Defective Page RIVAL BOOMS CREATE TUMULT Headquarters of Various Presidential Candidates—Advent of Roosevelt Increases the Turmoil — Calendar Wednesday to Stay—Breaking Hoke Smith to Harness. By ARTHUR W. DUNN. Washington, March 15.—[Special.]—"Going at each other hammer and tonge" is an old expression, yet it fits the present situation in regard to the numerous political headquarters which have been located in Washington and where "the political pot is boiling," where "politics is seething," and, in fact, where everything is just as hot and as much stirred up as all these old expressions imply. For a time the riot was confined to the Democratic party and was started by the Wilson-Watterson-Harvey row. Since that time there have been some very hot words passed by Champ Clark and the Wilson managers, not to say "inside kicks" by Bryan and others from a distance. But the establishment of Taft and Roosevelt headquarters in Washington started things moving in the Republican camp. For months the La Follette headquarters had been running along-overtime, in fact—turning out much literature and making considerable noise, but the advent of Roosevelt's "hat in the ring" made the Taft men open headquarters, which was quickly followed by the Roosevelt men. And now everything is going at high tension, with steam escaping from the safety valves of every political engine. It indicates that 1912 is going to be anything but a tame political year. Passing Legislation. While there are a great many men in the house—mostly the leaders—who complain about the amended rules providing for calendar Wednesday and unanimous consent without application to the speaker, it is a fact that much useful legislation is passed on these days. It is true that appropriation bills are delayed, but without the days so set apart much legislation could never be considered. No matter which party wins, these amended rules have come to stay. Too Big a Bet. Speaking of the last tariff bill which came out of the ways and means committee, wiping out $53,000,000 of revenue and providing for an income tax, John Sharp Williams, who has given a great deal of attention to tariff matters, remarked, "I'm something of a sport, but I am not willing to bet $50,000,000 that the supreme court will reverse itself on the income tax proposition." That remark looks as if Williams, always in favor of the reduction of the tariff, is not going to support this particular bill. Hoke's Realization. Hoke Smith has been a cabinet officer and twice governor of Georgia, and he does not always relish the patronizing of the "elder statesmen" of the senate. "After the senator has been here awhile longer he will learn," etc, remarked Senator Gallinger, who is almost the dean of the senate. "I realize that there is a great deal for me to learn after I have been here awhile longer," replied Hoke Smith. Matter of Concern. The disagreeable weather along about the 4th of March gave the friends of the movement to change the date of inauguration an opportunity to ride their hobby. Among them was J. Hampton Moore of Philadelphia, who took the floor in the house to say that it was very apparent that the weather conditions should cause a change. "Does not the gentleman think," asked Fitzgerald of New York, "that as a Republican he is unduly concerned about the character of the weather in Washington a year hence?" Moore denied it and said that if the honored speaker, then in the chair, "is to be promoted from his present position to the presidency his health and life should be preserved a year hence, when he will be inaugurated." Atlases In the House. Every person who has been at school recalls the picture in the geography of Atlas bearing on his shoulders the earth, hence the following: "The trouble with the house," remarked Congressman Rucker of Colorado, "is that we have too many Atlases. They are constantly in fear that something may happen and the earth which they are bearing upon their shoulders will tip over and slide off with a tremendous crash. They are awful serious about this, as we can see from day to day." It Sometimes Gets Serious. They do more or less joking around the executive offices these days as to what will happen to the earnest Taft men who are there. "You will get canned," or "You won't be allowed to stay around here" and "There will be a new deal when Teddy comes back" and such remarks are often heard. But they get real serious occasionally because some of those men believe that T. R. cannot be headed when he goes out for anything. FOREIGN NEWS. The Spanish cabinet, which was reorganized in April, 1911, has resigned. This action was due to a conflict of opinion between the minister of public works, Senor Gasset, and other members of the cabinet, resulting in the resignation of Senor Gasset. Premier Canalejas then decided that a complete reconstruction of the ministry was necessary. Lieutenant General Sir Frederick Walter Kitchener, governor and commander-in-chief of Bermuda, is dead after an operation for appendicitis. Sir Frederick Kitchener, who was born in 1858, was a brother of the famous field marshal, Viscount Kitchener, who is now British agent and consul general in Egypt. At a state dinner given by the foreign minister of San Salvador in honor of the American secretary of state Mr. Knox-made a plea for closer intercourse between the republics. The dinner was held at the palace and was the chief function of the secretary's visit to San Salvador. Seven persons, mostly firemen, are dead, one is possibly mortally injured and a number suffered serious injuries as the result of an explosion during a fire in the rear of the Radford-Wright company, limited, wholesale sash and door manufacturers of Winnipeg. The strike of German coal miners is on. Advices received from every section of the Prussian coal fields say that the men are obeying the order to quit work even better than their leaders anticipated. The entire field will be completely paralyzed within a few days. Eight thousand soldiers have revolted at Canton, China, and serious fighting has ensued. All the shops in the old and new city of Canton are closed. Many persons are reported killed or wounded and thousands of civilians are fleeing. Henri Salvey, the French aviator, arrived at issy-Los-Moullneaux, a suburb of Paris, in his monoplane, having traveled from London without a stop. He covered the distance of about 222 miles in 2 hours and 57 minutes. The home rule bill for Ireland is to be introduced into the house of commons April 9 or 10. Premier Asquith made this definite promise. POLITICAL NEWS. United States Senator Joseph M. Dixon, who is directing the Roosevelt boom, has issued a challenge to Representative William B. McKinley, director of the Taft boom, to submit the issue of the Republican presidential nomination to the voters in every state. Senator Dixon says that the Roosevelt people are willing to abide by the decision of the Republican voters and the senator accordingly challenges the Taft organization to consent