WILL SETTLE LABOR STRIKES New Federal Department to Assist Arbitration. WILSON TO BE NEUTRAL. Although Secretary is a Union Man, He Will Be Influenced by President and Other Members of the Cabinet. Result of Many Years of Agitation, Expect Good Results. Washington.—Reconciliation of the troubles between capital and labor was the thought in the mind of congress when it established the department of labor, with representation in the president's cabinet. The principal duty of the secretary of labor will be to act as mediator and to appoint commissioners of conciliation in labor disputes. The government thus proposes to throw its influence toward the attainment of industrial peace. William B. Wilson of Pennsylvania, the first secretary of labor, was born in Scotland. He came to this country with his parents and began working in the coal mines of Pennsylvania when he was nine years old. When he was eleven years old he was a half member in the Mine Workers' union. He has always been identified with trade union affairs. At the time of his election to congress and for eight years prior thereto he was international secretary and treasurer of the United Mine Workers of America. The creation of the department of labor is the result of long years of agitation. In 1884, responding to public sentiment, congress established a bureau of labor in the interior department. A department of labor without representation in the cabinet was created in 1888. When the department © 1913, by American Press Association. WILLIAM B. WILSON, SECRETARY OF LABOR of commerce and labor was created in 1801 the department of labor was merged with it as a bureau. The bill creating the new department extends the principle embodied in what is known as the Erdman act. This act authorized the commissioner of labor and the chairman of the interstate commerce commission to act as mediators in cases of differences between railway employers and railway employees. Under this authority peace has been maintained to a large extent in the railroad world for many years. Time and again great strikes have been averted, and efforts have been made repeatedly to extend the scope of the law to all industries of an interstate character. This was done in the recent enactment. While the secretary of labor is empowered by the law to act as a mediator and to appoint a commissioner to adjust disputes, the language of the authorization is so broad that labor troubles in the future will come directly under the eye of the president and his cabinet in an official way. The secretary of labor will not act without consultation with the president and the other members of the cabinet. Therefore the power of the federal administration will be exerted to maintain peace in all industries of an interstate character. COPY MUST REACH US BY WEDNESDAY. SMOKE THE RELIABLE 5e SIGHT DRAFT CIGAR 5e INVENTS FOLDING WING AEROPLANE New York.—Garnet Holmes, an electrical engineer of London, who is visiting this country, announces that he has completed and flown successfully a new type of aeroplane, which meets the problem of variable surface as the swallow meets it, and that he is in America to build an ocean flying machine of the same design. The location for its erection is Racine, Wis. As Mr. Holmes explains his device, it is a monoplane with wings plowed like the blades of a pair of scissors, flying with pivot foremost. In full flight the wings close backward, like the swallow's, decreasing resistance. The folding is accomplished by the force of air resistance. In rising and alighting at slow speed, when more sustaining surface is needed, the wings are fully extended by a clutch worked by the motor. The power plant is an engine built by Mr. Holmes, which, he says, develops forty horsepower, or one horsepower per pound of weight—a single cylinder, double acting gasoline motor. The experimental machine, he says, carried one person only, but the latest model is to carry aviator and two passengers and to be equipped with floats. He is confident that it will achieve a speed of more than 100 miles an hour, equaling that of the lightest and swiftest existing racing monoplanes with rigid wings, which carry no passengers. With the completion of this machine Mr. Holmes believes transatlantic flight more than possible. OFF ON LONG HIKE. Man Sixty-four Years Old to Cover Four Thousand Miles. Washington, Pa.—Charles Studebaker of this town, sixty-four years old, started on a 4,000 mile journey on foot and pushing before him a cart bearing 365 pounds of luggage. Studebaker has taken a trip of this sort before. He took the national turnpike to Cumberland, Md. From there he will proceed to Philadelphia and then over the old York road on to New Jersey and into New York, where he will stay a few days and then push on to Buffalo and around the lakes to South Bend, Ind., and from there to Chicago. He expects to return to Washington about Nov. 1 next. He will be accompanied by an intelligent fox terrier. BOUGHT HIDE, HOLDS COW. Also the Calf That Came Afterward Now Suit Is Threatened. Dow, Ill.