PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. Treat each man according to his worth as a man. Distrust all who would have any one class placed before any other. Other republics have fallen because the unscrupulous have substituted loyalty to class for loyalty to the people as a whole. —President Roosevelt's speech at Little Rock, Ark. SATURDAY, APRIL 4, 1908. JEFF DAVIS DOWNED. The very interesting news comes up from Arkansas that Jeff Davis has been knocked entirely out of the ring in the Democratic primaries. Jeff deserted his post in Washington some weeks ago and has been "slashing" around among the hillbillies trying to induce them to elect his man Kirby to the office of Governor. His object, of course, was to pave the way for re-election as Senator at the expiration of his present term. But the high-collared roosters had it in for him and downed him in great shape. There were three candidates in the field and the man Jeff was fighting received more votes than both of the opposing candidates. So Jeff's hopes have gone glimmering and Arkansas has taken the first step toward ridding herself of a great nuisance. A resident of Seattle recently gave the Herald the following interesting information respecting the 30,000 Japanese residents of that city: "Among other things, they take an active and observant interest in everything that the government is doing at Puget Sound.

His ad greatest in American history. The Illinois Republican convention at Springfield placed Joseph G. Cannon in nomination for President by instructing its four delegates at large to the national convention to cast their ballots for him for the stand-ard bearer. The men chosen as delegates at large are United States Senators Shelby M. Cullom and Albert J. Hopkins, Governor Charles S. Deneen and Mayor Fred A. Buse of Chicago. The alternates at large are: Judge Marshall Hodson of Galena; Colonel John R. Marshall, Chicago; Charles G. Eckart, Tuscola, and E. H. Smiley of St. Clair county. President Is Indorsed. That we indorse the administration of President Roosevelt for its energy and success, for recommending to Congress many measures of the greatest benefit to the general welfare, and for vigorously enforcing the law on the statute books and striving to bring about that ideal condition of the nation wherein each citizen shall be equal before the law and give equal obedience to the law. His administration will stand as one of the greatest in American history. Cannon for President. The loyal and able services of Speaker Joseph G. Cannon are well known; also his efforts for good government, for safe business and better conditions of labor, and his loyal support of Presidents Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Arthur, Harrison, McKinley and Roosevelt are matters of history. He has advocated, voted for, and put his impress upon all the laws for public welfare written upon the statute books of the United States for over a third of a century. President Roosevelt himself tells the case how faithfully and efficiently Speaker Joseph G. Cannon in his great work, and no more disposed to carry forward those great re- to the front and moves forward. The loyal and able services of the nation; also his efforts for good good conditions of labor, and his loyal super field, Arthur, Harrison, McKinley a. He has advocated, voted for, and public welfare written upon the state over a third of a century. President how faithfully and efficiently Speaker great work, and no one is more dispro forma or better prepared to do so than to the front and moves forward. And believing that Speaker Can't be the party's national standard be fore we unequivocally instruct our de convention to convene at Chicago Ju Joseph G. Cannon and to use every nation, and we carnely request our influence in support of his candidacy. Stand for We stand for those ideals of gov- and fair dealing among men, the c American in every state. Believing in intelligence, industry and good encouragement of the nation, and to have for their real aim his disfrane are unfair, un-American, and repugn we favor the reduction of representa leges in all the states of this Union disfranchised, to the end that the for- fication of the United States may be a spirit. And believing that Speaker Cannon is eminently fitted in every way to be the party's national standard bearer in the campaign of 1908, therefore we unequivocally instruct our delegates and alternates to the national convention to convene at Chicago June 16 to cast their votes for the Hon Joseph G. Cannon and assume his honorable means to secure their nomination. We regularly request our district delegates to use their united influence in support of his candidacy. Stand for Justice. We stand for those ideals of government which mean justice, equality, and fair dealing among men, the civil and political rights of the Afro-American in every state. Believing as we do that his marvelous progress in intelligence, industry and good citizenship has earned the respect and encouragement of the nation, and that those legislative enactments that have for their real aim his disfranchisement for reasons of color alone are unfair, un-American, and repugnant to the supreme law of the land, we favor the reduction of representation in Congress and the electoral colleges in all the states of this Union where white and colored citizens are disfranchised, to the end that the fourteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States may be enforced according to its letter and spirit. Instruction, a number of Japanese from Seattle were arrested a few days ago on the fort ground and reservations. PEAL as about the best joke of the season. If there is any person in the United States who ought to hold his peace about inflammatory speeches "Each man had concealed about him a quantity of loose powder. Upon further investigation it was found that more of the explosive was hidden about their cabins. More startling, indeed, was the discovery that in each and every one of these 3,000 homes there was one regulation army rifle and a uniform of the Mikado's army." There are a good many reasons for supposing that the Japanese are anticipating war with the United States sooner or later. The most important one is the hatred the Japanese have for the Americans because they are treated as inferior beings. It is the siliest of silly things to suppose that this intense hatred does not exist—it is self-evident and needs no proof. Japan clearly sees a future contest between herself and the United States for the control of the Pacific and is preparing for it, despite her impoverished condition. She not only purposes to shut the United States out from trade with China, but is actually doing so at the present time. Senator Tillman has arisen in the Senate and made his solemn protest against the president's "scolding messages and inflammatory speeches appealing to the unthinking and ignorant masses." All of which strikes THE AP- --- M. H. HON. ALBERT J. HOPKINS. "We also indorse the record of our junior Senator, Albert J.

