Scenes Along the Racial Discrimin ings in Reco I left Richmond Monday night at 11 o'clock via C. and O. R. R. and after bidding R. C. Mitchell good-bye at the station, it was not long before I was in the land of dreams. Awakened by the movement of the train, it was not long before I again relapsed into that state where the troubles of this world knew me no more. It was 6:30 Tuesday morning when I awoke. I felt somewhat unwell and was unable to do justice to the expensive breakfast which I had ordered on the dining car. Under the new system, each railroad furnishes its own dining car and the Pullman people no longer operate this hotel arrangement on the C. and O. R. R. MET AT CHARLESTON, W. VA The porters and waiters were not long in finding out just who I was and all of the courtesies which could be extended to me were forthcoming. Reaching Charleston, West Virginia at noon, State Librarian J. C. Gilmer met me at the train accompanied by Attorney Phil Waters. He had seen the announcement in the last issue of The PLANET and the taxicab was in waiting to convey me to the station of the K and M. R. R. He conveyed me to the Pythian Building and I was soon safely inside of the well furnished drug store and was being introduced to the proprietor. It may be well to state that Mr. Gilmer is the colored leader who was so highly commended at the National Progressive Convention which met at Chicago. THE LATE REV. DR. WILLIAMS HOME. Our party was soon at the station and a few moments later, the train left for Columbus. I waived an adlen to our entertainers. I was then on my way to Columbus. When the conductor came around, he informed me that I would change cars at Gallipolis, Ohio. This made me transfer to another parlor car. It caused me to spend an hour in Gallipolis. Here I found that I was in the city or town from which the late Rev. Dr. Henry Williams of the Giffield Baptist Church of Petersburg, Va., originally halted and the spot or location of the old homestead was pointed out. When I made myself known to the colored barber there, it was not long before the news had spread over the town that I was in the city. The porter whom I had left was Mr. J. E. Watts of Chicago.. A CAMP MEETING THERE. Many had heard of me and it was not long before I felt myself at home I met Mr. J. H. Holmes, Mr. W. A. Cousins, Sir William L. Gee and Mr. Thomas H. Hill. I visited the post office there and met Sir Gee and others. This locality is a strong Roosevelt district. Attorney James H. Hayes, formerly of Richmond had made campaign speeches there. Rev. Turner, the A. M. E. divine had a large tent stretched and under this, he was conducting a camp meeting for sinners. He announced by a flaming sign that services would be held at 3 P. M. each afternoon. There were just ten persons there including the pastor as I passed, but they were going on with the religious exercises, just as though there had been five hundred. The neigh born said that the attendance at the night meetings was large. FLOODS DID MUCH DAMAGE. This is a strong Roosevelt section and most of the colored people accepted the advice of the white people and leaned towards the Bull Moose Party. There were home though who opposed the Party and they spoke to me in whispers. I was seen on the Hocking Valley train for Columbus. I had telegraphed to Columbus notifying friends there of the change in my arrangements. Mr. Olmer had told me about the news on the K. and M. line, which had put that road out of commission for several days. It was possible to go through but all the trains were running behind time. I had eaten luncheon at a restaurant for colored people at Gallipolin, but decided to try a supper at the station restaurant. IN A WHITE RAILROAD RESTAURANT. The train stopped 20 minutes for this purpose. I entered the dining room. White females served the passengers and I was assigned to a table all to myself, but did not lack for attention. Few passengers had come to luncheon. It was a good meal and I enjoyed it. The train was late getting into Columbus. My telegram had not been delivered. Col. W. H. Ferguson of the local committee Mr. William A. Burk and Mr. John C. Logan met me at the train. I was soon in a carriage enroute to Mr. and Mrs. Harry Alexander's palatial residence at 186 Hamilton Avenue. The streets were crowded. Several efforts to get through met with failure for the reason that the parade was passing. It was a gorgeous affair. GREAT CELEBRATION AT COLUMBUS. It was the celebration of the hundredth anniversary of the founding of the city of Columbus and was known as the Ohio-Columbus Centennial. Gorgeous floats of every description were to be seen and thousands of dollars had been expended. The streets were jammed and packed with a mass of surging humanity and these crowds came from every section of Ohio. It took from two to three hours to pass a given point. I found our party halted and finally all of us got out of the carriage and looked at the procession. There was nothing else to do. When it had passed, we drove to the residence and then after a talk lasting over an hour, I did all adieu and was soon again in the land of dreams. THE PARADE AND THE VISITORS Morning came and with it, the added responsibilities. The parade in which I was to figure took place at 10 p'clock. Rev. Edward L. Gillam. Grand Chancellor of Ohio, who had been selected as Chairman of the local committee of arrangements for Fraternal Day came in the morning and I found him to be as sociable and joyful as they come. He made me welcome and later, the automobile came, and in company with District Grand. Master J. J. Lee of the Odd Fellows. I was soon on the way to the place of assembling for the morning's parade. The colored chauffeur seemed to be in good spirits. A BALKY AUTOMOBILE The Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias made a fine showing under the command of Gen. C. C. Caldwell. The Odd Fellows also made a most creditable display, while the colored company of the National Guard was approval by their military bearing. After much delay the procession moved off. I saw them pass and then our furn came. Don't tell me about automobiles. The machine in which we rode would go backwards but it would not go forward. We ford ourselves back into the National Guard. "Give it a little push." pleaded the chauffeur with a militiaman. He compiled with the request and slowly, the machine moved off. But the line was moving slowly and we had to stop again. CHAIRMAN GILLIAM HAD FAITH. When it came time to move off, the automobile refused to respond and we had the mortification of seeing the last man pass by while the chauffeur with his coat off, worked frantically on the motor. I mildly suggested that we get out and walk and at least have an op- RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1912. portunity to see the procession ourselves. Chairman Gilliam was not ready to agree to this and insisted upon "sitting tight" while the chauffeur declared that he would catch up. He succeeded at the last moment and, we whirled away and secured the position assigned to us. Then came moments of agony. The automobile was all right so long as it kept going, but when it stopped, then came the trouble. Chairman Gilliam was constantly telling the chauffeur, "Don't let her stop!" A PECULIAR PREDICAMENT. Sometimes, we barely missed the band in front in our effort to keep going. Thousands of people had thronged the streets and it was estimated that ten thousand were in line. All three divisions were composed of white organizations and the fourth division was composed of the colored. The entire length of the line of march had been covered and the return trip had begun when the lowering clouds poured down torrents of rain. Our automobile top was hastily adjusted and a few moments later we were being whirled to Mr. Alexander's residence but little worse for our experience. Mr. Harry Alexander and his accomplished madame occupy one of the best-furnished mansions in Columbus. It is tastily built of brick along modern lines and is finished in hard wood, the walls being of rough cast. It is heated by both hot water and natural gas being electrically lighted. In the attic, is a billiard room. MR. ALEXANDER'S RESIDENCE Mr Harry Alexander is a stenographer of note and his wife is a skilled hair artist. She has palatial quarters on a prominent business street where she is blessed with a large patronage, numbering some of the wealthiest white families in Columbus. I had been scheduled to speak at Franklin Park, but Chairman Gilham was of the opinion that it would be called off. Col. W. H. Ferguson was to return and let us know. He returned shortly after 2 o'clock with a carriage and it was with a feeling of relief that all of us entered it. We would reach the Park. The clouds lifted and when we reached Franklin Park, there were but few signs of the heavy downpour of rain, which had drenched the city just an hour of two before. When we reached there, Assistant Prosecuting Attorney W. E. King was there. Impatient over the delay. AN IMPATIENT ATTORNEY "The judge has excused me for only 45 minutes," he said, "and my time is about out. I must return." Mr. King enjoys the unique distinction of being Assistant Prosecuting Attorney. He was prevailed upon to stay and introduce Chairman E. L. Gilliam, who is a power in this section. Then followed the speech-making, the prize drills. I met Mr. W. L. Anderson of Cincinnati, O. He visited Dayton before his return home. Speaking over, another rain set in and we were soon enroute again to Mr. Alexander's residence, where the party enjoyed themselves until the time, for the reception to the speakers, of which I was one. As was there, the electrical storm with wind and rain raged on the outside and at one time the lights went out. AN ELECTRICAL STORM Mrs. Alexander was equal to the emergency and soon had candle burning. An hour later, the carriage came and we left for Linden Hall where a merry crowd had gathered and where sweet music was heard until late in the night. No (Continued on Page Number) Who is all right?

