XXXIII NO13 ROOSEVELT SCORED ROOSEVELT SCORED WHILE NEGROES CHEER. Dr. Ransom Denounces Ex-President as the Worst Enemy Black Man Ever Had-"Lily White" an Insult. Negroes "Saved His Ungrateful Life When He Was a Soldier in Cuba." (New York Sun.) To a running accompaniment of applause, mingled at times with cheers, at the Bethel A. M. E. Church yesterday afternoon, the Rev. Dr. Reverdy C. Ransom, editor of the A. M. E. Review, denounced Theodore Roosevelt as the worst enemy the Negro ever had in America. There, were hisses as he dwelt upon the Progressive party nominee's presence to be following in the footsteps of Abraham Lincoln; a comparison, the speaker said, between a man who emancipated the Negro and a man who is willing that he be enthralled again. The meeting was to celebrate the 121st anniversary of the revolt of the plantation slaves of Hayti, but it was pretty well understood among the better class Negroes of the city that it was to be taken as an occasion for criticism of the inconsistent attitude toward the Negro by the third party North and South. A score or more ministers headed by Bishop Walters of the church were present and the congregation jammed the big edifice from pulpit to front steps. Rr. Ransom delivered the principal address, and he only mentioned the revolt of a century ago incidentally before turning to the subject uppermost in the minds of the congregations. He started out by reading the letter of Col. Roosevelt to Julian Harris in which he advised that the course "we are following in the North' be pursued and the course "we are following in the South" he followed in the interest of the colored man. Then the minister read the answer of Mr. Harris which said his party understood the first letter as saying "go ahead and do as you see fit." A text from Isaiah, xxviii., 17, wound up the quotations. It reads: "Lay judgment to the line and righteousness to the alummet." Dr. Ransom said the correspondence had caused him more pain than anything in his twenty years' experience; it had been as if he had burned a dear friend. It was a most revolting outrage and it stupefied like a brutal blow. He had hoped against hope from the Chicago convention: he had pinned his faith to Miss Jane Addams, one of the choice spirits of all this earth, "but," he added bitterly, "even she, one of the rarest among the daughters of men, surrendered the cause of justice for her colored fellow citizens to secure things she valued more in her splendid program of social and civic uplift. "I joined the large and representative body of colored men who went to the Republican national convention to work for Roosevelt's nomination." said he: "This was because I believed in his 'square deal,' his 'door of hope,' and his 'all men up' and not some down,' and other catch phrases. We were not disturbed by the third term outcry against him. What we wanted was just and equal treatment in this nation. Less than one term of President Taft had proved a disappointment to us. We thought it not wrong to urge Negro delegates to break away from Mr. Taft, first by voting against Senator Root for temporary chairman and next against the report of the committee on credentials; then, if necessary, against Mr. Taft direct." The speaker declared notice had been served on the Colonel in the Bethel Church at Chicago and at that time nothing was answered. Concerning this the speaker said to great applause: "His promises are as unstable as water; his covenant with the people is a mask for personal ambition; his doctrines are used as beautiful traps to catch the noble, earnest and aspiring but unsuspecting. He would make the Constitution easy of amendment, while openly advocating the nullification of the Fifteenth Amendment." He got a cheer when he added: "He has proved faithless and the fight is on." A moment later Dr. Ransom said: "Much but by no means all that he says about the Negro delegates from the South is true. If there has been corruption among them, who more than Theodore Roosevelt has profited by the fruits of it in the past? Who more than he has, courted and flattered them? Did he not less than three months ago openly bid their support? Did he not when President appoint some of these same men to office and loudly proclaim their high character and efficiency? No one knows better than he that both in morals and unselfish patriotism the Negro delegate has nothing to lose by the most rigid comparison with the white delegates from the same section. Let Mr. Roosevelt point to any man in public life who has done more than he to create or foster these same Southern political conditions that he now so vehemently deplores." "If Mr. Roosevelt thinks that the self-respecting Negroes will submit to this monstrous outrage," said Dr. Ransom, "let me remind him that there are millions of our race who still possess the same fighting spirit and courage that saved his ungrateful life when he was a soldier in Cuba." Dr. Ransom dwelt on the lily white Roosevelt party as undemocratic, un-American and an insult to all Ne- groes. He called upon the Republican party to come back and deal courageously with the political oligarchy of the South. He did not advise his hearers what to do in this coming election, but many of them expressed their intention of voting for Wilson. Bishop Walters himself went down to Sea Girt several weeks ago and made a one minute call just long enough to tell the Governor that he was for him. OFFICER J. W. GREEN. Commended Three Times for Meritorious Services—An Honest and Brave Officer—From a Distinguished Family. Officer J W. Green, one of the bravest and most active members of the metropolitan police force, was born in Mana-sas, Va. About thirteen years ago he was appointed to the metropolitan police force of this city. He graduated from the Military Academy at Danville, Va., in 1879, with high honors. This officer is known for his bravery and honesty which have been commended twice by Captains Sullivan, Elliott, and Williams. Mr. Green is from good old Virginia stock, his father was the founder and first editor of the Alexandria, Va., Gazette one of the greatest papers in the South. The father of Mr. Green was an eminent Virginia lawyer, and his grandfather was a State Senator from Maine. There is no man better known to the bar of this city than Mr. Green. He is highly popular as well. Since his connection with the police force Mr. Green has made many important arrests. So active and sat- JOHN WILLARD GRI-FNF One of the Most Popular Men in the Police Department JOHN WILLARD GREFFNE One of the Most Popular Men in the Police Department isfactory has been his work in the department he was promoted to the detective branch of the department. It was while in this department he was severely injured by a fall from a motor cycle. His enemies have frequently conspired to do him official injury, but every time he has been fully vindicated and his would-be traducers have received a rebuke from the higher officials. During Mr. Green's connection with the force, and while he was doing duty in the Eighth Precinct, he was an inveterate enemy to the illegal whiskey traffic that was going on there. He made more arrests and convictions of speakeasies than any other officer in that precinct. He is not a vindictive officer, and neither will he make unnecessary arrests. His cases are always well made before he presents them to the court. He never tries to manufacture evidence to convict. It is not his stock in trade. He knows no man by the color of his stock. The entire Green family is above color prejudice. Mrs Green, the wife of Officer Green, is a most amiable and accomplished young lady, and she comes from one of the leading families in this city. There is not a more beautiful or refined lady to be found anywhere in this city. She is devoted to her husband and does everything to advance his interests. Officer Green is liked by all who know him, and his many influential Congressional and Senatorial friends would like to see him major or superintendent of police. He would no doubt fill the position with honor and dignity. History of Education. "History of" Education, from the Greeks to the Present Time," by Prof John H. Jackson, A. M., A.

