RESIDENT WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT, backed up by 226 pounds of joyful smiles to to-day speeding westward on a 13,000-mile tour of the United States. The trip is over two months in duration, starting September 15 from Boston and ending with the president's arrival in Washington for the winter, on November 21. It is the longest journey through the length and breadth of the United States ever undertaken by an American executive while in office, and the trip is notable in presidential annals. While ex-President Theodore Roosevelt is smashing precedents and setting new ones in Africa by, riding on the cowcatchers of engines, etc., his successor is getting close to the soil in his own environment. THE RAILWAYS FIVE MINUTES FOR A RECEPTION points on the Pacific coast which is the west boundary of the union. Thus it was predestined that the executive should set foot on the four extreme lines which enclose the domain which selected him as its head. The personnel of the president's traveling party besides the president, consists of John Hays Hammond, president of the League of Republican Clubs; Capt. Archibald W. Butt, military aide; Wendell W. Mischler, assistant secretary of Washington, D. C.; James Sloan, Jr, and L. C. Wheeler, the secret service and Maj. Arthur Brooks, the president's confidential messenger. Six newspaper men accompany the president throughout the entire trip. The party travels in two private cars attached for the greater part of the time to regular trains. Besides the regular executi President Taft is preparing his mess grease and a small part of each day is either making memoranda or mental points upon which he will elucidate in communication due in December.

Leaving Boston, after motoring into the city of highbrows, Mr. Taft and his two special trains departed westward for Chicago, arriving in the windy city the following day. Party chiefs there received him with the sort of glad hand that Chicago knows how to extend. Taft's palm turned upward in response to the cordial greeting, after VOL. 25. NO. 38.

Heilberg of the Island Scouts is Appointed Governor of Cotabata, in Mindanao. Minneapolis, Minn.—Elwin Ronggold vold Heilberg, a major of the Philippine scouts, formerly commander of Troop A. Sixth United States cavalry, has appointed governor of Cotabata province, Mindanao, Philippine Islands. It was only a few months ago that the promotion of Mr. Heilberg to be major of the Philippine scouts was recorded and news of the recent honor Major Elvin P. Heiberg. conferred upon the young army officer was received with pleasure by his friends in this state. Mr. Heilberg was born in Rushford Minn., 34 years ago. He received his education in the common and high schools of La Crosse, Wis., Following his graduation there he took the competitive examination for entrance to the Military Academy at West Point, passing with highest honors, and was appointed a cadet in 1892. During his time at the Military Academy he stood well in his classes, and was made corporal, sergeant, captain and finally adjunct of the cadet corps—a coveted honor among the cadets. On graduation from West Point in 1896 he was assigned as second lieutenant of the Sixth cavalry, but afterward was transferred to the Third cavalry, with which regiment he relied later to the Sixth. He was transferred to Sam's famous cavalry regiment until he was promoted to the position of major of the scouts stationed on Corregidor island in the Philippines. Mr. Heilberg has seen service in the Boxer campaign in China, the Porto Rican campaign during the Spanish-American war, the miners' troubles in Idaho, and he commanded a detachment of cavalry in Wyoming when the Ute Indians left their reservation several years ago. His four corps wife, who was Miss Annow Howell Dodge of Washington, and their three children, returned from the Philippines last fall because the climate of the tropics was too trying on them.

