LILY WHITES PLAN TO TAKE PARTY SPOILS Would Eliminate the Negro From Republican Affairs in Georgia. LEAGUE OF TAFT CLUBS NUCLEUS OF ORGANIZATION Argue That Passage of Disfranchisement Law Has Destroyed the Usefulness of the Negro to the Party—Some Suggested Appointments. From the Atlanta Constitution. Negroes will be eliminated from holding office in Georgia under the incoming Republican administration, if the Taft clubs, organized in every county in the state and compactly formed into a state organization, has any weight with President-elect Taft. These clubs in each county and the central organization are composed of white men, there being no Negro in the entire membership. Already prominent Georgians are being suggested to supplant the few Negroes now holding office in this state. The increased strength of the Republican party, it is being urged by the Taft club members, was recruited from the white citizens of Georgia and not from the Negroes. Effect of Disfranchisement Law. Effect of Disfranchisement Law. In view of the disfranchisement law, which goes into effect in Georgia on January 1 1909, thousands of Negroes who voted this year will not be able to stand the educational qualification tests and will not be able to vote the Republican ticket four years hence, even if they wanted to, and the fact that thousands in Georgia, it is said, did not vote for Mr. Taft on Tuesday, on account of the Brownsville episode, is being used already to show Mr. Taft why he should appoint all white Republicans to office in Georgia this year. This will mean that a fight is to be made upon H. A. Rucker, the Negro collector of customs in Atlanta, and J. H. Deveaux, the Negro collector of the port at Savannah, the only large plums now being held by Negroes. With Taft clubs organized throughout the state bringing pressure to bear, it is believed weight will be had with the president in making these appointments. Following closely upon the report that Colonel Robert J. Lowry might be given a portfolio in the cabinet of Mr. Taft, other rewards for excellent work done in the interest of Mr. Taft's candidacy are being spoken of. Atlantans May Be Named. Proininent among these is the suggestion that Henry S. Jackson, president of the Fulton County Taft Club, and a hard worker in the interest of Mr. Taft in Georgia, would be urged for appointment to some high post of honor in the diplomatic service. Attorney William J. Tilson, of the new firm of Tilson, Green & McKinney, a member of the executive committee of the Fulton County Taft Club, vice president of the Georgia Association of Taft Clubs, and one of the hardest workers in the interest of Mr. Taft's candidacy in the state, is being suggested as the possible successor to District Attorney F. Carter Tate. Mr. Tilson, like Judge Taft, claims Yale as his alma mater, taking three degrees, A. B., bachelor of law and master of law, there during his seven-year course, and it is known that Judge Taft has a decided preference for men who claim with him Yale as his alma mater, all other things being equal. Mr. Tilson is president of the Yale Alumni Association of Georgia. Attorney Fulton Colville, who did active campaign work in the interest of Mr. Taft by making speeches over the state, and organizing, with Mr. Tilson the Taft rally at the Lyceum on the eve of the election, is being prominently spoken of for the position of collector of internal revenue for Georgia. The Taft supporters, too, urge that in view of the vote piled up for Mr. Taft in Chatham county that the Taft Club will select a white man to be urged to succeed Deveaux. Harry Stillwell Edwards, postmaster at Macon, is one of the foremost members of the Taft organization and is looked upon as a wheel horse in that organization. It is not believed that the new regime will make a fight upon the old party members, other than the Negroes, and that United States Marshal Walter H. Johnson and his lieutenants will continue strong in the Republican party of Georgia. Taft Club Organization. The compactness with which the Taft forces are organized is evidenced by the list of officers and executive committee of the State Association of Taft Clubs, organized at Macon on October 26 as follows: Clark Grier, of Dublin, president. William J. Tilson, of Atlanta, vice president. W. Jordan Massee, of Macon, treasurer. J. B. Gaston, of Gainesville, secretary. Warren Edwards, of Milledgeville, assistant secretary. The executive committee chosen consists of five from each congressional district, as follows: First District — Henry Blun, Sr., Savannah; S. Schartzweiss, Waynesboro; St. John Alexander, J. F.

Sidney Pittman, president of the local Negro Business League, in conjunction with the Executive Committee will arrange for a banquet of the Negro business men of the city to take place some time during the holiday season. This banquet will be one of the largest and most representative that, has ever taken place. It will be the object of the League to give these banquets annually for the purpose of bringing the larger business men in closer relation with each other. It is the purpose of President Pittman to have at least two hundred financial business men, active members of the local organization. The regular meeting of the local League will be held some time shortly, and it is the wish of the president that every member be present and bring with him two or three new members. It will be necessary that memebsr pay up to get themselves on the financial roll. ELMER DOVER. The colored voters of the country would be pleased to see Hon. Elmer Dover, of Ohio, in the Cabinet.

West REAPPOINTED BY THE PRESIDENT—FAITHFUL SERVICE. Hon. H. L. West, Commissioner of the District of Columbia, has been informed by the President that he is to be reappointed. There is no man in public life who has endeavored to serve the people of this city more faithfully than Mr. West. Mr. West has been fearless in the discharge of his duties, although COMMISSIONER OF THE WESTERN STATES J. T. W. S. Y. 510 M. HON.

Eevry citizen, high or low, rich or poor, receives the same treatment and consideration at his hands. He is popular with the citizens of Washington, irrespective of political faith, color or condition. During his incumbency in office his honesty and integrity have been and are above suspicion. President Roosevelt, in the reappointment of Wr. West, evidences his confidence in a worthy official. The colored citizens certainly appreciate and indorse the action of the President in the reappointment of Commissioner West. Read The Bee. Call Their Hand Call Their Hand FALSE CLAIMS OF NEGRO INDEPENDENTS—MAJOR DOUGLASS CALLS FOR A SHOWDOWN—WITHOUT INFUENCE AND DIDN'T DELIVER THE GOODS. Editor The Bee: "The National Negro American Political League, U. S. A." through its principal officers claimed a voting following for Bryan of 260.000 Ne- N S F R m s f t t l g i A n B Y O C groes. It claimed that in those states where the Negro voter held the balance of power, the Negro would swing that power over to the Democracy, and those states would be given to Bryan. What are the facts? Not a single state where it is claimed that Negroes hold the balance of power, went over to Bryan. The Negro voter has proven himself', sane and wise. Now let this high sounding League give an account to the public of the dollar money they received in response to their circular sent out early in the campaign. Surely from 200,000 followers at least that many dollars must have been gathered into the treasury of this League. What did they do with it? Who got it? Mr. Mack, Democratic Chairman, makes no mention of it in his report of receipts. Speak out! Who got it? Who was in the grand divide? Let the people know. You will remember that I am one of the "I told you so" prophets, for early in the campaign I claimed that the men who were at the head of this movement to carry the Negroes fite the Democratic party were without influence, and could not deliver the goods. Nobody believed they had any serious concern about the dismissed Negro battalion, else they would not be asking the race to support the very men, and party responsible for the Brownsville affair. So Declares Collector Rucker Concerning Vote Cast Tuesday. From the Atlanta, Ga., Constitution. Issue is taken by some of the Negro Republicans of the state at the formal announcement of the Republican state campaign committee, sent out from Macon on Wednesday, in which the intimation was strongly made that the Republican vote in the state was larger than usual; and that the Negroes were not materially represented in the total. Collector of Internal Revenue H. A Rucker makes the following statement: Atlanta, Ga., November 6, 1908 Editor Constitution: Your paper of yesterday, the 5th, contains the following: "The Republican campaign committee in Georgia was greatly elated over the result, and yesterday gave out, from headquarters in Macon, the following statement: Indications now point to a Bryan majority of 5.000, or less, State gave Parker 37.000 in 1904. We claim greatest victory of campaign, as the fight was made without aid of outside or speakers, and with the Negro not voting. Had the registered Negro vote been cast, the state would have given Taft a majority over all. It was a white man's fight, and result makes Georgia battleground in 1912. The people generally are pleased over Taft's election" The campaign committee and all other Republicans are elated over the vote we have been able to give Mr. Taft in this state. However, many of us are disappointed because it was not much larger than reported. We fully expected Mr. Taft's vote to exceed that of Mr. McKinley in 1896. And with the colored men rallying as they did, it is surprising this is not true. The ninth district, where the Republican vote is largely white, has done equally as well, if not better, than it did in 1896, and this is also true of the seventh district. But outside of these districts the majorities for Mr. Taft were given in the black counties, wards and precincts. These counties are Appling, Baldwin, Chatahoochee, Camden, Greene. Liberty McIntosh, Screven and Webster—the first and fourth wards of this city and Collins and South Bend districts in this county. The vote of the fourth ward alone for Mr. Taft in this county was within 57 votes of the entire vote given him in Bibb county, where the campaign committee had headquarters. Still it is alleged, as given out from these headquarters, that the Negro did not vote and that "it was a white man's fight." It seems to me that this is a gratuitous misrepresentation of the facts, which can be easily proven. I admit that many Negroes did not vote because they were under the impression that they were already disfranchised by the amendment adopted at the state election in October. When this became known many of us essayed to inform them, but this might have been done more effectively by the committee. I hope it is the purpose of the committee to be fair, and knowing the different counties of the state, as they must, if they will carefully, or even casually review the vote published in your paper, they will change their conclusion that the Negro did not vote or come up with the proof to sustain it.

