TAFT’S BUSINESS POLICY, In g recent address before the Com- mercial Club of Cincinnati, Mr, Taft laid down his polfey as to business enterprises as follows. “Every business man who Is obey- ing/the law may go ahead with all the energy in his possession, every enterprise which is obeying the stat- utes may proceed without fear of in- terferenee by the administration, when acting legally; but all interests within the jurisdictzon of the Federal Government may expect a rigid en- forcement of the laws against dis- honest methods.” That policy will commend itself to the mind of every honest and sens- ible man; for his prosperity depends vpon its enforcement, The greatest obstacle to the success of the honest business’ man 1s the competition of Gishonest rivals, whose methods he despises‘and has no inclination to fol- low. A rigid enforcement of the law against dishonest methods is just what he needs and sust have and it is the proper function of the govern- ment to. protect him agaénst such o HON, FRANK H.

The Washington Post says: “There is no Democratic party left except at the South; the South is the Demo: cratic party. The destiny of the party fs in the Keeping of that people. What will the South do?” In other words the party is worn down to a frazzle, and there is no hope of its redemption, except in the ‘elimination of the old feudal, Bour- bonish aristocracy, which has con- trolled the section ever since recon- struction. That process is going on; surely, but slowly, under the leader- ship of such outspoken men as Clark Howell and Senator MacLaurin. The South is beginning to see that her ‘worst enemies are those of her own household, Anent the reeent election, a good yarn is told of an actual occurrence down South. Mr: Jones, a big plan- ter, just before the election, said to “Red,” one of his hands: “Well, Red, cur man’s going to win this time, and then we are going to send you people all to Liberia” Red answers: “Mr. Jones, I don't believe your man’ is ever going to get there.” “Yes, he will, Red,” said Mr. Jones, “and I'll bet you fifty dollars that he does.” “Well,” said Red, “I ain't got no fifty dollars, but T'll bet my bale of cotton ‘gainst your money.” Mr. Jones agreed and put up the money in the hands of his wife. The bale of cotton was already in his gin, After the election, Mr. Jones paid the bet; but it ia rumored that he gave the Democratic party and Mr. Bryan one of the liveliest “cussins” ever pulled off in Dixie: A South Carolina editor contem: plates sueing certain journals of nis state for having misled and deceived him with false election predictions, whereby he suffered much mental an- guish. The record does no state that he lost any bets, but that may be taken for granted. Senator Jones, of 2 ek i a Be Ae SS \ # pues | 5 | | ‘Says There Will Be Real Revision of the Tariff at the Special Session of Congress. “There will be a real revision of the tariff at the’ special session of Congress to be called for the purpose,” said Senato- Cullom of Illinois, as he left ‘the White House executive offices Tuesday morning, after a brief chat with the President. Senator Cullom exoressed more optimism tan most republicans who have perambulated this way of late. He thought that if, in the coming regular session, the committee charged with the Work of preparing the schedules for’ submission to the two branches of the national legislature are on the job from start to finish the special ses- sion need not last more than two months. The. Dingley bIR was disposed Of at a special session by July 27 and most of that time Was consumed by the Senate. Senator Culom thinks there's no need to spend that much time’in the work this time. - 7. Arkansas, caused many of his partis- ans to lose their shekels and got many a good cursing in consequence, but none of the losers ever sued him. We think the S. C. man has taken ‘the proper course. Such men as Mack are a menace to the pocket- books of the community and need restraint, Few of us know when we are well off, and constantly complain of the dispensations of Providence: Since misery loves company it may sugar coat the pills that some of us have to take, to remember that even the great and glorious Mrs. Leslie Carter had to sell her magaificent clothes to the highest bidder in New York last week. We can't all be Peter Van Vlissingens either and succeed in com- mitting forgeries for millions and passing as millionaires for eighteen years. Guess we'd better be thank- ful that things are no worse. Tt would seem that the “Peerless One” after his recent defeat would conclude he had enough. But such seems not to be the case as he has stated that should circumstances de- mand it he would again shy his caster into the presidential ring. He would better get busy and produce such circumstances as it is confidentially asserted that Governor John A. John- son of Minnesota still has the bee buzzing in his bonnet and being a younger and handsomer man Miss Democracy may take him as her af- finity. The Washington Post is giving some mighty good advice to the Dem- cocratic party, that ‘s the solid south, but Ephraim is joined to his idols, let him alone, says the good book. And another philosopher tells us that there is no use in singing psalms to a dead horse—And, moreover, Andy Johnson said it was useless to waste amuni- tion on dead ducks, And now the nightrider has invaded Oklahoma and is warning farmers not to sell their cotton until it reaches 10 cents per pound, The citizens have organized Protective Associations and Propose to protect themselves. We hope that they will give the night. riders a warm reception; which, strange to say sometimes has the ef- fect to cool folks off, . — |Next Thursday is the National ‘Thanksgiving Day and we have much to be thankful for, just think it over and see if our weals have not out- numbered our woes.