ART OF LIFE SAVING ART OF LIFE SAVING Wm. Henry, Champion Swimmer, Coming Over to Teach Us. He Is Founder of the Royal English Society Devoted to Rescuing the Drowning—Easy When You Know How, He says. London—Remarkable progress in the art of saving life from drowning has been made both in Europe and America since the foundation 18 years ago of the English Royal Life Saving society which first organized this service to humanity. William Henry, the founder of this famous society, left England recently on a missionary visit to the United States and Canada. After visiting Montreal, Quebec, Ottawa, Kingston and other Canadian cities, he will give lectures and illustrations of life saving in Buffalo, New York and other places in the United States. Mr. Henry is one of those enthusiasts whose zeal is infectious. Being in the happy position of financial independence, he devotes most of his time to his hobby—life saving—and under his direction the society has grown from a small body in 1891, when it was founded to embrace more than 600 affiliated societies and clubs, numbering over 180,000 authorities. The governing authorities of schools, colleges and universities in England all have come under his sway. He has visited nearly all the continental countries and has established societies in Italy, Germany, Sweden, France and Finland. His methods of life saving are being taught in the Australian commonwealth, New Zealand, India. BROOKLYN William Henry, Champion Life Saves, Who Is Coming to America. Malta, Egypt, the West Indies and South America; and now he is off to the schools, colleges and cities of the North American continent in search of converts and recruits. As a swimmer Mr. Henry is famous not only throughout the United Kingdom, but all over the continent of Europe. He has been an outstanding champion of England in 1899, won the life-saving competition at the Olympic games in Paris in 1900. Besides these he has taken part in numerous international competitions, winning prizes in Austria, Belgium, France, Finland, Germany, Holland, Italy and Sweden, until to-day he is the possessor of more than 600 trophies won in swimming and life-saving contests. Every school in England which has a swimming club attached to it teaches life-saving as part of the curriculum. Examinations are held by the society and certificates granted, and the great progress made may be judged from the increase in the number of certificates awarded since these practical examinations were instituted. My object is going to America," said Jack, just before leaving London, "is to try to stimulate the heads of schools and colleges to take up life saving and have it taught, just as they teach the children to read. The importance of a knowledge of the best method to resuscitate an apparently drowned person ought to be clear to everybody. "People get drowned in America just as they do in England; but hundreds of lives would be saved if would be rescuer only knew how to go to work. In every part of the world there are hundreds of abortive efforts that would have been a single tragedy turned into a double one through the absence of a little knowledge on the part of the would-be helper." $2.40 PER YEAR SAID TO HAVE RESIGNED POST Report About Ex-Senator Blackburn Recalls Fact That Panama Canal Body May Be Abolished. Washington—Joseph C. Blackburn, who is reported to have tendered his resignation as president of the Panama canal zone, is a distinguished Kentuckian, who has won fame at the bar and in the senate. He was born in Woodford county in 1838, and 20 years later was admitted to the bar, after which he went to Chicago and practiced law until the civil war broke out. Then he went south and served in the confederate army, resuming his Former Senator J. C. S. Blackburn, of Kentucky, law practice when hostilities seased. He was United States senator in 1858-97, and providently served in the national house of Congress three times the Kentucky legislature. Mr. Blackburn also had been a member of the Isthmian canal commission. He was conspicuous in the movement for the free coinage of silver. The report that ex-Senator Blackburn had tendered his resignation as canal commissioner recalls the fact that there is a possibility that all seven commissioners now constituting the governing body at Panama may be legislated out of office the coming winter, if the Mann bill now before congress is enacted into law. That measure contains many provisions of importance to the canal zone, but its essential feature is the abolition of the present commission and the placing of the construction of the great waterway in the hands of a chief engineer and a director and the responsibility for the management of the canal zone in hands of a governor. In its general composition has the approval of Secretary War Dickinson, and had it not been for the overshadowing importance of the tariff legislation at the special session of congress the bill probably would have been enacted into law already. One person may fill any two of the three offices provided for in the reorganization contemplated. Isthmian canal commissionship is considered a pretty good office, as it pays $14,000 a year. Mr. Blackburn has been filling the place of civil government with the commission, and has it, said, made a splendid record. MAY BE NEW JAPANESE ENVOY Baron Yasuya Uchida Said to Be Slated as Ambassador to United States. Washington.—Baron Yasuya Uchida, who, it is reported, will succeed Baron Takahira as Japanese ambassador to the United States, is one of the most prominent of Japanese diplomats. He was born in 1865 and was educated at the Imperial university at Tokyo. In the diplomatic service he has filled several important positions. He was one of the Japanese plenipotentiaries who concluded the treaty with China on Manchurian affairs and was made Baron Yasuya Uchida. vice-minister of foreign affairs in 1906, the baron comes here from the ambassadorship at Vienna.