—A countryside version here of the "Merchant of Venice," with a cow in the role of Antonio, still lacks a Porta to settle the controversy. Philip Wiegand, a farmer, found his cow was ill and was afraid she would die. Hoplig to avoid a total loss, he sold the animal's hide to James Hawkins, a neighbor and friend, for $7.50. Hawkins was to take the animal to his farm and kill it, and Wiegand was to have the carcass to feed to his hogs. But the cow began to get better in her new home, so that Hawkins was convinced she would not die, after all. He doctored the animal, with the result that she recovered, and a few days ago she gave birth to a calf. Wiegand immediately appeared and demanded that the cow with her calf be returned to him. "I sold you only her hide," he said to his neighbor. "All the rest belongs to me." "I bought the skin, and all that's inside it goes to me," retorted Hawkins. Hawkins refused to surrender the cow and calf, which, he says, he is holding as security for his investment in the cow's skin. Each has threatened to sue the other in the courts. ISLAND SEEKS ANNEXATION. American Inhabitants of Isle of Pines Will Petition Wilson. Pittsburgh.—Announcement has been made by Thomas J. Keenan of this city, president of the American Association of the Isle of Pines, that a petition directed to President Wilson and the senate, requesting annexation of the island, would be put in circulation in this country and the Isle of Pines. The petition states that 6,000 Americans who reside or have property in this Isle of Pines wish to have action taken to make the island a permanent possession of the United States. The Isle of Pines, the petition says, has become a distinctively American colony, citizens of the United States owning more than 95 per cent of the land and making up a majority of the population. RACE PROGRESS IN KENTUCKY Broad Achievements of Mrs. Daisy M. Saffell. Plenty of Business In Old Blue Grass State—Admirable Career of a Former Public School Teacher, Whose Activities Are Included In a Wide Scope of Racial Interests. Shelbyville, Ky.—That the race is making progress is shown by the successful men and women in various parts of the country who are making headway in the trades, business and professions. Their success is proving to be an inspiration to the boys and girls who are to be the future men and women. Mrs. Dalsy M. Saffell of this city is an example of what industry, honesty, ability and push will do for one possessing these qualities can do for herself. She was born in Louisville, Ky., and educated in the public schools of that city, completing the high school course, then going to Fisk university, where she took on the finishing touches. MRS. DAISY M. SAFFELL. She studied music in addition to her literary work, studying at St. Joseph Catholic academy and Fisk university. After finishing her studies Mrs. Saffell turned her attention to teaching. She spent fifteen years teaching at Frankfort, thence to Lawrenceburg. Ky., where she was principal. Later Mrs. Saffell decided to enter the business world; hence there was some more training necessary in order to make a success. She resigned school teaching and entered Clark's College of Embalming in Cincinnati, O., graduating with honors. She is the only woman in Kentucky who is a licensed embalmer, and in this she stands at the head of the class. She is deeply interested in the progress of her race and is found in everything that means racial uplift and progress. She is editor of the Kentucky Club Woman, the official organ of the Kentucky State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs. She is secretary of the Colored Funeral Directors' Association of Kentucky and treasurer of the National Association of Colored Funeral Directors. At a meeting held in connection with the National Negro Business league in Chicago in 1912 Mrs. Saffell attracted much attention by the report made to the business league in her address delivered before that body. She is a typical Kentuckian. In secret society work she is secretary of the District Household of Ruth of Kentucky, which has won for her many friends among the women. She was active at the session of the biennial movable committee held in September, 1912, in Atlanta, Ga., where she delivered an address. "I believe that there is a place for every girl of my race," says Mrs. Saffell. "The only thing is for her to make up her mind to find it. She must not sit idle, but be up and doing. She must make each day count for something. "There is plenty of room outside of school teaching, and our girls must find it in the business arena. Some have made success as lawyers, doctors, stenographers, clerks and along other lines, and I am proud of them." Mrs. Saffell was married in 1897 to Mr. G. W. Saffell, who is the principal of the Shelbyville high school. We beg that those who are indebted to us, send us their subscription by P. O. Order. Erie, Pa.