to the holding of presidential primaries in every state. "I don't see why anybody should be concerned over such unimportant things," said Colonel Roosevelt, when he reached Mineola L. I., for jury service and was asked to say something about the visit of George W. Perkins at Sagamore Hill. "Why," continued the colonel, with a broad grin, "I'd see Mr. Rockefeller, Mr. Morgan, Mr. Perkins and Jim Hill all together if they wanted to see me. I'd see Gompers, Mitchell, Burns the detective and McNamara if he was pardoned and out of jail." Speaking to an audience that filleted to overflowing the collisum at Toledo, O., designed to hold 2,500 persons, President Taft declared his opposition to the recall of judges and to the recall of judicial decisions. The president made no mention of Colonel Roosevelt nor to his Columbus speech, but he assailed some of the doctrines there enunciated by his predecessor in the White House. In an address before the Swedish-American Republican league of Illinois at Chicago President Taft assailed the new doctrines advanced by Theodore Roosevelt as "the beginning and manifestations of a despotism." The president was the chief speaker at the annual banquet of the league. George F. Cotterill, municipal ownership candidate for mayor of Seattle, defeated Hiram C. Gill, "open town" candidate, by 600 majority. FROM SLAVE BOY TO STATESMAN Events In the Life of the Great Antislavery Orator Which Fired His Ambition and Made His Teachings Effective—Pleaded Cause of Self and Race Eloquently. Great men are always a part of a great movement. They are called into the world to play an important part in the arena of thought and action. Few of them, however, are blessed with the span of life which enables them to witness the triumphant consummation of their cause, as was the case of Frederick Douglass. But for the birth of Frederick Douglass in Tuckahoe Md., in 1817, that obscure village in Talbot county would hardly be known. His early surroundings were such as characterized every slave boy who witnessed the inhuman treatment of fellow slaves and heard stories of the capture of their foreparents in Africa. The events in the life of Douglass, his transference to Baltimore, to St Michael's; his experience with the "slave breaker" Edward Covey and his escape from slavery in 1838, when he assumed the name of "Douglass," partly to hide his identity and partly as a "milestone" in his new life of freedom, are well known. His lectures under the Anti-slavery society at conventions and private gatherings both in America and Europe; his publication of his newspapers; his "life narrative," "My Bondage and My Freedom;" his "Life and Times," place Frederick Douglass before the American public, and indeed before the world, as one of its effective teachers. Some will deny him the title, saying that he was not a product of the schools; that he kept no school and could not in any sense be called an educator. If by an educator is meant one whose activities are confined to the narrow regimen, of the schoolroom Douglass was not an educator, but if we mean by the term one who carries within himself the princely virtues of the great teachers of mankind, who is an inspiration to all men by his words and work, who had knowledge and sympathy, interest, enthusiasm and aptitude for viciousness, then Frederick Douglass was in every way an educator. He believed in the potentiality of every child born into the world, whether white or black. He believed that God had not bestowed his best endowments upon any single race or nation, and so he wrought for himself and his race to make actual what was potential. Mr. Douglass, like a true educator, was a man of large vision. Where there is no vision the people perish. Brutalized himself by American slavery, he sought to aid in the overthrow of the infamous system. When, therefore, the opportunity presented itself he threw himself with enthusiasm into the anti-slavery struggle and lost no opportunity to teach them its horrors and to rouse them to its hatred by his burning words. In England and America he pleaded his own and the cause of his people with weeping words and eloquent tears and became perhaps the mightiest single force in teaching the iniquities of slavery because he had been a part of it. Douglass believed in his selfhood and in his own possibilities, and out of the horrors of slavery he tried to rehabilitate the divine image stamped upon him. He made his good instincts self conscious. He taught lofty notions of personal, social and political life. He was discontented with whatever was on a low plane. He reached the mountain heights because he soared like an eagle that bathes its wings in the noon day sun. No one could see Frederick Douglass, with his head rising "like a snow capped peak" above those about him, without feeling the influence of his presence. Frederick Douglass was never ashamed of his color. He believed in his black mother, his dark hued wife and attributed much of his success to his contact with them. He believed that he was part of a great race whose development had been retarded by untoward conditions, but who when their chains were once broken and their complete emancipation insured would rise up and demonstrate the divinity with which they were clothed. Douglass, like every true educator, was an honest patriot. He loved his country. When the civil war broke out he offered his two sons to his country's cause, while he himself served it with his eloquence. For these services he was honored. For years he was the most famous character in the District of Columbia, serving as United States marshal, later as recorder of deeds and afterward as minister plenipotentiary to Haiti. While in Haiti differences arose between himself and the state department about the methods of acquiring the Mole St. Nicholas, and rather than sacrifice his manhood Douglas cabled his commission to the president and returned in glory to the banks of the Potomac. He may have failed in diplomacy, but he had retained his self respect. CONGRESSIONAL DOINGS Stripped of the clause which it was asserted would invade the constitutional treaty making power of the senate and with many other limitations added the general arbitration treaties between the United States and England and France, proposed by President Taft and Secretary Knox as firerunners of universal peace, were ratified by the senate by a vote of 76 to 3. The senators who voted against the ratification were Lorimer, Martine and Reed. The latter two are Democrats. C. F. Lynch, commissioner of public safety at Lawrence, Mass., who has charge of the police department there told the house rules committee, which is hearing testimony on conditions in the mill district strike in that city that he did not know by what authority of law women with babies in arms were taken to the police station after the riot at the depot. Guy M. Freer, a traffic expert, told the Stanley steel investigating committee that the Duluth, Missabe and Northern railroad, a