Only rarely did he take apparent notice of the seeming dis courtesy. Once, wisely or not, he withdrew with something of pathos in his voice that he would he could talk in the lunch room, for there he would be sure of an audience. Mr. Morgan was no imperialist. He had a fear in his heart of the outcome of the policy of expansion, and the note of warning that came from his lips was frequent and forceful. One day, after outlining the position which he believed his country should take, his voice came back to theators starting to leave their seats sunk back and the audience ran up the page through the chamber. This was what he said: "In this lotty attitude we can prove the virtue of the republic before the eyes of all mankind, or we can set its light as a beacon to warn coming generations that, even in the highest reach of power and advantage, this republic—the cynosure of all eyes—is affected to the core with the sin of covetousness, and is afame with the consequent lust of power that is attended by the usurpations, tyrannies and oppressions which have worked the course of the oligarchies and despots that have disgusted the history of other nations." The senate of the United States stands for dignity. Sometimes the dignity is overdone, but, on one occasion the Senate was undignified to the point of striking several older senators with horror. Senator Tillman of South Carolina was making nothing less than an impassioned speech. He was reaching toward the aides of oratory, when Senator Warren left his seat, because of him, and took station behind the South Carolina. The speaker had both hands high over his head directing the soaring of his thoughts and words. Warren took a step forward. His hand stole to Tillman's side, slipped into his pocket, and came out again holding in its clutch a big black bottle. All unconscious Tillman went on with his words of the Warren held his find aloft in full view of the presiding officer his colleagues and the crowded galleries. There were smothered and simultaneous gurgle of horror from a hundred throats, and then roaring laughter uncheckable. Tillman turned and knowledge of the awfulness of his situation came to him. For once, possibly for the first time in his life, he was staggered to speechlessness. He strove for words, but they came not at his blinding. His face was first black with something like anger. Then the cloud cleared and a smile broke through. Speech returned, and it was boracic acid, but unfortunately for Mr. Tillman, it had been put into a black and suspicious bottle. A sore throat was the reason for its carrying, and while the South Carolina is a man of known truth, he would not let the matter pass until he had passed the bottle and had forced him comrades to smell the stuff and make clear his temperance record. Neither senate nor house makes light of pension pleas in the presence of the galleries, but senator and pennsman plays comic roles in the committee room, and accountants who can prove things are treated as old soldiers and old soldiers' widows ought to be treated—decently and reverently. Congress in its weakness has voted pensions on many an occasion, though doubtless knowing that the pensions were unearned and underserved, but the day of that sort of thing is passing, if it has not altogether gone. One member was asked to use his influence to secure an in- The Shepherd of the Black Sheep Professor Sir Charles Bell in the Strand Calls it a Convulsive Action of the Diaphragm. "Laughter," says Professor Sir Charles Bell in the London Strand, "is a convulsive action of the diaphragm. In this state the person draws a full breath and throws it out in interrupted, short and audible cachinnations. This convulsion of the diaphragm is the principal part of the physical manifestation of laughter; but there are several accessories, especially the sharp vocal utterance arising from the violent tension of the larynx and the expression of the features, this being --- F a more intense form of the smile. In extreme cases the eyes are moistened by the effusion from the lachrymal glands." There you have a scientific definition. But it is clear that mankind would hardly take the trouble to go through that experience if that is all that laughter consisted of. They would not regard a Dickens or a Mark Twain as a benefactor merely because of their production that. No; even the philosophers know that laughter is something better than that—something internal—that there is such a thing as silent laughter. Hobbes calls laughter. "a Copyright UNDER WOOD UNDER WOOD crease of pension for the widow of a soldier. There were papers forwarded to the him which bore on the case, and these he turned over to the committee on pensions after his bill had been introduced. The widow did not get her money, and it was not long before the whole house knew why. The member who had espoused the widow's cause had been in congress for years, and the joke at his expense was too good to keep, and one after and congratulated him on the widow shown in the plea which was in written form, he had turned in to the committee to win the widow's case. It is perhaps needless to ray that the member had never read the plea. It set forth the fact that while the amount of pension