HILLES IS ELECTED HILLES IS ELECTED IS UNANIMOUSLY ELECTED CHAIRMAN OF REPUBLI- CAN COMMITTEE. Choice of Sub-Committee—Has Accepted and Will Resign Post at White House — New Secretary Named Also. James B. Reynolds, Former Treasury Official, Designated—Selection of Treasurer Comes Next. (From the Evening Star.) Charles D. Hilles, secretary to President Tait, was Tuesday unanimously selected chairman of the Republican National Committee by the sub-committee of nine appointed to choose a chairman. James B. Reynolds, of Massachusetts, former assistant secretary of the Treasury and now a member of the tariff board, was elected secretary to succeed William Hayward, of New York. The sub-committee adjourned in the afternoon to meet in New York July 19, at which time a treasurer, an executive committee and an advisory committee of five will be chosen. Up to midnight Monday night the selection of a chairman of the National Committee was still in the air. Republican politicians of nation-wide prominence, who gathered at the White House at the President's invitation, spent the evening exchanging views over this important question. When the last of the guests had departed the President and the members of the sub-committee went into a conference which lasted until nearly 2 o'clock in the morning. The whole situation was gone over very thoroughly, and even when the lights blinked out in the executive mansion and the last carriage rolled away, the chairmanship was still undecided. The sub-committee of nine, however, had obtained some very dehine ideas during the course of the evening, as the result of their talks with prominent Republicans and with the President. The sub-committee met at 9:30 Tuesday morning at the New Willard, and immediately went to the White House for a last word with the President. Hilles Unanimous Choice. Returning to their conference room they quickly and unanimously elected Mr. Hilles, proceeding thereafter to the selection of Mr. Reynolds Charles R. Warren, of Michigan was appointed a committee of one to invite Mr. Hilles to the meeting. When Mr. Hilles came in he was heartily congratulated by all the members present. Mr. Hilles will resign his position as secretary to the President next Saturday night and will immediately take up the arduous and important work before him. He said that national headquarters will probably be established in New York, with western headquarters in Chicago. In the present campaign headquarters will also be maintained upon the Pacific coast, probably at Portland, Oreg., and probably in charge of Ralph E. Williams. Mr. Hijles was very much surprised at being drafted for this work. Last Sunday night he and the President talked over the chairmanship and both agreed that Mr. Hilles should remain with the President throughout the campaign. That was the status of affairs until Monday evening, when the wise men and elder statesmen of the party assembled at the White House. Points Argued. The changed aspect grew out of the insistence of some of the western members of the committee and western Republican in the conference that the best interests of the party required the selection of a national chairman who should be regarded as a progressive and, at least, not definitely aligned with the "old, guard." It was equally as stoutly contended, however, by some others in the conference, that no attention should be paid to this consideration. They insisted that what the campaign needs is a chairman who can rally the old guard—who can assemble the old machine and put it into working order. William Barnes, Jr., of New York, was the choice of this faction, but they were outnumbered, and Mr. Barnes withdrew his name from consideration. Mr. Hille's selection, it was thought by the sub-committee, will meet with general approval and will be acceptable to all Republicans who desire the re-election of President Taft. His ability is unquestioned, as well as his fairness and progressiveness, and he is promised the loyal support of the seasoned old war horses of the party who had borne the heat and burden in many a hard-fought campaign. Mr Reynolds, the new secretary of the national committee, has had wide experience in political campaigning. For many years he was the secretary of the State Republican Committee of Massachusetts, and in many campaigns has rendered valuable assistance to the national committee. He was assistant secretary of the Treasury under a part of President Roosevelt's administration, and later a member of the tariff board. He has a wide acquaintance among public men, possesses a genial nature and makes and holds friends. Selection of Treasurer Next. The next important question for the sub-committee of nine to solve is the selection of a treasurer of the national committee As stated, this has been postponed until July 19 in order to allow the leaders to look over the list of names suggested for this appointment. The list includes Otto Bannard, of New York; C. G. Dawes, of Chicago; David R. Forgan, of Chicago; E. F. Swinney, of Philadelphia; and John Hays Hammond, of Washington. The executive committee and advisory committee of five are not yet under consideration. May Not Name a Successor. It was not known at the White House whether the President would name a successor to Mr. Hilles as secretary. It was suggested that he might leave the place open, with Assistant Secretary Foster performing the duties of the office, as he has been to a large extent, for some time. If he should fill the position Mr. Foster would be the logical man for the place. Cabinet officers, on going to the White House to attend the regular Cabinet meeting, congratulated the President on the selection of Mr. Hillas. Without exception the Presidents Cabinet advisers believed Mr. Hillas would be the right men. Secretary Knox voiced the general sentiment when he said: "I think the selection of Mr. Hillas was a most admirable one. I have great confidence not only in his ability, but in his loyalty to the President." The Oklahoma contest between James A. Harris and George C Priestly will be taken up by the committee at the meeting July 19. After the sub-committee finished its executive session, A. M. Stevenson of Colorado, and former Gov. Bachelder, of New Hampshire, conferred with the members. AFRICAN SPEAKS Editor The Bee, Washington, D. C. Dear Brother Chase: I cannot resist the impulse to pat you on the back on your intelligent, noble and dignified attitude on the celebration of "Emancipation," as presented in your issue before me, and which awaited my arrival from the interior. Among the vast number of exchanges from all over the world, the Bee is one of the few, a perusal of which I must find time. Comments and editorials are lively and up-to-date. The philosophic comments on Men and Things, by the Sage, are equal to anything of the character that can be or was ever dished out of the brain pan of the pale-face, and alongest, I am impelled, in going over them, to paraphrase Brother Mitchell, of Richmond, that other great man, who'll not be a Negro. It is a tradition, and only a tradition that slavery was abolished many years ago in South Africa. I am writing this close to the site of the old mart of Capetown, but that tradition is lost in the impenetrable mist of the past, and relegated to the limbo of the dead past. Great Britain did, "once upon a time," when man had become more civilized than they were, and having become thoroughly ashamed of the hideous institution, abolished slavery, paying one hundred million dollars as a sort of penance, and I have yet to learn that the manly West Indian, Negro becomes mad once a year, and casting discretion and dignity to the winds, foams at the mouth, and hysterically thanks somebody that he is "libin." Congratulate, the erstwhile robber on his perspecacity, in bowing to the uncuttable inevitable, for it had to go, but don't slobber over him. Restoration may be taken to account in awarding punishment but the thief is not convinced for that he has restored. The injunction, "Let him that stole steal no more," is not superseded by build a monument in commemoration of him and perpetuate his memory. No. Rather, "let the dead past bury its dead" of that unspeakable iniquity I remember some years ago at Bufalo, when the Grand Army encampment was held in that particular year, that in conversation with a white veteran, the latter endeavored to show how he had shouldered a gun and fought for my people. Not much, said I, my friend, you were merely one atom in the great and irresistible movement which, in the onward march of progress, had come and you were earning your bread and butter. I have not changed my view. For God's sake inspire in the coming Negro that manly self-respect which impel it, while respecting others, demand the reciprocation of that treatment from others. This you cannot do, if you review him once a year that he should express his deep gratitude that where as he was a slave now he is free. Nor would it require a great stretch of imagination to see how the other fellow would regard that attitude as being the proper one for the black, whom he would, patronizingly, pat on the back for being "a good Nigger" Yours fraternally.

