THE SOUTHERN SITUATION WORKING ITSELF OUT WELL HE SAID. Democrats Urged in Lexington, Kentucky, Speech to Lay Aside the Old Questions of the Blacks and to Vote The Republican Ticket. Lexingon, Ky., Aug. 22—With a discussion of the race problem general political issue from the Southern standpoint, and an appeal to Kentuckians and other Southerners to come to the Republican party in support of those principles which he believed they favored, the Secretary of War, W. H. Taft, opened the Republican state campaign in this city today. Calling attention to what he called the South's lack of representation in the council of the nation, he declared that this was true because one single issue has made it the perpetual tail of the Democratic party so that how'er small the Northern head it wags that tail. The South has permitted the shadows of an issue that circumstances ought long ago to have removed from political controversy to bind its solidity to the Democratic party no matter what principals or candidates the party has adopted. FORCED BY THE RACE ISSUE The secretary called attention to the prosperity of Kentucky's developing industries and agricultural wealth and expressed the belief that many Kentuckians who favored protective tariff had blindly voted the Democrat ticket because of the feeling on the race issue. Then taking up the race question he said: "I know that the discussion by a Northern man of this question is apt to arouse on the part of the Southern Democrats the objection that he does not understand the Republicanism in Kentucky Secretary Taft was correct in saying, in his Lexington address that Kentucky ought come over to the Republicans this year. The secretary pointed out that the "Race Issue" is the only thing that keeps Kentucky out of the Republican party, and the "Race Issue" should, at this late day, have no part in that state's politics. Out of Kentueky's aggregate population the blacks form only 13 per cent. This is too small a proportion to frighten even the most timid of the Bourbons. The "Race Domination" cry, if raised in Kentucky now, world excite the jeers of the entire country. There is an excellent chance that the black man will have a smaller place in the politics of Kentucky in 1907 than he has had since emancipation. So far as the country has heard, the Negroes are not evincing any special interest, as a race, in this year state canvass. They are apparently dividing between the two parties, and are thus disarming the hostility which has been held against them by the Democrats hitherto. This is the wise policy for the black men to pursue. The "Race Issue" has no necessary place in the political affairs today. When, as appears now to be the case to a large extent, many of the Negroes of the border states are drifting over to the question; that he does not know the difficulties of it, and that if he can't take it it up with sympathy for the attitude for the white man of the South he better not take it up at all. On the other hand, he is liable to encounter the criticism of the colored men who, with a natural sensitiveness and interest in their race remembering the wrongs and oppression to which theirs has been in times past subjected, resents on the part of the Northern man any attitude which does not involve condemnation of the attitude of the Southern white man or which manifest the slightest considerafor his views. LOOK FOR GOOD RESULTS "I am not a pessimist with respects the race question. I am convinced that it is working itself out and I am convinced that nothing has so much contributed to its gradual solution as the thirteenth fourteenth and fifteenth amendments." Mr. Taft discussed the provisions of the first and second of these and called attention to the development of the people starting with the greatest illiteracy and ignorance until they become self-sustaining, giving much praise to Booker T. Washington and others who urged "the wisdom of making provision for the education, manual and industrial, for the benefit of the great bulk of the race. K. C. TIMES. Democrats, there is no longer any excuse for their exclusion from the polls or for the perpetuation of the Negro bogev. Kentucky has a fairly good chance to be carried by the Republican ticket, from governor downward, is personally strong. Every man on it stands high socially in his community. In ability, it will bear comparison not only with the present Democratic ticket but any ticket which the Democrats have had in that state in recent years. In Kentucky, however, as in some other Southern states, the battle is not always with the man who gets the most votes. Bradley's lead in 1895 was so marked that the Democrats who were in charge of the state's political machinery did not dare to attempt to set it aside. Taylor, another Republican, was elected in 1899, but this time the Democrats counted him out. Wilson, the Republican candidate in 1907, is an able and personally popular man, and the country has hopes that, under existing conditions, he will get elected and stay elected.

Let him be a man. If a Negro had, suggested to his race the necessity of dividing his vote, many of his race, moved by prejudice, would have desired to lynch him as a traitor. But, the advice comes to him from the leaders of the Republican Party, white men. Will he continue to act silly? Or may we hope to see him use a little common sease in his politics the same as he does business. —The Editor. A Negro Bank.

To look well and feel well, you must be well, Todo this, you must keep the mechanism of the body in perfect running order, A woman's constitution is far more intricate and delicate-smore easily injured and disaranged— than the mechanism of the finest watch, Yet no one would think of allowing a watch to get all out of order before repairing or clean ing it. How many young ladies there are, who pay no attention to the first symptoms of diseased ur- gans, Pain in the back, head, ab domen, right or left side and some times in the hips and lower limbs Tired and languid feeling in the mormag; worn out and distract- ed nerves, Jeading to across and petulant disposition, Natural col- lor fading from the check, tue bebe and luster from the eye, the once pleasant smile from the fa“ all these going or gone, What does it mean?

