Chicago, Ill., June 9, 16.—The agony is over and Mr. Justice Charles H. Hughes and ex-Vice President Fairbanks are the standard bearers of the republican party. This is the passing of ex-President Roosevelt and the colored politicians. Every opportunity was given to ex-President Roosevelt to square himself with the old guard—like the dog with a bone he lost the greatest opportunity of his political career. The battle for supremacy is great but the old guard won out. But where does the colored politician come in? He is a political nonentity. He is not consulted and neither had he any weight in the committee on resolutions. The representatives of the Southern delegation are weak. Many of them hung around the headquarters of the presidential candidates. If you go to the Congress Hotel you will see the Moose delegates and their rooters, hanging around the Roosevelt headquarters. There are two of them in this great hotel. They alternate to the Weeks' headquarters which is not over 15 feet apart. My friend, Picket, who is holding down the Weeks' combination, was a busy man keeping away the defeated delegates on the opposition ticket. He knows his business and his training is astute and diplomatic. Col Lincoln Johnson of Georgia went before the committee on credentials and argued his own case. His logic and eloquence were commendable. In one of his flights in reply to an ex-governor and banker of Georgia, Col. Johnson said: "Gentlemen of the Committee: I am not the son of a banker or the governor of Georgia, but the son of a slave, and I shall always be a republican." Col. Lyons and Col. Rucker he allied themselves with the opposition; but Col. Johnson was unanimously congratulated by the committee. The District of Columbia. The fight in the District of Columbia was the last one called. Frank J. Hogan argued his side, with Jim Cobb holding and carrying Hogan's briefs. He brought these, which looked to be about 500 after the decision of the committee was rendered against him. Judge Hayes argued for the Chase-Miller ticket, and Bradshaw had a Chicago lawyer to represent his delegation. Only fifteen minutes were allowed for the presentation of the District of Columbia fight, five minutes for each delegation. The Chase-Miller ticket had the fight won up to the time that Messrs, Langly of Kentucky and a New York Committeeman left the Credential Committee for super. At no time time was Bradshaw and Hogan in the lead. It was the fight of Mr. John W, Conner made that won the day. He is the coming republican in the District of Columbia. He is a master politician and a man of the highest integrity. Hogan and Williston feel severely their defeat. The Chase and Bradshaw forces combined and put the Moose ticket out of business. Jim Crowism. It is surprising to see so many Jim Crow Roosevelt headquarters. Similar conditions exist here as existed in the District of Columbia during the fight for delegate. The principal Jim Crow Roosevelt headquarters is on State street. You will find at each headquarters James H. Hayes, who attempted at areception to create sentiment for Roosevelt but was given a cool reception. The Southern delegates remained, to a great extent, to themselves on State street. Many of them, with the exception of the Georgia and Louisiana colored delegates, were nonentities. Just why the South continues to send such representatives is a mystery. They continue to look for the filthy lucre. Many white delegates are equally as bad, but to some extent the whites exercise a little more intelligence. I saw my good friend, James Madison Vance, of New Orleans, La.; Cohen of the same state. There was a time when the Louisiana politicians amounted to something. Col. Henry Johnson headed the most intelligent delegation from the South. Col. Johnson is fearless and independent. He knows no man by the color of his skin. Looking for it It is amusing to go in the lobby of the Congress Hotel and then go to the second floor. Opposite the headquarters of Senator Weeks you will see the colored statesmen of Washington. Looking to the east in the direction of Lake Michigan about ten feet away is the Fairbank's headquarters. Near your correspondent will be seen L. M. King, Jabez Lee, Jim Cobb, Dock Williston, Dr. C. H. Marshall, Dr. Cabannis, Goo. Wm. Cook, and a few other near statesmen, who have lost their occupation. Going down the hall and moving very mysteriously is Gill Christ Stewart, of New York, with his hand satchel. It could not be ascertained what Gill had, but, some one from New York stated that it was full, of goldless stock. Leaving the Congress hotel, standing at the southwest corner of Wabash avenue and Congress will be seen Charles W. Anderson, the big republican representative from New York, Bob Church of Tennessee. At the Coliseum entrance will be seen Tom Jones, J. Ortoway Holmes, who passes with a distinguished air. Mr. Holmes is a thoroughbred Washington politician. At the Kiser hotel, the headquarters of Joseph M. Triggs of Washington, D. C., is the companion of your correspondent, who knows everybody in Chicago. We just had the fun of our life, as our companion expresses himself. Speaking about entertainments, dinners and other functions, just let us state, there is not sufficient space to relate every event. Let us say that Dr. James E. Shepard and Professor Phegarson of Dunham, N. C., and E. A. Johnson formerly of North Carolina but not of New York city, occupied a sum of rooms at the Palmer House. Their rooms fronted, Wabash Ave. and are beyond all doubt, among the finest rooms in this great hotel which has been made famous on account of the many political hilarious events that have taken place there, especially in the campaign of the late James G. Blaine and John A. Logan. It was a dinner tendered to us that will be memorable. in years to come, because it is here where Roosevelt met terloo, and the city in which the Moose ticket met a wreck. Dr. Williston had an inclination that he would meet his last wreck. It came and poor Yorick is no more. He left home declaring that he would be seated. The suffragist Parade took place, notwithstanding the great rain and wind storm. Now, if you want to see female suffragists and the work they are doing, visit. Madame Earl T. Wilson. Mr. and Mrs. Earl T. Wilson are well situated at 3313 State street, and she is a suffragist from the heart. Mr. Joseph M. Trigg and Editor W. Calvin Chase, delegate at large from MRS. EARL T. WILSON, Chicago, Ill., Noted Suffragist, Who Entertained Mr. J. M. Trigg and Editor W. Calvin Chase—The Woman Who Fights. the District of Columbia, were entertained at a stag Friday night, June 9th. Among those present were Alderman Oscar De Priest, Major John R. Lynch, Messrs. Lawrence Lewis, Leonard Duckey, E. Franklin Monroe, Thomas Curreathers. Mrs. Wilson was assisted by Mrs. Hannum. At Breakfast. The most delightful breakfast was give in honor of Mr. J. M. Trigg of Washington and Editor W. Calvin Chase by Mesdame Ethel B. Triggs, Richard Rainy and M. Snell at their beautiful residence, 3555 Prairie ave. This is one of the finest residences in Chicago and no doubt the handsomest furnished one. These ladies are noted suffragists and admirers of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt. They are accomplished and very influential among the voters. The Menu Strawberries and cream, ice cantaloupe, fried smelts, tartar sauce, broiled spring chicken, breakfast bacon, wild rice croquettes, asparagus tips on toast, drawn butter, frozen tomatoes and lettuce hearts, mayonnaise dressing, coffee, tea, chocolate, mints. Other social functions tendered Messrs. Trigg and Chase were by Miss Ada Allen, 4629 Langley avenue. This young lady is one of the most progressive young ladies in the city. No one is more admired than Mrs. Fred Olden, 3145 Prairie avenue, who is also beautifully situated in one of the most desirable residential sections in the state. If you wish to enjoy real life this is the place. There is less prejudice here than in many of the western states. The colored people are doing well. Many of them are residing in their own houses in the best sections REV. CHAUNCEY L: WITHROW, PASTOR MT. VERNON M. E. CHURCH Capitol and West Virginia Ave. N. E., Washington, D. C. MT.

Mrs. Mary McGiven and her husband are doing a good business in 32d street. The colored business and professional men are in the lead. There are a number of Tennesseeans here who are ligging well. Mrs. Richard Rainey, Mrs. Ethel B. Triggs and Mrs. M. Snell are among the best known citizens and Roosevelt roots in Chicago. This is a house were Col. Roosevelt's showed may be seen against the world. These ladies are not, only suffragists, but very accomplished and entertaining. Louis B. Anderson, a former Washingtonian, is assistant corporation counsel, who is paid $5- 000 per annum. He is among the most competent lawyers in the state and very influential in politics. Mrs. Wilson, a suffragett advocate, speaks of him in the highest terms as a man of standing and influence among the people, white and colored. Among a few of the visitors seen here were: Thomas M. Gill, Sumpter, S. C.; E. Franklin Monroe, deputy bailiff, no doubt one of the most active negro democratic politicians in the city. His office is in the City Hall. He showed Messrs. Trigg and Chase special attention. Dr. J. W. Ames of Detroit, Michigan, Miss Zula C. Richardson, one of the leading trained nurses in the city; Wm. E. Cole of Detroit, Michigan; Miss Ruth C.