M. H. Twice a Defeated Candidate for Congress. A Roosevelt Progressive MISREPRESENTATION Free-Traders Falsify Facts and Mislead the People on the Subject of the Tariff. (Corres. American Economist.) Washington, July 4.—Absolute disregard of facts is the chief reliance of the Democrats in advocating Free-Trade, as was the case in pleading for the free collage of silver, unlimited greenbacks and other things now discarded. Senator-elect James, of Kentucky, the permanent chairman of the Democratic convention, in his "keynote" speech got off the threadbare falsehood about the Republicans promising in 1908 to revise the Tariff downward and then "raising it higher than ever before until it reached the maximum of Protection, 47 per cent," to which he added a lot of equally false statements about the President's vetoes of Tariff bills. The average ad valorem rate of duty on all imports in the last fiscal year was less than 20 per cent, and on durable imports alone about 41 per cent, an average reduction in each case of over 3 per cent. The average on durable products has not been 47 per cent, for nine years, but that was not the "maximum" as the average on durable products was 52 per cent, in 1899, and all imports the same year 29,48 per cent. That serves to show how much the senator-elect from Kentucky knows about the subject. He also declared that the cost of living had increased 100 per cent, in a "ew years!" It is amazing that a United States senator-elect, addressing such an assemblage, could make such a grotesque mls-statement. Wholesale prices as measured by the prices of the 257 commodities included in the price index number of the United States Bureau of Labor advanced 14.5 per cent. in nine years, and yet Mr. James asserts an advance of 100 per cent, "in a few years!" But as great an advance has been made in FreeTrade England and in other countries. Wholesale prices in Canada, according to the Government Labor Gazette, advanced 24 per cent. in ten years. Bradstreet's shows an advance of 18 per cent. in the ten years from May 1, 1902, to May 1, 1912. But to help a Free-Trade argument the chairman of the Baltimore convention asserted an advance of 100 per cent! Bryan said, in speaking of the Democracy of Chief Murphy of Tammany Hall, "God save the mark," and that may well be said of Democratic Tariff statements. What Cleveland Didn't Know About the Tariff Soon after Grover Cleveland became Governor of New York, in 1883, while talking in his office, he was asked, "what about the Tariff?" to which he jocularly replied: "The Tariff! I don't know a d—d thing Cleveland had never paid any attention to the subject. The New York Tribune sent a representative to about it." That was the truth. Mr. Buffalo to look up Mr. Cleveland's record, and the files of the Buffalo newspapers for years were searched and inquiries made of Wm Allen, Mr. Cleveland's uncle, with whom he lived, and Mr. Cleveland's associates, and it could not be ascertained that Mr. Cleveland had ever said or written anything whatever about the Tariff. But after he became President, notwithstanding the intricacies of the subject, and the need of profound study really to understand it, Mr. Cleveland became the leader of his party on the Tariff and wanted, like Champ Clark and Governor Wilson of today, to sweep the Tariff from the face of the earth —"destroy every vestige of a custom house," as Champ Clark has stated the case. Disastrous Experience of the Nation. How the nation suffered as a result of Mr. Cleveland's leadership on this subject is a matter of history; but the Democratic party is seeking to repeat that disastrous lesson. Under Mr. Bryan's leadership there was hardly a man in the Baltimore convention who dare say a word against sweeping away every vestige of a Protective Tariff without sacrificing his connection with the Democratic party. A Tariff for revenue means low duties on everything, just as shown by the Chemical bill that passed the House recently, when $40,000,000 in value of raw materials not produced in this country were taken from the free list and made durable. Governor Harmon of Ohio was a member of Mr. Cleveland's cabinet and in sympathy with his Tariff view, but he has not made himself vociferous in advocating the destruction of every custom house. Wherefore he did not suit Mr. Bryan, and was promptly retired as a candidate, Mr. Underwood is reckless on the subject, but he opposed Mr. Bryan's advocacy of free wool, and was assisted in that work by Speaker Clark. The great majority of the Democrats in the House of Representatives favored removing all duty from wool as advocated by Bryan, but Clark and Underwood succeeded in getting a cause to agree to a "revenue" duty on it. That was the parting of the ways between Bryan and Underwood and Clark. Nebraska, in its state convention, declared in favor of the nomination of Clark, and Bryan was chosen one of the delegates. He obeyed instructions for a time, but at the first opportunity deserted Clark and publicly delivered what he regarded as a death blow to Clark's candidacy. Anyone acquainted with Mr. Bryan and his ardent advocacy of Free Trade have known that Champ Clark's half-hearted effort to win support from Texas wool growers would not be forgiven by Bryan. Witnessing Champ Clark's Wilson's Free-Trade View. Governor Wilson has not always been a radical Free-Trade advocate, but since he became a candidate for President he has gone to the extreme in all Bryan doctrines. Bryan was not entirely satisfied with Wilson, but no one else, holding Bryan's peculiar views, was apparently available, hence his espousal of the Wilson "boom." A new convert is generally more dangerous than a man of settled convictions such as Bryan himself, so that the success of a chameleon-like candidate, such as Wilson has shown himself to be, while also a man of determination, would mean another such catastrophe as the nation suffered under Cleveland. These facts will serve to throw some light on the operations of the Baltimore convention. It was dominated largely by Bryan and his Free Trade views, and the success of its candidate would mean another 4,000,000 men living at soup-houses, with the arrest of all progress in this country indefinitely. And unfortunately, solely for personal reasons, Mr. Roosevelt is doing his best to bring about that situation. Extending Last Year's Appropriations. As was foreshadowed in this correspondence some time ago the appropriation bills had not passed Congress at the end of the fiscal year, and a resolution had to be resorted to in order to prevent the entire suspension of the business of the government. This gives the Tariff board another month of existence with a generous appropriation. tion. But Chairman Emery says that it will not undertake any new business. The board called on the President last Saturday to say good-bye, as the resolution to extend last year's appropriations for another month had not then passed. But it is conceded that no appropriation will be made for the continuance of the board when the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill passes. The board has partially completed gathering facts, or alleged facts, on sugar, pottery, hides, leather, metals, and some other things; but whether or not of much value is not yet known. The great trouble with the board was its attempt to state facts that were in reality only surmises or guesswork. It has not secured any trustworthy data whatever about the cost of manufacturing abroad, and cannot get such facts. The effort to make it appear that it had obtained the cost of producing articles abroad was a fatal blunder that has opened the door for a great deal of just criticism. NEGRO DEMOCRATS REBUKED. The recent Democratic Convention, held in Baltimore, Md., last month demonstrated a fact to Negro Democrats which was more eloquent and penetrating than the speeches delivered by Col. William Jennings Bryan. Bishop Alexander Waters and his Negro Democratic followers went to the Committee on Resolutions and Platform and presented a draft of a plank which they wanted inserted in the Democratic platform. This plank condemned lynching, disfranchisement of Negroes, Jim Crow cars and other nefarious Democratic laws inaugurated and passed by Democratic legislatures. The encouragement that was given the Negro Democrats that visited the Democratic Committee on Resolutions and Platform would make a baby sneeze. This turn down must have been refreshing to the Negro Democratic braves who have so much faith in white democracy. The refusal of the Democratic Committee on Resolutions, by its refusal to adopt a plank that would guarantee protection to life, liberty and property of the Negree of the country, is an evidence of the continued brutality of the Democratic party towards the Negroes who are, today, clamoring to join the Democratic party. These Negroes must be either idiots or jackasses—if they are not the descendants of the Darwin dispensation. The Bee is at a lost to know where they came from or where they will go. There was a so-called Democratic Negro in the Baltimore Democratic Convention, who looked like the "Lost Cause." He reminded the spectator of a lost sheep looking for shelter. OPPOSE NEGRO POLICE. Senator Hoke Smith Would Have None in Capital. AT COURT TO DEFEND BOX. With Georgia Members of House He Appears as Counsel for Grover Kelly, of Macon, Ga., Arrested for Offending Colored Bluecoat, Find-Charges. Have Been Dropped - Emphatic in Opinions. (From Daily Post, July 9.) Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia, appeared in the police court yesterday morning as counsel for Grover Kelly, a young white boy of Macon, Ga., who had been arrested by a colored policeman for making remarks derogatory to colored bluecoats in general. Senator Smith was accompanied by Representatives Bartlett and Hughes, of Georgia. They learned that Kelly, who came to Washington last week to be a chauffeur, had wandered down the Potomac last Sunday morning early to watch some fishermen. Seeing a colored policeman, he expressed surprise, and remarked that such a sight would not be tolerated in the South, and for a colored policeman to attempt to arrest a white man would start a riot. Find No Case Docketed. This remark was repeated to the policeman by one of the onlookers, and the guardian of the law applied his night stick to the young man and took him to the nearest precinct, from where he was later released on a cash bond. When the three Georgia legislators walked into the police station they were told that no case had been docketed, and that the cash collateral had been returned to Kelly. They then went into executive session with the district attorney, and expressed their opinion of colored policemen in general. "If this negro policeman had wanted to prosecute this young white boy, he could probably have brought in a half dozen witnesses to swear that Kelly was the agressor," said Senator Smith. "But I want to tell you that I would take the word of this good boy, whom I know, in preference to that of 100 policemen. "I am opposed to the practice of having colored policemen in the District. It is a source of danger by constantly engendering racial friction, and is offensive to thousands of Southern white people who make their homes here. These places ought to be filled by good white men." President Taft to Speak to Baptists. A committee called at the White House June 27, headed by Dr. Simon P. W.