subsidiary of the United States Steel corporation, made a return on its ore charges in 1910 of 240 per cent on its capital stock. The freight rate on ore was 80 cents a ton for a haul from the Messe mines to Lake Superior. That the Indian bureau has known of the conditions on the White Earth reservation in Minnesota for more than two years and has recognized the need for relieving them was shown conclusively by Indian Commissioner Robert G. Valentine on the stand before the nouse committee investigating the conditions at White Earth. An investigation of the American Woolen company, its organization, capitalization, labor conditions and status as a corporation, it is reported, would be recommended to congress by the house committee on rules, as a result of the preliminary inquiry, which has closed, into the strike of mill workers at Lawrence, Mass. A probe of the activities of the shipping trust was directed by the house when it adopted practically unantimously a resolution directing the merchant marine and fisheries committee to proceed at once to an investigation of the control of shipping by the foreign ship combine. The nomination of Mahlon W. Pittney, chancellor of the state of New Jersey, to be an associate justice of the supreme court, succeeding the late John M. Harlan, was fought an hour and a half in the executive session of the senate and action was deferred. The sugar tariff revision bill was reported favorably to the house by Chairman Underwood of the ways and means committee. The excise bill providing for an income tax to make up the loss of revenue will not be reported until later. Encouraged by the favorable reception which they believe the country is according their free sugar and income tax bills the Democratic members of the ways and means committee are considering the placing of raw wool on the free list. An adverse report on the house steel bill was ordered by the senate finance committee at a meeting of the Republican members. Senator Penrose was ordered to prepare the report. The validity of Senator Stephenson's election will be voted upon by the senate on the legislative day of March 25. UNFORTUNATE EVENTS. Rounding a curve on a thirty-foot embankment at Redwood Creek bridge, two miles west of West Lebanon, Ind. the westbound Continental limited train on the Wabash railroad left the rails and rolled down the incline, killing four persons and injuring two score or more. The seven coaches of the train were crushed into a pile at the bottom of the embankment. Six men lost their lives in a fire which attacked a Chicago lodging house. One of the six, Thomas McMahon, a painter, jumped to his death from the fourth story and the bodies of five others were found where they had been suffocated. Five persons were burned to death when a boarding house at Koppel, Pa., was destroyed by fire. The dead include the landlord, his wife and their three children. HAMPTON ENDS BIG CAMPAIGN Plantation Songs Sung by Cadets in Uniform—Stories of Indian and African Life Told by a Student—Dr. Frissell on the Value of Folklore—Tribute to Negro Music. By N. BARNETT DODSON. Philadelphia.—The midwinter financial campaign conducted in the interest of the Hampton (Va.) Normal and Agricultural institute, which closed in this city on Monday, March 4, was in many respects the most successful on record. Besides the two meetings held here, similar gatherings were held in New York, Brooklyn, Boston, New Haven and in Orange, N. J. The musical and literary programs for the various meetings were rendered by the students in the party, Dr. H. B. Frissell, Major Morton and a number of influential educators and men of prominence in public life, who told of the good work and wide influence of the school and why they believed it should receive the hearty support which it is entitled to. Among the speakers at the different meetings were Dr. Frissell, principal of the school; Major R. R. Morton, Dr. James M. Taylor of Vassar college, Dr. Booker T. Washington, Professor Henry Farnam of Yale college, Dr. James M. Ludlow, the Hon, George McAneny of New York, Mr. Frank L. Babbott, president of the Brooklyn Armstrong association, Mr. Robert C. Ogden and the Hon Joseph H. Choate. The plantation songs sung by thirty Hampton cadets in uniform and the stories of Indian and African life told by Wolf, one of the Indian students who are taking the blacksmith trade at Hampton, and Madikane Quandyane Cele, a Zulu graduate in wheelwrighting, were instructive as well as highly amusing. Dr. Hollis B. Frissell, who has been the principal of Hampton institute since 1893, spoke on "Negro and Indian Folklore." He said in part: "The children of the emancipated slaves were generally taught to forget all that reminded them of the long DR. HOLLIS B. PRISSELL years of race bondage, and the more enlightened of their children are only just awakening to the fact that in forgetting those old spirituals or religious songs they are allowing a priceless inheritance to slip away from them. The Indians, although not so prone to despise that which is exclusively their own, have been inclined to guard it jealously from the scrutiny of the white man. "So it is that many of their traditions, songs, customs and crafts have been permanently lost. The present day Indian undoubtedly owes his retentive memory, his quick ear and his fleet foot chiefly to the ancestors who memorized the long stories and the detail of the complex ceremonies and whose strenuous physical training developed suppleness and endurance. Each race of mankind has its own peculiar riches, and each must contribute something to the civilization of the world. "The warlike Zulu tribe of South Africa has many customs and ceremonies strikingly like those of the aboriginal American. The Zulu love song, sung under similar restrictions, conveys the same message, and the war dance has not only similar steps, but the same purpose of inciting to bravery and endurance. In slavery the Negro lost entirely his love songs and his war songs. In their place grew up the labor songs, a few game and dance songs and a vast number and variety of spirituals or plantation songs. "Of the Negro music Walter Dam- No. 30. rosch has said: 'If proof positive of a soul in the Negro race should be demanded it can be given, for they have brought over from Africa and developed in this country, even under all the unfavorable conditions of slavery, a music so wonderful, so beautiful and yet so strange that, like the gypsy music of Hungary, it is alike the admiration and despair of educated musicians of our race. In it they pour out their joys and sorrows in a naive but wonderfully moving fashion, and, in the face of such testimony of emotional and aesthetical beauty, who dare deny them greater possibilities in the work of liberation of mind and soul which is now going on?'

SUPREME COURT OF ODD FELLOWS For the first time in its history St. Paul is to be visited by Grand Officers of the G. U. O. O. F., for the purpose of transacting the business of the Order.

