THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT THE FASHION OF THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY Madame Anita Patti Brown OF CHICAGO, ILL. The World's Celebrated Soprano Singer TWELTH YEAR Madame Anita OF CHICA The World's Celebration Colored Voters Should Vote For The Man And Not The Party A Pointed Letter On The Political Situation of the Day Wichita, Kansas, Sept. 27, 1910. Hon. W. N. Miller. Dear Sir: I have carefully read your article of September 24, subject, "Colored Man—Republican Party." While I cannot agree fully with your article, I must, in fairness to you, compliment you upon its force, diction and sincerity. Without flattery I admit that your article of September 24 was one of the best "Republican" articles I have ever read. I am a republican and believe in republican principles—such as those which gave birth to the Republican party—the principles of Lincoln, Grant and McKinley. The so-called Republican party of today, so far as the negro is concerned, has not those principles. In "bleeding" Kansas, the home of that sacred martyr, John Brown, whose "soul goes marching on," the Republican party of today has shoved the negro aside, in Sedgwick county, what hope does the present day Republicans hold out to the negro voters? What act of the Republican party of this county would commend itself to and appeal to the negro voters for their suffrage? ```markdown ``` There is none! The Republican party of this county, so far as the negro is concerned, is rotten to the core; and there is no more reason why the negroes of this county should vote for the Republican ticket and its nominees any more than there is that they should vote for the Democrats. What recognition has the present Republican officeholders shown the negroes of this county more than has the present Democratic officeholders? I believe in fair play. In your article you very carefully say, "We do not say the negroes should never leave the Republican party, but we do say this: Until they find a political party that will do "more for them" and accord them "better treatment" they should stay where they are now." How can the negroes of this state or county expect any other political party to do "more for them" or accord them "better treatment" if the negroes continue with the Republican party that is only making empty promises? This is evident—no political party can do "less" for the negro than is the Republican party. Take yourself for an instance: For several years you have for 365 days out of each year espoused and defended the cause of the present day Republicans, yet what recognition, what marks of appreciation has the Republicans as a party or as men, shown to you? And what is true in your individual case, is also COMING TO WICHITA The Greatest Coloratura Soprano Soloist now traveling amongst the Negro race. In addition to this natural gift, she has had several years of the best training under competent teachers at The Chicago Musical College. Hear what F. Ziegfeld, President of the Chicago Musical College says of her. "Mme Anita Patti Brown has a fine Soprano Voice and sings with great taste and should find no difficulty in obtaining Concert engagements." Be sure and hear this wonderful song-bird in A RECITAL, assisted by our own excellent home talent at GARFIELD HALL, WEDNESDAY NIGHT, OCTOBER 19TH. 1910 Buy your ticket early so you can get a good seat and avoid the big rush at the doors true as to the race. Then again, what specialty is there to the Republican nominees to give them such special right to the negro vote? I submit that most of the men on the Republican ticket—as on the Democratic and other tickets—are gentlemen of the first type—but I also say that this is not the time for the negroes of this community to vote for any man for high office whose past reputation for sobriety can in any wise be questioned whether that man be a nominee on the Republican or any other ticket. In this the negroes should avoid a very dangerous pitfall. Let any man who will take the time visit the county building and make a leisurely stroll from office to office and from the standpoint of the presence of a negro in any of these offices one cannot tell the offices held by Democrats from those held by professed Republicans. Then wherein is the difference? What and why is the negro voting continuously with and for the Republicans who show them from year to year that they are only needed during campaign time? No political party can do less for them than the Republican aprty is doing. While I am not a Democrat, why should I vote for the Republicans? If the negro is good enough to vote with and for these Republicans and help get them into office—fairness would say that they are good enough to draw with those Republicans the fruits of the victory. While I am sure, Mr. Editor, that you are sincere in your article, yet I believe there is ample reason why the negroes should not vote as a whole with and for the Republicans this year. Let us try some one else once. Now, Mr. Editor, I realize that it costs money to publish your paper, and to publish this article and I enclose three dollars (one $2 bill and one $1 bill) to pay for same, trusting to you that should you not publish this article to return the money to me. Trusting you will publish this letter in full, I remain sincerely, DAVID G. HOWARD. N. B.—I will send you another article later. WEIR, KANSAS.