BOY SCOUTS. A donation of $11.00 was received from the Satterlee House committee to detray a part of the expense of our wireless station, now being installed. Scoutmaster John Randall carried his boys for a 12-mile hike. They reported a pleasant time. Here are some of the ways Boy Scouts earn money: Whitewashing cellars and back fences; cleaning back yards, beating carpets, trimming lawns, repairing fences, giving amateur plays, collecting and selling old papers, running errands, etc. On Tuesday evening 200 Boy Scouts took part in a "Flag Demonstration" by Mrs. Isabel Worrall Ball, under the auspices of the Bethel Literary Association. Wednesday was a day that will be long remembered in the District of Columbia. The necessity of our Boy Scouts having a drum corps of their own was, plainly demonstrated. We are anxious to start, our drum corps as soon as we have sufficient funds and we will let you know in the near future how you can aid us. The Scout movement helps a boy to have clean hands, clean words and clean thoughts and helps him stand for the hard fight against the easy wrong and saves him from habits that do harm. Boy Scouts rendered valuable services at the dedication of the of the swimming pool at the Howard playground on Thursday. The meeting was in charge of the Howard Citizen's Committee. Rev. D. E. Wiseman, president; Scoutmaster A. H. Underdown in charge. That Boy Scouts are serviceable was shown by the way they assisted the Pageant on Friday and Saturday. The hike scheduled, for last Saturday was postponed on account of the weather, but three Satterlee Scouts, Harry Carroll, Thomas Smith, Jesse Pierce and Scout George Bidgell of Troop No. braved the rains and were out all day. They reported at 6 o'clock that many places of interest had been visited and that they had had a very pleasant time. Scoutmaster Lee C. Brown and his troop No. 505 visited New Bethel Baptist Church last Sunday. They were extended a cordial welcome by the pastor, Rev. Wm. W. Jarvis, and congregation.

SCHOOL OF USEFUL ARTS Glives Fourth Graduating Exercises. On Friday evening, June 9, the New Bethel Baptist Church, corner of Ninth and S streets, was crowded with graduates and friends of the Inter-denominational School of Useful Arts to witness the fourth public graduating exercises. A very excellent program was rendered on which was a number of the faculty of John M. Langston School of Law, which is a part of the institution. Prof. L. Melendez King being in Chicago, Prof. Jessie Lawson delivered the address. Sylvester L. McLaurin, one of the instructors in the law department, in an address, told the graduates that their lives were for usefulness in the world. The graduating class was dressed in white and was seated on the rostrum. Many received diplomas for cooking, dress making, beauty-culture, typewriting and stenography. A very practical address was made by: Prof. Joseph H. Steward, a lawyer for 22 years at the local bar. Mr. Steward pointed out the importance of the colored lawyer; he said that there was about 60 colored lawyers in Washington and they were at all times interested in their clients, and always awake to the importance of getting his brother out of a tight place in which many of the white lawyers are famous to put them in A PROTEST. John D. Drake No negro should have taken a part in the preparedness parade which was held here on the 14th, for the plain reason that the colored people were discriminated against in that they were made the tail end of the procession, which is the most undesirable. Will the people in charge of promoting and arranging these public demonstrations from time to time, ever be actuated by a spirit of common justice and right toward all men regardless of race or color? I arouses to protest and shocks the sensibilities of any thoughtful negro and causes his spirit to revolt when he thinks of the fact that in civic activities he is always assigned to the rear, and in military operations he is assigned to the front. The Tenth Cavalry heading the punitive expedition in Mexico and the assignment of the colored people as the tail end of the preparedness parade which was held here on the 14th is but one of the many proofs and illustrations of what I say. The negro has ever been loyal to this country in peace and in war. The race has never produced a traitor. There is nothing hyphen about him. With an enthusiasm and patriotism unsuspecting he has answered every call to arms. He does not object to fighting in the front ranks for his country but he does object to being singled out, just because he is a negro, and given the tail end and most, undesirable places in civic affairs and patriotic demonstrations. In all things political and civic, the negro demands to be treated as an American citizen and not as an undesirable group. TURMOIL IN SCHOOL A TURMOIL IN THE THIRTEENTH DIVISION. There is a rumor afloat to the effect that Maj. Walker, supervising principal of the Thirteenth Division, is to be transferred to another division. This rumor has caused a great deal of discontent and anxiety among principals, teachers, pupils and citizens generally of this division. They all as one agree that Maj. Walker's removal from this division, would be nothing less than a calamity. Prior to Maj. Walker's assuming control of this division, everything was in a very chaotic state and at very low ebb. But since he has had charge everything has moved along smoothly and by hard work, untiling study and his efforts to give all a square deal, he has brought this division up to a high degree of efficiency. Maj. Walker is a born leader of the masses and every man, woman and child in this division has learned to love, reverence and respect him. It seldom happens that a man so young in years gets such a firm grasp upon the affections of the people. Pettitions are being formulated among the principals and teachers for his retention in the Thirteenth Division and big mass meetings are being arranged to protest against his removal. The division which Maj. Walker supervises is one of the largest as well as one of the most difficult to supervise and since he has succeeded so well, it is hoped by the principals, teachers and citizens in general that he will not be disturbed. The many noble, deeds, the wise counsel, and the brotherly love shown by Maj. Walker in his daily life can not be over estimated. He has been called into a field to work where God has intended that he should work, because he is the most competent to bring out not only in children, but in those of riper years, all that He intended that they should be. "Let Maj. Walker remain in the Thirteenth Division," is the war cry all along the line: HAND-PICKED LEADER The Cleveland, Ohio Gazette says: The Cleveland, Ohio Gazette says: "Four days after the inauguration as principal of Tuskegee, Ala., Industrial and Industrail Institute the south forces Major Moton to 'show his hand' and there is not even a 'deuce' in it for the race. One thing sure and that is, from a racial standpoint, he is certainly no improvement upon Booket T. Washington. We still believe that it was a most unfortunate mistake not to have elected Secretary Emmett J. Scott, principal of that school." The Richmond Planet cays: If it can be arranged so as to have Principal Moton and Secretary Scott act and work together, there can be no question but what the Moton administration will be a success. It should also be remembered that Tuskegee Institute is supported almost entirely by northern philanthropists. They evidently were more willing to finance Major Moton than they were to back Mr. Scott, Dr. Washington was diplomatic enough to play servant with the white men of the south, equal with the white men of the North and an elder brother with the colored folks of the whole country. The Georgia Baptist, Augusta, Ga.: We believe in conservatism; we believe in cultivating the friendship of our white neighbors, but we also believe in contending for equal civil and political rights for our race. We shall give. Major Moton our most earnest support in his work, and we shall hope that he may do nothing to dim the luster of Tuskegee given it by Booker T. Washington, and that he may have the judgment and the wisdom to be and to do all that is possible as Tuskegee's head. COLORED BUREAU EMPLOYEES MARCH The colored men of the Bureau of Engraving, who were in the parade to the number of three hundred, headed by the Knights of Pythias Cornet Band, A. Johnson, captain, attracted much attention along the line of march and were cheerfully applauded. The efforts of drum major and the steady marching was commendable. The absence of the female employees was regretted by the officials and the committee who had arranged for their appearance. The men were highly commended by Director Ralph for their attendance. Mr. Samuel Smith was the soldier bearer; Mr. Jas. L. Turner was the commander in charge. HE IS A PAPA. Mr. and Mrs. John T. Rhine of 900 Third street southwest were presented with a seven-pound boy Saturday, June 10th. John is a papa, and mama is doing well. MID CITY THEATER MID CITY THEATER. The First theater owned by colored people. Seventh street between M and N streets northwest. Open at 1 p. m. Continued performances. First class pictures. Good music, cool theater. The only open air roof theater in the city. SHERMAN MASON, AdvtJ-10-17 Proprietor. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS (By the Sage of the Potomac.) Well, the has-beens and near statesmen have nowhere to go. They are now between the devil and the deep blue sea. They all were for Teddy, but their favorite idol was welged in the balances and found wanting. Jim Cobb is no doubt the most surprised man in the whole bunch, not leaning on the other derelicts who had hoped to be returned to their old berths in the event Teddy was returned to the White Castle. The entire bunch got left entirely. The last of Teddy and Hogan was a severe shock; it is more than they can stand. I would advise them to go to work, because there is nothing in the waiting game. R. Windy will tell you how it was done. John W. Lewis was no doubt disappointed when his Moose ticket was turned down. Explanations are in order now from the rooters of the Moose. No doubt they are disgusted with themselves; it were their acts that deprived the District of Columbia of representation. Have you ever seen or read of Napolean's return from Moscow? Well, if you haven't, just read Repalt's History and you will see the Moose delegation on its return from Chicago. They needed the sympathy of the rooters who were not present at the station. They went to the station with guests, in automobiles, blowing of horns, and with the determination that the Moose leader would be seated or he would know the reasons why. The Mooses soon knew the reasons why and returned wiser men and enlightened politicians. Did you hear the latest sensation? Some seem to think that there will be some changes in the board of education. The Sage is of the opinion that a few surprises will take place somewhere. Lord Fauntelroy's occupation is about gone. The board of education will be reconstructed and then something will take place. If there is nothing against the doctor there is no reason why he shouldn't be re-appointed. He is the most manly member of the board of education that has ever been appointed. He is a friend of the colored schools and I hope that he will be re-appointed. His record as a board member has been No.1. His defence of the teachers has been manly, and his interest in the children has bee been watched with a jealous eye. Speaking of politics, I am not surprised at the interest and anxiety the defeated Mooses manifested. They had axes to grind, but now they must look for legitimate work to enable them to earn an honest living. Some seem to think that Howard University should undergo a change. I don't know who is in charge of the institution. The student body would like to run things, but Prof. Geo. W. Cook is determined to let it be known that he is the boss on the job. This here student body has been given to understand that the men who made Howard University what it is today intend to see that no set of outsiders will be permitted to break it up. Many predictions have been made, but the institution continues to rise. My good old friend, Ralph W. Tyler, is still in the land of the living. I hear that Ralph will be heard from again shortly which will be a surprise to the natives. You know Ralph can pull off, some stunts when he wishes to do so. Ever since Noah let loose the dove what returned with the olive branch there has been more or less discussion as to whether anybody, seen or unseen, divine or mortal, answered prayers. William Calvin what pays the weekly bills for gettin' out this old palladium, will bet you a donought to hot waffle that prayers, are answered. Just before he pulled out for Chicago, as the regularly constituted delegate from this ballwick to the republican convention, he got down on his rheumatic knees and prayed one powful prayer. He prayed that the National committee if it couldn't hep the bear, it just naturally wouldn't hep the bear. Well, you all know what happened up at Chicago. The committee sort of balked on hep him, but it just most determinedly refused to hep the bear, so Doc. Williston and the gentleman with the Irish patryonym, Mr. Hogan, and the other pair of wiggle-wiggles what figured they would be seated as delegates, like that historical king of France, just marched up the hill and down again. Course I think it was a sort of raw deal to not give the District, with its one hundred thousand studies-in-black, territorial representation, but I sure was glad that the committee didn't hep the bear. Yes, prayers are answered once in a while. For proof just go and consult one William Calvin Chase who writes the heavy editorials in this thirty-seven-year old palladium. Of course, Doc. Williston, just cause hasn't didn't get answered, will begin to arguify that prayers saint answered. But them there prayers what William Calvin puts up, deep, base, and sonorious prayers, always gets answered somehow and somewhere. While strollin' over the Aplan Way, that's You street, Saturday evening and Sunday p. m., I met many near statesmen with complexions runnin' from a canarie yellow to an anthracite black, some of whom go home to vote every four years, and some of whom 'aint cast a vote back home since Van Buren sat in the White House. Everyone had something to say about the nomination of Hughes, and from what I could collect from the brain-output of these varigated colored statesmen, who are more near statesmen than the real unadulterated kind, all are a bit nervous over the nomination of Mr. Hughes. First they argue that Hughes never having recognized the colored brother, while he was governor of New York, with so much as custodian of the cuspidators, taint no use in expectin' or anticipatin' that he'll give 'em anything if he is elected president. And then they figured that blond-haired gentleman Frank Hitchcock, was sure to be his campaign manager, and everybody, white and colored, hyphenated and just pure American, knows that Frank never had any use for Ham noway and nohow, ceptin just before a convention or just before an election. Fact is, you never saw a blond-haired white man in your life what was scrumtually warm on one of Ham's products. Hitchcock did have a kinder tender feelin', at one time for Link Johnson, simply cause Link was willin' to use the hammer, tongues and pinchers on John Rucker down in Georgia, so that Frank could put over a white man in Rucker's place. But afore he left office he and Link uped and parted company, and Frank aint never spoken three words to any other study-in-black since. So takin' Mr. Hughes' record as governor, of New York, on appointin' of Ham's products, and the record of Frank Hitchcock in the matter of hepin' or even totin' fair with Brother Coal Black Ham, about all that is left for us to expect, if Mr. Hughes becomes President, is to be left standin'. just where Woody Wilson, sot us—out in the cold. There's an old sayin' that "Hope springs eternal." but take my word for it there ain' no use in we varigated sons of the dark contingent to indulge in one second of hope. We worked up to our zenith of recognition under Teddy and William Howard Taft, and we forked down to zero under the New Jersey man, via way of Virginia and Georgia, and we are due to remain in the zero climate until some president what's got a modicum of old time republicanism left in him. And this brings me down to the late and lamented republican national convention. Not since the party got its birth has the negro been given such little consideration as he was at this convention. Some of the anthracite delegates figured out a nice, just, and deserved plank for the platform what would put the party 'again on record as bein' our real sure "nf" friends. But the committee on resolutions didn't even give it to the once over—just dismissed the petitioners with the injunction to run along and sell their papers. And believe me Ben Davis, of that God-forsaken state, Georgia, and Redmond of that uncivilized state, Mississippi, who were the two studies-in-black what was on the resolution committee, just had to stick their tails between their legs and just naturally "beat it." Why they tell me that the few Hamized delegates what was at the convention merely stood around the lobbies of the hotel like a bunch of homing pigeons. Nobody noticed 'em, nobody spoke, to them, nobody gave a consummate whether they staid in Chicago until the convention, was over or beat it back to the South by the railroad tie route. Even Link Johnson, who four years ago brought up his delegates to Chicago, allowed liberal expense money by the brother of William Howard, to deliver them f. o. b., Chicago, this time was like a f. o. b., Chicago, this time was like a I. b., Chicago, this time was on the equator. Link four years ago was somebody. This year he, with the rest, was just naturally nuthin'. It just goes to show that our one time friends, the republicans, have turned us adrift and told us to beat it. And it kinder of puts the stamp of truth on the statement that Bishop Walter once said, shortly after Woody came in and put the lever under all the colored office-holders, that there was sort of an agreement between the republicans and democrats that the Demmiles should put the Hams out, and they, the republicans, if they came back in nower, would leave 'em out. No use in talkin', the Ham products and 'by-products had just about as much show in this late and lamented republican national convention as Wash Woods would have down in his Satanic majesty's domains tryin' to keep cool with nothin' but a pair of lille-thread gloves on his hands, and the rest of his body merely wrapped in a smiler. Now where are we goin'? The Demmies harpooned us, and the republicans just studiously 'overlooked us. They had Jeems Cobb runnin' around presumin' to do scout duty, afore the convention, mostly in the South, but now that the convention is over, I'm wagin' a pair of Ware's shoes to a toothpick that they wont have no further use for Jeems. Course, after you take a look at the ballots cast by the various states, Jeems delivered no goods. But that wasn't his fault. He tried hard enough. Hitchcock is one of them fellows what demands results if you expect somethin' from him, and "expect" is about your only salvage with Frank. Now Jeems left his big law practice to a probable finance and the elevator boy, and hiked it out sleuthin' for a few. weeks, oft and on, but without results. He sure can be of no benefit to the blond-haired campaign manager from this time on, cause its the studies-in-black out in the eastern and western states what's got a vote that must be seen, and they aint very easy to be influenced by a fellow what never cast a vote in all forty-odd years of residence on this vale of tears. Course if Cobb was really with Hitchcock as a messenger, note-carrier or errand boy, and has made Frank believe he really earned a portion of his expense money; if he is wise, and wants to remain on the payroll when the campaign begins, he'll just connect up with some heady colored politician in the east, and some postmaster in the game in the middle west where Hamized votes are as plentiful as water during the rainy season in Cuba, and where they are as independent as a pork-fed girl in the middle of winter, and work with and through them. Now that's just speculation. Fact is, Ham has been eliminated from national politics, and there sint no man in this wide, wide world, outside of Woody who has tried to do more to eliminate Ham than this same blond-baired gentleman what will manage Justice Hughes' campaign. But gettin' back to Jeems Cobb's law prac (Continued to page 4.) Mr. Reeder Entertains. To dinner party was given by Mr. Chas. A.

