We wish, however, first of all, to gratefully acknowledge the breadth of vision and liberality in the expenditure of money which have marked the attitude of the board to our Colored schools, and because you have thus won our profound esteem and gratitude and confidence, we are encouraged to approach you now on the matter of the present location of the Sumner high school, believing you will give our appeal at least serious attention. Firstly, the location and surroundings of the school are bad. There is no approach to the school except along avenues lined with demoralizing establishments—saloons and questionable houses. Being not far from the Union station, there is within a radius of five or six blocks from the school a congestion of drinking places and pool rooms. Our daughters as they go to and from the school are exposed daily to the solicitations of the vile characters gathered about these centers of vice. Sumner is the only school of higher learning of any kind open to Colored youth in all this section of the state of Missouri. From its walls must pass, according to the rules of your board, all the teachers of our youth in the various grammar schools of the city. Surely as it is the best and highest school that the more thany fifty thousand Colored people have in this city, it ought to be an inspiration and a strong uplift in its very appearance and situation. Everything within the school and all its externals should aim at exalting the moral and intellectual ideals of the youth who are in training to instruct the minds and to mold the characters of others. Our youth, gentlemen, need not only a thorough mental training, but, like all others, they need moral culture and inspiration and refinement of manners, and the high school ought to be a potent force in these directions. Secondly, the neighborhood of the Sumner high school is coming rapidly to be a business center. Already three large factories are within a stone's throw of the school's doors. The Colored population, though widely scattered throughout the city, is for the most part trending westward. The thousands of dollars which you plan to spend upon Sumner in the near future will fix it for many years to come where it is, down amid wholesale business houses, factories, saloons, discredited tenements, and remote from those upbooking families of our people whose children as a rule attend the high school. In this connection it may be asked: "In view of the thousands of dollars which the board has spent on Sumner school, would not the change at this time entail great expense upon the city, and needlessly so?" Will you allow us to suggest, gentlemen, that the present site of the school, while not desirable for the purpose of a normal high school, is no doubt suit- THE MUSEUM OF THE WEST taken by the citizens in the general welfare of the school; and to better acquaint them with special features of the work that, through the generosity of the legislature and board of regents, of which the Hon. D. C. McChung is president, have been added from time to time. No higher proof of corresponding esteem, respect and approval, could have been given by these citizens than was shown by their presence at an early nt .... Alw 2337 ed to, and would be sought for, other purposes. It is probable, quite a certainty, that a large sum of money could be realized from the sale of this property. But if in the change a few thousand dollars should be sacrificed in securing for our youth larger moral and inspirational results, would not that money thus lost be in a way well spent? We believe, gentlemen, judging from your plans to splendidly improve Summer high school that you are working for the best results in the education of our youth. It occurs to us, therefore, that possibly the feature of location has not before been brought to your attention. May we ask: Is not the above suggestion in line with the truest economy? The immense sum of money which you plan to spend upon Sumner school where it is now located, will be invested in a neighborhood which, for the site of such school, is sure to grow worse and worse—lessening more and more the value of the money spent for education. In conclusion may we further ask: Is not the keeping of the Sumner high school where it is contrary to the general policy of the board as regards the high schools in the city? Summer in its present location suffers, to say the least, in comparison with the Central high or the McKinley high, where the poorest and humblest of all other races may attend. The very sight of those schools enmoble, inspire and quicker the imagination and aspirations of youth. The atmosphere of any school is a potent factor for good or evil. Now we ask for our own boys and girls and the future teachers of our youth (who so largely shape the destiny of our community), what the liberal spirit of St. Louis as regards the education of all her children suggests and warrants. We are encouraged to believe that the policy of the board for the training of the future citizens of the city is not only broadly paternal, but impartially so; and that any reasonable proposition will be considered by you upon its own merit. In making this appeal, gentlemen, allow us to assure you again that we would not even seem to be dictating to you or wanting in appreciation of what you have done for our schools. But your splendid work in the past, the great improvements which you have made upon L'Quverture and other schools for our youth last year, together with the extensive addition which you now contemplate at Summer, have only led us to strive and hope for the best culture, both of mind and morals. We are sure that at least you will appreciate our desire, as parents, to see Sumner high, the best school we have in all this section, representing in her location, appearance, appointments and teaching force all that is true, all that is beautiful and all that is good. If a committee of your body is appointed to consider this overture, may a committee from among the undersigned have the privilege of meetings that committee. Very respectfully, CHAS. H. DODGE, Chairman. JOHN E. MWERTER, Sec. REV. WM. D. COOK. REV. GEO. E. STEVENS. DR. J. W. McCLELLAN. DR. WM. H. MANSIFEE.