Whole World Cemented Into a Common Democracy By JOHN H. FINLEY,.President of the College of the City of New York TODAY we might say that mankind had fathomed all the universe and there are no new worlds to conquer. THE MOST OBVIOUS FACT IS NOT THAT THE ALMIGHTY HAS MADE OF ONE CLAY ALL NATIONS, BUT THAT MOBILITY AND TRANSMISSIBILITY ARE MAKING OF ALL NATIONS ONE CLAY. HUMAN EXPERIENCE IS BECOMING ILLOCAL whether recorded in terms of taste or utility. It is being put at the command of the whole earth not only in images, in ideas, but in the substance of things wherever they can be carried afar, and ships and trains offer and tariffs do not interfere. NO VALLEY, HOWEVER SHUT IN, LIVES FROM ITS OWN SOIL OR ITS OWN PAST. I know a newspaper man who could make an Iliad from the weekly cotton bulletin, beginning with the reports from Bombay, or an Odyssey from Lloyd's reports on ships and shipping. Mistral might have added a notable poem to his "Poeme du Rhone" if he had but put into verse the import of seeing, as he might have seen and as I did see on entering the gates of Avignon, that city of the palace of the popes, a sign advertising the agricultural implements of an American company. MOBILITY OF PERSON AND TRANSMISSIBILITY OF IDEAS, one or both, are the conditions of a wide democracy. This republic of ours could not have become one or remained one without the means of both. The railroad, the telegraph, the newspaper and the library were necessary to the perpetuation of a union, one and inseparable, unless there were in lieu of these a mighty standing army. Character Supplemented by Education Is the Foundation For Real Success By JOHN A. DIX, Governor of New York No matter what a man's education may be—however great his acquired subtlety of reasoning, his cleverness of expression or his seductive mastery of language—unless he has the ordinary virtues of UPRIGHTNESS OF LIFE AND CONSCIENCE, SYMPATHY OF HEART, his work must at the best be ephemeral and at the worst evil. THE FOUNDATION, THEREFORE, OF EDUCATION IS CHARACTER, AND THE ONLY EFFECTIVE EXPRESSION OF EDUCATION MUST BE SELF RELIANCE, TEMPERED BY HUMILITY AND DEDICATED TO SERVICE. As children of a common father we all must admit a common dependence upon an unseen and perhaps forever inexplicable power. But in our hearts each of us feels an equally inexplicable impulse to individual and unique achievement. Education lights the way and determines the destination. HUMANITY MUST AND SHALL BE SERVED, no matter who may suffer. That is both the whip and the hope of the race. REMEMBER ALWAYS MANNERS MAKETH MAN. THE BEST MAN IS HE WHO ACTS BEST HIS PART, WHO LOVES HIS FRIENDS BEST, WHO IS MOST WILLING TO HELP OTHERS, WHO IS TRUEST OF OBLIGATION, WHO HAS THE BEST HEART AND THE DEEPEST SYMPATHIES, WHO MOST FREELY GIVES TO OTHERS THE RIGHTS HE CLAIMS FOR HIMSELF. Religion Today Is the Privilege of the Few By Dr. THEODORE G. SOARES, Head of Department of Theology. University of Chicago ELIGION TODAY IS THE PRIVILEGE OF THE FEW; IT IS NOT A DEMOCRACY. R There are many people who cannot think of religion. They are weighed down under social and economic conditions so that faith and hope and love and the desire to be good are not within their grasp. Our religion is ARISTOCRATIC. A very small minority of us may have these privileges, but when we tell the average man that there is a heaven any way, if he has none on earth, he will rarely listen to you. It is just the system that's to blame, the kind of thing from which prosperity comes. It's the economic conditions, and the thousands pay for it, PAY FOR OUR ARISTOCRATIC RELIGION. There is no democracy about this. We need a real change for a MORE DEMOCRATIC CHURCH. We of the minority who have the privileges of living may hold that the characters of the future are greater than the characters of the past, but that's not democratic. Trusts Have Stirred Up Present Feeling of National Unrest 1 Their Greed Has Moved the People By VICTOR L. BERGER Big Profits Criminal Abuse of Privilege Socialist Congressman From Wisconsin TALCOTT WILLIAMS. Dean of the School of Journalism, Columbia University WHAT we call the enfranchisement of woman is but a development of what have ALWAYS BEEN HER RIGHTS, sometimes submerged, sometimes triumphant, but new forgotten or unfelt by organized society. THE commercial and industrial octopus commonly called the beef trust has been a potent factor in BRINGING UPON THIS NATION THE VICIOUS ECONOMIC CONDI- IT IS WELL FOR US TO REMEMBER THAT WE OWE MORE TO THE WOMEN THAN THE MEN. TIONS WHICH NOW AFFLICT IT. These economic conditions have in turn given birth to the ominous cries that issue from the lips of thousands of poor, needy and downtrodden fellow Americans pleading for something to alleviate their conditions. The whole work of woman is properly understood only if it be in its relation to the work of woman in the past. She began the possibilities of civilization. The triumph of Miriam and the song of Deborah came before the lament of Jonathan and the songs of the sons of Noah. There are no more powerful recruiting media to the cause of socialism in the United States than our monopolistic corporations, thriving as they do on an abnormal share of the pittances which the great mass of our manhood call their YEARLY EARNINGS. It was HER HAND THAT TAMED THE WILD GOAT AND SOWED THE FIELDS WITH WILD GRAIN. It was her work at the spindle which began manufacture. THE RULE OF PROFITS AS INTERPRETED BY THESE TRUSTS IS A CRIMINAL ABUSE OF PRIVILEGE. The beginnings of civilization were in her hand, and every race as it passes barbarism into civilization selects from its womanhood those who typify in the nascent state the motherhood from which the family was born. You might attempt to remedy the Sherman anti-trust law—a good statute so far as it goes, but one that no matter how many amendments are added to it cannot remove the root of the evil. It does not and cannot regulate the avarice of man. An ABSOLUTE DISSOLUTION OF THESE MONOPOLIES WITH AN HONEST RENEWAL OF HEALTHY COMPETITION or their complete nationalization, wherein profits sink to a minimum, are the only solutions of the problem. Mission of American Women to End War Throughout the World Unification of China Must Come From Within By Baroness BERTHA VON SUTTNER, President of Associated Peace Societies of Europe M. Japan Has No Designs on the New Republic BELIEVE THAT IT IS THE MISSION OF AMERICA, AND ESPECIALLY THE MISSION OF AMERICAN WOMEN, TO END WAR THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. FROM YOUR GREAT COUNTRY WILL COME A CRY OF PEACE, PEACE, AND THERE WILL BE PEACE! The majority of women have always been opposed to war because it is always the WOMEN WHO SUFFER: The victorious nation and the vanquished alike have their toll of desolate widows, mothers and sisters. For every man who dies on the field of battle perhaps six women mourn. And it's so much easier to die swiftly from a bullet than to die slowly from long years of LONELINESS AND GRIEF. By Prince TARO KATSURA, Japanese Statesman CHINA is now assuredly the GREATEST PROBLEM. Unthinking people have asserted that Japan sought for and hoped for a revolution in China. Nothing could be more unjust. You know America seems to me a world oasis of peace. I cannot imagine your being so silly and wicked as to indulge in a great war. You do supply yourselves with an unnecessary number of ships and guns, but that is undoubtedly due to the influence of the rich men who own stock in the manufactories. However, I think the COMMON SENSE of your people will keep you from using your army and navy. In America you have the three great advantages—free schools, free press, free speech. I do not exaggerate when I say that such a state of affairs exists nowhere in Europe. Armed to the teeth, central Europe is a GREATER HINDRANCE TO THE WORLD TODAY THAN DARKEST AFRICA EVER WAS in the campaign for progress, for economic unfoldment and for peace. The great powers should concertedly adopt measures to assure better world conditions pledged to the integrity of China. Japan no more seeks to violate such a pledge than any other nations bound by similar agreement. Perhaps each one of the powers differs from the others in minor details, but I hope each will sacrifice individual desires in order to achieve the common object, which is the INTEGRITY OF CHINA. War is the greatest crime ever perpetrated by humanity. THE UNIFICATION OF CHINA MUST COME FROM WITHIN, BUT UNDER THE GUARANTEE PROVIDED IN THE PRESENT PROJECTED AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE SIX GREAT NATIONS CHINA CAN PROCEED TO ORGANIZE AN ADEQUATE ADMINISTRATIVE SYSTEM. Why European Physicians Are Superior to Ours A conflagration broke out in China-across the river, as it were. We did no more than take ordinary precautions, although the conflagration certainly threatened Japan more than any other country. By HENRY S. PRICHETT.