Rosco $3.00 A YOUNG LION SLAYER. Three lions were killed near Pietersburg, Transvaal by the nineteen-year-old son of Jozef Erasmus, a Boer farmer. It appears that young Erasmus was on his way to the Messina mine and had outspanned his donkey team, when his kafir boy came running to tell him that three lions were tackling the donkeys. Erasmus seized his gun and ran hard in the direction indicated. On his arrival at the spot he found the lions lying around one of the donkeys. He fired and killed a big lioness. The other two jumped up but he was ready and shot another (younger) lioness. The young lion which was left ran behind some brushwood. Erasmus first collected his donkeys and brought them into safety and then once more carefully approached the scene of the fight. In order to find out if the two lionesses were dead he fired another shot at one of them. This disturbed the surviving lion who thereupon came forth roaring. Erasmus was aga'n ready and shot him dead on the spot. Asked by the Volkesstem correspondent whether he was alone at the time, Erasmus replied; "Oh, no, Oom,' I had my little Kafir boy, with me.'—The skins were sold in Pietersburg—Pretoria Volksstem.

Its skin is a dirty tawny yellow, with dark brown lozenges on the back. It is said to be attracted by fire but seldom to injure travellers. The fiercest of the lance-headed vipers is the Jaraoca, and it, also, it a dirty yellow, but it is brown-black about the tail.—Boston Herald. Birds. Fruit. Dead Leaves.

There are still to be found in Malta a number of small stones shaped and colored like the eyes, tongues and other parts of serpents. The superstitious among the Maltese connect these with the tradition that St. Paul when shipwrecked was cast on their island, and that it was there that while lighting a bundle of sticks for a fire a viper fastened on the Apostle's hand. St. Paul calmly shook the reptile off into the flames and no harm followed. The natives wear these stones as talismans, in which character they suppose them serviceable in warding off dangers from snake bites and poisons. They are found in St. Paul's Cave, imbedded in clay, and are set in rings and bracelets, and when found to be in the shape of a tongue or liver or heart are hung around the neck. They are also taken internally, dissolved in wine, which method is attended, according to some people, by more immediate results. An Air with Real Air. During one of the political tours of Mr. Cleveland, in which he was accompanied by Secretary Olney, he arrived during a severe storm at a town in which he was to speak. As he entered the carriage with his friends and was driven from the station the rain changed to hall, and immense stones battered and rattled against the vehicle. A brass band, rather demoralized by the storm, stuck bravely to its post and played. "That is the most realistic music I have ever heard," remarked the President. "What are they playing?" asked the Secretary of State. "Hall to the Chief"—with real hall!" rejoined Mr. Cleveland. White Skill. In Hawaii the Japanese children outnumber the whites and natives combined; the Chinese children are as numerous, and the Portuguese, who are in a class by themselves, more than equal the number of American-born children in Hawaii; yet it is the white children only who have successfully mastered the Hawaiian sports. I was more than amused when learning to ride the surf-board to notice that the Japanese seemed never able to acquire the difficult knack, while the small white boy very quickly became more adept than the native himself.

Fine Old English Oak Burned. One of the seven fine old oaks in Saley forest, Buckinghamshire, England, has been burned to the ground.

Saley is the second great royal forest and has belonged to the crown since the conquest. Modern Convenience. A plous man, entering business, was careful to say: "Remember, now, I cannot tell a lie!"

We form a subsidiary corporation to attend to all that sort of thing." Handy Pruning Tool. A Tennessee reader say she has made a handy pruning tool by attaching a chisel to the end of a long pole. Set the tool against the limb and hit the end of the pole with a hammer. If the tool is kept sharp it will remove the limb close to the branch and leave no ragged edges.

Of course ethere are a few exceptions, The Baptist denomination is about to build a home for the poor colored women of its faith. There is no colored Methodist home, nor a colored Presbyter- ian home;" Of the many wealthy Negro citizens of Washington, many are too stingy to build a home for their poor. We have several native Washingtonians who have money and property, but it is impossible to get them interested in the work. Mrs. Ralph W. Tyler, a citizen of Co- dumbus, Ohio, is only a tem- porary citizen, but she has been doing: more for the poor colored children than many of those who Should be more interested in the welfare of the coldred children of the city. There is too much self among the so-called well to do colored people in this city. Thousands of children are go- ing to destruction because they are not properly cared for. The colored citizens do not take the proper interest in their own chil- -tren. In many of the courts and “narrow streets in the southern section of the city, especially, hundreds of houses are too filthy to live in. The Health De- partment Should visit South Washington, between Third and Sixth: B and Maryland; and between Four and one half and Third, and Maryland avenue and C streets, southwest. The Health Department should recommend to the Commissioners the aboli- tion of all houses in courts and alleys. In the northwest, be- tween Sixth and Seventh, and N and O streets, the Health inspec- tors should go in this alley and in many of the houses and ask themselves this question: “Could I live in. ohe of these houses?” There is a great deal for the colored ministers to do right in this city, instead of sending theit . money and missionaries to Afri ca. We have Africans in every 3éetion of this city who need the light of civilization. We need all the teachers we can secure, ir this city; and when the Negrc pulpits get down to business anc teach morality, cleanliness and honesty to the denizens in th + alleys and courts of the city, in stead of attempting to lead th colored citizens into the Demo cratic party, they would be, doing a good service.

The has been a great clamor by a few disgruntled “citizens’ associations, for a change in our present government. The oppo- sition to the present form of gov- ernment was inaugurated by the Daily Post, because the Commis- sioners recommended to Con- gress a reduction in the price of gas.. This monoply is awned by Mr, John R, McClain, the Editor of the Post, and one of the larg- est shareholders in the Post. Those Senators who wrote to the Editdr of the Post are not aware that the opposition to the present Board of District Com- missioners, -is personal. They don’t know that the citizens of Washington have not asked for a change in our present form of government. If those Senators, who personally responded to the Post’s letter will read The Bee next week, they will not ‘be sur- prised to read the many failures of the elective governments’ that have controlled this city and have been complete failures, and burdens upon the people. We have had delegates in Con- gress, we have had governors, we jhave had, mayors, we have had legislatures and because they all were so rotton, Congress had to abolish them. The people were burdened with heavy taxation, and indeed, there are thousands of citizens today, paupers. by ventures of tlie feather duster legislatures that legislated for the people and controlled their affairs, * There hasn't been an-elective government in this city, that has ever amoynted to a two cent piece. The present Board of Commissioners is composed of honest and upright men. These gentlemen are properly adminis- tering the affairs of the govern- ment in a manner that all sensi- ble people applaud. POLITICAL Ake EMANCIPATION? The Daily People, a newspaper published in the city’ of New York, in the interest of the So- cialist Labor party, congratulated the colored Americans of Texas for leaving the Republican party and voting for Bryan. If those colored men had been sane-at the time, they would have thought twice before they voted the Democratic ticket, In the first place the Republican party made it possible for them to vote and the Republican party eman- cipated many of these same men, Jand all of their ancestors from physical slavery, inaugurated by the party from which they were emancipated. * None but: fools would have voted the Democratic ticket. Of course the Republican party is too sensible to hold the entire race responsible for the foolish acts and insane doctrine of those who may stab it. The Daily People lives in the hope of seeing colored men join- ing the Socialist Labor party. Will the Daily People state what its party can offer.colored Amer- icans any more than the Demo- cratic party?- The People com- plains that colored men have been holding to the Republican party to their detriment—Fhe Bee would be glad to know in what particular. Everything they possess today was given to them by the Republican party. Every ill and hardship imposed upon colored Americans is laid at the door of the Democratic party. No other party has offered to color- ed Americans what the Repub- lican party has offered and has given, notwithstanding its alleg. ed faults. . ; AFTER THE SPOILS. BES SPN MeO | ete Pena: Meee E rene, publishes a report of an organiz- ed .method of the city whites to capture the spoils in Georgia. and remove every colored office-hola- erin the state. This organiza- tion has declared ‘against two of the colored Taft men in the state, Messrs. Rucker and DeVoux. two of the most efficient officials under this administration, But, is this all? ‘ Constitution states that no éol- ored man will be able to secure an office because-the city whites Will oppose him. _ The Bee has the most implicit confidence in Mr, Taft. The Bee is confident that Mr. Taft will do as much for southern colored Re- publicans as any president we have ever had, notwithstanding ‘the Democratic disfranchisement laws. The colored Americans of Tex- as should read tlre excerpt that appears in this week's Bee, from the Atlanta Ga., Constitution and ask themselves the question, “What would Bryan have dong if he had been elected?” The vote of colored men, south, against Mr. Taft, certainly did not affect. The northern colored man showed his good sense. He knew that Bryan could never have withheld Democratic op- position against him had he been elected. ‘The colored Republicans in the south need have no fear, ‘Mr. Taft will enforce :the laws under the Constitution, SEPARATE SCHOOL «LAW. The decision of the United States Supreme Court, upholding the Kentucky Separate School law, was no surprise to the Bee. Every state will make, and has a right to make, laws that do not conflict with the Constitution of the United States. To prevent a state from passing laws of a discriminatory’ nature, __ there must be an amendment to the Constitution of the United States. The state right doetrine is bound to prevail until there is a change in our Constitution. Many state laws are inconsts- tent and unconstitutional. What right has a state to say that cer- tain citizens will not be permit: ted to vote. for president and vice president of the United States? Doesn't the Constitu- tion of the United States cover such restrictions? | If ‘the Con- stitution guarantees rights te citizens what right has a state to say mixed schools shall not exist, and such laws are upheld by the United States Supreme Court! The question is, should a state be permitted to pass discrimina: tory laws and such laws be sus tained by the. United States Su. preme Court. Such being a fact the only remedy the colored mar has is to see that he gets a suf ficient number of liberal men it {the Jegislatures who believe ir equality of citizenship. _ | SO 2 eee Information reaches-The Bee that Supervisor Baily has insti- tuted another one of his pet meet- ings, known as Friday night meetings, - Nobody has this character of meeting but the colored super- visors in the colored schools. The meetings are unnecessary and from what The Bee has been in- formed nothing is to be learned. After a teacher works all the week, certainly he doesn’t desire to wind up his weeks work by attending supervisor’s meetings from which nothing is to be learn: ed. 7 The Bee called ‘the attention of the Board of Education to these meetings some time ago and Superintendent Stewart was con- vinced that two changes in the supervising principalship would be of great help and iimprove- ment to the school. Unless the president-of the Board of Educa- tion takes an active hand in the colored schools and two of the supervising principals. the col- ored schools as well as the col- ored teachers, will amount'to very little. There cannot be’ s0 muen complaint in the colored schools without cause. Let the Friday night meetings be abolished. . PROF. LEWIS. know’ he became disgruntled.