If there is any person in the United States who ought to hold his peace about inflammatory speeches, that man is Senator Tillman, for he made it his business for years to roam around the country delivering speeches which were direct incentives to mob law and other violence. One of his most brilliant performances was the speech in which he depicted the Senate as a minstrel show with himself as the end man. "Mr. Beveridge. Was not Mr. Cleveland President? Mr. Tillman. He was not a Democrat. Mr. Beveridge. What was he—a mugwump President? Mr. Tillman. He was some kind of a thing: I do not know what." Mr. Cleveland evidently disagrees with Senator Tillman and regards himself as a Democrat of the first water, for he has just issued an address to the party advising it to be conservative. We much fear that that advice will waste its sweetness on the desert air, for Bryan is in the saddle and is belaboring the Democratic jackass with whip and spur. A rather singular race riot occurred in North Carolina, in which a colony of Greeks was attacked by a mob composed of many Afro-Americans and a few whites. Three of the Greeks were fatally wounded and Greece has made formal complaint to the United States government. --- MARS' SEASONS. Vital in the Negative Economy of the Bugatse Year. Were Mars not an old planet, corroborating by absence of cloud the general course of planetary development, our knowledge of it would have been slight. To begin with, it enables us to mark the permanency in place of the planet's features, and so to time their axial rotation, by which we come to knowledge of the little from our own in duration, being 24 hours, 40 minutes long, instead of 24 hours. Next it discloses the tilt of the axis to the planet's orbital plane, a relation which causes the seasons of the year. Now the martian tilt, as well as the martian time of rotation, turns out to be singularly like our own, in fact 24 degrees as against 23.1.2 degrees for the earth. The year of Mars, however, is twice ours in length, which, joined to great eccentricity of orbit, gives it diversifiedly long, seasons. Thus in the northern hemisphere spring lasts 199 days, summer 183, autumn 147 and winter 158, while in its Southern hemisphere the figures stand reversed. The numbers have more than academic importance, for absolute length is as vital a factor in a season's influence as the fact of the season itself. Much may be brought to pass in twice the time which could not develop in the shorter period. And it is not a little interesting that precisely this possibility actually turns out to be vital in the vegetative economy of the planet's year. SCOTLAND'S BIRTH RATE. Population is Decreasing in Both Town and Country. Scotland's birth rate is decreasing both in town and country, being by far the lowest in the rural districts and the highest in the "large town" districts. The population at the end of 1905, according to the recently published report of the register general, was 4,676,603, an increase of about 200,000 since 1901 and of 650,000 since 1891. A century ago Scotland had 1,608,420 inhabitants. The increase, in recent years especially, is due entirely to the rapid growth of the large city of Glasgow and one or two other big towns that have been built THE LIFE OF JOHN W. HARRIS WILLIAM H.

For the rural districts show the same tendency to depopulation that they do in Ireland and England. The difference between Ireland and Scotland in the matter of population is essentially one of large cities. MOST SUICIDES IN VIENNA. More Men Than Women—Greatest Number Last April. Among all the European capitals Vienna has long enjoyed an unenvy Caves of a Cannibal Race. Strange evidence of cannibalism have been brought to light with the recent opening up of caves at One Tree Hill, Maunggakkiele, New South Wales, and another link has been added to the chain of interest encircling this celebrated spot. In one cave great piles of human bones have been discovered, mixed up indiscriminately and thrown down in one huge conical heap. These bones belonged to victims taken by the Maorls in battle and slaughtered for culinary purposes. Then they were dropped down the funnelshaped mouth of the cave into darkness and oblivion. While out shooting partridges with three guns we were walking a small field of roots when we flushed a covey of five birds. They rose singly, and we killed four of them. The fifth being hard hit, carried on some little way and dropped in a patch of bramble, where we afterward found it. On examination of the five birds, two had no feet, only stumps, the two others had only one leg each, and the fifth was the only perfect bird among them. They were all old ones and the stumps were quite healed, though rather clubbed at the end. Galvania Discovered Galvanism. Galvanism owes its origin to Mme, Galvania noticing the contraction of the muscles of a skinned frog, which was accidentally touched by a person at the moment the professor (her husband) was taking an electric spark from the machine. This hint was followed up by experiments. By the use of steam launches in the rubber industry on the upper Amazon, the town of Iquitos has risen to such importance that a monthly steamship service has been established between that town and Liverpool, only rubber being carried.