Thirteen were rescued from the sinking vessel by the Leyland line steamer Bostonian, bound from Manchester to Boston, and by 11 by the German tank steamer Mannheim, Rotterdam for New York. Five others who had been drawn down in the vortex into which the British King was engulfed were picked up by the Bostonian from a frail bit of wreckage which they had grasped after a desperate struggle for life in the whirlpool. The Bostonian arrived here Wednesday afternoon. Capt James O'Hagan of the British King died on board the Bostonian from the effects of terrible injuries sustained. The rescued who were brought here include James Lanigan, the second officer; J. D. Crawford, the chief engineer; Adolphus Beck, the fourth engineer, and William J. Curry, the steward. The others were coal passers and sailors, mostly Belgians, and one stowaway, Henry Parkotch, of New York. Two life boats from the Bostonian were crushed to fragments, and the volunteer crews which manned them were thrown into the high running seas while engaged in the work of rescue, but all were safely landed on board the steamer. FOUR THOUSAND SHORTAGE Developments In the Investigation of the Affairs of the Centerview (Mo.) Bank. Centerview, Mo.—The official investigation of the accounts of the Bank of Centerview does not bear out the opinion expressed, Tuesday, that there would be no shortage. Cashier Delaney has not returned, therefore Exanier Burkhardt concluded to open the safe and took into its contents. An expert brought from Kansas City opened the safe Wednesday afternoon, and the cash inside was found $2,000 less than the books required it to be. This, added to a discrepancy of $2,000 in the county funds on the books, makes a shortage of $4,000. Cashier Delaney, before his disappearance, was one of the most prominent and respected men in Johnson county. His family is still here. His personal estate was estimated at about $60,000. He was interested in several business enterprises of Centerview and was curator of a number of trust funds and guardian of a number of minors with inheritances. There is a growing belief that when Delaney left, Sunday, he had no intention of returning immediately, and further developments are anxiously awaited. HE PAID FOR PROTECTION At Least That is the Story the St. Louis Grand Jury Will Probe in the Alfred W. Syrett Case. St. Louis.—Specific charges that Alfred W. Syrett, former real estate promoter, now in jail on warrants charging him with embezzlement, paid large sums of money to a certain St. Louis police captain for protection while operating here, will be investigated by the grand jury. Circuit Attorney Sager, Wednesday, ordered that Syrett and a jail guard be brought before him, preparatory to giving their testimony to the grand jury. It is alleged that since Syrett was brought back from San Francisco a prisoner, the police captain sent to him by a mutual friend the following verbal message: "Stand pat: if you fail to stand pat, remember that I have six leaden bullets and a well-silled pistol, and I am recognized as a dead shot." The jail guard who is wanted as a grand jury witness is said to have overheard this message and to have told others about it. J.S.TENNENT,SR.,ARRESTED Head of a Failed Shoe Firm Charged With Obtaining Money Under False Pretenses. St. Louis.—Former President John H, Tennent, Sr., of the Tennent Shoe Co., which failed recently with liabilities more than $1,000,000 in excess of its assets, was arrested Wednesday at his home, 4140 Washington boulevard, on a bench warrant charging him with obtaining money under false pretenses and released on $5,000 bond. The charge which caused the issuance of the warrant is that a year ago Tennent borrowed $75,000 from the Franklin bank, giving the officials of the bank what purported to be a statement of the financial condition of the Tennent firm. This statement, it is charged, was incorrect in essential details. Aged Crank Slays Roommate. Franklin, Ind.—Wednesday, Thomas Darrrell, aged 75, an inmate of the Johnson county infirmary, killed his roommate, Cyrus Brown, aged 81, crushing his skull with a cuspidor. Darrrell saye he was told to do the deed by angels who appeared in a dream. Chauncey Depew In Seclusion. New York.—Senator Chaucey M. Depew is in seclusion in his home, 27 West Fifty-fourth street, where he is frequently visited by a physician. It is said the senator will soon go to Europe and remain indefinitely. CONFESSED TO FORGERIES TWO OF THE GANG UNDER ARREST IN CHICAGO CONFESS. They Had a Good Scheme, And It Worked Well and Fruitfully For a Time. Chicago.—Charles White, who was recently arrested in Dayton, O., and Jeff Davis and George Grant, who were also arrested on the charges of being members of a gang of forgers, were taken to the office of Police Inspector Lavin, Thursday, where Grant and White confessed their forgeries. Davis would not confess, and declared that he did not know either White or Grant. "The first job we did," said White, in his confession. "was worked on the Ohio Oil Co., at Marion, Montpelier and Hartford City, Ind. In these three places, Davis and I secured $1,400. Davis asked me to get a check from the office of the oil company, saying that it would be worth $50,000 spice to us if we could duplicate it. I got the check, and he made a duplicate. Then he asked me if I could pull the plug out of an oil tank in order to get some oil to smear on the check. I managed to do it, accidentally of course, several days later, and we wasted 750 barrels of oil so that Davis could get enough to rub on those checks. I was told by the company to pay for the oil or give up my job, and I quit." "Then we went to St. Louis, and we each got $11,000 out of the same kind of a job which we worked on the St. Louis car works. Then we went to Alton, where we made $3,000 on pay checks on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad. From there we went to Joliet, Ill, where we got $1,500, and from there we came to Chicago and, with the assistance of Mr. and Mrs. Longpre, Rosa Davis and Ralph Grant, we worked the duplicate pay check game on the Illinois Steel Co. at South Chicago for about $9,000." AN ALABAMA SENSATION Detective, Ventrilouquist and a Mule Secure a Confession of the Christmas Family Murder. Dothian, Ala.—Following upon the arrest, Wednesday, of Will Christmas, a son, and Walter Holland, a son-in-law, in connection with the triple murder of the Christmas family, new and sensational developments were brought to light. Thursday, through the medium of a detective, his assistant, a ventrilouquist, a superstitious negro and the negro's mule. The detective who has been at work on the case declared the whole mystery is solved. He has been near Cottonwood for several weeks hiding in the woods in the guise of an escaped murderer from Georgia, and hiring a negro to bring him his meals. He suspected the negro knew something of the crime, and with the aid of a concealed ventilatorist talked to the negro through a mule. The negro's superstition was aroused, and it is alleged he told the details of the murder to the mule. The arrest of Will Christmas and Walter Holland followed. The murder of the Christmas family was one of the most atrocious murders ever committed in this county. AN OMAHA MOB DISPERSED An Attempt to Have a Wholesale Lynching of Murderers Folled By Police. Omaha, Neb. — An abortive was made at one o'clock this (Friday) morning to secure a number of men charged with murder, who were supposed to be confined in the county jail, for the purpose of lynching them. Twelve men are now awaiting trial on charges of murder, most of them committed in connection with hold ups. Thursday evening Edmund Flury, a street car conductor, who was shot when his car was held up a few days ago, died, and the newspapers announced that three negroes, Clarence Gathright, Calvin Walm and Harry Clark had confessed the hold-up and shooting. Sheriff McDonald gave out the statement that none of the alleged murderers were in the jail, but at midnight a crowd began to gather at the jail and by 12:30 probably 2,000 persons surrounded the place. A demand was made for the prisoners, and when the sheriff refused to admit the mob, a telephone pole was brought and used for a battering ram. The outer door soon gave way, but at this moment a squad of 40 policemen came upon the scene and the mob quickly dispersed. JOSEPH NOLAN HYSTERICAL The Saloonkeeper Charged With the Murder of Heinz and Sennett, Raving in Jail. St. Louis.—Joseph Nolan, the saloonkeeper at Edwardsville Crossing, held for the murder of Fred Heinz and William Sennett, fishermen, whose gunshot-riddled bodies were found on the river bank six miles south of Alton, is hysterical and raving in the Edwardsville jail.

Y SALOON, NEGRO NEWSPAPERS OF THE UNITED STATES. We have tried hard to get the exact number of papers that are published by the Negroes of the United States, and their standing, from the best of and most reliable authority outside of what we have at our command. There are about 171 Negro newspapers published in the United States, and as near as we can count them, they are as follows: Alabama and Georgia, 15 each..... 30 Illinois and North Carolin, 12 each..... 24 Mississippi..... 14 Pennsylvania and Kentucky, 10 each 20 Texas..... 12 Missouri..... 9 Massachusetts, South Carolina and Florida, 6 each..... 18 Washington, D.

We have about 20 of them that last some- times a year. The whites are flooded down with them.

Ask your Postmaster, Banker, Express or Freight Agent or the Editor of this paper about us. If you order a pair of these tires, you will find that they will ride easier, run faster, wear better, last longer and look finer than any tire you have ever used or seen at any price.