While the Net Operating Revenues Was $110,306,000 Greater Than the Previous Year. Chicago, Ilinois.—An increase of $836,000,000 in the total gross earnings of the railroads of the United States in the year ending June 30, 1910, over those of the preceding year is shown by figures received from Washington by the Interstate Commerce commis- sioners, holding court here to ascer- tain whether an increase in freight rates is to be permitted. Total gross earnings of alt the railroads, embrac- ing 236,690 miles, in the last fiscal Year were $2,799,250,000, an increase of 13.7 per cent. Total net operating revenue of all the roads last year was $938,--.,UvU showing an increase of $110,306,000, or 13.3 per cent. It is said that the Interstate Com- merce commission never was able to get total figures compiled so quickly after the close of the fiscal year as they have expedited the tabulations so as to use the figures in connection with the present hearing on freight rates, NO MONEY SHORTAGE NOW The Banks Have Fortified Themselves ‘and, the Crops are Proving to be Abundant. Washington, D, C.—It is unlikely that there will be any shortage of money this fall anywhere in the United States, according to the- view of the treasury department. In its opinion the danger mark, if there act- ually has been one several months past, has been left astern. The depart- ment officials give these reasons for the prediction of plentiful money: Primarily the banks saw what look- ed like a money shortage coming sev- eral months ago. They have piled up gold, built up reserves and cut down risky loans and bonds or other securities, which might not be easy to sell have been turned into money. Nearly every crop in this country this year is reported to be a bumper one. Corn will set a new record, Four-fifths of the crop has been gath- ered, so the chances of loss from frost is small. The oat crop is the greatest in years. The cotton crop will be 1, 000,000 bales greater than it was last year. 5 EXTENDS THE CIVIL SERVICE Assistant Postmasters are to Come in and Congress May Include Second and Third Class Postmasters. Washington, D. C.—The tirst definite result of the present cabinet sessions in Washington was the an- nouncement that President Taft will issue an executive order extending the civil service to include all assistant postmasters. The president also will reccmmend to congress that second and third class postmasters be placed urder civil service, This action is in tine with Postmaster General Hiteheack’s recommendations. Some 8,000 ass:st- ant postmasters will be affected. Coroner's Jury Names Crippen. London, England—The coroner's fury returned a verdict of willful muz- der against Dr. Hawley H. Crippen in| connection with the finding ia tie Crippen home last July of the multi- lated body supposed to be that of Crippen’s wife, who was known on the stage as Belle Elmore. | tpt leans @ ae eabione Washington, D.

No Interest in School Contracts. Topeka, Kansas.—That members of | a school board cannot become in- terested in school contracts is the substance of a decision handed down by the attorney general. The American Sugar Refining Com- pany Will be Charged With Viola- tion of Anti-Trust Laws. Washington, D, C.—Orders trom the attorney general to District At torney Wise in New York to smash the sugar trust have gone out and the action will be filed there within a week. An amended and much shorter peti- tion, though much more comprehen- sive in its charges has been prepared after a conference between the at- torney general, District Attorney Wise, Special Attorney Stimson and Mr. McReynolds. It charges the sugar trust with violation of the Sherman anti-trust law and the court is asked to dissolve the trust and issue an in- Junction restraining the American Sugar Refining company of New Jer- sey from voting the shares of the subsidiary companies pending the redistribution of these shares among their original owners. The action will be in all respects similar to that which resulted in the smashing of the Standard Oil company in the United States circuit courts and in a general way it resembles the action against the tobacco trust. SHOULD RE-TAKE MINERAL LANDS. Gifford Pinchot Believes Southern Pacific Has No Right to Vast Oil Fields. Los Angeles, Cal—Guford Pin- chot, former chief forester of the United States threw a bombshell into the American Mining congress here when he submitted a report of his investigation in the Califorzia oil fields, in which he strongly urged the United States government to re-take the mineral lands in the oil fields which were granted years ago to the Southern Pacific railroad. These hold- ings of the Harriman railroads have been estimated by some to be worth more than the entire Harriman rail- road system itself. A BLACKLIST LAW UPHELD Thomas Fitzmartin Awarded $10,000 Damages Against St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad Co. Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.—Okla- homa’s new law forbidding the black- listing of discharged employes by rail- road companies was invoked to the benefit of the defendant when a jury awarded damages in the sum of $10,- 006 to Thomas Fitzmartin who was discharged from the St. Louis & San Francisco railroad in 1908. A Suit to Stop Bootlegging. Oklahoma City, Okiahoma—Fred 8. Caldwell, state prohibition law en- forcement attorney, filed a suit in the superior court asking that an injunc- tion be issued against railway com- panies, express companies, draymen and others delivering intoxicating liquors to persons holding internal revenue licenses for selling liquor in violation of the state law. Asks a C. & O. Receiver. Logansport, Indiana.—Suit has been filed in the Cass county circuit court here asking that a receiver be appointed for the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad and that the charter of the company be revoked and the corpor- ation be dissolved. Fraud is charged in filing of a recent mortgage. Secretary Wilson Pleaced. Washington, D.