"Wot a pull he must have!" Rivalry. "I concede," he said sarcastically, "that women lie more cleverly than men." "Your concession," she replied sweetly, "in itself upsets your theory." This Is a Bad One. "New York is first Republican and then Democratic, a chameleon state." "Ah, yes. And can the chameleon change its Hughes?" WELCOME MILESTONES They Always Gladden the Heart of the Pedestrian. In a walking trip a milestone along the way is the most companionable fellow in the world; your spirits rise as you near him as though you were about to greet a human friend, and they keep almost consistently on this high level till his brother a mile distant advances to meet you. And when you overlook one of this friendly company because of an encreaching bank or screening boughs, says the Travel Magazine, his neighbor further on comes to you doubly welcome. At the tatter end of this passage in the journey your spirits tag a trifle as though oppressed by a sense of desertion. You may even scowl at the overhanging bank which is more than a party to this concealment. Those worthy persons who attend to the roads should see to it that every milestone within their province stands out frankly from its leafy background. Observance of this, however, would rob the wayfarer of that leap of the heart which is his when the stone tells the story of two miles done rather than one. For however much the landscape and the minute world at his feet may claim the footrafter's admiration he is still keenly alive to the virtue of decent distances covered in his day's journey. ```markdown ``` MOST SUICIDES IN VIENNA. More Men Than Women—Greatest Number Last April. Among all the European capitals Vienna has long enjoyed an unavenable pre-eminence for its number of suicides, says Pall Mall Gazette. Unfortunately, the figures for last year tend to enhance this reputation. The official records show that 365 men and 108 women committed suicide, as compared with 315 men and 110 women in 1906, a total increase of 39. Besides this, there were no fewer than 739 attempts at suicide, 441 by men and 298 by women. The preponderance of men over women appears somewhat striking—three to one—but taking the cases of actual suicides and attempts together, this proportion is reduced to less than two to one. Illness and mental disorders were responsible for more than a fourth of the total suicides; unhappy love affairs accounted for 25, poverty for 32 and dissatisfaction with their surroundings for 35. The highest number of suicides took place in April, 61, and the lowest in May and September, with 31 each. SOUNDPROOF ROOMS OF OAK. A Subterranean Refuge From Thunder in a Mansion. If Mrs. Isaac L. Rice is opposed to noises, so also is Mr. Rice, at least when he is playing chess. In the house on Riverside drive which he has just sold there is one noiseproof room, says the New York Sun. It is hewn out of solid rock under the house and its roof and entrances are so arranged that no noise can reach the occupants. The room was built to gratify Mr. Rice's cheb habits. Every week for some time the leading players of New York meet there. There is another subterranean room in a Westchester mansion. The idea was to create a room light and sound proof to be used as a place of seclusion when lightning flashed and thunder roared and the elements made things unpleasant for people who had nerves. It is said that hardly a sound of the heaviest thunder reaches the ears of any occupant. Candles light it. In Rangoon motoring flourishes extensively.