increase the widow of the soldier hero asked for was large, it must be understood "that she came of good family, moved in the best social circles, and was in need of a large sum of money to keep up appearances." Upon occasion senators and representatives permit their constituents to do their talking for them in congress. Pettitions come in floods at times, with the object of securing legislation by external pressure. In the Smoot case, and in the pure food and army canteen matters the pleas of the people came in by the tens of thousands. The members of both houses present these letters, call attention to their import and then allow the petition to do the rest if they are potent enough. Senator Latimer of South Carolina once introduced a good roads bill calling for the expenditure of government millions for the improvement of the country. The economists all over the country began sending their letters to press their friends into the writing service, but that they did not always pass upon the persuasive merits of the friends' productions is shown fairly well by one letter on the good roads' subject received by Senator Cullom. It read like this: "Dear Mr. Cullom: Please vote for this d--d bill, and you will oblige a fool friend of mine who runs an automobile. Yours more or less sincerely." It was a Chicago man who wrote this appeal. There were others like unto it. The good roads bill still sleeps. In the older days the school readers contained the story of "Till Try Sir Miller." Probably everybody knows who "Till Try Sir Miller," was. Certainly everybody ought to know. Gen. James Miller then a captain, was the hero of Lundy's Lane. He said he would try to do the thing necessary for the thrashing of the enemy, and he did it, and "Till Try Sir" took the place of his For years several representatives in congress tried to secure an appropriation to be used for the building of a monument to General Miller at Peterboro, N. H., near which town "Till Sir Sir" lived on a farm before the war of 1812, and for years after its close. The representatives who made the effort to build the in hand used the words of Captain Middy's family to express their own determination to serve victory. They certainly did try, and the speeches that were made before the library committee of congress held patriotic in every sentence. Apparently, however, it was easier for Miller to capture a battery against odds than it was for members of congress to capture the dollars necessary to build a monument of enduring stones to his memory. It was a case of try and try again. While the case of Miller, whose heroism was worth a dozen commons, was being pleaded, congress voted money for the gallant deserving. Finally, however, a New Hampshire member who had been digging into history found something about "Till Sir Sir" career which was not generally known. Congress had been told time and again that Captain Miller not only had shown conspicuous gallanty at Lundy Lane, but that prior to that fight he had thrashed a superior force of British and Indians at Managua. Congress had also been told that Miller had commanded the center column of General Brown's which routed what was apparently an overwhelming greater force of the British at Fore Erie. These things didn't make an impression. Congress seemed to think that inasmuch as Miller was a soldier that it was his business to defeat superior forces of the enemy every day in the week without imposing any monument-raising duty on posterity. The New Hampshire member, however, found out that after the war of 1812 Miller went back to his farm near Petersboro, chopped wood and milked the cows instead of doing Washington to ask the government to do something for him on account of his record. Miller's popularity was such after the treaty of peace that the government probably would have been glad to give him anything that it had to give. When "Till Try Sir" was asked why he was playing Cincinnatus instead of taking a job in Washington, he replied: "When men begin leaving the farms for the cities the nation will begin to decay." Congress was told of this saying of Miller's, not admiration for his choice of a farmer's life or the belief that he was a prophet who before long might have the truth of his prophecy proven to bring a favorable report from the committee in the matter of the monument at Petersburg. sudden glory arising from a sudden conception of some eminency in ourselves by comparison with the infirmity of others, or with our own formerly." If a laugh is a benefaction and the provoker of a laugh a benefactor, why are there more statues to dull people than to witty ones? Who was the greatest laugh promoter in history? Was she of St. John? Smith that he was the father of Lord Rosebey recently, "is a physical necessity. We live under a sunless sky bound by a melancholy ocean, and it is a physical necessity for the English nation—even for the Scotch nation and the Welsh nation—to laugh. It exhilarates all social relations. Was not" his lordship added, "the laugh of Sir Frank Lockwood something that would make a stuffed bird rejoice? And those who listened to the splendor of merriment which he could impart by that laugh realize the intense value of that emotional exercise." Alibi.