Colored Men Supporting Bryan Try to Twist Senator Foraker’s Words. The Senator's Staunch Republi- canism Speaks Out Against Them. By Oliver Randolph. Chairman, Foraker National League. Washington, D. C,, Oct, 2, ‘08— Seeking awhority to justify their present, course of action, some colored, men who.are supporting Bryan, jug- gle and distort Senator Foraker's words vainly” attempting to glean from them Democratic advice to the colored voters. No Source For. Authority, > Not one of them can produce a single statement that the magnificent Senator Foraker has ever uttered in which he’ advises or even suggested that colorgg men should vote theDem- vcratic ticket. In all of his state- ments that have been made public, loth before and since the Republican Convention, his characteristic Repub- licanism has been 2 most striking feature. How can anyone gather from his, words material for a Dem- oeratic appeal is beyond “the power of human comphrension, He congrat=| ulated Mri Taft upon his nomination’ and said that he was his candidate because the candidate -of his party. No stronger evidence of party loyal- ty can be shown by any Republican than he displayed in that statement. Upon Senator Foraker's return from his summer vacation in Maine, he, while expressing regret at the! action of the Ohio State Committee asserted in his own forceful way that there was no basis for such unfriend- ly action on the part of the State Committee, for, notwithstanding ‘his attitude ‘on certain questions, no one could reasonably question his JRe- publicanism. The Toledo meeting with its exchange of personal regard heiween the Senator and Judge Taft and Senator Foraker’s consent to speak in behalf of the ‘Republican ticket cannot ‘be interpreted to mear that he had any sympathies with the Democrats, . Eyen .in that recent hour of su- preine temptation which came to him, when an attempt had been made to disgrace him and defame his good ;rame and his honor, a time in which most men would have fallen a victim at the tempter’s fect, yet, even in that hour of trial and tempation, Joseph Benson Foraker, ank of whom | “Every god “does” seem to set his seal To give the world assurance of a man,” . did not utter one word in favor of the Republican defeat or Democratic success, but, true partisan that he was pofnyed out how obstructions had been thrown in the way of party (success might have been averted. Unjust to Senator Foraker. | The colored men who are support- ing Mr. Bryan do Senator Foraker a rank injustice when they say that they are following that course out of regard to Senator Foraker’s wishes. In the fight between the Republican factions in Ohio. the bitter enemies of Senator Foraker attempted to trump up charges against his Repub- licanism. Why then should men who vassess friendship for and loyalty to the Senator use such an argument as RR Os a, oe result disastrously to his politica] iu- ture. Fotaker’s Republicanism. Senator Foraker is certainly a Re- publican, and those who say that he is encouraging the colored men to vote the Deniocratic ticket are guilty of questioning the sincerity of Sen- ator Foraker’s declarations, Do they mean that when he consented to take the stump for the Republican ticket ‘that he did not intend to work to secure success to the Republicar party? On the great questions that have come before the country since he has been in public life, Senator Foraker has always taken a strong Republi- can stand, He is a staunch defender of ‘the War Amendments and of all measures that tend to secure equal justice for all men without regard to race or color. He is a protectionist who belieyes in protecting home in- dustries and home labor against for. eign invasion. He believes in, and advocates the regulation 6f corpora: tions, although he did not support the ‘Hepburn Bill. In fact, he is with hi party in nearly ail, if not all, of the great questions relating to govern: mental policies. He is against every Democratic policy jand opposed te every Democratic principte, . . How absurd it is in the face oJ these facts, and how unfair it is in consideration of his record, for the colored men who are advocating the election of Mr.. Bryan, a Democrat who believes in Negro disfranchise- ment, and who is silent.on Southern outrages, to utge others to follow them because, as they’ say, m shows loyalty to Senator Foraker. No colored man should allow him: self to be fooled and hoodwinke: into the Democratic party on sucl false and‘ fraudulent plea. MR, WEST The Bee congratulates Com- missioner H. L. West, on his re- appointment as Commissioner of the District of Columbia. Mr. West deserves a reappointment, and it 1s firmly believed that every honest citizen thanks the ‘President for his reappointment. BEE LINERS. Lodges of the race will pro- tect their invested capital by standing up for Taft. : A colored ministerial conier- ence in Dayton. Ohio. the other day adopted a resolution declar- ing Wiliam Howard Taft to be the highest -type of a Christian gentleman.” The religion that Judge Taft preaches and prac- tices is good enough for us. Why doesn‘t Preachers Wal- dron and Corrothers worry some about the religious beliefs of their friends and ‘allies, Tillman and Vardaman? They are now calling © him “Wide-Mouth Trotter. The colored press “fought no- bly.” : The solid people are behind Taft. Every Negro who has a stake’ in the soil. money in the bank, property interests to safe- guard and a future to provide for is for Taft and Sherman. The Democrats who tried to sidetrack the Negro from the Re- publican party by sheding maud- lin tears over Senator Foraker, thought we were an easy mark. InjuringTaft will not help Fora- ker anyway,neither will it restore the Negro soldiers to the army. Let us keep our friends in power and the rest can be settled as we go along. , , Taft stands squarely on the platform which calls for an en. forcement, without reservation, of the 13th,14th and 15th amend. ments.- Bishop Walters committee dic ask for mention in the: Democrat: ic platform at Denver. The Dem: ocratic party was too cowardly to veto the sentiments of Varda. man, who said that the Demo: cratic party would rather gc sown in defeat than to win a vic tory with the help ofNegro votes. Vardaman will have the satis faction of going down to defeat without the Negro vote. iy phy from the perdition to which he is hastening, 4. M1. &. 410n church are calling for Corrothers resignation—and it ought to be forthcoming, with- out delay, President.Taft will enlarge our Tepresentation in the federal ser- vice -where we are drawing $8~- 000,000 annually in salaries. <As President, Bryan would cut us down to the ciphers. The places now held by us would, go to the hungry and thirsty boyr- bon Democrats. | The postal savings bank,which President Taft will perfect early in his administration, will be the best guarantee of the working- ‘man's deposits that can be devis- ed. The Bryan scheme savors of wildcat speculation and will never work out in practice. The Mosiac Templars, 150,006 strong, led by Bush and Alexan- der, the Arkansas “Giants,” are solid for Taft, | President Roosevelt is making a determined effort to compel the railroads of the South to furnish equal accommodations to their Negro patrons. This is one of “my policies” the Negro should give his heartiest endorsement by voting for Taft, who will carry the ‘President’s work to comple- tion. . A The Republicans have Tost Judge M. W. Gibbs, but they have gained Hon. Luke E. Wright. Secretary of. War. It is barely possible that the “grand old party” will not go into the hands of a reciever yet awhile. Napoleon Bonaprte Marshall, who went to Secretary Taft to draw hin out as to the amount of influence Dr. Booker T. Wash- ington would be allowed to exert with his administration, in the event of his election, has broken with the Bryan outfit and con- cedes the election of Judge Taft. With the letting down of the brilliant and erudite Marshall, Bryan's downfall began, It is just weaknesses as these, at a crit- ical stage of the game, that caus4 es Bryan to lose his fights. Four years of Roosevelt’s ad- minigtration have placed in the pockets of the Negro from one source alone — political recogni- tion —the enormous sum of $21,- 000,000. Professional men, lIa- borers, business men and domes- tic workers have prospered in proportion through the stimulat- ing force of the Rooseveit finan- cial and commercial policies, Do you want to dam up this golden stream by putting a dreamer at the head of the nation?