--Working in one of the worst blizzards of the winter, a contractor and his men raised the Niagara, the ship which turned defeat into victory for Oliver Hazard Perry in the battle of Lake Erie, Sept. 10, 1813. A crowd of half frozen curiosity seekers were held back with difficulty when the gun ports became visible, as they established beyond a doubt that the battered hulk was that of the Niagara. The blinding snow and cracking ice halted the work, and the old craft was lifted only four feet above the water. She extends 110 feet, has a 30 foot beam and is about 10 feet deep. The keel is off the lake bottom for the first time in nearly a century. Four pontoons are located amidships and at the stern and bow, from which chains hold the Niagara up six feet. Skeptics who asserted that the hulk was that of an ancient canalboat were convinced when they saw the gun ports from which Perry's crew fired broadsides into the British fleet. Captain W. L. Morrison of the United States training ship Wolverine, who is an official of the Perry centennial committee here and an authority on historical facts relating to the Niagara, predicts that old buckles and revolvers will be discovered in the hold when she is lifted completely. It has taken three months to lift the Niagara, while the original contract promised completion in thirty days. Bad weather conditions caused the delay. WALES GETS HIS OWN HOME. King George Purchases Expensive Stafford House For Prince. London. - The king has purchased Stafford House as a future residence for the Prince of Wales. There has been considerable gossip as to where the prince should be located. The king did not feel that he could afford to keep Stafford House for his son, but a strong blunt was put out that the Labor and Socialist members of parliament would oppose any special grant for the Prince of Wales. The queen was also opposed to giving the young man any separate establishment until he was married. Gold Ring In a Cow. Corry, Pa.-A a cow belonging to Ira Williams of Corydon dying after two weeks of unaccountable sickness was cut open, and a gold ring was found on the inside of the case around the heart. It is supposed the cow swallowed the ring, which worked through the stomach into the lining of the heart. RON. WILLIAM H. LEWIS LEWIS RESIGNS POSITION. Assistant Attorney General Apparently Without Hint From Higher Up Steps Down. Washington, March 10.—William H. Lewis, the Negro lawyer of Boston, formerly Assistant U. S. District Attorney under President Roosevelt, whose appointment by former President Taft as an Assistant Attorney General raised a row in official circles, which was followed by a bitter contest over Lewis's membership in the American Bar Association, resigned today. It has not been decided whether another Negro will be appointed. CASTRO FACES A TRIPLE ALLIANCE Venezuela, Colombia and Nicaragua Against Him. WON'T LET HIM LAND THERE Fear That if He Once Got Into the Mountains He Might Cause Much Trouble—Still a Hero Among the Indians of the Andes—"General Without an Army." New York.—A triple alliance of South American governments, each of which has pledged its entire naval force to keep Cipriano Castro out of Venezuela, has been formed, according to South American agents stationed here. The governments are said to be Venezuela, Colombia and Nicaragua, each of which in its turn has frequently felt the disturbing hand of revolutionists and is said at present to want peace much more than any visit from Castro and an army such as it might be possible for him to recruit. Francisco Escobar, consul general of Colombia, told about the plans being © 1913, by American Press Association. CIPRIANO CASTRO. made by his government to keep Castro away from the neighboring state of Venezuela. "We have three naval vessels out on patrol," said Mr. Escobar, "to see that Colombia's coast is not invaded by a Castro force. They are the cruiser Cartegena, which has been recently overhauled and prepared for a war, and the gunboat Pinson and a companion vessel whose name I cannot recall. "Not only are these preparations being made at sea, but on land our government is equally determined to afford no refuge for Castro and his plotters. Every preparation has been made to seize him immediately upon landing should he slip past the naval guards. Should Castro elude both the naval vessels and the coast guards and escape into the mountains he would become a formidable problem, for our neighboring state if not for ourselves." The plan of the Castro forces, according to a version of the story concerning his revolutionary designs, is to land his men at the town of Santa Marta, in Colombia, or some spot within