BLACK HAWK STATUE Lorado Taft's Monument to Vanishing Race. Red Man, Towering Over Valley Long Indians' Sole Property, Seems Leaving the Site Reluctantly —Made of Concrete. Oregon, Ill.—With impressive ceremonies the statue of the famous Indian chief Black Hawk was dedicated at Eagle Nest camp, the summer colony of Chicago artists and writers, near here. The statue of the great chieftain is the work of Lorado Taft and stands on a 200-foot bluff across the river from the town and just outside the limits of the camp. Among the members of the party at the dedication were some of the best known of Chicago artists and writers, Edgar A. Bancroft was the principal speaker and presented the statue to the people of Illinois. Responses were made by Dr. Charles C. Eastman and Miss Laura M. Cornell. The statue of Black Hawk occupies a position on the highest point in Rock river valley. It is mammoth in size—being 47 feet high—and represents the work of four years. It is built of concrete and is expected to be a permanent monument to the red men who once roamed this section. The facial lineae are of Black Hawk the sculptor's idea was to make the statue typical of the vanishing North American landscape. The statue of Black Hawk is represented girl in a blanket, reluctantly leaving the valley which served his tribe as council grounds long before the white man came to this continent. This remarkable statue, which is made of re-enforced concrete by a new process, is itself imposing, and has been placed upon a rock 200 feet above the water, the highest point in the picturesque Rock river valley. The statue Statue of Black Hawk. is visible for many miles, and hundreds of people came from adjacent cities in Illinois to view and admire it. Should this work weather well and preserve its fine contour and lines, Mr. Taft thinks it is probable it will mark an era in the erection of statuary in re-enforced concrete. On leaving the grove which bordered the roadway climbing the bluffs, the statue appeared in its majesty on the bank of the river. There was no unwelling, as Mr. Taft wished the first sight of the monument to be one of its entire majesty. Below, midstream, lies Margaret Fuller's island, sacred to the memory of Madam d'Osssel, the poetess who once lived here. Two miles distant, beyond the oak groves, rise the spires of Greveon, Mr. Taft's other works, the Indian church, in the city of that name in Kentucky. "The Eternal Silence" the Graves monument of Graceland cemetery, Chicago, have a similar feeling of majesty to that of his latest creation. QUEBEC BRIDGE IS BIGGEST Time of Construction Shows Advance in Engineering Since Brooklyn Bridge Was Built. Quebec, Ont.—The new bridge across the St. Lawrence river near here supplants the mighty structure that fell when half finished in the summer of 1907. The site of the new bridge is the same but the north pier is moved out 50 feet further into the river than approchibly shortening the central span of the bridge contains 130,000,000 of steel paired with the 100,000,000 of its predecessor. It will cost when completed not less than $12,000,000, and will have the longest truss span of any bridge in the world—1,800 feet, or 90 feet more than that of the great Firth of Forth bridge in Scotland. The construction of this bridge, which has taken two and a half years, is an impressive indication of the progress of mechanical and civil engineering since the Brooklyn bridge was opened to traffic, May 24, 1883. The latter required $13\%$ years to erect, and to date has cost over $200,000,000, of $1,000,000 more than the prospective cost of the new Canadian giant. The length of the river span of the Brooklyn bridge is 1,600 feet—200 feet less than that of the bridge at Quebec. Of the other bridges across the East river the Manhattan has a river span of 1,470 feet; the Williamsburg bridge has a span of 20% shorter than that over the St. Lawrence; the longest span of the Queensboro bridge is 1,200 feet.

