WASHINGTON, D. C. D. — One of our ambitious schemes conceived by the governor capitalist, now or ever, is an engineering foot by which it may be down the surface of the reservoir permently twenty to forty feet, and to co great flow of the Colorado river as water from the Arizona and california utilizes the water for irrigating vast areas of desert, arid and semi-arid lands, and thousands acres of new land by scientific guidance of the stream so that it will be developed for water or sediment or soil mining by man and like man, it will be vast electrical power. Colorado has never been considered a stream whose waters could be utilized to a great extent for irrigation, but it has been used for irrigation for months in a careful reconnaissance of the situation, presents a plan of starting prairie and desert agriculture, known hydrographers of the United States are called chief hydrographer of the isthman canal commission. in speaking of great Colorado river is the largest stream both in drainage area and in pervious surface. The greatest Colorado river has as yet been utilized for irrigation. Through most of the country, the bottom of profound canyons from which it is fed has been utilized for lands. if its water could be fully utilized, it would irrigate vast areas of rich land. Measurements made in Arizona show that a 10-foot cubic foot as low as 3,000 cubic feet per second. Its maximum discharge is unknown, but the maximum cubic feet per second or the maximum amount measured by the billion gallon per minute, enough to water an acre, one foot deep in twenty-four acres. ALLEY OF THE LOWER COLORADO FLOOD PLAINS THAT ALLEY OF THE LOWER COLORADO RIVER AT LOW WATER, SHOWING FLOOD PLAINS THAT CAN BE RECL AIMED. THE CITY OF NEW YORK IRRIGATED ORANGE GROVE, AZUSA. CALIF. An river is navigated for several hundred miles from its mouth to several hundred miles in distance, owing to the shallow, changeable channel, that wagon transportation, and the times of high water the current is very swift. The development of several reservoirs in which the tapped river at gate 300,000 acres, and raised in which the tapped river at capacity of 200,000, would each be provided with a dammed transportation. Mr. Davis believes that his proposed plan of storage reservoirs will solve both the navigation and mining. A Sub-Tropic Climate. All the land that can be irrigated from the lower Colorado may be regarded as the growing season for most products continues the year round, the requirements are lower in summer than in the summer season those of the winter. It is believed that with proper regulation the Colorado river will be able to supply water for industrial use, varying from 10,000 cubic feet per second in winter to 20,000 cubic feet per second in spring and allowing the great floods of wet years to sween to the sea as at preset temperatures to irrigate two million acres of land. A considerable portion of the valleys of the lower Rockies contain reservoirs food and water which are subject to occa- cions, munitions and unsuitable for cultivation. This large acreage it is proposed to reclaim by impounding upon them the all yearly annually passes down the Colorado River. A Chun of Great Reservoirs. Mr. Shovelton by impounding upon a series of reservoirs on the Colorado river by the construction of dams where possible reservoirs is large. The tail or the river is so slight that reservoirs of enormous capacity may be construc- tured in the all yearly dam of unappreciable height. At any time, by opening the sluicesway of the reservoirs the current of the river will quickly out the canister through the deposited sediment. With this exception can reservoir be used for storage or as a wetment. When this occurs it is proposed to draw down the surface of the reservoir permeable all of the reservoir site, except the river channel into irrigated farming land, and, if necessary, construct another reservoir for storage purposes higher up on the river. Enormous Yields. It will then be practicable, whenever desired, to close the soil in the reservoir and in each lilied reservoir and then fertilize it as has naturalized. Such irrigation is done artificially in some parts of the world, in the volcanic soil, semi-tropical climate, arid atmosphere, abundant water and fertilizing the fields every year without expense. Mr. Davies states that such land is not cultivated by large agricultural crops taken off annually, an accrease precedent, in history. Electrical Power. Each reservoir constructed will furnish enormous electrical power, which can be utilized in the management of the region and boats. Locks can be constructed at each dam and the graded rock basins, which will render practicable the employment of large boats, run by means of the development, as suggested by Mr. Davis, would be relied upon. The reservoir will be built and soon filled with sediment, with the exception of the channel, by the vast amount of second reservoir, higher up the river, would be built, and so on. The slitting process would be used to reclaim land with the sediment it could be gilled back and the reclamation would be desired, in order that it longer required for this purpose the sediment could be sluiced out by the annual floods. Mr. Davis has outlined a tentative plan RIVER AT LOW WATER, SHOWING CAN BE RECL AIMED. Arizona, with a capacity to irrigate 300,000 acres near Yuma; a second one (300,000 acres near Yuma); a capacity to irrigate 400,000 acres; a third one at Eull's Head with a capacity to irrigate 300,000 acres, and a fourth one in the Black Canyon of the Colorado with a capacity of 200,000. These reservoirs were created in 1980, and are used to make the 200,000-acre match would be navigable. The reservoirs Mr. Davis estimates would also develop water power to the extent of 500,000 horse-power. In case more storage capacity is required in the future other reservoirs could be constructed in the canyon of the Colorado, each of which would furnish additional storage, power and maintenance, and would also be needed to storage would only be needed by the complete filling by sit of the reservoir in the Black Canyon, which Mr. Davis says would mean the creation of two or three hundred thousand acres of rich farming land, the value of which would far more than pay for the additional reservoirs above. The development of the enormous horse power above mentioned could be utilized extensively in the "mining industry throughout the region, where power is very low." Great Engineering Works. The cost of the entire development as outlined by Mr. Davis is $22,000,000. Against this, however, he credits at least 1,200,000 acres of land which could be irrigated, alone worth several times the cost of the project; 300 miles of navigation, worth at least $10,000,000, and immense power possibilities, worth easily $100,000,000. Taking the population of the five adjoining dependent upon irrigation, he shows that the 1,200,000 acres from the Lower Colorado River to the Rockies are 1,300,000 people, or a community more numerous than the entire population of any one of twenty-three states of the world. In discussing the possibilities of the scheme he refers to one instance of a THE APPEAL.