Monsieur Sulli’s Retirement By Mary CECIL MAY BencoscoooTeSeSoqSeNeR A email, old-fashioned _ cottage, where «’ woman sits working if the porch. A alight, pale woman, wearing & Widow's cap upon her smooth brown hair, but with such a look of love and longing on her face that she too has ‘& beauty which it is good to look upon. As she sits there alone, Mary Sulll- van is dreaming the old dreams which have cheered her through her ten years of widowhood—bright but never impossible dreams of the future of her only son. From the porch where Mary sits she can catch a glinfpss, through the trees, of the rcad along which the stage coach daily passes. This spot she ts watching eagerly, and when the four horses come within eight at last, she drops her knitting and rises. How her face brightens when bo comes at last, “Mothor!"~ “Oh, Davy, Davy!” The greetings burst from the hearts of both in that first moment. “Four whole weeks of idleness, and of home, and of you, mother,” David says. “It seems too good to be true.” “But you like school, Davy?” Mrs. Sullivan asks, wistfully. “You are happy there?” “Happy? Oh, yes, and getting on capitally, Of course I try to do that, mother, as grandfather urged {t 90 when he condescended to put me to this school.” “This education is a great help, Davy. You will bo 17 when you leave the college, and clever and able to do anything.” “Anything — everything, mother,” asserts the boy, softly drawing her arm about his neck. “I shall be: a man, and you shall never want any: thing again. You shall have a large ‘ If ’ ee Ee eee ee ee ee eT Seen house and garden, and I shall come home to you every evening froth my office, where I shall earn the money, you know. It must be near London, because men don't get rich except in London, I expect.” “And what do the masters say of you, Davy?” : “That I am the best arithmeticlan in the school,” the boy says, laughing, “and best (for my age) in one or two other things, But, mother, I beat every fellow—older or younger—hol- low at gymnastics.” é “What are they?” asks Mary, won- dering. But though David explains at length, her idea of the aclence is only & little less vague when he finishes than {t had been when he began. A long absence follows; another bright home-coming (on a frosty Christmas evening now); another ab- sence; and s0 on, and on, and on; un til David comes home from school for the last time of all. “And now I am ready to make my own start in the world. But I must go at once. One delicious day with you here, then for London! Don't look #0 sad, my mother; this shall not be a Jong separation—not even so long as the old school terms, for I will soon come back to fetch you.” After David's departure, the days pass for Mra, Sullivan just as the old schooldays have done, except that now she has a daily excitement in his letters, At last one letter comes in which he telis her he has found employment 1n an accountant's ofice—employment which is very easy to him, and which he kes, though the salary he fs ta receive is a much smaller one than he had anticipated when he,so hope tally began his search, ‘When he has been absent for year, he comes home to spend his birthday with his mother—a summer day which they have spent together for all.the 18 years of David's life Then he goes back to bis work, ail! hopeful of the rise which bis earnes! and untiring servitude {s to win, ‘Six months pass, and then, one day David's letter brings Joyful tidings ‘The long-talked-of home will be read) soon, for he is earning a high salary now, and all the old bright plans ar to be carried out. David had sald that he would spent his birthday at home—that June da; which has always been the one boll day of the year to his widowed mothe but on the morning before arrive @ letter which tells ber that be 1 obliged to delay his coming. Londo: fo very full, he says, and he is ver agri; 90 he must give up that dey’ Brows Ceactiptions Of the home ‘Waren 1s all ready for her now out tn one of the pleasant northern. subarbe. ‘They blot out eved that simple ° re quest at the end—"Think of me more than ever tomorrow, mother, an@ bray for me just at nightfall; at thet Very hour when we have been used to Sit together in the porch om other happy birthday nights.” There is the present of money which most letters bring her ow, snd (t is while she holds this tn her hand that she forms a sudden resolution; and it comes to her at that moment 3s 80 natural a one that she wonders where ft has been hidden before, Qavid ts working very bard, and ts to be loncly on his birthday, How can she botter use.his gift to her than by tiving tim a pleasure he cannot ex- pect, and so prevent his belag eqlitary om that day which they have never yet spent apart? As he cannot come home to her, she will go to him. Ab, how his face will brighten when he sees his mother come in! How he qill start up with outatretched arms to clasp her! ‘That moment will. re- pay her for any trouble she may have in reaching him . It 1s & long journey, but the antic pation of David's delight at seeing her shortens and beautifies the way. And this is London—this line of streets, and crowd of people, and deafening sound of wheels! Poor Davy! How he must long for the quiet shady lanes, and the fresh breeze coming inland from the seat She takes a cab from the depot and Mary Sullivan stands with beatin heart at the door of a tall, narrow houso in Farringdon street, and rings the bell faintly, She waits what she thinks a long, long time before 9 young man appears in answer to her modest summons and her inquiry for David Sullivan. “Monsieur Sullt—Sullivan?” the young man questions. laughing a little ‘as he glances into the face of the country-bred yet delicate-looking wo- man who stands holding her basket 80 closely to her side. Yes, he knows He witl take her to him. What 0 gay, grand place this fs, with lights Hke suns and stara upon the ceiling, so far up, so very, very far up! Why, the church at home {s not nearly so high as this room. But why fs it lighted yet? The June sunshine 4s laying brightly now upon the sea at home, and it must be light as day in the cottage rooms. What thousands of faces are gathered here, all looking ‘one way, too, all looking at the doot which she had been bidden to watch Are they watching for David too? Suddenly a band begins to play: and—pusaled more and more—Mary tarns her eyes from the spot she watching so intently. David has neve: told her about this music, and thes Nights, and this great lofty room, ant the watehing crowd.
