from home, and the helpless mother lay alone with the little one almost directly in the path of the current where it swept through the broken levee. As swiftly as he could run, Mr. Geiger dashed down the hill and into the water, which in a moment had reached his waist. He padded on. In the darkness he met a man fleeing toward the hill with arms loaded with household goods from his flooded' house. Hurriedly Mr. Geiger explained the peril of the mother and baby alone in the path of the water. The man dropped his load without a woe and, as it floated away in the blueskies, turned and joined the preacher. They broke into the cottage, lifted upon their shoulders the cot on which lay mother and child and started toward the hill, but lost a counter of a mile.