Prof. Jackson is a profound writer and thinker, and his book is one that will do credit to any home. Agents wanted at once for the book. Apply or write to The Bee, 1109 Eye Street Northwest. Col Young in the City. Col. James Young, of Raleigh, N. C., one of the bravest and best known men in the South, and a gentleman of the highest type, accompanied by his most accomplished daughter, Miss Maude Young, arrived in the city Tuesday. Con. Young is the guest of Mr. W. S. Mayo, and Miss Maude returned to Howard University, where she is a teacher of music. [Picture of a man in a suit and tie]. Assistant Attorney General of the United States, Wins His Fight in the American Bar Association. ASS'TATTY.GEN.WINSHE CANNOT DECEIVE Attorney General Wickersham Fights For His Man. MILWAUKEE, WIS., Aug. 27. Fifty-four lawyers, with at least one from each State, today completed for presentation to the American Bar Association a report denouncing as "dangerous to the country" all movements for the recall of judges or of judicial decisions. The report cites that in Ohio the constitutional convention declined to apply recall to the judges, but provided that laws should be passed for the prompt removal on complaint and hearing of judges for any misconduct involving moral turpitude. State Association in Fight. The report says this substantially is the system used in Massachusetts, New York, and several other States, and says that, in addition to California and Oregon, where the judicial recall exists, the only other States which have taken steps toward the recall are Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, and North Dakota. In the latter States, the report asserts, the bar associations have started campaigns against the recall. Those who signed the report include Frank B. Kellogg, Minnesota; William B. Hornblower, New York; Lawrence Maxwell, Ohio; Edmund E. Trahue, Kentucky; Jacob Dickinson, former Secretary of War, is named as one of those who originated the committee "to expose candidacy of judicial recall." NEGROES NOT WANTED. Are So-Called Negro Democrats Sane? * Newlands' Stab. "In the discussion in the Senate Saturday on the general deficiency bill, Senator Newlands, who presented a plank to the Baltimore convention dealing with the race question, laid the foundation for the future consideration of that subject, which, he said, he believed was bound to become one of the most serious problems the American people would be called upon to solve. "For many years," said Senator Newlands, "I have been profoundly impressed by the racial complications of the United States, holding within its boundaries, as it does, nearly 12,000,000 of blacks, and facing on the Pacific hundreds of millions of people of the brown and yellow races, who look upon the United States as the promised land of opportunity. "At the Baltimore Democratic convention I presented a platform plank proposing to restrict suffrage in and immigration to this country to people of the white race." Roosevelt Changes View. "Later, Mr. Roosevelt, whose views regarding the right of the blacks in the South have hitherto been marked hostility to the prevailing sentiment of the South, astonished the country by his declaration in favor of organizing a Progressive party as a white party in the South and as a white and black party in the North. "So far as the platform plank which I sought to have adopted at Baltimore is concerned, I found there was an unwillingness to add this issue to the many presented by the Democratic party in this campaign. I therefore withdrew the plank." Stating that he had no disposition at that time to discuss the race question, Mr. Newlands had printed in the Record various interviews with him on the subject, with particular reference to the humanitarian and kindly considerations which controlled him in the advocacy of the views he had. CHANGE OF SENTIMENT Roosevelt Can No Longer Deceive the Negro-What the Editor Heard North. On my return from Utica, New York, last week, I made it a point to ascertain the sentiment of the colored voter toward President Taft Not only has the sentiment changed among Negroes, but among white Republicans as well. I found in the city of Utica, the home of Vice President Sherman, a sentiment which seems to permeate the entire State in favor of the Republican Presidential candidates. In the State of New Jersey, and I talked with men who vote and know the value of a vote; I shall take Jersey City, N. J., where I remained for some time. I took occasion to ascertain the opinion and sentiment of the voters. I was informed that two or three weeks prior to the Bull Moose convention the Negro voter favored Roosevelt, but today, said an influential and well known colored Republican, that a reaction had set in, and that the colored voter today was for President Taft. I found that there is a complete sentiment in favor of the re-election of the President. There are some few Negroes who are out for revenue only. They would sell their mother for filthy lucre. There are a few colored men who don't care whether they sacrifice their rights or not. They want money and nothing else. If you will look at the complexion of the colored Democrat and ascertain what his ability is to draw, I have found but few Negro Democrats with any influence or standing sufficient to influence the colored voters. The colored voter has his own destiny in hand. He must choose between good and evil. He ought to be convinced that the Democratic party is his inveterate enemy. I am convinced that the colored voter is satisfied that his future salvation is in the re-election of President Taft. He is convinced that there is nothing in the Democratic party. He sees such men as Newlands, Vardaman, Hoke Smith, Daniels, Tillman, Hefflin and others plotting to destroy the constitutional liberty of the colored Americans by creating a poisonous sentiment against them. I heard a colored voter in Jersey City say, what can the black man do, when such men as those named are doing all in their power to destroy the usefulness of the colored American. I find that they have realized what a predicament the colored Americans are in in the South. The Northern voter is determined to resent the treachery of Roosevelt to the Southern blacks. They will not be used for the personal aggrandizement of an ambitious politician. I find that the Northern voter will resent the foolhardy utterances of Newlands, of Nevada. That he will no longer be the slave, the sycophant and the serf of the unadulterated rebels in the South. I was thoroughly convinced that the few colored men who will sell their birthright to the Democratic party have no future in view. They are living for today only. If you ask a Negro Democrat why he is a Democrat, that moment he becomes "tong-tied." He has no argument to advance. The Northern voter that will decide the political contest in November has his eyes open and he is not asleep at his post. If the sentiment among the Northern colored voters has changed so quickly, what will be the sentiment two months from now? The Northern voter has no faith in the "Bull Moose party, and less in its principles and leaders. The outlook for the triumphant reelection of President Taft is bright A change of sentiment prevails. W. C. G. HON. C. O. LOBECK. One of the Best Known Men in the west—From a Salesman to the malls of Congress—An Unsurpassed Record. "C. O. Lobeck, Democrat, of Omaha, was born at Andover, Ill., April 6, 1852. Received a common school education at Andover, later at high school Geneseo, Ill., and one year at German Wallace College, Berea, Ohio and later a term at Dyhrenfurth Commercial College, Chicago. As a boy clerked in a general store during vacations; at 17 years of age commenced regular work as salesman in general store at Dayton, Iowa. From 1875 to 1892 was a commercial traveler in western Iowa and the State of Nebraska, selling dry goods the first four years and hardware from 1880 to 1892 is a member of the Travelers' Protective Association; is married and has two daughters, Gladys and Marguerite; is a Methodist; entered political life in 1892, being elected State Senator (Omaha district), Nebraska, as a Republican; in 1896 became a Silver Republican, supporting Mr. Bryan; in 1897 was elected a three-year-term city councilman of Omaha and reelected in 1900; was elected city comptroller of Omaha in 1903 and reelected in 1906 and 1909 for three- ПОХ С О ЛОВЕСК year terms, was Democratic presidential elector for Nebraska in 1900, was nominated at the primary election August 16, 1910, over four competitors and was elected to the Sixty-second Congress, receiving 15,912 votes to 15,673; for A. L. Sutton, Republican, and 982 for Peter Mehreens, Socialist. Although a Democrat, he is popular in his district and from all indications he will be returned. His record from the Congressional Record speaks for itself. Mr. Lobeck is a hard worker, attends all sessions of Congress, and meetings of the committees to which he is assigned, and gives careful attention to all legislation. As a member of the District Committee, he has discharged his duties faithfully. He has been particularly favorable to legislation tending to place the pension system of the widows and orphans of the Metropolitan Police Department on a safe and sound basis. Mr. Lobeck is an active member of the Woodmen of the World, being affiliated with the Omaha Camp, of Omaha, Neb. He is a man of fine character, kind, sincere and obliging, and has made many friends in this city. It is hoped that the people of his district, who he has so honorably served, will deem it wise to return him to the Capitol, an honor which he deserves. Hospitable Treatment. Those ladies of the Eastern Star and the Daughters of Isis who attended the "International Conference" of the higher degree Masons last week, have every reason to feel proud of their hospitable treatment whilst in this city. A number of entertainments both public and private, were given to the visitors, among which was a reception at the Auditorium in Eighth Street, East Washington, under the auspices of the Grand Chapter, Order of the Eastern Star, embracing music, dancing, refreshments, etc., to which all visitors were cordially invited, free of all charge. A luncheon to the Past Grand Matrons at Masonic Hall in Nineteenth Street Northwest, also a number of private social entertainments so general in this city. The visitors unanimously expressed themselves as "delighted" with their treatment, and were agreeably surprised at the manner in which the arrangements were perfected, and carried out by the committee of the Eastern Star, embracing Past Grand Matron Mrs. Eugene Brooks, and Miss Jennie Cox, and Associate Grand Matron of this District, Miss Eva Lucas. The lady visitors certainly have no cause to complain, either of uncomfortable housing nor unkind and ungenerous treatment, and they must have left this city deeply impressed with the liberality and hospitality of the ladies of this jurisdiction.

We decided that our interests as a business organization\lay on the Re- publican side“and we decided to make this contribution.” Mr. Archbold‘ explained that $100, 000 went to the Republican, national committee, and that $23,000 was given to Senator Penrose for the Republi- can state committee. The $25,000 given to Mr. Penrose, he sald,-was a Political contribution, and not a pay- ment for services in public or private life.

He quoted Mr. Bliss as saying: “I speak: to you personally; I think you had better make this contribution.

Phillips and bis wife Mary are being held in the Woodlawn jail on a charge of murder. The warrant for the arrest of Msr. Kobler was made by District Attorney L. E. Gra- ham, following the story told by eight- year-old Mary Huber, a niete of Mrs. Phillips. The girl said that Mrs. Kohler was the only member of the household who was down stairs at the time the baby was poisoned. She said that she heard the crying of the baby, and, Tushing from an upstairs room, found Mrs. Kohler hurrying up the stairs from tbe first floor. The baby was ly- {ng in a crib in the diningroom, when the polson was administered. At the time of the inquest Mrs. Koh- ler gave damaging testimony against ber daughter and son-in-law, and It was this tha caused their arrest on the charge. . Ginack’ Raven tahined:.