DICTOGRAPH AS A DETECTIVE Recently Invented Instrument Plays an Important Part in the Ohio Bribery Trial. Columbus, O.—In the trial of Rodney J. Dlegle, sergeant-at-atarms of the Ohio state senate, convicted of alding and beating the alleged bribing of a state senator, the state relied on a mechanical device, the dictograph, a highly sensitized telephone, for its strongest evidence. The dictograph transmitter was scried in a detective's room in a hotel and a court stenographer in another room, reported the conversation in which it was alleged bribes were offered and accepted. For the first time in the history of detective work this curious machine was used. A dictograph consists of a series of sensitive metal plates set in a hard rubber cylinder. In its elements it is a telephone transmitter, implemented. Used in a business way it enables a man to sit at his desk in his private office alone and talk off his correspondence without the stenographer being Operating the Dictograph. present. The stenographer may be in the next room or the other side of the building, but she hears the words as distinctly as though she were at his elbow and sets them down. The detectives got some of the suspected men, separately and together, in a hotel room, a dictograph was under the sofa. A court reporter was on another end. Word for word his nimble fingers recorded every word that was heard. None but he and the detectives knew. Nothing escaped the transmitter—not even the opening or closing of the door—and the stenographer transcribed everything which the little instrument reported to him. This report was admitted as evidence by the judge who presided at the trial. The inventor of the instrument is K. M. Turner. In order to entrap the legislators who were suspected of receiving bribes, Detective Smiley acted as the occasion when the dictograph was used and he O. O. Walcott, the stenographer, were principal witness for the prosecution. The defense objected strenuously to Wolcott's evidence being admitted, but the court ruled that it was corroborative of the direct evidence and was admissible. MARKS MISSOURI SEA LEVELS The United States Geological Survey Has Recently Completed Work in the State. Jefferson City, Mo.—The United States geological survey, working in conjunction with the surveyors of the state of Missouri, have been establishing the levels in this state and placing tablets or "bench marks" in many places. These markers show the height of that point above the sea level. These bench marks are of two forms. One is a circular bronze or aluminum table three and one-half inches in diameter and one-fourth inch thick, having a 3-inch stem which is embedded in a drill hole in solid rock in the wall of some public building, bridge abutment or other substantial masonry structure or in the solid rock. The second form to be set in the ground where there is no rock or masonry, consists of a hollow wrought iron post four feet long. A bronze or aluminum table is riveted over the top. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY GEOGRAPHICAL INSTITUTE ELEVATION ADVERTISING FEET DATUM 500 DOLLARS FINE MUST STURBING THIS MARK of the post and it is tunk into the ground so that the top protrudes about six inches. The tablets are stamped with the words: "U. S. Geological Survey, Missouri." The elevation in feet above sea level is marked on the tablet and the words: "Two hundred and fifty dollars five for disturbing this mark." Old Church as Garage. Long Hill, Conn.—The old white First Methodist church building, steepe and all, for many years used as a place of worship and the first church built in the town of Trumbull, has given away to the progress of the times and garage. The edifice, which stands almost in the center of the village, has long been a landmark. The church will be made into waiting rooms for women and the pulpit and platform a show place for accessories. $2.40 PER YEAR. Signal Tower That Is On the Map and Has Politicians As Neighbors—Telegraph Operators Total Population. Independence, Ind.,—President Taft on his recent trip to this city passed through or rather by Taft, Ind., for the first time. He, however, probably did not know it unless he was reminded of it. There was only one inhabitant of Taft of bed the night President Taft whizzed the original station of Taft. That one inhabitant was C. A. Newlin, a telegraphian who had out a green light, which meant a clear track for the President. The President, in all his travels, had never before been through Taft, Ind. While conducting his presidential campaign he visited Anderson one October evening, going in from the east, and was then routed by way of Rushville to Indianapolis. His recent trip was the first time the President tour ever covered the Big Four railroad between Anderson and Indianapolis, and that is why he always missed Taft, Ind. This Taft, Ind., is not a joke or a creation since William H. Taft became President. The place or station was named while Mr. Taft was a resident of Cincinnati and preparing to go to the Philippines as governor of the islands. Some one in the general offices of the Big Four soon after the Spanish-American war, when it became necessary to give names to new towers for interlocking locks and other devices for safety along the Big Four railroad between Anderson and