To Washington. When September 16, 1912. A Precocious Child. Little Miss Anna Bertha McPher son of Newport News, Va. was in the city this week. She was accompanied by Mrs. Lizzie McPhergon This little girl was adopted by Mrs. McPherson after she had been aban doned by her mother. She is only 3 years of age and by her songs supports the other two children. She sang several selections at the Planet office. --- "Perhaps he would; quite likely he would, and he would stay here himself." Then suddenly, "You may send the Nadia back to Copah on one condition—that you go with it." At first he thought it was a deliberate insult, the cruelest indignity she had ever put upon him. Knowing his weakness, she was good natured enough or solicita enough to try to get him out of harm's way. Then the steadfast look in her eyes made him uncertain. "It I thought you could say that realizing what it means"—he began, and then he looked away. "Well!" she prompted, and the hand slipped from his shoulder. His eyes were coming back to her. "If I thought you meant that," he repeated, "if I believed that you could displease me so utterly as to think for a moment that I would deliberately turn my back upon my responsibilities here, go away and hunt safety for myself, leaving the men who have stood by me to whatever!"— "You are making it a matter of duty." she interrupted quite gravely "I suppose that is right and proper But isn't your first duty to yourself and to those who?"— She paused and then went on in the same steady tone: "I have been hearing some things today—some of the things you said I would hear. You are well hated in the Red desert. Howard—hated so, mercifully that this quarrel with your men will be almost a personal one. They will kill you if you stay here and let them do it." "Quite possibly." "Howard, do you tell me you can stay here and face all this without flinching?" "Oh, no; I didn't say that!" "But you are facing it." He smiled. "As I told you yesterday, that is one of the things for which I draw my salary. There is another reason why I want you to go away. When the real pinch comes I shall probably disgrace myself and everybody remotely connected with me. I'd a good bit rather be torn into little pieces privately than have you here to be made ashamed—again." She turned away. "Tell me in so many words what you think will be done tonight. What are you expecting?" "I told you a few moments ago in the words of the prayer book—battle and murder and sudden death. A strike has been planned, and it will fall. Five minutes after the first strike abandoned train arrives the town will go mad." She had come close to him again. "Mother won't go and leave father; that is settled. You must do the best you can, with us for a handicap. What will you do with us, Howard?" "I have been thinking about that. The farther you can get away from the shops and the yard, which will be the storm center, the safer you will be. I can have the Nadia set out on the Copperstete switch, which is a good half mile below the town, with Van Low and Jefferis to stand guard"— "They will both be here with you," she interrupted. "Then the alternative is to place the car as near as possible to this building, which will be defended. If there is a riot you can all come up here and be out of the way of chance pistol shots at least." "Ugh!" she shivered. "Is this really civilised America?" "It's America—without much of the civilization. Now, will you go and tell the others what to expect and send Van Law to me? I want to tell him just what to do and how to do it while there is time and an undisturbed chance." CHAPTER XXIV. MISS BREWSTER evidently obeyed her instructions precisely, since Van Low came almost immediately to tap on the door of the superintendent's private room. "Miss Eleanor said you wanted to see me," he began when Lidgerwood had admitted him, adding, "I was just about to chase out to see what had become of her." The frank confession of solicitude was not thrown away upon Lidgerwood, and it cost him an effort to put the athlete on a plane of brotherly equality as a comrade in arms. But he compassed it. "Yes; I asked her to send you up," he replied, then, "I suppose you know what we are confronting. Mr. Van Low." "Mr. Brewster told us as soon as we came back from the hills. Is it likely to be serious?" "Yes. I wish I could have perused ed Mrs. Brewster to order the Nudia out of it. But she has refused to go and leave Mr. Brewster behind." "I know," said Van Low. "We have all refused." "So Miss Brewster has just told me, freewned Lidgwood. "That being the man, we must make the best of him. How are you sized for arms in the president's car?" "I have a hunting rifle, a 46 magazine, and Jeffries has a small armory of rerofters—boylike." "Hang! The defense of the car, if rust materializes, will fall upon you. Two, Judge Holmes can't be counted in. I give you all the help I can Spare, but you'll have to furnish the brains. I suppose I don't need to tell you not to take any chances?" Van Law shook his head and smiled "Not while the dear girl whom, God willing, I'm going to marry is a member of our car party. I'm more likely to be overcautious than reckless, Mr. Lidgerwood." Here, in terms unmistakable, was a deep grave in which to bury any poor phantom of hope which might have survived, but Lidgerwood did not ad vertise the funeral. "She is altogether worthy of the most that you can do for her and the best that you can give her, Mr. Van Law," he said gravely. Then he paused quickly to the more vital matter "The Nada will be placed on the short spur track at this end of the building close in, where you can step from the rear platform of the car to the station platform. I'll try to keep watch for you, but you must also keep watch for yourself. If any fire begins get your people out quietly and bring them up here. Of course none of you will have anything worse than a stray bullet to fear, but the side walls of the Nadia would offer no protection against that." Van Lew nodded understandingly. "Call it settled," he said. "Shall I use my own judgment as to the proper moment to make the break, or will you pass us the word?" Lidgerwood took time to consider. Conditions might arise under which the Crow's Nest would be the most unsafe place in Angels to which to flee for shelter. "Perhaps you would better sit tight until I give the word." he directed after the reflective pause, then in a lighter vein: "All of these careful prefigurings may be entirely beside the mark. Mr. Van Lew. I hope this event may prove that they were. Don't let the women worry any more than they have to." "You can trust me for that," laughed the athlete, and he went his way to begin the keeping up of appearances. At 7 o'clock, just as Lidgerwood was finishing the luncheon which had been sent up to his office from the station kitchen, train 203 pulled in from the east, and a little later Dawson's belated wrecking train trailed up from the west, bringing the "cripples" from the Little Butte disaster. Lidgerwood summoned McCloskey. "I wish you go downstairs and see if Gridley came in on 203. If he did bring him and Benson up here, and we'll hold a council of war. If you see Dawson send him home to his mother and sister. He can report to me later if he finds it safe to leave his womankind." The door of the outer office had barely 'closed behind McCloskey when that opening into the corridor awoken upon its hinges to admit the master mechanic. He was dusty and travel stained, but nothing seemed to stale his genial good humor. "Well, well, Mr. Lidgerwood! So the hoboes have asked to see your hand at last, have they?" he began sympathetically. "I beard of it over in Copab just in good time to let me catch 203. You're not going to let them make you show down, are you?" "No," said Lidgerwood. "That's right. That's precisely the way to stack it up. Of course you know you can count on me. I've got a beautiful lot of pirates over in the shops, but we'll try to hold them level." Then in the same even tone: "They tell me we went into the hole again last night over at Little Butte Pretty bad." "Very bad. Six killed outright and as many more to bury later on, I am told by the Red Butte doctors." "Heavens and earth! The men are calling it a broken rail. Was it?" "A loosened rail," corrected Lidger. wood. The master mechanic's eyes narrowed. "Natural?" he asked. "No; artificial." Gridley swore savagely "This thing's got to stop. Lidger wood! Sift it - sift it to the bottom. Whom do you suspect?" It was a plain truth, though an unintentionally misleading one, that the superintendent put into his reply. "I don't suspect any one, Gridley," he began, and he was going on to say that suspicion had grown to certainty when the latch of the door opening from the outer office clicked again and McCloskey came in with Benson. The master mechanic excused himself abruptly when he saw who the trainmaster's follower was. "I'll go and get something to eat," he said hurriedly, utter which I'll pick up a few men whom we can depend upon and garrison—the shops. Send over for me if you need me." Benson looked hard at the door which was still quivering under Gridley's outgoing slam. And when the master mechanic's tread was no longer audible in the upper corridor the young engineer turned to the man at the desk to say, "What tickled the boes machinist, Lidgerwood?" "I don't know. Why?" Benson looked at McCloskey. "Just as we came in he was standing over you with a look in his eyes as if he were about to murder you and couldn't quite make up his mind as to the simplest way of doing it. Then the look changed to his usual cast iron smile in the dirt of a dog's hand leg-at some joke you were telling, I took it." Being careful and troubled about many things, Lidgerwood missed the point of Benson's remark: could not remember when he tried just what it was that he had been saying to Gridley when the interruption came. But the matter was easily dismissed. Having his two chief lieutenants before him, the superintendent ordered the op. portability to outline the plan of campagne for the night. McCloskey was to stay by the wires, with Callahan to share his watch. Dawson when he should come down was to pick up a few of the loyal engineers and guard the roundhouse. Benson was to take change of the yards, keeping his eye on the Basil. If the first indication of all plumbing he was to paint the wires THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. to Van Lew, who would immediately transfer the private car party to the second floor offices in the headquarters building. "That is all," was Lidgerwood's summing up when he had made his dispositions like a careful commander in chief—"all but one thing. Mac, have you zero anything of Hallock?" "Not since the middle of the afternoon," was the prompt reply. "And Judson has not yet reported?" "No." "Well, this is for you: Benson-Mac already knows it: Judson is out looking for Hallock. He has a warrant for Hallock's arrest." Benson's eyes narrowed. "Then you have found the ringleader at last, have you?" he asked. "I am sorry to say that there doesn't seem to be any doubt of Hallock's guilt. The arrest will be made quietly. Juddon understands that. There is an other man that we've got to have, and there is no time just now to go after him." "Who is the other man?" asked Benson. "It is Flemister, the man who has the stolen switching engine boxed up in a power house built out of planks sawed from your Gloria bridge timbers." "I told you so!" exclaimed the young engineer. "By Jove, I'll never forgive you if you don't send him" to the rock pile for that, Lidgervor wood." "I have promised to hang him," said the superintendent soberly—"him and the man who has been working with him." "And that's Rankin Hallock" cut in the trainmaster vindictively, and his scowl was grotesquely hideous. "Can you hang them, Mr. Lidgerwood?" "Yes. Flemister and a man whom Judson has identified as Hallock were the two who ditched 204 at Silver Brown. "TELL ADD ONE MORE STRAND TO THE BOOP." "ILL, ADD ONE MORE STRAND TO THE ROPE." Switch last night. The charge in Jud son's warrant reads "train wrecking and murder."" The trainmaster smote the desk with his fist. "I'll add one more strand to the rope—Hallock's rope," he gritted ferociously. "You remember what I told you about that loosened rail that caused the wreck in the Crosswater hills! You said Hallock had gone to Navajo to see Cruikhanks. He did go to Navajo, but he got there just exactly four hours after 202 had gone on past Navajo, and he came on foot, walking down the track from the bills." "Where did you get that?" asked Ldgerwood quickly. "From the agent at Navajo. I wasn't satisfied with the way it shaped up, and I did a little investigating on my own hook." It was close upon 8 o'clock when the two leeantens went to their respective posts. It was fully an hour further along and the tense strain of suspense was beginning to tell upon the man who sat thoughtful and alone in the second floor office of the Crow's Nest when Basson ran up to report the situation in the yards. "Everything quiet so far," was the news he brought. "We've got the Nadia on the east spur, where the folks can alp out and make their getaway if they have to. There are several lit the squads of the discharged men hanging around, but not many more than usual. The east and west yards are clear, and the three sections of the midnight freight are crewed and ready to pull out when the time comes. The folks are playing dummy whist in the Nadia, and Gridley is holding the feet at the shops with the toughest looking lot of mymidons you ever laid your eyes on." Once again Lidgerwood was making thirty squares on his desk blotter. "I'm thankful that the news of the strike got to Copah in time to bring Gridley over on 203," he said. Beenson's boyish eyes opened to their widest angle. "Did he say he came in on two-three?" he asked. "He did." "Well, that's odd—devilish odd. I was on that train, and I rambled it from one end to the other, which is a bad habit I have when I'm trying to kill travel time. Gridley isn't a man to be easily overlooked. Becken he was riding on the brake beams. He was dirty enough to make the green good. Hello, Freud—this to Dawson, who had at that moment let himself in through the deserted outer office. We were just talking about your boast and wondering how he got here from Copah on two-three without my seeing him." "He didn't come from Copenhagen," and the drummers branied. "He came in with me from the west on the wrecking train. He was in Red Burton, and he had an engine, bring him down to River Swimch, where he could not fast as we were piling out."