marching distance of that town and assemble there to recruit men from the Andes. Castro was born in the Andes, and it is generally reported that he is still a great hero among the Indians of the mountains and the men of mixed blood who live among Indians and share their prestige as fighters. The town of Santa Marta is only a few miles from the Venezuelan border, and the foothills of the Andean range rise behind it. Castro's army, it is held, could easily retreat into the Andes if pursued and could there draw to the revolution's standard all of the impetuous mountainers who are only half civilized and have no comprehension of any method of changing presidents other than an open revolution. A rumor to the effect that Castro was planning to appeal to the Nicaraguans for support under the title of honorary commander of the Nicaraguan army, which was bestowed upon him while Zelaya was president, was called to the attention of Humberto Pasos, consul general of Nicaragua. "Castro is a general without any army," said Mr. Pasos, "and we are not likely to give him any." Mr. Pasos said that his country was acting like Colombia to keep Castro out of the country and prevent his stirring up trouble on South American soil. Officials of Colombia and Nicaragua, it is understood, will attempt to keep General Hernandez, former minister from Venezuela out of their territory for fear that once established near Venezuela he will join any movement inaugurated by Castro for the overthrow of the government. General Hernandez has said, however, that he would never make an alliance with Castro although they were both opposed to the present Venezuelan government. WOMAN WITH FISH SCALES. Peculiar Skin Formation of Blind Patient Attracts Doctors. Cincinnati, O.—Members of the Cincinnati Academy of Medicine were startled at their weekly meeting by the appearance of a woman with scales, similar to those of a fish, covering her body, who was exhibited by Dr. Robert Sattler, the oculist. Dr. Sattler had her brought into the room while discussing a recent operation for the eyes. The woman was practically blind. Dr. Sattler explained that through her heredity she was afflicted with near blindness. In performing an operation on the woman's eyes Dr. Sattler discovered the peculiar scale formation of her skin. "It is one of the most unusual cases I have ever heard of," he said. "It cannot be explained." The woman told the doctors that she felt no pain or inconvenience from her peculiar covering. After the scientific curiosity of the assembly had been gratified she was whisked away in an automobile. SAYS TRIP TO THE MOON IS POSSIBLE Paris.—A stir was caused by a paper read before the members of the French Physical society by Robert Esnault Pelterle, the brilliant young engineer, on how to get from the earth to the moon in forty-eight hours. M. Pelterle insists that his idea is practicable, based on scientific calculations and not reminiscent of Jules Verne's romance. The vehicle for the first travelers to the moon will, he says, be a closed vessel of extreme lightness, provided with a motor of great power, a combination which the astonishing advances of locomotion during the past hundred years brings well into sight. Since there is no atmosphere in the space between our planet and the moon no system of propellers would be of any use, and the only possible means of driving the vehicle forward would be an adaptation of the rocket principle, which, he says, works as well in a vacuum as in air. The motor then would work a kind of continuous rocket, and M. Pelterle has made calculations of just how much power the engine must have to carry the vehicle along the 240,000 odd miles between the earth and its satellite. For a vehicle weighing one ton the motor would have to be of 414,000 horsepower. For added weight the horsepower must be proportionately increased. When this combination was realized the journey would be divided into three parts. The first would be to drive the vehicle with increasing speed until the sphere of the earth's attraction was passed. During the second the vehicle would continue its journey by inertia until it reached the point where the moon's attraction began, while the third would be the simple matter of dropping on to the latter's surface, no motive force being necessary. The first of these phases, according to the lecturer, would last 24 minutes and 9 seconds; the second phase, 48 hours and 50 minutes; the third, 8 minutes and 46 seconds, giving a total of 40 hours 17 minutes 55 seconds. During the first 4,000 miles, he says, the passengers would have the sensation of weighing one-tenth more than usual, but afterward they would cease to weigh at all and have the sensation of falling indefinitely into space. To remedy the bad physical effects which might result from these phenomena special appliances, says M. Pelterie, might be installed.