While on his way to the church, he was surprised to see about a dozen young lads playing marbles in the vicinity of the church. He stopped and talked to the lads in a fatherly manner, and before he concluded he got the promise of four of them that they would. play no more marbles on the Sabbath day and would attend Sabbath School next Sunday morning. If the Negro pulpit would take such interest in the lads of the city, instead of having the Juvenile Court filled with idle boys and girls they would be in the Sabbath School.

Dibble, wife of a prominent physician of Kansas City, Mo. and Mrs. Writt, of Pittsburgh, Pa., whose daughter Mrs. Woodson, has become one of the very popular young women of Washington. The function was purely a ladies affair, and the occasion was made interesting and entertaining by a musical programme. An elaborate buffet luncheon was served, and the ladies from abroad professed themselves to have been highly pleased at the reception accord d them by the guests assembled. Among those present were: Mrs. Robert H. Terrell, Mrs. R. W. Tyler, Mrs. J. C. Dancy, Dr. J. C. Dowling, Mrs. R. R. Horner, Miss Marie Thomas, Mrs. W. Sydney Pittman, Mrs. L. B. Moore, Mrs. W. H.

ELECTS OFFICERS The Evening Class in the School of Theology of Howard University, represents many states and has an enrollment, this term, of more than fifty students.

Pair, of North Carolina; Treasurer, H. K. Freeman, of Alabama; Chaplain, D. J. Edwards, of Virginia; Critic, W. W. McCary, of Washington, D. C. COMEDY "NO MEN ALLOWED." This comedy written by a young lady well known in our public school circle, to have been produced at the True Reformers' Hall on the 2nd of November, under the patronage of the Woman's Guild of St. Luke's, P. E. Church, it is said, will be postponed until further notice. It was found that the persons having the comedy in charge were unable to produce it satisfactorily at the date fixed for the entertainment. NON-COMMITTAL Rumor has it that Mr. H. Wythe Lewis, principal of the Randall School was grossly insulted before his class by Supervising Principal Baily. Mr. Lewis, when interviewed at his home, refused to say anything, further than to remark that he entertained the highest respect for Dr. Bailey, and that if anything did take place in his class room out of the ordinary, he firmly believed that it was without sinister motive on the part of Dr. Bailey. Mr. Lewis is regarded by those high in authority to be one of the best eighth grade teachers and one of the finest equipped principals of the District, earning his present honored position by hard work and application. It is said by those who have taught under him, that he is courteous at all times and is very helpful to them in suggesting new and up-to-date methods as to teaching and school management. That he not only visits their class rooms, but when time permits, teaches in them. It has been remarked by some of them that more than once they have been impressed with his kindly consideration for the aged and younger teachers. It was said by the critical Dr. Chancellor, in the presence of our esteemed principal of the Armstrong School that Mr. Lewis' preparation and school management were unsurpassed. To another principal, Dr. Chancellor said that Mr. Lewis pos- be wished that the action of the "Texas Negro Republican Voters," a body said to number 150,000 members, in announcing their independence from the Republican party, and pledging themselves to Bryan, may mark the beginning of an era of progressive enlightenment, with this year's action as "first step." Hitherto, as a rule, the Negro allowed the Republican to handle him as voting cattle, do his thinking, and "deliver" him. To be a Negro was equivalent to be a Republican, that is, a pariah of the Republican machine. The declaration of the Texas Negro Republicans turns over a new leaf—it is hoped. The declaration sets forth that the organization henceforth proposes "to sustain the political party which will best enhance the economic conditions of the country." The conclusion that, therefore, the Texas Negro Republicans will cast their vote for Bryan would seem to be a false one from given premises. Indeed, not only is not Bryan's party calculated to enhance the economic conditions of the country, nor yet, even if in some remote way Bryan's election would case up things, is his the party that tends most towards the promotion of the country's welfare. Compared with the Socialist Labor party, whose ticket the Texas Negro Republicans will find in full swing in their state, Bryan's party is not in it for soundness. But that matters not. Not by leaps does progress march. It marches from step to step. The Texas Negro Republicans have taken a first, the necessary first step. That step was to shake off the yoke with which the Republican party replaced the yoke it took off the Negroe's neck when Lincoln proclaimed them free from their rebel masters. The next steps will be easier, nor should they be long in being taken. Once on the path of progress, the Négro can not long remain out of the Socialist camp. Well may the Socialist camp make ready to receive this division of the army of the proletariat that has been wandering in the wilderness since 1805. TO PRESIDENT ROOSEVEL1.

He is a Washington boy and has taken special training in the higher mathematics, English literature and music. We predict for him unlimited success in his new field of labor. ONE CAUSE OF NEGRO VICE. Good and bad Negroes have often been forced in cities to live in the closest proximity to each other, indeed in the same room, because of the high rents charged the poor. Negroes have often suffered more than the white poor; and Negro neighborhoods have frequently been imposed upon. In more than one large city, the distinctively Negro neighborhood is the same as, or next to, that district which seems, by consent of the civil authorities, to be given up to vice. This has been most notably true in the City of Chicago, where for many years a large proportion of the Negroes—good as well as bad—were forced to live in one of the most notorious "red-light districts" of that city. While I am not disposed to minimize the extent of Negro vice, yet I have been convinced from careful observation in several large ecities that the reputation which many Negro neighborhoods have for vice is not due entirely to the Negroes themselves, but due largely, and often chiefly, to the fact that the Negroes are forced into neighborhoods which are the headquarters for the vice of whites. Their ignorance and their poverty, and often their implicit faith in the white race, keep many of them from open complaint. Here they enjoy a kind of "social equality" with the lowest class of whites, who set the pace for them in vice and crime; and here many of the children of poor but honest Southern Negroes go to school in vice and become expert in the ways of the underworld, led often by degraded whites. Here also many of the shrewder Negroes learn how to take advantage of the criminal life of their own and the white race, and often grow rich, dealing in "politics" and vice, adding to their own degradation and that of their people. — Richard R. Wright, Jr., in the Southern Workman. WELL FOR THE NEGROES. From the People. It is a consummation devoutly ti Something The credit proposition is a gigantic one to handle.