He talked about the condi- tion of the country as he has seen it in the last few months. A Forest Fire in Texas. Rockland, Texas.—Hundreds of acres of valuable pine forest, 2 num- ber of farmhouses and other property have been destroyed by a forest fire that has been raging in this section the last four days. Coffeyville to Get Armory. Coffeyville, Kansas—Coffeyville will get the first armory to be built under the new law providing for the build- ing of armories in Kansas. The com- missioners will call an election for the voting of $10,000. ee MR. TAFT IS WITH BALLINGER He Feets That a Conspiracy Has Been Formed to Persecute an Honest Official. Washington, D. C.—Secretary Bal- inger's resignation was not presented at the first full cabinet meeting. What is more to the point, no resigna- tion from; the secretary is expected. Finally, if the secretary did not hand in his resignation based on the is- sues of the Baliinger-Pinchot contro- versy, President Taft would promptly refuse to accept it. The president stands flatly with his secretary of the interior. He believes that Ballinger has been maligned and persecuted by a combination that closely resembles a conspiracy; and if the view of the president is cor- rectly interpreted by his friends, Mr. | Taft proposes to show in this matter | that it is not possible to hound an honest official from public office [through a conspiracy deliberately faa tyr thse gecnoee | pu TO BE A RECORD CATTLE SHOW The American Royal Will Have More Exhibits This Year Than Ever Before. Kansas City, Mo—In the twelva years of its existence the American Royal Live Stock Show each year has shown increases in the quality and number of animals shown, and this year—the twelfth—some of the cattle classes have gained nearly 100 per cent over the showing made in the 1909 show. At the present the pura bred classes and those of fat stock have 1,100 animals entered. In every class the increase has kept up. This number does not include the feeder classes which will be shown in carlots and will augment the total by several thousand. More than 100 draft and coach horses have been entered. Many ot the winners at the largest state faire and several of the first prize winner at the world’s fairs of St. Louis and Paris will be here. A NATIONAL CREDIT BUREAU The Government Plans to Protect Na tional Banks of the Country From Borrowers. Washington, D. C.—In order te prevent corporations, firms and indi viduals from borrowing to the extent of their credit in their own cities then going elsewhere and doing the same. Comptroller Murray has de cided upon the establishment of a cen tral credit bureau in Washington iz which will be recorded all such bor rowings from national banks. ‘The credit bureau will be located in the office of the comptroller. The ne- cessity for its establishment arises from the fact that very often the local borrowings of institutions are to the extent of their ability to pay and if obligations of which the national bank examiners have no knowledge exist in other districts the effect is to impair the solvency of the national banks holding the paper. TREAT ALL CANDIDATES ALIKE Congressional Campaign Committee Makes no Distinction Between In- surgents and Regulars. Chicago, Ilinois—A decision to give insurgents as well as standpat- ters a square deal in the congressional campaign work for the elections throughout the country this fall has been reached by the Republican con- gressional campaign committee. Im addition the action of the commit: tee is interpreted in political circles as a renewed tender of the Olive branch to the insurgents—a sort of corollary to President Taft’s recent ukase assuring insurgent congress- men and senators that they will get official consideration at the White house in the distribution of federal offices LABOR QUESTIONS AT BALLOT BOX Railway Unions Vote to Place Their Own Interests Above Party Loyalty. New York, N. Y.—For the first time in the history of railway unions members and delegates representing 308,000 men of the four great divisions of railway employes in the East voted unanimously at a meeting here to take concerted action in national and state politics. “The proper place to settle ques- tions affecting labor is at the ballot box,” said Warren S. Stone of Cleve- land, O., grand chief of the Brother- hood of Locamotive Engineers. What- ever your political affiliations, do not let party lines blind you to your true interest or prevent you from doing what you think is best and right. Chaves Gets Half the Prize.

Many housewives have numerous ways of serving left-over meats, but the vegetdble is either thrown away or appears just as it was served the day before, Corn may be prepared as an es- calloped dish or put into a potato or other vegetable salad to the advantage of the latter. A cupful will make sut- cient corn oysters for four people. Add a tablespoonful of milk, a beat- en egg. and flour with baking powder well sifted to make them hold togeth- er, then fry in hot fat. A small quantity of tomatoes may be added to a soup, a meat sauce or an escalloped dish of corn. Cold string beans make an excel- lent salad: Add a teaspoonful of chopped onion to a cupful of string beans with salt and pepper to taste. Cut aslice of bacon into dice and fry; pour the fat over the beans, then add @ quarter of a cupful of hot vinegar, and serve. Cheese added to creamed string beans changes the dish to one quite new. A few peas may be added to the broth of a mutton stew and served with {t, making a dish most palatable. Scalloped onions are especially nice prepared with cold boiled onions; fla- vor with cheese. A green pea omelet is a most dell- efous luncheon dish. Drain a cupful of cold cooked peas, mash and season. When the omelet is ready to serve spread the peas over one-half and fold. Serve on a hot platter. | | Turnips and squash may be sea- ‘soned and baked. : Cabbage is good treated as the string Deans were, with hot bacon fat and vinegar. | Celery ts very nice cooked and served in a white sauce. ‘Tomato toast is a nice way to serve a little leftover tomator: Take a cupful of boiling hot tomatoes, season with butter, salt and pepper. Stir in three well-beaten eggs and a half cup- ful of hot cream. Serve on buttered toast. Several vegetables together often “makes a very acceptable dish; such as potatoes, a sprinkling of onions, a cupful of tomatoes and a few peas, with a little chopped roast beef. The dish is ready after a half-hour’s ba- King, fit to set before the king. ze Ay) SD oes NOI afhctm , Pk 4 C7 OW ts the Ge; ahy-trena, no ieee cae G0. sont optievfealise. ana ee or ee rorneeglecmen ates te) acejearw oo er ries aay ait meet oa tatoo) coking a : New ta the Time, Apples. ples baked, fried, apple sauce, apple Jelly and apple butter are good old standbys.

Take them out and set aside until perfectly cold. Lay a dozen split lady fingers or small sponge cakes in a glass dish, and moisten them with a little orange juice.

Pour this mixture over the apples, after having put a teaspoonful of sugar into each apple. Bake well, covered until ten- der, uncover and heap on them a meringue made of the whites of three eggs beaten stiff and two tablespoon- fuls of powdered sugar added, brown in the oven and serve either hot or cold. Parisian Applies. A dainty and attractive way of serving apples is to pare them and cut with a small potato cutter into balls. Put them at once over the fire and cook in water, sugar and a little lemon juice. When the balls are ten- der, before they lose their shape aeap them on rounds of buttered toast which have been spread with apple jelly.