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 malls 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.

They are among the oldest and best of our race in vaudeville, and have for many years been among the international headliners. Their work is of the highest class both in song and comedy. Mr. Jones is the author of many popular hits and is a pioneer composer. Many remember, "Take your clothes and Go," "Get your money's worth," "Let me bring my clothes back home," "I'm living Easy," "My money never gives out," "Home ain't nothing like this," "You must think I'm Santa Claus," which are the result of his composition, portraying the grave and gay side of Negro characters. He was born in New York City and began his stage life with Sam. T. Jacks. Creole's in 1887, has been abroad twice and is classed as one of the high 'salaried performers'. Mr. Burt Grant, always identified with the original "In Ole Kentucky" is from Missouri. He started with Webster & Brady's production of "The Bottom of the Sea" and was several seasons with Old Kentucky, a star character in the Plantation Scene, speaking lines with the famous comedian Chas. K. French as "Ole Neb." He went to England and staged this plantation scene with white boys blackened as pickaninles returning to Boston in 1894 playing in the American production for 3 months at the Boston Theatre. He joined the team of Jones, Grant and Jones, in 1897. Mrs. Sadie Jones being the wife of Irving Jones. During the season of 1898 they worked on same bill following the famous Four Cohens with Harry Williams Specialty Co. They began working as Grant and Jones in 1910, and have always progressed with the profession. Both are clever artists. Grant is the composer of "Taploca" a well known rag. They are now playing on the Western circuit, and expect to go to Europe this year. NEW TUBERCULOSIS CURE. Italian Assets Injection of His Secret Serum Improves Patients. Rome—Gluseppl Nurgis, a Sardinian chemist, asserts he has discovered a cure for tuberculosis which is destined to eclipse that of Dr. Friedmann, the Berlin physician. It consists of a subcutaneous injection of a secret serum composed of two elements the nature of which has not been divulged. It is said experiments on animals with the serum have achieved wonderful results. Dr. Nurgis is now treating seven patients, all of whom are in the last stages of consumption. Dr. Nurgis refuses to divulge the secret of his treatment and will not allow it to be tried at the hospitals. The physician who attended the present patients admits that a decided improvement followed the first injection of the serum and that the most alarming symptoms disappeared completely. Dr. Nurgis has secured medical certificates to the effect that his unknown remedy certainly has a beneficial effect. He hopes to effect real cures before patenting the serum and announcing his discovery. ADOPT DOUBLE EDGED SWORD War Department Provides Blade For Striking or Thrusting.

The guard is strongly constructed, so as to afford complete protection to the hand, and also is roughened, so as to prevent slipping. The sword weighs a trifle more than the present type, but when in the scabbard the combined weight is about two ounces less than the old sword and scabbard. The officer's scabbard will be of dull finish. The metal portions will be noncorrosive steel. Boydton Citizens to Hold Celebration. Boydton, the county seat of Mecklenburg county, in Virginia, is one of the oldest and most favorably known inland towns in the state. One mile west of the town in a beautiful oak grove is the Boydton institute, formerly the old Randolph-Mason college. The building is of red brick and is very picturesque in appearance. It was one of the leading schools for white students just before and after the civil war. About thirty-four years ago it was opened by northern philanthropists for the education of Afro-Americans. The late Dr. Charles Culls of Boston and Mrs. Helen B. Sharpe of Old Orchard, Me., who is still living, were among the leaders in the work when the school was opened in 1879. The citizens of Boydton will hold a big fifteenth anniversary celebration on Wednesday, April 9. Aged Pair Wed. Wichita, Kan.—George K. Simkina, seventy years old, and Mrs. Jane Auld, sixty-two years old, were married here after a brief courtship. They went to church a few weeks ago and while waiting for the janitor to open the doors fell into conversation. They walked home together after services, and the acquaintance ended in marriage. Both are wealthy. Everything for Women's Wear—Popular Prices Root & Hageman women's garment store formerly "Pearce's" The Very Latest Ideas in all that pertains to Women's Wear.