The bee has two stomachs, one in which to store the honey it gathers, and the other, totally distinct, for digestive purposes. The honey it can keep intact indefinitely, until such time as it returns to the hive. Thus the bee vies with the camel, in having storage place, and with the sow, which has a cud sask. Man has no such provision, and when enjoying his golden grain belt beers, must cautiously use just what is good for an aid to digestion. He has no place to store a reserve supply.

We are in touch with a most deplorable situation which will expose the real character of one who has borne an apparent spotless reputation for more than twenty years in this community. An exposure of this nature will undo the work of a life-time; disrupt a family, and bring disgrace upon a blind and trusting people. Atty F. L. McGhee of St. Paul called a number of citizens of the Twin Cities to meet at Union Block on the evening of March 12th, to consider the advisability of effecting a local organization to affiliate with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People which holds its annual convention in Chicago, April, 1912, and to send a delegate to represent them at said convention. With Atty. McGhee as chairman and Editor J. Q. Adams, Secretary, those present proceeded to discuss the matter. The local organization was unanimously endorsed, but considerable opposition was met with, relative to national affiliation. Said opposition was based upon the ground that any national affiliation with the association would tend to promote and encourage strife between our two leaders, Prof. Dubols and Dr. Washington. The chair appointed,a committee on organization, John Dillingham, chairman. Those present from St. Paul were: J. H. Loomis, Geo. W. Wills, John H. Dillingham, Dr. Valdo Turner, Dr. Geo. W. James, Ora C. Hall, Owen Howell, Atty. R. O. Lee, Rev. Father A. H. Lealted. From Minneapolis: Schuyler Phillips, B. M. McDew, Fitzroy Celestine, Al Moss, Atty. B. S. Smith, Sergt. Z. A. Pope and Chas. Sumner Smith. Letters of regret were read from Atty. Wm. R. Morris, John H. Allison, Dr. R. S. Brown and W. J. Utley. We can frankly say that the people enjoy reading the "Crisis" but they do not take kindly to the association for the Advancement of Colored People, because it is composed of Negroes who are waging everlasting warfare among themselves.

New Members of Faculty at Howard University Arouse Interest. Washington.—It is encouraging to note the continued increase of interest in the study of modern languages at Howard university as indicated by the large enrollment in the classes, especially in German. Within three months after Dr. Schmidt took up his work in German there was a marked growth in interest and enthusiasm. This advance has been kept up through the addition to the faculty of Mr. James S. Thomas who was elected instructor in German at the last meeting of the board. He has fully justified the high estimate placed upon him as scholar and teacher. A German club of over sixty members has been organized, where all the proceedings are carried on in German. While the high water mark in attendance in the School of Theology reached last year has not been wholly maintained, yet the work in this important department shows progress. The accession of Dr. Pezavia O'Connell to the chair of Bible history, church history and Hebrew and Greek Scriptures brings to the work a man of unusual scholarship, vigor of thought and deep religious devotion. Besides the work in theology, Dr. O'Connell has thrown himself with deep interest into the religious work of the university, besides impressing Washington and the outlying cities and towns through his personality and vigorous religious utterances. Alumni Association Broadene Work. It is a trumor that the larger life and influence of a real university are not in its buildings or grounds or in its faculty or student body, but in its alumni. One of the discouraging features in the past history of Howard has been in the fact that there has seemed such a slight attachment to the university on the part of the great body of its alumni. It is gratifying, however, or note a decided growth of interest on the part of the alumni. The annual meetings have greatly increased in attendance. The luncheon tendered to the alumni by the board of trustees has been of marked value and greatly appreciated. Within the past few months there has been an advance in larger plans for the unifying of alumni sentiment and loyalty as has not been seen before in the history of the institution. A strong executive board has been formed, a well defined constitution has been prepared and adopted, a secretary has been employed for reaching the last alumnus, an official list of members is being prepared, and plans looking to a great reunion at commencement have been formulated and are being pressed on the attention of the whole alumni body. The gymnasium project, which started out with much hope, but almost wholly declined in interest after the first $1,000 had been raised, has been taken up again with vigor. It is planned to keep up this work until the $10,000 goal is reached. There are eleven city organizations of the alumni, and others are being formed. GREEK LETTER MEN HOLD FINE POLITICAL DEBATE Constant Party Support or Independence In Voting Considered. Perhaps no organization of a literary character occupies a warmer place in the hearts of Philadelphia than the Iota Sigma (Intercollegates)' club of that city. The Intercollegates' club was organized a little more than a year ago for the purpose of getting the colored students together, believing that such association would benefit each one and that student life would have more effect upon the community. The success of the club is largely due to the loyalty of its members and also to the encouragement which the organization has received from its immediate friends and the general public. The club represents five colleges—namely, University of Pennsylvania, Temple university, Medico-Chirurgical college, Philadelphia Dental college and the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy. Among the activities of the club are to be found a basketball team, a track team, a baseball team, a tennis team and a glee club. The debating team met the Harrisburg (Pa.) Intercollegiate's forum debaters on March 8, subject for discussion, "Can a Citizen Better Serve His Country by Consistently Supporting One Party Than by Being an Independent Voter?" Those representing the Philadelphia Intercollegiate on the affirmative were Philip J. Jones and George C. Hayes of the University of Pennsylvania and Whittier H. Wright of Temple university. Those representing the negative were Luther L. Newman, Stewart Davis and Denny Bibbs of Dickinson college of Pennsylvania. The debate was held at Cherry Memorial Baptist church, of which the Rev. William A. Credit, LL D., is pastor. Great interest was manifested throughout the city in this meeting, which was the most popular literary event thus far this season. Hawkins Fights For People's Rights. The colored people of Baltimore should give their moral and financial support to Lawyer Ashble Hawkins in his fight against discrimination on the bay steamboats, says the Baltimore Afro-American Ledger. It is a fight for the rights of the people, and he ought to be sustained. It has been demonstrated that we can accomplish something if we go at it in earnest and in the right way. Lawyer Hawkins is not fighting his own battles, but the battle is for the people, and the people should sustain him. ST. THOMAS EPISCOPAL SCURCH 5th Ave. So. and 27th St. Minn. Rev A. H.