The results of different treatments of hogs came to my notice last spring, when a neighbor sold two average pigs eight weeks old to a man who did not have any other hogs, says a West Virginia correspondent of the American Agriculturist. He bought the two hogs to make pork the next fall and, of course, wanted to give them a good chance to do their best. They were fed wheat middlings, milk and scraps from the table, in addition to the pasture they gathered. They were grade Chester Whites, farrowed in April. These two pigs dressed between 150 and 175 pounds each when about seven months old. The pigs that had not been sold and out of the same litter were allowed to run on pasture, and when corn was ready to feed they were fed enough corn to put them in pork condition, but when slaughtered at about the same time as the other two they only weighed sixty-five to seventy pounds each. There was a difference of nearly 100 pounds between these well fed hogs and their mates not so fed, and it was wholly due to different treatments. It is easy to see which was the more economical pork producer—the well cared for hog or the one which got enough feed to barely live until fattening time. The difference in value was almost $10, as pork sold at 10 cents a pound here last fall. The two well cared for hogs did not eat near $10 worth of feed from the time they were separated from their mates until they were slaughtered. I SHALL BE WORTHY. I MAY not reach the heights I seek; My untidied strength may fall me, Or halfway up the mountain peak ... Where tempests may assail me; But heights will never see. This thought shall always dwell with me I will be worthy of it. I MAY not triumph in success, Despite my earnest labor. I may not grasp results that bless The efforts of my neighbor; But though life's dearest joy I miss, There lies a nameless strength in this... I will be worthy of this.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1912 EDITOR CLIFFORD AND COL. ROOSEVELT. Our esteemed contemporary, The Pioneer Press of Martinburg, West Virginia, in its name of the 24th alt pays: The able editor of the Richmond Planet-Planet John Mitchell, Jr., is a farseeing man. Had he been in Chicago and attended the convention seen and heard all that went on, he would feel and see some things differently; however, as he sees the door of hope closed (7) against the Southern Negroes (7) it has already begun to have good effect in the South, in that Negroes are turning over to the Democrats, and they are receiving them. Brother Mitchell, he logical, and if your prophecy he correct, be logical, and if your prophecy he correct, be the old woman to whom bread was thrown down a chimney in answer to her praiser, and later learning some tough boys did it, said: "God sent it any how, and I thank Him for it." We are of the opinion that we are of all things, logical, just as the old woman was of all things, logical. She was more anxious for results than she was as to the means by which she obtained them. This position though has been the curse of our latter day politics. In our mad race for success, money, commercialism, great principles have been forgotten. It was the same during the greatest prosperity of Greece and Rome and resulted in the final downfall of both kingdoms. When nature's laws are violated some one must pay the penalty. It is just as true in the realm of political economy and civil government. At some time, the penalty shall be paid and the nation will be the sufferer. All great reforms have been brought about by a minority band of workers, who with right on their side ultimately became the majority. Individuals may go wrong but when a party, a great political party goes wrong upon a basic principle, the seed of speedy decay and death is sowed within its frame at its birth. Still, we believe with the Scriptures that if the movement is wrong it will come to naught. The Pioneer Press says: That Southern Negro delegates four years have been purchasable, could hon- than $200 est John Sherman testify, our a- manner. sertions would be backed up in Heaven's in June last, dozens of Negro delegates (?) had been bought and they were walked with and watched over by Southern whites—a shameful disgrace. If they had not been bought why were they watched? The very fact that Banks gave back $800.00 of the Taft funds is proof enough that others had it too. They are guilty—the buyers and the sellers and the day of elimination is at hand. To say that Southern Negro delegates are purghasable proves but little. There are few political delegates from the North, East, South or West who are not purghasable. It is not a question of race or color. It is a question of price. Judge Skoven of Bristol, Va. has just completed the task of convicting about a score of citizens for selling their votes at prices ranging from one dollar and upwards. All of the convicted most white and one of them was a white minister of the gospel. We hid the polite officials adieu deeply impressed with what we had seen and heard. I visited the offices of Attorney W. E. King, L. H. Godman and T. H. Goode, meeting Mr. Robert B. Barre there. I met also Mr. John C. Logan and found his accomplished madame in charge. I visited the two printing offices in the building. When the last word was said, I was soon unroute to Springfield. I wwent up to Mrs. Perrina's residence and then next door to Mr. J. H. Wilson's residence. They were out. I met Major W. H. Young and also Mr. Quisenbury, who pleaded with us to spend the night at his residence. I had promised though, to go to Dayton that night and so after a pleasant interview, I went to the station of the Ohio Electric Railway to get my luggage and transfer it to the station of the Big Four R. R. OFFERED TO SERVE LUNCH IN THE KITCHEN. I felt like eating luncheon and seeing the words "Leunch Room" entered a commonplace looking depart moment of the station and sat at the citizens clothes after the citizens clothes came up to me without looking at me asked what Whatever evil is seen then in a colored man is but a collection of what exists in some white man. Negroes are expected to be immature. They are tabooed if they do not possess all of the good qualities of the white man and killed out of the Progressive party when they do possess all of the good qualities of the white man. If they do not live in West Virginia and the Northern States. If colored men are demanding more than eight hundred dollars as to the selling price, it goes to show that they are improving in wisdom and that they are demanding enough money to in a measure repay them for contempt to which they will allow the subjected as a form of their backsliding.