How Cocá Is Cultivated—Used as Preventive of Sleep and Fatigue. Preventive of Sleep and Fatigue. Coca is the South American invigorant. The shrub from which the coca leaves are obtained grows under favorable conditions to a height of about four meters. It is cultivated in Peru and Bolivia. At the time the crop is gathered the seeds are sown in beds, when they germinate and grow, and in two months the growing plants reach a height of about a foot. The leaves, grown in the proper sunlight and shade, are yellowish, small and thick. This is the kind of leaf that is preferred for chewing by persons using the leaf as a stimulant, fortifier and preventive of sleep and fatigue in the performance of arduous work, inasmuch as they prevent rheumatism, from which miners suffer when working in mines that contain much water. Indians who masticate the leaves of this plant can work twenty-four hours without eating or sleeping. Coca leaves are used by the natives when engaged in long and fatiguing journeys and by soldiers when subject to hardships and privations. They may be used with all kinds of food and are said to cure dyspepsia, either taken as an infusion in the shape of tea or by masticating the leaves. The life of the plant when perfect is eighty years. Run By the Tide of the Elbe. A 14,000-horse power plant operated by tidal energy is to be established on the south bank of the Elbe, near Cuxhaven. This is by far the most ambitious project of this character which has ever been contemplated. Electrical energy is to be delivered to the town named for various commercial purposes, but the greater part of the product of this great power plant is to be made use of by factories which are to be established in the vicinity. Hamburg capital is mostly interested in the scheme. Weekly Holiday Enforced. In New Zealand everybody is bound by law to take a weekly half-holiday, and there must be no shirking the obligation. The Grand hotel, Auckland, was recently crowded with guests, and several waiters, instead of obeying the law and taking their prescribed weekly half-holiday, remained at work on the promise of extra pay. But the authorities came to hear of it and the proprietor of the hotel had to appear in court, where he was convicted and punished. Japanese and Their Prisoners Japanese and their Prisoners. The Japanese have a rather kindly way of treating prisoners who have not been convicted. The regulation prison dress is a kind of strawberry-red-colored kimono, but many wear light blue, as a sign that although under suspicion, they have not yet been found guilty. When prisoners in this class have occasion to pass through the public streets curious extinguisher-like baskets are placed upon their heads. Emeralds At the present day most of the emeralds that come into the market are obtained from the famous mines of Muzo, in the Columbian province of Bayaca. These workings are situated on the eastern slope of the Andas, about 70 miles to the northwest of the town of Santa Fe de Bogota. There is another mine, called Lasquez, two days' journey by muleback from Muzo. Worries of Modern Life Nowadays we must not drink spirits nor eat meat; we must not smoke; the air of cities is poisonous, the air of country too strong; the light ruins our eyes and the noise racks our nerves; shaking hands is a means of collecting microbes and missing is pure suicide. Life is indeed growing dull and difficult.—Madrid Diario. French Illiteracy. Although France has had compulsory education for about 25 years, the percentage of illiterates reaches the high figure of 40 per 1,000 men, and 60 per 1,000 women. In this regard Germany appears to great advantage, as she has only four illiterates per 1,000 of population. Art of Eating. Eating is not merely an enjoyment; it is a science that must be learnt, as art that must be acquired by intelligent patience. The man who at middle age has not discovered what and how much is suitable for him has not finished his education. Some Big Cities. New York has about twice the population of Chicago. The five largest cities on earth are, in the order of their size, London, New York, Paris, Chicago, Berlin. London has about a third more people than New York. Character by Hat It is a strange fact, but a true one, that the kind of a hat a man wears and the way he wears it form a very good criterion of his natural character Learn This To-Day. Most of the things left undone in this world are left undone because the people that could do 'em don't know it.—Tappan Wright. Always Enveloped in Clouds of Steam- Its Strange Lakes. White Island, New Zealand, derives its name from the clouds of white steam in which it appears to be continually enveloped. Its area is only 600 acres, and its height about 880 feet above the sea level. In form and color it is like a reposing camel, while its interior with its gray, weather beaten, almost perpendicular cliffs, recalls the Coliseum at Rome. Overhanging the southern landing place stands a column of rock closely resembling a sentinel, which has been dedicated to the memory of Capt. Cook. The water of the island is of a pale green hue, and anything dipped into it becomes of a red brick color. The fumes of sulphur are always plainly perceptible. On a fine moonlight night a wonderful sight is afforded to any one who will sit in an open boat in one of the lakes of the island. Covering an area of fifty acres is an immense caldron hissing and snorting and sends forth volumes of polsonus steam, while all chances of egress appear to be denied by the steep-silent and gloomy cliffs. Japan's Purpose to Rise. The important inquiry with regard to Japan in a large way—is it not?—as to the direction in which the nation is now moving. And in answer to this inquiry I am able to give a most unequivocal and quite satisfactory answer. Never before in the history of the country, and at the present time in the history of no other country, do we find the same intelligent, deliberate and widely prevalent purpose to do away with the nation's reproach and to rise in the scale of national business morality. In saying this I speak what I know to be true.—Charles Vernon. Montenegro's New Capital. Montenegro is building a new capital at Antivari, the port of its present capital. The works, which are in the hands of Italian contractors, were inaugurated this month by the ruling prince, who insisted in his speech on the close ties of interest blinding Montenegro to Italy on the one hand and to Russia on the other, while he left Austria out in the cold. It is supposed that the new town is to be the terminal of Russia's Balkan line, and the speech is regarded as having considerable diplomatic importance for that reason. Nuts for Squirrels. The New York Park Department asked that visitors feed to the squirrels only hard-shelled nuts as the eating of soft-shelled ones permits the teeth of the pets to grow long and turn under, so that they are unable thereafter to crack the hard nuts they bury in the ground for the winter's store. These hard nuts consequently, rot and the squirrels die of starvation. Here is an excellent object lesson for the human race in the care of teeth. Peanuts in India. The cultivation of American peanuts which was introduced into the Kolhapur State some years ago by one of the American medical missionaries, has become so-popular that they now have become almost the chief crop Unfortunately the people persist in eating them raw, as they formerly ate the little country nuts and as the American nuts are much richer acute digestive troubles and liver inflammation are the frequent result. Decadence of Billiards Billiards are dying out—in France, at least. According to statistics of taxes, while there were 94,123 billiard tables in France in 1892, in 1906 there were only 89,-939. It is probably to the success of outdoor sports and of motoring that is due this loss of affection for a game which has had famous volatiles. Value of the Nile. The Nile is one of the longest rivers in the world, but it is not especially valuable as a navigable stream. It's chief benefit to the country is from the immense deposits of mud carried down in the annual floods and which have made the region overflowed one of the most fertile in the world. New Yorker Wear Out Shoes No wonder that so many shops in New York City sell shoes and that so many shops sell nothing but shoes, for it is estimated that the pedestrians of the city wear out 28,900 pairs of shoes each day. Big Engineering Feat One of the biggest pieces of engineering in New England is a 2,500 horsepower dam in the Union river, at Ellsworth, Me. It is constructed of hollow concrete, and cost nearly $600,000. Coal of New Zealand. It is estimated that New Zealand has an available coal supply of 1.200,000,000 tons, of which no more than 20,000,000 tons have been touched. Elephants on Sandy Beach Elephants as Sandwich Men. Elephants are being employed in Paris as "sandwich men" to advertise a music hall in the Champs Elysées. The Purposeless Man. A man without a purpose in life is like a dog with no tail to wag. THE COAL SCUTTLE SURVIVES. Even After the Old Style Cooking Stove Has Passed Into Oblivion. Many things survive after the wants which created them have ceased to be. The vermiform appendix, we are told, is of use to the monkeys; among humans only surgeons find it useful, as it helps fill their pocketbooks. And another thing that has survived its original purpose is the coal scuttle. They cook by gas generally now in city homes. In an apartment kitchen there's no room for a coal range. But the coal scuttle maintains its place. The housewife or the cook, or whoever presides in the kitchen, can't get along without it. Long ago the scuttle annexed to itself other uses than the carrying of fuel. When there was anything to be thrown away it became a waste basket. The cat found it a good place to take a nap. The policeman calling on the cook ate oranges, or bananas and thoughtfully hurled the skins at or into the omnipresent coal scuttle. And for these purposes and others it survives. It has even found its way into the parlor. Some persons adorn it with ribbons and find it an articles of decoration.—New York Sun. Animals Doctor Themselves Man might often take from the lower animals a lesson as to the care of himself when ill. All sorts of animals suffering from fever eat little, lie quiet, in dark, alry places, and drink quantities of water. When a dog loses his appetite he knows where to find relief—dog grass—which acts as a purgative and emetic. Sheep and sows, when ill, seek certain herbs. Any animal suffering from chronic rheumatism keeps as far as possible in the sun. If a chimpanzee be wounded he has been seen to stop the bleeding by a plaster of chewed-up leaves and grass.—Kansas City Journal. An Indignant Editor. Last Saturday evening after sewing two patches on our Sunday trousers and cleaning and pressing them we hung them out to dry. An hour later we found that they had been stolen. This will explain why we were not in our accustomed place in church on Sunday. The human being who will deliberately steal a pair of trousers from the editor of a weekly paper, and knowing that they are his only pair for church-going, deserves a worse fate than our indignation will allow us to mention. It seems to us as if civilization had been turned back half a century—Hometown (Pa.) Banner. Where Coral Comes From. The red coral which is used in jewelry, and which is known as precious coral, is mostly obtained in the Mediterranean. The Barbary coast furnishes the dark red, Sardinia the yellow or salmon color, and the coast of Italy the rose pink. It is also found in the Red Sea. Moonlight Many readers may not be aware of the fact that the full moon gives several times more than twice the light of the half moon. They may be still more surprised to learn that the ratio is approximately as nine to one. The moon is brighter between first quarter and full and last quarter.—Youth's Companion. The earliest mention of corn in Kansas is found in the account of Coronado's expedition in 1541-42. Professor Williston found charred corn in the ruins of prehistoric Indian pueblos in Scott County, estimated by him to be at least two and a half centuries old. Wedding Toll. In the village of Blackwell, (Somersetshire, England) has been revived the ancient custom known as wedding toil. This consists of stretching a rope across the road as the bride and bridegroom are returning from the church and demanding toll before they are allowed to pass Land and Sea. The mean height of all the land now above the sea is referred to by Lyell as being 1,000 feet. The mean depth of the ocean is at least 12,000 feet Edible Seaweeds. There are upwards of 70 species of edible seaweeds growing on the coasts of Hawaii, and about 40 of these are in common use by the natives. A Large Percentage Twenty per cent of the population of Canada earns its living in connection with the country's carrying trade. Railroad employees alone number 124,000. Ink of Today. Chemists say that papers written with the ink in general use today will be illegible in 27 years. The orange tree is said to produce about 20,000 oranges during its life. In proportion to its size a beetle is stronger than 100 horses. If this prohibition wave continues the sea-sarpep promises to become extinct. --- Lighthouses on the Maine Coast Attract and Kill Thousands. One of the keepers who came ashore from Boon Island recently tells the story of the strange death encountered by thousands of the migrating birds every spring. Flying along the coast at night they are instantly attracted by the powerful light from the watch tower, as moths are drawn to a candle. Thousands of these birds in their passage north fly with full force against the thick glass of the brilliantly lighted lantern. Stunned to death they fall to the rocks below or scale away for a little distance and flutter helplessly into the water. The light of morning sometimes reveals the rocks covered with the little creatures whose journey to their summer homes has met this sudden and fatal termination. Hundreds of species are found among the unfortunate little tourists. Most of them are easily recognized as belonging to the various common classes of song birds. But very often large birds of beautiful plumage come to their final resting place in this manner upon the bleak rocks, of Boon Island. On one occasion several years ago the thick glass of the lantern was shivered to atoms by the impact of some strange bird of powerful bill.—York Transcript. Fires Started by Moths. Moths and flames are universally connected, yet few people suspect that danger could arise therefrom. The insects are of such frail structure that generally they get destroyed before it is possible for them to inflict injury, and it is hardly creditable that the wings would ignite and retain the flames long enough to enable the moth to fly to its surroundings. That, however, has occurred. The moth was a very large one and its wings must have been very dry, so that when it floundered through the flame it set fire to one wing and darted out to a curtain nearby which at once flared up. It is possible that many summer evening fires in the country could be attributed to a source of this kind. It is notorious that mysterious fires often arise at sunset in the hot months.—Strand Magazine. As History Might Be Taught. Another way of teaching history which the schools might adopt has apparently not appealed to them. A good newspaper, if the teacher knows how to interpret its daily record, may stimulate an interest in history itself. If the pupil can be taught the continuity and relation of events, an awakened interest in the daily happenings will arouse a desire to trace them back through preceding stages. It is the break in continuity between the past and the immediate present that deadens enthusiasm. By studying history backward from the immediate present this chasm would be bridged and the passion for tracing to cause stimulated.—Boston Transcript. A High License Massachusetts has a town of 600 inhabitants which receives $2,670 annually from a single hotel for license to sell liquor. This is believed to be the highest license fee paid in the United States. The fee is nearly double the amount paid in Boston and other large cities. The Fastidious Burglar Visitors at a Paris hotel were disagreeably surprised one morning to find that the boots they had left outside their doors had been stolen by a burglar. Only one pair was left, on which was a paper with the words: "Not good enough for me." Value of Three Grains. The Vienna Academy of Science has spent nearly $9,000 in working 10 tons of uranium ore for radium. The yield was three grains of pure radium, the largest amount ever secured at once, the value being $320,000.

