HOUSE TO DEFEAT "JIM CROW"
BILL.
Republicans and Twelve Democrats
Promise to Vote Against It.
NEGRO ORATORS ARE HEARD.
Prayers Against Measure Offered
Over State as House Hears
Speeches.
Jefferson City, Feb. 14.—Leaders in
the house consider it certain that the
"Jim Crow" car bill will be defeated
when it comes up for passage by that
body. It is believed there will be not
one Republican vote for the measure.
The loss of 10 Democratic votes will
kill it, and there are said to be 12
Democratic members who have said
they would either vote against the bill

or not vote at all, which would amount to the same thing.
Prayers were offered in every Negro church in the state Wednesday night for the defeat of the bill, while the leading Negro educators and orators were protesting before the house committee on railroads against its passage.
The Negroes had a well-planned and cleverly executed program before the committee. There was not a word uttered which could possibly give offense to any white man. The speeches combined wit, eloquence and pathos, and were considered an eloquent plea for the Negro. The hall of the house of representatives was packed with members and Jefferson City citizens.
Nelson C. Crews, a well-known Republican campaign speaker, came on at the latter part of the program
and brought it to a close by having the eNGroes in the house sing "Nearear, My God, to Thee." The gallery was well crowded with Negro students of Lincoln Institute, the state school for Negroes at Jefferson City, and the song was a reminder of the old-time Negro camp meetings.
Many St. Louis Speakers.
The speakers were G. B. Vashon, a Democrat of St. Louis; Dr. C. T. Caston, Jefferson City; Prof. G. N. Grisham, principal of the Negro high school in Kansas City; Dr. George E. Stevens, St. Louis; Leon H. Jordan, Democrat, Kansas City; Rev. W. D. Cook, St. Louis; Dr. J. H. Garnett, Macon, Dr. Crossland, former United States minister to Liberia, St. Joseph, and Nelson C. Crews, Kansas City.
The speakers were unanimous in their statements that the Negroes had no thought or desire for social equality of the whites and the blacks, that the social gulf was a fact, and that no Negro hopes that the gulf will ever be bridged. Vashon said it would be an absolute impossibility to ever have social equality, and that Negro realizes that fact. Another point made was that the Negro has been only 42 years in reaching his present state of civilization, while other races had spent centuries in coming from ignorance to education and civilization.
The speakers said the white men of Missouri had done so much for the Negro in giving himb a school in which he could be educated, and that the passage of a "Jim Crow" bill would do more to degrade the Negro, wound him and hinder him in his advancement than many years could do in restoring him to the position already gained.—Post-Dispatch.
Bishop Grant, chairman, presided as if he were infallible. His every act was that of a man who had his race at heart and ruled by love.
Dr. George Stevens, pastor of Central Baptist church, made his appearance (as the attorney in the Thaw case applies the title to Jerome) as the learned district attorney. Dr. Stevens understands his business as a secretary.
Rev. G. H. Garnett and Mr. George B. Vashon were very good. They were very effective in reasoning from cause to effect.
Just before Hon. Nelson Crews spoke before the joint committee on the "Jim Crow" bill the Negroes joined in singing "Nearer, My God, to Thee." At the conclusion of the singing he spoke at some length. His speech and pathological reasoning were such as to cause tears to come of many white men and women's eyes. Prof. G. N. Grisham, of Kansas City, principal of a school, was very effective by his logical reasoning. Dr. W. D. Cook, the acknowledged pulpit orator, was at his best. Leon H. Jordan made a most affecting speech.
OPPOSING THE JIM CROW BILL
Citizens of Twelve Counties, Representing 17,000 Negroes.
Last Wednesday the representatives of twelve counties, or 17,000, when the Negroes are counted, went before the house committee and gave their reasons why such a bill as the "Jim Crow" bill should not pass the committee. They met at the church and selected their speakers to speak before the committee, with Bishop A. Grant chairman. The following well-known gentlemen spoke: Bishop A. Grant, Reverends George Stevens and W. D. Cook, J. T. Caston, J. H. Garnett, B. W. Stewart, Prof. Gressions and Messrs. Nelson Crews, Leon Jordan and George B. Vashon. The gentlemen spoke in the most conservative manner and pladed for the recognition of our race. The committee of the house, who had the bill in charge, treated the speakers with that marked attention which is so characteristic of our lawmakers. The capitol was crowded and all seemed to pay the utmost attention. After the speaking both Democrats and Republicans congratulated the representatives of our race and made them feel that all men were not against the race, although they were Democrats. We have all ways had the utmost confidence in
the brotherhood of mankind, and when the humanity of a man is touched he will turn to the right. Now that the representatives of the race have gotten together on the one important issue for the good of the race, let an organization be formed and perfected so that in 36 hours the representatives can be called together to consult for the good of the race. Let the power of right prevail, and we will have the approval of our God and the approbation of our own hearts.
W. S. Purcell, who is employed as usher at the Planters Hotel, was stricken with paralysis and was lying helpless in bed near the point of death. He could not move his feet and his stomach in such a dreadful condition that he could eat nothing, as it was impossible for him to keep anything he would eat down.
He tried the best doctors in St. Louis, finding no relief whatever. Mrs. Purcell having heard of the remarkable cures of Prof. J. D. Pole, Ma-Ha-Pa Jah, M. H., D. S. T., great French-Hindoo magnetic healer, magnetopah, electropath, vitalopath, who has his office at 3534 Olive street. She sent for him and he gave Mr. Purcell two treatments for his stomach and paralysis. The result was a permanent cure of the stomach trouble (he now being able to eat anything), and he can now walk any place he desires. He is now enjoying life and blessing the hours when the magnet healer entered his home. The editor of this paper, J. W. Wheeler, is personally acquainted with Mr. Purcell and we would have everyone who reads this article know that this remarkable cure is a positive fact; the editor having been informed by the party concerned (Mr. Purcell).
Another remarkable cure which surpasses all previous records is that of Eliza Bortner (Colored), who resides at 2220 Scott avenue, St. Louis. She was blind and had a goatre since childhood. She was cured in ten treatments. She had tried many doctors, both in and out of the city, but was not cured. She at last resorted to Prof. J. De Pole, who cured her permanently. These are only two of the many thousands of cases cured.
He guarantees to cure any chronic or so-called incurable diseases, which have been given up by other doctors, regardless of the length of time pending, by six different methods—magnetic healing, vital science, electricity, by the rays of the sun, by a machine (the only one in the United States), brought from Paris, France, and many other latest methods.
He cures blindness, deafness, rheumatism, appendicitis, gout, locomotorataxia, bronchitis, neuralgia, poor blood circulation, swollen joints, pain in back, lumbago, spinal diseases, gall stones, cancer, dyspepsia, stomach, head and brain, general delibility, liver complaint, constipation, catarrh and all diseases of the nervous system permanently cured without pain, surgery or medicine.
Greatest of modern times. Great Hindoo magnetic healer. Graduate of Royal College. Bombay; graduate of Metropolitan Institute of Science of New York; graduate Berlin Academy of Science, Berlin, Germany; postgraduate Scharcot Institute of Science, Paris, greatest in the world. Performs the most wonderful cures. Electro-magnetic human, and machine electricity and suggestion therapeutics. Has testimonials of wonderful cures from kings, princes, politicians, professionals, bankers and the most prominent business men in Europe and America. Educated, cultured gentleman, speaking eight different languages—English, German, Russian, Polish, Arabic, French, Turkish and Spanish. Telephone. Bell Lindell 2553.