Returning home, I arranged to take in the sights of the Stato Fajp the best morning and Mr. Harry. Also older consented to accompany me. President Telf was also scheduled to be put there. The live rock display was the best I had ever seen. As I was about to leave the attention was attracted to an annoyed and bored man who went to the name of Murphy. He described that he was happy and that the attention that came to him was making that came to him. He had been told that he went through the task of the hall himself. He put on a dress for the occasion and attended with it.

When he's od for the it was even with a will. We had competed our trip and had checked to no over to Springfield on the suburban limited which set at 720 P.M. We visited the Neil House where he saw Mr. Royal D'Arco Captain of the Bellem. He formally lived in Richmond. Mrs. Darlene Redd is in charge of the Alexander mansion and well does the perform the task. I learned for the first time that Rev. W. F. Nash now of Richmond, Va. had formerly lived in Columbus. We went to the station in company with Mr. Harry Alexander. We purchased the ticket and upon our return found Mr. Alexander congratulating me two white gentlemen. He invited me up and then I found them who were the activists. One of them was identified as Wilson and made many enquiries about officers in this city whom he met during his visit there. LOOKING FOR CASHIER HILL. When they learned that I was a banker, one of them laughingly remarked that I was not the one they were looking for. He gave a good description of Carlsberg R. T. Hill. "Hill must have gotten out of the country," he remarked. "If he had not, he would have been picked up long before this." It may be well to remark that in company with Mr. Alexander, I had visited the 'Ohio National Bank which had recently installed a most costly bank outfit. The building was so large that the bank and in it was a magnificent and cozy round door vault of polished steel built by the Dielbold Safe and Lock Co. of Canton, Ohio. Upon being introduced to the President, Mr. Emil Kleesweetter, he stopped his labor and gave his personal attention to us. A ROUND DOOR VAULT. He showed us through the large costly and spacious vault, one of the largest in that section of the country. It had an emergency door, which barred against lock-outs. The large steel round door had four time locks. I was introduced to the manager immediately told his father that he had barred the session of the American Bankers Association at Los Angeles, Cal.

I wanted, I told him, "Serve you in the kitchen." was his response. He did not look up, I bowed myself out. I had not taken a seat at the tables, but only at the lunch counter and for the first time in my career had been denied accommodations there. I wanted to see just what kind of a kitchen he had in and in which he had offered to serve me. I went around to the other side and saw a partitioned room of about six by seven feet. In this was a gas range presidium here was a white female toilet. I half respected that. I had no Ohloum to the test and accepted his invitation "to serve in the kitchen" there. I would no doubt have caused further exclusion and no end of embarrassment to the Negotiating deputy sort of the Ohio railway station. PECTLIVE CONDITIONS It showed the varying conditions in Ohio. South of Columbus, I had been cheerfully arrived in a railroad restaurant. West of Columbus, I had been peacefully told that I for a while wanted to miss I for a while on these cool days and then wandered the way with my luggage to the Big Four Station where I met Mr. Quincy Bentley and by the way, he did a part of my language with aliens. I met as Mr. John Huffman, son of Mr. Samuel E. Huffman. He was the only way to Darton and he drew on the student science I had to wear the hoodpecker of the United D. Memorial Hall that night. MR. PINLEYS PLANT Reaching to the somewhat late it was not well before I was at the residence of Mr. J. H. Finley, N.Y. Mead street. He had recently returned from the meeting of the National Negro Business League at Chicago. He has a large carpet clean and renovating plant and the 50 H. P. gas engine was in action constantly during the day. It was not very long before his daughters came down stairs prepared for the banquet of the colored Ellis which was scheduled to take place at Memorial Hall. I was introduced to Miss Willa and Mabel Finley and was soon on the way with them to the place of the evening's entertainment. This was Thursday night, August 28th. THE ELKA CONVENTION Many had gathered there. The Elks' convention was still in session. The white lodge of Elks had sud- out an injunction the day before restricting the colored lodge of Elks from using the emblems or name of that organization and the case had been set for a hearing the next morning. The Grand Lodge hurriedly adjourned that night and when the case was called the nationa- organization and its delegates had left Dayton. Attorney Gilles B. Jackson of Richmond, Va. had been in the city with a bill for local services, ag- gestating $2,000.00. It was not paid and he left threatening to enter suit for the amount. Delegates to the Elks Convention complained that they had been barred from practically every saloon in Dayton. Mr. James T. Carter of Richmond, Va. was elected Tiller. THE SHEATH GOWN I met many friends from other States. Major-General R. R. Jack son was there as was also Attorney Francis J. Warren of Detroit. I met Attorney Thomas Norris, formerly of Norfolk, Va. He is married and practicing law in Dayton. Mr John White of Richmond had his mistrust to be slick during his stay in Dayton and did not attend a meeting of the Elke. He was under the treatment, of Dr. R. E. Jones and sent home an invalid. I met Measara, Lewis Hall, A. J. Brown, Powell Williams and Col. Archer Drew. Two of the colored ladies promenced the ball room floor and danced in shortho knees with their limbs showing up to the knee. This was the first time I had seen the French innovation introduced in an American ball room. AN AUTOMOBILE RIDE Friday morning I enjoyed an automobile ride over the city of Dayton. I saw the homehead of Paul Laurence Dunbar. I met Miss Ma belle Clark of Xenia, O. At 11 o'clock I left Dayton for Richmond Va. The next morning found me in Washington just 45 minutes late. I got into the lunch room there and piloted around to an end of the lunch counter for colored people. I had not been advised of this discrimination even in the city of Washington: I called on Attorney W. Calvin Chase at the Bee Office and found him at his desk as jovial as ever. He, too had been the victim of racial discrimination. He had been named as one of the committee on notification of Hoe: James S. Sheer man of his nomination as candidate for Vice President: on the Republi- cation Arrangements* had been made at the hotel in Utica for the entire party. ATTORNEY CHASE WENT HOME. When he presented himself at the hotel at Utica, New York, he was told that there was no room. The chairman of the committee failed to adjust the matter and Committeeman took the next train for Washington. The showed the condition of affairs in this country at the present time. ! The Republican Party did give him some show as long as he could be used to advantage. But, oh, what a change to day! He can't do deliver the goods now in the Southern States. President Thi. Christopher has no particular feeling for him and he doesn't fall to kick him out wherever the chance offers itself. The Negro ought not to be fooled by or two appointments here and there given for the purpose of salving the many and mighty kicks given. Consided the leader of the Progressive Party. What was his record while president? Did he not in the face of almost country wide opposition take the stand, that the "door of hope" should not be closed. Why then fear him and talk soon. I called on Recorder of Deeds Henry Lincoln Johnson and found him surrounded by a number of colored leaders. Two of them, including a colored undertaker from New Jersey were there to convince him that the only hope was to follow the fortunes of Col. Theodore Roosevelt and the Bull Moose Party. He declared he would straighten Recorder Johnson and laughingly remarked that as the illinguished Recorder of Deeds showed his signs of death, it would be necessary to get him into a casket to do it. COULD NOT CHANGE HIM. In the meantime, Recorder Henry Lincoln Johnson was tireless in his advocacy of the principles of the Republican Party and in praising President Taft. I had but a few moments and after greeting Mr. Johnson, him admoni and hurried to take the 12:01 train to Richmond Va. At the station, I met Rev. Walter H. Brooks in D., who had recounted lost his wife. He gave me a package for his sister-in-law, Mrs. Julia Dawson, saying that he was too much overcome by his troubles to write. I reached Richmond a 2:50 Saturday afternoon. LEESHURG (VA.) NOTES Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Fletcher and daughter of Washington, D.