ORIGIN OF LAUGHTER. Carrying the Analysis Back to the Lowly Prehistoric Clam. Laughter is an involuntary physical reaction; Hughlings Jackson calls it "one of the innumerable epilepsies, to which man is subject." It is apparently a universal heritage, though certain causes may operate more powerfully upon one individual than upon another to produce it. In the little child whose sensibilities are uncomplicated by any mental experience unless they be racial ones the shock of delicate touch-tickling, as we call it—first causes laughter. Why? The claim of our psychologist carries us a long leap backward to the most elemental form of animal life. Beyond the savage stands the monkey and dimly far beyond him the mollusk, whose only sense was that of touch. Picture this great-grandfather of living things lying motionless save for those nervous, fluttering, sensitive feelers extended to play the part of sight and hearing. A bit of seaweed bumps against them. A spasm racks the mollusk's whole being, crushing him into his shell until the surprise has abated; then the fact that no further attack follows brings relief. This is the germ of the cause of our laughter spasm—a sudden shock, instantly followed by a feeling of relief. Only such shocks as were followed by relief became racial memories. Where relief did not follow the clam did not live to leave a heritage—Burges Johnson in Harper's Magazine. SPOILED HIS SYSTEM. He Thought it Couldn't Be Done, but He Is Wiser Now. I know a man who wears his shirts in chronological order—that is, if he buys a new shirt he tags it with his initials, numbers it and places it at the bottom of the pile. And, no matter how much he likes it, he does not wear it until it comes out at the top of the pile. He went into wordy detail about the economy of his system, and he added that he arranged his socks and underwear in the same manner. I told him that he would meet the woman of his dreams some fine day and that she would knock the spots out of his system. I told him that she would admire a particular shirt, caress its delicate stripes lovingly and ask why he didn't wear it oftener. And then he would send it to the laundry as soon as it was soiled and wear it as soon as it got back, and he would buy other shirts like it, and he would forget the system. "Don't you believe it!" he said. "The person doesn't live who could upset my system!" But I met him a few days ago—for the first time in a year. He was hurrying to catch a car, so I had only time to ask him how he was and how things were going. And he didn't have time to explain. He only shouted over his shoulder jubilantly, "I'm wearing 'em every which way!" And I hadn't even heard he was married—Cleveland Plain Dealer MEN NAMED AT CHICAGO PLEASE G.O.P. Hughes and Fairbanks Nominated. ONLY THREE BALLOTS. Platform For Americanism and Preparedness. FAVORITE SONS WITHDRAW. Governor Whitman's Speech Nominating Charles Evans Hughes. Sketches of the Candidates For President and Vice President. Mr. Hughes' Letter of Acceptance. Chicago, June 10. — Charles Evans Hughes of New York for president and Charles Warren Falkbanks of Indiana for vice president, the men nominated by the Republican convention here, are greeted with approval by party members throughout the country. Each man has held high office, the former as governor of New York and associate justice of the United States supreme court and the latter as senator from Indiana and vice president of the United States. The latter held his former high office in the second administration of President Roosevelt, from 1905 to 1900. From the time the first ballot was cast in the Republican convention and it was seen that Hughes had more votes than any of his rivals his selection was freely predicted. The end of the heated but not unduly prolonged fight came on the third ballot, when the New York man was chosen by a vote of 940%, 404 being necessary for a choice. He had obtained 253½ votes on the first ballot, taken in the evening of June 9, and on the second ballot, taken immediately thereafter, he gained 75, while Theodore Roosevelt, who had been feared by the Hughes men as his strongest opponent, mounted from 65 to 81. Besides these two, eighteen other candidates received votes on the second ballot, the total, twenty, being greater probably than ever before known in a national convention. Root, Burton, Cummins, Weeks and Fairbanks were the strongest of the twen- CLINEDINET CHARLES EVANS HUGHES: ty, besides the two leaders, and of these Root and Fairbanks polled each a greater vote than the former president. The nomination of Justice Hughes by the Republicans came on June 10 after a night of conference and debate and suggested compromise. Just before the naming of Hughes by the Republicans and the nomination of Roosevelt by the Progressives the name of Senator Lodge was suggested by Colonel Roosevelt as a compromise candidate, but the Republicans were then determined to have Hughes, and the Progressives could see only one candidate. Theodore Roosevelt, whom they named. In his address as temporary chairman of the convention Senator Warren G. Harding of Ohio outlined the Republican view of the issues and pleaded for healing of the differences which split the party in 1912. He referred to the policy of the present administration as one of "watchful waiting and wabbling warfare." Career of Charles Evans Hughes. Justi e Charles Evans Hughes, as sociate justice of the United States su preme court, nominated by the Republicans for president, was born in Glens Falls, N. Y., April 11, 1862. He first --- became generally known to the New York public in 1004, when as counsel for the gas investigating committee he wrung from officials, of the gas and electric light companies a vast amount of information in a short time and surprised the politicians by his ability to grasp details of importance. He later was appointed counsel for the legislative insurance investigating committee and brought about important reforms in the insurance-laws and made himself a national figure: He practiced law from 1854, when he was graduated from Columbia Law school. After his graduation from Brown university in 1851 he got an appointment as professor of Greek at Delaware academy. He was soon admitted into partnership by the late Walter S. Carter, whose daughter, Antolnette, Mr. Hughes married in 1888. He held a professorship at Cornell university for two years. In 1893 he entered into partnership once more with his father-in-law. He was nominated for mayor of New York city by the Republicans in 1905, but declined the nomination. He was elected governor of New York for two terms, from Jan. 1, 1907, to Dec. 31, 1908, and from Jan. 1, 1909, to Dec. 31, 1910. He was appointed by President Taft to be an associate justice of the supreme court of the United States and confirmed by the senate on the 2d day of May, 1910. He resigned the office of governor of the state of New York on the 6th day of October, 1910, and took his seat on the bench on the 10th day of October, 1910. Mr. Fairbanks' Career. Former Vice President Charles Warren Falrbanks of Indiana, nominated by the Republicans, was born on a farm near Unionville Center, Union county, O., May 11, 1852. He was educated in the common schools of the A. H. CHARLES WARREN FAIRBANK8. neighborhood and graduated from Ohio Wesleyan university, Delaware, O., in 1872. He was admitted to the bar in 1874 and started practice in Indianapolis. In 1904 he was unanimously nominated by the Republicans for vice president and elected with Roosevelt as president. He was appointed a member of the United States and British joint high commission which met in Quebec in 1898 for the adjustment of the Canadian question and was chairman of the United States high commissioners. On Jan. 20, 1897, he was elected to the United States senate to succeed D. W. Voorhees, Democrat. He was re-elected from 1903 until 1909. He was mentioned for the vice presidency four years ago. His family consists of five children, four sons and one daughter. Mrs. Fairbanks died on Oct. 24, 1913. The daughter is the wife of Lieutenant Commander John W. Timmons of the navy. The eldest son is Warren C., the second Frederic C., the third Richard, the youngest Robert. HUGHES' ACCEPTANCE. Pledges Himself to Country's Service—Resigns His Place on Supreme Court Bench. In his letter of acceptance Mr. Hughes says: You speak at a time of national exigency, transcending merely partisan consideration. You voice the demand for a dominant, thoroughgoing Americanism, with firm protection upbuilding policies essential to our peace and security, and to that call in this crisis. I cannot fall to answer, with the pledge of all that is in me to the service of our country. Therefore I accept the nomination. I stand for the firm unfinishing maintenance of all the rights of American citizens on land and sea. I neither impugn motives nor underestimate difficulties. But it is more regretfully true that in our foreign relations we have suffered incalculably from the weak and vacillating course which has been taken in regard to Mexico, a course lamentably wrong with regard to both our rights and our duties. We interfered with consistency, and we seeking to dictate when we were not concerned we utterly failed to appreciate and discharge our plain duty to our own citizens. Brave words have been stripped of their force by indirection. I desire to see our diplomacy restored to its best standards and to have these advanced, to have no sacrifices of national interests to partisan expediency, to have the first ability of the country always at its command here and abroad, in diplomatic intercourse to maintain firmly our rights as neutrals and fully performing our international obligations, and by the clear correctness and justice of our position and our manifest ability to enforce the nation's obligations to the nation, to display our place among the nations. I stand for Americanism which knows no anterior purpose, for a patriotism which is single and complete, whether native or naturalized, of whatever race or creed. We have but one country, and we do not for an instant tolerate any division of allegiance. I believe in making prompt provision to THE BEE Published at: 1129 Eye St. N. W., Washington, D. C. W.

The preparedness parade took place Wednesday and the colored Americans were "Jim Crowed" with a vengeance. Just why colored citizens will subscribe to this American prejudice The Bee is unable to state. The American white has no use for the colored American except to use him when the country is threatened or in danger. The colored man would be put in front if a war broke out in this country. Notwithstanding the ill. treatment of the colored American he remains loyal to his country. What is the lesson of this recent parade? It means that the black man now must continue to be the white man's willing slave. The parade from the standpoint of those who inaugurated it was a success, but so far as the colored man is concerned he was pictured as a "hewer of wood and drawer of water." These faithful allies to a great republic were told in eloquent quietness that their places were in the rear of the white man, no matter how patriotic the cause may be. The parade was to emphasize the doctrine of preparedness which seems to be dearer to the hearts of the shams in the country than protecting the lives and liberties of a people who are the only true Americans in this country. The Catholic Church with all the criticism of her enemies demonstrates more patriotism and loyalty towards the colored American than the national government. Is the colored American to be continued the slave of the more fortunate or those who control the government? How many in the parade last Wednesday would go to the front if they were called by their country? Preparedness is but a sham and the essence of sentimentality. It is the political slogan of the crafty politician and the sham diplomacy of those who would let the colored American know that this is a white man's government, although you pay taxes to maintain the government. The negro apologist and trimmer must take a back seat if the race is to succeed. The "hand picked" leader must retire to the shades of darkness and humiliation if the colored race is to succeed in the American body politic. In the event of war, the colored Americans will be kept in the rear and the white man will be in front. No doubt, provided that the white American prejudice will prevent it. DISTRICT PRIMARIES SCORED. Declaring the Republican' primaries in the "shadow of the Capitol were more corrupt than would be possible in any backwoods town," ex-Senator Marlon Butler of North Carolina last night petitioned the Washington Chamber of Commerce to urge corrective legislation upon Congress. He recommended that the law and legislation committee of the chamber investigate the advisability of Congressional supervision of District primaries. His suggestion was adopted. Mr. Butter said he was "sickened and appalled" by the corruption displayed in the local republican primaries. He deplored racially mixed delegation to national conventions and urged that an educational restriction be placed upon voters—From the Herald, June 14. The Bee takes this opportunity of informing the former Senator, a democrat at that, from South Carolina, that the spectacle that was displayed in the last election for delegates, in this city, was inaugurated, by a former citizen next to his state. Then again, The Bee would like to know, if there were not similar conditions in his state at the time of his election and defeat? He also stated that he didn't believe in a mixed delegation of negroes and white men. The Bee takes pleasure in informing him, for that reason he was defeated and left where he will never be able to resur- rect unless there are mixed voters in his state and he, Butler, is esteemed enough by his constituents to re-elect him. This is a city for the has beens and the dumping ground for retiring, weak politicians, who have lost their usefulness at home. Such people, white and black, always preach this doctrine to the citizens of Washington. The people in North Carolina, Mr. Butler's home, are more in need of his advice, especially the two defeated candidates on the Moose ticket. Mr. Henry P. Blair, president of the Board of Education, is being indorsed by many friends and organizations for reappointment on the Board of Education. We are desirous of knowing what Hogan and Williston did with the Miller-Chase ticket and seats at Chicago. Did they tear the credentials as he said he would when he reached the Windy City or was he torn up? Did he take his seat which the people of Washington gave to Miller-Chase? Please let us know. We think the timely defeat of this ticket, the Hogan-Williston, a God send to the people of Washington. If W. C. Chase had never done anything else to maintain the honor and dignity of the people of this city, he has insured their everlasting gratitude and has erected an imperishable monument to his memory by the defeat at Chicago of the two emblems that will not be forgotten in the history of local politics. Within the past few weeks Dr. Starr Parsons has been frequently mentioned as a candidate for membership on the Board of Education. He is strongly indorsed by his many friends. tice. A fellow must have a "helvue" a practice when he can desert it, leavin' it to the janitor and elevator boy, while he chases a will-o-the-wisp for a few weeks. And I've had another belief faded. The belief that Cobb had a law practice really large enough to be noticed. Passin' Cobb over to Providence, let me arise to inquire what has become of Doc. Bruce Evans since the convention? Doc came out in the Eagle: a few weeks ago predictin' that Burton would be nominated, and a sayin' he was for Burton. But Burton never got inside the distance flag. While Doc. Bruce, with no vote or influence in the convention, was yellin' for Burton, them there varigated color boys out in Ohio what vote annually, wasn't sayin' aword for Burton. Why? But the recent convention recorded two extraordinary things. First, it answered William Calvin's prawn to not hep the bear. Secondly, it threw us Hamitgs out on the ash heap. The New York Ace rushes to the assistance of Maj. Moton, the hand-picked leader, and intimates that the Major didn't say what the papers say he said when his wife was ejected from the sleeping car. Anyway, Major aint denied it yet, and until he musts up enough manhood to deny it flatfooted. I've got to put him down as a cringer what aint no use to the race or even to Tuskegee. There's just as much difference between Maj. Moton and his lamented, predecessor as there is between pineapple and decayed fish. He just won't do.