British Teachers Visit Negro Schools.
Messrs. F. H. Hancock, of Bristol, and Philip Flower, of London, English teachers now visiting the schools of this city, spent part of a day inspecting the methods of L'Ouverture school, one of the largest Colored schools of the city. They were accompanied by Miss Mary J. Brady, the primary supervisor, and made special observations in the kindergarten performances and the work of the third, fourth, seventh and eighth grades. They were specially pleased with the singing of the Colored children.

Missouri Legislature
Gov. Folk issued a proclamation Monday offering a reward of $200 for the apprehension of Henry Boston, alias Henry Birdsong, charged with killing his wife in Polk county in June, 1903, and who has been a fugitive from justice ever since. The reward is good for a period of one year.
Representatives of express companies doing business in Missouri appeared before the railroad and warehouse commissioners Monday, having been cited to show cause why their rates should not be reduced. They asked for a postponement for 30 days, which the commissioners refused, stating that but 15 days' more time would be allowed. The attorneys for the companies refused to accept the ruling of the commissioners, and all left in a body, "bowing themselves out of court," as Chairman Knott of the railroad bureau expressed it, and no further hearing will be held.
HOUSE.
The house passed the following bills Monday afternoon, there being no fight on any of them but the one which provided that any five citizens might employ associate counsel for the prosecution in a criminal case, and that the prosecuting attorney should not be permitted to enter a nolle except with the consent of the associate counsel. The bill received only the constitutional vote required to pass the house. The other bills passed were: Sewer districts in cities of the third class; providing punishment for turning false alarm of fire; changing boundary lines in village school districts, making effective orders of board of railroad and warehouse commissioners from their promulgation until overruled or set aside by the courts.
The rest from Friday's session put the house bill mill back to its oldtime vigor, and 33 measures came in Monday afternoon, making the total number now 834. Among those introduced Monday afternoon was one by Representative Catlin of St. Louis authorizing cities which have a population of 100,000 or over to levy an additional tax of 5 cents on the $100 assessed valuation for constructing or acquiring subways.
Representative Noyes introduced a bill requiring persons who bring suits for injuries due to defective sidewalks to first give four months' notice of their intention to sue the municipal authorities.
Representative Barry introduced a bill making common carriers of news-gathering associations, and requiring them to give their service to all papers which apply therefor, and forfeiting the charter of such associations if not incorporated under the laws of Missouri.
Other bills introduced were those which required the removal of screens from saloons, requiring the railroad companies to carry passengers on all local freight trains, and requiring abstracts to be made of real estate to be sold for taxes before such sale is held.
the coal rate bill came to grief in the house. Coal mine operators in Macon, Adair and Randolph counties and operators in the southewstern portion of the state developed such opposition to the measure that they succeeded in bringing about its defeat. They demonstrated, to the satisfaction of the committee, at least, that under the coal schedule in the Speer bill the mines in Ray and Lafayette counties would have the coal market at Kansas City entirely at their mercy, and that the mines in the other counties named would be shut wholly out of that market. It has been ageed, as stated, that whatever maximum freight rate bill is reported, and the Cooper bill now in the hands of the senate railroad committee is the one most likely to be acted upon, though Mr. Speer has introduced a new measure in the house since the original bill was defeated, will be relieved of the burden of coal schedules.
The railroad committee of the two houses have agreed that the state board of railroad and warehouse commissioners have ample power to adjust the coal schedule, and that board has called for a hearing, to be held here February 25, at which it will go over the schedule with traffic representatives of the roads for the purpose of rearranging it.
Mr. Simmons' bill, increasing the compensation of members of county boards of equalization from $3 to $5 per day, passed.
Representative Johnston of Pettis introduced a bill declaring it to be unlawful for a railroad company to operate a freight train without a crew
Gov. Folk sent to the senate for confirmation the names of B. F. Murdock of Platte City and J. P. Woodsides of Alton, Orange county, as members of the board of managers of the confederate home at Higginsville. Following the introduction of a bill providing for the abolition of his office, there was introduced in the house monday afternoon a resolution censuring Supervisor of Building and Loan Associations Watkins, whose newspaper has harshly criticised members who voted against measures favored by the governor.
composed of one engineer, one fireman, one conductor and three brake- The house put in four hours and ten men, one of the latter to be a flagman, minutes Wednesday afternoon considering the committee substitute for the bills amendatory of the Walmsley game law, and when it adjourned that measure was still in the air.
SENATE.
Senator Hudson introduced a bill providing for the establishing of the 34th judicial circuit. It is to be formed by taking Daviess and Livingston counties from the 7th circuit and constituting them the new circuit. The 7th circuit is now, Senator Hudson says, the largest in population in the state. The overflow of change of venue cases from Kansas City, he says, makes a new circuit necessary. The 7th circuit would consist of Ray, Clement and Caldwell counties if the bill passes. Another bill introduced by Senator McDavid increases the state license for dram shops from $100 to $200 per year.
Senator Farris, chairman of the elections committee, stated Monday that a report from that committee on the Methudy contested election case from the 30th district will not be forthcoming until the latter part of the week or until the first of next week. Just what the report will be cannot, of course, be definitely stated, but enough can be foreshadowed to indicate that Senator Methudy will not be disturbed in his incumbency in the seat he occupies in the senate. As is customary (in such cases the contester and contestee will probably be awarded costs of the proceeding, but it is generally believed that Senator Methudy will not be disturbed in the seat to which he was elected by over 2,000 majority over John Sartorious, his democratic opponent.
There was not a negative vote in the passage of Senator Kinney's child labor bill. It prohibits the employment of any child under 14 years of age in any factory, theatre, mercantile house, messenger service, in fact, every line of employment, and regulates the hours that children under 16 and over 14 shall be worked. The maximum hours per day is fixed at nine, and no child of this age shall be worked more than 54 hours each week. Enforcement of the `law` is lodged in the state factory inspector, who is required to prosecute all violations of it, which are punishable by fines ranging from $10 to $100 for each offense.
The senate confirmed the appointment of N. F. Stipes of Jamesport as a member of the board of managers of the industrial school for girls at Chillicothe, and those of R. M. White of Mexico and J. B. Hereford of Odesa as members of the board of managers of the Fulton insane asylum. A bill prepared by the state board of health and introduced by Senator Wornall was passed by the senate Monday afternoon, providing for the disinfection of sleeping cars, railway coaches, public buildings, etc. It is designed to guard the public against infection from tuberculosis and other infections diseases.
In the senate Wednesday there was the usual offerings of petitions from different sections of the state. Senator Bradley varied the monotony of these somewhat by presenting two in favor of the eight-hour law for telegraphers, one signed by 2600 and the other 4600 of the citizens of St. Francois county. Citizens of Clay, Howard and Jackson asked that the game law be left intact, and there were prayers from Shelby, Montgomery, Cass and Barton for the passage of the Boisfort dramshop bill. Deepwater, Henry county, got in its daily petition asking the submission of the prohibition amendment, and St. Louis petitioners asked for the erection of monuments to Missouri soldiers on the battle fields of the South and for the passage of the anti-child labor laws. There was one also from St. Louis asking the senate not to confirm Excise Commissioner Mulvihill, and a basket full asking for the enactment of the county supervision law.
Senator Major's "Jim Crow" law passed the senate Thursday after a sharp debate by the partisan vote of 20 to 11. Every democratic senator who was in his seat voted for the bill, and every republican against it. The senate committee on private corporations Thursday considered a number of bills for the regulation of public-service corporations. In place of reporting any one of the bills favorably, the committee prepared a substitute for all of them and will endeavor to have it adopted by the senate. This substitute empowers cities of all classes to determine by ordinance what rates shall be charged by public utility companies. This includes street railways, gas, electric light, water and telephone companies
The Pumphrey bill to prohibit express companies from doing a moneyorder business was reported favorably Thursday afternoon by the committee on railroads. In the absence of Representative Pumphrey, of Plate; Farris, of Crawford, argued for the bill before the committee. James L. Minnis opposed it.
The house committee on judiciary Thursday substituted the house anti-lobby bill for a measure of the same purport introduced in the senate by Senator Dorris. The two bills are not alike in some particulars, but by substituting the house for the senate bill, the former having already passed the house, much time will be saved. It is probable that this bill will come up in the senate next week for final consideration. It passed the house with practically no objections, and is along the same line of one suggested by Gov. Folk, and meets with his approval.

Stilson became unconscious, and the combined work of the best physicians in the city was unable to relieve congestion of the brain.