The Famous Educator Who naked ‘An Appeal to the Afro-American of the onthe ‘The Afro-American and the Public Schools cf the South. ‘To the Colored People of the South: This is the third time that 1 have had the privilege of speaking to you in this way upon what I consider the most, vital subject, outside of relf- gion, that concerns’ our race. Action upon it cannog be delayed or omitted without the “most. serious conse- quences to this and succeeding gen. erations, I refer to the education or our colored children in the country Aistricts where from 80 to 85 per cent of our people live. In a recent trip through the state of Maryland I was surprised to find, for example, that there were rural communities al- most within sight of the dome of the Capitol of the Nation where the public schools for our race are only open from two to.twovand one-half months during the year, Taking. the Southern States asa whole, it is sate to say that the coun- try schools:are not in session av pees- ent longer than four or five months out of the twelve. When we add to this condition, “in most cases, poor schoolhouses or no schoolhouses, little apparatus and poorly paid teachers, it is clear that this is a condition de- manding the immediate and constant attention of parents, ministers, teach- ere ‘and leaders of every description. ‘The facilities for public school educa: tion in the cities and larger towns are good for the most part, but I know of counties where Afro-American teachers are paid not more than $15 per month, and out of this they must Doard themselves. ‘This means prae- tically no school, for a teacher worth more cannot live on such a wage. In order to impress our people with the truth of how far we are behind and with what remains to be done, let_me make a comparison: Two years ago each child in the state of Massachusetts had spent upon him as per school population, in the free pub- lie schools $26.42, while taking the South as a whole for the same year each Afro-American child had spent upon him as per school population from 50 cents to $1.50 in the different Southern States, At such rate, does any one believe that we can educate our children? Ignorance will grow denser, and crime, lawlessness and in- efficiency will increase. Something must be déne and that speedily. What is the remedy? Let parents and leaders get into close and sym- pathetic touch with the local and county and state officials and make known the condition and the needs of the children. If one effort does not succeed, make another and an- other. You, yourselves, must make your wants known, no one can or. will do it for you. We must in a firm, con- servative. and yet polite manner in- sist upon our proper share of the pub- Mie school funds. Parents must bear in mind that if they get all the public school funa that is justly due their children, this alone will not provide for the educa- tion of their children. Even the white children in the South are not recelv- ing enough money to properly educate them from the public fund. In some way each community must organize effort to tax itself and keep taxing itself until each community has a good schoolhouse and a school term lasting from six to eight months in each year, taught by qualified teach- ers. I speak to our people now on this subject that they may begin organiz- ing and that they may raise money this fall while our people have it. Now is the time to act. Do not delay another day. This is the season of the year when our people are hand- ling considerable cash as a result of the sale of their crops. This is also the season of the year when they are tempted to throw away thousands of dollars im unwise directions. I urge you to use some of the money this fall that you would throw away m providing for the proper education’ of your children, We must, as a race, learn to make sacrifices. ‘It is better. that we go without proper clothing, that we go hungry, live on bread and water even if necessary, rather than neglect the education ' of our children. ° Let each person, teacher or minister, who reads these words, be- gin at once and stir the people to action in his immediate county.