To Introduce We Will Sell You a Sample Pair for Only with weekly white papers of this country. Our people have not as yet arrived to that point where they carefully appreciate a paper published by Negro men and women. We see German, Irish, French, Hebrew and Italian papers printed, and supported by that particular class of people, and yet the Negro can not fully understand why a Negro paper is published. We take it for a fact that the majority of Negro ladies and gentlemen read the white daily papers to get the news of the world, so when we read a paper published by French, German, Irish, Bohemian, Italian or Negro we get the news of that particular people, and they ought to be patronized. White people recognize their newspapers, magazines and other periodicals as the pivot on which their information is dispensed among the people. Newspapers mold sentiment for good or evil. Then the Negro inhabitants of this country should look to our people and the Negro papers to dispense news and information. Yet some of our best writers and publishers have had to give up, and go into other business, and the reason is because they were not supported. Thomas Fortune and Cooper are leaders in the journalistic world, and brilliant and first-class men have had to almost attempt to give up. WE LEAD OTHERS FOLLOW. The St. Louis Palladium has more subscribers than any other two Negro papers in the state of Missouri. We have more business men and women that advertise in The Palladium than any four Negro papers in the west. This is a new building that was erected for that purpose also a large room for rent over pool room.

The Best Missouri News St. Louis Banks Refuse Money. Of the $10,000,000 which Secretary Snow propheses shall be deposited in the national depositories of the country, $1,000,000 was allotted to St. Louis. Telegrams were sent to the five government depositories in St. Louis, offering them each $200,000 for deposit. The officials of the treasury department were much surprised to receive telegrams from two of the five banks in St. Louis expressing thanks at the offer, but declining it. Of the entire seven cities of the United States among which the deposit of $10,000,000 was to be made, St. Louis is the only one possessing banks of such strength and resources at this time that they were able to decline with thanks the offer of the secretary of the treasury, an offer which eastern banks have been pressing him to make for weeks. Laws Against Bigamy Valid. The supreme court in Jefferson City held to be constitutional the statute making it a felony for a man to live in Missouri with his second wife though he married her in another state, the first wife living and not being divorced. The state had appealed the case of James W. Stuart who was indicted for alleged bigamy in having married a second wife in Illinois without being divorced from his first. The indictment was quashed on his contention that the marriage was performed in another state. The supreme court ordered Stuart to be tried on a charge of bigamy. To Be Recruiting Rendezvous. Jefferson barracks is much interested in the plan of the war department officials to make the post a recruiting rendezvous. Non-commissioned officers of long service will be selected from the army at large by the secretary of war to drill the recruits. The bill, which has passed the house of representatives, further provides for a sergeant major for the depot, a first sergeant, five sergeants and six corporals for each of the recruit companies. Dr. Schweitzer to Leave University Dr. Paul Schweitzer, professor of agricultural chemistry in the University of Missouri, has tendered his resignation to become effective in June. Dr. Schweitzer has served the university 33 years. During his career at Columbia three different presidents have directed affairs at the university, the enrollment has increased from 482 to more than 2,000 and the number of buildings from five to 30. Returned to Save His Dogs. Fire which broke out in the business district of Ironton resulted in the death of William Christ, the destruction of four buildings and a property loss of $10,000. The Christ family lived above a bakery in which the fire started. Christ succeeded in saving his wife and two children and lost his life by going into the burning building in a vain attempt to save his two dogs. Dead Tramp Had Gold. The body of an unidentified tramp with $60 in gold on his person was discovered in the cow barn of Chris Hofman, more than a mile west of Kirkwood. The discovery was reported to Marshal Perley A. Secrest, and Coroner O. W. Koch of St. Louis county was notified. An inquest failed to reveal the man's identity. Must Stick to Life Insurance. Superintendent W. D. Vandiver of the state insurance department has rendered his decision in the case of the Columbian National Life Insurance company of Boston and allied companies. He holds that a life insurance company must do an insurance business and no other kind of business in this state. Lodge Sued for Alleged Clubbing. Walter B. Kendrick has instituted suit in the Greene county circuit court against the Modern Woodmen of America for $4,500 damages. He alleges that on February 23, 1906, during his initiation, he was struck on the back of the head with a club so hard as to require the assistance of a physician. A Pike Candidate Fell Dead. W. D. Sanders, candidate for treasurer of Pike county, fell dead on the street at Bowling Green from rheumatism of the heart. He had started to the train to begin his canvass for office. He was 75 years old and had been in Pike county politics for 40 years. Last Case Against Farris Dismissed Circuit Attorney Sager has nolle prossed the last case involving Former State Senator Frank Farris in the bribery charges growing out of the exposures in connection with the legislative acts of the general assembly of 1901. Investigating St. Joe Drug Stores. Judge B. J. Casteel, at the opening of the March term of the criminal court at St. Joseph, charged the grand jury to investigate the drug stores of the city and county with a view to ascertaining if they are selling liquor in any manner contrary to law. Louisiana Went Republican. The republicans won almost a clean sweep in the city election at Louisiana, electing mayor, constable, clerk, assessor, street commissiones, auditor and two councilmen. Fined for Attempted Bribery. In the Johnson county criminal court J. F. Corbin, charged with an attempt to bribe a juror and with perjury, was fined $500. W. C. Hyatt, father of the Hyatt boys, who were found guilty of the murder of young Martin, charged with attempt to bribe a jury, was fined $500. W. K. Mullins, against whom were four counts for attempted bribery and conspiracy, was fined $1,600. C. D. Wallace, a member of the jury and the man who first gave evidence, was fined $500 on a charge of conspiracy. Dr. John Fulkerson, against whom there is an indictment pending, charging him with attempted bribery, is out of the state and can not be located. The alleged bribery charges were in connection with the Hyatt murder trial. Child Killed While at Play. Edmond McGuire, the 7-year-old son of Mrs. Frank Tarrant, was almost instantly killed at Duenweg He was one of a group of children who were enjoying a romp during recess in the roadway just opposite the public school, and attempted to climb on a passing wagon heavily loaded with wood. His foot slipped and one of the hind wheels passed over his head. He was dead within a few minutes. The driver of the wagon did not know what had happened until an hour and a half afterwards, when he returned over the same road, the noise of the children at play having drowned the shout of horror which followed the accident to their playmate. Got Money After Twenty Years. The tenacity with which the government holds on to money belonging to someone else is illustrated by the case of Joseph Pickens of Neosho. Twenty years ago Pickens mailed about $300 in a registered letter. It never reached its destination. Officials of the postoffice department conducted an investigation, but obtained no trace of either money or letter. It compelled the mail carrier to make good the loss. The money was turned into the treasury and it has remained there ever since, although Pickens has made repeated efforts to get it. Recently the house passed a bill reimbursing him. Zinc Ore Tariff Helps. Zinc Ore Turm Helps. The recent ruling of the treasury department whereby a duty is placed upon zinc ores from Mexico, has had a splendid effect upon the lead and zinc mining industry of Missouri. Never before has there been so much activity in mining circles in south-west Missouri as at the present time. Ore prices continue high and the prices paid for labor are higher than ever known before. Men who shovel dirt into tubs in the mines are earning as high as $5 a day, with a corresponding high wage rate for all other work about the mines. Rich Hill to Have a Fair. At a meeting of the directors of the Rich Hill Fair Association, it was decided to hold an agricultural fair in September and to devote every energy toward making it an old fashioned farmers' fair. A race meeting will also be held in connection. It is a noticeable fact that towns all over Missouri are returning to the agricultural fair this year, as in most places where this feature has been dropped during the past two or three years the race meeting has been a failure. Capitalists offer to gravel about sixty miles of road in Lincoln county, provided the county court will grant the use of the roads and bridges. About $200,000 is back of the enterprise. The road will likely be built from Elsberg to Eolia by way of Foley, Old Monroe, Moscow Mills, Troy and Auburn. All the towns are in Lincoln county except Eolia, which is in Pike. An M. S. U. Curator Dead. Prof. Daniel A. McMillan, 58 years old, for 24 years superintendent of the public schools at Mexico, and a member of the board of curators of the Missouri state university, is dead at his home there. Prof. McMillan was a 32d degree Mason, a Shriner, Odd Fellow and a member of the B. P. O. Elks and of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity. Served 52 Years Without Vacation. John H. Raymond, in point of years of service was the oldest employee of the city of St. Louis, is dead. He was connected with the Industrial home for ten years, having been an instructor and for the past 42 years a bookkeeper. During the 52 years of service he never took a vacation. Hemorrhage caused his death. Unknown Man Killed by a Train. An unknown white man about 35 years old was killed by a Missouri Pacific train about two miles east of Berger.