Let nuts take the place of meats, as they will be found both satisfying and economical. Chilled fruits are the most wholesome of all desserts; but for those who care for more elaborate, dishes, here are a few which will re- ward your efforts: Peaches En Surprise. Soften two tablespoonfuls of gelay tine in half a cupful of cold water and) dissolve in a cupful of hot cream. Addl two-thirds of a cupful of powdered. sugar and strain into a dish set in pan of crushed ice; stir until it beging to congeal. Add a teaspoonful of orange extract, a few drops of saffron to give it a dainty yellow; pour into a pint of whipped cream and lightly fold the mixtures together. Line a large mould with strips of angel cake. Put a little of the cream mixture in the bottom of the mould and on each strip of cake to hold it in place. Hava at hand some diced-ripe peaches gen erously sprinkled with sugar and lem on juice, fill the mould nearly full, then pour in the cream. Bury in ica and salt for three hours. ‘The following will be a dessert that is at least uncommon: Creole orange cream with almonds in a double boiler, put two cupfuls of water, the juice of four oranges, tha rind of two, and two cupfuls of sugar and the beaten yolks of ten eggs. Stir until the mixture thickens. Put into a freezer and stir until half frozen, then add the beaten whites of fiva eggs and one cupful of blanched shred, ded and browned almonds. Finish freezing, then stand packed for twa hours. Creme de Menthe Sandwiches. ‘These are a fine accompaniment fon cold lamb. Steep two tablespoonfuls of mint leaves in a little cold water, strai nand add to a pint of whipped cream, season with salt and pepper and add half an ounce of gelatine softened in a tablespoonful of cold water.

The editor of the Searchlight wishes to pass a compliment on the mothers of colored school children for the neatness and tidiness with which most of the colored children attended the first week of school. The editor made it his special mission to drive around to the various schools during recess and at other times when he would not attract attention and took a close observation of the dress and personal appearance of the colored children and to the credit of the colored mothers we say that in most cases their children in dress and personal appearance compared favorably with the other children. Only two or three cases came to our notice which might call for comment—and in these cases the editor will take the subject up personally with the parents. May we say to the mothers that you cannot send your child to school too neat and tidy. The neater and more tidy,the better. This, of course, does not mean superflous nonsensities. You understand. We shall a little later on make a few personal mention of neat and tidy colored school children.

Meet me at Monday Night Dancing School at Masonic Hall. STIRRED A HORNET'S NEST. The strong republican article in the Searhclight last week has brought forth mcuh comment in colored circles on politics and political parties. We publish this week one letter, which is the type of sixteen up to date (Wednesday) which the editor has received touching on this subject. The letter referred to speaks for itself. Beside these letters numerous members of our race seem to voice the same sentiment and there seems to b an undercurrent of unrest among the colored voters at this time on account of the treatment accorded them by the republican party, both state and county. It must be admitted, that in a measure, there is ample room for this complaint by the colored voters. And the republicans can blame no one but themselves for any reason for this complaint to exist. We acknowledge the compliment paid us by the writer and our timidity precludes further comment by us. We say to the writer of this letter and to any others of our race, that the columns of the Searchlight are always open for an expression of their opinion on public questions, whether that opinion agrees with us or not. We rather invite a free and open discussion of these issues and men and "let the chips fall where they will." By this doing the race will be the more able to cast their vote intelligently and to the best interest of the race as a whole. It now looks as though some of the colored voters are going to bolt part of the Republican ticket this year. How far it will extend it is hard to say. If they do the republicans can blame no one but themselves. The shoddy treatment of the colored voters by the republican party is alone to blame. Loking the situation fairly and squarely in the face, one cannot blame the colored voters of this scounty for complaining against the republican organization this year. They have not been fairly treated—that is sure. Roosevelt said: "Vote for the man and not for the party." "There is not a "straight" republican newspaper in Sedgwick county this year. They are either "independent," "On-the-Fence" or "Democratic." What does this mean? What is going to happen? What is wrong? To the keen thinker some one is going to dream dreams. Some men who aspire for political preferment should withhold their abuse of other men until 'after the election' at least. In the contest it will be demonstrated that some fellows will need ecvry single vote they can get "and then some." The election is not here yet--you see!