The pleasant streets of that dear old town. And my youth, come back to me. Longfellow always awaken a responsive echo in the hearts of all natives of the State of Maine, as they think of the city by the river. And to think of Portland is to recall the longfellow home, where Longfellow's childhood and young manhood were passed, and where so many of his curious friends are located. What Burns is to Scotland, Goethe to Germany and Shakespeare to England, Longfellow is to America, and touring to Europe, to homes of poets as sacred shrines appreciate also the opportunity of visiting Longfellow's home. This fact was demonstrated by the first time opened to the public, over three thousand visitors having registered in six weeks. The admiration and appreciation of poetry by many of these registered guests being foreigners. Among them being Madame Modjeska and her husband Count Bassett, many of these registered guests being a laurel wreath on mass, and to place a laurel wreath on Longfellow's grave.

He keeps his eyes on a storm from the time it is born, far down on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, where, as a baby storm, it tosses the shining sands of the long, sunlit beaches and curls the white and sparkling crests of the blue waves. Wherever Uncle Sam discovers the growing storm, he takes care not to let it get out of his sight again. He catches it from point to point as it roars along until he sees it driving far out on the ocean. Then, in force of the tempest's gath- Defective Pag poets' corner of Westminster Abbey. Longfellow's old home in Portland, Maine, was the home of the historical society by his sister, Annie Longfellow Feller, on certain conditions. Some of these are that the society shall be created as a memorial to the poet, while in the rear of the house a suitable fireproof building shall be created for the safe preservation of books, papers and historical mementos. As the present rooms of the society were entirely inadequate for the proper classification and arrangement, this gift of Mrs. Pierce was accepted. But to meet all the conditions of the deed of the property, a gift of $75,000 to $100,000 will be required. A part of the necessary fund has been raised by subscription, but a large portion of the money made to all persons who are interested in the preservation of Longfellow's old home, as well as to the former residents of Maine to help along the good work of the Maine Historical society is of great value to Maine people, for they have collected and preserved a large number of pamphlets and papers.