FREIGHT HITS EXCURSION TRAIN Heavy Freight Crashed Into Rear of Passenger Train and Telescoped Sevreal Cars. Eighteen were killed and many fatally injured on the Ligonier Valley railroad when a passenger train carrying picnickers was backing into Wilpen through a misunderstanding of their orders. The accident happened at the fair grounds, about one and a half miles from Ligonier, near Latrobe, Pa. The accident was caused by a double-header freight, which crashed into the rear coach of the passenger train, telescoping several cars. But one passenger on the train escaped injury. The coaches contained a large number of children, who were being taken by Miss Matthews, a nurse at the home of George Senft, president of the Ligqnier Valley railroad, for a day's outing. All the children were either killed or sustained severe injuries. The dead are: Frank McConnaughy, engineer, scalded to death under engine; Fireman George Byers, cut in two: Engineer Smith Beatty; Fireman John Akney, mangled under engine; Louise Rowdy, aged eleven; Elizabeth Rowdy, aged fourteen; Samuel Brownfield, four years old; George Toysh, aged slimy-eikht years, a wealthy farmer; Mrs. Harry Dillon, twenty-four years old, and her one-year-old baby; Miss Edsal, aged, twenty; Miss Hoon, aged twenty, and a number of boys, aged from four to six years, unidentified. The freight engines ploughed clear through the wooden coach, crushing it as it would an eggshell. The coach was ripped to pieces. All the occupants were hurled to the roadbed; some fell in the path of the engines, while others were imbedded partly in the cinder and stone ballasting. The first engine of the double-header pulling the freight train stopped after it had passed through the passenger coach, turned halfway around and fell over on its side. Conductor Charles H. Kuhn, of the passenger train, leaped and receive a broken leg. Engineer Dunlap an Fireman Frank Byers, of the passenger train, stuck to their posts and were uninjured. Dunlap and Byers are the only persons known to have been on the wrecked train who escaped in injury. Farmers near the scene of the accident and men who were at work at the Denny race track went to the assistance of Engineer Dunlap and Fireman Byers, who were pulling the dying and injured from the wreckage and laying them on the bank. In a few minutes every resident of Ligonier who was able to walk was on the way to the race track. A frantic call for physicians and aid was sent to Latrobe. Five Latrobe physicians went to the scene in an automobile. Forty Killed In Railroad Wreck. Forty persons are dead, three so badly hurt that their deaths are expected, and more than fifty are suffering injuries, the result of a tail-end collision between the crack Buffalo limited of the Lackawanna railroad and a train of express cars in the thick fog above Gibson Narrows, two miles from Corning, N. Y., on Independence Day. Trainmen say that this loss of life was caused by the carelessness of the engineer of the express train, who ran at a terrific rate of speed past a frantically signalling flagman and the warning of a dropped semaphore arm, into the passenger train standing still upon the track with its hundred or so of sleeping passengers. The engineer, who is blamed by the authorities for the accident, jumped before the crash came. He sat on a rail, high up on a hill near the scene of the accident, watching in a dazed way the wrecking crews at work. The dead, which filled to overflowing the morgues of the little town, are in many instances so frightfully mangled that identification is almost impossible. The engine of the express train ripped its way through the two day coaches in the rear, killing instantly, every one in them, plowed on through half of a steel Pullman, throwing the sleeping car off the track, and then came to a standstill with the green carpet of the Pullman flung about its pilot. The passenger train was heavily loaded and was drawn by two locomotives. It was running about half an hour late. The train had been standing on the track for twenty minutes when the express train, which carried no passengers, struck it in the rear at full speed. The two day coaches attached to the rear of No. 9 were hurled down an embankment and the express plunged half way through the rear Pullman of the standing train befoer it came to a stop. Eats a Torpedo; Dies. Andrew Hoffman, of Appleton, Wis., who ate a torpedo, mistaking it for candy, died. He had some caramels and torpedoes, both wrapped in red and white paper, in the same pocket, and chewed a torpedo by mistake. His face was blown away. Burning Alrship Falls Into Sea. In the sight of more than 3000 persons in Atlantic City, N. J., Melvin Vaniman and his four companions were hurled to death in the Atlantic ocean when the great dirigible balloon Akron exploded at a height of from 500 to 1000 feet. It was in this $500,000 gas bag that Vaniman had hoped some time to realize the ambition of his life—to be the first to cross the Atlantic ocean by the air route. The explosion of the balloon was caused apparently by sudden expansion under the rays of the sun, and the wreck of the dirigible, the finest ever constructed in this country, was plunged into eighteen feet of water on Brigantine bar, two miles from the Inlet hangar, from which the ill-fated trial trip had been started. Those who perished were: Melvin Vaniman, aeronaut and captain of the balloon. Calvin Vaniman, brother of Melvin Vaniman. Fred Elmer, member of the crew. George Bourillion, engineer of the airship. Walter Gest, a friend of Vaniman's, financial backer. The body of Calvin Vaniman, the only unmarried man on the alrship, was recovered by Councilman Harry Cook and a party of rescuers aboard his yacht. The body floated clear of the wreckage and while badly bruised was not burned by the explosion. Mrs. Melvin Vaniman, who saw the tragedy from the porch of the Vaniman home, collapsed from the shock and for a time was in a serious condition. She had several fainting spells, but later recovered sufficiently to see a few close friends, who called to console her. The dirigible was a quarter of a mile south of Brigantine Beach. The huge envelope, containing many thousands of cubic feet of gas, was rent by the explosion. It burst near the middle and a mass of flame hid the ship from the view for the space of possibly ten seconds. The dirigible was invisible, while the air about the spot where she had been hovering seemed to be all flames. Then suddenly the ship was outlined against the sun and was seen to fall like a plummet. First the understructure, or car, in which were penned the unfortunate men, held in by a mesh work put in after the second trip of the balloon three weeks ago, and unable to escape, broke away from the envelope. It turned on end, the bow turning first in a slow arc. Then it reversed suddenly and plunged downward. Almost immediately the wrecked bag followed, a smoking mass of rubber and silk, with flames shooting out from a dozen sections. It fluttered a moment and then streaked downward after the car. In full view of 20,000 persons gathered in Hillside uark, near Belleville, N.J., Tom Moore, who has done parachute drops at the park for the past five seasons, fell from the bar of his parachute and was dashed to death 1200 feet below. Moore's home was in Jacksonville, Fla. For five summers he