Much public at- tention has of late been attracted to Arizona and New Mexico in connection with their ad- mission to statehood, and one gratifying result of this has been a greatly increased interest 4n their resources and conditions. Excluding the populous and thrifty coast region of southern California, the southwest Is the most thinly populated and least developed portion of the country south of Alaska. As this condition is due mainly to a climate so arid that but little can be raised without irrl- gation, its future development is to be meas- ured by the utilization of the vast volume ot flood waters now going to waste. This water can be applied to millions of acres of level lands with rich soil, which with the unending yours Wave In the inland districts the mining industry is the largest source of revenue. Por- tions of the southwest are richly productive of various minerals, notably those of copper, and Fecently southern California has become a heavy producer of petroleum. The value of the copper, oil and other products of the ground aggregates about $75,000,000 a year. It is probable that further exploration will disclose large additional supplies of ores of various kinds, especially those of low grade, which will prove profitable under improved methods of reduction. The southwest presents a variety of topo- graphic features, and many of its economic resources are closely related to them. There is great range in altitude, with corresponding variation in climatic conditions. One of the most salient features 1s the wide, high plateau of northern Arizona, which reaches an alti- tude of 8,000 feet. It is surmounted by vari- ous volcanic peaks, notably San Francisco peak, which {s 12,611 feet above sea level. To the east this district merges into an frregular series of high plateaus, constituting the western half of New Mexico. To the west and south it drops by huge steps into the great region of desert valleys or bolsoms of Nevada, western Arizona, and southeastern California. These deserts are wide, long plains, lying between mountain ridges of varying lengths and heights, ridges which are all very rocky and mostly treeless and trend north and’south. Diagonally across southern California there extends the long curving ridge of the Sierra Madre and San Bernardino mountains, be- tween which and the ocean lies the large oval area known as the valley of southern Califor- nia. This valley Is the great citrus fruit dis- trict, and Los Angeles. ‘There are two great rivers In the south- west, the Colorado and the Rio Grande. The Colorado river has been compared to the Nile and the similarity is notable. Both are streams of the first rank, rising In high moun- tains, and finally crossing a broad region of semi-tropical, nearly rainless deserts. Both empty into seas in nearly the same latitude, and their lower courses are through wide del- tas of fertile soil. The annual overflows add new sediments fertile with plant food and at a time favorable for the crops. ‘The agricultural capabilities are closely similar, but whfle much of the lower Nile val- Jey is utilized the Colorado valley is just be- ginning to be settled. .The watershed area ot the Colorado, with its two head branches, the Green and the Grand, is over 200,000 square miles, its course 2,000 miles in length, and its annual discharge 1s 11,000,000 acre-feet, or enough to cover that number of acres one foot deep. ‘The sediment which it carries each year into the gulf is estimated to be sufficient to cover 53 square miles one foot deep. For 200 miles of its course across the high plateau of northeastern Arizona it cuts the wonderful Grand canyon, which in places is nearly a mile deep.

Unfortunately, there fs not enough water for all the land, but there is sufficient, if all were utilized, to support a population many times as. large ‘as the present one. The government is now spending $12,000,000 in reclamation projects in Arizona and New Mex- ico which supply water for nearly one-half mil- lion acres of fertile lands. This will give great impetus to devel- opment, and in time, when settlers take up the reclaimed land, there will be a large increase in its agricul- tural productions, In the great coast region of southern Cal- ffornia, with a popula- tion of nearly 600,000, the principal product is the orange and oth- er fruits, with a value of about $20,000,000 a Bc Nr ee : SOL isameadne baie Re Ae ae | Caen oe oe a Re eae Oi Si FR ice ee Bh J Perse.

Most portions of the average desert bear an extensive, though Somewhat widely spaced, flora. Many desert regions contain numerous settlements, the Sa- hara desert for instance having a population ‘of 2,500,000. Loose sand is a minor feature, and much more prevalent on the seacoasts and along the bottom lands of rivers. There are wide areas of bare rocks, and the larger des- erts include mountains, ridges, mesas and deep canyons. The deserts of the southwest are regions of very scanty rainfall, parts of them having only: three inches a year and evaporation of eighty inches or more. ‘This canyon is the miledeep gorge cut by the Colorado river across the high plateau of northern Arizona. The view from the rim reveals the most stupendous panorama tmag- inable, for one sees into an area of about 600 square miles filled with an endless variety of most rugged topographic forms of many beau- tiful colors. On the sky-line, ten to fifteen miles away, is the edge of a wide-reaching pla- teau, and in the middle ground of the picture flows the Colorado river, nearly a mile below one’s feet. ‘The features are so gigantic and so plainly in view that all sense of scale is lost,-and it 1s not until one has been down to the bottom of the canyon at the river level that any adequate sense of proportion can be gained. ‘The canyon was discovered by Cardenas, who went to its edge in 1540 on a branch trip from Coronado’s expedition, on information ob- tained by Tovar from the Hopi Indians. The original name given to the river was Tison, Spanish for firebrand, and it is to be regretted that the name has not been retained to avoid the present confusion due to the river having the same name as the state. : Coon butte, another of the greatest wonders in our country, is also situated in the south- west, but owing to its distance from the rail- road it {s seldom visited.