CANADA'S GOOD TIMES.
The Immigration During 1906 Was 216,000.
While it is well to heed every word of caution from the leaders in commerce and finance and to avoid all speculative ventures that lack a solid business foundation, it is clearly evident that there is no conspicuous weak spot in Canada's present era of prosperity. The Toronto Globe says: "The Dominion has in a commercial sense plenty of money, and our leading financial institutions are in a position to lend freely in the United States. The chief productive enterprises of Canada are not buoyed up by an era of dangerous speculation, but are following substantial business methods and finding safe and continuous markets for their goods. We are not bolstering up any industries by extensive export bonuses that must impoverish the people as a whole, and ultimately lead to collapse through the failure of the artificial aid. There is no extreme protection in Canada such as would create great fortunes for a few at the expense of the general public and lead to disruption and catastrophe. The prosperity of Canada has no artificial foundation being based on a healthy and substantial expansion of trade and industry, with a proportionate extension of productive settlement to new areas.
It is true that we are borrowing extensively for railway construction, but every line will bring new territory within the limits of profitable occupation, and will create prosperous settlements to bear the burdens and repay the outlay. We are not exhausting mineral resources, for it is quite reasonable to assume that, although mineral wealth is never permanent, ours will during the measurable future develop a far greater productive capacity than at present. Our timber wealth can be made continuous by a judicious policy. And agriculture, the real foundation of our prosperity, is expanding with every new expenditure on railway construction. We are not in the flush of a railway mania that could bring its punishment through the useless duplication of lines. The gigantic railway enterprises that now stimulate every line of business in Canada will create a new Dominion, and thus render easy the heavy burdens of debt now freely assumed. Canada's era of prosperity has been unprecedented, but there is no sign of weakness, and no cause for lack of confidence. While our growth is normal and healthy, we need have no alarm at its rapidity." This article might have gone on to relate the great growth that is taking place in Central Canada, where thousands of Americans have made their homes during the past few years. The past calendar year has given to Canada by importation an addition of 216,000 to its population. Of this the United States contributed 63,781. The agents of the Canadian government, whose advertisement appears elsewhere, say that this number will be largely increased during 1907.
Strenuous Treatment.
"Grandpa had the lumbago the other day."
"Indeed! What did they do for him!"
"Oh, they used the old-fashioned remedies. They soaked his feet in a tub and put ten home-made plasters and poultices on him. Then they dosed him with herb teas until he was red as a beet. After the lumbago was gone they put him in bed and sent for the doctor."
"Gracious, what did they need the doctor for?"
"Why, to cure him of the effects of the old-fashioned remedies."
$100 Reward, $100.
The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Hail's Catarrh Cure is the only positive treatment for this disease, and being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hail's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucus in the throat, and allowing the building of the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have written to the editors of the New York Times One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials. To be addressed: O., Toledo, O.

A Safety Clutch.
A father sent his son to a drug store the other day to buy some antiseptic tablets. He wrote as follows: "A small bottle of antiseptic tablets; no carbolic acid! no iodoform! possibly what the surgeons use when performing an operation to purify a bowl of water." The druggist wrote back: "Cannot sell what you want to a minor; the adult must call in person and sign the poison register."
With a smooth iron and Defiance Starch, you can launder your shirt-waist just as well at home as the steam laundry can; it will have the proper stiffness and finish, there will be less wear and tear of the goods, and it will be a positive pleasure to use a Starch that does not stick to the iron.

POLITICAL POINTERS
When Negro votes put white men in office, then they should get some of the offices.
No Negro can be considered unless they find favor in the eyes of the city central committee.
Many a candidate thinks himself a "Clay," only to discover after the election that his name is "mud."
What the Negro wants is a committee of three on the committee of two hundred on the central committee.
If the Negroes are to give their votes, why are they not to be considered in the making up of the Republican ticket this spring?
It does not matter what service the Negroes will render in any election, they must find that same favor in the central committee or its chairman.
They want three in the marriage license department, two in the license department, one in the registry department and three in the circuit clerk's office.
In a political race almost any politician is satisfied if he only succeeds in getting a place; but in St. Louis all the committee or their brothers must be supplied.
If the Republicans want to get the 12,000 votes of St. Louis, the Negroes of St. Louis should get one-fourth of the offices. What offices have any respectable Negroes, with the exception of John H. Johnson, of the Fifth ward?
Let the central committee put three Negroes on the central committee, one each from the Tenth, Eleventh and Twelfth congressional districts. This will be better and a more amicable feeling will pervade the 12,000 Negro voters of St. Louis.
A politician will shake your hand one minute and pull your leg the next. Let the Negro voters this spring say to the committeemen: "Remember last fall's election. What did we get for casting our vote for our beloved party? You go fishing next April." Don't play the fool any more.
Some men vote as they pray, and they never pray unless it is to ask a political favor. Last fall all the committeemen got their favors in a political office. What did the Negro get? He received what the little boy shot at—nothing. Be careful men, how you vote, if you vote at all.
Remember this spring two years ago, when the Republicans were sure that they had elected the majority of the city council, they held a caucus of the Republicans and indorsed a white man for servant-at-arms of the city council. This position was formerly held under the Republicans by a Negro, and after our hard fight for the success of the party, that was a slam at the Negro Republicans. Should not the Negro know what part he will play at the outcome of the spring section. If you as a Negro do not know, and they will not share the victory with you, then stay at home next April.
The city committee has reported that 200 good Republicans have been selected to pass upon the candidates that will be put up for the Republicans of St. Louis to vote upon next spring (April). If this is the way the city central committee is to hand out to the Republicans (Negro Republicans), it will be well for the Negroes of St. Louis to remain at home next April, as nothing will be offered them. The Negro who can vote the Republican ticket next April can do anything. You voted last fall, and what did you get? If you are not allowed representation on the committee and on the board of two hundred, then why will you fatten frogs for snakes? Stop! Stop! at once.
"Our Vote."
The ballot was placed in the hands of the Negro that he might defend himself. Now that the carpetbaggers of St. Louis have been working the Negro to a finish, it is now time for the Negro to apply the time he has been putting in politics. Let him put it in business or his race affairs. The cheap politicians are a hindrance to the Negro's progress. We are in St. Louis and we art a part of the body politics. We have voted solidly for the Republicans in the city, and no Republican can be elected unless the Negro votes. This being so, then what shall we expect? We should be accorded a seat at the pie counter. This has been denied us ever since the Hon. Chauncey I. Filley stepped down and out of power. What we want is a part of the pie; this old game of promise has passed. The cheap politician thinks that the Negro should be satisfied as a janitor or messenger. This is a sad mistake. If there is nothing in the political "heave-up" for the Negro, then let him stay at home on election day, for there is nothing in it for the Negro after the election.