Leaving their lobster traps, which they were just taking in, and putting on all the power available in their motor boat, Horace Rhodes, Climp Adams and Horace Frost, lobstermen, came into Marblehead bay very much frightened. ‘They had fled to escape from a whale which, they declare, was sixty feet: long, and which spouted a stream forty feet into the air, drenching them to the skin. | Whey were at ‘Tinver’s island, just out of Marblehead:harbor,-engagea-m. pulling in their traps, when they no- ticed that little fish were swimming around excitedly. ‘The three pald no attention to this, when suddenly a large whale rose out of the water within ten feet of their’ motor boat, and gave them a shower bath. ‘They were badly frightened and were prepared to jump overboard, ‘when the whale sank again. All the Power in the boat was put on and Fecord time made back to shore.” All the other motor boats in the vicinity, seeing their great kaste and wonder. ing what the trouble was, put in at the same time. Of late @ great many whales have been seen around Marbleherd, where they feed on littis fish, and it is be- lieved they are increasing in numbers hereabouts, ‘Trouble a Bird's Nest Caueed, A hatpin used by a pair of swallows as the foundation for their nest, built between two wires, put the entire po- lice alarm system’ of the suburb of Ballard out of business Saturday. ‘The police alarm wires from Ballard to headquarters at the city hall were tested box by box until the trouble was located. It was discovered that difficulty lay between the box at Fre- mont and the one next south. The electriclans could find nothing more serious than « swallow's nest. Investigation showed that the nest, which stretched from one wire te an. other, a distance of about eight inches, was built on a hatpin, which touched both wires and short circuited the whole system. Teheran's Water Supply. Teheran, the center of the civil war now raging in Persia, has within the last twenty years undergone the most rapid transformation of all Oriental cities.

In the industrial world it has become accepted that a’man is too old at for- ty, and the London county council works department decided last year not to engage men above thirty-five, How is it in the intellectual world?

Dat's de reason I likes is territory. You can go on huntin’ work -widout being disturbed.” Emigrant Dumping. Britain still regards the colonies as dumping grounds for her irreclaini- able. criminals.