REACHED HIS GOKL DEG, 14 (Copyrighted, 1912, by New York Times Company. All rights reserved.) * Hobart, Tasmania, March 8, 11:20 @. m—On the 10th of February, 1911, ‘we commenced to work our way to ‘ward the south, from that day to the Ath of April establishing three de- ots, which in all contained a quan- tity of provisions of about 3,000 kilos. ‘The ground and the state of the Barrier were of the best, especially ‘woll adapted to driving with dogs. On Feb. 15 we had thus traveled about 100 kilometers. On the 4th of March, on our return from the first trip be ginning on the 15th of February, we found out that the Fram had already Jeft us. With pride and delight we heard that her smart captain had suc- @eeded in sailing her further south and there hoisting the colors of his eountry, a glorious moment for him ‘ang his comrades, the furthest north and the furthest south, good old Fram. ‘The highest latitude attained was 78 degrees 41 minutes. Before the arrival of winter we had ,000 kilos of seal meat in the depots, @nough for ourselves and 110 dogs. Hight dog houses, a combination of tents and snow huts, were built. ‘The sun left us on the 22nd of April and did not return until four months later. The winter was spent’in chang- ing our whole outfit, which on the de- pot trips was found to be too ‘clumsy ‘and solid for the smooth surface of the barrier. Besides this as much aclentific work as possible was done ‘and some astonishing meteorological observations were taken. FIRST START FOR THE POLE. On Sept. 8 eight men, with seven ledges, ninety dogs and provisions for four months started.. The ground was perfect. The temperature was not bad. The next day it ap eared that we had started too early, as the temperature of the following days fell and was kept steady between minus 50 and 60 celsius (58 degrees and 76 degrees) below zero Fahren- heft. We agreed on returning and to ‘wait for the arrival of spring, The provision were cached and we re- turned to the hut. About the middle ef October spring came in earnest. On Oct. 20 the exploring party start- e4; five men, four sledges, fifty-two dogs and provisions for four months; everything in excellent order. ‘We had made up our minds to take the first part of the trip as easily as Possible, in order to give ourselves and the dogs a rational training and on the 28rd we made our depot in 80 degrees south. We went right ahead tm spite of the dense fog. On the 3ist we reached the depot at 81 degrees and stopped there one day. We reached the depot at 82 degrees en the bth of November. On the 11th ‘we made the interesting discovery that ‘the Ross barrier terminated in a bight toward the southeast at 86 degrees south latitude and 163 degrees west Tongitude formed between the south- ast mountain range running from South Victoria Land and a range on the opposite side running in a south- easterly direction. On the 13th we reached 84 degrees, where we established a depot, On the 16th we were at 85 degrees, where, also, we made # depot. On the 17th ef November, at 85 degrees, we ar- rived at a place where the land and Barrier were connected. ‘Here we made our head depot, tak. ing provieions for sixty days on sledges and leaving thirty days’ pro- visions on the spot. A DIFFICULT CLIMB. ‘The land under which we lay and which we now had to attack looked quite imposing. The nearest summits @long the barrier had a height from 2,000 to 10,000 feet, but several oth. rs further south were 15,000 feet or more. The next day we began the limb. ‘The first day we climbed 2,000 feet; the next day mostly up some small glaciers, camping at a helght of 4,500 feet. The third day we were obliged to go down on a mighty glacier, “Axel Hetbers’s glacier,” which divided the coast mountains and the mountains further south. It took only four days from the barrier to get up on the vast inland jateau. We camped that night at s Beene of 10,600 feet. Here we had to Kill twenty-four of our brave compan fons and keep eighteen, six for eact of our three sledges. We stopped here four days on account of bad weather. Tired of this we set out on the 25th of November. We contin wed our march the next day in s gale and ¢ dense snow drift and go ‘eur faces badly frozen, We could se ‘Bothing. We reached that day 86 de THE MAN AND THE WAY.

On the 29th it calmed down and the sun shone, though it was not the only pleasant surprise he gave. In our course stretched a big glacier run- ming toward the south. At ite east- ern end was the mountain range go- ing in a eoutheasterly direction. Of the western part of it no view was to be had, it being hidden in the dense fog. At the foot of this glacier, the “Devils Glacier,” a depot for six days ‘was established, at 86.21 degrees south latitude. The hypsometer indicated 8,000 feet above sea level. SPLENDID MOUNTAIN VIEW. On Nov. 30 we began to climb the glaciers, and on the 6th of Decem- ber we got our greatest height, ac- cording to the hypsometer and ane- roid 10,750 feet, at 87 degrees 40 min- utes south. On Dec. 8 we came out of the bad weather. Once again the sun smiled down on us. Once again we could get an observation. Dead reck- oning and observation were exactly alike—88 degrees, 88 minutes, 16.6 seconds south. Before us lay an ab- solute plain plateau, only here and there marked with a tiny sastrugi. In the afternoon we passed 88 de- grees 28 minutes (Shackleton’s furth- | est south was 88 degrees 35 minutes). We camped and established our last depot, depot No. 10. From 88 degrees 25 minutes the plateau began to slope down very gently and smoothly toward the other, side. On the next day we reached 88 degrees 39 minutes, on Dec. 10 88 de grees 66 minutes, Dec. 11 89 degrees 15 minutes, Dec. 12 89 degrees 30 min- utes, Dec. 18 89 degrees 45 minutes. ‘Up to this time the observations and dead réckoning agreed remark- ably well and we made out that we ought to be at the pole on Dec. 14. ‘That day was a beautiful one—a Nght breeze from southeast, the tem- perature minus 23 celsius (29.4 degrees below sero Fahrenheit) and the ground and sleighing were perfect ‘The day went along as usual and at 3 p. m. we made a halt. According tc lour reckoning we had reached ow destination. All of us gathered around the colors--a beautiful silk flag—all hands taking hold of it and planting It. IN HONOR OF HAAKON. ‘The vast plateau on which the pole is standing got the name of the “King Haakon VIL.