Indianapolis, chose names of persons and ships then in the public eye. One tower was named Taft. Then Pendleton and Ingalls was named after Dovey's good ships of war, Raleigh. Walthwright, who had not then become a rear admiral, but was making history while fighting the Spanish, was honored with the name of a tower at the southwest corner of Anderson. Walthwright and Taft are next The "Town" of Taft. door neighbors as towers. At the east end of the Big Four yards in Anderson another tower was named Gridley. It is well known that the first town west of Pendleton is Ingalls, named after M. E. Ingalls, but that was before Taft was named. J. Q. VanWinkle, formerly of Anderson, was general superintendent of the Big Four road at that time and it has always been surmised that Mr. VanWinkle named the towns Taft, Gridley and Raieigh. Taft, Ind. is, on the official railroad map as issued by the Indiana railroad commission. Taft is important to the Big Four road. It is a guard, a sentry against any danger of collision of trains or loss of time in switching and passing. Taft is a twenty-four-hour place, that is, it is never depopulated. Three telegraph operators work eight-hour shifts. S. D. Solomon has the first m. to 4 a.m. J. W. Stephens takes a second m. to call it, from 8 to 4 p. m. and C. A. Newlin from 4 p. m. to 12 m. M. W. Hummel, repair man for the tower interlocking switches and semaphore signals in the vicinity of Anderson, is an occasional visitor to Taft, Ind. Mr. Stephens and Mr. Hummel were at Taft when a correspondent visited Taft, Ind. for a picture of the place. Jerome Brown, former county commissioner, and Dory Biddle, who quit newspaper editing to turn farmer, are among the nearest residents of Taft. Brown is a Republican and Biddle is a Democrat. Sid Conger visited Taft frequently while he owned a farm that adjoins Taft. He recently sold his farm to the Marion county board of commissioners. Former Governor W. T. Durbin owned the farm before Conger bought it, so there has been more or less of an atmosphere of politics about Taft ever since it was established. Doff Coats in Church. Pittsburg, Pa.—The Rev.

SATURDAY, JULY 29, 1911. PRESIDENT TAFT. Copyright 1909, by Harris & Ewing. SATURDAY, JULY 29, 1911. The custodians of the $10,000,000 Carnegie Peace Foundation announced today a campaign of popular education to establish friendlier relations between the United States and Japan. The division of intercourse and education has arranged an exchange, "to give to each people better knowledge of the other, and to help build up a public opinion in both countries that will resist all attempts to arouse antagonism." If the Japanese find this plan necessary to establish friendly relations between the brown man and the white man it would undoubtedly be an excellent scheme for the Afro-American colleges in this country to exchange professors. It would be of great benefit to the students of Vanderbilt University Nashville, Tenn., to have a few lectures by Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard. Prof. Pickens of Talladega could furnish new ideas to students at Washington and Lee University. The white professors could lecture in the Afro-American colleges and in this way friendly relations would be encouraged. ```markdown ``` FRIENDLIER RELATIONS. A. H. TO FIX SITE OF LINCOLN STATUE.

One hundred and sixty oxen, harnessed in eighty spaces, drew an oxcart upon which James K. Vardaman rode through the streets of Meridian in the most spectacular parade that city has ever seen. Five brass bands, blaring independently of each other, could scarcely be heard by the cheering thousands. As a bodyguard, 100 prominent citizens rode horseback. Then came the Vardaman "car." The great string of animals, all white, carried white streamers bearing the legend, "Vote for the white chief and uphold the white South." On the back of each ox was a man shrouded in white. At each animal's head walked a white clad torch bearer. A sort of miniature throne was erected in the ox wagon, and upon this Vardaman sat, in immaculate linen and carrying a big white hat, which he waved continually. The most barbaric spectacle of all was the crowd which swarmed after. Men threw away hats, canes and umbrellas, and fought each other with fists to step up and place hands upon the wagon. Women threw bouquets of handsome flowers from galleries. Horses plunged madly, and several persons sustained slight injuries. It is said that the spectacle has not had a duplicate in the history of the South. ADVOCATES RACE FUSION. Mr. G. C. Hucaby of Baton Rouge, La., has just returned to America after three years at Oxford. Mr. Hucaby is a Rhodes scholar and has been making a study of anthropology during his stay in England. He intends to give his entire attention hereafter to the race question in the South, and for the purpose of carrying on his investigations in this country in a thoroughly scientific manner he will apply to the Carnegie Institute for assistance. Mr. Hucaby's endeavor will be the first organized attempt to give to the world the results of the fusion of the white and black people of the South. This subject has been a very delicate one with the people south of Mason and Dixon's line, who have bitterly M. H. Author of the Bill to Erect a $2,000,000 Memorial in Washington, to Abraham Lincoln.