ROOSEVELT KNEW SAYS ARCHBOLD Dil Trust vgilt and Pen- rose Testify, THEY TELL OF CONTRIBUTIONS Archbold Admits He Furnished $25, 000 for Pennsylvania Campaign In 1904—Backs Up Senator Penrose. (Gr backs Up Senator Penrose. Hoth Senator Penrose, of Pennsyl- yanla, and John D. Archbold, of the Standard Ol company, testifying un- der oath, told the senate committee probing :campalgn contributions that | the oll trust contributed $125,000 to the Roosevelt campaign funds in 1904; | that the money was not returned, and that they had been informed tout Roosevelt knew of and “appreciaicd” the contribution. 7 Archbold corroborated fully the charges made by Penrose in the sen- ate, and both affirmed the belief that the alleged $25,000 letter to Penrose from the oil mzn was a forgery. Sena- tor Penrose had his statement to the aenate put into the record and under- went an hour's eramination. At the close of Senator Penrose’s testimony the committee adjourned, and it was announced that George AV. ¥erkins, of New York, would appear next Tuesday. ‘When Archbold finished his test! mony several members of the com- mittee conferred over the advisability of inviting Colonel Roosevelt to tes- tly. Mr. Penrose wants the commit- tee to serve the colonel with a manda- tory subpoena. -Mr. Archbold’s testimony was re- gatded of such {mportance that. it was determined to call William Rockefeller, if his health wiil permit, and to recall George B. Cortelyou, Re- publican national chairman in 1904. Penrose Testifies. Penrose in asking that his’ state- ment be incorporated in the record made oath to the statements contain- ed in it. He expressed willinsuess to answer any questions, and referring to Ioose- yelt’s attitude toward oll trust money eald: “I certainly felt at the time this contribution was made by Mr. Arch- bold that Mr. Roosevelt was in har- aieny with the suggestion of finan- cial aid from that company. “I also knew of the urgency of the request of Mr. Bliss to Mr. Archbold for the additional $150,000,” said Pen- rose, “and his saying that the refusal to give it\would probably result in re- tallatory measutes, the theory being that it threw the ‘powers that be,’ a3 Mr, Archobld calls them, into other financial hands, and that the Standard Ol company would be the ‘goat,’ as the popular saying Is.” Senator Pomerene took up the ex- amination of Senator Penrose, and in- quited as to various Interviews with }Archbold and other men connected | with the Standard Ol! company. “Mr. Archbold told me,” said Sena. | tor Penrose, “that his board of direc- ters would decline to aid in the na- )ticnal campaign if there was any se- crecy about the matter—if thelr ac- tivity was not known to President Herve and Mr. Cortelyou."” . At these interviews was anything sal@ about Mr, Roosevelt's views on the tariff?” “It was generally under: stoud that be stood far a prote*tive wae as outlined in the Republican nlatforms since 1896,” answered Pen- Fuse, “Was anything said about his atti- | tude toward so-called big business?" asked Pomerene. “There was a g0n- eral assurance on the part of Mr. | Bliss that the powers of the preside ‘Ut office would not be used in a | harsh way for demagogic effect.” : Penrose declared he told Archbold that he was making a mistake In not making the second contribution of $150,000, and that Archbold agreed with him. : % 6 was positive that Mr. Roosevelt | nevef bad sugyested to him that the Standard Oil company money be re turned. a si Penrose denied that he had ever re- ceived any contribution from Arch! j bold, save the one $25,000, and reat: firmed his bellef that the published fac simile of a letter to him from Archbold was a forgery. He sald that on many oceasions, beginning with a j conference shortly after the Republi- can convention of 1904, he, Bliss and Rogers talked finances with Archbold. Penrose discussed the now, defunct industrial commission, upon which he served, and declared that it was “A malignant and innocuous organization whose findings slumber in government vaults beyond all hope of resurrec tion.” Ho declared that he never -tu his knowledge gave out any informa. tion concerning the commission in ad: vance to Archbold. Senator Pomerene asked Senator Penrose wbout reading the report of the commission to Archbold in ad. vance. x ‘ef that report was sent,” said Sena. tor Penrose, “and I have no way of telling whether {t was or not, It was Twe Travelers, Largely as a matter of experiment a gentleman determined toascertain how thoroughly he could familiarize him- selt witb a country by weuns of waps and books of description, To make the case as ditficult as possible be ehose Madayascur. of which to that moment be bud no knowledge except of 2 most xeuera! charteter ie pur sued this inquiry diligently and with Increasiag rellst At the end of four’ or Gve years a man who bad just re- turned frow Madagsscur came ito his ottice The conversation naturally turned upon the island whence this man bad coe The traveler, tinalty asked, “When were you last in Muda- gnseur?” “f bave gever been there.” was the rexpoose “Why.” exeluuued the other, “you know more abut It than Lido” A similar story fs tutd-of Vou Humboldt, who never raw Jera- salem, but produced a thoroughly re- Mable account of the Holy City ‘The traveler hax often discovered that the peronx whe apparently know wast about # place are thoxe who bave tiv- ed in it all thelr days —Cbristlin ad- vouute Prophetic Belle.

The author of "Two Years in the Forbidden City," the Princess Der Ling, was a lady in waiting at the court of the famous empress dowager of China. Her majesty, the princess tells us, had an excellent estimate of herself. "I have often thought," she once confessed, "that I am the most clever woman that ever lived and that others cannot compare with me." Notwithstanding this favorable opinion, there were interesting lapses in universal knowledge, as when Miss Carl painted her portrait, and her majesty noticed the artist's signature in the corner of the canvas. "Well, I know foreigners do some funny things," she remarked, "but I think this is about the funniest I ever heard of. Fancy putting her name on my picture. This will naturally convey the impression that it is a portrait of Miss Carl and not a portrait of myself at all." Even after the princess—who was of western education—had explained, and the empress had consented to allow the signature to remain, she was anything but satisfied. Don't Be Too Expert Having graduated from a business college with honors, the young man thought himself competent to tackle any problem in banking that could be learned without actual experience, but the old clerk knew better. "Can you make an erasure so neatly that it would take an expert to tell where it had been done?" he asked. "Yes, sir," said the young man, with conscious pride. "Well, for heaven's sake don't tell your prospective employer so or you will be looking for a job this time next year," the old clerk said. "Employers are afraid of too much skill in that direction. It gives such enormous opportunities for fraud that they will fight shy of hiring you. "I found that out in my young days.

Two hours later the advertising man laid this on the bank president's desk: "If Ellijah were living today there would be no ravens to feed him. That brand of raven has gone to roost forever.

I happened to be reading some obvious newspaper proofs in a train when the good natured man next to me, with the intention no doubt of making himself agreeable, asked, "Ah, are you connected with the press?" I intimated briefly and perhaps not overcourteously that it was none of his business. He persisted that it was a quite civil inquiry, which I met with the remark that I bad not asked him whether he was a clerk or a shop assistant. As he was obviously neither, this nettled him. "If I knew," he said, "what newspaper you belong to I would never buy it again."—London Chronicle. Thackeray and Dickens. This is the way George Henry Lewes once characterized Thackeryan and Dickens in the way of service to a friend: Dickens, he said, would not give you a farthing of money, but he would take no end of trouble for you. He would spend a whole day, for instance, in looking for the most suitable lodgings for you and would spare himself neither time nor fatigue. Thackeryan would take two hours' grumbling indecision and hesitation in writing a two line testimonial, but he would put his hand into his pocket and give you a handful of gold and bank notes if you wanted them. Bonus. "Bonus" ought to be "bonum," since it is evidently intended to mean "a good thing" and therefore should be neuter, not masculine.