There is not a second from the time a storm is born until it dispears howling over the sea, and the storm is to flash the ocean waves into fury that Uncle Sam has not his eye upon it. Sometimes, instead of following the gulf stream out through the Florida straits, and sweeping the coast to work desi- stions, the shore and deluge seas ports like Charleston, Norfolk, New York and Boston with downpours of rain, a storm born in the Southwest will turn pretty sharply to the northward, and reach the Great Lakes, whose fresh-water waters it will set to troothing and seething. A storm which seeks the Great Lakes for the scene of its exploits nearly always passes out to sea by way of the St. Louis River, which is the coldest storm from the lake region will try to break away from its natural courses of the sea and endeavor to fly down the Hudson river and get to salt water by way of New York City. The storm is not unusual, but when they do occur and succeed in their efforts to get to sea by taking a turn to the southward they are storms which are long remembered for their destructive force. As a rule, our storms in this country all rush up from the southwest and journey to the east, and the storm is a function of our cold waves come from the Northwest, up in Minnesota, the Dakotas, or Montana, when the winds of the North will blow down from the frozen tundra lands of Canada and set in motion a volume of cold water which waves itself end toward the country and out to sea, to follow Sometimes the cold wave will sweep over the coast of the Gulf of Mexico.

At every important seaport there is a branch hydrographic office, with a naval officer in charge, and hardly a ship come into harbor that does not report its weather observations to that office. Certain Bank forms are furnished to the capitals of inexcellent vessels, and when these forms are properly filled out they furnish a perfect little history of the weather experienced by the ship while on her voyage. With many shines and every day, from all over the world, in the norts of the United States the hydrographic office keeps track of the storms which the weather bureau is when they went to sea. Uncle Sam can tell by means of his hydrographic office whether a storm which has left the coast and gone to sea with its bolsterous shoutings is hurling the breakers on the coast of the British Isles or has tired itself out and gone to sleep on the broad bosom or the great day. The hydrographic office keeps a record of all storms which are particularly wicked and marks their course over the ocean by red lines on the pilot charts of the North Atlantic ocean, which the office issues every month. On these pilot charts, also, Uncle Sam marks down the icebergs which ships have reported as floating down from the arctic regions to gather at the straits.

We are caused to wonder what has taken possession of the hide-bound colorophists of this country, as we read daily of their many unfair, unChristian, inhuman action. They seem to grow madder than bulls, when red rags are flaunted in their faces, every time they think of the Afro-Americans—and it seems they stay up rights to think of them. Every morn- ling the daily papers publish some new, or at least, additional, injustice, indulgence, currage or barbarity perpetrated by them upon their brothers, whose greatest offense is the color of their skin. They can find, in their minds, it secs, as many good excuses for their actions as a topper can for taking a drink. That God created black men and women, if He created white ones, few have the temerity to deny, and as all of God's creations are for some good purpose, the black children of an all-wise Creator must have a part to play in this world. There are more than ten millions of these Afro-Americans, creations of God, in this country, and it does not seem reasonable that He created them to be destroyed just because some of them are black. Yet day after day we read of numerous outrages being heaped upon them. They are denied all the rights vouchsafed by the constitution of this country, though they fought, bled and died on every occasion when their country's cause needed defenders. They must not be allowed to be officers in the army and navy; they must not vote; they must not ride on the cars; they must not eat at hotels and public places of entertainment; they must not go to schools and colleges; they must not do a thousand and one things that other people do. We often wonder why things are as they are, but we cannot arrive at a satisfactory solution. We can, however, hope on and hope ever. Two cases involving the franchise rights of the Afro-American male adults of the State of Virginia under the new constitution of that state have been docketed in the Supreme Court of the United States by Hon. J. S. Wise, the cases originated in the United States Circuit Court for the Eastern district of Virginia, and were adversely passed upon last November, Chief Justice Fuller being on the bench at that time. One case was an application for a writ of prohibition and the other an application for a writ of injunction, the purpose in both instances being to have the court prohibit the Virginia State Canvassing Board from canvassing the vote for Congressmen at the last general election on the ground that the restrictions placed upon voters by the new state constitution are in contravention of the Federal Constitution. The first case was a proceeding in law and the second in equity, but the court refused to entertain either of them, alleging that it was without jurisdiction, as the cases were political, and the State itself must necessarily be a party to the proceeding. In his assignment of errors bringing the cases to the Supreme Court, Mr. Wise attempts to controvert these points. He contends for the jurisdiction of the court and on the point as to State interest says: "The subject of the prayer was not to compel the State to do anything, but to prohibit the officers of the State from violating a plainuty." In concluding his statement, Mr. Wise says: "Petitioners by counsel, in view of the importance of this case, will, upon its hearing, petition the honorable, the Supreme Court of the United States, for leave to discuss the subject freely, and will ask that they be not strictly confined to the specifications of error set forth." The presence of Hon. J. W. Lyons, Register of the Treasury, and Mrs. Lyons; Hon. Cyrus Field Adams, Assistant Register of the Treasury; Hon. John C. Dancy, Recorder of Deeds, Mrs. Dancy and Miss Dancy at the judiciary reception at the White House last week, has caused a number of Southern papers to become very much excited over a matter which really amounts to very little. Mr. Lyons and Mr. Adams have attended several receptions at the White House, and for many years it has been the custom to invite all government officials, and no exception has ever been made in the cases of Afro-Americans. There was no fuss on this occasion at all, and nobody left because of the presence of the Afro-American officials. During the recent visit of Booker T. Washington to Stanford University, California, he was entertained by Mrs. Stanford at her own home. Mrs. Stanford also gave a luncheon in his honor, among the party being the Rev.