Advantages Afforded For Comfort and Social Uplift by a Well Kept Hostelry In Northern Metropolis Not Generally Known—Culture and Refinement Indicated in Rich Furnishings. New York.—The advantages of club life of the better sort for men in this city are amply afforded by the Clubmen's Social club, of which the well known Charles De Van is president. Although the organization has been in existence for some time and is liberally patronized by its members and their friends, the promoters have been too modest to herald the good work which it is doing outside of the immediate benefit to its members. The home of the club is at 162 West One Hundred and Thirty-second street. The house is well fitted up for the accommodation of other social organizations as well as for its own members. The aggregate membership of the clubs which have their headquarters in this building is 500. The rooms are furnished in the most approved modern club style. The organization does not exist for pleasure only, but for a more serious purpose as well. At its very inception the idea of caring for its members in time of illness and aiding the widows or heirs of deceased members at death was taken into consideration. Members in good financial standing when ill, so as to be unable to continue their daily occupation, receive the sum of $6 per week. At the death of a member his widow or heir receives the sum of $100. The club is the rendezvous for strangers and visitors to the city, who are well cared for when reference is [Picture of a man in a suit and tie]. PRESIDENT CHARLES DE VAN. furnished as to their character. This rule is not intended to debar, but to protect the good name of the club from would be impostors. Such an organization is needed and should exert a wide influence for good. The walls of the rooms are richly decorated. The windows and doors have the best kind of material used for shades, curtains and portieres, which easily represent an outlay of from $500 to $700, to say nothing of the beautiful bric-a-brac which adorns the mantels and tables in the reception rooms. On one of the mantels is a large oval blue decorated platter whose broken parts are held together by iron clamps. The design and finish of this platter date back, as the scroll border indicates, to the eleventh century. The rug on the floor, immediately in front of the mantel mentioned above, is a handmade Turkish product valued at $250. Two of the larger clubs of the city maintain permanent headquarters in the building—namely, the Clubmen's Beneficial league, of which Mr. E. A. Warren is president, and the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Porters' association. Like all well regulated organizations of its kind, the Clubmen's Social club has its special features of entertainment, such as musicals, receptions and select parties at intervals. Once a month there is a reception held for ladies. On such occasions the electric piano is always used. It is an instrument of beauty with its various colored lights, which shed a resplendent glow upon the rich floor coverings and wall ornaments. The decorations in this room alone are valued at $1,600. The dining room, parlor, barber shop, cloakroom and library are well kept and reflect the culture and refinement of those in charge of the institution. The portraits of such noted men as Dr. Booker T. Washington, Charles W. Anderson and Harry Cummings meet the eye of the visitor upon entering the spacious hall. Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias.