Oh, yes, the Palladium is to the front with as much vim and original, spicy matter as formerly, when the Palladium man was on his feet. "Association begets assimilation." Miss Olivia Richardson has been with the Palladium so long that she can well be called the Palladium lady. Remember, we all might die sooner or later, and things move along as if nothing had happened, so don't be worried in thinking about the Palladium man, when there is a Palladium lady whom, I believe, when I am in the lonely grave yard, will be able to publish the Palladium with more vim and originality than there ever was before, and she will be a terror to evil doers. I shall when dead leave "Footprints on the sands of time," so much so that there will be a brighter time for the publisher of the St. Louis Palladium.
The spring election is at hand, and the Republican have adopted the same tactics that were adopted last fall and carried out by the state committee; that is: Letting the Negro alone. The few that were sent out by the state committee had no influence, and with but a few exceptions were unknown by the Negroes of the state.
At the election last fall the Negroes of St. Louis voted almost to a man for the Republican ticket; so much so that the congressman in the Third congressional district was elected by only 38 votes. Since that time all of the elected officers have taken charge of the offices to which they were elected. We ask this question: What have they done for the Negro in st. Louis? What have the respectable Negroes in St. Louis received at their hands? What respectable Negroes have had the least say so in regards to whom of their race should be appointed to office? Are the Negroes that have been appointed to office representing the race? Let us ask this question: Will the twelve thousand Negroes of St. Louis vote to give 28 central committee offices before the Negro gets anything? Our answer to that is: Not by a jugful. Now is the time to act. If you have been ignored in the lect election, let the Negro stay at home. If you have not a part at the pie counter, then why will you act the pack-horse for others who do not care for you? My advice to the Negro is to stay at home until you know what part you, as a Negro, are to play after next spring's election.
WHAT WEWOULD LIKE TO SEE?
Two Negroes in the license department on the monthly pay roll.
One Negro in the register's office at the city hall on the payroll.
Three Negroes in the marriage license department on the monthly pay roll.
Three Negroes on the city central committee, that they may represent the Negro.
Three Negroes in the circuit clerk's office at the courthouse on the monthly pay roll.
Three congressmen from St. Louis take one Colored man each and give him a position in Washington, D. C.
Why we would like to see these changes is because: Only one can be elected without the 12,000 Negro votes in St. Louis, and that is the Hon. Richard Bartholdt. With this exception, all are dependent on the Negro votes, and not one can be elected unless we vote. Now, let the Negro demand representation in every place where your votes put Republicans in office.