The re ‘ sult gave us 89 degrees 55 minutes. | In order to observe the pole as close as possible we traveled, as near south as possible, the remaining nine kilometers. On Dec. 16th there we camped. It was an excellent opportunity. There was a brilliant sun. Four of us took cbservations every hour of the day's | twenty-four hours. The exact resul | will be the matter of a professional private report, On Dec. 17 everything was in order on the spot. We fastened to the ground a little tent we had brought along, a Norwegian flag and the Fram pennant on the top of it. The Norwe gian home at the South pole was called “Polheim.” ‘The distance from our winter quar ters to the pole was about 1,400 kilo meters. The average march a day was twenty-five kilometers. ‘We started on the return trip on the 11th of December. Unusually favorable weather made our way home consider ably easier than the journey to the pole.

M, Stearns. After the healing of the leper great multitudes came together to hear Him ‘and to be healed by Him of their in- firmities. We can hardly imagine the innumerable happy homes, because where once sickness and suffering ruled now all is health and peace be- cause of Him who, being anointed with the Holy Ghost and with power, went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil, God being with Him (Acts x, 88). See in this verse, as in so many others, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, all for ‘us, and compare Rom. vill, 26, 81-84. In Luke v, 16, we read that He withdrew Himself into the wilderness and pray- ed. There was always a conscious oneness with the Father which we do not experience, because He always in all things pleased the Father (John vill, 29; Matt. xvil, 5). The healing of today’s lesson is recorded in Matt. ix and Luke v, as well as in Mark. Having returned to Capernaum, the people soon found it out, and such crowds gathered as to prevent all ac- cess to the house in any ordinary way. Pharisees and doctors of the law from Galllee, Judea and Jerusalem had gathered to hear Him, and He preach- ed the word unto them, and the power of the Lord was present to heal them (verse 2; Luke v, 17). But in thetr own estimation they needed no heal- ing, for they did not know that with all thelr learning they were wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked (Rev. ili, 17). ‘The religious god of this world, the devil, had blinded their minds lest the light should shine unto them (II Cor. tv, 4). What a con- trast to thelr proud self sufficiency and indifference to the welfare of others fs seen in these four men who brought their paisted friend to Jesus, no doubt fally persuaded that if they could only reach Him with the sick one they would not need to carry him away, for he would certainly be healed. I have met people who were afraid that they had not come to Jesus in the right way, but did ever any one come to Him in so strange a way as this? I have often wondered what the Phari- sees and doctors thought of having the roof broken up over thelr heads, yet we cannot help laughing within us, no matter how they might scowl, for the friends succeeded in getting him “into the midst before Jesus” (Luke v, 19). In each of the three accounts it is written that Jesus saw their faith, the faith of the four who brought him. 80 in Matt. vill, 10; xv, 28; Jobn tv, 50, it was the faith of another that Drought health to the servant, the aughter and the son, May the words in Ps. xx, 4, 5, “Grant thee according to thine own heart and fulfill all thy counsel, * * * all thy petitions,” atrengthen some to lay hold upon God for others. In Matt. 1x, 2, we have the first “Be of good cheer” from the lips of the Lord. See other four in Matt. tx, 22; xiv, 27; Jobn xvi, 83; Acts xxill, 11. The four words are in the Greek, fast one word of six letters, but what ‘@ word, and from Him who alone is ‘able really to cheer or comfort us. ‘Then hear what follows, “Thy sins are forgiven thee.” This s what-the man needed more than health for his body. T heard it for my own soul in the sum mer of 1873 from I John {f, 12, with John 1, 12, Have you heard Him say ft to you? If not, why? There can be no real comfort without ft. The ‘scribes and Pharisees began to reason in thelr hearts: “This man is a bias. phemer., Who can forgive sins but God only?” If they had thought, “This must be God come down to earth, for only God can forgive sins,” they would have been correct, but tc them He was only a man, a man o! ‘the common people and a blasphemer Knowing thelr thoughts, He read then aloud to them, and we might suppos¢ that this would have led them to sec in Him more than a mere man, bu! they were thoroughly blinded by the god of this world. Then, announcing ‘Himself as the Son of man having power on earth to forgive sins, He said to the sick man, “Arise and take up thy bed and go thy way into thine house.” Immediately he did as he ‘was bidden, and they were all amazed and glorified God, saying, “We never saw it in this fashion,” “We hage seen strange things today” (verse 12; Luke ¥, 26). We may imagine the four friends rejoicing greatly and saying tc others that 1s what we expected. Are we giving the Lord cause to say to ‘us, “O ye of little faith,” or, “Great is thy faith, be ft unto thee even as thou wilt.” His calling Himself “Son of Man” might have led them to think of Ps. vill and of one who was to ‘Rave all things subdued unto Him, ot ‘of Dan. vii, 13, 14,.and of one whose dominion would be an everlastin, dominion never to be destroyed.