Washington, D. C IT PAYS TO GO TO CHURCH. If You Are a Young Doctor and Are On Hand When Needed. If you are a young doctor with all the requirements of a successful career except patients, you may find it pays to go to church. This is true, especially if you have a commanding appearance and are on the job when opportunity offers. One young doctor in Brooklyn found this to be true. He attached himself to a church with a large membership, and was assiduous in attending services. As he was good looking, his presence aroused remark, especially among the women members of the congregation. At the morning services on a recent Sunday, a woman who sat in a front pew near the pulpit fainted. There was a call for a doctor. The young man rose up in his place in a side pew, stalked majestically around to and down the centre aisle, and soon was administering to the sufferer in his best professional manner. It was a big feather in the young doctor's cap.—New York Sun. Porpoises at Play. A remarkable photograph of half a dozen porpoises playing under water just ahead of the bow of a steamship travelling at the rate of 12 knots an hour, has been published by a correspondent of knowledge, Mr. C. H. Gale. Mr. Gale calls attention to the singular fact that the porpoises while easily maintaining their position ahead of the ship showed no apparent effort or motion of body, tail or fin. Yet he thinks that they were not carried along by movement of water in front of the vessel, because air bubbles were seen rushing from their backs, and the photograph shows the effects of these bubbles by the white streaks on the backs of the animals. Sometimes they rolled over sidewise, but they always maintained their position. Youth's Companion. Indian Courage. Katherine Beaulieu, a pupil of the Chilocco Indian School, Oklahoma, had her hand caught in the big steam mangle, and before the machine could be stopped the arm had been dragged in above the elbow. The physician was able to save the arm but in order to facilitate healing it was necessary to graft fifty pieces of skin over the wound. Volunteers were called for and the doctor reported several scrimmages among the other pupils for the privilege of being the first to contribute part of their epidermis.—From the Indian's Friend.

Post Office Pens Mustard manufacturers grow rich, we are told, not by the quantity of mustard consumed, but by that which is wasted and left on the diners' plates. The saying is recalled by an interesting statement made by the Postmaster-General as to the number of pens supplied for use by the public in the post offices of the country. It seems that last year the total was 1,250,000. Naturalized on the Arm. An Italian went to the civil service commissioners' rooms to be examined for a laborer's position.

COAL MINE DISASTERS The Country Has Been particularly Shocked by Them Recently—For Happened Within a Period of a Few Weeks, in Which 700 Lives Were Lost War slays is thousands and peace its ten thousands. For the year 1906 the Interstate Commerce Commission reported the number of railway accidents in the United States as 108 324—a total greater than all the casualties of the Boer War, which lasted three years. The records of the Public Service Commission show that 155 people were killed by street cars, elevated, steam and subway trains in New York City in the three months ending November 30th, 1907, and that 500 more were seriously injured. These figures have attracted much attention but they do not prove that the railroads are sinners above all the industrial agencies of the country; on the contrary, there are many more accidents in factories and in the building trades than on the railroads, but their vast total is not appreciated because it is the duty of the statistician to record them accurately. Onl, one State, New York has made any serious attempt to gather accurate figures relating to the loss of life by industrial accidents. On the basis of a report of the commissioner of labor, made a number of years ago, it is computed that the industrial accident rate in the factories of New York State reaches the appalling figures of 44 to 1,000, and that more than 222,000 factory employees are killed or injured every year in the United States. Mining and railway casualties bring the total of slaughter, mutilation, and other injuries up to more than 524,000 cases annually—a record which makes that of any twelfthment in the history of war pale into insignificance. The entire losses, in killed and wounded in the Russo-Japanese War were 33,786. The country has been particularly shocked of late by the succession of coal nine disasters—Four within a period of a few weeks—in which about seven hundred lives were lost; and the recent exaction of this Jreadful death-toll lends special interest to the report on coal-mine accidents which has just been issued by the United States Geological Survey. This states that in the year 1906 nearly seven thousand men were killed or injured in the coal mines of the United States, and that the number of mine explosions has been steadily increasing. This increase is said to be due in part to the lack of properly enforcible safety regulations, which are insisted upon in European countries, particularly in France, where the accident death-rate among coal-miners, is less than one to every thousand employed; the American ratio is 3 1-2 to 1,000, being three and one-half times that of Belgium and higher than that of either Prussia or Great Britain. One of the Devices employed in German mines for the rescue of miners caught in suffocating gases consists of an air-tight mask fitting over eyes, nose and mouth and connected by tubes with reservoirs of oxygen. The amelioration of the horrors in peace should be regarded as equally important with the amelioration of the horrors of war. Some foreign philanthropists view it in this light, and not only have they induced employers and the governments of their respective countries to take action resulting in the installation of protective devices of many sorts, but they have established several museums in which the most improved of these devices are kept on exhibition for the benefit of employers and work people. A similar work has been undertaken in this country by the American Museum of Safety Devices and Industrial Hygiene, which maintains a permanent tree exhibition at No. 231 West Thirty-ninth Street, New York, where the management is demonstrating to employers the economy—to say nothing of the higher considerations—of insuring the safety of their work-people. Production of Gold. The production of gold in the United States during 1906 was $94,372,800, as against $88,180,700 for 1905, a gain in 1906 of $6,193,100. The principal gain was in Alaska which amounted to $6,439,500. Nevada's gain in gold was $2,919,500; Oregon's, $75,200; Arizona's, $55,800. The greatest loss in gold production by any State was in Colorado, where there was a decrease of $2,766,700.