FOR IRELAND
LIBERAL GOVERNMENT KEEPING A PROMISE IN REGARD TO LEGISLATION FOR IRISH.
PARTIAL ELECTIVE BODY
PARTIAL ELECTIVE BODY
Secretary Birrell Pledges That the Government Will Secure the Reinstatement of Evicted
London—Following closely upon his announcement of the intention of the government to introduce a measure to improve the government of Ireland, Augustine Birrell, chief secretary for Ireland, has given formal notice that a bill "To establish an Irish council, and for other purposes connected therewith," would be introduced. Thus is the liberal government keeping its promise to the nationalists to place Irish legislation to the forefront o the present session of parliament.
One of the most difficult details facing the government was whether the council should be elected or nominated. In the original draft of this bill an entirely nominative body was proposed, but John E. Redmond, the Irish leader, rejected this as useless, a proposal which he and the other Irish leaders could not support. Elective Element Will Predominate. The bill of which Mr. Birrell has given notice will provide for a council in which the elective element will predinate. A number of nominative members are retained in order to placate the liberals, who are opposed to an entirely representative body. It is understood also that this council fragsits was enacted in Washington, powers, but its right to legislate will be limited.
This feature has been accepted by the Irish leaders. Nothing definite is known as to the amount of financial control to be entrusted to the council, but to satisfy Irishmen this will have to be large. There is no doubt that the powers now centered in numerous boards controlling the administration of Ireland will be handed over to the council.
The Evicted Tenants.
Speaking in the house, Mr. Birrell said the question of the restoration of evicted tenants to their homes was of primary importance, and brooked no delay. He referred to the action of Lord Clanricarde in refusing to reinstate tenants on his estate, and hinted that it would be quite justifiable to take over the administration of these estates. In conclusion, the chief secretary for Ireland pledged the government to take effective measures to secure the reinstatement of evicted tenants.
PROHIBITIONISTS MARCH.
One Thousand Parade Through the Capitol at Washington.
Washington—A scene that rivaled the recent attacks on the British house of commons by women suplosives were secured in seven houses, when temperance advocates, 1,000 strong, marched through the halls of the national capitol, demanding the passage of the bill introduced by Representative Webber, of Ohio, to rid the District of Columbia of the liquor traffic. At times the temperance army became somewhat riotous. At one point, when Bishop Potter's name was mentioned during the debate on the temperance bill, the crusaders laughed and hissed derisively. Men, women and children, representing a score of total-abstinence orders and the leading churches of the District, formed the procession which moved through the capital for more than two hours.
Miss Phoebe Cousins was among those speaking against prohibition legislation for the District of Columbia. Miss Cousins said her opposition to prohibition is due to experience in prohibition states, where she found that the law against liquor selling resulted in unlawful traffic in liquor, as well as deception and general lawlessness.
A NICE BUNCH.
Twenty-Three Italians Are Arrested Charged with Various Crimes.
Wilkesbarre, Pa.—As the result of a series of "blackhand" outrages in the mining settlement in the vicinity of Pittston, 23 Italians have been arrested. They are charged with attempts at murder, dynamiting and shooting at houses.
Nearly a wagon load of stilletos, revolvers, guns, dynamite and other explosives were secured in seven houses
Washington—The house committee on library has decided to make favorable reports on bills to erect monuments in Washington to Benjamin F. Stephenson, founder of the Grand Army of the Republic, and to Capt. John Ericsson. The Grand Army of the Republic will give the Stephenson statue to the capital, but an appropriation of $10,000 is carried to buy a site and erect a pedestal. The bill carries $50,000 for the Ericsson statue. Ericsson built the iron-clad Monitor during the civil war.
IT IS UP TO CONGRESS
JAP QUESTION TO BE DEALT WITH BY LEGISLATION.
President Roosevelt, Mayor Schmitz and San Francisco School Board Reach an Agreement.
Washington—The Japanese school controversy is settled in so far as President Roosevelt, Mayor Schmitz and the members of the San Francisco school board are concerned. An amicable adjustment of the question now rests with congress. If the amendment to the Immigration bill, proposed by Secretary Root, excluding foreigners who use their passports to secure admission to the United States, "to the detriment of labor conditions in this country," is accepted by the senate and house, and the immigration bill is passed at this session of congress, the San Francisco board of education will rescind its order establishing the oriental schools, unless the Japanese government agrees to a proposition for separate schools which will provide equal facilities for the Japanese children.
The Californians Satisfied.
The Californiaians Satisfied.