Make Big Showing at Grand Lodge Convention in Philadelphia Week of August 22. Never in the history of Elkdom has somuch enthusiasm been shown in preparing for a convention as is being conducted at the present time. The office of George F. Hatton, secretary of Morning Star Lodge of Elks at 1144 Nineteenth street northwest, has been kept in a bustle for the past week giving out information and fitting the antlers in the steel gray palm beach suits that will mark the lodge which is expecting to produce to the world a grand exalted ruler to be elected at the coming convention in the person of Attorney Armond W. Scott, who has served with credit many positions of trust in his lodge, and an orator of great ability. Numbered among the fifty different bands that will take part in the Elks' parade in Philadelphia is Morning Star Lodge brass band of 25 pieces. This band will represent Washington at the convention with new suits and several new instruments for modern harmony. Over 150 uniforms have been ordered thus far for members of Morning Star Lodge, which will consist of steel gray palm beach suits, pinch back semi-Norfolk effect, hat and gloves to match, white shoes, silk tie made of Elk colors and walking canes. Alexander Tavlor, Exalted Ruler of the Lodge, will have a strict censor placed on the uniforming in order to have his lodge compete for a prize in the great event. Columbia Lodge, No. 85, under the leadership of Exalted Ruler E. W. Bundy, is expected to leave Washington with about two hundred antlers, wearing blue serge coats, cream serge flannel trousers, steel gray straw hats and ties, white shoes and walking canes. The men are taking great interest in their appearance at Philadelphia in the parade, in general opinion is that our boys must have a prize. One of the Washington headquarters will be at 1614 South Headquarters will be at 1614 South Philadelphia. William H. Shanda, a prominent colored Elk of that city, with several assistants, is getting things in readiness for the coming horde of antlers from the Capital City. ```markdown ``` [Picture of a man in a suit and tie].

From the Philadelphia, Pa. Tribune. The Tribune, which wishes Tuskegee Institute continued success in the work of industrial education established by Dr. Booker T. Washington, and to the success of which he devoted all of his life and energies, chronicles with sincere regret the fact that Major Robert R. Moton, who has just been inaugurated as successor to Dr. Washington as principal of Tuskegee Institute, with an attendance of notabilities from all parts of the country, and with ceremonies more elaborate and imposing than characterized a like Afro-American occasion heretofore, and who has been heralded as the leader, of the Afro-American people in succession to Dr. Washington, has just had his faith tested in its tendered relation by the bestiality of southern lawlessness, and has gracefully bent to the lawlessness a subservient acquiescence which may win the admiration of the white South and the Northern and Western and Eastern white support necessary to the existence of the Tuskegee Institute work, but which must injure the race indeed in those vital and essential matters of citizenship, of manhood and womanhood, without which life possesses little of value worth the having. The thing happened on Decoration Day, which should stand for the birth of freedom and the death of slavery on this Continent, but which the Grand Army men of the North and the Confederate Veterans of the South now commonly celebrated with glorifications of treason and loyalty in one gland jumbe of oratorical slush, with "We be white men and brothers, with one Nation and no sectional boundary lines of division," as slogan. While President Wilson was orating an the proposition that "This Nation must be dedicated to humanity," over the fraves of Union soldiers, at Arlington Cemetery, near Washington, the following dispatch appeared in the afternoon newspapers of the country, and must have made every Afro-American Grand Army man blue in the face with rage and indignation not because it is a happening unusual but because it happened, and because of what Principal Moton had to say about it: "Montgomery, Ala., May 30—Mrs. Robert R. Moton, wife of the new president of Tuskeekee Institute, was ejected from a Pullman car at Troy, while enroute back to Hampton, Va. Mrs. Moten was accompanied by Blanton Moton, brother of Maj. Mote front of the train, and the rest of ton. The couple secured Pullman berths in Montgomery, it is said, and between Montgomery and Troy.-Ala., the white passengers made objections and an officer 'was called when the train stopped at Troy. The train was held while the couple were moved forward to the regular negro car to THE STAR HAIR GROWER A WONDERFUL HAIR One thousand agents wanted.

This is outrageous enough, and with out any justification in law, or the decisions of the Inter-State Commission governing such Pullman service and passengers, over which the State of Alabama has no authority, but the same dispatch, and we take it from the Washington Evening Star, says: Maj. Moton stated yesterday that he specifically advised against trying to travel in a Pullman, but he presumed, if the Troy report is true, that some one else had advised differently when his wife reached Montgomery. He said his wife had visited this section before some five years ago, but had come through on a special car and had returned the same way. She came to Tuskegee last week on a special car from Hampton. Maj. Moton, stated that he was absolutely regardful of southern opinion, inasmuch as he was born in the South. He lived, worked and traveled all over the South, he said, and has never sought to override Southern public opinion in the matter of racial relationship.