You do yourself and the cause of humanity an injustice when you neglect or delay to send for Windows' call. The price is only fifty cents. Add five cents for postage. (Boston, Mass., Guardian.) Hence Roosevelt raises the issue of national decolal of color disfranchisement. He calls on the North to join him. He does this when even the National Democratic Party does not do so, and colored men are trying to do so this party uses its influence for a betterment of those conditions. Mr. Roosevelt therefore makes it impossible for any colored man to support him. He stands for Northern action against the principle of the 16th amendment. Taft is objectionable. Wilson is permissible and advantageous as a protest and means of bettering conditions in the South. Roosevelt is impossible. Let all colored men now who have been with him quit him. Let all colored men drop past differences and join hands to supreme uplifted effort to oppose this raiding the cry for the North to agree to leave the colored citizen of the South the mercies of his white disfranchiser. Insult to Colorful Men (Richmond, Va. Reformer) We look upon his polled as an insult to the Negroes of the North and West and advise them to steer clear of the Progressive Party. Of two evils let us choose the lesser and remain where we are—in the Republican Party. This trick is as plain as the nose on the face. He wants to get the Southern white at the expense of the Negro, and at the same time maintain his hold upon the Northern and Western Negro since they the balance of power in their respective States. Insurgence is the worst of which one can be guilty. Col. Roosevelt has been proclaiming all these years by the Negro vote and was willing to accept it. In order to be nominated by the Republican Convention at Chicago, but it was not purchasable. The Republican Party, with the Negro included, though now corrupted was all right as long as it was bestowed honors upon him, but as soon as it declined to nominate him for a third term it has committed an unjustable sin for which it must be destroyed. Can Now See. San Francisco, California Western Outlook. While the platform makes an appeal for the sake of humanity, yet it is for white humanity, and we are as much as told that it is a white man's party. Let it be such, we have no quarrel along this line, for we believe that in the face of what seems to be a fairly good launchment defeat awaits it. And we firmly believe that those colored men hereabouts who have been crying for the new party, as the campaign advances, and the scales fall from their eyes and reason gets into their brains, will have none of it. ____, ____ Must Look Out For Ourselves (Newport News, Va., Star.) This week in Chicago the National Progressive Party held by ex-President Roosevelt, in whom the Negro had placed his last ray of hope, has by Col. Roosevelt own dictation said in unmistakable words that the Negro must hone his political row as best he can in the South. It is no new thing to us. Long ago we have been seeing the hand writing on the wall and we have been encouraging to show it to our people. Until can get a people to understand, that all their future political shapes are in their own hands they can't possibly hope to accomplish anything. We have friends among the better class of white people in the South and we should cultivate their friendship in such a way as to gain their help and encouragement along all lines. They hesitate to reach out a hand to those of us who are deserving, because they fear public opinion about the Negro political status, and then so many of the very mom of the race, who ought to stand for the honor and integrity of the race are too much troubled with the itch ing palm, and instead of helping a cause for the good there is in it, they frequently demand a hand me out for any service they are called upon to perform. All the parties have put us upon our own resources and consider us too heavy a burden to carry and our one last hope is to show them all, that we feel equal to our occasion and hereafter we will should the burden like men and prove that we know how to separate the chair from the grain and will not hesitate so to do. Should Not Fear Booeyelt (Columbia, S. C. Indicator ) rot as the Progressive Party is to be a white man's party'. The letter of Col. Roosevelt to Mr. Harris together with his many and fearless record as president should always be kept in mind. No Negro should fear Theodore Roosevelt. The Northern Negro can help their brothers of the South by giving their support to the Progressive Party. The nominee of the party understanding of the condition which governs its country. The colored man's only chance to be counted for what he is worth lies with the Progressive Party. The Republican Party has already given him too much taffy. Lot the Negro be a man, it is time. Can't Catch Enough of Them. (Lexington, Va., Weekly News.)

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. Dr. J. G. Merrill, ex-President of Fluk University says: "I have heard so much of Wisdom's 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, choice rhetoric and Christian ideas. Her, Mr. Griggs is significantly a great thinker, a GENIUS and a statesman." THE ORION PUN, CO. EAST STATION, NASHVILLE, TN --- TRUST VIOLATED OIL DECREE Allege Dissolution Order Has Not Been Obeyed In Texas. Government Charges Conspiracy In Plot to Destroy Business of Rival Firm—Archbold in Net. The first move of the government against the Standard Oil Co. since it was dissolved last November under the mandate of the supreme court of the United States to its thirty-three component parts to restore competition, was brought when the federal grand jury for the northern district of Texas returned an indictment against several oil men as representatives of the oil trust. Restraint of trade and commerce and unlawful compiracy and combination in violation of the anti-trust laws are alleged in the indictments. It is charged that the individual defendants, the Standard Oil company and the Magnolia Petroleum company, conspired to destroy the business of the Pierce Fordyce Oil association, of Texas. The specific offense is alleged to have occurred on June 29, 1912. The names of the following persons appear in toe indictment: Calvin N. Paine, Tituxville, Pa.; John D. Archbold, New York; Henry C. Folker, Jr, New York; John Sealin, Galveston, Tex.; A. C. Elbe, Dallas, Tex.; E. R. Brown, Corseana, Tex.; W. S. Teague, Plainfield, N. J.; Standard Oil Company of New York; Standard Oil Company of New Jersey; Magnolia Petroleum Company of Texas. At the department of justice it was said that the indictment was the result of a three months' investigation of charges that the decree dissolving the trust has been violated. The government, it was added, had not decided whether or not it would proceed on the question of the violation of the decree, which would involve contempt proceedings. The question was considered under the criminal feature of the Sherman law by the Texas grand jury. Contempt proceedings would have to be undertaken directly before a federal court. Such action is beyond the function of a grand jury. The indictment, it is pointed out, will not bar the government from prosecuting for contempt of court in case that course is considered desirable. Officials of the department of justice believed, it was declared, that the initial move in the case should be made through a grand jury, and then if it developed that an indictment did not promise to satisfy the law's demands, they could resort to contempt proceedings as well. The special grand jury which returned the indictment had been working on the case since last Tuesday, when it was convened to consider the government's allegations and evidence. The colority with which it concluded the inquiry surprised officials in Washington. A fight between Standard Oil interests and the Waters-Pierce Oil company, now pending in the federal court at St. Louis, involves the faithfulness of the Standard Oil in carrying out the decree of dissolution. The federal government is not a party to this suit, which was brought nominally by the state of Missouri to compel the inspectors of the election of officers of the Waters-Pierce Oil company at St. Louis last February to vote the proxies of the Rockefeller and other Standard Oil interests which are said to have named Standard Oil men as officials of the company. The inspectors refused on the ground that it would violate the dissolution decree. Gonfessed Killing Woman. Norman B. McCleary, the young athlete, who is held in Hagerstown, MD, on the charge of murdering Mrs. Nandle B. Henry in her home on Thursday, Aug. 15, is reported to have made a voluntary confession in writing. The confession is understood to have been made in the jail soon after McCleary was brought from Washington, where he was arrested at the in stance of Miss Lupa Henry, his sweet heart, and a daughter of the murdered woman. On the night of Aug. 15 he went to the Henry home, and was told by Mrs. Henry that his visits to her daughter were unwelcome. He demanded to know where the girl, who had left the city, had gone, and Mrs. Henry refused to tell him. McCleary left in a rage and later returned to the house, entering the rear and creeping upstairs, entered Mrs. Henry's room. The woman again refused to give him the girl's address, harsh words followed, and McCleary, it is said, grabbed Mrs. Henry by the throat and choked her, throwing her upon the bed. He searched for a letter from the girl, but failed to find it. The following night he is said to have returned to the house and took money from Mrs. Henry's stocking. On Saturday night McCleary decided to make another search of the house and took the money that remained and is alleged to have found the letter containing the daughter's address. Washington. The next day McCleary left for that city. Raise For Rural Carriers. By authority conferred by the post-office appropriation bill, Postmaster General Hitchcock increased the salaries of rural letter carriers on standard routes from $1000 to $1100 a year, thus affecting 30,000 men, with proportionate increase to carriers on the shorter routes. The order will become effective Sept. 30. This will mean an increased disbursement of $4,000,000 a year. It is the second salary advance for rural carriers made in the last four years. At the close of the last fiscal year, on June 30, there were 42,051 rural mail carriers, the aggregate pay being $40,655,740. When the rural delivery system was instituted sixteen years ago eighty-three carriers were employed at an annual cost of $14,800, the maximum individual pay being $200 a year. The increase provides the rural carriers adequate compensation for the additional burdens to be imposed by the parcels post system, effective on Jan. 1. Official Killed by Train. County Commissioner Montgomery Christman, sixty-six years old, was killed in Pottstown, Pa., by being struck by a train. Mr. Christman, while on his way, to attend the Pottstown fair at Mill Park, had to cross the tracks of the Cole brookdale branch of the Reading railway. He failed to notice the approach of a milk train and was struck by the cowcatcher of the locomotive and was hurled many feet. He was alive when picked up and was hurriedly conveyed to the Pottstown hospital in an auto. His skull was fractured, several ribs were broken and he was internally injured. He died about one hour after he was admitted to the hospital. Commissioner Christman was a Democrat in politics and was the minority commissioner of Montgomery county. Millionaire Meets Horrible Death. Solomon Luna, millionaire banker and sheep grower, for sixteen year- Republican national committeeman for New Mexico, and who refused to accept the election to the United States senate at the hands of the first state legislature, met a tragic death at Horse Springs, Socorro county, seventy six miles from Magdalena, N. M. He fell into a vat containing thousands of gallons of sheep dip after being attacked with heart failure. Becoming ill during the night, it is supposed that Luna went from his room to the dipping vat a few yards from the ranch house to get water and was stricken with sudden heart failure, falling into the mixture of lime, sulphur, tobacco and water. Rat Gnaws Little Girls Cries of his two little girls, Mary and Anna, aged five and seven years, awakened Arthur Gething at his home in Nantucket, near Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Rushing to their bed, he found them bleeding profusely from wounds on the face and arms and fighting desperately the attacks of a large rat which was gnawing their flesh. He killed the rat. The faces of the little girls are horribly chewed and they will no doubt be disgusted for life. --- Killa Her Three Children Mrs Sarah Fycher quarreled with her husband in Brooklyn, N. Y., and later in his absence lay down on the bed with her four young children and turned on the gas. When Fycher returned three of the children—Muriel, five; Harold, four, and Edward, eight—were dead, and the mother was unconscious. A fourth child was revived. The mother has little chance of recovery. Fifty-three blooded foxhounds, valued at $2000, in the kennels of W. G. Little and Al White, of Harmony, Del, were killed by State Veterinarian James R. Mahaffy. They were bitten by a prize foxhound in the same kennels and all showed symptoms of the rabies. Kills Herself Over 20 Cents.