JAPAN'S SHIFT. Baron Takahira and President Roosevelt Will Be Congenial. Far from any portent of war appearing in Japan a change of ambassadors at Washington, the Brooklyn Times points out that the despatch of a new man shows that diplomatic relations are expected to continue. "Were there the slightest chance for hostilities between the United States an. Japan." it declares, "the ambassador o. that country of the rising-sun flag would remain at his post till the very last moment." "Rather that indicating war," therefore, the change "Indicates peace." An- M. B. BARON KOGORA TAKAHIRA. other sign of peace is seen by our papers in Viscount Hayashi's announcement at Tokyo, amid the angry remonstrances of the emigrant agents, that the Japanese government intends to limit rigidly all emigration to the United States and Canada. Baron Ishil, who has been investigating the matter extensively in Canada and this country, has just reported in Tokyo: "In my opinion it will be necessary in order to keep absolute faith with the United States, to prevent emigration of labor thither altogether," and his Government seems inclined to act on his recommendation. Just why Viscount Aokl was recalled and Baron Takahira substituted remains a matter of conjecture. The Washington correspondent of the New York Sun says: "Japan, it is predicted, will have an ambassador here whose interests, institutions, and mode of living so such that he will appeal to the personal side of President Roosevelt, whose friendliness for Baron Vm Sternberg, the German Ambassador, and Mr. Jusserand, the French Ambassador, has made them the envy of their less favored colleagues of the Diplomatj Corps. Nowadays diplomatic representatives accredited to the United States are selected with particular reference to the impression they will make upon the American President." Forest Resources. A few weeks ago President Roosevelt signed a proclamation creating a national forest in the west central part of Arkansas. This timbered area, which covers more than 1,000,000 acres will have the distinction of being the farthest east of all the government, forests. This new forest which will be called the Arkansas, brings the total area of the national forests up to 161,233,985 acres, a little more than one-fifth of the country's total forest area. A particularly favorable fact in connection with the Arkansas national forest is found in the hearty spirit of co-operation manifested by the Arkansas people, apparently recognizing the immense benefits which are to be conferred in the conservation of the timber supplies there, have accepted the incoming of the forest service as a salutary event and assis in the government officials with helpful suggestions.—Forestry and Irrigation Magazine. The Tetrazolin Error Mme. Tetrazzini, who recently created such a fador in New York, had stirred up like enthusiasm in London. Before she sang at the Manhattan, a critic of the Dally Mail (London) 1-d this to say of her: "Mme. Tetrazzini, who on Saturday night made one of those rare sensations which herald the approach of a new diva, has already achieved something like fame in South America and on the Continent. But she came to us with no flourish of trumpets, a singer to ill intents and purpose unknown. "To-Jay all London will be hailing he event of a new operatic star—one of those commanding figures which sweep across the musical horizon once, perhaps, in a generation. For Mme. Tetrazzini's impersonation of Violetta in 'La Traviata' shows her the equal of a Patti or a Melba, and such a scene of popular enthusiasm as occurred on Saturday at, Covent Garden will not be lightly forgotten. This is no exaggerated praise." Mme. Tetrazzini is an Italian, her sister of the same name being the wife of Cleofoite Campanini, director at the Manhattan. She is apparently a singer by divine right, since the story goes that she has had but six months' training with a teacher in her life. She has sung with success in the capitals of Southern Europe, has been a favorite in South America, and made a fursor in San Francisco. A Thousand Men Are Fed Every Night. THE BOWERY MISSION At this Place and at Fleischmann's May Be Found the Men in Actual Need—It is the Alm of These Places to Send Away No Hungry Person. The two policemen who were standing at the corner of Canal street and the Bowery as I approached them looked ne over when they saw 'w was about to interrupt their conversation. It wa anything but a pleasant night; the coat I had borrowed for the evening was none too truck, and the old shoes I wore were lot waterproof. If my abject poverty was assumed, I felt a semblance of the real thing; for I was cold and tired after trampling up and down the muddy streets for an nour. "Where kil a seller g it a cup o coffee or a handout?" I asked. One of the officers smiled afailly, "Two doors up, he said, indicating one of the numerous five and ten-cent feeding places, of which there are one or two in every block in this neighborhood. "I didn't mean that kind," I replied, "I've got to find a place where there ain't a price on the 'grub.'" "I guess the bread line at Fleesmann's or the Bowery Mission's the only place, then, Jack," said the officer as he turned his back on me. So I slouched along to 55 Bowery where a sign in the window, reading, "Bowery Mission—Services Every Evening," indicated that I had found the right place. I looked in the door. The big room, filled with chairs, was dim; lighted, and on the platform at the far end, a man was moving some chairs around. "Nothin' doln' yet, bo." said a rough-looking fellow. "They don't give ye no grub until 1 o'clock." This was dishheartening, or would have been, had I really needed the food, for it was only a little after eleven. "I'm goin' up to the bakery," the tramp continued. "Ye git your at 12 sharp in there." S we ambled up the Bowy to Eighth street, and from there to Tenth street and Fourth avenue. Already the waiting line extended from the rear door of the bakery around the corner to the entrance of Grace church. I dropped into the procession which in a few moments reached up Broadway to, Twelfth street. I had been in the line but a short time when a clock nearby sounded for midnight. The line began to move along and the waiting men on either side of me cheered up a bit. There was very little conversation, however. Now and then some of them muttered curses, and once when a sightseeing automobile stopped at the corner the curses became quite audible. After the line of waiting men—over 600 in number, as I ascertained—had had their bread and coffee, most of them dispersed, though a few "repeated" in order to get a second helping. A number of them hung around until they could get a chance to ask the manager of the restaurant for work. But there was no chance for any one, though the refusal was not made unpleasantly. From the bakery I went back to the Bowery Mission. A thousand men are fed every night at the Bowery Mission—sometimes more. It is the aim at both this place and at Fleischmann's to send one no away hungry, but just now the demand is much in excess of that usual at this time of year. One sees at these two places the men who are in actual need of food and drink. The street beggars are in nine cases out of ten unworthy of notice. But the man or woman who doubts the distress—the real need of food among the unemployed—should spend a couple of hours at the two places I have described, and he or she will be convinced that there is no lack of opportunity for the offices of the Good Samaritan, and no excessive crowding in the ranks of holpers of unfortunate humanity.

The award of the Nobel prize for literature to Rudyard Kipling has brought out in this country some comment of mild approval and some of fat disapproval. That we almost nowhere observe expressions of whole-hearted congratulation for the English author is curiously significant of Kipling's falling popularity among a people that once waited with bated breath for new, from his skibed. Perhaps it's ony a curious illustration of this same people's fickleness. Taken coincidently with the recent record of a great fall in auction prices of first editions of his books, there are furnished signs of "a day that is dead." Some of those who criticize the Nobel award resent th- passing over of George Meredith and Algeron Swinburne. Others recant that Mark Twain had seemed to have been in the running. Few fall 10 RUDYARD KIPLING. to see something either ironic or numerous in the crowning of a man "for Idealism" who has devoted much of his literary expression to "preaching the gospel of force and of the material." The Chicago Post asserts that the "single strong claim to producing most 'excellent work of an idealistic character' that can be made for Mr. Kipling" is that "he has sang the glory of labor and service." The Post continues: "But when one considers the enna to which Mr. Kipling dedicates labor and service this claim can be dismissed. His idealism is idealization of might, combined with the faith that might is rght. Mr. Kipling has no conception of 'the Idealism of democracy. From the 'Plain Tales' to the 'islanders' he has harped on the militaristic ideal. A broad or the social sense he does not possess. His 'American Notes' showed how trivial and inadequate was his observation of this vast democratic experiment. Wh. inflamed his imagination was the unprotected seacoast. Not less characteristic is his phrase in looking out on Calcutta: 'What a city to loot!' And this phrase in the mouth of a war correspondent scanning London: 'God, what a city to loot!' "Mr Kipling is infected by Biblical English. His fine 'Recessional' is psalm-like. But in essence it is a prayer to God to stick to the Anglo-Saxon in his dominion over palm and pine. "Excellent work of an idealistic character" it was Nobel's intention to reward. The men previously honored, with perhaps two exceptions, had a broad and inspiring message. Mistral and Carducci, Bjornson and Slenkiewicz have undeniably had a liberal, emancipating, ennobling influence. This no one can dare to say for Mr. Kipling. In comparison with these men and in view of the inventor's purpose, his selection is highly discreditable to the Nobel trustees." The Philadelphia Press takes a mediating course and allows that the award to Mr. Kipling for the highest "Idealistic" work by a living author "will be in comprehensible to those whose reading began before his work, and natural to those moved and molded by his genius." The Outlook (New York), addressing those who question Mr. Kipling's claim to the honor, goes on to point other phases of his work than that extolling force and imperialism, phases upon which his claims may perhaps rest. Thus: "He has struck the great note of responsibility as well as of achievement, and has appealed to the highest instincts of the English race." Oldest Bellringer in England. Jamee Story Wright of Spaulding, claims to be the oldest bellringer in England, having been 66 years at the ropes at Spaulding Parish Church.