All of the crimes committed by Afro-Americans are bunched, and flaming headlines announce to the world that we are practically a race of criminals. According to a report made to congress by Dr. Arthur MacDonald, it is shown that in spite of the progress of education, suicide, insanity, juvenile crime and pauperism are at present increasing faster than the population. The proposition to erect a memorial to Gen. R. E. Lee at Gettysburg is being fought by the G. A. R. Posts, and they are right. Why not raise a monument to Benedict Arnold, and be done with it? Twenty-eight Caucasians living in Atalaa county, Miss., have been indicted for lynching; if they can be punished it will be a notice to violators of the law to turn from their evil Webster's rapidly changing moods from optimism to depression, and which he has called for a period of dissatisfaction with the patients, particularly those in which relate to his personal finances in the days when he was harassed by medical practices. The most recently applied, the practice man no one can doubt who will read them. They testify that he was a man of sound business sense, as if he had not been a good man of mind was capable of embracing almost every variety of human interests. Webster's unfortunate financial complications of the time, and that it is really luminous to find out, after perusing these letters, that the man who stood for the commercial interests of the world and was in the common sense and ability possessed sound business sense, and would have been one of the wealthiest men of his day had a led-to-to-place place in his life and he was the public weal. Investing heavily in Western lands in Ohio, Michigan and Minnesota-diverting his surplus of land and the end of the time in great and momentous questions then vexing the statementship of his period, his mediation and performance of the new great, which he was defending with matchless eloquence the Constitution of the United States, and touring to pieces of the world. The most well-known individual states then advocated by Hayney and Calhoun with commanding ability. These letters show that Mr. Robert's consensus of the next year is relevant for debate to much needed at that critical time in the country's history, deliberately consecrated himself to the public. Even almost total effacement It is interesting to note in view of the insular interests of the United States at this time, eventuing from the Spanish Amal情议. In the case of the United States, the position that "This government must have an ultimate construction of power of decision respecting the extent of it's own authority." It is of interest to Samuel N. Sweet the authorship of the 'Imaginary Speech' supposed to have been delivered by Samuel Adams in the Revolutionary Congress, is referred to. Washington, D.C., Dec. 31, 1849. Dear Sir: I have had very frequent occasions to answer the same inquiry as that which you propose to me in your case. The speech is so clear as to what is the question to which you refer is my composition. The congress of the Revolution at which it was closed doors of the 'moments of adopting speeches of the independence. We only know that John Adams spoke in favor of the measure with his usual power and fervor. In a letter written from Philadelphia, he took a good look at the issue in the case made, he said it was an event which would be celebrated in time to come by bonfires, illuminations, and other modes of public rejoining. And the day he was at the meeting the ringing of bells, he asked the occasion and being told that it was the 4th of July, and that the bells were ringing for Independence, he exclaimed, "In the beginning he was the one of the nations were used in composing the speech as being characteristic of the man, his sentiments, and his manner of speech and elocution. All the rest is mine." It must not be supposed that Mr. Webster did not find time from his manifold occupations to show that he was a sportsman—wren in for hunting and fishing with seet and sand, but studied them, and knew their history, and he was quite as enthusiastic as he was in telling them. Says the author: "Probably nothing is so characteristic of the man on his literary maniacs, which tells of the vast literary plans of his master." The great author of the book found alluring themes on every side. The plans floated easily in the massive head, the great body, and the sageface and the saguice of the world that would have been necessary to carry out his plan well to feel his power over men, and to get the immediate returns for efforts he made.