Cleaves, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church (south) of Warrennsburg, has been tendered the presidency of the Methodist college in Morrisville, Polk county.

" 15 THE DUTY OF A NEWSPAPER. The manager of the Palladium has been most severely criticized for the persistence with which he publishes articles, displaying the corruptness of many of our so-called best (?) people. What some of our race desires is the "squashing" of any incident detrimental to its so-called leaders, because of the class to which they belong. The question arises as to the duty of a newspaper. The public gains its knowledge of the world through the columns of its newspapers and it expects truth from them. It is the height of injustice to cater to an individual, because of the class into which he has been fortunate enough to intrude himself. To a race attempting to climb the ladder of public's good opinion, and reach the pinacle of success in being recognized as a race worthy of a chance, the exposure of any person whose morals are not what they ought to be is just as essential as the removal of a rotten apple from a barrel of good ones. We expect more from our enlightened and educated people. We could excuse an immoral act on the part of an ignorant person on the plea of his ignorance. The Palladium is not seeking notoriety through scathing articles, it is simply trying to print the truth without consideration of class or favor. It has been in vogue since 1883, and the manager is too well versed in the laws of journalism to publish an article criticizing any person without proof of its authenticity. He knows whereof he speaks. Next week, the public will hear some more scathing news. Reporters of the Palladium are especially requested not to attempt to insert articles in the Palladium expressing a contradictory opinion concerning any person about whom the manager has published his opinion Should these articles be published it would subject the Palladium to great criticism and ridicule. A paper is expected to take but one stand on any question, and two articles expressing different opinions would be greatly inconsistent. Last week a mistake was made, in place the name of Dr. Wade, of Hot Springs, under the cut of "Alabama Tom," a former business man of our city. We hope the doctor will take no offense, as both gentlemen are good looking. Richard III. said, "The name of the king is a tower of strength." So is Olin, the Tailor, at 1244 Franklin avenue. He is in the field to stay, fight and win. See his ad among the advertisers. When long articles are sent to the Palladium by persons who have no connection with the paper—nor do they subscribe for it—we cast those articles in the waste basket. Easter is near at hand. Have Olin the Tailor, of 1244 Franklin avenue, furnish you with your new suit. He will more than please you. WANTED—Two unfurnished rooms in the vicinity of Pine and Market, Jefferson and Garrison, Apply at 2617 Lawton avenue. Sam, the Tailor, is the man that patronizes Negro business men, and our people ought to patronize him. 204 North Fourteenth street. Mr. Ferguson, the little Chicago man, has opened a restaurant at 113 North Fifteenth street. We anticipate home eating there. Call upon him. M. B. The Bluff City News, of Memphis, published an article defending Rev. J. W. Cook, who is now in St. Louis. The Palladium will keep an eye on Rev. Cook. The Palladium has grown used to bluffs. A Colored gentleman from Memphis looks just the same as one from Cairo, or Birmingham, or Natchez. When they come to St. Louis lah-de-dahing around, swelling up, and strolling around feeling bigger than the mayor of St. Louis, and are always talking about "Memphis! Memphis!" we have no hesitancy in We are not worried about a few mushrooms and the Negro preacher from Memphis—who are very much concerned about the position that the Palladium man has taken in the Ver- RIP SAW COLUMN OF THE ST. LOUIS PALLADIUM Two girls and a boy leave the Summer school and walk out Market to Jefferson, and their conduct puts the lowest class to shame. They stand on the northeast corner of Jefferson and Market as long as the police will let them, then ease along to Jefferson and Lawton, where their telephone operations begin. Their next hang-out is the Douglass hall skating rink, where they remain about twenty minutes. They then go north on Jefferson to Washington, and on the intermediate corners they meet various men and boys. One is a mulatto with a red dress on, with about 70 cents' worth of other clothes; the other a brown-skin girl with a gray coat having a black band on the left arm. The boy is a little, sawed-off coon with a New York overcoat. They make life miserable for decent girls and women. They ought to be in the house of correction. Who were the fellows in the Pullman service who got a 30-day lay-off for leaving the office 15 minutes before their time expired, to go to see the high school girls? What is the matter in the 2800 block, Walnut street. A young couple, recently married, are calling each other the vilest kind of names. They are now apart. Next week we will again speak of the yellow Negroes who are passing for white. We will take them off their feet. Telephones on the "home-from-school" route haven't been so busy during the past week. What's up? Now let some other saloonkeeper take his "ad." out of the paper. We WILL state the truth. Birds of a feather will flock together, in our estimation. AGENT. Mrs. W. M. Dickerson, of 2714 Lucas avenue, is agent for a book entitled, "Easy Steps For Little Feet." It treats upon the Bible from Genesis to Revelations. She is also agent for a number of other good books. Give her a call, 2714 Lucas avenue. THE PALLADIUM GIVES ITS READERS MORE NEWS THAN ALL THE OTHER RACE PAPERS PUBLISHED IN THE CITY AND STATE. Half a loaf is better than loafing all the time.