PATRICK, ‘The birthplace of St, Patrick bas been a disputed point among the nu- merous biographers of the Irish saint. ‘The advantage of numbers, though, perhaps, not of evidence, has been on the side of those who claim that be was born about the year 872 in Ar morle Gaul (modern Brittany), near the alte of the city of Boulogne. In ‘the saint's confessions, written in Latin about the middle of the seventh century by Adins, bishop of Bletty, ‘and now preserved in the celebrated “Book of Armagh,” are statements which conflict with the above view. &t. Patrick in his confesstona distinct- ly-states that after being freed trom slavery in Ireland be returned to his parents in Britain. ‘The Romans had long occupied the region where he was born, and in his confessions be gives his birthplace its Roman desig- nation of “Bannavent Tabernize,” which may be fdentified with Kirk- patrick, near Glasgow, or, with great- er probability still, with Parl Patrick, fon the Ayrshire coast, opposite Ire land and a short sail removed from it. ‘The claim of patrician Roman de- scent, advanced on the saint's behalf, Goes ‘not appear to have a more sub- stantial foundation in fact than that supporting his birth in anctent France. In his confessions he refers to his fa- ther, a Romanized Briton, in the fol- lowing words: “Patrem babu! Calpor ‘nium diaconum,” giving bis father bis ‘Boman name, which was probably a Tatinized form of the name originally bestowed upon him by his parents. ‘The baptismal name bestowed upon St. Patrick, “Buccath,” signifying brave in battle, is of undoubted Gaelic origin. The terminal syllable of the name “cath” means battle even in modern Gaelic. There ts little doubt that the Irish saint was of the same Celtic race as were those to whom he brought the blessings of Christianity. | Some of his blographers claim that he established the Christian religion in Ire- land without danger to himself and with no great difficulty. His confes- sions contradict this, for he states that he was frequently in danger of losing [hls life and encountered determined opposition from the Druids and the ad: ‘herents of the old religion. | Like all men who have bad a domt. nating influence in the sphere of re ligious thought, St. Patrick had intense geal and enthustasm. In his confessions St. Patrick layn no laim to superior learning and appears ‘throughout as a warm hearted, devot ‘ed, modest man. I Proverbs of St. Patrick. j Good men ought not to be voluble Bor tell a lie, for a ile is a great crime. Judges who do not judge rightly the jedgments of the church are not Jodges, but faisifiers. Officers of the church ought not to take gifts, because “gifts blind the eyes of the wise and change the words of the Jost.” Judges of the church ought not to have the fear of man, but the fear of God, because the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. ‘Those in authority im the church ought not to have the wisdom of this world, for “the wisdom of this world Is foolishness with God,” but to have ‘the wisdom of God. It is better for us to admonish the negligent, that crimes muy not abound, than to blame the things that ave been done, Solomon says, “It fs better to reprove than to be angry.” Maaieis Two rues LAnoen man meruen 1115. 9m LONG, | we Steet re Avie aS Qj PH ArO OO OOM mat 10 Zia o b) ‘% Mace shonin #] Ss i | | i we CURIS) MAILED secevene nscis #122 MAILED peers Cate onlaar, | aestirmtzcea aia Maral staan edt Neg a Soper nee seme rntss diesen nn Re RNa utd, he sel bet hand bags Mlngle Shampoo Drier st ON ricer bt Ose ASAT Se to agente: ia agi enor ne fn gy arc eaters “ibaa se Write for literature today. = * Magic Shampoo Drier Co, Minneapolis, Minnesota.

But as I have watched the careers of thi class of Negroes in practically every case thelr popularity and {nfluence with the masses of colored peopl nave not been lasting. Booker T.

LYNCHING AND LAWLESSNESS. Letter to the Outlook, by Kelly Miller. Feb. 24, 1912 The recent editorial by ex-President Roosevelt on "Lynching and Lawlessness" should center public attention upon the growing evil which is gnawing at the vitals of the Nation. As Mr. Roosevelt says, "when men grow accustomed to lynching men for one crime they speedily begin to lynch them for other crimes." "The usual crome," once alleged as the sole justifiable excuse for lynching, has now become the most unusual cause. Just as lynching and lawlessness cannot be confined to one cause, so it cannot be confined to one race or to one section of the country. Lawlessness is a swift and sure contagion which respects neither lines of latitude nor geographical demarcation. If slavery could have been confined to the South, there would have been no Republican party and no forcible emancipation. As the Nation could not live half slave and half free fifty years ago, so it cannot endure half lawless and half lawabiding today. The calling of a slave roll under the shadow of Bunker Hill Monument then was no more improbable than the burning alive of human beings on Boston Common is likely now. Negroes by the thousands have been murdered, lynched, tortured, and burned alive with indescribable horrors, while the unabashed perpetrators laugh with ghoulish glee at the nulity of the law. Immunity from punishment is high license for lawlessness. Gruesome funeral pyres light the midnight sky with their dismal glare from Texas to Coatesville. The American people look impotently on with a momentary shudder, only to lapse into their accustomed mood, in sure expectancy of another shock. At each horrid happening the press indulges in a heated spasm of righteous indignation, but soon grows cold again. The outlaws are rarely brought to trial, never to justice. The National conscience is becoming sore. Is this the final expression of our boasted American Christian civilization? Are the energies of the American people so focalized upon material values that the moral sense has become atrophied? The righteous enforcement of righteous law is the greatest issue before the Nation today. For in this is involved not only its justification for existence—but also the perpetuity of its life. The Colored Democratic organization in St. Paul seems to have struck the rock of dissolution. Irvin Welborn, one of the Democratic leaders and an officer of the organization was heard to say this week that he has almost "become" a Republican and that he is considering the matter of taking the stump for Keller. ADVERTISE—IT PAYS. MARCH CRISIS MAGAZINE. Featured by Many Facts-Pillbury on Fourteenth Amendment. Next to the strikingly beautiful head of a colored girl on the cover of the March Crisis, the most striking feature of this number is the article by the Hon. Albert E. Pillsbury, former attorney general of Massachusetts. Mr. Pillsbury contends that under the fourteenth amendment there is a clear federal remedy for lynching, and he outlines a bill calculated to meet this national disgrace. The latest statistics on Negro-American population are given, and the men of the month include J. Rosamond John, the gifted composer; the late Bishop Gaines and the young colored high school student who was a recent prize winner. The strong editorials attack the "divine right" of white men to ruin colored girls without penalty and explain what "optimism" among colored people may come to mean in the way of pessimism. Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard contributes a strong letter to a southerner on lynching. The National association announces the pleasantest and most encouraging piece of news which the Crisis ever had to recount. For some time it has been apparent that if the association was to do farreaching constructive work, if it hoped to attack the larger phases of segregation, lawlessness or disfranchisement, it must have a fund at its disposal. Such a fund should be called a fund for legal redress, and its money should be appropriated under the direction of the board of directors and the association's attorney. Mr. Julius Rosenwald of Chicago started this fund on Feb. 1 by a gift of $2,000. Shortly afterward Mr. Samuel Fels of Philadelphia augmented it by a gift of $500. This splendid beginning will make it possible for the association during the present year to carry on a much greater mass of important work than before, always provided that it increases steadily in members. Forty-one persons joined the association in January, 1912, paying $161 in memberships. L. M. Hershaw reminds us in his "Historic Dates" of General Grant's fine message on the fifteenth amendment in March, 1870, in which he denomines that amendment "a measure of grander importance than any other one act of the kind from the foundation of our free government to the present day." Miss Jessie Fauset of the Washington high school and a Phl Beta Kappa graduate of Cornell, takes charge of the "What to Read" department. Announcement is made that the Easter number will surpass all previous special numbers. Mr. W. E. D. Du Bois and his associated editors seem to be meeting with unusually encouraging success. WASHINGTON NEWS. Summing up the action of the senate in stripping the proposed arbitration treaties with France and Great Britain of their vital features, government officials who followed the negotiation of the two pacts agreed that participation by the United States in general arbitration of international difficulties was a dead issue so far as this session of congress was concerned and probably for many years to come. Indications are that a large body of the national guard will soon be ordered to the Mexican border. Conditions in Mexico are rapidly approaching a crisis. Officials of the administration declare privately that if recent advises received at the state department are corroborated a movement of regular and state troops towards the Southern border will soon be started. CRIMINAL NEWS. John T. Snead, father of John Beal Snead, the Amarillo (Tex.) banker recently tried in Fort Worth for the murder of Captain A. G. Boyce, was shot and killed at Georgetown, Tex. by R. O. Hilliard, a tenant, who then committed suicide. Hilliard left a note saying that he had killed Snead for revenge. Former Mayor Eugene E. Schmitz of San Francisco was acquitted in Judge Lawlor's court in that city of the charge of having bribed former Supervisor Wilson in a case growing out of the San Francisco graft prosecutions. LABOR NEWS. The anthracite coal miners' demands for increased pay, recognition of the union, a shorter working day and other changes were unanimously rejected by forty-seven operators. The operators adjourned sine die after appointing a committee to acquaint the United Mine Workers of America with their decision. Notices of advances in wages were posted at the textile mills in Lowell and Salem, Mass. In the former place 20,000 operatives will benefit and in the latter 1,700. The advance probably will be about 5 per cent. In the onward march of science men have learned that the dewdrop is a tiny ocean, that solidity of matter is obtained by moving particles so closely knit that the human eye seeks space in vain. These silent forces speak wonders of the glowing possibilities of man in ORGANIZED function. Kind words, pleasant smiles, pure thoughts and charitable acts not only help us live, but often make another's life worth living. TWII CITY STAR POINTS PATH OF PROGRESS. Booker T. Washington Has Just Written "My Larger Education." Booker T. Washington, the well-known leader of the movement to make the Negro a useful citizen, has just written "My Larger Education," which is a collection of his experiences as a public man and as an educator. It is practically a continuation of his "Up From Slavery" and carries on the story. In this volume Mr. Washington notes the mistakes that have been made and points to the path of progress in the further education of the black race. As the leading authority on problems growing out of the occupation of American soil by the Negro, all that he says is of interest. Numerous illustrations give the book an added value. New York: Double day, Page & Co. WHAT CONSTITUTES A SUB- SCRIBER? A court decision has lately been rendered in Massachusetts on what constitutes a subscriber. The judge firmly believed that a man who received the paper, although he never subscribed for it, is entitled to pay. James Thompson moved, and William Robinson took immediate possession, and received and accepted a weekly newspaper that was delivered to him through the mails every week. The goodnatured editor sent accounts frequently, but no attention was paid to them by Mr. Robinson. Finally there was a day of reckoning. Robinson had received the paper for some time, he informed the collector, but he said that he never subscribed and declined to pay for it. The judge personally questioned the defendant, who said that he read and made use of it and was receiving the accounts, which were frequently enclosed in the paper. Judgment was rendered in favor of the newspaper. The judge was severe in his criticism of people who are receiving papers and do not think it worth while to pay for what they receive and make use of it as an act of dishonesty, he said one should acquaint the publisher and pay for what numbers he receives.—X. It is necessary that the personalis must be sent by Wednesday. Be sure and sign all communications. NEGRO VAGRANTS. The city of Minneapolis is fast becoming a shelter for vagrants. There are men who are at times unable to get employment, but who are willing to earn an honest living. There are many others, who are generally known as idlers. They are no good to our race, no support to the places that tolerate them, or to themselves. A round up of all vagrants will better our condition. The Vag Law must be enforced.