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 18. 1909 HURRAH FOR MATT HENSON. Just now there are a lot of white people who are hurrahing for Dr. Cook because they believe he is the first white man that ever reached the north pole, at the same time there are a lot more white people who are hurrahing for Commodore Peary because they believe he is entitled to that enviable distinction. As the fact has not yet been satisfactorily settled, there is still doubt in the minds of many which one to hurrah for. Now, nobody doubts the fact that Peary really reached the pole; and, as he was accompanied by Matt Henson, an Afro-American, his constant and faithful companion in all his polar expeditions during the last seventeen years, there can be no doubt that Henson reached the pole, too. He, therefore, can safely be said to be the first and only black man that [Image of a man with a mustache and a suit, facing forward.] Copyright 1909, by Harris & Ewing. HON. FRANKLIN MAC VEAGH Secretary of the United States Treasury. M. H. Postmaster General Orders Inquiry as to Cost of Carrying Mails on Railroads—$50,000,000 Now Paid for the Service Will Be Reduced. Postmaster General Hitchcock has signed an order increasing the fee for the registration of mail from 8 to 10 cents, to take effect November 1. The order also increases the max imum indemnity paid to the owner of the order to $55, thus doubling the department's liability for valuable articles intruded into the registry branch. This additional insurance of $25 for 2 cents is granted for a similar amount by any private concern. The changes ordered, the Postmaster General says, constitute the first move toward making the postal service self-sustaining. reached that much sought-for point on the earth's surface, and, therefore, deserves as much credit for his nerve and endurance as any other human being that ever reached there, so we will all be perfectly safe in hurrahing for Matt Henson. Some of the colorphobists undertook to start the story that there was much dissatisfaction and trouble with Mr. Peary's crew because he took Henson with him in his final dash for the pole, because of his color. Mrs. Peary setles that matter, however, by making this statement: "There is no color line in the Arctic. Men there, facing death at every turn, have no thought of such matters. There a man's a man for a' that, and I am sure the matter of Henson's color never occurred to any member of the crew. Matt Henson has always been with Mr. Peary on his final dashes by reason of his skill as a dog driver and his knowledge of the Eskimo language. "But more important than all is the fact that Henson is an American, and I am sure that, if for no other reason, my husband would have chosen him ahead of any of the men who were not." In 1886 when Peary was trying to survey a route for the Nicaraguan canal he ran across Henson, then a lad of 18, and employed him and they have been together ever since. Henson has frequently been sent out in charge of hunting and exploring parties, as he has gained a wide knowledge of Arctic conditions. When Peary made his last desperate attempt to reach the pole in 1906 by forced marches over the last few hundred miles, he let man after man drop behind, but he kept his faithful, true and tried companion, Matt Henson, by his side to the last. So, whatever the honor and glory that should come to Commodore Peary, it could never have been obtained without the aid of Matt Henson, and therefore Matt Henson is entitled to and should share it. Therefore we again say, Hurrah for Matt Henson! NO SIGNS OF SUCH PROGRESS. The Los Angeles Times asks: "Will the white population of America ever progress so far on the road to real civilization and Christianity as to acknowledge the fact that there are decent Afro-Americans who are not responsible or to blame for the crimes committed by the brutish and lawless of their race?" THE APPEAL has devoted a little time to considering the foregoing question and is compelled to admit with sorrow that it fails to see any very encouraging signs of such progress. The white population seems headed in the opposite direction. The only hope for a change comes from the fact that the white man is always a great sufferer when crimes and reprisals occur. Even in the matter of loss of life the whites are the greater sufferers, but it is the loss of his dollars that hurts him the more. W. H. Mitchell, a white man, about a year ago, disguised himself as a black woman and presented a note to a beautiful white woman of Thomasville, Ga., telling her to accompany the bearer to her brother, who was in trouble. She complied, but when in a lonely spot the supposed black woman, who proved to be Mitchell, attempted to criminally assault his companion, but was driven off by a passer. A posse hunted up the assailter to lynch the "black brute," of course, but did nothing of the kind, however, when they found he was a rich and prominent white man. He was, however, tried and sentenced to one year on the chain gang at hard labor, instead of being lynched as he would have been had he been black instead of white. Some folks used to say that black men could not endure the rigors of a northern climate, but how about Matt Henson, who has been with Commodore Peary, the Arctic explorer, for the past seventeen years? AN OPTIMIST By Geoffrey Mortimer (Copyright, by J. B. Lippincott Co.) I had been whipping new waters for trout and late in the afternoon I climbed a heathery