Neal, attorney, located at 612 F Street Northwest, presented a resolution in the Central Citizens' Association, to authorize Congress to separate the whites from the blacks in street cars. Who this man Neal is, The Bee doesn't know. It knows every lawyer of standing and influence at the court, but it has never heard of Neal. True, as The Bee stated in its comment on Newland's attack on the Negro, obscure white men must attack the Negro to be known. The Negro has just as much right to enjoy the advantages of public vehicles as any other citizen. Why should separate cars be established in this city? The Bee ventures the assertion that Wm. J. Neal would not be permitted to enter our best colored society in this city, and certainly we have thousands of sweet, cultured ladies of the Negro race, who feel themselves superior to any female in Neal's family, and above associating with any. The objection of the Bee is, why should our young ladies of refinement be subjected to humiliation. The Bee ventures the assertion that there are many refined and cultured white people who would not tolerate Neale. The Bee would suggest to this great immaculate white man to make application to the University Club, the Metropolitan, the Army and Navy, and let us know what disposition would be made of it. There are hundreds of Negroes who have been invited to the White House reception. The Bee ventures the assertion that Neal has never received an invitation. Will Mr. Neal let us know how many first-class white people he can associate with? Will Mr. Neal name the number of exclusive organizations that he is in? Will he name those to which he has made application? And those who have rejected him? Will this great (?) attorney inform The Bee whether he is known outside or in the courts, if he is known at all, this is the first time The Bee has ever heard of him. Just what got it into the heads of these-poor white people that they are better than a Negro. The Bee doesn't know. A first-class cultured white man or woman is never disturbed about where he or she sits. Does Neal know that he could not be admitted to the homes of the Leiters. Longworth. Parker, Brown, and such cultured people? These poor white people who believe that they are better than Negroes, and many of them can't enter first-class society, ought to die, because they will weary themselves to death try to force the Negro to acknowledge his inferiority to the poor white man. This he will never do. IS THIS PROGRESS? In the State of California it is legally impossible this year for any new party to put Presidential electors in the field, unless such party polled at least ten per cent of the State vote in the preceding State elections. Hence, the Roosevelt party unable to put electors in the field, have stolen the electors chosen in the Republican primary election, thereby disfranchising the whole Republican vote of the State of California. We ask, is this progress? In the State of Kansas, the Roosevelt party, after loud vociferations of its animosity to "both the old parties" has so confused the voters of that State by the appropriation of Republican electors that it has been necessary to submit the matter to the United States Supreme Court for decision. We ask, is this progress? In the whole United States, the Roosevelt party has declared the black man at the North to be white, and the black man at the South to be black. We ask, is this progress? George W. Perkins, head of the Harvester Trust, now being prosecuted for violation of the Sherman anti-trust law, after its affairs had been carefully investigated by the office of the Attorney General of the United States, is the financial magnate who underwrote the Roosevelt primary contest for the Republican Presidential nomination, and today is the good "angel" of the Roosevelt party, derives much of his revenue from insanitary factories where women are swated to death. We ask, is this progress? The nominee of the Progressive party, once said: "all men up"—today he says virtually: "all white men up, and all black men in the South down." He has laid violent hands on a national tradition of which has been sacredly guarded and preserved since the close of the 18th century. He has laid violent hands on the 15th Amendment, enacted in a period of great national stress and affliction—enacted at a time when this nation realized the enormity of the offenses practiced against black men and women, and today justifies the infamy of the South in its violation. He turned upon President Taft like a wild cat, biting and spitting and clawing. He turned upon every distinguished national character who refused to dishonor himself, by following his assault upon the judiciary, and today leads the army of discontent, in its warfare against the established Constitutional order. We ask, is this progress? NEWLANDS. It is a mistake sometimes when a poor white man is either elected to the Senate or the House of Representatives. There is only one way for a poor white man to distinguish himself and that is by abusing the Negro race. It is the obscure white man who comes to the Senate or House of Representatives unknown. He has a record to make. He wants to convince his constituents that he is the IT in the halls of Congress. He must have a hobby, and that hobby is the Negro. Every old Southern cracker that is sent to Congress from the South takes the Negro as his text Who is Francis Griffith Newlands? He is a Democrat, of Reno, but not born there. He was born in Natchez, Miss., a cracker State, where Negroes have been butchered by the wholesale. What more can you expect from a poor white man who was born in Mississippi? His biography in the Congressional Record doesn't show any brilliant acts. All that it shows is that he went to Yale College, Columbia University Law School, and was admitted to the bar of the Supreme Court. He went to Nevada, ran for Congress, was elected, and was subsequently elected to the Senate where he has been. From the time he entered the 53d Congress and continued through the 57th, he was not known. He didn't think of the Negro Hobby, because if he had some one would have remembered him being in Congress. The people of Nevada are tired of Newlands, because he has done nothing, and The Bee is of the opinion that the people of Nevada are too sensible to follow Newlands in tirade against the American Negro. The meanest Negro in the United States is better than Newlands, because he is too honorable to want to disfranchise any man on account of his color or condition. The common Negro will not be guilty of doing dirty acts. He has a touch of human kindness in his soul. No Negro, no matter how vicious he is, will not be guilty of acts to deprive his fellow man of his liberty or citizenship. Newlands' occupation, like Ben Tillman's, is almost gone. In a very few years Newlands will be numbered with the "has beens." The Negro is not disturbed; he will arise above the assaults of Newlands. Tillman, Vardaman and others. SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERSHIP. There is a lively scramble on for the vacant membership in the school board, caused by W. L. Houston's ineligibility to serve. Some of the men who are candidates are worthy of consideration, and some ought not be considered at all. The colored man selected, by the Supreme Court judges, ought to be a man who has not a long line of sisters, cousins and aunts not connected with the schools as teachers The selection of one who has relatives teaching, would prompt, sooner or later, the cry of favoritism, whether rightly or wrongly. And no colored man should be selected who has a white wife. We have our opinion of the colored man who prefers a white woman for a wife to a colored woman, but our personal and private opinion has no bearing in this case. There is no accounting for tastes, and if a colored man selects a white woman for a wife, be she as pure as the white driven snow, or as vile as the queen of the Paris Appaches, makes his own bed, suits his own tastes, and appeases his own desires, and the public has nothing to do with his private affairs. But a colored man with a white wife, who aspires to some position that necessarily makes him a representative of the colored race, and a conservator of that race's interests is seriously handicapped. He, really, neither represents the whites nor the blacks. He becomes a nondescript, a sort of man without a country. How can a man who goes over on the other side to choose his wife, an act which, in effect, brands colored women as not fit for him, consistently represents the race whom he thus, in effect, ignores and spurts? We hope that the Supreme Court judges will most carefully consider the applicants for school board member, and select only the one who is in every way qualified, and who is clearly unmistakably a representative of the race. We grant every man the right to select his life's partner, but we reserve the right to ask that only consistent race men represent the race in positions presumed to be reserved for some member of the race. NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE. The fourteenth annual meeting, at Chicago the past week, of the National Negro Men's Business League was one of the most successful and inspiring ever held. Dr. Booker T. Washington was reelected president, without opposition—unanimously—for the fourteenth consecutive time. He conceived the idea of forming such an organization. He vitalized the business spirit among Negroes of this country. Directly, and indirectly, the great tendency now among Negroes to engage in business due to Dr. Washington. And if the earnestness that characterizes his efforts to make Negro business men and build up Negro business enterprises is but only half emulated the next decade will chronicle many millions of dollars invested by the race in business will chronicle an amazing success and will make business openings more to be sought for than political openings. If every State and every community had its Booker T. Washington there would be little or no time for crying over a race problem—there would be no problem. TEDDY ON THE DEFENSIVE. It appears that Col. Roosevelt has been put on the defensive. Strenuously aggressive, he struck an obstacle that interrupted his advance. His indefensible utterance and action repeating Southern Negro delegates to his hand-picked delegate convention forced the Negroes of the country to place him on the defensive, and he has made a mighty poor defense up to date. Then Senator Penrose, bottled up and cornered, has made the hero of Chicago get out on another defensive plank. Senator Penrose may not succeed in tarring the Colonel with the same stick he is alleged to be tarred with, but at least he has caused the Oyster Bay statesman a deal of explaining, and sowed seeds of doubt in many as to the Colonel being the purist he would have us believe he is. NEGROES RECEDE. As will be seen elsewhere in The Bee, excerpts from the leading journals from the West and North the entire colored, Northern, Eastern and Western voters have repudiated Col. Roosevelt. The Bee has been satisfied all the time that Col. Roosevelt has been against the Negro. Now that he has uttered from his own lips that he doesn't want the Negro, they will now Believe it. He would, however, accept the Northern Negro for his selfish motives, and in the South where the Negro is disfranchised, he is not wanted. The race will learn sense after awhile. ANONYMOUS WRITERS. Point out an anonymous writer and The Bee will point out a blackleg, a thief and a burglar. All anonymous writers belong to the above class. Honest men never fear this class of individuals. The National Negro Business Men's League counts that meeting lost that does not produce a new Negro millionaire. At the meeting held, last week, a Massachusetts man comes forward who started in the real estate business on fifteen cents and is now worth a half million. And the stories of Alladin's Lamp pale into utter insignificance. Mothers who have immature girls in school