Following is the platform adopted by the Republican national convention: The Republican party stood for the Union. As it stood for the union of states it now stands for a united people, true to American ideals, loyal to American traditions, knowing no allegiance except to the constitution, to the government, to the flag of the United States. We believe in American policies at home and abroad. Protection of American Rights. We declare that we believe in and will enforce the protection of every American citizen in all the rights secured to him by the constitution, treaties and the law of nations at home, and the law of nations at home, which, in violation of the specific promises of their party, made at Baltimore in 1912, the Democratic president and the Democratic congress have failed to defend, we will unflinchingly. We desire peace, the peace of justice and right, and believe in maintaining a straight and honest neutrality between the belligerents in the great war in Europe. We must perform all our duties and out fear and without favor. We believe that peace and neutrality as well as the dignity and influence of the United States cannot be preserved by shyty expedients, by phrasemaking, by performances in language, in an effort to secure groups of voters. The present administration has destroyed our influence abroad and humiliated us in our own eyes. The Republican party believes that a firm, consistent, and courageous foreign policy, always maintained by Republican presidents in accordance with American traditions is the best, as it is the only true way to preserve our peace and restore us to a world in which we believe in the pacific settlement of international disputes and favor the establishment of a world court for that purpose. Mexico. We deeply sympathize with the 15,000,000 people of Mexico who, for three years, have seen their country devastated, their homes destroyed, their fellow citizens and their families murdered and armed bands of desperdees led by self-seeking, conscienceless agitators. We express our horror and indignation at the outrages which have been, and are being perpetrated by these bandits upon American men and women who were or are in Mexico by invitation of the invasions and whose rights to security of person and property are guaranteed by solen treaty obligations. We denounce the defensible methods of interference employed by this administration in the internal affairs of Mexico and refer with shame to its failure to discharge the duty of this country as next friend to Mexico, upon us as such friend and its duty to our citizens in Mexico in permitting the continuance of such conditions, first, by failure to act promptly and firmly, and, second, by lending its influence to the continuation of such conditions through recognition of one of the factions responsible for these outrages. We peacefully in restoring order and maintaining peace in Mexico. We promise to our citizens on and near our border and to those in Mexico, wherever they may be found, adequate and absolute protection in their lives, liberty and property. Manroe Doctrine. We reaffirm our approval of the Monroe doctrine and declare its maintenance to be a policy of this country essential to its present and future peace and safety and to the achievement of its manifest destiny. Latin America. We favor the continuation of Republican policies, which will result in drawing more and more closely the commercial, financial, and military resources and the countries of Latin America. Philippines. We renew our allegiance to the Philippine polity inaugurated by McKinley, approved by congress and consistently carried out by Roosevelt and Taft. Even in this short time it has enormously improved the relations between the islands, given the Philippine people a constantly increasing participation in their government and, if persisted in, will bring still greater benefits in the future. We condemn the Democratic administration for its attempt to abandon the Philippines, which was prevented only by the vigorous opposition of Republican mem- bers, addressed by a few patriotic Democrats. Treaty With Russia. We reiterate our unqualified approval of the action taken in December, 1811, by the president and congress to secure with Russia, as with other countries, a treaty that will recognize the absolute right of expatriation and prevent all discrimination whatever kind between American citizens or other nationals and regardless of race, religion or previous political allegiance. We renew the pledge to observe this principle and to maintain the right of asylum, which is neither to be surrendered nor restricted, and we unite in the cherished hope that the war which is now desolating the world may speedily end with a complete and unrestricted victory among the nations of the earth and the abundance of full equal rights, civil and religious, to all men in every land. Protection of the Country. In order to maintain our peace and make certain the security of our people within our own borders, the country must have a complete national-defense, ready for any emergency. We must have a sufficient and effective regular army and a provision for ample reserves, already drilled despite the danger, be ready once to the colors when danger comes. We must have a navy so strong and so well proportioned and equipped, so thoroughly ready and prepared that no enemy can gain command of the sea and effect a landing in force on either our western or our eastern coasta. To secure these re-requirements must have a coherent and continuous military defense, even in these perilous days. Democrat party has utterly failed to develop, but which we promise to give to the country. Tariff. The Republican party stands now, as always, in the fullest sense for the policy of tariff protection to American industries and American labor and does not fegard an antitariff provision as a reasonable substitute. Such protection should be reasonable in amount, but sufficient to protect, adequately American industry and American labor and be adjusted as to trusts. It should, by monopolies or trusts, attention to securing the industrial independence of the United States, as in the case of dyestuffs. Through wise tariff and industrial legislation these duties should be so organized that they will become not so commercial bulwark, but a powerful aid to national defense. The Underwood tariff act is a complete failure in every respect. Under its administration imports have enormously increased in spite of the fact that the intercourse with foreign countries has been largely cut off by reason of the war, while the revenues, of which we stand in such a position, have been greatly diminished under the normal conditions which prevailed prior to the war, it was clearly demonstrated that this act deprived the American producer and the American wage earner of that protection which entitled them to meet their foreign competitors, and, but for the adventitious conditions which prevailed, paralyzed all forms of American industry and deprived American labor of its just reward. It has not in the least reduced the cost of living, which has constantly advanced from the date of its enactment. The welfare of our people, demands its repeal and the substitution of a measure to produce a more revenue and give reasonable protection to all forms of American production in mine, field, and factory. We favor the creation of a tariff commission, with complete power to gather and compile information for the use of congress in all matters relating to the Business. The Republican party has long believed in the rigid supervision and strict regulation of transportation and great corporations. The country is a great place to enter into its secret and all really effective laws regulating the railroads and the great industrial corporations are the work of Republican congresses and presidents. For this policy of regulation and supervision the Democracy of the Democracy of the Democracy are undertaking to involve the government in business which should be left within the sphere of private enterprise and indirect competition with its own citizens, a policy which is sure to reduce the tax burden of the taxpayer and in an inferior product. The Republican party firmly believes that all who violate the laws in regulation of business should be individually punished. But prosecution is very different from persecution, and business success, no matter how honestly attained, is apparently regarded by the Democratic party as in itself a crime. Such doctrines are often used in enterprise and attire property. The Republican party believes in encouraging American business as it believes in and will seek to advance all American interests. 'Rural Credits We favor an effective system of rural credits as opposed to the ineffective law proposed by the present democratic administration. Rural Free Delivery... We favor the extension of the rural free delivery system and condemn the Democrate administration for curtailing and crippling it Merchant Marine. In view of the policies adopted by all the maritime nations to encourage their shipping interests, and in order to enable us to compete with them for the ocean carrying trade, we favor the payment to ships engaged in international cooperation for services actually rendered in carrying the mails and such further legislation as will build up an adequate American merchant marine and give us ships which may be requisitioned by the government in time of national emergency. It is betterly opposed to the government ownership of vessels as proposed by the Democratic party because, government owned ships, while effectively preventing the development of the American merchant marine by private capital, will be entirely unable to provide for the vast volume of cargo that ships and will require us more helpless than ever in the hard grip of foreign syndicates. Transportation. Interstate and intrastate transportation has become so intertwined that the attempt to apply two and often several sets of laws to its regulation has produced conflicts of authority, embarrassment in inconvenience and expense to the public. The entire transportation system of the country has become essentially national. We, therefore, favor such action by legislation or, if necessary, through an amendment of the laws. The United States as will result in placing it under exclusive federal control. Economy and a National Budget The increasing cost of the national government and the need for the greatest economy of its resources, in order to meet the growing demands of the people for government service, call for the soverever of this Democratic administration, of this Democratic administration, of its shameless raids on the treasury and of its opposition to and rejection of President Taft's oft repeated proposals and earnest efforts to secure economy and efficiency of a simple, businesslike budget system, to which we pledge our support. Conservation. We believe in a careful husbandry of all the natural resources of the nation-n husbandry which means development without waste, use without abuse. Civil Service Reform. The civil service law has always been sustained by the Republican party, and we renew our repeated declaration that it shall be thoroughly and honestly enforced and extended wherever practicable. The Democratic party has obtained since 1995 a civil service law at the cost of $141,000,000 to the taxpayers of the country. Territorial Matters. Reaffirming the attitude long maintained by the Republican party, we hold that officials appointed to administer the government of any territory should be bona fide residents of the territory in which their duties are to be performed. Labor Laws. We pledge the Republican party to the faithful enforcement of all federal laws passed for the protection of labor. We favor vocational education, the enactment of labor laws, the enforcement of labor law, the enactment of a generous and comprehensive workman's compensation law, within the commerce power of congress, and an accident compensation law covering all government employees. We favor the collection and collation unauthorized labor of complete, data relating to industrial hazards for the information of congress, to the end that such legislation may be adopted as may be calculated, to secure the safety, conservation and protection of industry, to ensure incident to industry and transportation. Suffrage The Republican party, reaffirming its faith of government of the people, by the force, for the people, as a measure of justice, in the face of this country, favors the extension of the suffrage to women, but recognizes the right of each state to settle this question. Such are our principles, such are our purposes and policies. We close as we begin. The times are dangerous and the future is fraught with peril. We apologize for the state, whether naturalized or native born, to proclaim that we are Americans in thought and in deed, with one loyalty, one hope, one aspiration. We call on all Americans to be strong and to the great traditions of their common country, and, above all things, to keep the faith. assure absolutely our national security. I believe in preparedness not only entirely adequate for our defense with respect to numbers and equipment in both army and navy, but with all thoroughness, to the end, that in each branch of the service we have the most competent administrative heads. We are devoted to the ideal of honorable peace. We wish to promote all wise and practicable measures for the just settlement of international disputes. In view of our abiding ideals there is no danger of militarism in this country. We have no policy of aggressiveness, no need for terrestrial warfare, no need for spirit, that we demand adequate provision for national defense, and we condemn the inexactable neglect that has been shown in this matter of first national importance. We must have the strength which self respect, demand, the strength of an efficient nation ready for every emergency. Our preparation must be industrial and economic as well as military. Our severeest (test will come after the war, is the most difficult and least and also the adjustment of the war in accordance with sound protective principles to insure our economic independence and to maintain American standards of living. I deeply appreciate the responsibility you impose. I should have been glad to have that responsibility placed upon him. I should have been able to make grateful for the confidence you express. I sincerely trust that all former differences may be forgotten. I should be grateful to the judicial office, and I am ready to devote myself unreservedly to the campaign. HOW HUGHES WAS NAMED: Whitman Lauded Record of Candidate and Criticised Present Administration. In placing Charles Evans Hughes in nomination for president Governor Charles S. Whitman of New York said: We are assembled here to name the standard hearer of the great Republican party. We are here to name a man who will substitute trained statesmanship for apprentice politics. We are here to select the next president of these United States, a man of a horizontal horizon. Bled. Prefer a lurid flashes of a world war remind us of our own citizens killed and our own flag insulted. To the south we see anarchy encroaching on our borders. At Washington the president watches the task before us an easy one. The country is still at peace, and the maintenance of peace will be plausibly claimed by the Democratic party. A form of prosperity is in the land, and for a time or pause to analyze its causes. The great war in Europe created unusual and temporary markets which stayed for the time the disaster otherwise sure to result from a Democratic tariff. All of all mankind be answered the frightful holocaust of war will end as quickly as it began, and the products of European labor will pour in upon us, undeterred by a tariff barrier. A Nation "Proud to Fight." We must choose a man so great that he may bring home to the people a realization of the artificial character of our temporary prosperity. We must choose a man who will be able to use us safely through the perils that will follow peace. We must choose a man so great that he may meet as a true American the supreme national issues of the home. Our party is rich in men imbued with the true spirit of Americanism. Our party has ever believed that for the maintenance of these principles the nation should be ready, prepared and, should necessity be required, prepared and prepared. We bring to you today the name of a man trained in battle, for the truth, tried and found faithful in the administration of great public trusts, sterling in his Republican faith, from the animosities emanating from the faculties of justice, above suspicion, his public life without a flaw, a great lawyer, an effective campaigner, an able executive, a mature statesman, a learned jurist. He, above all others, combines the essential qualities of this crisis of the party and of the nation. His searching, fearless and epoch making investigation into the management of the company gave the people their first glimpse of his power, courage and idealism. When he was first nominated for governor of the Empire State so great was his hold upon the people, he was able to though every other candidate on the Republican ticket went down to defeat. His nomination here will carry with it its uncertainty of success in New York state. Hughes on Preparedness. In his speeches he has shown his soundness upon the great question of national preparedness. He said: "We are devoted to the interests of the military, no policy of aggression. The maintenance of our safety is sure protection. It is our confidence aim to live in friendship with all nations and to realize the aims of a free government—free from the interruptions of strife and the wants of war. It is entirely consistent with our duty to make adequate provision for our defense and to maintain the efficiency of our army and navy. And this I favor." No one count better express the fundamental doctrine which underlies our national defense. His principles are sound, and he does not dwell upon his recent career. He is not recent patriotic services on the most august of the world's tribunals his magnificent utterances from the bench are the best monument. We have seen him the man of action, the leader of the people of the electorate, the faithful public agent the profound thinker on national issues. The great state of New York, through the life of its governor, offers to the people and party—not only to them, to the great nation—her son, her noblest and her best. I nominate as a Republican candidate for president the United States Charles Evans Hughes. House & Herrmann of all kinds and description, House and Herrmann is the place to visit.