Watch for our new serial, "THE THREE GUARDMEN" by Alexander Dunn. Declares Testimony of Archbold and Penrose Is Attack on Dead Man and a Reflection on Themselves. Theodore Roosevelt gave out the letter which he has sent to Senator Moses E. Clapp, chairman of the senate committee which is investigating campaign contributions, before which Senator Penrose and John D. Archbold charged that Mr. Roosevelt had been a party to the soliciting and accepting of Standard Oil campaign contributions in 1904. Mr. Roosevelt almost at the opening gives the lie in these words: "As regards the statement of Mr. Penrose and Mr. Archbold that with my consent or knowledge Mr. Bliss asked the Standard Oil people for $100,000 or any other sum, or received such sum from them, it is an unqualified falsehood." Further on Colonel Roosevelt compares Senator Penrose to a grafting policeman, and adds: "His language is precisely the language that might be used by a blackmailing, police officer in a big city in advising the keeper of a law-breaking liquor saloon or a gambling house to contribute liberally, because otherwise he might 'incur hostility in certain quarters.' If this language were proved against the policeman he would be removed from the police force, and as it is admitted by the senator, he should be removed from the senate." Mr. Roosevelt promises that there shall be full publicity of contributions in his primary campaign last spring. "I wish $\phi$o emphasize the fact," he continues, "that the testimony of Mr. Archbold and Mr. Penrose in this matter is an attack on Mr. Bliss, who is dead, and is also unwittingly the severest possible reflection on them ourselves; but it is in no sense any attack upon me except in so far that they assert that the dead man said that I knew of his request for money from them." "I do not believe that Mr. Bliss said this any more than I believe their accusation that Mr. Bliss deliberately tried to blackmail the Standard Oil. But please keep in mind that this is an assault on Mr. Bliss and not on me." After a sweeping denial of knowledge or consent to any of the steps in the transactions as set forth by the two witnesses, he pays a glowing tribute to the memory of Mr. Bliss, but adds that of course he could not say whether Mr. Bliss had asked for or had received the money. Further to prove that his skirt is entirely clean in the matter, although the skirts of others might not be so clean, Mr. Roosevelt quotes from what purported to be an interview with Cornelius N. Blisa, published in the New York Herald of Dec. 24, 1911. In this Mr. Blisa is quoted as correcting Edward H. Harriman's statement that in 1904 he received word of the desperate state in New York from Mr. Roosevelt. Mr. Blisa said that he conveyed that information to the railroad man. He discusses the situation and the steps taken to raise the $200,00. At the conclusion of the interview there are these questions quoted in the Roosevelt letter, which apparently further involves Mr. Blisa: "Then the president had nothing to do with the raising of the money?" Answer. "Not once in the conference of the committee was there any suggestion that he was doing it. The only thing that Mr. Roosevelt had to do with such matters was to issue orders that money was not to be accepted from this or that persons. His orders were ignored; as it was recognized that this was something about which he must not interfere, and I brooked no interference." The letter to Senator Chapp, which is about 15,000 words long, goes exhastively into his correspondence with Chairman Cortelyou, of Oct. 20 and 27, in which it is ordered that the $100,000 from the Standard Oil company be returned at once, although the sum is not mentioned, all of which was just after the time that Alton B Parker had first made his charge that the Republican nominee and his chairman were obtaining money from the great corporations in an effective way. It pays its respects to Mr. Penrose and tolls of the removal of a Penrose benchman of the name of Bunn from the Philadelphia postoffice, and then it sets forth in full the famous White House statement of the night of Nov. 4. In which Judge Parker is castigated for accusing Mr. Cortelyou and the nominee of holding up corporations. The often printed Harriman correspondence is reprinted in full, and after announcing Collector Loeb, then private secretary, as corroborating witness, mention is made of Senator Jonathan Bourne as an intermediary for Standard Oil at about the time the auctions were to be brought. Incidentally a paragraph is injected to give the colonel an opportunity to praise William R. Hearst for his public service of high importance, and Mr. Hearst is requested to publish everything he has of the Archbold letter files. The colonel offers to supply anything he may have it data upon which he can search his letter files is forwarded to him. DEATH LIST REACHES 40 Growing Crops Ruined by Floods in Western Pennsylvania. The number of fatalities from the floods of Monday in western Pennsylvania, the Pan Handle of West Virginia and eastern Ohio was increased to forty when it became known that HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE BY WOODRUM WILSON John Domestel, his wife and two children were missing from the ruins of their home on Charters creek, near Canonsburg, Pa. Fifteen bodies have been recovered from debris scattered through the valley of Harmon's creek, near Collers, W. Va., since being residents of Collers and six of Holiday's Cove. Searching parties are working in the valleys of the stricken district, digging in the ruins of demolished houses in the hope of finding bodies, but in many instances the rush of water was so strong that it is believed the victims were carried far from the places where they met death. The Charleston valley from Washington, Pa., to McKees Rocks, Pa., where the little stream empties into the Ohio river, is one stretch of devastation. It is estimated that 10,000 acres of growing corn has been ruined, while thousands of tons of hay floated away on the muddy current. The damage done to manufacturing plants will be very heavy. In some instances it will be necessary to install new machinery and work will not be resumed for days, perhaps weeks. The property loss is at least $1,500. The property loss is at least $1000, 000, and probably will be much more. Gems In Verse OLD FAVORITES. LABOR IS PRAYER. LABORAIRE est orare.

JAMES SMITH JR. M. SMITH SEEKS SEAT IN SENATE Former United States Senator James Smith, Jr., the former foe of Governor Wilson, has forced the fighting to Governor Wilson by filing a petition in Trenton, N. J., and placing himself in nomination for the preferential vote for the United States senate and announcing that he will support Wilson and the whole Democratic ticket, and expects that the Democratic organization will support him in return. This is an adroit move, according to the politicians of the state, for the friends of Governor Wilson have been circulating statements that if Smith filed a petition Wilson would go into every county of the state and oppose him. It was also said that if Smith filed a petition then John W. Wescott, of Camden, who placed Wilson in nomination for the presidency, and Senator Gebhardt, of Huntedon, would withdraw their petitions and unite on the candidacy of Congressman William Hughes. These three had been the candidates favorable to Wilson. Means, Gebhardt, Hughes and Wescott held a conference over the situation with Governor Wilson several days ago at Sea Girt, but were then unable to decide which two should withdraw so as to unite the Wilson strength.

