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, AUGUST 15, 1908. HERR WEISMAN'S THEORY Herr Weisman, a very wise er otherwise German has promulgated the theory that while man's body is not immortal, a part of it is, and this part, which the German savant calls the germplasm, "is handed down immortal and continuous, from generation to generation, unbroken and unchanged—except in certain circumstances—by the adventures of the body itself in the surroundings, or environment, in which it lives." One Lane, a Southern writer adopts this theory and evolves from it the following conclusion: "But to attempt the civilization of the Chinese, the Japanese, the Negro, or the Malay, in the belief that they may be elevated to an equality with the white man, is a hopeless and senseless undertaking, because racial differences go to the very origin of life, and are found to exist in the very substance from generation to generation." Now in the case of the Japanese, it is an admitted fact that in discipline and patrolism they are far ahead of the white man. To ignore such evident facts and to adopt an absurd theory of a body partly mortal [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. HON. WILLIAM H. TAFT Next President of the United States. and partly immortal does not seem to accord with the canons of good sense. been transferred and his salary ra $3,000 per annum ANENT PUSHKIN. "Prince Sergius Wolkonsky, grandfather of the Boston lecturer, and also, unless I am much mistaken, of the prince who has just arrived in this country, was the most intimate friend of the great Russian poet Pushkin, and was connected with the uprising of the so-called Decembrists—great nobles who in 1825 objected to the elimination of the Czarovitch Constantine from the succession in favor of his younger brother, Nicholas I." The above occurs in a recent article of the Marquise de Fontenoy, in reference to a Russian prince who has been lecturing in this "country, and "The Appeal" quotes it as being a somewhat peculiar introduction to the American people. As is well known, "the great Russian poet, Pushkhn," was a "nigger." It is also well known that there is a sprinkling of African blood among several of the aristocratic and royal families of Europe. Wouldn't it be funny were some of our American heiresses who are so crazy after a title should marry a foreigner and subsequently discover him to be a "nigger?" HON. ALBERT Endorsed by the People of PETER H. H. HON. ALBERT J. HOPKINS. Endorsed by the People of Illinois at the Primaries. Bryan in his speech of acceptance blames the Republican party for all the ills which the people of the United States suffer; and, of course, incidentally, intimates, to put it mildly, that the panacea for our woes is, to elect him and place the Democratic party at the helm of the ship of state. We have heard somewhere that 'tis better to suffer the woes we now know, than to fly to those we know not of and we are firmly of the opinion that we voice the sentiments of the people when we say that to elect Bryan would surely be "jumping out of the frying pan into the fire." We are decidedly inclined to "let well enough alone." RIGHTS OF AFRO-AM "The republican platform to these amendments to stitution that were past republican party for a nation of the Afro-American, in the 19th century he was freed fro has made remarkable. He is becoming a more valuable member of the communities in which he educates the Afro-America is being expanded and in every way. The be both races, at the nor as at the south, ought to see growing up a southern people an infl Hoax Smith, who was knocked out in the Georgia primaries by Joseph M. Brown is optimistic in the hour of his defeat. He says: "We must remain steadfast in our devotion to purity in election and government, and to the rights of the masses of the people." And then continues: "We must seek to ratify the disfranchisement amendment at the October election." Rather queer way to "remain steadfast to the rights of the people." The Administration is giving the Afro-Americans in the consular service a square deal. George H. Jackson of Connecticut, former U. S. Consul at La Rochelle, France, has --- been transferred to Cognac, France, and his salary raised from $2,500 to $3,000 per annum. It is possible that "Little Joe" Brown, who recently defeated Gov. Hoke Smith of Georgia for a renomination may not prove to be any better than Smith, but it is a great satisfaction to know that at least we will be rid of Smith. The news men of Russia, when it comes to writing about the Jews, are a close second to our own associated press liars when they write about Afro-Americans. As a judge, Mr. Taft was quite as ready to protect the rights under the law of the weakest man in the community as well as those of property. It is no,good for the newspapers to condemn lynching so long as they are so bitterly opposed to the punishment of the lynchers. The prospect of Taft for President means good times. The people look forward to an era of prosperity. Judge Taft is a quiet unassuming American gentleman. J. HOPKINS. Illinois at the Primaries. RIGHTS OF AFRO-AMERICANS. "The republican party refers to these amendments to the Constitution that were passed by the republican party for the protection of the Afro-American. The Afro-American, in the forty years since he was freed from slavery, has made remarkable progress. He is becoming a more and more valuable member of the communities in which he lives. The education of the Afro-American is being expanded and improved in every way. The best men of both races, at the north as well as at the south, ought to rejoice to see growing up among the southern people an influential element disposed to encourage the Afro-American in his hard struggle for industrial independence and assured platform status. Adopted at Chicago, explicitly demands justice for all men without regard to race or color, and just as explicitly declares for the enforcement, and without reservation, in letter and spirit of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution. It is needless to state that I stand with my party squarely on that plank in the platform, and believe that equal justice to all men and the fair and impartial enforcement of these amendments are in keeping with the real American spirit of fair play.—Hon. W. H. Taft's letter for Presidency. Republican nomination for Presidency. --- M. H. Chairman of the Republican National Committee, Who Will Lead the Republican Party to Victory in November.