slope and struck a road with which I was unfamiliar. In a quarter of a mile I came to a cross-road point, where five ways parted. There was a finger-post on a hummock, but rain and the accretion of powdery green moss had completely obliterated the directions. The day was sultry and I was tired. I sat down, lit my pipe and waited upon the slight chance of someone passing. In about a quarter of an hour I heard a man whistling behind me, and turning round I saw a big fellow swinging a stick as he strode. He was apparently a well-to-do farmer, so I judged from his tweed shoot-coat, drab corduroy riding-breeches and tan galters. As the stranger came nearer I noticed that he wore blue spectacles. "Can you tell me which of these roads I ought to take for Tavistock?" I said. "The one straight before you, the way I'm going." I thanked the man and suited my step to his as we began to descend a steep, narrow lane. "You don't know the country?" he said. "Not much, on this side of Dartmoor." "Tis the best side; likewise the wettest. Fishing?" "Yes." "Much of a basket?" I opened the lid of the creel and he put his hand in and weighed the half-dozen trout in his palm one after the other. "Ah, about a pound and a half. The trout aren't big here, but they're sweet. I used to love fishing. Time A "Not a Murmur," I Answered. was when I could catch a score of trout in one pool I know of in 'bout an hour, providing that the water was fit. "You don't fish now?" "No, the farm takes up all my time. Besides—" As he did not finish the sentence, I said— "How many acres do you farm?" How many acts do you learn? "Close on 300. That wants a bit of looking after. Still, there's not a jollier life, to my thinking, nor a healthier." As he spoke an old man, shuffling with a stick, came in sight. He was dressed in shabby gray, but in spite of his mean appearance, there was still a certain distinction about his wrinkled, jaundice-looking face, with its yellowish-white mustache and bushy eyebrows. "Good-night, Sir Henry," said the farmer. "Good-night," piped the squire in a melancholy tone. "So that's Sir Henry Capelin," I muttered, the richest man, next to the Duke of Bedford, in West Devon." "That's the old fellow," chuckled my companion. "Not much to look at, is he? Looks like some old carpenter or barber or—well, anything but a baronet and a rich man." "He seems to me a most melancholy man." "So he is—downright miserable. I'll warn'n'—yes, I wager all I’m worth that I’m three times happier than he is, all so be that he counts his money in thousands of pounds while I count mine in shillings. For that’s about the difference betwixt you?" "Is he in bad health?" "Deuce a bit! Tough as wire. No, ‘tis all worry about his money and his estates that makes him look like a skewed old rat. He can’t enjoy his life. That’s his nature. Mine is just the opposite of his. I never fret my self about anything; never did, and don’t need to begin, neither. What’s the good of it?" "Probably you have had very little to trouble you." "That depends on what you call trouble. I've had a deal of illness in my time, I've been ruined at farming, I've lost a dear wife and two children and now I'm afflicted with—well, I think I've said enough to show that I've had trouble. Happiness, sir, depends on something within the constitution of a man. What that something is I can't tell you." "I infer that you consider it weakness to give way to grief." "A certain amount of sorrow was ordained for our good," said my philosophic friend. "But we make troubles for ourselves by folly, bad ways of living and idleness. Hark! three shots. That's the shooting party to Borramoor." "I heard no reports," I said. "I heard them as plain as I hear your voice." "Your hearing is very keen." "It is remarkably good. Now just tell me if you can hear the cry of the river to our left," he said, stopping to listen. "Not a murmur," I answered, after listening for several moments. "I hear it all the time," he said, laughing. "My hearing is wonderful!" "Indeed it seems to be." "I'll try you with another sense," he remarked presently. "Do you know the scent of rabbits? You may have noticed it in a big warren on a damp, warm day?" "Yes, I know the odor." "Very well. Do you smell rabbits now?" "I can't say that I do." I replied, sniffing hard. "Ha! ha! We beaten you again!" he cried. "Why this part of the lane reeks of rabbits to me. I've got the scenting power of a ferret or a fox and the hearing of a deer or a hare." "And the visual capacity of a "And the visual capacity of a hawk?" I suggested. "Visual? That's seeing, isn't it? No, I can't say that my eyesight's good," he chuckled. "Are you short-sighted?" "Stone-blind, sir." "What!" "Blind these 12 years, sir," he laughed. "Ah, I wish I could just see your look of surprise." "It seems impossible! You don't even tap the ground with your stick." "No, I've no need to," he said with delighted vanity. "I know the feel and the smells of this road perfectly; I've walked it so many hundreds of times. I never tap the ground unless I'm in a strange part." "This is very extraordinary. Tell me how you knew that it was Sir Henry Capelin who passed us?" "Because it's his rule to go down to the keeper's hut at this time of the day, sir. But that's nothing. I can recognize folk by their manner of walking—the sound of their steps, I mean." "Well, I could not have believed that you were blind," I said. "No, sir, you couldn't. I knew you wouldn't guess it. Just now we're passing a big ash tree on the right hand of the road. Is that right?" "Quite right." "And your way to Tavistock is a few yards further on, on the left hand. I leave you there, sir, and thank you for your company. It's queer to think of a