has done drops at the park. He was twenty-five years old and was unmarried. The holiday crowd at the park broke all records, and when in the middle of the afternoon Moore and his partner, William C. Gillen, of Harrison, stepped into the balloon which was to take them up, the feature of the day began. Moore stayed in the balloon until he reached a height of about 3500 feet. He was scheduled to make a triple drop. There were three parachutes on his bar, and he was to open one, sail on that some distance, cut it loose, sail with another, cut it loose, and reach the ground on the last sail. The string of parachutes was cut loose, with Moore sitting on the bar. The second parachute had opened up and he was sailing downwards nicely when suddenly he pitched backwards from the bar and fell headlong. The spectators in the park watched silently for the moment that it took him to reach the ground and then went into a panic. The body struck the ground about half a mile from the park and within 200 feet of where Gillen had just landed safely. Hundreds of spectators rushed to the spot of the landing. Every bone in Moore's body was broken. Boy Drowns at Shore. Gus Schultz, of Philadelphia, lost his life in the ocean off New Jersey avenue, at Atlantic City, N. J., while thousands of persons congregated on the beach and boardwalk watched the thrilling attempt of the life guards to get to the drowning lad. It was the first drowning of the season.

Washington and Hon. J. C. Na- pier. It is also known that some of the white members on the trus- : tee boardewere of the same opinion, but. they, the favorably inclined white members, deferred to the representations of a majority oi the colored trustees that the time was not ripe for the selection of colored president. Dr. Newman, the newly elected president, is an amiable old minister of sixty- seven ruthless winters and as many withering summers. “The Bee_fa- vored a colored president, first, Decause we had capable men for the, high position: secondly, be- cause Howard University’s*student body is composed exclusively of young ‘colored men and women: thirdly, because the time is ripe for it. And we believe all lay members of the race who take pride in the advancement of the race will say that any one of the colored men mentioned for the place was better fitted, and better deserving of the place than some superannuated white minister who has passed the Osler stage in life The selection of Dr. Newman, in effect, reminds the colored mem- bers of Howard's faculty that all who enter there must Ieave hope behind. And it reminds the col- ored students at Howard, or whe contemplated entering Howard, that the highest position at the University is reserved for a white man, at the behest of colored trus: tee board members. It is gratify: ing to learn that at least two col: sored trustees were of the opinior that the race had men full size for the place, and deserved the place Saturday, June 28, 1912, was dooms day for the hopes and am hition of colored educators whc had the temerity to hope and as pire for higher honors which thes richly deserved. Saturday, June 28, 1912, the clock was turned back for aspiring colored educa: tors. We think Dr. Newman wa: a poor and unjust, (to colorec men) selection, but in the interes! of Howard University we wish him success. He accepted becauss it is a far better position than he ever enjoyed. and because it is ; far better position than his ripe olc years could hope for. If a whit man was to he chosen, why no dave chosen a man of vigorou: rather than destiny sare Anc they turned the clock back. CHARLES D. HILLES. The selection o Mr. Charles D. Hilles as chairman of the Republi- can National Committee to manage the campaign of President Taft for re-election was in every way a proper selection, and afitting rec- ognition of merit and loyalty. During the pre-convention contest the burden of the planning and the work fell to him. fe made no en- emis. but on the contrary made many friends by his tactful and sremtinely cordial manner of recciv- ing those who called to discus: with him the political _ situation . There is no more loyal man to the President than Mr. Hilles, and he is intensely earnest because he is absolutely loyal. Especially pleas ing is his selection to colored vot ers for the reason that there live: no white man who is more in sym pathy with the race’s efforts to ad vance than Mr, Hilles, and non: who is stronger in the convictior that the race is entitled to just rec cognition everywhere regardless 0 race or color, The — campaig ahead will doubtless be a har fought and strenuous battle, bu when it comes to the question of winning, in the language of Jack Bunsby, “if any man kin, he kin.” We congratulate Mr. Hilles upon having been chosen to conduct so important a campaign as that which is aliead of us; we congratu- late the members of the Republican National Committee upon the wis- dom or its choice for manager, and we pledge our ¢ordial and loyal support to him. The colored vot- ers are now doubly bound to ren- der support to the Republican ticket; first because the re-election of President Taft. means miuch— means everything for the race;and secondly, because we, as a race. owe it to Mr. Hilles that we help him make a sticcess as a campaign manager in return for the kind. considerate. and helpful assistance he has rendered the race both in the capacity of Assistant Secretary Jof the Treasury and as Secretary to the President. In both posi- tions he was ever alert to our wel- fare as citizens entitled to all that American citizens are entitled to. CUBA TO BAR IMMIGRATION. A Bill to Close the Door to the Black and Yellow Races. Those American Negroes who have heen classing Cuba as a country largely peopled by men of their race will have to revise their opinion. for a recent census shows that 70 per cent. of the phpulation are whites, The only way they can hope to vin- dicate their opinion is to prove that many of the whites have Negro blood in their veins, and disown the racc. <\t the present session of the Cuban Congress a bill has deen introdeced by Senator Gonsalez Perez, which proposes to prohibit the immigration of all black aml yellow races. This action is taken in order to promote and encourage white iminigation to Cuba—Exchange. It seems indeed Cubd has the white fever, which is contagious, the breezes of which must have emanated from the Southern States. It is a known fact when the fires lof liberty under the Spanish tyran- iy had.been well nigh extinguished, these same blacks, who are now be- ing disériminated against, were in- deed the gallant heroes whose bra- very revived the torch of liberty on the eastern end of that same island, Have*the white people of Cuba forgotten the martyrs of thé’recent revolution, in the person of, Macco; Bandaras, and a host of others who give the‘last drops of blood for the liberty the white Cubans are now enjoying? Shall the enactments of Cuban laws be a bar to those who fought for an independence which the American Nation is bound _to honor? What becomes of the Cu- ban patriots who sacrificed life. liberty and property to perpetuate a colistitution which should guar- antee protection to the deserved? While the laws of Cuba would bar the free entrance of American citizens, it will tend to create a new revolution which Cuba is not pre- pared to undergo. Cuba could not have thrown off the Spanish yoke of _ oppression without the assistance of the Amer- jcan black soldiers, consisting of four black regiments, who immor- talized‘themselves at the bloody ford and unflinchingly charged Sar Juan Hill and held the works until the 23.000 Spaniards surrendered, Why then, have not the -\meri- can blacks 4 right to enter a coun: try which they assisted to purchase by their blood and their swords. Let us reflect. “BULL MOOSE.” " A defeated .man no matter what scheme in which he is en- gaged will holler and bellow like a “Bull Moose. . Col. Roosevelt feels keenly the sting of hig defeat at the recent Chi. cago - Converition. Mr. Roosevelt would bave the ‘country to believe that he was offered the nomiriation and could have had it.