The Ninth Annual meeting of the National Afro-American Business League is to be held in the city of Baltimore, Maryland, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 19th, 20th and 21st, 1908. The day sessions of the League will be held in the Sharp Street Methodist Episcopal Church. All of the night sessions are to be held in Richmond Market Hall, formerly used by the Crack Fifth Regiment of Baltimore and recently by the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, Richmond Market Hall is one of the most satisfactory assembly rooms in the whole city of Baltimore. The League is affiliated to the Baltimore Business League, of which Mr. Harry T. Pratt is President, for securing this splendid hall for the use of the League. His Honor, Mayor J. Barry Mahool, aided the Baltimore League in having this hall secured for the meetings. Upon petition of Mr. Pratt and other members of the Local Business League, the City Council of Baltimore has passed two resolutions of interest to the organization, one providing for the electrical illumination by the city of Lrud Hill Avenue during the sessions of the National Business League and the other, for the use of the largest steamer belonging to the City Harbor Board during Convenience Walk. Honorable Harry S. Cummings, a member of the City Council, has given the weight of his influence toward having these two resolutions passed by the City Council. The citizens of Baltimore are well organized in various committees and are earnestly at work arranging the details of entertainment, etc., for the delegates. Officers, Life Members and Delegates, who are intending to be present, are urged to write Dr. Louis H. Fenderson, 1418 Drudl Hill Avenue, Baltimore, advising him of such intention, so that proper accommodata HON. FRANK Chairman of the Republican National publican Party to V tions may be provided. The far-reaching influence of the National Business League assures an attendance at Baltimore second to that of no former session of the organization. Reduced rates will be secured from almost every section of the country. It is altogether possible, however, for groups of individuals coming from such centers as Chicago, Indianapolis, Louisville, Atlanta, Birmingham, St Louis, New Orleans, Little Rock, Nashville, Chattanooga, Jackson, Memphis, Kansas City, and other cities to secure such special excursion to Washington, Baltimore, New York and Atlantic City. By arranging for stop-over privileges, delegates will be enabled to make the trip to Baltimore at an expense lower than the usual one and one-third rate, and at the same time Visit the National Capital. Delegates are especially urged to begin making arrangements at once for special Pullman and Coach accommodations to Baltimore. If delegations are organized in each of the states they can arrange for special Pullman and other accommodations, securing privacy, comfort and congenial companionship en route. Local Business Leagues are urged to begin selecting delegates at once. The number of all delegates thus selected should be forwarded to the Corresponding Secretary, Mr. Emmett I. Scott, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. Mr. C. F. Adams, 924 S Street, N. W., Washington, D. C., will be pleased to co-operate in any way possible with city or state delegations in making THE NEW YORK TIMES transportation arrangements.

Clemens, Mich. Here is a place for seekers after rest, quiet and health. There H. HITCHCOCK. Committee, Who Will Lead the Re-ictory in November. are six bath tubs for the mineral baths, twenty-one bed rooms, a dining room seating forty persons. The health giving waters of Mt. Clemens are known all over the world, and they sink on the hotel grounds to supply the guests with mineral water cost nearly $5,000. Such an enterprise should receive encouragement from those who are in need of just a place. S. G. B. Information Wanted I am seeking my father, George R. West. His father's name was George west and his mother was Jane Coffey. He has several brothers and sisters: Daniel and Willie West and Bettie, Georgia, Priscilla and Jonathan West. I last heard of him at Vandale, Ark. My mother's name was Sarah Wortham. I have two sisters, Willie and Mimie West. Any information will be gratefully received by Hollie West, Mantee, Oklahoma. SOUTH DEGRADES RACE. "It seems to me that if the South persists in its present attitude it will inevitably degrade the Afro-American, taking from him all incentive to high endeavor and crowding him down into the darker places and compelling him always to tread a level lower than that trodden by his white countrymen. 1 ) HON.