Casey, of New Jersey, states the president has assured him that he is to be the next recorder. If this is true it is the establishment of a precedent no other applicant of the race has been assured. Hon. Ralph Tyler, auditor of the navy, does not think he will be succeeded by a Negro. We will wait and see. Hon. Lincoln Johnson, Recorder of Deeds, believes his successor will be a Negro, and says no one else should be considered. Bishop Waldron and E. M. Hewlett, of the Independence League, both claim they will be next Recorder. We cannot figure this out unless one is to be the deputy, and for this they will have to show us. The fight for the Hatian mission is between Hon. Geo. E. Powell, of N. J., and N. B. Marshall, of N. Y. Geo. E. Taylor, of Iowa, and Dr. B. L. Anderson, of Illinois. Rev. Geo. E. Clemons, of North Carolina, seems to be it for Register of the Treasury. The Librian mission has brought out the following candidates: J. Frank Wheaton, New York; Francis H. Warren, Michigan; G. L. Price, Oklahoma; N. B. Clark, Virginia. The Auditor of the Navy has several candidates: Jaynes, of Ohio, and Howard, of Pennsylvania. The Deputy Register appears to have only one candidate and that is Pet J. Smith, of the District of Columbia. A. E. Manning, of Indiana, is the only one to date that we believe to have a place cinched. He left the city in a jubilant mood, and said he will return shortly. The deputation that had the pleasure of seeing the president last week all feel highly gratified in having the opportunity of shaking the hand of the Lincoln of the Democratic party. The report is that you may expect to read at any time the name of one or two colord men's names for confirmation. We can assure the cabinet that the name will be well received, no matter who they are. The Negro Democracy expect much from the Secretary of State, Navy, War, Treasuhy, Commerce, Attorney General, Agriculture, Interior and Postmaster. Hon. Norman E. Mack and Hon. R. S. Hudspeth seem to be the leading lights in the "Who Is Who?" column as far as we are concernd. Thy say Mr. Bryan remembers his friends. We are pleased to learn this. It is beyond question a pleasure to be a Negro Democrat now. But we remember when it was not so pleasant. From this time on the Negro cannot be counted on color as to how his vote will be cast. Boys, there is room for all. Just be patient. It takes time. Many of you have waited almost 20 years for a national victory; others not so long. Internal Revenue Collector at New York is between Jas. L. Curtis and R. N. Wood, if the latter is appointed Curtis may be slated for Assistant Attorney General. At least this is the opinion of political gossips. Our editor, James A. Ross, was interviewed and he stated that he was among those who shook the president's hand last week. "That's all." Dr. J. B. Oliver of Indiana, seems to be in the running for Freedman's hospital. W. H. Furguson, of the District, will land something. Julius F. Taylor, of the Board Ax, is said to be slated. James H. Howard, of Pennsylvania, wears a confidential smile. Hewlett Horner and Waldron Clonn to be it in the District. Waldron wants the Recordership. So does Hewlett and Horner. Of course, they are Independents. Several Republicans that supported Taft and Roosevelt expect a plum. It looks as if Negro Democracy has been unable to find a Democrat in the District to succeed Terrell, and many have said, why not indorse him. Editor Trotter is not an applicant so says rumor, but others say he has his eye on the Recordership. You remember his father was once the Recorder. He is one of the leaders of the Independent League.—The Detroit Informer. It has just dawned upon many Negro aspirants under Wilson "that officeseeking is a mighty poor job."

NAVY TO TRAIN COLLEGE YOUTHS Summer Cruise Plan to Instruct In Sea Service. DO NOT HAVE TO ENLIST. But Must Pledge Compliance With All Orders and Regulations—Most College Heads Heartily Approve of It. Initial Cost Not Over $22 For the Men—Must Be Over Eighteen. Washington.-The navy department is preparing a plan in co-operation with college presidents for the training of their students during the summer months on board its ships, with the object of increasing and improving the personnel of the reserve available in emergency. Captain C. C. Marsh, U. S. N., in a letter to the various colleges, outlines a general order to be issued by the secretary of the navy. "Students recommended by the proper authorities of the institutions where they are pursuing courses," says Captain Marsh. "will be embarked in battleships and armored cruisers in full commission—not more than twenty students to one vessel—for a training period of about two months' duration. They must have completed two years or more of their courses and be not under eighteen years of age. One of the senior line officers of the ship will be designated in charge of the students. They will not be enlisted, but each one will be required to bind himself to observe the laws and regulations of the navy and of the ship and to obey the orders of all persons placed in authority over them. "Training will be given in the engineer department, electrical department. [Image of a man in a suit with a tie]. Photo by American Press Association. JOSEPHUS DANIELS, SECRETARY OF THE NAVY. gunnery, navigation and boats, besides general regulations and routine of shipboard life. "All students in one ship will be messed together, in the general mess, at a cost of about 40 cents a day each. They will berth and mess in a compartment set apart for them. The outfit required to be purchased will consist of a suit of blue dress uniform, two shirts of white undress, two white hats, two or more undershirts of uniform pattern, one blue flannel shirt, one suit of dungarees, a hammock mattress and two mattress covers. The cost of all the articles, which must be obtained on board, will be about $22. Until funds shall be appropriated for naval reserve purposes all expense incident to this naval training of students must be borne by themselves. "It must be understood that this is no yachting trip or summer excursion. It will involve hard work, without much regard to the hours of the day or night, for such is the custom on board ship. It is believed that the result to the individual and to the country will more than compensate for the work done and money expended." At practically every big eastern college the plan has already been indorsed. Princeton remains the exception. the students there taking the view that it would be a good thing for the navy department, but a poor investment for the student. Presidents Lowell of Harvard and Finley of the College of the City of New York have expressed hearty approval. Professor Lowell being one of those responsible for putting it on foot. Chancellor Brown of New York university thinks "it ought to be possible to make such an arrangement extremely valuable to the students who should avail themselves of it."