Senator Cullom Hopes that a Plan Will be Accepted at the Meeting Next Tuesday, so that an Appropriation May be Secured at the Next Session of Congress. morial. The meeting will be held as soon as the members of the Fine Arts Commission can gather in Washington. opposed any fusion of the races since the Civil war, despite the fact that it was common in slavery days. Mr. Hucaby is a typical Southerner in appearance, tall and lanky with black hair and delicate, thin, pale features. Having had the broadening effects of study and travel to help him in his opinions on this subject, he believes that the fusion of the white and the black people of the South would not be as undesirable as many of his fellow Southerners declare. "YELLOW MEN JUDGE WHITE." The above headline was used in a number of American newspapers in the report of the trial of the American seamen tried and convicted of murder by a Japanese court. The evident intent was to arouse hostility. If white judges in America can sit in judgment on Japanese charged with crime it is right that Japanese judges should try Americans charged with crime in Japan. The "Back to Africa" movement is said to be making great headway but we doubt that it will ever amount to much. Afro-Americans are citizens of this country and they will be accorded all their rights here if they make a determined fight for them. The white people of Pensacola, Fla., who declined the Carnegie library because the money was "tainted" are not so immaculate themselves. In the hearts of the majority of the residents there is a race prejudice worse than "tainted" money. Jack Johnson the pugilist is jobbing Uncle Sam in newspaper interviews in Ireland. The United States may be bad in many respects, but Jack "got his" right here. The money he is now spending so extravagantly he made in America. Every Afro-American business man in the country, who can arrange his affairs so as to attend the Twelfth Annual meeting of the National Business League at Little Rock, Ark., August 16-18, ought to do so. Senator Jonathan Bourne, of Oregon, says, that La Follette's name will be the only one presented to the Republican National convention next year. Mr. Bourne predicted the election of Bryan in 1896. --- Washington, D.C. A WEEK IN WASHINGTON (From The Appeal Bureau.) Washington, July 26, 1911 President Taft signed the Canadian reciprocity pact at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon, receiving the signature to the bill in the present number of distinguished persons, including Secretary Knox. The agreement, ready for the signature of Mr. Taft, having the signatures of the Vice President and the Speaker, reached the White House at 1:12 o'clock this afternoon. The President was expected to sign it without delay, but he announced that he would not do so until Secretary Knox could be present; also a number of others he wished to invite. The reciprocity bill has been before Congress for months and its passage without amendments was a great victory for the President. To Fill a Chair at Tuskegee. Good thinga arq, coming thick and fast to Mr. N. A. Murray, who graduated from Cornell University in June. On July 1, he was appointed superintendent of public school garden of the District of Columbia and a few days later he was notified of his appointment to the secretary at Tuskegee, the famous school of which Booker T. Washington is principal. 1. HON. W. T. VERNON. Supervisor of Indian and Negro Schools. Taft Names Nathan Straus The President has recognized the public services of Nathan Straus, of New York, by appointing him to represent this government as a delegate to the third international congress for the protection of infants, to be held in Berlin, September 11 to 15, and also to the seventh congress against tuberculosis, which is to be held in Rome. Dr. Evans to Orate in Cleveland Dr. W. Bruce Evans, principal of the Armstrong Manual Training School, has gone to Cleveland, Ohio, where he will be the speaker of the day at the emancipation celebration to be held in that city on August 1. Good town; good man to talk; will make a good talk. Will Fix Lincoln Statue Site The Lincoln memorial commission, of which President Taft is chairman, will meet within the next two weeks to take action on the report of the fine arts commission, which would place the memorial to Abraham Lincoln in Potomac Park. To Mark Spot Where Lincoln Stood. The Legion of Loyal Women of this city has made a donation of $10 toward buying a marker to designate the spot at Fort Stevens where Abraham Lincoln