are warned to keep a very watchful eye over them. And teachers owe it to the rest of their pupils to see that either boy or girl whose morals are a reproach are reported and dismissed. Better make an example of one than to permit corruption of many. The Negro Democrats will find the record of the present Democratic House of Representatives a splendid campaign book to show why no Negro can support that party without becoming a traitor to his race. And it can be set down as a self-evident fact that the Negro who espouses the cause of the Democratic party does so for money, and not to carry out a principle or to better his race. One. Reverend—God save the mark—Simon Peter Drew has a fashion of announcing meetings he personally conceives and manages, and announcing as speakers prominent men who have never given their consent, and who have no thought of appearing. He has also published himself as the promoter and head of some great organization, national in scope, that will soon hold a meeting to decide whom they will support for President. Rev. Drew has his hands full to properly perform his duties as pastor. The public should not take seriously Mr. Drew, for his influence is, as far as voters are concerned, limited to nobody. Rev. Drew will please go way back and sit down, and maintain silence from this on. This is a warning he had better heed. WICKERSHAM'S VICTORY. The entire colored race in this country is indebted to Attorney General Wickersham for the splendid and successful fight he waged for Assistant Attorney General Lewis in the American Bar Association. Never for one moment did Mr. Wickersham lag in his interest in this contest that meant justice for the race. With the entire membership from the South, including Don. M. Dickinson, arraveled against Mr. Lewis' retention as a member of the association, and determined to sustain the committee in its illegal usurpation of power to oust him, Mr. Wickersham won his case. The race is placed under obligations to Mr. Wickersham, and it is placed under new obligations to President Taft, a member of whose Cabinet Mr. Wickersham is. It is impossible to estimate the indirect benefit, to the race, that must result from this victory. And it is impossible to adequately thank Mr. Wickersham for his courageous fight in behalf of Mr. Lewis. But George Wickersham is one of those men full of the red blood who counts no costs when a principle needs a champion, and when a deserving, capable citizen and public official needs defense against such as aim to rob him of his just rights. And race discrimination is perfectly foreign to the Attorney General, who regards a man as a man, whether white or black. The Bee joins with, and voices the sentiment of the entire race in thankking the Attorney General. DR. JAMES E. SHEPARD. His Recent Visit North—Several Successful Meetings. Dr James E. Shepard's recent tour in the North was one of the most successful that he has ever taken for a number of years. Three of the meetings that were addressed by Dr. Shepard were the largest that he has ever addressed since his return from the Pacific coast: The Fall and Winter term of the National Religious Training School will open under successful auspices. The enrollment this year is larger than it has ever been since the opening of the school. WANTED-BOYS Boys who want to earn money should call at The Bee office every Friday afternoon and secure The Bee and sell it to the people. More money is earned from selling The Bee than from any other paper in the city. PublicMen And Things (By the Sage of the Potomac.) I see some of the ministers throughout the country are hurling all kinds of anathemetisms against the style of dress now in vague among the fifth rib contingent. Up to date I haven't heard that any of our teekwood complexion gospel expounders have thrown their chicken-fed forms across the path of dress reform. I can't say that I am in sympathy with all the soft talk about the dear women's dresses. Now and then I see a mauve colored fifth rib moving down You street like a load of hay, with a form that is a next-door neighbor to the late and lamented Rev. Lee, wearing a dress that is tight enough to be close-fitting on even Willie Wilkinson. When I see such exhibits, I sort of, wish that the e-tight fitting hobble skirts were out of style. But when a chic creature, with the form and agile movements, and a sort of Midway Plaisance walk comes down the Avenue de Nig wearing a hobble skirt that catches her about half way between a silk hose encased knee and a pair of high-heeled pumps, and fitting her so close that you can see every movement as plain as you can see the Washington monument. I must admit I wish I had a couple pair of eyes as good as John Dancy's. Now we delight in viewing art unadorned—beautiful bits of sculpturing like Venice de Millo, and we delight in going to the Corcoran Art Gallery and spending an hour or two in front of a nude masterpiece, but when the real thing moves out into the avenue, with a tight-titting gown of some diaphanus material, and only a gauze lingerie underneath, some of these ministers underneath, some of these hands and screech. If you remove these tight skirted, hobble-skirted fifth rib off of You street, there would not be enough women to make that a thoroughfare to keep up the cigar trade and cigar stands. And women like to wear these close clinging substitutes for a dress. And as long as they like them, and as long as ninety-nine and nineteenth of the men are willing to pay for them, these preachers might as well hit some other trail. The only thing I draw the line on, and I am not overly squeenish about it either, are these low-cut dresses. I do think decent women have no right to display four-fifths of their bust. And I see more girls, in their teens, parading down You street with middy blouses, and sailor waists showing all of their shoulders, all of their necks, and then some. Mothers ought to get a hunch on them-selves and stop it. It may be all right for the callow youths, and the rubberneckes, but for same old sages like myself, Rev. Norman, Rev. Simon Peter, Rev. Anson Taylor and a few other putitanical cusses who just dote on demure modesty and sweet simplicity, and fine-tooth morals we seriously object. Lets have a dress reform movement, and if so, I move, if Rey, S. N. Brown will see end the motion, that we have a colored dress censor committee composed of the above-named. * * I was down to the police court the other day, and found the colored member of the bar—legal bar—all torn up over this talk about "cappers." Knowing many of these dark-hued practitioners as I do, I opine—"opine" is a dandy word—that there is no bottom whatever to the acquisition, or at least if they begin to investigate they would fail to find a bottom. Now just imagine some of our leading colored lawyers who have a practice that amounts to two or three million dollars a year employing a "capper"? Why, the idea is preposterous. Did you ever see a "capper" around the police court? Could you swear you saw him, after you saw him? Why sure not. There are about twenty-five colored lawyers here, and not one of them makes more—mark you I say "more"—than two million a year. Why I would just as soon believe that the Standard Oil Company did not contribute to campaign funds as to think some of our colored lawyers employed "cappers." What do they need cappers for? What use is a caper? Don't all answer at once. Well, Roscoe Bruce tells me that he has spent a rather quiet summer, and a comparatively peaceful summer. I met him at the lawn tennis court the other evening when he was in a sweat, and Roscoe sure can perspire a few drops. I asked him a number of questions about school affairs, about Horner, and the probable next member of the school board, but he gave me about as much satisfaction as a howling Deverish gives a sick man. Did it ever occur to you that Roscoe Bruce can answer a question in such a manner that you feel perfectly satisfied when he answers you, but after four minutes, reflection you discover you have been handed a lemon? If Roscoe ever breaks into the diplomatic corps he will make us forget that old Wu ever represented China in this country. Roscoe admits, by an enciphered nod, that Horner gave him an awful scare when the board held its last meeting, and he will give you the impression that he is wondering what will be the next move of the Warrenton, Va., recruit to the Washington trouble makers, but you can't tell by the way he smiles, walks or talks that he is really concerned or worried. He sports a countenance that is as sun-rimmed as ever. The modulation of his voice remains prime, and his obeisance is just as clever, and his courtesy just as Bruceistic as ever. If I had gone through all this "only son of his mother" has gone through in the last two years I would be in a padded cell out there in St. Elizabeth, mumbling words even the Baha adorationists couldn't understand. For the past three years, Horner has started a fire under him every five days. During the days between, Old Bear Cat was making a few bon fires, and then to cap the climax the wife of that great political factor, Willie Harris, got on the board and began to stick pins, figuratively, in the human pin cushion, Little Lord Fauntleroy. And then Dan Murray, Napo- leon's wrongly named namesake, and Jinx Lacy, commonly known as Sam, organized a mutual aid society to sprinkle red pepper in Roscoe's path. Not believing this enough, Jackson, Shipen, Bassett and "Recalled from Opecquin" Jennifer formed a quadruple alliance and held frequent sessions to plan the overthrow of the Bruce dynasty. But Roscoe just smiled, like an Ajax defying the lightning, cooled a dove, looked pleasant and let them throw balls at him for the cigars. Now after a fellow has stood all he has stood for three years, and fails to show any signs of insanity, Carnegie ought to hurry over one of his hero medals, and the opposing army of tabloid statesmen and insurrectors ought to retire across the river and let him have at least a furlough of a year for rest and recuperation. Of course, since "the turn of recent affairs." Jennifer is saying his rosary, Shipen is writing his confession of faith. Baset is meditating over the words, "out or in, which am I?" and Jackson is cultivating his fellow alumnus, conciliator and peacemaker, the Honorable Football Lewis. But they are saying, in deluct tones, around in social gatherings, barber shops, and cigar emporiums that some of Roscoe's tormentors are about as nervous now as he has been all the while, and that Roscoe himself has got a little more confidence in the truth of the saying that every cloud has its silver lining. But believe me that boy that the late B. K. Bruce left as a ward of the public has gone through enough in the past two years to make him a star boarder at St. Elizabeth. And the wonder of it all, the mule lives without kicking back. The Same Idea. It is recorded that Napoleon, when asked to summarize the art of war, answered briefly. "The art of war consists in being strongest at a given point at a given time." This answer was terse and true, but that born but untaught fighter, General Forrest, expressed the same idea, yet more briefly and forcefully. When the grim old Confederate was asked how to win in battle he replied. "Get that fust with the mostest men." Her First Thought. Ella—What a dreamer she is! Stella—I should say so! When I told her about an accident in which a poor fellow lost both of his legs she said that that was too bad, as he would not be able to leave any footprints on the sands of time—Judge. The Difference. The Difference. "So Jack's going to marry her! Why, she's a mere nobody, and his grandfather came over with the Mayflower." "That's nothing. Hers came over with $100,000."—Philadelphia Record. Cruel. Mrs. Benham — Do you remember that I gave you no decided answer the first time you proposed? Benham-I remember that you suspended sentence.-Judge. Mme. Bessie L. Carttier's Tribute to the Mystic Shriners.