THE POLICE AND NEGRO ROUNDERS. --- For the past two months the Negro loafers, rounders and scoundrels have been plying their hellish work of decoying the unsophisticated schoolgirls in their net. Since Detective Gordon was dismissed these chaps have become bold, and they stand on the streets like hawks watching for their chance. We trust that Chief Desmond will put someone to watch and in due time to take them to the four courts. The only way that this can be ended is to take the girl and the man, or boy. We will give the names of the parties, and where they live. After school hours the sights can be seen from Fifteenth street to Jefferson avenue, and north of Jefferson avenue. All along the line the telephones are engaged by these upstart girls telephoning. We shall give the names of the different places. We ask the police force, for the good of our people, to give us some protection from these hoodlums, girls, boys, men and confidence women. Put some detective on the force who will rid our race of these evils. J. W. W. Last week a number of rounders, confidence men, lewd girls and women, who have not done a day's work for years, complained to one of our advertisers and said they did not think that he should advertise in the Palladium. This man told us of the incident, and said he would have to withdraw his "ad." The Palladium will redouble its efforts to point out this class of men and women. They have thrown down the challenge. All such men shall be reported to the Chief of Police. We will again call the attention of our readers to some of the tailors, Sam, the Tailor, your friend, who is undoubtedly one of the best in St. Louis. All the people go to him to have him make their summer suits. 204 North Fourteenth street. J. RUSSELL. S. SEXTON LOCAL 44, A. F. M. West End Music Store 2129 MARKET ST. Instruments Bought and Sold.

T. Vernon? Several weeks ago the president sent the name of W. T. Vernon to the senate to succeed that sedate gentleman, Judson Lyons, as register of the treasury. The senate committee has been holding up Prof. Vernon's appointment ever since it received his name, and now we are reliably informed that Vernon will not be confirmed. The senate committee has shown great wisdom in holding up the appointment of Vernon, and given his accusers a thorough hearing. The appointment of such an individual to such a high position would reflect seriously on the senate, and would cast putrid stealth upon the entire government. A few Negro journalists unacquainted with the facts in the Vernon case have been very loud in their preaching of the Kansan's cause, but the Palladium has stood out boldly against Mr. Vernon because we are entirely acquainted with the charges, and fully convinced as to their merit. Sometimes ago the Palladium started for Prof. Vernon, because we knew that he was not the proper man to head such an institution of learning as Quindo college. It was at this time that Prof. Vernon sent his plea to the editor of the Palladium—for mercy, and later coming to St. Louis, and almost on bended knees implored us to spare him. The Palladium does not do things by halves, for we have witnesses who will bear us out in every allegation. He will not deny that he wrote that plea for mercy, and in his own hand writing wherein his guilt is admitted. There is an undeniable tendency among the more intelligent Negroes to suppress such facts as will reflect upon the character of such of their race as may aspire for public favor. This is serious and dangerous. A bad man elevated to office becomes a worse man, for in his exalted position he can but feel immune from conviction—from conviction, for society has condoled his offense, and out of its apparent appreciation has elevated him. WILL ROOSEVELT HEAR HER. WILL ROOSEVELT HEAR HER. Will the president hear Emma Brown in the case of W. T. Vernon? Is it possible that the entire nation will turn a deaf ear to the pleadings of a reputable Negro woman? There is a tendency among the members of the Negro press and race to suppress such facts as will reflect upon such members of the race as may aspire for public honor or advancement. The Palladium man will not become a party to such methods. Big or little, we accord all men fair play, nothing more and nothing less. The woman in the case is known to be of respectable family and honest parentage, and despite what the big fellows have to say, she is entitled at least to the consideration of being heard. If a black man can put on the garb of a minister and attack with impunity the character of defenseless women then the Negroministry had better hide itself away to the tall uncut timbers of forgetfulness. In 1899 the Palladium made its first reference to the W. T. Vernon-Enma Brown affair, and it was at this time that W. T. Vernon wrote his famous plea to John W. Wheeler for mercy. John W. Wheeler still holds that important letter and will reproduce it at the proper time. After all man's reputation counts for little for is often only a mask behind which rest his true self in the character which constitutes the man proper. One Negro journal goes so far as to charge that the lady and her parents have tried to blackmail Prof. Vernon and obtain money from him. This is all bosh and the paper man who made the statement knows as much. If such were the case Prof. Vernon would have long since resorted to legal measures and thereby vendedicated himself. On the 11th day of October, 1899, Jno. W. Wheeler received a letter from W. T. Vernon, after having referred to the Emma Brown affair in the Palladium, of October 7, 1899, in which letter Mr. Vernon said, "For God's sake Wheeler do not ruin me, etc." Now if any man doubts these things let him ask W. T. Vernon, and it's the Palladium's life to a ginger snap that he will not deny these words. Right is right since God is God and right the day will win. We have no candidate for the registrieship. Any clean, honorable Negro will suit the Palladium. It is to be sincerely hoped that in the future when Negro journals enter into the defense of a man that they will know what they are talking about. IS W. T. VERNON THE MAN FOR JUDSON LYON'S MANTLE? The editor of the Palladium has never yet stooped to attack a man from a point of malice or personal grievance, and poor as the editor is he will pay fifty dollars to anyone who is able to prove that he has ever made an assertion which has was unable to substantiate with unrefutable evidence. We have no choice for Judson Lyons' mantle, but we believe that Prof. Vernon is not the man for the position. Prof. Vernon has acquired considerable reputation in the state of Kansas, and doubtless stands well with a number of politicians. The men who indented/ Prof. Vernon have based their endorsement on his reputation and ability as a politician. If these elements are the sole requisites for such an elevated position, then Prof. Vernon should be confirmed; but if on the other hand the president intends to adhere to his often-professed policy of appointing to office only Negroes of higher qualifications, then Prof. Vernon should not have been chosen. John W. Wheeler and the Palladium have no personal feeling against Prof. Vernon or favoritism for Judson Lyons, nor have we any candidate for the registrieship, but we do not propose to sit quietly by and see the president depart from his own established custom of selecting only men possessing all the needed qualifications. Years ago the editor of the Palladium asserted that President Cleveland had made a serious mistake in the appointment of C. H. J. Taylor as recorder for the District of Columbia. Mr. Taylor's record is too well known to be discussed. We also ventured the prophecy that Dr. Crossland was entirely too small for a United States minister. The truth of our assertion dawned upon the American public when the late John Hay, then secretary of state, was compelled to recall Dr. Crossland from Liberia. We live in Missouri, and have known Prof. Vernon for a good many years. We assert in fearless and unprejudiced words that W. T. Vernon is not the man for Lyons' mantle. The Palladium has the goods; we are from Missouri, and can show you if you wish to see. THE MEETING AT THE FIFTH BAPTIST CHURCH THE MEETING AT THE FIFTH BAPTIST CHURCH St. Louis. Feb. 26. 1906. At the Church Aid club of Fifth Baptist church a paper was read, February 4, by Miss Belle Brown. Subject: "That It Is Right to Play a Variety of Musical Instruments for Church Service." The subject caused much discussion pro and con by Reverends H. Irvin, L. C. Collins and others. W. L. Smith sustained the affirmative. In part, he said: "That mental darkness prevailed over this world from the sixth to the fourteenth century, which was perhaps due from the crucifixion of our Saviour. However, the world is just emerging from its dark gloom cf despondency into the marvelous light of knowledge, civilization and Christianity; therefore, the negative conviction upon this question can not be based upon other than weak judgment, ignorance and superstition, from the fact that it is in harmony with Scripture, natural laws and human reason. The principal words in this subject are right, music and variety, which lead us as follows: "Right, added to the term truth, constitutes that light which has been the guiding star in the old world to all that has been redeemed. "And if we accept the present as our nucleus, and look back as far as 2,400 years, then on pu the line of time through all ages for a thousand generations, we could see the _____ in variety from this light to all one and the same. "And if we could look into the future, on and on, until the end of time, in the channels of equity and justice, this light would still be shining, that all generations may see to enter Heaven and escape hell. And this light, linked to love and wisdom, constitutes the true character and nature of God Almighty, and with His quickening of spirit, as witnessed in our souls in addition to our knowledge of His great power as operative in variety, through the symbols in all nature, pictures to our mind that happy state of communistic love and organic unity. "And the second is the word music, which has for its origin the howling of the wind, and no man has ever known other in music than the greater the variety the sweeter the music. "And as to variety, any person with the least conception of moral judgment ought to know that our greatest happiness is due to the harmony of the greatest variety. For instance, God made the atom, the molecule, luminae and luminous either. He made levity, gravity, magnetism and electricity, heat, cold, light and darkness, all as essential varieties in the physical world that the air may be fit for man to breathe. He made 12 manners of fruit, 900 different species of fowl, 1,700 varieties of animals and 3,700 different species of fishes in the sea—so reads the Scriptures. And in this connection of mind and matter, we read through the nervous system that with their amplications He required 100,000,000 different Straus. And so various has He made the human mind that no man can tell what another man thinks. Therefore, as God has made for His own good and glory, variety as the domineering principle, it must be right for us to worship God with a variety of musical instruments, and to do it with all of our heart, soul, mind and strength." A. C. CUMMINGS. The paper for March 4 is: "Whether the lost sheep referred to in Scripture is a Christian or a sinner." Go to 113 North Fifteenth street, "The Cozy," to take your meals. We were surprised to see a half bushel of mashed potatoes, turnips, sweet potatoes, fruits of all kinds by the bushel, cooked and ready for use. Meats, such as roast pork, beef, turkey, chicken and all the pies you can mention, ready to make a hungry man happy. All these things are prepared in a small apartment by the little, Chicago man, who says: "When you eat at my place, it is just like eating at home." We are in receipt of a letter from the manager of "The Southern Sentiment," of Memphis, complimenting the Palladium for its exposure of the Negro preacher from Memphis. We are confident that our stand for right will always receive the support of all honorable men. "MAGNUM OPUS-- NAGNUM BONUM." "MAGNUM OPUS-- NAGNUM BONUM." Mr. Jas. W.