Engineer Was Disabled In Wrecked Cab, and Assistant Could Not Get at Throttle or Brake Valve, So He Set Brekes by Hand. UICK wit in an emergency saved a triflehead of passengers on the Central Railroad of New Jersey on April 24, 1899. Percy R. Wooley was hiring a Mother Hubbard, a type of locomotive on which the engineer's cab is perched over the center of the boiler, while the fireman's is at the rear of the sprawling Wootten firebox. This arrangement places the engineer at the middle of the locomotive and the fireman at the end. A running board barely six inches wide is their only means of communication, says the Railroad Man's Magazine, in an article giving details of herotic actions performed by the men of the throttle and firebox. The train was approaching Hamilton, N. J., at sixty miles an hour when Wooley heard a terrific clatter on the right side of the engine. Feeling around the edge of his wind aibled, he saw a cloud of dust, steam and splinters. In the midst of it was Fred De Groff, the engineer, pale and evidently fainting, clinging to the rear door frame of the cab in a position which indicated that his legs were unlens. As Wooley looked the side of the cab fell from the engine, carrying De Groff with it. Side Rod Had Shapped. Wooley knew that the side rod had broken. The side rod is the steel beam connecting the front and rear drivers, through which power applied from the piston through the main rod to the wrist pin, on the forward driver is transmitted to the rear. # This steel beam had snapped in two, and the loose ends, whirling like steel flails, were smashing everything with which they came in contact. Not only was the locomotive "stripping herself," but Woody knew that the stripping A. B. C. D. E. F. G. H. I. J. K. L. M. N. O. P. Q. R. S. T. U. V. W. X. Y. Z.

It was impossible to reach the throttle and brake valve, for the right side of the cab was gone. The levers could not be reached from the left side because the boiler extended to the cab roof. The locomotive was one of the largest used on the road. The crash of anapping steel and a road of escaping steam told him that an injector check valve had been battered away and spurred him to greater efforts as he climbed over the coal in the tender. Down the ladder on the back of the tank he climbed to a little step a few inches above the rail with which all Jersey-Central locomotives are equipped. Beized Air Brake Heel. Grasping the handhold with his right hand, he reached down with his left and seated the air brake boose. Wooley throw every ounce of strength into the effort, and the boose parted. The end he held straightened so suddenly as the air escaped at a pressure of 110 pounds to the square inch that it almost throw him under the wheels. The sight of the air in the train pipe not every bake, and in a few seconds the train comes to a standstill. Mian hurried back to look for the engineer. He was found in a dying condition.

Lesser Worm Continues Its Evil Work Even on Fruit in Barrels. In a bulletin on insects which do serious damage to the apple the United States department of agriculture treats of the lesser apple worm. The larvae, it says, do not reach full development as early in the fall as those of the coding moth and may find their way to barrels with the fruit, where they continue to feed, often doing considerable damage. The picture illustrates apples thus injured as found in barrels in the Washington market, in New York city. The lesser apple worm is probably a native insect, and it infests other fruits, wild and cultivated, including Photograph by United States department of agriculture. INJURY BY LONGER APPLE WORMS, TO APPLES AFTER BARRELING. apples, haws, plums, prunes, cherries, peaches and species of crataegus. It has also been reared from the black knot of plum and from galls on oak and elm. Its life history and habits probably parallel those of the codling moth. It is known to be present quite generally in orchards from Canada south to Georgia and west to the Rocky mountain. It has been found abundantly in apples in the Puget sound district in Washington and is known also from British Columbia. The schedule of treatments recommended for the codling moth will be effective in the control of this species. The treatment for the codling moth is limited almost entirely to spraying the trees with arsenicals, such as parsley green or arsenate of lead. The latter is now principally used. In the east the poison is usually combined with a fungicide. In some sections banding of trees is also employed and under special conditions is a valuable adjunct to spraying. From two to five spray applications are given, according to the section of the country and the season. Of all treatments the first is much the most important. This is given as soon as the blossoms have fallen and has for its object the placing of poison in the only cup of each little applia. This treatment may be successfully given during the sight or ten days between the dropping of the petals and the closing of the calyx lobes. Gems In Verse OLD FAVORITES. TO THE PAST.

For it no crushing vistas For it frowning and stone The lure of the bypath Flowers—and dies alone. —Denver Republican. IF ALL THE SKIES. IF all the skies were sunshine Our faces would be rain To feel once more upon them The cooling splash of rain. IF all the world were music Our hearts would often long For one sweet strain of silence To break the endless song. IF life were always merry Our souls would seek relief And rest from weary laughter In the quiet arms of grief. —Henry van Dyke THE ONE GOLDEN PRIDE. WHY should you be proud of the things you have done? (Of course it is well that you've done them.) Why should you be proud of the wealth you have won? The dollars are drows when you've won them. There's little that others could not do as well. If fate my poor power had stayed. If only one thing my pride's too great to tell— My pride in the friends I have made. Why should you be great in your self biased sight And spout of your deeds like a gyeser? And why should you boast of your wisdom and might? There'll always be some one who's wiser. The pride in the doing is all very fine. But, oh, do forget when it's done! The one golden pride which unattornished must shine. Is the pride in the love you have won. —Detroit News. THE BABY. HE is so little to be so loved he is the unbooted, ungarbed, un- gloved. Yet every one in the house bows down As if the mandicant wore a crown. HE is so little to be so loud! Oh, I own I should be wondrous proud If I had a tongue All swiveled and swung. With a double back action, twin screw lung Which brought me victuals and keep and care Whenever I shook the surrounding air! HE is so little to be so large! Why, a train of cars or a whaleback barge Couldn't carry freight Of the monstrous weight Of all the qualities good and great. And, though one view is as good as an- other, Don't take my word for it—ask his mother. —Edmund Vance Cook. Sorilla and Man Fight A death struggle on the high seas between a huge gorilla from the wilds of Borneo and a brawny sailor, in which the beast was finally killed, took place on the liner Pathan, plying between Yokohama and Boston. The porter, Pedday, was the victim of the infuriated animal's wrath, and only because he was possessed of unusual strength did he escape with his life. The gorilla weighted 200 pounds. Pedday had teased the animal until it went into a frenzy. If tore out of its cage and with its gigantic, barky arms about the porter bore him to the deck. Pedday, by the exercise of almost superhuman strength, saved himself from being thrown overboard until a group of Malay sailors went to his assistance with belaying plan and crushed the armed animal's skull. --- A colored Lan calling himself, "Captain John R.

The novelty of the trip enabled me to enjoy it the home. That afternoon late I walked up and down the beach taking for the first time upon the Atlantic Ocean Many years previous to that while studying geography at a coimtry school the desire was planted in my mind to see one of the oceans. As I looked out upon the snow capped billows of the mighty deep my mind drifted back to the time when I was quite young. The one thing I never will forget is that one day while, leaming upon my grandmother I mentioned to her what I would like to own "the world. She listened attentively to what I had to say and when I had finished she said "My son, first seek ye the kingdom of Heaven and its righteousness, then all of these things you so much desire will be given you by our Heavenly Father." I took her advice and found every word to be true. I went down to the beach early morning when no one was seen but the lone fisherman. I carefully watched them place their fishing tackles in the boat and paddle off from the shore. I stood there until they hid themselves behind the waves. There are anxious wives and mothers who will watch for them at the close of the day thought I. One Saturday night under a clear sky I left my boarding place and sat down by the seaside. In the darkness of the night I saw the light of storms as they gilded over the bosom of that great commercial "stream." Doubtless many of those sailing Northward were loaded with fruit from the pearl of the Antillean, teas and spices from the far east or manufactured articles from Europe. While the cargo of those steering Eastward may have consisted of agricultural products from the Mississippi valley or tolls of the Middle Atlantic States. Then again one of them likely to have had on board a minister plumpingiment to a foreign host or a missionary to heathen Miraa. It was new growth 'the only here and there a light could be in the Village. These rosette waves continued to crumble at my feet while the picture of the building of the first Neroses at Jame's own vaults before me. They wasn't a sound to be heard except the ocean waves as they kissed each other at the water's edge. .