Although March 4 is the date set by law for the inauguration of our presidents, there was one occasion when the rule was not observed, for George Washington was inaugurated on April 30, 1789, instead of March 4. When the constitution had been ratified by the requisite number of states the Continental congress by resolution of Sept. 13, 1788, set the first Wednesday of the following March (March 4, 1780) as the "time for commencing proceedings" under the new form of government. Owing to delays of various kinds, such as difficulties of travel, etc., members of the first congress were very slow to assemble in New York, and a quorum of both houses was not obtained until April 6. The counting of the electoral vote, the notification of Washington and his journey from Mount Vernon to New York took until April 23, and his inauguration was set for April 30. His term of office was, however, construed as having commenced on March 4, the date set by the Continental congress for the inauguration of the new government, and so it came to an end on March 4, 1703, although it lacked nearly two months of the four years provided for by the constitution—New York Times. CATCH THEM AND KILL THEM. Don't Keep Fish Alive After You Get Them Out of the Water. Probably nineteenth of the fishermen hereabouts make the mistake of trying to keep their fish alive after they are caught on the theory that the flesh will taste better after they get home and prepare them for the pan for cooking. They string them and keep them in the water or let them die in the creeel. The custom is a mistake, according to the experts. They declare the best way is to kill the fish the moment it is landed by pushing its head back and thus breaking the neck or giving it a hard blow on the head. Then take a knife and "bleed" them by running the knife blade around the bottom of the gills. "In order to get your fish home without any discoloration," declares a veteran angler, "take along a yard or two of white cheeseclooth, and as soon as the fish is caught kill it and bleed it. Then dampen the cloth and wrap up each fish separately, taking care that no two fish touch each other. "By doing this you will find that the fish will retain all the color marking just as clear and bright as when it was first taken from the water and the fish will be sweet and palatable."—Phila-delphia Ledger. Napoleon's Custodian at St. Helena. Sir Hudson Lowe, the man appointed by England to be the custodian of the emperor, arrived at St. Helena on April 14, 1816. His appearance was not prepossessing. He was extraordinarily thin, with a stiff carriage. He had a long, bony face, blotched with red and scanty hair of a dirty yellow color. His hollow eyes gleamed under thick, reddish eyebrows, but were furtive and restless, never looking straight at any one save by stealth. "That is a bad man," declared Napoleon when he had seen him. "His eye as he examined me was like a hyena's caught in a trap." He really resembled this horrid, sly animal in its walk as well as in hair and eyes. He never sat down when he was talking, but swung about hesitatingly and with abrupt jerks.—"With Napoleon at St. Helena."

Tennyson's famous poem "Crossing the Bar" was written, said his son, in the poet's eighty-first year "on a day in October when we came from Aldworth to Farringford. Before reaching Farringford he had had the 'moaning of the bar' in his mind, and after dinner he showed me the poem written out. "That is the crown of your life's work," said his son, who was the first man after the poet to read "Crossing the Bar" and who passed the first criticism upon it in such fitting and generous language. "It came in a moment," said the poet, and he explained the pilot as the Divine and Unseen, who is always guiding us. A day or two before he died the poet, calling his son to his bedside, said, "Mind you put 'Crossing the Bar' at the end of all editions of my poems."

THE PHILIPIAN JAILER NATURAL LAW Act* 16:19.3) June 18. An Experience With Evil Spirits—Sed Condition of a Slave—Her Enraged Owners Revenge Thameswells Upon St. Paul and Silas—The Missionaries Beaten and Imprisoned—Singing Praises to God Under Adverse Condi- tions—A Well-Timed Earthquake. "Bellere on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shall be saved."—Verse 51. HILE passing daily from Lydia's home to the place of worship outside the gates of Philippi, the mission- aries were met repeatedly by a slave girl possessed of an evil spirit, one of the fallen angel... The spirit, working through her, told fortunes, gave intelligence of lost articles, of future events, etc. Evidently she was well known; and the exercise of her profession brought a large income to a stock company of influential men who owned her For several days this girl followed the missionaries, shouting, "These be the servants of the Most High God, which show unto us the way of salvation!" Of course, the girl did not know St. Paul and his companions; but the evil spirits did. The Apostle was grieved as daily this testimony was given by the girl; for he knew that the evil spirit prompting it would have no respect for the Truth. A fallen angel that had respect for God and for the principles of righteousness would not seek to obsess humanity when it knew that such obsession would be to their injury and was contrary to God's will. St. Paul said not a word to the girl, assuming that she was not accountable. He addressed the spirit as such, commanding it in the name of Jesus to come out of her—just as our Lord and the Apostles, under His instruction, had frequently cast out evil spirits. Matt. 10:11 Mark 5:1-17; Luke 10:17, etc. The Syndicate's Revenge. We can imagine what consternation was aroused amongst the owners of the slave when they found not only that their source of future gain was gone, but that the money invested in this girl was lost; for spirit-possessed slaves had a high market value. They became desperately angry; and, having no hope of getting the evil spirit back into the slave, they took revenge upon those who had financially ruined them. ```markdown ``` Evidently the sym- dicate had influence; for they su- ceeded quickly.