Lowe and the gravure and duograve reproductions of portraits and views. Two volumes: *Gravure and duograve* by L. Philipcott Company. In her foreword, Miss Lauzier says: "The love of women and women who wrote is an easily understood tradition of the traditions of romance, those men and women; their written love, the majesty, the majesty, have soul young blood (and oft times blood not so young) coursing hearts not so young; have filled young hearts (and oft times hearts not so young) to bear and forbear, give and forgive in love's name. It is love that once were young should wish to know in what manner those men and hearts that once were young should be a wife, a real, true wife, to any man—his eternally forcaded soul's most love inspired and alertly intelligent gifts, and graces chafed to a woman. Any man, it is twice the wife of a man of genius; perhaps it is no woman, and graces understaking; when one comes to think of all it entails." Tennyson kept faith with his maiden passion and so did Emily Selwood and on June 13, 1850, the month which saw the publication of the book "The New York Times," in Philadelphia, a wedding. "of the quietest" in Shipleake church, "one of the grand old village churches." Miss Mittford says, "which give much of character to English landscapees." “It is probably true of most women that their first ideals of love are of some kind, and they are small and small. It is not as they grow older, their cry is first of all, for some one to love supremely.” “Who can a woman's first ideal is the man of life?” she asked. “I am so much like a second ideal is the man she can do most.” The second ideal is never supplanted. The woman heart thrives divinely on service, one of the most important things. One light that failed is the pathetic story of Ruskin. Conscientiously earnestly and to the best of his ability Ruskin has brought six years to win his wife's affection and the much much he has had. Some of the same degree, with hers, but failed. When youth beauty and vigor corresponding to her own name, it was Ruskin's life in the person who must be the best of his life at the artist. John Everett Millis, she looked on him and loved him, and when he looked on her, he loved the strengthway, and when Ruskin's new life was long, he was really been any marriage which had never really been any marriage at all, was arrived at, and was still the most important life. As his son Ruskin's life was back to life, as he was the son with his wife, again and after a time she who had been called Mrs. Ruskin became Mrs. Millis. A radiantly happy wife, whose long years of life were based bliss are known to all the world today.

Let us know that he has been included in the gentle and tender quality in the nature, and character of Senator Ingalls which he did in the early years of his career. The country looked upon him as a man of phenomenal brilliance, with a tendency to satire and keen excoriation, and a common sense of the man who was the one of them and his competitors in debate, and which drew to the Senate galleries thousands of auditors whenever it was now. He was very special to be able that his power for withering inve vi in the most of the language was not equaled by any his contemporaries. He was not equaled with the most inlawless man of deep and responsive affection, and as a reflective individual, alive to all the human interests of the country. He has been prepared for his devoted wife has to deal. The following letter affords an illustration of the phase of her husband's charaguan which Mrs Ingalls desires to embassage.