LOVINGGOOD, exinanoon: A City Thanksgiving O A. E. J. STORY OF THE RUNAWAY BOY The dinner hour at the little Bohemian club in Tenth street was drawing to a close—that is, the evening had reached the stage when all had dined heartily and well—and the circle of guests found in Thanksgiving eve an especial incentive to become more merry than usual. Already a new song had been sung and several bright stories told. It was the turn of the middle-aged man, with the dark mustache and curly brown hair, who sat at the further end of the table. “This period, with Thanksgiving day to-morrow,” he said, “always brings most forcibly to my mind a certain Thanksgiving day I passed with my mother and father, may their souls rest in peace. Not that I did not spend many Thanksgiving days with them, but would that I had spent more. "As you all know, my native place is Sayville, Canada. My father, a wealthy land owner, selected me, the eldest of three sons, to take his place in the management of his farming and lumber interests, in which he employed close to one hundred men. When I was twenty-one years old I got a taste of city life in Montreal and heard wonderful things of other cities, New York especially. Away from the farm I found myself a different boy in every way, and I determined the city was the only place for me. My father refused even to listen to my arguments. The following winter I packed my belongings and came to New York. Through a friend in Montreal I secured a position on the—as a reporter, and at once saw ahead of me a great future, that promised everything from the proprietor of a newspaper of my own to a magazine writer and novelist. "My financial success made me independent, and for three years I confined my correspondence to my mother and remained at work. Then there was a shakeup and a change of editors, and I turned up among the missing. Fortunately for my stomach and the friends who had advanced me money, I caught on the —— a week later. When I had been there a year I decided that the money end of a newspaper was in the business office and advertising line. Elated by the capture of two big firms, I launched into the business in high feather, fitting up handsome offices and sparing no expense. I even took up some outside investments, and inside of a year I found myself so badly tangled up that I did not know where I stood. Completely hedged in and being pressed on all sides, I determined to make another effort with the governor, so I wrote him fully, explaining my position and asking him to advance money on my note. "In very polite terms he declined to aid me, and again repeated his request for me to come home and take Thanksgiving dinner. It simply meant to come home and stay there. "I needed no money for a ticket this time. That was a mere nothing, and I reached Sayville late the night before Thanksgiving day. "Thanksgiving morning I arose THE PHILOSOPHIC BRAKEMAN The Flying Bluenose, a train which usually earns its title as railroad travel goes in the quiet Canadian province it traverses, had been held for an hour or more at a little town until a new locomotive could be procured. The regular locomotive had laid down on the job. It was a case of tired boiler tubes. Passengers were chafing at the delay. There was no reason for impatience, for the next stop was the terminus of the train, and a seaport; those who were going to take the boat knew it would wait for the train; the others had no other object for the day but dinner, and the train would surely arrive before 6. The scheduled time of arrival was 3:30. Nevertheless the passengers were impatient. Most of them were Americans, which explains it. They clustered around the rear platform of the Pullman or made daring excursions into the town, with one ear open for the whistle of the extra locomotive --- Speak o' churches, I went into one, Mornin' o' thanksgiving' d'ay; Allus gone to church that mornin'— Mighty soothin' like to pray Fer the folks 'taint' got no blessin's, But mark you what I say— It ain't no fun to be prayed fur Upon Thanksgiving day! earlier than the others, so as to look about the place. I was glad to be home, of course, but the day seemed a hollow mockery to me, as I could not get my mind from my affairs. I wandered into the parlor and ran my fingers over the organ. I was born a musician, and, although I have played all my life, I don't know one note from another. I forget what I played, and would have forgotten that I touched the instrument had it not been for a remark at the breakfast table. "I suppose you will go to church with your father?" said my mother. "I am not going to church to day," said the governor. "The music that Bob plays is enough for me." "He would have it that I go at the organ right after breakfast." "I started with 'Abide with Me.' The governor lighted his cigar, and I heard him sigh gently as I concluded with the soft 'Amen.' He brightened up, sat straight, relighted his cigar and kept time with his hands. As soon as I finished the last refrain I pulled out all the stops and crashed into 'Onward! Christian Soldiers!' with a burst of melody that almost surprised me, and I followed up the inspiration and worked in all the incidentals that could possibly be crowded into the air. "In a minute the governor was on his feet, walking up and down the room, completely lost in the spirit of the music. Then I brought him to a standstill by bringing out that stirring processional, 'Holy! Holy! Holy!' He seemed transfixed for a while, and as he took his seat again I played in succession, 'Pass Me Not,' 'I Need Thee Every Hour' and 'Nearear, My God, to Thee.' I played the last hymn twice, and then at a loss for further suitable selections I just wandered over the keys, playing all the tunes I could think of, in very slow measure, and working in minor chords, so they sounded like a series of connecting voluntaries. In this I went to every excess. When I played loud I made room fairly resound, and then I would gradually work the air down until it was so full of sentiment, sorrow and tenderness that I would feel bad myself, and all through it the governor's feelings followed the music, straightening up when it was bright, sinking low in his chair when it fell soft and low. It was nearly two hours before I stopped. "Then I rested with my hands on the keys. He came behind me, and, placing his hand on my shoulder, said: "Bob, how much do you need?" "Two thousand dollars, governor," I said. "I left for New York that night with the bank notes in my pocket. It was the happiest Thanksgiving day of my life, and my only regret was that I didn't kiss that organ goodby." Tommy's Sad FVIII.

Members of the train crew took matters calmly and answered all questions, even the inevitable foolish kind with courtesy. The brakeman voiced his sentiments. "This suits me," he said, leaning against the guard rail. "Here we have been getting in on time or nearly so day after day, and there have been two hours before supper with nothing to do. To-day we'll get in about 6, just in time for supper. "I wish we'd get held up every day or the train would be put on a slow schedule. The appearance of being busy suits me much better than actual loafing." He shifted to an easier position and gazed dreamily up the stretch of track. When the relief engine announced its approach with a raucous blast he seemed to resent the intrusion and made his way back to the switch far too leisurely to please the passengers. A 1000 LB.