They live in villages of sev- eral hundred inhabitants, in substantial stone or adobe houses, some of which are in groups, rising in tiers to a height of four or five sto- ries, with streets and central plaza. They are peaceful and industrious, raising crops largely by irrigation. They have herds of cattle and sheep, and spinning, weaving and making their garments is one of their importaht occu- pations. Work appears evenly divided between men and woman in the queblos. The men do the farming, tend to the cattle and sheep, do the hunting, build the houses, and have many dry air and mild climate the southwest has be- come famous as a health resort, especially for those having tuberculosis of the respiratory or- gans. The percentage of cures made in New Mexico, Arizona and California, great as it is, would be much greater if a larger proportion of those who are seeking health cafe in time. It is necessary to come before the vitality is too greatly diminished and then to live under favorable conditions, the most essential of which is to be out of doors as much as pos- sible. Many health-seekers spend most of their money in railroad fare to reach the desired resorts. Physicians do a great wrong to pa- tients in sending them so far from home, friends and care without means to provide suitable quarters, nourishment and attention to sustain them while making their fight against death. . The climate of the southwest presents con- siderable variety, but in all the lower lands the winters are delightfully mild, and every- where blue sky is in evidence for more than 300 days in the year. The summers ‘are warm; in the southern desert area they are decidedly hot for several months, but the dry air even then {s much more endurable than the sultry summer weather of the eastern and central states. Sunstroke 1s unknown, and laborers continue their work without distress. The valley of southern California is pro- tected from the cold northern winds of winter by high mountain ranges, while to the south it is open to the Pacific. Owing to the pecu- lar configuration of the coast the cold Call- fornia current from the north is deflected west near Point Conception, and hence the south- ern California shores have waters warmer by about ten degrees than those to the north, This beneficent climate is responsible for the giant industry of fruit growing which has made California famous over the globe, Call fornia furnishes the major part of the very large amount of oranges and other citrus fruits consumed in the United States, and this business has been the potent cause in the development of southern California, The orange and other citrus fruits of southern Californla have an output of about 30,000 carloads a year, with a net value of more than $15,000,000. East of the mountains in southern Califor nia is an extensive desert country, much of it without water, but large areas can be reached by ditches from the Colorado river The most notable district of the sort of in the Salton desert, near the Mexican boundary. A few years ago this was a lonely and forbid. ding region, but now, by aid of irrigation from the Colorado river. it has several thriving settlements, with 100,000 people and 200,000 acres of cultivated land. -That portion of it known as Imperial valley has the greatest development, and with rich soil and semi-trop- Seal climate phenomenal results have been ob. tained when water 1s applied. One of the best known products of this region is the canteloupe, of which the annual shipments are over 1,800 cars, bringing nearly a million dollars. This valley contains over 400,000 acres of land, and just across the Mex. fean line are 200,000 more.

Canyon de Chelly is one of the most notable scenic features in Arizona, but it is so far off the main line of trav- el that it fs rare- ly visited. It is cut deeply Into soft sandstones, which rise in ver- tical wails, with many outlying pinnacles and monuments, ORM ee red tures appear also in the great wall of red sandstone on the north side of the wide de- pression through which the Santa Fe railroad crosses the continental divide east of Gallup. One of the most remarkable pinnacles of this wall is fancifully termed the Navajo Church. Few persons who travel across the south- west realize that in Arizona and New Mexico there are enormous forests of valuable timber and that the lumbering is an important indus- try. In both territories there arc several large forest reservations, and one of these in _Ari- zona, the Coconino forest, with nearly 6,000 square miles, is the largest single reserve in the United States. The total forest area re- served in Arizona is 15,250,130 acres, or more than 24,090 square miles, and in New Mexico there are 10,971,711 acres, or more than 17,000 square miles, Southern California also has several large reserves. ‘The Coconino forest in Arizona occupies part of the great plateau in which the Grand Canyon is cut, and extends to the brink of the canyon. ‘The visitor to the southwest usually takes keen interest in the Indians, who are numer- ‘ous not only along the main lines of travel, but in many remote villages. Some tribes, notably the Apaches, who continued to be troublesome until a relatively recent date, have become famous for the misdeeds that ma- terially retarded the development of Arizona and western New Mexico. Now, however, all is peace and tranquillity. The newspapers, es- pecially eastern ones, occasionally print ac- counts of uprisings, but these prove to be local quarrels with a few individuals. The Indians of the southwest are of two Kinds, differing-greatly in most of their char- acteristics. One is the nomad type, represent ed by the Apaches, Navajos, the Yumas, Pa- pagoes and Pimas, and smaller tribes; the other is the pueblo type, which ts comprised of 26 pueblos, or villages, scattered through central and western New Mexico, and in the Hopi reserve, in northwestern Arizona. Probably there “is greater popular interest in the pueblo people, for their settlements are smaller trades and occupations. The women do the house- work, grind the corn, make pottery, blankets and clothes. The visitor 1s generally impressed by the pueblo people and pleased with the agreeable home life and sim- ple hospitality which they readily offer. The interesting features of the southwest, notably the beauty of the coast region and the special climatic ad- vantages, draw a lerge number of tourists and health- seekers, especially in winter, and every year sees a substan- tial Increase in the influx of visitors. pa ea ie AFTER SUFFERING FORYE while w«.) rears while passing | rough the Change of Life and we hardly able to by Around.

The Princeds Windischgratz ts the granddaughter of the emperor of Aus. tria. When she was but about eleven years old she was known and loved as “the little Princess Elizabeth.” There lived a baker in the city of Vienna whose wife was particularly fond of the little Princess Elizabeth, ‘This baker's wife had, in 1894, a tiny white dwarf dog given her, which was so small that, when full-grown, tt could sit on a lady's hand. So small a dog had never been seen before, and people often came to the house on purpose to look at It. It was Christmas eve. ‘The baker's wife dressed herself in her Sunday best, put the dog in a basket lined with pink satin, and went to the pal ace where Elizabeth lived. No strang- er was allowed to go into the palace except by permission. She showed the dog to the guards, and they were 80 delighted with it that they man- aged to get her into the palace, and when once in, it was not very difficult to obtain permission from the court authorities to see Princess Stephanie, the mother-of the little Princess Ellza- beth. “Your royal highness,” said the baker's wife, “I hope that you will al- low me to present a little gift to your daughter this Christmas eve”; and then she uncovered the basket with the tiny white dog in it. Wasn't the Princess Stephanie de- lighted with it? And of course the little Princess Elizabeth was. She loved it more than any of the rich gifts which she received for Christ. mas. The dog remained very small and never grew to be more than five inches high. A LITTLE HERO.