blind man leading one who can see, isn't it? I wish you a good night, sir." I shook the blind farmer's hand and turned my steps towards Tavistock, musing upon this curious incident and its moral. Here was a man whose life had been checkered with many griefs, whose lot was humble and whose days for twelve years had been spent in perpetual darkness. And yet he confessed himself thoroughly contented and happy. My gaze roamed to the towers of Sir Henry Capelin's seat, and I thought of the contrast presented by that lugubrious old hermit, who, despite his wealth, robust health and the possession of all his physical faculties, is one of the most miserable of mortals. WORLD'S DEBT TO BACTERIA Their Work Is in Removing the Bodies of Each Generation to Make Room for the Next. Geologists tell us that, as it is, entire strata of rocks on the earth's surface are largely made up of the skeletons of once living forms. Hence if it were not for bacteria, corpses would soon pile higher than the Andes, and the earth would be choked with its own dead. In other words, bacteria keep life going by removing the bodies of each generation to make room for the next. Thus life here begins with microbes and ends with them. Therefore, all this shows how in one way, at least, bacteria are indispensable, and we ought to be disinterested enough to admire their activity in thus working for the good of postery, since without them there would soon be no postery. This reminds one, however, of the Hibernian who, when told that if he died for old Ireland he would gain the applause of postery, demurred with the words, "Faith, what has postery done for me that I should die for it?" But do bacteria produce only what this gentleman would term post-mortem benefits for us, or cannot they furnish us with some antemortem ones? I am glad to say that some varieties of bacteria promise to increase our foodstuffs to an extent difficult for us now to foretell. But this statement needs some explanation. In the first place, the chemical element, nitrogen, is a necessary ingredient in our food, whether that be vegetable or animal. Now, three-fifths of the atmosphere is composed of nitrogen, and hence it may be imagined that we need not fear this source of supply giving out.—Everybody's Magazine. Meaning Not Clear "Why," asked the good man's wife, "are you so thoughtful? You look as if something disagreeable had happened." "Perhaps," he replied, "I am foolish to feel as I do about it. My congregation has raised a purse for the purpose of sending me to Europe." "And are you sorry it isn't large enough to enable you to take me with you? Don't let that cause you to feel depressed. It will be very lonely here without you, but I know you need the rest, and I shall be very sensitive. I can spend the summer at some quiet, inexpensive place, cheered by the thought that you will return refreshed in mind and body." "It is very good of you to look at it in that way, my dear. I appreciate your feeling. But the gentleman who made the presentation speech said he was sorry the amount that had been raised was not larger, so that I might be able to remain away longer, and somehow it seemed to me that the applause was more hearty at that point than anywhere else in the course of his remarks."—The Independent.

Graves and family next Monday night at St. James A. M. E. Church. Graves and family came to St. James from Des Moines, Iowa, about four years ago, and the story of the rise of the church to its present place in the eyes of the church is the comment of the entire connection and has brought him to the front as one of the leaders of the church, and his name is mentioned in connection with three of the leading churches of the connection, which must be filled this month. More than three hundred members have united with two hundred during his stay here, over two hundred of the church now, and make up the larger Rey. Horace S. Graves part of it.

"COLORED GOPHERS" To Have a Try With the Conrads and the Keystones. Local followers and base ball fans in general will gladly welcome the news that they are to see on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, Sept. 15, 20, 21, our crack - H. P. Conrad's team and the champion Gophers on tomorrow at the H. P. West Side Park; on the South St. Paul line, at 3:30 p. m.

The closing number and particular features will be "A Young Turk," the biggest thing ever attempted in burlesque, and described as a crystal maze of scenic surprises and electrical effects of a master hand of stage craft. In point of costuming it is equally as elaborate, and to say the thirty-singing beauties are a treat to the eye and ear is but putting it lightly. There are twelve big song hits, who the fun is fast, furious and all new. COMMERCIAL BARBER SHOP No. 94 East Fifth street, between Minnesota and Robert streets. First class in every particular.

Beribboned Flowers. The use of ribbons with flowers has a great field and entrances the beauty and value of them. A bunch or basket with on appropriate bow artistically placed makes it worth as much again, if you are not simply selling merchandise. But put the ribbon where it belongs, where the eye suggests the need of something being tied. To put a red necktie on an aracuria as is bad taste as chiffoning an anazalea with a lot of fussy stuff puffing out here and there. It does not do the azalea any good and wastes the ribbon. You can use some receptacle with the plant that offers an excuse to tie on a bow of ribbon and you at once have the satisfying effect on the eye. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN. It has been rumored about St. Paul that the NAGEL UNDERTAKING CO. does not desire the patronage of the Afro-Americans.