Mayor Schmitz and his associates conferred with the president, and assured Mr. Roosevelt that the amendment to the immigration bill was entirely satisfactory to them.
Secretary Root participated in the conference, and made a report on his negotiations with the republican leaders in congress and the Japanese ambassador. While the Californiaans are still hopeful that Viscount Aoki, the Japanese ambassador, will agree to separate schools in San Francisco, they stand willing to reschedule the order establishing the oriental schools and again admit Japanese children to the white schools.
Equal Educational Advantages.
Mayor Schmitz pointed out to President Roosevelt and Secretary Root the advantages that will be gained by the Japanese children if the oriental school are maintained, and expressed a willingness to give the Japanese equal educational facilities to those given the white children of San Francisco. If the Japanese government will agree to this proposition, the school board will establish a sufficient number of oriental schoolhouses to accommodate the Japanese, and will give the children individual instruction. Mayor Schmitz says the Japanese make faster progress in the oriental schools, and that in the mixed schools the Japanese only retard the white children's progress.
Will Ascertain Japan's Attitude.
President Roosevelt hopes to be able to assure Mayor Schmitz and his associates that the immigration bill, including the exclusion amendment, will be passed at this session of congress. Secretary Root will ascertain Japan's attitude on Mayor Schmitz's proposition for separate schools, and the mayor's assurance that the Japanese are not to be discriminated against, but are to have equal educational advantages with the white children. If the proposition does not meet with Ambassador Aoki's views, the school board will abolish the oriental schools.
CAUSED BY LEAKING GAS.
Terrific Explosion and Death in the Heart of Los Angeles.
Los Angeles, Cal.—An explosion of leaking gas near the corner of Second and Main streets, in the heart of the city, killed four persons, mangled two and seriously injured three others, slightly injured nearly a score and completely wrecked a two-story brick building in which were located four small business concerns.
The explosion occurred in the restaurant of B. Cassarti, 114-116 West Second street. The restaurant was completely wrecked, as was also the tailoring establishment of H. L. Yerger, and a small laundry office. Offices of several small concerns on the second floor were completely ruined.
The dead: J. M. C. Fuentes, tailor, aged 47; John W. Maid, aged 56, rancher, who was seated at the table in the restaurant; Lavonne Meyers, waitress; Annie Cofer, waitress.
Seriously injured: Charles Blumenthal, will die; Miss May Anderson, waitress, necessary to amputate both legs.
The exact cause of the explosion is as yet unknown, but it is believed that the gas was ignited by an employee of the gas company who was searching in the basement for a leak in main.
MADE TO SEE THE DIFFERENCE.
Jap Learns There Is One Thing Americans Won't Stand For.
San Francisco—An American flag with the field of stars turned downward in front of a Japanese newspaper office nearly provoked a serious riot on Geary street.
"Put that flag up right or I'll crack your skull," demanded an officer of the editor. The flag was taken down and returned with the stars upward and the crowd cheered.

English Tongue-Twister.
The English language has its own peculiar terrors. Who would not pity the foreigner attempting to understand such sentences as "It was put in case in case it should rain." "The first one won one sovereign." "I will come by-and-by and buy a bicycle?" And how could you expect a German to get at the real meaning of the metaphors in the following sentence—"Being unhorsed he dogged his man and soon had him cowed?"
Irrigated Lands.
Do you know that at this time you can secure irrigated land in the Big Horn Basin, Wyoming, for but little more than the cost of water for irrigating? It will not be so, very much longer.

STILL MORE PROOF
STILL MORE PROOF
That Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Have Cured Even the Most Stubborn Cases of Rheumatism.
"When I was a boy of sixteen," says Mr. Otto H. Rose, a retired grocer, of 1226 Lexington Avenue, Indianapolis, Ind., "I met with a serious accident which injured the bone of my head over the right eye. I recovered from the accident to all appearances, but not many years after I began to have intense pains in the injured bone, which came on every year and would last from a few days to several weeks
"I consulted the doctors who told me that I was suffering from neuralgia. The sight of my right eye was affected, so that at times I could scarcely see out of it, while both eyes watered constantly. During these attacks I was often dizzy from the terrible pains. The pains came on every morning and passed away in the afternoon. I never suffered from the pain at night.
"I tried without success to get relief until a friend told me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.

He made two errors, he escape a famine, which he have escaped by going to an art of Canaan, he left the red Land and went down into which had already attained civilization, full of heathenism, stress and luxury, which has a dissipation and charm to one that enters its enchanted circles, when, as was the case in there were many good precepts religion.