DEEP BREATHING HELPS.” Posture Has a Great Effect on Diges- tion and Breathing Capacity— ‘Value of Both “Really, there is Dut one disease—im- pure blood. By the practice of decp breathing exercises, proper bathing and diet, some more or. less vigorous sys- tematic exercise, and a return to regu- tar habits and hygienic living, theee av- enues of elimination may be again opened up to fully perform the duties belonging to them. In chronic cases, however, which are of long standing, something more may be necessary to arouse to action the organs at fault,” writes one of our conter:>raries. Physical culture is not a cure all. it does not pretend to cure every ailment under the sun, and there are cases time and again that the good physical trainer will refuse to take, save jointly with the patient’s physician, because some- thing more than physical culture is needed; and, again, there are other cases that demand rest rather than exercise. That posture has a most potent in- fluence upon your health in general, and your digestion and breathing ca- pacity in particular, it is important you should remember. ‘Thus, when weariness steals over you, busy dressmuker, do not allow yourself to droop forward, curving the spine, contracting the chest, and cramping the organs of digestion, warns Mme. Hebe. Try instead a quiet stretching exercise. Lift the head higher still, straighten the spine forcibly, hollow the back, and force the shoulders back end down several times in succession. Then dropping your needie for a sccond, place your hands on your shoulders and slowly stretch them upward till you feel the movement in every jont and even the fingers seem to grow and are conscious of it. Now, lifting high the chest, inhale deeply once or twice and with a final vigorous stretch return to your work, but do not let your spine curve again. Instead of bringing your nose down to your work raise the work and thus ayoid the dangerous habit of slouching. At night try gently bending the trunk backward, forward, and to the right and left, always. feeling the spine is stretched. A suction horizontal bar— placed securely between your door- jambs—is an excellent thing if discreet- ly used, for a few short hanging exer- cises before bedtime each night will be found to be wonderfully conducive toa quiet rest and often relieve the aching back and head most effectually. ‘These exercises should be followed by instant rest—flat on your back for at least ten minutes (and if you usually sleep without a pillow and on your back, you may find yourself in dreamland be- fore the time is up). One warning 1 must give here—ff you have any heart trouble omit the suspension work, as it may only aggravate your case and weak- en thg heart, but if- your heart 1s normal this Work will tend to strengthen it, and will prove most beneficial to the spine. FOR A SILVER WEDDING. Invitations May Be Engraved in Sil- ver, Appropriate Decorations—Sil- ver Bells and Bride Roses. For the invitations with Mr. and Mrs. John E. Beauk, “At Home” on the designated day, with the hour and the date or the original wedding in one corner and the present date in the other. If expense is no object, the proper thing would be to have the In- yitations engraved in silver. I should not put “no presents” In the cards, but tell a friend or two that you would rather not receive gifts and you may be sure that your wishes in the matter will become known. How- ever, at such a time, one’s friends are usually glad of the opportunity of showing their love and appreciation where a couple have lived long in the community. On all the silver dishes you possess to hold bon bons, salted nuts, etc., and wrap the bon bons in silyer paper to be obtained at the confectioners; also pretty silver cord with which to tie sandwiches and the place cards. Use white bride roses and sprinkle with diamond dust or a silvery pow- der that I think may be obtained at a druggists. If possible have an original poem read, and there may be toasts; also congratulations from friends distant. to be read at the table. After the recep- tion, music is enjoyable and you might have a programme of songs of 25 years ago. There is not much new in the way of refreshments; for such an af- fair I should serve chicken salad, nut sdndwiches, olives, coffee and” choco- late with whipped cream; and a fancy cream, ff possible in silver wetding bell forms, and have a “bride” and groom's cake. Over tho table suspend a cluster of allver bells, and there might be a large silver bell to stand under while receiving congratulations.