stood, exposed to the fire of the Confederate soldiers during the war. The members of the Legion say they regard the incident as a most important one in the history of the United States. Taft Helps Colored Republic Reed Paige Clark of Vermont has been selected by the President to be appointed by the government of Liberia as general receiver of customs of that republic. Mr. Clark has been working for several months in the Treasury Department and at custom houses familiarizing himself with the details of custom administration, and will start for his post within the next few months. The amount of the loan to Liberia is about 1,500,000, the capital being supplied by international agreement by American, British, French and German bankers. In addition to the American receiver general, there will be customs receivers of the four nationalities, selected by their own governments. The State Department feels that in lending its assistance to the consumption of this loan an old excuse for the occupation of Liberian territory, which might have been permanent, was taken from the hands of covetous officials and the little republic given a chance to preserve its American heritage of freedom and independence. Washington at the Business League, Mr. R. L. Waring, president of the local Business League, says that a number of Washington business men will go to the national meeting at Little Rock, Ark., August 16-18. Mr. Waring will try to get up a Pullman party. Mr. Taft Honors Dying Wish. In sending to the Senate the nomination of Charles S. Finch as postmaster at Lawrence, Kan., President Taft yesterday complied with the dying request of Representative A. C. Mitchell, of the Second Kansas district, and proved that politics is not always as cold-blooded as painted. Trades in School. The boy or girl who desires to follow a trade will be given the opportunity for preparation next fall, when, with the opening of the public schools of this city, two graded schools built largely for the purpose of teaching trades will be opened. The opening of these schools will in all probable precipitate the decision whether a school shall remain the same kind of a school it now is or whether it shall become a "technical" school. Assistant Superintendent R. C. Bruce thinks this will be done. Nebraska for Taft. The regulars or Taft men, were in control of the convention by more than two to one. Resolutions indorsing the administration of President Taft were adopted without any opposition from the insurgents who were supposed to be lined up for La Follette. The latter resisted the adoption of the resolutions, as they had threatened to do. Resolutions indorsing the Nebraska delegation in Congress were also passed. Colored Church Workers Plan A meeting of religious workers representing all of the colored churches in the District of Columbia is to be held at Shiloh Baptist Church this evening at 8 o'clock, for the purported performances plans for the operation of Gospel Christian workers among the colored people of the District of Columbia. Postal Employes Get Increased Pay Postmaster Employees get increased Pay. Postmaster General Hitchcock has issued orders for the payment of about $1,200,000 for the promotion of post office clerks during the current fiscal year and of about $800,000 for the promotion of city letter carriers. Thus the four great groups of post employees, city post office clerks, railway mail clerks, city letter carriers, and rural letter carriers will receive during the fiscal year beginning July 1, advances in pay aggregating more than $6,000,000, which is unprecedented. Mr. Hitchcock favors liberal compensation for postal employees, believing that it means increased efficiency. Notwithstanding the increases in pay there will be a surplus of receipts over expenditures, the most remarkable showing ever made in the history of the Postoffice Department. Universal Races Congress Opens. The First Universal Races Congress opened in London today and will continue four days. Prof. W. E. B. Du Bois, of Atlanta University, Prof. W. S. Scarborough, Prof. E. Earl Finch, of Wilberforce; Major R. R. Maten, of Hampton, and Rev. G. T. Walker, of Augusta, will represent the colored people of the United States. M. HON. N. W. ALEXANDER. Register of Land Office, Montgomery, Ala. Census Office Ax Decapitates 176. The ax fell at the census office Saturday and the official heads of 176 of the temporary clerks were lopped off, many of them appointees from the District of Columbia and Maryland and Virginia. NATIONAL BUSINESS