AGENTS WANTED. The Qualint Belluga. Caviare can be made of the ree of any fish; but the principal supply comes from the sturgeon and the belluga. The latter is about the most curious fish in the world. It weighs up to 1,000 pounds and innabits the waters of the swift-flowing Volga. It is so abundant that the natives of Astrazan throw away the flesh—which is whiter than veal and vernalty—and preserve only the spawiz of which they sometimes take as much as 200 pounds out of one fish. This belluga lies on the bottom of the river at certain seasons and swallows many large pebbles of great weight to ballast itself against the force of the stream; that is, the pebbles act as an anchor. When the flood subsides and the waters are less violent the belluga disgorges itself; that is, it unballasts, hauls in its anchor and unballasts, hauls in its provender. LEAD THE IDEAL SIMPLE LIFE. Finns Devote Summer Months to Enjoyment and Pursuit of Health. In Finland everybody lives the simple life in summer time. They camp out on islands, in the forests and always somewhere near the water, for everybody swims and bathes. Almost all classes sleep and eat al fresco at this time of year, and the town councils of the towns in this progressive and altogether delightful little country provide public fireplaces and public bathing sheds in all places where the working classes go in search of fresh air. But the simple life is by no means dull with the frisky Finna. They combine it with a surprising amount of gayey. They eat, drink and are merry in their picturesque little log cabins outside the cities. When they are tired of bathing and splashing they dance, they sing, they watch fireworks and practice gymnastics, they all become like children and are the happiest, merriest, most good natured, most easily pleased and most healthy holiday makers in the world. We might take many leaves from the Finn's book—Ladies' Pictorial. J. H. Sayles is going to make every body happy at the Monday Night Dancing School at Masonic Hall. 615 N. Main street.