Effort to Extend the Scope and Use- <_<. The Boston Young Women’s Christ- ian association has received a visit of inquiry from Miss Bullis in behalf of Miss Grace Dodge, representing a new movement in New York for the ex- tension of travelers’ aid work. Ulti- mately it is expected that a national organization will be formed. This in- quiry has emphasized the fact that the Boston association is doing a larger work than any similar organization in the world, says the Christian World. The steamships from the Canadian provinces and from home and foreign ports are covered and when requested, the depots also. Several thousand ves- sels are met in the course of a year and numerous women and girls are guided to tneir destinations in Bostoa and vicinity, and in trips to near and distant states throughout the country. The protection afforded is said to be fot only a security to those aided and heir friends, but a guardianship against the designs of evil men and |institutions. ‘The travelers are fur- | aished lodgings and meals. When need- |2d their tickets are authenticated, | friends en route and on arrival at dee- ination are furnished. The work is regarded 2s a preventive, saving and resene work, incessantly needed. The Boston association is in receipt of numerous applications for trained or- ganizers and ‘teachers of the various departments of association work. These applications have come not only from diferent parts of our country, but from" foreign ‘and missionary lands. Several graduates of the de- partment of Christian work are said to be !aboring with success in foreign lands. Inquiries from England have led to publication in England of ac- counts of the work of the association's school of domestic science and Chris- tian work, and communications have been received which state that “no in- stitution of an exactly similar kind” exists in England, “yet the need for such an institution for girls of all classes who have left school is very great.” Residential colleges in con- nection with the various polytechnics and Young Women’s Christian asso- ciations are advocated in England.

Many a village was represented by a single new follower o: the cross. It was a delightful sight to look upon the sturdy peasants who had come from amidst persecutions. ‘They were eager to catch every word of prayer and speech that was spoken.

All Thinking Men Readily Recognize Its Advantages. "A horse is a valuable asset, and should receive the best care possible. He should be well fed, comfortably stabled, carefully groomed and clipped in the early spring. If he receives these attentions he will work well and improve in value. A horse lives under artificial conditions. In his wild state he required none of these attentions, for he was able to look out for himself. The domesticated animal, being worked under conditions that are in themselves artificial, must be kept in condition for such work. The clipping of a horse in the early spring is now conceded by all the leading veterinarians to be as essential to a horse's well being as shoeling him or giving him a comfortable bed to lie on. Farmers in England and France have been clipping their horses for many years, and American farmers are not slow to realize its advantages. A clipped horse dries out rapidly after a hard day's work, and will rest comfortably and be refreshed for the work the following day. An unclipped horse is liable to catch the heaves, pneumonia and all sorts of colds, rheumatism, etc. More especially is this so in the early spring, when his hair is long and he is "soft." If worked hard he will perseive freely and the moisture will be held by his long hair, and the food that should go to nourish him will be used to replenish the heat that is being constantly taken from his body by the mass of cold wet hair. If clipped, the perspiration will evaporate almost as soon as secreted, and when put in the stable he rests comfortably and his food does him good. Some years ago a Buffalo street car company tested the value of clipping in the following manner: They owned 500 horses, and 250 of these were clipped early in the spring and 250 were not clipped. A careful record was kept of results, and it was found that of the 250 unclipped horses 153 were afflicted with coughs and pneumonia, while of the 250 clipped not one case of sickness was reported. A man would not expect to enjoy very good health if he did hard manual work clothed with heavy underwear, a heavy suit and a fur overcoat, and after perspiring freely, as he naturally would, go to sleep without removing same. It is just as ridiculous to expect a horse to be in perfect health if worked under the same conditions. If you would get the best returns from your investment in your horse, treat him right, and be sure and clip him in the early spring A first-class horse-clipping machine can be bought at almost any hardware store for less than $7.00—Horse Review, Dec. 5th, 1905. France's imports last year amounted to $934,772,600, exports $952,344,800. In 1904, imports were $900,462,600, exports $890,191,200. Of the 646 steamers and sailing vessels lost last year England lost 208, America 110, Norway 60, Italy and Russia each 37, Japan 34, France 33, Sweden 31. During the late war the Japanese lost only 15,000 men from sickness, as compared with 57,000 from wounds; a proportion without parallel in the records of war. According to a recently published official statement, tetanus is extremely prevalent in Cuba, especially among infants. During the last five years over 25 per 1,000 of new-born infants have died of tetanus. Returns of the coal production in the departments of the Fas de Calals, and the Nord, France, comprising 25 collieries, show an increase on the year from 22,713,003 to 24,272,071 tons; coke from 1,543,343 to 1,772,785 tons; and patent fuel from 913,520 to 971,068 tons.

A New Jersey editor writes: "A long indulgence in improver food brought on a condition of nervous dyspepsia, nearly three years ago, so severe that I had to quit work entirely. I put myself on a strict regimen of Grape-Nuts food, with plenty of outdoor exercise and in a few months found my stomach so far restored that the process of digestion gave me pleasure instead of distress. "It also built up my strength so that I was able to resume my business, which is onerous, as I not only edit my own paper but also do a great deal of 'ou, side' writing." "I find that the Grape-Nuts diet enables me to write with greater vigor than ever before, and without the feeling of brain-fag with which I used to be troubled. As to bodily vigor—I can and do walk miles every day without fatigue—a few squares used to weary me before I began to live on Grape-Nuts! Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