ROMANCE-OF THE COMMONPLACE. The Romance of the Commonplace. By Gelett Burges. $150. San Francisco. This is a volume of modern philosophy, which ranks in that class of essays made by many authors. Gelett says many clever things in his book. and one may glance at any chapter and discover many common manners. "The desire to tell secrets," writes the author, "is a common manner. Some vigorous moral constitutions never succumb. Our work stepping it, and a secret on the ransage is well night irresistible. Tell your friend how until it does out. But above all never confide it to her who asserts she never has the power to seize a seed sown in fortile ground, it will germinate and flower long after you have forfeited it and bring forth fruit you never planted." Again: "Flattery is, however, an edged tool, and must be used with care. It is not everyone who has the tact to decide the chance just how much his victim will stand." The author treats of art, science and literature with such a delicate, frontationalness and withal, with so much of masterful art as to lender this book of unusual interest. THE PHILOSOPHY OF DESPAIR. The Philosophy of Despair. By David Starr Jordan, Disc. San Francisco. Elder & Shepherd. The "Philosophy of Despair," by David Starr Jordan is one of the very interesting and notable books of the year. Reading its pages and thinks of the great success of the working not only because of the style but because it possesses all the depth and lucidity of Ruskin. "To the pessimistic philosopher the progress of the race is a mere illusion. Every creature must fit itself to its environment or pass away. The beast fits the forest for the same reason that the river of a river will be used." In this life, the life is only possible under the rare conditions in which life is not destroyed. In this volume the learned author says many novel things in a manner so entirely novel as to the most concise that there is something "new under the sun". It is essentially a volume which appeals to the masses. The simplicity of style and freedom from literary convention puts the books within the reach of all under UNFETTERED. Unfettered by Sutton E.

Monday, January 25, 1909, Bishop A. Walters, Chairman, presiding. It was decided to hold the next annual meeting of the National Afro-American Council at Louisville, Ky., July 7, 1908. The arrangements for the meeting are in the hand of a committee of which William H. Steward, Esq., editor of The American Baptist, Louisville, Ky., is chairman. Disfranchisement is to be the paramount theme for discussion. Each person on the program will be limited to twenty minutes and all speeches must be in manuscript. Monday night a public meeting was held. Acting President William A. Pledger, of Georgia, presiding over George W. Lee, H. L. Johnson, Esq., Hon John C. Dancy, James H. Hayes, Esq., Gov. P. B. S. Pinchback and Bishop Walters. A musical and literary program was rendered by prominent local The public press of the country contained inaccurate and misleading reports of this meeting. Some of the statements made by the committee tell the story that the Executive Committee planned an "office trust," to pass upon the fitness of Afro-American applicants for public office. No such scheme was ever undertaken by the United Nations Committee. The National Afro-American Council is not in the office brokerage business. Its central thought is the uplifting and development of the Afro-American people. The National Afro-American Council is the battle of the race must be fought in the arena of public opinion, with skill, courage and intelligence, and must be persistently waged until a healthy public sentiment is created, which will eventually even rights to every man of every race. The Committee adopted the following address to the country: ADDRESS TO THE COUNTRY. It is evident to the thoughtful among us that passing through one of the most critical periods of our existence in this country. Questions that immediately preceded the adoption of treatment as early as the eighth of the United States and scarcely to less degree the whole population of the country can be answered to the extent mankind teaches that in public matters the liberty and safety of all the members of society. If it be true that the country can be saved, mankind still follows a necessary coyardial that the manhood of no state can with safety be divided in nearly equal portions. A systematic effort has been inaugurated on the part of the South which has for its object the withdrawal of the francs in the 1930s of the 1940s of the 1950s, and their reduction to a position of absolute subserviality in all relations of the services of the services of the business and wealth have been denied the right of franchise. It has been openly declared by some of the most prominent persons of the S. J. S. of the 1940s, the intention of the framers of the new constitutions to disfranchise as many of the American as possible and leave to C. Caucasian the possession of suffrage. The effect has been that not only has the Afro-American been disfranchised but also has a very large number of men who would be the adoption of these constitutions participated in elections, have ceased to register and vote, and thus the very foundation of the African institutions have been rendered insecure. We contend for our constitutional rights on the ground that the right of the age of the 1940s is the individual sovereignty of the American citizen which in turn is the basis of the aggregate law of the country. The Act of 1940 was not a separate policy to limit a solidist, has been conferred upon its citizens by the Federal Government. The powers of the Federal Government were in effect by the Act of 1940, but by the Act of 1940 of the states, therefore the National Government can enforce the provisions of the Constitution. Recently commend the Afro-Americans of Virginia, Alabama, Louisiana, and other states, who are seeking redress through the courts of the land and weiredge them our moral and financial support. We denounce the mob murders now so prevalent in this country. We call the attention of the country to a condition of service on many farms in a number of the Southern states reservation and in violation of the Thirteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution, and ask the evil to permit our protest against the unfair practices in the transportation of passengers in the railroad industry against Afro-Americans; requiring of them the highest rates for accommodations in carriage; and we invoke the exercise of the powers of the federal government to prevent discriminations in rates and accommodations against inter-state passengers. Congress of the United States for favorable action upon the several measures now pending therein for the improvement of railroad accommodations into the condition of the Afro-Americans. We heartily endorse the deliverances of the fitness for appointment of the officer, and the attitude of the Federal Government race or color. He has imparted new life and vigor to the time-honored principles given hope, and imputed to a people struggling heroically beneath the burden of the Thirteenth Amendment.