A young man having visited her fell deeply in love with her. Two weeks later another young man came to her home and fell deeper in love than the first. But he was told that his affection for her was too strong to nothing as she really thought a great deal of John. Lover number two was not to be discouraged, but prepared for the conflict. He said there is no gain without pain. At last he married the young lady. Lover number two visited the home of this young lady to win. We are all here to win. On a certain occasion I visited the Treasury Department at Washington and shook hands with the Assistant Treasurer. He said, "Mr. Webster I am very glad to meet you. You have a Southern expression on your face." I tried to win the confidence and host wished of the distin guished gentleman. The Apostle Paul won in this world and gained an entrance into the New Jerusalem. In the conflict between the righteous and unrighteous Christ won a signal victory. Let each one of us examine our foundation and see if it will do to build life's structure upon. Each may expect disappointment. While at the railroad station during the week I met a young man who had a beautiful basket filled with red mellow apples, shaded with a lovely bunch of flowers. He was asked for what purpose did he bring them. With a youthful smile on his face he looked at us and said, "I am looking for a young lady on the northbound train this morning and I brought this basket of fruit and flowers to great joy on the plane." But I asked the young man to step to the board with me that we might see how his train was marked. I pointed to train No. 80, northbound (on the board) and read under the space time of arrival, the word, indelinite.

From New York the Progressive Party and the Negro - Aftermath of the Chicago Convention - How the Exclusion of Negro delegates and the adoption of the Lily-White Policy causes great sensation in American politics - Negro excluded from the Progressive Party in the city where the great Lincoln spoke out against American prejudice. Albany National News Bureau 252 West 53rd Street The Progressive Convention, which terminated at Chicago August 15, 1912 was notable for its fight upon the matter of Negro rights. Every other policy as inaugurated by the new party was outlined in advance. Every principle upon which it was based had been decided in advance. The Progressive leader dispensed by the action of the Republican Party at Chicago determined that a new party should be formed dedicated with high sounding phrases such as the equality of all citizens, social justice, and other motives that would appeal to the country. A number of Negro citizens immediately decided to enter into the plans and formation of this new party. Particularly was this true of a number of Negro delegates to the Republican National Convention who had bolstered the popular organization of their States and supported Col. Roscoe in the Republican National Convention such as Perry W. Hickard, Daniel W. Gatley William Loever of Mississippi, Win P. Andrews, Baytter and Wilson of South Carolina and other organized delegates from South Carolina and many others in the Southern and Northern states. Howeverly when he was defeated for that nomination the cat of their betters with the Pronceaux both and endowed it to the South center the next party. They were however, not with deletion of the like 8.8. Pronceaux reincarnate of Mosteage, who is primarily his all rejected to all when /hamp of not many attire to assemble to hold a Cohort. We were not at any Ness. In center the first three, but the last to go to the home that he added on when it is done and before were in the last of many. For some the role behind many of the service process. In the back of the new statement is that it is. Bert White, Group I, N.P. of home that Col. of the group with who has been selected the city were a public of the Southern state. The Northeast and liberal white voters of the South oppose the Col. Riverside poll attitud in the Northeast, opposed these States thoroughly and sent regular delegates to the convention compound of white Progressive leaders of the South. Those delegates from the states of Mississippi South Carolina Texas Virginia Georgia Florida and Alabama were thrown out by the Committee on Credentials. It was decided to make the party a white man's party in the South absolutely to the endeavor to catch the white Southern vote. To minimize this effect, however, Colonel Roosevelt gave personal instruction to a number of Northern States to add a Negro delegate, or two to hold the colored vote of the North and that a plank would be put in the platform which would be satisfactory to the Northern colored voters. After the decision to exclude the Negro delegates from the convention it was decided by a number of the Negro's friends in the Convention to put the party on record as giving him some recognition. A number of the Negro friends led by Prof. J. E. Springgain, chairman of the New York branch of the national Association for the Advancement of Colored People advocated the adoption of this resolution: "The National Progressive Party recognizes that distinction of race or slain in political life has no place in a Democracy. Especially does the party realize that a group of ten million people who have in a generation changed from a slave to a free labor system, re-established family life, accumulated a billion dollars of real property including ten million acres of land and reduced their illiteracy from eighty to thirty percent. deserve and must have justice and a voice in their government. The National Progressive Party therefore assures the Americans of THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. African descent of its deepest interest in his welfare, and in the gradual growth of his political power." Emboldened however by their success in throwing out all the Southern and elected delegates to the Convention the Southern phalanx declared that the Progressive Party must not record one sentiment in favor of the Negro, but must go on record nationally as a white man's party. Cool Lyons, the great Jilly white leader of the South who was defeated in his efforts to Jim Crow the Negro in the Republican Party in Texas by Hen. William McDonald the worthy successor of Wright Cuney, said: "I presume we will have to stand for these Northern Negroes this time in order to get in" but John N. Parker of New Orleans said: "If the is not a white man's party Louisiana withdraws," and Fridhoe of Mississippi in busy activities raising the old Democratic city of Negro domination said: Negro domination always ends in hibernation I never These and other similar opinions on once precipitated a flight in the convention. Mrs Jane Addams of Chicago Prof J. J. Spinkarn of New York Prof Hays of Cornell. Mr Halden of Minnesota and other Negro pathologists of justice for the Negro demanded that we receive a separate deal from the Convention. Miss Addams said "I believe that our party should adopt a sound and consistent attitude in reference to the rights of the ten million Negroes of his country. What may we believe when we read in one column of a newspaper that the Negro has been discriminated against, and in another that our party is founded on the equality of all." We may not place this party in the position of taking from the Negro the right of citizenship given him by the Civil War. We realize there must be a balance of power in the South but we must consider our attitude carefully in view of our declaration of the equality of mankind. Attorney Perry W. Howard, a national delegate elected to both the National Republican and Progressive Conventions from his state said "Am I to go back home and tell my children I was disfranchised by the party on the city and almost across the state where Abraham Lincoln fifty years ago made the fight which led to our enfranchisement? I had been given to understand and so had all of my race that this was a big humanitarian movement for the rights of all irrespective of race, color or race." The battle was totally drawn and resulted in a clear victory for the Southern forces. Their persistence efforts even prevented the Spinnaker resolution being adopted by the New York State delegation of which he was a member. The resolution was laid on the table because the allowed policy was to do nothing that was not in keeping with the demand of the Southerners to have withdrawn "the Crow" party. So eminent was this Southern crowd in their victory that they demanded that General McBowell of the Confederate Veterans of Tennessee be allowed to second the Roosevelt nomination and that this man who had waged bloody war for four years to keep the Negro enlisted and to separate this nation was made the greatest hero of the Progressive Convention while the band played "DWLS." The Negro voters of the North have never have been in solid, platyan the defense of the rights of their teachers in the South. They have declared that there be no need for other national Party. Growing every day the first on early they were, and that a party that attended to the process in the North, had never in the South or the North reaction to the National in the North and later to the Negotiation which of the North. Not not enough the part of the National were wanted. The states are certified. It is for no other part in the United States to the country to build up to the National Party to be a part of the nation. The station will not be open for the procedure of the country.

A little freezing does not necessarily hurt them if they are not exposed to frequent freezing and thawing. Cash From Waste. As soon as possible after the small grain is harvested turn the stock into the fields to glean the waste grain and clean up the fouce rows. A part of the money the land has produced still remains in the field after the grain has been harvested and removed. Animals can make available cash out of the waste crops. Got It on the Land: There is no month in the year when manure cannot be hauled and scattered on the fields to advantage. It is better on the land than in the stables and lots. With the Feathered Folk. Lack of grit, overfeeding and idleness cause liver trouble. When alfalfa or clover hay is stored in the barn it will be easy to gather a quantity of the leaves that shatter off, and these are prime feed for all classes of poultry. Dry feed has no place in the duck diet. Four parts wheat bran, oile part cornmeal and enough low grade flour added to bind the mass without making it pasty, about 5 per cent. sharp grit moistened with just enough water to be crumbly, is a good ration. After the first few days a little soaked beef-brap may be added, though not necessary if the feed is moistened with milk. Scaly legs in fowls are caused by a mite which finds its way under the scale and causes the legs to become diseased, rough and painful. These mites cannot survive grasse or oil. The remedy is the application of elther. Kermene will move the effect of destroying the natural color of the legs. The use of lard, meat fryings or velline will do the work—Kauan Farmer.

Dear Sirs:—I am writing to ask you to favor me with the names and addresses of as many respectable colo- red 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. Admit others who may be interested, to write me at once. Thanking you in advance, I am. Yours faithfully. Do You Know Him?