(Director Biblical Department of the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago; Offi- (Copyright, 1906, by Joseph B. Bowles.) Golden Text: "And Jesus went about all Galilee teaching in their synagogues and preaching, the Gospel of the Kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness."—Matt. 4:23. Certainly no mistake can be made by making all the lessons of the quarter center around the person and work of Christ. Indeed the lessons for the entire year of 1906 are taken up solely with the life of our Lord as revealed in the first three gospel accounts. Christ as Saviour, Teacher, and Worker—as Saviour, in His relation to sinners, He is to be sought; as Teacher, in relation to disciples, He is to be obeyed and followed; as Worker, in His relation to the needy, He is the example of all to be followed in beneficence and philanthropy. Jesus as a Saviour. Jesus is the only man known in history who was born with specific reference to the sin of the human race. He was not a moralist, not a reformer, not a philanthropist, at least not primarily so; He came to be man's Saviour. Jesus did not come into the world to teach men how to live, nor how to die; He came to show them how to get rid of their sins. His name was the insignia of His office—"Jesus, for He shall save the people from their sins." The world has no other such Saviour: "Neither is their salvation in any other; for there is none other name given under heaven among me whereby we must be saved." A Divine-Human Saviour. Our lessons teach us the perfect equipment of Christ for such a work. He was a perfect man. He had a perfect human nature with all its sinless infirmities. He was born of a woman; He grew as other boys grow; He was subject to hunger, thirst, weariness, pain; He slept, cried, suffered, died. He was subjected to temptations just as we are, yet without yielding to them. If He was to be the Saviour of the human race, then "it behooved Him to be made in all things like unto His brethren." There is not a note in the great organ of our humanity which, when touched, does not produce a sympathetic response in the mighty range and scope of our Lord's being, saving the earring discord of sin. Jesus Was Divine. Not merely in the sense that we are all divine. He possessed a deity to which no mere human being could lay claim. We "become" sons of God (John 1:12). Jesus never "became" such; He always "was" the eternal and only-begotten Son of the Father. As a child He was "born;" but as a Son He was "given" (Isa. 9:6). His miraculous birth; His power to perform works which none other man did, save in a delegated power; His power over sickness, disease, demons, Satan, and death; His prescience, omniscience, omnipotence; His power over man to save, over demons to cast them out, over nature to control it—these are incontrovertible evidences of the deity of the Christ. And such a redeemer is God's appointed Saviour of the world. No man can come to the Father, gain an entrance into Heaven, spend an eternity of bliss with God, the angels, and the spirits of just men made perfect, unless it be through Him Who was "God manifest in the flesh." Christ as a Teacher. He was the greatest teacher the world has ever known. He was "the teacher come from God." He alone perfectly revealed the Father. His teaching was with absolute "authority, and not as the Scribes." Whatever may be said with reference to the voluntary limitations of Christ in other respects, it cannot, it must not be said that He was limited in His teaching. God "gave not the Spirit by measure unto Him" in this respect. His comments were not governed by popular opinions, but by direct revelation from the Father. Christ made no mistakes in His teaching. The disciples of Jesus Christ will therefore find in His word and teachings the ultimate authority in matters of faith and practice. When Jesus has spoken the last word on any question of faith or practice there is nothing more to be said on that subject. His words are the court of final appeal. They form our standard both here and hereafter —"the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day." It is because Jesus was God, divine, deity, that His words have this final and ultimate authority. We must not make the mistake many are making to-day—that of seeing in Jesus the greatest of all merely human teachers. he was that, and all of that; but He was more: He was divine wisdom incarnate. We must value the teaching because of the Christ Who taught, not value the Christ because of the teaching. Jesus as a Worker. Jesus Christ not only preached the Gospel; He lived it. He worked it. Words of love and deeds of love went hand in hand together. He preached the Word, He healed the sick. He came down from the pulpit and entered the hospital. Such was His whole life. He preached; He was beneficent; He was philanthropic. His own life was the best commentary on His preaching. And if the Christianity of to-day is to be known as the Christianity of Christ, it must be characterized by deeds as well as words.

"I feel it my duty to parents of other poor suffering babies to tell you what Cuticura has done for my little daughter. She broke out all over her-body with a humor, and we used everything recom-manded, but without results. I called in three doctors, but all claimed they could help her, but she continued to grow worse. Her body was a mass of sores, and her little face was being eaten away; her ears looked as if they would drop off. Neighbors advised me to get Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and before I had used half of the cake of Soap and box of Ointment the sores had all healed, and my little one's face and body were not without new-born baby's. I would not be without new-born baby's five dollars, instead of seventy-five cents. Mrs. George J. Steese, 701 Coburn St., Akron, Ohio."

M. Bishop Grant's Letter to the archbishop and his reply. In Archbishop John Ireland's speech of February 22, at Kansas City, Mo., to an audience of ten thousand, among other things, he said: "BE JUST TO THE NEGRO. "The Negro we have and must keep. Let it not be forgotten that the Negro did not come hither of his own accord. Our forefathers constrained him to emigrate from his African haunts to be their servant, their slave. Let it not be forgotten that the long servitude to which they had subjected him prevented him from growing in civilization, and aimed rather at reducing him to the low stages of animal life than uplifting him to the higher regions of spiritual thought and activity. Whatever difficulties there are in the Negro problem, we must say in all humility that they are of our own making. This is sufficient reason why we should bring to the solution of the problem good will and patience. The progress made by the Negro race since their emancipation forty years ago is the happiest of omens, and indicates that years will prove them to be fully worthy of confidence and esteem. Let Bishop Bishop Grant's Letter to the archbishop February 23, 1906. Most Reverend John Ireland, D. D., Archbishop, St. Paul, Minn.: My Dear Sir—It was my pleasure to listen to that magnificent address delivered by you in Convention hall February 22, at Kansas City, Mo., and I can not refrain from expressing to you my gratitude for the same. It seemed to me that the address covered every phase of American life, truly patriotic, a plea for justice, honesty, civic righteousness and the liberty to which all peoples under the American flag are entitled. When such men as Rev. Thomas Dixon, Gov. Vardaman of Mississippi, Gov. Davis of Arkansas, and Senator Tillman, of South Carolina, are making strenuous efforts to convince the world of the unworthiness of the Negro and his inability to accept and appreciate a higher civilization, your plea to an audience of ten thousand for justice and fair treatment to him came to my ear as a cooling spring to a thirsty soul. We have been waiting patiently for some time for one of the great men of our country, with national influence, to rise in the majesty of his manhood in the defense of a helpless people, and simply state the facts with reference DR. W. D. DESHAY DR. W. D. DESHAY Dr. W. D.

Use Pickett's Laxative Viburnum for Female Trouble. us be just to the Negro, according to him willingly the rights which the law guarantees to him, opening to him the avenues of industry and thrift, affording him all the facilities of education and self-uplifting; let the Negro on his part make allowances for the conditions of the present, unavoidable legacies of the past, and trust in the future, meanwhile so upbuilding himself in self-control, in culture of mind and heart, in social independence that his fellow-citizens must hold him in esteem—and the problem will have lost the asperities now seemingly in the way of a final solution. "Human society, under every form of government, is entering upon a period of unrest in its search of solutions for those economic problems which are called forth by the spread of education and the material and industrial progress of modern times. The liberty of discussion which our institutions allow, and the fact that the populations of the world are parts of our own, warn us that the agitation of these problems will be especially acute in the United States. Grant. and h's reply. to this contingent of Americans, give counsel and advice, and throw a new lustre upon the star of hope held out by President Roosevelt. Eternity alone will make known the good you are doing along the lines above indicated, and, on behalf of a grateful people, I thank you. Yours in Christian faith. ABRAHAM GRANT. St. Paul, Minn., Feb. 26, 1906. Right Rev. Dear Sir—I am glad that you were pleased with my lecture in Kansas City, and I thank you for your kind expressions of approval. In what I said of the Negro problem I simply spoke what my sense of justice demands and what my heart certainly desires. I believe that the solution of the Negro problem lies along the lines indicated by me—charity and patience both on the part of the white man and on the part of the black man. Men in influential positions, such as you, can do very much towards the solution by upbuilding the Negro race and calming the prejudices of the white race. Yours sincerely. JOHN IRELAND. Right Rev.