Fairfax St.) The forty-third annual session of the Virginia Baptist State Sunday School Convention and the seventh annual session of the State B. Y. P. U. convened at Alfred Street Baptist Church Wednesday evening, with R. E. Clay presiding. The address of welcome in behalf of the B. Y. P. U. was made by Mr. S. A.

Alexander Truatt, in behalf of the Sunday Schools by Edw. P. Dixon, Jr., in behalf of the homes by Mrs. Lillian Gray. Responses were made respectively by Rev. John Curtis, Rev. W. T. Askew and Mrs. Ada Lewis. Each meeting was opened with an appropriate song service, which was tastefully accompanied by the young Sunday school cornettist, Master Ingersol Johnson. The convention adjourned Sunday night after a most pleasant and profitable session. The delegates comprised quite a number of well known men and women of the State, notably Dr. D. Webster Davis, Rev. L. A. Perkins, Hon. T. C. Walker, Geo. B. Moore, of Norfolk, E. C. Moorman, of the firm of Morris & Moorman, Danville, Va., and a host of others. The parents' meeting at the Alfred Street Baptist Church on last Sunday afternoon was well attended, and much interest manifested. The meeting was arranged at that time because so much able talent and so many well known educators, who were in attendance at the Sunday Schoon Convention, were available. Mr. E. P. Dixon, Jr., secured the services of Hon. T. C. Walker, Miss Virginia Randolph, Nelson Williams, Jr., and D. G. Jacox, each of whom addressed the meeting in a most interesting and inspiring manner.

Douglass for a few days last week at "Anne Arundel on the Bay." It has been my pleasure to visit many summer resorts on sea shores, and will say, in my opinion, Arundel is second to none. It has a delightful bathing beach, plenty salt water, crabbing, boating and fishing. In fact, nature has so beautifully supplied both the water and soil until the cost of living is reduced to a minimum. The round trip fare from Washington by the electric cars is $1.50, taking one through ancient Annapolis, where can be seen the great United States Naval Academy and many large warships, and the old State House where George Washington resigned his commission as commander in chief of the army. I was shown through a room in Maj. Douglass' cottage which was first occupied by ND FOR MEN AND WOMEN TRAINED IN ALL THE TRADES AT TUSUPPLY. AL AND REAL; IT IS CLOSE TO REALITIES.

WASHINGTON, PRIN the illustrious Frederick Douglass, the Major's father. This room is indeed cheerful and pleasant. Maj. and Mrs. Douglass were the pioneers in opening up this resort, and are very ambitions to see it broaden and develop until it becomes a "haven of rest" for the colored people. Many cottages have already been erected there, among them might be mentioned, as owners, Drs. J. R. Francis, A. M. Curtis; Messrs. Moreland, secretary of the Y. M. C. C. Colbert, a well known business man of Washington, J. H. Douglass, the violinist, Prof. Lewis, Mr. Bowen, of Baltimore, and some others. Maj. Douglass purchased twenty-six acres some years ago, which he divided into building lots to be sold at prices ranging from $250 to $350 each, on terms of from $25 to $35 cash, and balance at $10 per month. It struck one that it would be a grand thing for the colored people throughout the United States to avail themselves of this grand chance by building cottages where they and their children could go and enjoy nature in all her effulgence in an atmosphere pure and healthy, and among the very best surroundings Information as to obtaining a summer home there, will be cheerfully given by the writer. I would not close this letter without a word about Prof. Haley Douglass. He took me out several miles in his yacht. He is an expert on a boat, and he has an excellent one Yours very truly. L.

Two Americans are reported to have been deliberately murdered in the massacre of the Nicaraguan loyal troops by the rebels at Leon on Aug. 19. One was said to be Harvey Dodd, of Kosciusko, Miss., the other man named Phillips. Dodd and Phillips are said to have been fighting with the government troops. In the defeat, they were taken to a hospital badly wounded, where they were killed in the massacre which followed. Word was received from Jackson, Miss., that Dodd, the son of S. L. Dodd, of Kosciusko, a prominent lawyer, was thirty-five years old. The killing of Dodd and Phillips, though not entirely a parallel recalls the killing of Cannon and Groce by Zelaya in 1909, which resulted in an upheaval that threw the dictator out office and sent him to European exile. The state department is pressing for more information. One Big Battleship Outcome of Fight. Conferences on the naval appropriation bill agreed to provide for one battleship at a cost not greater than $15,000,000, and the conference report was adopted by the senate. An appropriation of $2,535,000 is to be available for the beginning of the work. No agreement was reached as to size, dimensions or armament. The naval bill in other respects was adopted as approved by the previous conference, and is now acceptable to house and senate. The bill also provides for eight submarines. During negotiations between the house and senate that number was once cut to four. The original number will now be provided. This year's building program also will include six torpedoboats, two collers and one machine ship. Never Kissed His Wife. Because he had never been kissed by a girl and did not want to begin at his time of life, John J. Gallagher, of East Penn street, Norristown, was sent to jail for thirty days. He was arraigned before Justice O. F. Lenhardt, charged by his wife with assault and battery. From the testimony of the couple it looked to the magistrate as a case of six of one one and a half dozen of the other, so he advised them to "kiss and make up." "Met, not me," exclaimed Gallagher. "Why, I never kissed a girl in my life, and I won't begin now." "Well, the only thing for me to do is to fine you then," said the justice. As Gallagher could not produce the necessary money, he was sent to jail. Killed by Fall From Pier. John McCartney, fifty years old, employed on the new pier being built at New Jersey avenue, Atlantic City, N. J., was almost instantly killed when he dived from the outer end of the partly completed structure. He landed in shallow water, breaking his neck. Thomas Haley, of Philadelphia, another member of the gang of workmen, saw McCartney sink from sight in the turbulent sea and remain under. He jumped to the rescue and badly fractured both legs. All Escape Except the Cat. Lightning played a peculiar prank at the home of Michael Pulash in Wilkes-Barre, Pa. Ten persons were seated in the front room of the house when a bolt of lightning entered the front door and danced about the room. Paper on the wall was burned, and the family cat, which was in the centre of the room, was killed. Not one of the ten persons received even a shock. Steals $1000, Sending $100 Back. Steals $1000, Sending $100 Back. Nearly $1000, mostly in currency and the rost in checks, was filched from the office of the Detroit & Cleveland Navigation company office at Toledo, O., in a hold daylight robbery. An hour later the robber returned $100 to the company through a third person. Lehigh Valley Forbids Use of Liquor. Following the Lackawanna, the Lehigh Valley management has issued orders that the company will not tolerate trainmen or enginemen who use intoxicating liquors. The Papuans have no metals and no pottery. "The people at Partunau have a small piece of iron about the size of a chisel, used for carving their canoes and paddles, for which the enormous price of three dogs had been paid, so they informed us, to the people of Wakatinki," says A. F. R. Wollaston in his "Pygmies and Papuans." The Papuan dogs, by the way, never bark, "but they make up for this defect by their extraordinary power of howling" as if carried away by an ecstasy of sorrow. The Tapiro pygmies carry their knives, the flint implements of prehistoric man, in a skillfully netted bag worked in a figure of eight stitch and use the sharp flakes not only for cutting purposes, but for scraping down the wood of their bows and for pointing and ornamenting their arrows. They carry about with them also a sleeping mat fabricated by a woman out of pandanus leaves, some tobacco, which they smoke in a cylinder of bamboo, and their apparatus for fire making—the split stick, the colled rattan and the tinder. Caught at Last. To bring about the victory of good over evil has been assumed to be the especial aim of saints and sages, but savages. It seems, may sometimes be militant in the same cause. In his book, "The White Waterfall," Mr James Francis Dwyer relates the story of a missionary who preached to a tribe of blacks in northern Queensland and told them in simple language of Adam and Eve and their expulsion from the Garden of Eden. The episode of the serpent much excited the converts, and when the missionary arrived at the blacks' camp on the following day the natives had collected half a hundred or more snakes, which they brought out for the good man's inspection. "But why do you want me to examine them?" asked the parson, puzzled. The chief of the tribe winked knowingly. "You tell 'em if old snake here that mak 'em plenty trouble, Mr. Adam," he said, grinning. "We think 'em you find dat old feller with this lot." On Slender Bases. Sir Herbert Tree, the amount of whose correspondence is doubtless overwhelming, has been the recipient. It is said, of some extraordinary letters. From them three samples are selected for quotation, each from a member of the fair sex. The first runs: "Dear Sir Herbert—I don't know you, but I have four girls from Switzerland home for the holidays. It would be a great treat if they could see your play. But that would be rather expensive. Will you please send us five stalls? I hope you won't think this is very bare faced." The second lady wrote, "Although I am a stranger to you, it would be so helpful if you would send me £2 12s. Gd." The third lady asked for a couple of stalls and on being invited to say why she made the claim seut what she evidently thought to be an all sufficient reason "My father," she wrote, "knew Charles Dickens!" Ancient Tricks. The arts of jugglery were, as has been proved by learned writers, of high antiquity. The Hirpini, who lived near Rome, jumped through burning coals; women in early times were accustomed to walk over burning coals in Cappadocia, and the exhibition of balls and cups is often mentioned in the works of the ancients. It was as far back as the third century that one Fermus, or Firmlus, who endeavored to make himself emperor in Egypt, suffered a smith to forge iron on an anvil placed on his breast, and rope dancers with balancing poles are mentioned by Petronius and others, while the various feats of horsemanship exhibited in our circuses passed in the nineteenth century, from Egypt to the Byzantine court and thence over all Europe. "Journal" and "Journey." Strictly speaking a "journal" should be a daily publication, although the word no longer has that limited use. The case of "journey" is exactly comparable. Even to Chaucer it still meant a day's progress, and in the fourteenth century it was possible to speak of one country as being "fifty two journeys" distant from another, a "journey" being reckoned usually as twenty miles. But "journey" calls up no suggestion whatever of a day now. Conclusive. Insurance Solicitor—Well, doctor, have you examined this new claimant? Doctor-No. I haven't thought it necessary.