LEAGUE. The National Negro Business League will hold its Twelfth Annual Meeting at Little Rock Arkansas, Wednesday. Thursday and Friday, August 16th, 17th and 18th, 1911. Those intending to be present should notify W. M. Alexander, Chairman Committee on Homes, $504\frac{1}{2}$ W. 9th Street, Little Rock, as early as possible! Governor George W. Donaghey, of Arkansas, is manifesting great interest in this coming meeting, and has assured the Local League of his entire willingness to do everything possible toward making the meeting a success. Governor Donaghey, the Little Rock Chamber of Commerce, and the most important white citizens of Little Rock joined with the Local League of Little Rock in inviting the National Organization to Little Rock The annual meetings of the National Negro Business League are yearly increasing in value and helpfulness to the race. They bring progressive colored men and women together from every section of the country, and afford a chance to become acquainted and exchange ideas with each other. Hon. J. E. Bush, a member of the Executive Committee of the National organization, is the leading spirit in all of the activities now being made for the coming meeting, and is especially anxious to have Northern members of the League present in large numbers. "It is no further from New York to Little Rock than it is from York to New York. Arkansas has always been largely represented at every meeting of the National Organization." Mr. Bush assures the Northern members that the progress which the colored people of Arkansas have made will fully warrant their coming South in large numbers. The railroads have already consented to make an attractive rate for this coming meeting, and delegates are especially urged to give attention to the matter of arranging for Pullman or tourist car parties.

A traveler passing through the Broad Top mountain district in northern Bedford county, Pennsylvania, last summer came across across a lad of sixteen cultivating a patch of miserable potatoes. He remarked upon their unpromising appearance and expressed pity for any one that had to dlg a living out of such soil. "I don't need no pity," said the boy resentfully. The traveler hastened to soothe his wounded pride. But in the offended tone of one who has been misjudged the boy added: "I can't as poor as you think. I'm only workin' here. I don't own this place."

Since the Quarto-Centennial Celebration of last September, commemorating the twenty-fifth anniversary of the birth of THE APEAL, was such an unprecedented success, from every point of view; and, is remembered, with pleasure, by every one who had the good fortune to be present on that, never-to-be-forgotten, occasional, has occurred to me that another such person would be bailed with delight by all who, for ent, as well as by those who, for some reason or another, were deprived of that blessed privilege; and who would not miss the opportunity if it was again offered to them. I also recall the fact that the twenty-fifth anniversary of your association with THE APPEAL occurs this year; and I feel that this is an event as worthy of being celebrated as the birth of the paper; if not for it, or, if it undoubtedly is owing entirely to your managerial ability and indefatigable labors that THE APPEAL has enabled to withstand the storms that wrecked many like ventures upon the rocks of adversity. And it does seem to me that it will be very fitting and proper for the people of the Twin Cities to show a just recognition of the herculean task you have accomplished in maintaining an organ in their interest for a quarter of a century, by tendering you a testimonial on the twenty-fifth anniversary of your connection with the paper, or, on such other date that in your judgment is more convenient, suggest, if it meets your approval, as I know it will, then THE APPEAL and your friends generally—that you proceed to carry out that idea along the lines employed in the Quarto-Centennial Celebration of THE APPEAL last year. I have no especial suggestions to make, as the success of last year's affair, as well as many other social functions that have been under your control testify to your exceptionable ability to manage them "to a queen's taste," therefore, I feel sure you would carry this to a successful issue, if left to follow the bent of your own inclination. I am satisfied that I voice the sentiments of the people of Minneapolis. Respectfully yours, R. S. Brown, M. D. 4 SUITS PRESSED VALET TAILORING CO 156 E. SIXTH ST $1 BOTH PHONES 600 HAAS BROS.