At a meeting of the Chicago Federation of Labor, held last month in Chicago, among the resolutions adopted, was one urging President Roosevelt to recommend to Congress the enactment of legislation providing for the construction of public improvements, such as good roads, deep waterways and public buildings, and such other needed improvements throughout the United States as would give employment to labor.—Good Roads Magazine. The Bishop's Christian Psychology, What it is. He Differs from the Followers of Mr. Eddy in that He Does Not S... the Aid of a Regular Physician In Fact Insists Upon a Doctor's Diagnosis. Stald orthodox circles in the United States were not a little astounded by the announcement that Bishop Samuel Fallow of the Reformed Episcopal Church had become a rival of Mrs. Mary Baker Glover Eddy, and set himself up as a "mental healer" of diseases. Bishop Fallows, however, differs from all other advocates of "mental healing." "falth cures" and the like. He does not scorn the aid of the regular physician. In fact, he insists that all his patients bring a physician's diagnosis with them, and in all his "treatments" he proposes to have a physician of the recognized school present. Neither does he call his new cult Christian Science. He designates it as "Christian psychology." He does claim, however, that "Christian psychology" will cure anything that is curable by Christian Science methods, which are, he believes, simply cures by faith on the part of the patient that they will be healed. He declares that this faith cure is practiced by all physicians, and he believes it should be practiced in its highest form by all earnest Christians. "This is not a new or a sudden fancy of mine." said the Bishop with a whimsical mile. "For twelve years I have been lecturing on physiological psychology at the Bennet Epileptic College. For the last three years I have been making a special study of the relations between mentality and disease. "I have arrived at the conclusion that mentality when based upon a trust in religion, is a powerful aid toward the cure of all functional nervous disorders. "I do not go so far as to say that all diseases may be cured by mental suggestion. Organic diseases like cancer and typhoid fever demand the services of a skilled physician. But in every disease the mental attitude of the patient has much to do with his condition, and in all those affections of the mind which might be classified as functional nervous disorders the mental attitude of the patient is the greatest single influence." The bishop then outlined a few of the diseases which he believed he could cure by Christian Psychology included in his list, the following. Hyphochondria. Sleeplessness. Nervous dyspepsia. Melancholia. Hysteria. Drug habits. Want of self-confidence, irritability, worry, anger, fear, and weakness of will. "The cure of the grip, I believe," said the Bishop, "can be aided greatly, and perhaps entirely effected by the direct influence of what I may call strengthened mentality. One of the chief factors in the potency of grip is the mental depression into which it forces its victims. It was just Sunday evening that Bishop Fallows in his sermon announced his purpose to put his belief into practice. But so great was the confidence of the Bishop that the sick and suffering did not wait for the first Thursday's meeting to receive treatment. On Tuesday afternoon the Bishop treated his first patient. A janitor named C. P. J. Esnorff could not wait until Thursday) afternoon and sought the Bishop in the vestry rooms of the church. He was suffering from a disease of the eye and was anxious for relief. He told the Bishop that medicine had failed to afford him any help. Esnorff sat down; and listened while the Bishop told him that he had two minds—the conscious and the sub-conscious—and how they contained the force that was to drive the stickness out of his eyes. He then instructed Esnorff and let him go. The patient went away declaring he felt 100 per cent petter—that the Bishop's talk had effected a wonderful improvement. The Bishop hopes to enlist all the churches in the country in this movement. He explained this purpose in the sermon in which he first made his announcement. He said: Christian psychology uses every curative agency in the world of nature as an aid to the powerful influences of suggestion and auto-suggestion for mental and physical health. It unites the physician with the ciergyman in the great work of healing. It aims to give the physician trained men and women to assist him in his ministry to the sick and suffering. 'It is along these lines that the Boston Emmanuel Church movement has been carried on for more than a year by the Rev. Dr. Worcester and the Rev. Dr. McComb. The ablest neurologists of Boston and New England are heartily cooperating with them. The results have been most encouraging. BEING AN EX-PRESIDENT. Has Been Overlooked by Americans. That "something has been overlooked by the American people in the adjustment of the accounts between them and their ex-Presidents" is the opinion of Grover Cleveland, who, our only living ex-President, speaks with unique authority on this subject. Being himself in no need of aid from the public treasury, Mr. Cleveland is in a position to discuss the whole question with the utmost freedom, without a suggestion of personal interest in sc doing. While not entirely agreeing with the biographer who speaks of "that melancholy product of the American governmental system—an ex-President," he nevertheless admits that there are certain anomalies in the relationship between the American people on the one side and their ex-Presidents on the other. It is an account he suggests, that has never been exactly balanced. It is in accordance with the spirit of our institutions, says Mr. Cleveland—writing in the Youth's Companion of recently—that the President who "represents more nearly than any other governmental agency the sovereignty and will of the American people," should, at the termination of his public service, take up again the relationship which he as a private citizen owes to the affairs of American life. But this he is allowed to do only under certain vague but imperative restrictions. To quote the writer at greater length on this point: "The truth is, that our people, so far from treating their ex-Presidents simply as relics of past honors, seem disposed not only to bestow upon them honor and respect, but to continue in service so far as to interfere seriously with their untrammeled return to private citizenship and their unrestrained resumption of the occupations of every day life. "There is a sort of vague but none the less imperative feeling abroad 'n the land that one who has occupied the great office of President holds in PETER H. GROVER CLEVELAND. trust for his fellow citizens a certain dignity which n his conduct and manner of life he is bound to protect against loss or deterioration. "Obedience to this obligation, which can hardly be avoided, limits the ex-President to his choice of an occupation and means of livelihood, and prescribes for, him only such work as in popular judgment is not undignified; and it also forces a scale of living on his part frequently less in keeping with his financial ability than with popular conceptions of ex-Presidential propriety." Mr. Cleveland referred at some length to the way an ex-President is deluged with newly written books, is made a target for all manner of pecuniary solicitation, and is called upon to make addresses "on toques and for purposes that are bewildering, and at times and places that are impossible." Getting Help. A Massachusetts man, whose business frequently takes him over the line into Vermont, says that one evening he was a guest at a farm house in that State, when he observed that the wife of the owner—a poor, wan little woman—was doing every bit of the work around the house. As he himself put, she did an amount of work that would put an ordinary Massachusetts horse to shame and he really felt like a villain sitting there watching her. Feeling considerable compassion for the woman, who looked as if ready to drop from overwork, the visitor asked: "Why don't you get help here? Surely you are not going to try to pull through the long winter without a hired girl." A slickly smile came to the palid face of the woman. "Waal, I lunno," she said. "I don't feel as if I could just yit; but p'raps ef I should get to feelin' a little better and stronger I might." Night Hawk Nestless.

The "Jim Crow" signs that were displayed in the cars that entered this city were briefly spoken of in The Bee some time ago. These signs were obnoxious to the civilized people in this city and when complaint was made to Commissioner Henry B. F. Macfarland, he went about bringing them down in a manner that was pleasing to the colored citizens of this city. W. CALVIN CHASE, ATTORNEY IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.

Provided, a copy of this order be published once a week for three successive weeks in the Washington Law Reporter, and the Washington Bee, before said day. Job Barnard, Justice True Copy. Test. J. R. Young, Clerk. by F. E. Cunningham, Asst. Clerk There are six of these "Wonders" and they interest colored people everywhere. The first is called Complexion Wonder. It gives any color skin a naturally lighter coloring. The skin itself becomes lighter colored every time it is applied; then there is a "Wonder Comb," to straighten kinky hair. This comb costs but 50 cents, and will last a lifetime. Another one is called "Wonder Uncurl," a preparation which keeps hair straightened, lustrous and pliable so as to dress well. "Wonder Hair-Grow," is a fertilizer for the scalp, which feeds the hair so it will grow longer, exactly as you put fertilizer in the soil to make corn-stalks grow longer. A splendid preparation is "Odor Wonder," which consists of a powder and a fine toilet water. This preparation will not only prevent perspiration odor but will substitute a pleasant perfume; colored men and colored women who use these "Wonders" will always look well-groomed and be acceptable in any social circle, where business or pleasure may invite them.

Many of the railroads are famous for displaying these signs, simply to humiliate the colored people. The Bee congratulates Commissioner Macfarland for such prompt action. THE PRESIDENT ACTS. Dr. Brown is to be congratulated for having sent to President Roosevelt a communication calling his attention to the discrimination in the dining room of the Union Station. President Roosevelt promptly sent his communication to the District Commissioners with instructions to act. The Bee called the attention of the people to this discrimination some time ago and advised the colored people to act. However, Dr. Brown showed good sense.