An American physician says that while in England he saw a vaulted tomb in a London cemetery which had the following inscription engraved on the door: "Dr. John Gardner's Last and Best Bedroom." Encourage the Child. One of the most discouraging things you can say to a child or youth is to call him a good-for-nothing, a nobody, or to tell him that he will never be or any use.

A certain young man of tender heart has lost his faith in mankind. Some years ago he did a favor for a friend, who, to show his appreciation, presented him with a pipe of meerschaum persuasion, wonderfully and marvelously wrought and bearing date of a hundred years before. The young man treasured this pipe, which was to him a masterpiece. And whenever the blue smoke curled upward from its bowl his heart swelled with the thought of the generosity and goodness of the human race, for he had been told when the pipe was handed to him that a pawnbroker would advance $3 on it, thus proving it to be worth at least a ten spot. Doing favors, he thought, surely furnished recompense. And then one day he broke the stem. He took it to a tobaccoist, with whom he was well acquainted, and asked to have it mended. "It's such a treasure," he explained. "Notice the work on it and the date." The tobaccoist smiled, "My boy," he remarked, "they turn these out by the barrel and sell them for 10 cents."—New York Tribune. The Jade Jokai Loved. Of one phase of his life Jokal, the Hungarian novelist, wrote in disgust: "Well, confess it I must. I have a sweetheart, for whose sake I have been faithless not only to my wife, but to my muse also—a sweetheart who has appropriated my best ideas and whose slave I was and still am. Often have I wasted half my fortune upon her and rushed blindly into misfortune to please her. For her sake I have patiently endured insult, ridicule and reprobation; for her sake I have staked life and liberty. Now, if she had been a pretty young; damsel there might have been some excuse for me, but she was a nasty, old, painted figurehead of a beldame, a dirting, faithless, fickle, foul mouthed, scandal mongering old ilar, whom the whole world courts, who makes fools of all her wooers and changes her lovers as often as she changes her dress. Her name is Politics, and may the plague take her!" Live Stock Markets PITTSBURGH (Union Stock Yards) —CATTLE steady; choice, $9.25@9.50; prime, $8.65@9.10.

Chicago, Ill.—No time in the history of Chicago were the people so active in preparing to entertain visitors as they are now getting ready for the National Negro Business League, which is to meet in the city next month. Two thousand people are expected in the city during the session, and among them will be some of the leading men and women of the United States, representing every line of profession, trade or business in the country. Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio District of Columbia, and Indiana will send up large delegations and there is no end to the letters which have been received by Secretary Will Ham D. Neighbors from all parts of the South. A large number of Knights and Daughters of Labor will visit Chicago, taking advantage of the summer tourist ticket, attend the Business League, and leave Sunday night for Louisville, Ky. This will give them a splendid opportunity to visit Chicago. President Dr. G. Hall of the local league announces that they are ready for 2000 visitors. The sessions will be held in the Seventh Regiment armory, Thirty-fourth street and Wentworth avenue. The social features arranged will appeal to all. There is arranged a boat ride on Lake Michigan, and August 22 an automobile ride is planned which ing the large commercial houses, the will be a tour through the city, visit-packing plant, the parks and boulevards. The much-talked-of home of Jack Johnson will be passed on the tour through the city. The banquet and reception Friday night, the 23rd, will excel anything yet in the history of the League. The Chicago people are going to demonstrate to the visitors that they know how to do things. Dr. W. E.

Concerning a region in Tibet an authority says: "The only satisfactory feature about the people's condition was their fine physique and their agreeable, cheery disposition under the most depressing conditions. Their superior stature and build are accounted for partly by the fact that the day after their children are born their mothers carry them to the nearest stream and plunge them into the water, even in the depth of winter, when the temperature is often down to 15 or 20 degrees below zero. Infants which survive this heroic ordeal are then smeared thickly all over with grease and exposed for several hours every day of their young lives in the open air, so that they may grow up strong and hardy and fit to defy all weathers, which the majority of them are certainly well able to do." Old Time Election Laws Old Time Election Law American electors were at one time required to possess very high qualifications. In parts of New England during the seventeenth century voters had to reside in "a stone house of the dimensions of twenty feet by sixteen with on or more brick or stone chimney or chimneys." Each voter had also to be certified by his neighbors "of sober and peaceable conversation." In Connecticut every candidate for the local assembly had to furnish a certificate from the selectmen of the town where he resided that he was "of quiet and peaceable behavior and civil conversation." That the selectmen might exercise due care in signing such certificates they were liable to a fine of $25 in case the candidate turned out otherwise than was represented. Era of the Olympiads. The "era of the Olympians," or the "Olympian era," began July 1. 770 B.C. An Olympiad was a period of four years, the games being celebrated every fourth year. When it was first proposed to use the Olympian era the earliest record that could be found was that of the victory of Choronis, who won the great foot race long before horse racing and chariot racing were introduced. His victory was taken as the starting point of the Olympians. A. Courageous Physician. A Courageous Procedure Doctor—Mrs. Knagg, your husband needs six months' rest.