Republican Candidate for Congress, First District, Illinois. Martin B. Madden, candidate for re-election as Congressman is known as a man who "does things." Martin B. Madden served eight years in the Chicago city council. During that time he handled the important projects for the continued development of Chicago, for the world's fair, for the building of a greater city commercially, industrially and artistically. He was one of the leading spirits in the work of securing the dedication of old Dearborn park to the public library, and on this ground the present beautiful library building stands. During the administration of Mayor Washburne Mr. Madden presided over the city council for two years. In 1896 Mr. Madden represented the First congressional district in the Republican national convention. He was one of those who from the first advocated the gold plank in the Republican platform of that year. In 1900 he was a delegate from the same district to the Philadelphia convention and there served on the committee that drafted the platform. He was a member of the sub-committee that actually did the work, and he personally wrote the isthman canal plank in the platform, adopted by the convention. This recommendation has since been enacted into law by Congress. Mr. Madden has been a director in and president of the Illinois Manufacturers' association for the past three years, and in this position has been given the right for further supremacy for Chicago commercially and industrially. He is president of the Western Stone company, employing a large number of men. He has never been active in any other business. He FREDERICK "The Republican Party is the started in the stone business with this company at the age of 10 as a water boy, earning 50 cents a day. He has risen from the position of water boy to president of this great concern simply by hard work, natural ability, honesty, and application to the duties given him to perform. Throughout his life he has been a worker. He has made a reputation of exceeding all the requirements of keeping everlastingly at things until he accomplishes what he sets out to do. He has made for himself with the men of the nation a permanent place. He is able at all times to command attention from them, and his presence on the floor of Congress has added greatly to the prestige of Chicago in that body. "Lands for Colored Folks."

Have two fine colored families there now from Chicago. It is good soil, level, and elevated just a little, nicely overlooking the lake. I could sell this land at from $25 to $30 per acre with a small cash payment down, and the balance on easy terms.

"The Republican party has been for more than fifty years the consistent friend of the Afro-American. It gave him freedom and citizenship. It wrote into the organic law the declarations that proclaim his civil and political rights, and it believes today that his noteworthy progress in intelligence, industry and good citizenship has earned the respect and endearment of the nation. We demand equal justice for men, without regard to race or color; we declare once more, and without reservation, for the enforcement in letter and spirit of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution which were designed for the protection and advancement of the Afro-American, and we condemn all devices have for their real aim his disfranchisement for reasons of desolation for a faction of american and repugnant to the supreme law of the land." —Republican Platform, 1998 ```markdown ``` JAMES R.

The rumor that Pioneer Lodge Mason's had to give up Wagner Hall on account of rent or anything else is wholly untrue, in fact Pioneer Lodge may release Wagner Hall for a term of two years if this is desired. Also the rumor that I have collected rent from lodges and have not paid hall rent to the proprietor is absolutely false and untrue and the person or persons who create these statements do know the facts and are circulating malicious falsehoods. Dates for the regular meetings of the various lodges using the hall are still at their disposal as heretofore and the hall has been and will be open as usual for their meetings until official notice is given that they have relinquished the same.