HOW ONE COLLEGE HAS HELPED NEGOES. Bright plumaged minstrels flitted through the air And chanted matine to the day new born. The hills and valleys and the city fair Gleamed in the beauty of the early morn. In a certain county in Mississippi, says a writer in the Southern Workman, a college for white boys has inspired and positively helped the Negroes of the county. "A spirit of sympathy and good will has shown itself in conduct. The college employs a number of Negroes to work on the college farm. Working as they must under the direction of a trained agriculturist, these men learn, through doing, many vital principles of effective farming. They eventually start up farms of their own and thus carry with them the experience gained under trained oversight. Their success in the community where they live becomes an object lesson to the neighbors around. Again, the college experiments in taxing the productive capacity under certain conditions of an acre of cotton or corn in full view of the pedestrians to and from town. This experiment is watched with the keenest interest by those who are aware of what is being done, and this has proven to be a very effective kind of object lesson. The college further sends out men to hold farmers' institutes for Negroes in various parts of the county. Such questions as deep plowing, crop rotation, green manuring, diversity of crops, stockraising with reference to the breeding and care of stock, have been presented at different times. These institutes furnish experiences to the illiterate Negroes for the intelligent observation of work done on the college farm." Last at the cross and first to reach the grave And greet her risen Lord, but she alone Of those who knew His power to save Bad come to ponder and her loss bemoan. I SAW her once—repentant Magdalene— As Citian's art portrayed her to the gaze, Her face so beautiful, uplit by sheen Of golden tintings from the sun's first rays. She knelt before the risen Christ, her face, Rapt, pure and passionless, to his upturned In love and worship, which removed all trace Of what she suffered when He was inurned. He stood before her, with His brow thorn-scarred, And smiled upon her as she humbly knelt. But with restraining words and gesture barred The full expression of the joy she felt. THE TRUTH. There is today a tendency among colored people and among their earnest friends to tell the half-truth concerning the situation of the colored people and to condemn those who seek to tell the whole truth. But where is the harm? many think. If we tell the good things, will not the good things multiply and the hateful things die? No. It is a dangerous thing to daily with the truth. Some of the greatest catastrophes in history have come because the mass of men have been deceived and misled as to the truth of conditions by timid, well-meaning persons, who, knowing the awful facts, suppressed them systematically and spread the sweet and gentle lie. There are friends of black folk in this land. There is continual advance in human sympathy. There is an awakening in the white South on the race problem. All that is true. It is also true that the Negro American today faces the crisis of his career; race prejudice is rampant and is successfully overcoming humanitarianism in many lines, and the determination of the dominant South to beat the black man to his knees, to make him a docile ignorant beast of burden, was never stronger than today. This is the truth. Let us tell the truth, unpleasant though it be, and through the truth seek freedom. There is no other way—The Crisis --- TWIN CITY STAR IORN L. S.