To the, Officers, and Members, a, the National Afro-American Council: As I shall leave the United St. "as shortly for the far East, to be abate, perhaps six months, my last thought in doing so is the Afro-American Council and its future well-being, as the primary object is the preservation and proper defense of the civil and political rights of the Afro-American people. My best thought, sympathy and effort have been devoted, during the past twelve years,—dating from the organization of the National Afro-American Council to the paramount necessity of effective race organization for mutual protection and defense of civil rights and mutual interests. Effective organization is the only supreme power in modern society. The greatest misfortune of our nation is the failure to size and live up to this principle of social security and progress. We have depended too much upon others to do for us what we could and should do for ourselves. Mankind is selfish by nature and the enforced conditions of social life; and the man or man made to suffer from the sorrow that other are to busy to attend to them for them.

JOSEPH MURPHY. At Grand Opera House, St. Paul. Joseph Murphy, the popular Irish comedy star, will begin next Sunday night a week's engagement. He will also present his favorite Irish dramas, "Shaun Rhue" and "Kerry Gow." Mr. Murphy is as well known as any actor on the stage, and he will be entertaining merits as an entertainer. His art is Up-to-date Tramp. Lady of the House—See here! I want you to come on ball. Don't you come to be again. Tramp (a joker)—Very well, madam, and cross it if you visit my living room.

He is not artificial, but the simply the living and moving embodiment of the character he is impersonating. He has a musical voice, a pleasing personality and above all, never panders to the public. I won't caring for a refined performance. "Shaun Rhue" is one of those homely Irish dramas that always appeals to the heart and as "Shaun Rhue" (Red John) Mr. Murphy is able to teach the audience how to laughter and tears. Laughter follows his droll wit Iwit, and tears the moment of paths, particularly when driven from home he visits the grave of his mother, and picking up some of the earth, sings that pathetic line, which never fails to make a splendid impression. "Kerry Gow" is an Irish play similar to "Shaun Rhue," but shows the favorite actor in a role equally as strong as Kerry, blacksmith, with his stout arm, helping to help anyone in distress. As "Dan O'Dara" he is full of Irish vim and wit, and his impersonation is artistic and true. The engagement will be for one week with the usual Wednesday and Saturday matines. **BULL CON ALWAYS LANDS,'EM.** When a man is complimel, he may not swallow it all, but he thinks there is something in it.—Atchison Globe. infants' mammals are mounded more by excess of parents than by the stars in the sky. ALEXANDER WALTERS. Chairman Executive Committee. CYRUS FIELD ADAMS. The main difficulty with and drawback to the National Afro-American Council today is that it has no substantial basic organization.