We gave in our last issue, a shadow of the list of the officers of the new body, which differs a little from the list of 'officers resulting from the election.

The foreign mission board is making a strong effort to raise money with which to purchase a metal house for them to live in; the cost of which, including freight, will be between seven and eight hundred dollars. A letter from Miss Taylor, dated June 17th, says: "We had a stormy voyage across the ocean. Miss Delaney was a little sick for two days, but I have not been affected so far. We hope to start on the other half of our journey on the 19th." When your convention or association meets, do not turn a deaf ear to the claims of your Lord and Master, touching this work of worldwide missions We may be careless about building fine churches putting in pire organs, building colleges, holding conventions, but to disobey the last imperative command of our Lord and Master will surely invite His "Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and angels; for I was a hungered, and ye gave me no meat; I was thirsty and ye gave me no drink; I was a stranger and ye took me not in; naked and ye clothed me not; sick and in prison, and ye visited me not." Surely our Lord had in mind some of the leaders of our time, as he said, "Many will say in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?" "Why call ye me Lord and Master and do not the things I bid you?" What a scathing rebuke to many men who get their living from Baptist Churches and do nothing to have churches fulfill the command of our Lord and Master.

President Taft will be re-elected. Wilson and Marshall is about as good a ticket as the Democrats could have put up—but it will be beaten. John Dancy and Judson Lyons will be "regulars" when the roll is called. "Charlie" Hall has "nuthin" to say on the Illinois political situation. Quite a number of colored Republican went over to the Baltimore convention in the role of "visiting statesmen." An anonymous correspondent is invariably a coward. An honest enemy is to be admired. He lights in the open. Voteless Negroes in the District are big talkers—that's all. Bishops J. Albert Johnson and W. H. Heard have to go back to Africa to serve the remainder of their term. The steadfast colored delegates at Chicago saved the good name of the race. The bugaboo of reduction of Southern representation "to get rid of the venal Negro delegate" has been killed for all time. Mr. Banks just played the wrong card at Chicago—that was all. Bishop Walters showed high-grade statesmanship at Baltimore. He put the Newlands "white suffrage plank out of business. Rumor has it that the erudite Prof W. H. H. Hart would not refuse a well-paying Federal plum. The Treasury Department looks good to him. Among the first to point out the peculiar availability of Dr. J. E. Shepard for the presidency of Howard University were the Washington Bee and the Durham Reformer, and the leading Washington correspondents quickly joined in the chorus. The "regular" Republican party is "the ship." The wise Negro will stick to it. Dr. J. E. Shepard is now a "D. D." The exalted title sets well upon him. The successor to President Thirkield at Howard University is a "New-man." The election of Prof. Kelly Miller as president of Howard University would have evoked enthusiasm. Andrew Carnegie, the philanthropist, writing to Booker T. Washington from Skibo Castle, Scotland, in acknowledgment of the article contributed by the latter to the public press on the subject of Negroes who have received recognition at the hands of the Carnegie Hero Commission, says: "I am deeply gratified at the constant proof that we have that our colored brethren are justifying our faith in them under your wise leadership, which is one of the most important facts of life in the republic." An absurd technicality robs the Washington Board of Education of the services of W. L. Houston, in many respects the most popular man ever named for membership therein. Such is life. Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson can be depended upon to "bring home the bacon." Where is W. T. Vernon, the sometime Register of the Treasury, and until recently a supervisor of Indian PURITY ICE COMPANY.

C., July 8.-The summer school and chataquqa of the National Religious Training School, this city, began July 3rd with an attendance far beyond the most sanguine expectations of the friends of this great movement. Most of the Southern States are represented. The association of the teachers, preachers and settlement workers-is ennobling. There is a spirit among them that makes the entire pictureque campus home like. There is a passionate beneficence as instructors from the leading institutions of learning in the race mingle with the student body. All the departments, with heads who are recognized nationally as experts in their work, are daily being filled. The number of past-time clubs and the keen interest manifested by every one to make everybody truly happy with the able lectures and other features of the chataquqa make the third summer school and chataquqa one of the greatest educational events in the history of the race. The various principles that the school stands for are animating the large body of teachers from as far south as Mississippi. There is an unusual interest in settlement work on the part of many of the women. Every train entering the city today is bringing a lage number of ministers from various States to attend the ministers' conference which will be in session at the school for the entire week. This is an event pregnant with hopeful signs of great good for the race. The subjects that will be discussed by them will cause judicious exchanges of ideas that will be of vital import in the realm of the minds and hearts of thousands of Afro-Americans. The weakness, ignorance and sin of millions of the race will be discussed and a splepid enthusiasm for real work to reach those who are proscribed to the detriment of their true development will be the ultimate outcome of the conference. The ministers who have arrived are working to that end. The principal speakers for the week are the eminent pulpiteers, theologians, authors and lecturers, Drs. Jesse L. Hurlburt, W. Y. Chapman, of Newark, N. J.; Hon. John C. Dancy, Prof. Kelly Miller, President James E. Shenard. Sunday afternoon Avery auditorium was filled with a record breaking crowd that heard the first sermon of the season by the great Bible authority and author, Dr. Jesse L. Hurlburt. At night the auditorium was again filled with an intelligent audience to hear Dr. Hurlburt give an illustrated lecture on the miracles of Christ. As usual the vocal and instrumental numbers for both occasions were inspiring features and of a high standard. Dr. W. Y. Chapman, who is one of the greatest preachers in America and a lecturer of exceptional ability and pastor of one of the wealthiest and most influential Presbyterian churches in the country will alternate with Dr. Hurlburt during the week in a series of lectures. President Shepard is giving the race, each year, such a source of rich things that it is an exceptional treat to hear these great characters. Until August 11th, when the summer school closes, every event of the season will be far above the average. For a cool and refreshing drink—Bush's Buffet is the place.