To escape this he told a lie which was a form that Sarah was his sister, his half-sister.

We are told in 2 Peter righteous Lot" was "sore dislief by the lascivious life of the For the righteous man dwell- them, in seeing and hear- his righteous soul from day with their lawless deeds" (2. 8).

Of Interest to Women.
Every woman naturally should be healthy and strong, but a great many women, unfortunately, are not, owing to the unnatural condition of the lives we lead. Headache, backache and a general tired condition are prevalent amongst the women of to-day, and to relieve these conditions women rush to the druggists for a bottle of some preparation supposed to be particularly for them, and containing—nobody knows what. If they would just get a box of Brandreth's Pills, and take them regularly every night for a time, all their trouble would disappear, as these pills regulate the organs of the feminine system. The same dose always has the same effect, no matter how long they are used.
Brandreth's pills have been in use for over a century, and are for sale everywhere, plain or sugar-coated.
Henry Clay and Lew Wallace.
"Mr. Clay was of a personality once seen never to be forgotten. Tall, slender, graceful, he had besides the air majestic which kings affect, imagining it exclusive property.
"Throughout Mr. Clay's performance my eyes scarcely left his countenance, which, as he proceeded, sank from sight until, by the familiar optical illusions, nothing of it remained but the mouth, and that kept enlarging and widening until it seemed an elastic link holding the ears together. Indeed, at this late writing, my one distinct recollection of the man and his speech is the mouth and its capacity for infinite distension."—Autobiography of Lew Wallace.
MIX THIS AT HOME.
Vaiuable Prescription Which Anyone Can Easily Prepare.
The following simple home-made mixture is said to readily relieve and overcome any form of Rheumatism by forcing the Kidneys to filter from the blood and system all the uric acid and poisonous waste matter, relieving at once such symptoms as backache, weak kidneys and bladder and blood diseases.
Try it, as it doesn't cost much to make, and is said to be absolutely harmless to the stomach.
Get the following harmless ingredients from any good pharmacy: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup of Sarsaparilla, three ounces. Mix by shaking well in a bottle, and take a teaspoonful after each meal and at bedtime.
This simple mixture is said to give prompt relief, and there are very few cases of Rheumatism and Kidney troubles it will fail to cure permanently. These are all harmless, every-day drugs, and your druggist should keep them in the prescription department; if not, have him order them from the wholesale drug houses for you, rather than fail to use this, if you are afflicted.
WHEN HIS BABY WAS DYING.
The Milkman Was Late That Day, but None Complained.
A few days ago people on Linwood boulevard who patronize a certain milkman missed his familiar before-breakfast ring, says the Kansas City Star. It was late in the morning when he finally made the rounds. And the women scolded.—
"I'll have to take milk from somebody else!" one irate housewife snapped.
"All right, madam," he said, softly. Something in his voice made her pause.
"What made you late?" she demanded, still angry.
A tear wavered on the milkman's eye and trickled slowly down his cheek.
"When—when I left home," he began.
He paused and gulped at something in his throat.
"When I left," he said, "my baby—was dying. I knew someone—would be—angry—with me if I didn't—come so I—"
He could say nothing more. The woman said, gently: "I'm sorry."
Next day the milkman failed to appear. The second day he was around very early.
"We buried her yesterday," was his explanation.
No one chided him. They understood. His baby was dead.
GUIDES CHILDREN.
Experience and a Mother's Love Make Advice Valuable.
An Ills. mother writes about feeding children:
"If mothers would use Grape-Nuts more for their little ones, there would be less need for medicines and fewer doctor bills.
"If those suffering from indigestion and stomach troubles would live on Grape-Nuts, toast and good milk for a short period they would experience more than they otherwise would believe.
"Our children have all learned to know the benefit of Grape-Nuts as an appetizing, strengthening food. It is every evening, with few variations, like this: 'Mamma, let's have toast and Grape-Nuts for breakfast; or, let's have eggs and Grape-Nuts'—never forgetting the latter.
"One of our boys in school and 15 years of age repeatedly tells me his mind is so much brighter after having Grape-Nuts as a part if not all his breakfast." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Read the life book, "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. "There's a Reason."

Used Him as Eraser.
The late Dr. Henry Martyn Field some years ago related at a Williams alumni dinner a rather amusing incident of his freshman days at college. Being only 12 years old when he entered he had not reached the point where the natural friction between the big boy and the small boy ceases and he was at particular feud with one of his fellows, a stalwart country youth fresh from the farm. One day young Field went early to the classroom and put upon the big blockboard a very exasperating caricature of his enemy, with his name beneath. When the aggrieved party saw what had been done he said not a word, but catching up his youthful tormentor, he used him as an eraser and after rubbing out the offensive picture quietly took his seat.

Wonder of Plant Memory.
Plant memory is a problem for the inquisitive botanist, says the Dundee Advertiser. In 1901 a plant allied to the squash and pumpkin was taken to New York from the desert of Sonora, in Mexico, and since then it has been kept—without watering—in a strange climate 3,600 miles from home. During the six weeks of rain in the desert the plant grows its leaves and flowers and perfects its seed. Then it dries up and leaves only a water-filled gourd, which a thick, hard shell seals against animals and evaporation. The transplanted specimen still remembers the rainy season of six weeks. It wakes, sends out rootlets, stems and leaves, and then dries up again until the following year.
NO RELIEF FROM ECZEMA
For Over Two Years—Patent Medicines, Quack Cures, and Doctors Fall—Cuticura Succeeds.
"I was very badly afflicted with eczema for more than two years. The parts affected were my limbs below the knees. I tried all the physicians in the town and some in the surrounding towns, and I also tried all the patent remedies that I heard of, besides all the cures advised by old women and quacks, and found no relief whatever until I commenced using the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent. In the Cuticura Remedies I found immediate relief, and was soon sound and well. C. V. Beltz, Tippicaneo, Ind., Nov. 15, 05."
Hostess' Trade Union.
What is wanted is a hostess' trade union, a powerful combination of society women pledged to maintain their own self-respect, and to extinguish socially any man guilty of the slightest lapse of the courtesy which every woman has every right to expect. The drawback to the formation of such society lies in the fact that unfortunately being respected neither by men nor by each other most women do not respect themselves either—Ladies' Field.
Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually necessary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wearing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its greater strength than other makes.