Defective Page GOPHER 10S I.B.P.O.E. OF THE WORLD CERVUS ALCES The talk of the town is the Grand Reception and Ball of Elks at the Auditorium. As there are only 44 boxes in the Auditorium, and as only 6 persons are allowed to be seated in one box, it will be seen that only 264 persons can get box seats at the Reception and Ball on Aug. 25; it will readily be seen that those who wish the choice boxes must be on hand on next Monday morning at 10 o'clock. No boxes or seats will be sold or reserved until then, so be on hand either in person or by representative and bear in mind that there will be no boxes reserved except for cash. Remember that only 22 of the boxes are before the curtain when the speaking and exercises are going on. The price of these boxes each seating 6 persons is $10. Then there are 22 boxes that are behind the curtain and not available during the exercises but are very desirable when the stage is turned into a ball room, these boxes each seating 6 persons are $8 each. The persons who purchase these boxes will be given choice seats is the parquet during the exercises before the curtain. The only way to secure first choice of boxes and seats is to go to the box office of the Auditorium on next Monday at 10 o'clock where the sale will begin. First some first served. The Grand Reception and Ball which will be given at the auditorium on Tuesday, Aug. 23, will unquestionably be the biggest and best public social function ever witnessed in Minnesota. Everybody is invited and everybody is going so it seems from the general talk. One of the great features of the Elks' Grand Ball will be the Flor Committee of gentlemen who will be in full dress, vests and goves, black ties. They will all be in the grand march. Thirty-two of them when all are selected. Those selected thus far are: Owen Howell, conductor; O. C. Hall; D. C. Cotton, R. S. Harris, Prof. J. R. White, R. M. Johnson, Dr. H. I. Williams, A. Combs, R. Boswell, J. H. Hickman, Jr., W. H. Johnson, G. A. Green, J. F. Coquire, John Hayes, S. F. Hall, Dr. W. T. Francis, R. Chamman, A. V. Hall, E. I. Robinson, F. D. McCracken, Leo Cook, Chas, Miller, Robert Howard, Clarence Smith, Wm. Garrett, Dr. Valdo Turner. Everything is moving along swimmingly for the national meeting of the ELKS Aug. 25. The various committees have everything well in hand and the bigest and best gathering ever in St. Paul is assured. The center of attraction will, of course, be the Grand Reception and Ball at the Auditorium on Tuesday Aug. 23, and the gowns that will be worn on that occasion will cause the strangers to open their eyes. There are 44 boxes and the many box parties that are forming indicates that there will not be boxes enough. The boxes are $10 and $8, each seating 6 persons. Get a box or you won't be in it. The sale of boxes and seats for the Reception and Ball will open at 10 o'clock Monday morning. Aug. 17th at the box office of the Auditorium. Be on hand to get first choice. First come, first served. "THE HEIR OF THE HOORAH" The Farewell Production of the Neill Co. at the Grand Next Week. "The Heir to the Hoorah" has been selected by Mr. James Neill for the farewell week of the stay of the Neill Company at the Grand Opera House. Frederick Wallace. The regular season of this theatre will open Sunday matinee, Aug. 23d, with Jacob Litt's great success "In Old Kentucky." Lillian Andrews The selection of the Heir to the Hoorai" as the play to wind up the summer season, reflects credit upon Mr. Neill's managerial judgment, for here is a drama of prominent authorship conceded to be the best effort of the play writing talent of Paul Armstrong. This drama brings with it the prestige of an extended New York run and with the further favor of having made a tremendous hit in every city in the country. The play has never been seen before in stock here, its past appearances having occurred at the Metropolitan Opera House, where it was always received with enthusiastic favor. "The Heir to the Hoorah" is not a one part play, but is full of interesting characters all of whom contribute in a material way to the successful working out of the plot and story. "The Heir to the Hoorah" is promised to provide a dramatic entertainment of unusual interest and is sure to meet with large patronage as this will afford local theatre goers with the last opportunity they will have to see their favorites in a congenial role. The story of the play teens with a vitality and strength and teender heart interest of the robust West and affords throughout the action of the story a striking contrast between the eastern and western characters affording thereby a series of decidedly enjoyable characterizations in a dramatic way. The role of Joe Lacy owner of the "Hoorah" mine was originally created by Guy Bates Post. This part will be assumed here by Mr. James Neill and as the role is one peculiarly suited to his dramatic temperament a most enjoyable performance may be anticipated. Miss Edythe Chapman will appear in the role of Mrs. Kate Brandon, a vivacious amoris young widow, a part which will be the subtle elegance that marks her every histronic effort. Eleanor Montell will interpret the part of Mudge Casey, one of the most interesting parts of the play and a role which will serve to illustrate another phase of her most admirable talent. A. X. SCHALL. JR. Candidate For Republican Nomination For Court Commissioner Mr. A. X. Schall, Jr., candidate for Court Commissioner of Hennepin County, is one of the promising young attorneys of Minneapolis and is in every way fitted for the duties of the office to which he aspires.