REPORT ATTACKS MOVE TO HAVE JUDGE ARCHBALD TAFT QUIT RACE Impeachment Demanded With Bitter Denunciation. Commerce Judge's Sense of Moral Obligation Is "Deadened," Declaree House Committee. Henry D. Clayton, chairman, of the house committee on judiciary, presented to the house thirteen articles of impeachment against Judge Robert W. Archbald, of the United States court of commerce. The report was unanimous. It constitutes the ninth impeachment of a judicial or civil official since the foundation of the government, and is the first since the impeachment trial of Judge Charles Swayne, of the Northern district of Florida, who was acquitted Feb. 27, 1905. "The conduct of this judge has been exceedingly reprehensible and in marked contrast with the high sense of judicial ethics and probity that generally characterize the federal judiciary," the committee says in summing up against Judge Archbald. His business transactions while a judge are held to unfit him for further service on the bench. A resolution is included formally impeaching him and requiring his trial before the senate. "Your committee is of the opinion that Judge Archbald's sense of moral responsibility has become deadened," says the report. "He has prostituted his high office for personal profit. He has attempted by various transactions to commercialize his potentiality as a judge. "He has shown an overweening desire to make gainful bargains with parties having cases before him or likely to have cases before him. To accomplish this purpose he has not hesitated to use his official power and influence. He has degraded his high office and has destroyed the confidence of the public in his judicial integrity. He has forfeited the condition upon which he holds his commission and should be removed from office by impeachment. "A judge should be the personification of integrity, of honor and of uprightness in his daily walk and conversation. He should hold his exalted office and the administration of justice above the sordid desire to accumulate wealth by trading or trafficking with actual or probable litigants in his court. He should be free and unaffected by any bias born of avarice and unhampered by pecunlary or other improper obligations." The report designates Representatives Clayton; Floyd, of Arkansas; Davis, of West Virginia, and Webb, of North Carolina, Democrats, and Norris, Nebraska; Sterling, Illinois, and Howland, Ohio. Republicans, managers to prosecute the trial before the senate. A resolution to name these men as managers will be introduced in the house. The report was made business for immediate consideration. The charges against Judge Archbold, set forth in thirteen articles, range from his business transactions with actual and possible litigants before him to a trip to Europe, which, it is charged, was given him by Henry W. Cannon, a railroad magnate. Favoritism to a railroad litigant is also included and in the thirteenth count the committee finds that Judge Archbold "grossly abused the proprieties of his said office of judge, was guilty of misbehavior and of misdemeanor in office." The penalty provided in successful impeachment cases is removal from office and may include a bar from ever holding any office of trust or honor. The senate, which tries officials impeached by the house, has been called upon to act as an impeachment court eight times heretofore. Judge Archbald was appointed as United States judge for the middle district of Pennsylvania by President McKinley, on March 28, 1901. On Dec. 27, 1901, he was recommended by President Roosevelt. He was commissioned a United States circuit judge and assigned to the commerce court by President Taft on Jan. 31, 1911. Must Restore $10,000,000 Stock. Trenton, N. J., July 9.—Vice Chancellor Stevens decided that, the executors and heirs of the late Henry O. Havemeyer must make restitution for $10,000,000 of common stock of the National Sugar Refining Company of New Jersey, which was issued to Mr. Havemeyer for no tangible consideration, thereby constituting a fraud within the meaning of the corporation laws of New Jersey. The decision is a victory for the preferred stockholders of the National company. Senator Bristow Is in Roosevelt Camp United States Senator Joseph L Bristow, of Kansas, has declared for Theodore Roosevelt for president in a letter to William Allen White, Roosevelt national committeeman from Kansas. Mr. Bristow declares that the renomination of President Taft was "fraudulent," and that "Republicans are in no way bound by it." Big Explosion at Dupont's. Several hundred pounds. of powder exploded in one of the Dupont Powder company's mills along the uppel Brandywine, near Wilmington, Del. No one was in the mill at the time. Republican Leaders Fear Defeat For the Party Unless Harmony Is Restored. A nation-wide movement to petition President Tatt to withdraw as the Republican presidential candidate is being backed by a large number of Republican officeholders, who feel that they face defeat in November unless the breach in the party can be healed. These men include members of congress, members of state legislatures which will elect senators, state and county office holders and party candidates. If the movement to petition Mr. Taft to withdraw succeeds in gaining any volume, it is said, these same men in the interest of party harmony may ask Colonel Roosevelt also to withdraw as a prospective candidate for an independent nomination and permit a compromise selection of some man agreeable to both factions of the party. It is the desire of the promoters of the scheme that a decision be reached before Aug. 5, when the Roosevelt faction plans to hold a convention in Chicago. The circulation of petitions, it was declared, would start within a week. It was stated that the movement would begin spontaneously in every state. The organizers are circulating blank forms of petitions and appointing supervisors who in turn will engage canvassers to solicit the signatures of Republican voters. The authors of the plan expect to offer practically every Republican voter in the United States a chance to express his opinion of Mr. Taft's candidacy either by signing the petition or rejecting it. The movement is in the hands of several members of congress. They are being alced by many of the extreme Roosevelt Republicans. The enlistment of the national progressive organization in the movement has been sought, and it was stated that Senator Dixon's organization was willing to co-operate. Information that the petitions were to be put before the voters became known Monday. No particular person is authority for the statement, and members of congress concerned were unwilling to stand sponsors for it until the movement was under way. In the circulation of the anti-Taft petitions an effort will be made to get them signed by organization Republicans and others who have stood with the president, as well as by citizens who have occupied neutral ground. There will be no special effort made to get progressive Republican signatures, as it is believed that to confine the petitions to that faction would encompass the defeat of the movement. The sponsors of the plan say one of its first results would be to let Mr. Taft know if there are any considerable number of regular Republicans who believe he should step aside in the interest of harmony. Colonel Roosevelt's third party convention will be held in Chicago on Aug. 5, either in the Coliseum or in Orchestra hall. The call for it, signed by Roosevelt leaders of forty states and addressed "To the people of the United States without regard to past political differences," was issued in New York city through Senator Joseph M. Dixon, campaign manager, in the new national headquarters of the party at the Hotel Manhattan. The party will probably be called the Progressive National party. The convention will decide as to that. Eight states—Maine, North Carolina, Delaware, South Carolina, Arkansas, Mississippi, Idaho and Nevada—are not represented in the provisional committee which signed the call for the convention. Firecracker Fails to Cure Hiccoughs. Physicians exploded a giant firecracker at the bedside of James McGowan at a hospital in Logansport, Ind., in the hope that the nervous shock would stop his hiccoughing, from which he had been suffering for five days, but though he was quieted he died of exhaustion. McGowan, who was forty-eight years old, had been hiccoughing continuously, and electricity and other remedial agents were tried without effect, before the opening of the Fourth of July celebration suggested the firecracker as a last aid. Civil Service For Navy-Yard Mechanics Ten thousand navy yard mechanics will pass under the protection of the civil service law when President Taft signs the executive order now being prepared by the navy department officials in conjunction with the civil service commissioners.