Paul Erorscling a Demon. and Silas were carried before the rulers at the market place. There the syndicate ignored the truth of the matter, and claimed that the missionaries were teaching a religion contrary to the laws of Rome and likely to raise sedition. This was mutine, for the Lord's servants went, according to law, outside the city gates for their worship. The false charge brought upon the missionaries the severest penalties which their judges could inflict. The magistrates rent their garments as indicative of their distress that such a disturbance had occurred, and then ordered the missionaries to be heaten with rods and put into prison. Under these unfavorable circumstances, with backs raw and bleeding, these faithful brethren sang, hymns of praise for the privilege of enduring tribulation for Christ's sake. The Jailer Converted. While the missionaries were singing, an earthquake shock jarred the prison walls, loosed the chains wherewith the prisoners were bound, and released the bars which fastened the doors. The jailer, finding the doors open, supposed that the prisoners had escaped. Knowing that he would be held responsible, he was about to commit sulede, when St. Paul called to him. "Do thyself no harm. We are all here." "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ." By this time the jailer was fully convinced that the missionaries were not ordinary criminals. After he had secured the door, he brought St. Paul and Silas into his own quarters and attended to their comfort. Meantime he heard from them something respecting Jesus, the world's Redeemer. He was convicted of sn, and inquired, "What shall I do to be saved?" The answer came promptly, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ." Then, taking this statement as a text, St. Paul explained to him and his household the Divine Plan of Atonement. The Truth-seed sank into good soil. Those present gratefully accepted the privilege of discipleship—to suffer for Christ's sake. Next morning, the rulers, having learned something of the events of the preceding night, ordered the release of the missionaries. Evidently they realized that they had no just cause against the two. When the order reached the prison, the missionaries sent word back that they were Roman citizens, and that Roman law had been violated in that they had been publicly beaten and illegally condemned. These charges against the magistrates might have gone hard against them. Hence it is not to be wondered at that they came to the prison and brought the missionaries forth publicly, thus conceding that injustice had been done. PARALLELED ON SPIRITUAL PLANE Sowing, Reaping Correspond In Kind, Quality, Quantity. Sow to the Flesh and Reap Corruption. Sow to the Spirit and Reap Life Everlasting—Sow Bountifully and Reap Bountifully—Sow Sparingly and Reap Sparingly—Sow Choicest Seed and Reap Richest Grain—What Shall Our Harvest Be? Indianaapolis, June 11—Pastor Russell gave a very profitable address here today from the text, "He that soweth bountifully shall reap bountifully; and he that soweth sparingly shall reap sparingly." —2 Corinthians 9:6. After illustrating Indianapolis, June 11.—Pastor Russell gave a very profitable address here today from the text, "He that soweth bountifully shall reap bountifully; and he that soweth sparingly shall reap sparingly."—2 Corinthians 9:6. After illustrating his text from na- ture, and showing that reaping corresponds to sowing, not only in kind, but in both quality and quantity, the speaker demonstrated that: the same principle applies on the spiritual plane. Those are: consecrated to God who have received His Holy Spirit, His mind, His disposition, in proportion as they have lived close to Him, following in their Master's footsteps. According to the measure in which these "sow to the Spirit" will they reap the character of Christ, the fruitage of the Holy Spirit. The text suggests that the Lord wishes His people to sow bountiful, but to make sure that they are sowing the right kind of seed. There is a principle of justice running throughout the entire matter. God does not say, "Never mind what you do; I will make it all right; for I know that you are imperfect." The principle constantly operates that whoever sows good seed will reap corresponding blessings, but whoever sows evil seed may expect to reap corresponding injury. While Christ's merit covers the Christian's unwitting mistakes, it does not make up for negligence, carelessness, indifference as to the kind of seed sown. "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." Before those now children of God had left the world, they found that when they lived in accordance with the will of the fallen human nature, the things from which they expected good results gave only disappointment; that antelipses were much better than the realization. They also found that the following of their own will generally yielded bad fruitage. They had sown wrong thoughts; and those, in turn, brought forth more of the same kind. Then wrong thoughts brought forth wrong deeds; and in time the wrong deeds developed a wrong character. After they became God's children, the unholy character had to be demolished and a righteous character erected. Preper Training of Children Proper Training of Children. The Pastor then emphasized the importance of parental training of children. If mothers could only know how much power they have in moulding their children's minds, how carefully would they guard their own mental conditions in order to bring into the world noble, upright children! If vicious passions control, if wrong thoughts are harbored, the child will be born with these evil tendencies; and no matter how hard he may try in after years, to develop a noble character, he must battle against these evil tendencies throughout life. The father also has special responsibility along this line. If he would have noble offspring, not only should he be noble himself, but he should see that the mother has proper associations, environment, care and attention. Peculiar responsibility in this direction rests upon Christian parents. As they come to see the principles of God's government, their minds should be filled with thoughts of justice, righteousness, love. These thoughts should be reflected upon their children, who would thus be taught of God. Meekness, gentleness, patience, longsuffering, kindness, love are traits that parents should carefully cultivate. These are qualities of the Holy Spirit which God expects all His children to develop richly in heart and life. Whatever wronghabits we may have had before we became Christians, God expects us to eradicate these as rapidly as possible by His grace. As beauty of character is manifested by parents, it will be noticed by the children; for children are very quick of discernment and generally have a keen sense of justice. Seemingly much of the disrespect of parents' prevalent today and the neglect of parents' in their old age result from parental neglect in earlier days. Many parents are reaping the harvest of their own failure to train their children properly early in life. God's Children Carefully Trained. What is thus true of children is true of Christians as God's children. As soon as we enter His family, He puts us to school, daily to learn lessons of meekness, patience, gentleness, brotherly kindness, love. Thus we become like our Lord Jesus, who always delighted to do the Father's will. It is well for us as Christians to remember that the responsibility of our character development rests with us. God supplies the seed and tells us how to sow it; but He does not sow it for us.

LITCHFERD, PROPRIETOR Of its Size in the Country Owned by a Negro—Is Opened at Columbus, Ohio—The New Litchford with Fifty Guest Rooms. and All Modern Accessories Opened for the Accommodation of Guests Without Distinction of Race or Color. Special to The Bee. Columbus, Ohio.—One of the greatest achievements showing race progress in Ohio is the opening of the handsome new Litchford Hotel in this city. The Litchford Hotel is a handsome three story, fire-proof building with a frontage of forty feet and a depth of 192 feet. It is located at 90 North Fourth street, at the corner of Fourth and Elm streets, being right in the heart of this bustling, growing Ohio capital city of FINEST HOTEL 250,000 population. It is built of buff pressed brick, has all modern conveniencies, spacious lobby, fine dining and grill rooms, fifty guest rooms, elegantly furnished, and all modern accessories known for a modern hotel. When it was thrown open to the public more than two thousand ladies and gentlemen of both races surged through it on inspection, all pronouncing it one of the finest hotels of its size in the country. Wm. Litchford, the sole owner and proprietor, beginning life about twenty-five years ago a penniless colored boy, conceived the idea of some day erecting a fine hotel that would show no discrimination in the accommodating of his race. He worked hard husbanded his earnings, always keeping in mind his youthful idea, of a hotel, and today that hotel has become a full realization, and is the finest, largest and most modern hotel in the country that accommodates colored and white guests on an equality. Usually large hotels are built by companies or corporations, but the Litchford was built and is owned exclusively by this progressive negro. So obsessed has been Mr. Litchford with the idea of providing a hotel for his race equal to the best of its size, built by white men, that he has never stopped to consider matrimony and is still numbered among the "heart-whole and fancy-free" contingent. Not only is the New Litchford hotel an evidence of race progress but it is a distinct credit to this growing, hustling middle west city and all the white dailies in this section have spoken in high praise of the beauty, elegance, conveniences of this modern hotel, and of this negro, who, beginning life penniless, has erected this handsome hostelry with his own earnings. There is nothing, the traveling public say, in the country owned by a colored man to compare with it, and few hotels of its size owned by whites to equal or surpass it. HOTEL NEWS. R. DeReef Miller. J. When Uncle Sam issued orders to his employees last Tuesday that they were either to march in the preparedness parade or work it caused a great deal of discontent to the fellow that had planned to go fishing or had planned to work at some restaurant or club extra for the day. Many of these popular gentlemen were seen with a flag in their hat and one on his shoulder and their faces did not have the patriotic touch of '76 on them, either. The past week has placed a great portion of the national affairs centered in Washington and St. Louis in the two cities that been celebrating with flags and bunting, speech making and other holiday features. Visitors came from far and near to see the great, prepardness parade, after which the restaurants were kept busy until late in the night. On the registers of many of the local hotels could be seen the names of many prominent people who came to honor the flag with the populace of Washington and vicinity. August A. Busch, the "beer king," at St. Louis, made a name for himself when he invited 200 newspaper men as guests to his country home. It is a true saying that "Schlitz made St. Louis famous" and from all reports "Bubwieser will make the newspapers famous." While a brewery wagon was supplying one of the hotels with the cooling beverage last Tuesday a bellman tacked a large sign on one of the kegs which was "Preparedness." Palm. Beach suits made a big hit at Chicago, but there is a fellow in St. Louis, we understand, that has one that far surpasses Bill Lacey's and that is the alternate from New York city; his Palm Beach has red cuffs on the trousers. Lamar, the "Wolf of Wall Street," whose presence in the lobbies, restaurants and streets of this city has been greatly missed, has been assigned to the tailoring department of the Federal prison in Atlanta, Georgia. REPUBLIÇAN COLOR LINE IN THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA In the Tribune of May 20, we published as an editorial leader an article headed, "Republican Factions in the District of Columbia," every statement, made by us being true, and every conclusion based upon facts. We have recieved a frothy and irate communication/from one Dr. Edward Franklin Harris, of Washington, who identifies himself as former secretary to tolte Sigma and manager of first Negro Mask and Wig by Students of Washington, D., C. He says he is a resident and taxpayer of Washington. We dispute none of the claims nor the identification, but we decline to publish the article because it is amateurish, slushy, and over cock-sure and a bit insolent. Dr. Harris says that the Hogan-Willettson advertisement drawing the color line, which we quoted, did not appear in the Washington Daily Herald, and was not paid for by the Hogan-Willettson people. We do not know who paid for it, but we do know that it appeared in the Daily Herald, and that the associate editor of The Tribune, cut it out of the advertising columns of the Washington Daily Herald. That is all that Dr. Harris knows about it. His other contentions and conclusions as to the facts and views stated by us are equally puerile and insolent. There has been nothing worthy and commendable about the Republican politics and politicians of the District of Columbia since, they first came under our observation and condemnation in 1874, when we appeared there from Florida, when Republican politics were rotten and stenchful enough, and we have been a close student of conditions in the District of Columbia ever since. What we don't know about those conditions in Washington we shall not need to inquire, of Dr. Edward Franklin Harris, who has a very great deal to forget in order that he may learn a little bit. The Tribune is a National newspaper, and the District of Columbia is a legitimate field in which it has a perfect right to make note and comment on what happens in it, and that, too, without asking or needing the permission of Dr. Edwar Franklin Harris.—From the Philadelphia, Pa.