MRS. ELVA BARBER EDWARDS
There are three critical stages in a woman's life which leave their mark in her career. The first of these stages is womanhood, or the change from a care free girl to budding womanhood. The second is motherhood, and the third is Change of Life.
Perils surround each of these stages, and most of the misery that comes to women through ill health dates from one or another of these important crises.
Women should remember that Lyda E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound made from native roots and herbs has carried thousands of young girls over the critical period of puberty, has prepared mothers for childbirth, and in later years carried them safely through the change of life more successfully than any other remedy in the world. Thousands of testimonials from grateful persons, two of which are here published, substantiate this fact beyond contradiction.
Mrs. George Walters of Woodlawn, Ill. writes:

They were forthcoming and the man who had bet they wouldn't be there paid, though it turned out that the winner had arranged with Whiteley in advance.

Never in the history of the Grand Lodge has there been a more successful quarter. The lodge paid in during the first quarter $2,045.25. Eighteen deaths were reported from all quarters of the order. The six lodges paying the highest amount for the first quarter were:
1. St. Paul Lodge, No. 3, Hannibal, Mo., $55.20.
2. C. H. Williams Lodge, No. 105, Lexington, Mo., $55.25.
3. A. B. Moore Lodge, No. 122, Jefferson City, Mo., $52.70.
4. Crespus Attucks Lodge, No. 62,
Columbus, Mo., $49.30.
5. Elijah Lodge, St. Louis, Mo., $42.50.
6. Peaceful Path Lodge, Kansas City, $42.50.
These are the banner lodges and the masters and officers and members work together for the good of each other, and the Grand Lodge in general.
The Temples paid in the Grand Rebecca Temple, No. 2, St. Louis, Mo., $61.20.
Thus we can see where the brain and sinew of the order is. It is an undeniable fact that there is no order in America doing the amount of good that is being done by the order of U. B. F. and S. M. T.

Perfect, Hinsdale, Mo., $9.00.

THE FOLLY OF FAMILY INTERFERENCE BETWEEN HUSBAND AND WIFE.
Many a good matrimonial ship, with its sunlit cargo of happiness and hope, has been wrecked on the rocks of family interference.
It is in the first years of married life that foreign interference is most trying and dangerous, and it is this very time when it is most conspicuous and dominant.
These early years are time of gradual adjustment to new conditions, the formative period of harmonizing with a new environment of growth in mutual understanding perhaps of meeting disappointment and of rising superior to it or of sadly revising golden dreams and unrealized ideals of taking trial balances on the ledger of happiness, of awakening to the wisdom of mutual concessions, or learning new lessons in the school of experience that can never be learned viciously.
These are the problems of two that must be solved by them. They need only kindness, sympathy, generous cooperation. There is no need for the family to remind the wife that the husband is not 18-carat, that he will never make a fortune, that they fear greatly and let their fear expand into long catalogue of detail that fades away into the dim perspective of the unspoken. After the goods are bought and sent home and cannot be returned what is the use of discouraging the purchasers. Why not point out some good point, something helpful and inspiring?
Sometimes the interference of families becomes even more active and aggressive than this, and because of a fancied grievance or a genuine opposition, it actually comes between husband and wife and by harsh criticism or condemnation seeks to plant seeds of discord between them. Here instant loyalty of the one to the other should assert itself and refuse to listen to the voice. In an instinctive spirit of protection there should be a calm, dignified protest of what if unessential should never be spoken and if of serious import should be expressed only in the presence of the one thus charged with that he or she should have the opportunity of denying or disproving before the weeds of suspicion have time to root themselves in the heart of the other.
CHRISTIAN WISDOM SOCIETY.
The Christian Wisdom society met in its regular monthly meeting on the first Tuesday evening in the month at the First Baptist church.
The meeting was opened at 8:30 o'clock by Rev. J. H. Foraker with the reading of Jer. 5th chapter, 5th verse: "I will get me unto the great men and will speak unto them, for they have known the way of the Lord, and the judgment of their God, but these altogether have broken the yoke, and bruised the bonds." Next was prayed. President Sister M. Sweeney was in the chair; vice-president, Sister Carrie Blakehead; secretary, Sister Lewis; assistant secretary, Sister Young; treasurer, Sister West.
After business the collection amounted to $26.70. This is the reliable Christian Wisdom society, the oldest in the state, and pays all its debts. Everybody says "Yes." We want every good Christian to join. "Why, of course, we will."
THEY DO SAY!
Mr. Kornet, of 914 Market street, is one of the best tailors in St. Louis. The Palladium man formerly had his clothes made by him, but of late years he has been too poor to have clothes made to order, and now gets them as best he can, but young men who want an up-to-date suit, go to 914 Market.
NOTICE
Don't forget to go to "Sam," the Tailor, and get your winter suit or a present for your friend. He is doing a large business, as you know, at 204 and 206 N. Fourteenth street. He also has a working store at 1322 Pine street. It is an undeniable fact that he is one of the best men in St. Louis, as the Palladium man knows.