GENERAL BOOTH DIES IN LONDON Founder cf Salvation Army Succumbs to Long Illness. WAS 83 YEARS OF AGE Started Crusade to Save Souls Forty- Five Years Ago in Slums of London and Movement is Still Progressing. General William Booth, founder and commander-in-chief of the Salvation Army, died in London. General Booth, who was eighty-three years old, had been seriously ill for several months. His condition was so serious that the end was expected. He had been un- conscious for some hours. He had been falling since last May when an operation for cataract was performed on his left eye. William Booth was born in Nottingham, Eng., April 10, 1829. His father was a carpenter, who had little but a consuming religious seal to support him in the world. By dint of much economy the carpenter managed to give his son a half education, and to send him to a private theological tutor for preparation in the Methodist ministry. At twenty-three the young man took his first church, a small chapel in Nottingham, During his travels over England on preaching tour the minister met Catherine Mumford, and after a long engagement they were married in 1858. The Rev. Mrs. Booth was in many ways a remarkable woman. She had the same regious feeling as her husband, the same instinct for organization, and a strong appealing quality in her personality, which later served to attract the people of the slums of London to her. Before 1878, when the Salvation Army had its inception, Booth had learned the blitteress of the work that he had selected for himself. Probably the blitterest moments that the indomitable evangelist was ever made to feel followed the first marchings of this attered Christian army of regenerated souls through the streets of Whitechapel. It was a holiday for the masses whenever a little band strangled out of their tabernacle and marched behind their weeding instruments. Everything that lent itself to hurling was hurled, and in many cases the police sided with the roughs and arrested the Salvationists for obstructing the highways. Then when noise of this sensational evangelisting reached the ears of the clergy of the West End congregations they arose in wrath, and denounced the "vulgar sensationalism" and the irreverent trumpery" of this Salvation Army. Latest statistics show that the army has 8973 corps in the fifty-six countries of both hemispheres, with about 21,000 officers and employees, and millions of members. Records of the army show that annually it houses 6,000,000 persons, and feeds 12,000,000. With the growth of the Salvation Army came the development of its "general's" insistence upon a despotism more military than any other attribute of the army. Through that very insistence rose the breach between himself and his son, Ballington, which resulted in the establishment of the independent body known as the Volunteers of America. Probably this break was the greatest grief that was ever visited upon the veteran evangelist. In 1006 General Booth peremptorily called Ballington Booth from his command in America, and later sent Eva, his daughter, over here, to relieve the rehelical son of his command. Instead of obeying his father's command to give up his post in America and return to England, General Ballington Booth seceded from the army in the spring of 1906, and with the financial backing of several wealthy men in New York and the support of many of the former loyal Salvationists he started the, Volunteers of America. He did not see his father from the time of his secession to the day of General Booth's death, nor was there any communication between them. --- Dog Gives Birth to Kittens. Ensconced in an old soap box in a little down town home in Philadelphia, and carefully nursed and being watched over by an anxious young mother are living refutations of the science of the ages—a confounding of students of natural history. Science always has pooh-poohed the possibility of the cross-breeding of genera. There have been many cases cited, but none authenticated, of animals of different genera producing young. It has remained for a dog belonging to Jacob Goldsteln, 1335 South Tenth street, to give the laugh to science by mothering four hybrid animals which have many of the most familiar earmarks of kittens. Curious persons who called at the house to see the little creatures found that one had died, but that the other three and the mother were "doing alcely, thank you." "Tootsy," the young mother, is inordinately proud and jealous of her first family. She is a medium sized yellow dog of no distinct breed. The animals are about as large as small rats. Their bodies are uniformly like kittens, but their tails are decidedly alkin to Tootsey's own. The faces of three are distinctly kittenish; the dead one more resembles a dog in the face. But all four have the four-toed paw of a dog, with the needle-like claws of a cat and the cat's power to protrude and with draw them. Add to all this the fact that they have a cat's ears and a cat's fur and —wonder of wonders—that they "meow" misearably like any young back-fence yowler, and the visitor can only stare in bewilderment. Three Election Crooks Jailed. Jail sentence., with the addition of fines in each case, were imposed upon three election officials convicted of making fraudulent returns at the primaries in Baltimore, Md., in August of last year. John Wagner was sentenced to two years and six months and fined $500 Albert A. Cochran, two years and $500 fine. Reuben D. Smith, one year and $500. All three were election judges. In imposing sentence Judge Elliott censured the prisoners for the crime they had committed against the voters, and denounced the jury before whom they had been tried for not finding them guilty of wilful neglect and connivance, which would have permitted him to send them to the penitentiary for long periods. Some 250 other election officials, Republicans and Democrats, are under indictment for alleged frauds at the same primary. They are charged with making false returns of the results of the primary. Two Killed In Mine Blast. Harry Schrope, a miner, of Pine Grove, and William F. Moyer, a laborer, of Rock, were killed, and Edward Yoder, a laborer, of Elwood, was probably fatally injured by the premature explosion of a blast at the Lincoln colliery of the Philadelphia & Reading Coal and Iron company near Pottsville, Pa. They had just ignited a fuse in a drill hole and were standing by the charge when it went off before expected. Moyer was blown to pieces. Bramwell Booth Heads Salvation Army William Bramwell Booth, eldest son of General Wihiam Booth, commander-in-chief of the 'Salvation Army, who dled in London, has been appointed head of the army to succeed his father. This announcement was made at Salvation Army headquarters in New York after a cable message announcing the appointment had been receivel from London. Bramwell Booth has long been his father's right hand man. Splinter in Her Brain, but May Live. Although her brain is pierced by a silver, driven from the base of the skull to the bone above, physicians believe that Miss Florence Schiltz, aged eleighteen years, of Minneapolis, Minn., probably will recover. They say, also, that se may recover the use of the left arm and leg, paralyzed since being hurt in a runaway accident. Train Hits Auto: Three Killed Train Hits Auto; Three Killed. Three persons were killed and two perhaps fatally injured at Howard City, Mich., in a collision between an automobile and a freight train. The dead are Dr. F. W. Joslin, Big Rapids, Mich.; Mrs. F. W. Joslin and Howard Joslin, four-year-old son. Milford Smith was the only eye-witness who was not a trainman. Kills Himself in Street. A man believed to be A. W. Rogers, a wealthy scultizen of Jackson, Miss, committed suicide in front of a hotel at Broadway and Thirty-sixth street, New York, by shooting. He was accompanied by a woman, who gave the name of Frances Wellington. She was arrested. Will Succeed Hanford. President Taft sent to the senate the nomination of Clinton W. Howard, of Bellingham, Wash., to succeed Judge Cornellus H. Hanford as United States judge for the western district of Washington. Howard was supported by Senators Jones and Polindexter, of Washington. Chokes at Sauerkraut Meal. Sauerkrout and pork proved fatal to John Hartman, aged fifty years, of Reading, Pa., who tackled a dish of it at a resort on Mount Penn. A piece of pork lodged in his windpipe and he was strangled. The district attorney will investigate. Bridegroom Killed. Returning to work after spending his mooncow in Pittsburgh, James R. Freeborn, a brakeman, was killed instantly by a train on the Bessemer road near Albion two hours after he began work. He was married in Erle on Saturday to Miss Irene Garver.

The Senate passed the resolution to appropriate $400,000 for a memorial building in this city to commemorate the services of the loyal women in the civil war. The building is to be used as the permanent headquarters of the American Red Cross. The Government dismissed the prosecution of Jack Johnson, champion heavyweight pugilist, on charges of intimidating a Government witness in the smuggling indictment against him and his wife, Etta Johnson. Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, wife of the Democratic candidate for President, prepared a statement, denying reports that she approves the cigarette smoking by women. The paper confused the Governor's wife, with a cousin of hers, who approves of women smoking cigarettes. The Senate has adopted a conference report granting Mrs. Annie R. Schley, widow of the late Rear Ad- miral W. S. Schley, a pension of $100 per month. The baby of Russell Dailey, who was born two weeks ago, is the tiniest on record. He weighs thirteen ounces.

(From the Eagle, San Francisco, Cal.) The defeat of Mr. Roosevelt in California, as far as the Negro voter is concerned, is inevitable. "Mr. Roosevelt had made his notable contribution to our public life, and unluckily he did not seem to know that it does not need repeating. Other conditions and other duties are now come, and other men." A man's sins will discover him. Mr. Roosevelt has played his double game of politics with a great deal of satisfaction to himself and those who believed in him. Especially were the Negro voters of California and the West in favor of the re-election of Roosevelt. They had wholly forgotten the Brownsville grievance, or at least it had been overshadowed by his brilliant promises for the future. And it was not until last week at the Chicago Convention that the colored voter realized that he was about to be caught in the lion's jaw. Colonel Roosevelt has painted himself as the one big American who knows no race, color or condition, but the man; his sympathies have been with the working man. Now, if the Negroes of the South do not represent the working class, I would like for some one to tell me who they are. Since it is only the "lily white" vote of the South that Mr. Roosevelt wants, let it be only the "lily white" that he'll get from the North and West Let every Negro cherish his right of suffrage, and let the would-be office seeker know that he is a man of integrity, and that his vote is priceless. Teddy, poor Teddy; just to think, he has trumped his own trick! He has deviated so far from his original platform that it is hard to tell what he is—certainly you would not call it Progressiveness. Will Governor Woodrow Wilson solve the problem of Negro doubts and fears as to where he should cast his vote? Governor Wilson is a profound thinker and doer. He is not a braggart, neither is he a political carpet-bagger. As president of Princeton he wrote his name on the annals of history, as one of the leaders of new thought in education, and as the present Governor of New Jersey—one of the most progressive States in the Union—he is one of the leading statesmen of his time, and were it not for the party with which he is identified, we would give our overwhelming support to Wilson. But think, Mr. Afro-American, before you act, for after all, the president is only the small kite, with his great party tail swaying his every move. Keep up with affairs at Washington, and you will find that the Democratic party, as a rule, has strongly opposed every bill or act that had in it any degree of better treatment for the Afro-American. Now can we afford to retard our progress by voting the Democratic ticket? Don't "cut off your nose to spite your own face." You say that the old party has never kept its word. Well, we admit that we have not had a square deal from any party, and we are tired of promises made only to be broken. But don't forget, friend, that God has a hand in political affairs, and it may be true that even so now.