Judge Knott (sleepily)—Can't help that. Court has adjourned. AT THE REHEARSAL. money. Its annual conventions are delegates representing business and composed of fraternal delegates and professional interests, who are willing to pay $5 for participation in the deliberation of the convention and who cease to be active members when the national board of the organization really constitutes the only membership of the National Council from the adjournment of one annual convention to the assembling of another; with the exception, of course, of the state council in California, which has changed from the Afro-American League of California to the National Council in California at a state convention held since the adjournment of the National Council, at St. Paul, last August. No organization constituted as the National Afro-American Council is today, as to its basic membership, can do the important work mapped out by its founders and expected by the population in this large area. This latter will be approved by the next annual convention, and hoping that it will result in a basic membership of the council, and basing my action primarily on Article VI of the plan of state organization of the National Afro-American Council is the following plan of local organization: 1. Ten persons should be competent to organize a local council circle to be offered as provided for in Article II of the by-laws for local organization the local circle to be restricted in membership to ten persons, such local council conventions upon payment of assessment provided in Article XVIII of plan of state organization and to one He Knew.

Women may organize separate local councils, precisely the same conditions prescribed for men in specification 1 herewith. 3. Ten circles may organize a state council, as provided by Article IX of the national constitution. I sincerely hope, in every community where there are ten persons congenent to each other, in the face of the race, that they will at once organize a local council circle. I am reasonably certain that the women of the race will take hold of the work. When the council meets next year at Louisville there should be at least five hundred circles reported and represented.

Hayes, the lawyer whose speech at the meeting of the Afro- American Council in Washington, has created a stir in the South, and brought to him an offer of $2,000 to repeat the speech before a New Or- leans club, mailed an acceptance of the offer, but varying the matter of a pecuniary consideration. Mr. Hayes' letter is as follows: Washington, Jan. 29, 1903. To the Coliseum Club. Gentlemen: I am willing to come to New Orleans at any time you may designate, at my own expense, and deliver before you and in your hall—not the unfair, disconnected, perverted and garbled statement spoken but, rather, verbatim speech delivered before the American Council, Monday night. Knowing that you are Southern gentlemen, and although you may not entirely agree with me, yet I know that I will have nothing to fear at the hands of men who compose the brain, culture, refinement and Christianity of the South, and whose inborn sense of fair play will cause them to listen calmly, even to a negro's cause. Respectfully. JAMES H. HAYES. The offer to which Mr. Hayes' letter is the reply which will give in a dispatch to The Washington Post to this effect: New Orleans, La., Jan. 28. The Coliseum Club will give Nigger Hayes $3,000 and transportation to New Orleans if he will deliver in our hall his speech verbatim as delivered before Afro-American Council in Washington on the 26th.

UNCLE REST Recent dispatches from Washington state some Afro-Americans proposed to President Roosevelt the formation of an Afro-American central committee to pass upon the fitness of all Afro-American candidates for official recognition.

As the time for the primaries approaches the political pot boils more fiercely. Graeme Stewart is not talking much but his friends are very busy "sawing wood." Harlan is making what might be properly termed a strenuous fight for the mayoralty. A Harlan club is being organized among the Afro-American voters of the Second ward. Mayor Harrison is doubtless passing some sleepless nights about this time and all on account of that man Darrow. Should Darrow make the race for mayor on a Union Labor ticket Harrison knows that he cannot win. Hence those tears. The collection of personal taxes by the county treasurer began this week. The dear public is cordially invited to walk up and plank down. Whether the primaries shall be early, with a long campaign, or late, with a short campaign, is a question that is disturbing the minds of the politicians. City Treasurer Gunther is being groomed by the Burke-Hopkins faction of the Democracy to pit against Harrison. The fact that Gunther refused to sign a Harrison petition is significant. “Tan” Bowman was in the city this week and reports business very dull between Chicago and the Coast. WITH every step, the sole of your shoe must bend. The proper place for it to bend is at the "ball" of the foot—never at the instep. To make it bend at the "ball" things are necessary: the sole must be extremely flexible while the shank or arch must be extremely rigid. Most shoes bend at the shank, thus losing their shapeliness and tiring the weak arch of the foot. That is what makes walking for most women so fatiguing. The "Dorothy Dodd" shoe has a shank that supports the weak arch firmly. It will not bend. The method of sewing the shank is different from the ordinary—it is sewn through and through—making a strong, firm shank than cannot be obtained any other way. It has a sole that is extremely flexible and will bend. The Plymouth The Plymouth Corner, Seventh and Robert. Agents for the Cross Stoves and Ranges And Thatcher Furnaces.