Special Liquor Sale Every Saturday. Ox Marrow. Wilson For President and Marshall For Vice President. FORMER POLLED 990 VOTES Deadlock In Convention was Broken on the Forty-sixth Ballot—Second Place Filled After Second Ballot. For president, Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey; for vice president, Thomas R. Marshall, of Indiana. This is the ticket named by the Democratic national convention in Baltimore, Md. The nomination of Governor Wilson came on the forty-sixth ballot of the convention. Wilson on the final vote got 900; Clark, 84, and Harmon, 12. The nomination was then made unanimous. Governor Marshall was nominated after two ballots had been taken. The nomination was also made unanimous. So rapidly did the states follow the lead set by Illinois in swinging to the "schoolmaster statesman" that his warmest supporters could hardly believe their ears, particularly after the long and arduous work of the past week. The final vote as recorded by the clerks was particularly gratifying to the Wilson supporters, because its figure—900—took away any chance for "Charlie" Murphy, the New York leader, to claim any credit for the governor's election. The tide set in strongly for Wilson on the forty-third ballot. Then the expected flop of Illinois led the way and others followed in rapid order, the New Jersey governor gaining a total of 108 votes. The final or forty-sixth ballot was made necessary by a technical objection raised by Senator Reed, of Missouri, to granting right to make the nomination by acclamation, which required a unanimous vote of the convention. Clark's vote came down to 84 and Harmon had only 12 supporters. Only two delegates were absent. The final vote was: Wilson, 990; Clark, 84; Harmon, 12; two absent. The nomination of a candidate for vice president at the night session was delayed until Champ Clark could be consulted. Senator Kern, of Indiana, presented the platform, and after it was read it was quickly adopted. Ex-Governor Alexander M. Dockery, of Missouri, then went to the platform. He said: "The Hon. Champ Clark has decided he cannot accept the nomination for vice president. But I want to say to you that Champ Clark will be as loyal to the nominee of this convention as any man. He has not reached this conclusion in plque, but for the reason that he would prefer to remain a representative in congress. Champ Clark occupies the same position that every man in the Missouri delegation does—he is for Woodrow Wilson, first, last and all the time." The storm of cheers, in which the men who were responsible for Wilson's nomination joined as heartily as the friends of the speaker, was a plain indication of the good feeling that was replacing the soreness and bitterness. Result of first ballot for vice president: Burk, 305½; Marshall, 389; Chamberlain, 157; Hurst, 77; Preston, 58; McCombs, 18; Sulzer, 3; Wade, 26; Osborne, 8; absent, 46½. The second ballot resulted as follows: Burke, 387½; Marshall, 645½; Chamberlain, 12½. The chairman of the North Dakota delegation thereupon moved that the nomination be made unanimous after having withdrawn Governor Burke's name. The convention then adjourned sine dle. The Platform. The platform declares for tariff for revenue only and blames the Republican tariff for the creation of immense fortunes and the high cost of living. Denounces President Taft for vetoing the tariff bills to reduce the duty on cotton, wool, metals, chemical schedules and the farmers' free list. Declares the high cost of living is due to the protective tariff and promises downward revision. Favors vigorous enforcement of the anti-trust laws. Favors an income tax and popular election of United States senators. Declares for presidential primaries to nominate candidates for president and vice president. Promises to enact a law to prohibit campaign contributions from corporations. Favors one term for president. Denounces Republican extravagance. Favors supervision and rate regulation of railroads, express companies, telegraph and telephone lines. Denounces the Aldrich monetary bill and the central bank scheme. Favors development of waterways and conservation of natural resources. Favors national aid for the construction of post roads. Would exempt American ships from tolls when passing through Panama canal. Demands the honest enforcement of the civil service law. Favors granting independence to Philippine Islands as soon as stable government can be established. Declares for parcels post and generous pensions to war veterans.

THOMAS RILEY MARSHALL MOTHER KILLS TWO CHILDREN AND SELF Despondent from fear of a return of a malady from which she was supposed to have recovered, Mrs. Florence Boyd, aged forty-one years, the wife of Edward Boyd, of West Chester, Pa., killed her two children and herself with gas. The family, who lived at 124 Linden street, came to West Chester last April from Kennett Square, where the husband and father had charge of a large estate. He found work on the West Chester Traction line as a motorman. After he left home, Mrs. Boyd, having prepared breakfast for the children, May, aged seven, and Noble, aged five, went upstairs to a second-story room where they slept. She closed the doors and windows, stuffed the crevices with paper, turned on the gas and lay down beside the little ones to die. Women neighbors noticed as the day wore on that the Boyd children were not about as usual, and fearing something was wrong began an investigation. No being able to enter the Boyd home, they became alarmed and nosed their fears about. They called Dr. Oscar Dick, and he succeeded in entering. He found the woman and two children dead. They had been lifeless for several days. S. B. Russell, deputy coroner, who investigated the tragedy, was of the opinion that the case was plainly one of murder and suicide, due to the woman's state of mind. The husband, when informed og the affair, was prostrated. HOBOES MUST PLAY BALL Magistrate Will Lock Up the Nine That Loses. Thirty hoboes, who were rounded up by the police of Plymouthboro, near Shenandoah, Pa., were taken before Burgess Morris for sentence, and he decreed that he will lead a parade to the best base ball diamond in the horough. Two teams will be selected, and the burgess declares the game must be hotly contested from start to finish. The losers are to be rather severely punished. After the full nine innings have been played the losing team will be taken to the lockup and held as prisoners for two days, putting in their time pounding stoneo n the streets of the borough. The victors are also to be taken back to the lockup, but held only long enough to be well fed, when they will be ordered to shake the dust from their feet in a hurry and get out of the town. Burgess Morris is a great base ball fan, and is particularly anxious to see just how will men can play the great national game when their liberty depends on the outcome of the contest. Drowns Trying to Save Sinking Chum. Eugent Rife, twenty-two years of age, was drowned in a fruitless effort to save the life of George Gordon, a companion.

MOORE, Reduce the Workingman's Income Without Any Material Reduction of His Expenditures. (From the Boston Advertiser.) A large number, possibly a majority, of the Democratic delegates insist that the time has come to make the tariff issue the leading one in the coming campaign, and they insist that the Democratic party come out flatly and unqualifiedly for the absolute destruction of any principles of protection to American labor. If this threat should be carried out the Democratic candidate will go before the country on a specific and exact declaration that in placing the duties on imprinted articles hereafter Congress must not consider the difference in wages as paid to American labor and those paid to labor in competing industries abroad. The Democratic idea seems to be that American workers in the great industrial establishments can afford to have their wages cut, as the cost of living will be appreciably reduced by a Democratic tariff policy. If the Democratic tariff policy were to apply to the chief items of the workingman's weekly bills the argument might seem actually stronger than it now does. The chief item in the bills of any wage earners are those which have to do with food and rent. The Democratic policy does not and cannot affect rents. The price of property is not usually affected by the tariff, in any way, unless the policy pursued drives so many workers from their homes as to make houses in the neighborhood of factories undesirable and unsought. In other words, the only way the tariff could reduce rents would be by wrecking the great American industries; and that in itself would be no boon to American labor. Now as to the cost of foodstuffs, The Democrats in Congress have shown a determination not to follow any tariff policy which will reduce the cost of the chief foods of wage earners—bread, meat, fruits, dairy products. The Democratic leaders are quite willing to cut the rates on steel and on sporting goods. But the bitter resistance to any policy of smaller duties on the necessaries of life in the workingman's family, and especially for the food supply of the wage earner, deserves more extended notice and discussion during the coming campaign. The Democratic leaders, who hold that the time has come for abolishing the protection to the American wage rate, insist that it will be no great harm to the country in general to abolish the present standard of wages and to substitute for the existing wage rate the lower wages paid to workmen in British or Continental factories. The foreign workmen live on such wages, they insist. That is true enough, after a fashion; but how do they live? The Democratic leaders do not attempt to maintain that the European artisan lives as well as the American wage earner. And yet they are unwilling to allow the repeal of the duties on food products. They are inconsistent, then, in pretending to believe that the abolition of the protective policy in tariff making and the consequent decrease in wages will be a good thing for the wage earners of this country. Because of his eminent fitness for the ministry and the effective work that he is doing and excellent results obtained through his plans as strongly set forth by the National Religious Training School, Musklingum College, at Concord, Ohio, conferred the degree of Doctor of Divinity upon Dr. James E. Shepard. Although the institution conferring the degree is one of the smaller colleges, but its standard is so high and its graduates such eminent characters that it is recognized throughout the country as a great institution of learning. This act of the college is quite significant because Dr. Shepard is the only Negro ever honored by this college. Among the host of graduates who are rendering their share for the true uplift of humanity are the late Dr. Harper, president of Chicago University; Dr. Morehead, dean of Xenia Theological Seminary, Xenia; Ohio; Dr. Lawrence, Hon. W. J. Bryan's pastor; Dr. McClenahan, pastor of the great Presbyterian Church, Pittsburg, Pa.; Dr. Jesse Johnson, an authority on Church History and Apologetic and such men as J. Walter Liggitt. This college boasts of the fact that 55 percent, of its male graduates are either in the ministry or the missionary work of the world. This is a signal honor for the race. DINING ROOM. J. A.