The leading man of the "Through Death Valley" company, which commences a week's engagement at the Grand tomorrow matinee, must be something of a snake charmer as well as an actor of ability. In the most thrilling scene of the play he and a rattlesnake are the conspicuous characters on the stage. As a unique form of torture both man and snake have been tied to stakes, so placed that the snake's head comes within an inch of the hero's face. The wily Indian who has contrived this scheme of death knows that with the first rain the snake's body will become elongated and that he will bury his fangs in his neighbor's cheek. It is absolutely necessary for the effective development of this scene to employ a real snake, and since at the climax of the scene the snelle head is shot off just as it is about to accomplish the death of the hero, the snake does not last longer than one performance. Consequently a part of the equipment of the "Through Death Valley" company is a case of rattlesnakes that have been carefully attended to by a snake dentist, thereby suffering the loss of its fangs. A two weeks' supply is usually carried with the company. The stock is reollened in lots of twenty-five. For emergency purposes a "prop" snake is carried with the company, but up-to-date this understudy has not been called upon to do service. written at this branch, which is on the GROUND FLOOR of the KEN-DRICK HOTEL, just inside the door. The growth of the company during the last two months has been phenomenal; almost all the Afro-Americans seem to have made up their tails to go into the Cosmopolitan at the same time. A little more organized effort on the part of all concerned and we will soon have thousands of dollars coming into St. Paul to be spent that has hitherto been going out of our hands into those of people over whom we have absolutely no control. Let the Afro-Americans ORGANIZE the Expenditure of Their Money. See our report for the year on 4th page. Office: Room 7? Union Block. Thomas R. Morgan, Secretary-Treasurer.

Common sea water, which centuries ago was a popular remedy in sickness, has revived its usefulness lately. In addition to common salt sea water contains many important mineral substances, the total solid matter amounting to 3.2 to 3.8 per cent. Sea water has been given with good results in cases of dysaepia, loss of appetite and tuberculosis. In general, says the British Medical Journal, the appetite was improved and strength was rapidly engaged. In order to obtain the best and most immediate results it is necessary to observe certain precautions. The sea water must be natural, as it is impossible to imitate so complex a liquid. Indeed it has been proved that sea salt when dissolved in distilled water lacks some of the properties of natural sea water, exerting a tonic action upon a dog when injected subcutaneously. It must be freshly collected, as it loses carbon dioxide on standing, with precipitation of some of its sales. It should be taken from the open sea, remote from rivers and other sources of pollution. It should be sterilized by filtration, as heat dissociates the bicarbonates and destroys the natural equilibrium of the liquid. When required for subcutaneous injection it should be diluted with water to the same concentration as normal blood serum. Distilled water is not suitable for its dilution, as it sometimes causes pain. THE PROFESSOR WAITED. Trick of a Harvard Student Who Didn't Want to Attend a Lecture. A new sort of duplicity among college men was uncovered when the Harvard Crimson recently printed the following: "There appeared In yesterday's Crimson a notice stating that there would be no meeting in Music 3. Prof. Spalding, whose name was signed to the notice but who had nothing to do with the insertion, waited in vain for his class. It is with chagrin that we must publicly announce that there is still among us a pan who stoops to forgery as a means of avoiding attendance at his lectures. Afraid to face the result of his own cuts, he has adopted the method of the coward." Forgery is rather a new crime in colleges, at least forgery with no attempt to gain money as its object Way to Detect Smokeless Powder. German military authorities are experimenting with a device by which the location of troops using smokeless powder may be easily discovered. By this device it is proposed to survey the landscape through pale red glasses. The flash of smokeless powder appears strong in red light, while ordinary objects are dimmed. By furnishing field glasses with the device in question, which is provided with screens of the proper tint, the position of concealed marksmans can be detected. A Town With a $30,000 License Waycross, Ga., with a population of 9,000, has no poorhouse, nine out of ten of the white population own their own homes and 33 per cent of the children attend school. Incidentally it may be stated that the saloon license has annually for the last sixteen years been fixed at $30,000—and no one has offered to pay the amount for the privilege of opening a saloon. In Bohemia. The attic poet tote, with a faint ripping sound, a dangling thread from the sawlake edge of his cuff. "You can't express the value of spring poem like this in terms of mere dollars," he said. "No, you can't," the editor asserted. "Fifty cents, and not a penny more, is what the thing is worth. Shall I write you an order?" The youth eagerly assented. The First Metal-Type Book. The Mazarin Bible was the earliest book printed with movable type. It is without date, but takes its name from the Bibliotheque Mazarin, founded in Paris by Cardinal Mazarin in 1648. This is said to be the dearest book ever sold, a copy of it having brought $29,500 at Quartitch's, London, in 1884. A Splendid Timekeeper. The world's best timekeeper is said to be the electric clock in the base-ment of the Berlin Observatory, which was installed by Prof. Forster in 1865. It is enclosed in an air-tight glass cylinder, and has frequently run for periods of two or three months with an average daily deviation of only .015 of a second. Women Porters. In Java women and young girls do all the work of porters, carrying heavy loads on their heads with great skill. As soon as a Javanese girl can walk she is taught the art of carrying things in that way. "You know the old saying," began Kwoter. "Take care of the pennies and—" "And," interrupted Galley, "the dollar lars will take care of your heirs." Sparsely Populated.