Pursuant to a general custom, and by virtue of the official power vested in me, after conference with the Executive Committee and other officers we have called the Fourteenth Annual Convention of the Western Negro Press Association to convene in regular session in Muskogee, Oklahoma, Friday and Saturday, Nov. 25-26, 1910, for the purpose of discussing all things pertaining to the growth, development and advancement of the African race, realizin gthat the pen is the most potent power, when rightly used, for the betterment of civilization, and the ultimate solution of all social, industrial, economic and political problems in this country; therefore, we urge upon the editors, magazine writers, and men and women engaged in the industrial arts allied to the Newspaper work, to meet us here in regular session with papers, essays, etc., to be read and discussed at this meeting, pertaining to the real needs of our down-trodden, struggling race. All no longer than ten minutes. excent papers are asked to be prepared to be those that are especially invited; the discussion will be only eight minutes unless by common consent. All publications west of the Mississippi are eligible to membership, annual dues one dollar. This meeting will bring together some of the leading orators and thinkers of the country, and the program when published, will bear out this statement. Urgging the press to publish this call, and hoping to meet the members of of the fraternity in our meeting. Witness my hand this 14th day of September, 1910. HARRY R. GRAHAM, Chairman Executive Com., Quindaro, Kans. JOHN L. TOMPSON, President, Editor Iowa State Bystander, Des Moines, Iowa. A. J. SMITHERMAN, First Vive President, Muskogee, Okla. J. DALLAS BOWSER, Corresponding Secy., Kansas City, Mo. Office of Chairman Executive Committee, Western Negro Press Association. Quindaro, Kans., Sept. 26, 1910. To the Newspaper Fraternity, Greetings:— The Fourteenth Annual session of the W. N. P. A., will convene at Muskogee, Okla., Nov. 25-26, 1910. We are desirous of having, if possible, every Negro Journal published within the bounds of the western half of the country, send a representative to participate in the deliberations of the session, and make it the most enthusiastic and profitable meeting ever held. There are now before the American people, and particularly the Negros, many momentous questions which vitally concern the civil, moral and political, present and future of our race, and our press being the mouthpiece and moulder of public thought and sentiment, should be in unison and accord on all such questions. The Western Negro Press Association is a medium thru which a happy solution and analysis of the race's advancement, civil and legal rights may be agreed upon, and serve a field of usefulness that no other organization can possibly serve. It has, in its history of fourteen years, in several instances of great public and national problems, demonstrated its power and influence.: It is composed of men and women who have made a record for race loyalty, progress and attainment; who are alive and wide awake to the needs of the race. Our meeting at Muskogee will be an epoch-making one, and will be attended by many noted men and women of our race from every section of the country. The citizens at Muskogee are making special efforts to welcome and entertain the Association with a genuine hospitality, and each and every frater is cordially requested to be present and share in the generosity of the citizens of Muskogee. Take your Thanksgiving vacation at this time and to this place and on this occasion. Write A. J. Smithlerman, Vice President, Muskogee, Okla., for programs or desired information. Yours for the race, HARRY R. GRAHAM. Chairman Executive Committee, Quindaro, Kansas. Bakers in Germany are fond of making odd experiments, the following being reported from Duisburg, 'n West phalia. At a children's party recently held in that town there was exhibited, and afterwards cut up and distributed among the youngsters present, a bread twist which for size at least has surely rarely been equaled. Welging no less than 180 pounds, it had a breadth of six feet and a length of ten feet, and was thus found sufficient to supply a satisfactory afternoon collation to many as 500 boys and girls. The Searchlight is still doing business at the same old stand, 630 N Main St. Come up. NOTICE KNIGHTS! According to ur by-laws from October 1st, to April 1st, each year Taborian Temple No. 11, will meet at 8 p. m., each first and third Thursday night. All Knights of this Temple will please take due and timely notice an dbe governed accordingly.—W. N. Miller, C. M. Attend the Song Services on Sunday evening 7:30 p. m. at the A. M. E. Church. It is noticeable that the German papers have made no outcry over the fact that King Edward has personally written to Andrew Carnegie. There is a bank cierk in Elyria, who never has any difficulty in striking a balance. His father was a slack-rope walker, and his mother was a trick bicycle rider. Were the Mrs. Gilman brand of sociology to come into vogue there would soon be no society for sociology to operate upon and the exuders of gulf would be among the unemployed. Miss Ross Becker has been appointed a claim agent and United States pension attorney at Missouri. She has been known for years as one of the most successful women in St. Louis, being a notary public and an insurance agent. Massachusetts has a law to prevent recklessness and speeding in automobiles, which law may be rendered ridiculous by its wrong punctuation, as it forbids driving over roads "laid out under the authority of the law recklessly or while under the influence of liquor." Boston, in consequence, is in rhetorical spasms. The secretary of the Colorado state bureau of child protection believes that a bad child gets its start from an ill-ordered home or from parents who possess evil traits of character, and wants a law passed making parents responsible for the misdoings of their minor children. But as bad traits of character are often inherited, what would the secretary do in case of an adopted child? In a fire panic in a New York cheap theater, a so-called exit was found to be a veritable trap, barring in the fleeing crowd instead of letting them find a way to safety. One would naturally suppose that the holocaust in Chicago would have prevented this dangerous practice for all time; but the lessons of catastrophes are quickly least, especially when they are followed by no retributory measures. There will naturally be much feminine sympathy for the New Jersey woman who has appeared in court to complain about her husband's cruel treatment, relates the Washington Star, and who says: "I am a graduate of a cooking school. I make biscuits, pies, cake and all sorts of dainties to please him, and he calls it all 'indigestion fodder!'" The judge advised the woman to cook corned beef and cabbage occasionally, and she said she would. A Minneapolis woman is suing the Western Union Telegraph Company for damages because when she telegraphed to her brother that "Pat," her husband, was drinking, and "to come at once," the message was made to read "Pat is dying," and a horde of relatives, notified by her brother, came from fa. and near to attend the wake, and she had the expenses to pay. If Pat had had anything to say in the matter he would probably have permitted them to pay their own expenses. Said an anxious mother to the family doctor: "What shall I do with my daughter Mary? She is simply candy crazy and, of course, eating nothing substantial makes her pale, if not downright yellow." Said the wise physician to the anxious mother: "Put Mary into a sweet shop, and she'll soon abor the stuff! It is her noble treatment, but it will cure her appetite for candy." Poor Mary! says the Indianapolis Star, how much pleasure she is going to lose for lack of a little self denial. Send for the S. P. C. C. A "Young Mother" asks our opinion of "the alleged injurious effects of rocking on babies." We must frankly say that we consider it a brutal practice. As the father of a great many babies, of all ages, we never rocked on any of them intentionally, and we would probably be arrested if we expressed our full opinion of any woman who would presume to do so.—Lippincott's Magazine. JUMPED AT NATURE'S BIDDING. Would Be Suicide Not Completely Nerved for Final Parting. With a groan of despair he made up his mind to die. Ruined financially, and with not a particle of hope for getting on his feet again, he realized that the only chance for his family escaping pauperism and its attendant miseries was to obtain immediate use of his heavy life insurance. Furthermore, if he lingered on he would be unable to pay the premiums on his policies, which unfortunately were not old enough to carry them selves, so that they would forthwith lapse. Death, therefore, was the only solution to the problem. It was a decision the bitterness of which can only be understood by those forced by circumstances to confront it. He put on his hat and overcoat and went out of the house, lest the expression on his telltale countenance should betray to his loved ones his fell intention. While he was traversing the crowded streets he would consider the best and least suspicious modes of consummating his purpose. If he could encompass it so that the thing looked to the world like an accident, so much the better. 2) would then be no scandal. As he stepped from the curb to cross the street an automobile, driven by a reckless joy-riding chauffeur, came tearing around the corner at terrifying speed. And the energetic leap which the would-be suicide made back to the sidewalk out of harm's way was a caution. IGH IN CIVILIZATION'S SCALE Jnknown Peoples of America Who Have Perished Utterly. Between the region occupied of old by the Aztecs and the realm far to the south over which the Incas ruled lies an immense stretch of territory, a thousand miles long and 800 wide, where the remains of unknown and wonderful civilizations are being discovered, says a writer in Van Noren's Magazine. This region extends from the northern boundaries of Peru to the southern limits of Costa Rica in one section alone along the coast of Ecuador six entirely unkown civilizations were recently brought to light by Prof. Marshall H. Saville, and a vast collection of relics has been brought to New York. This collection is to be the nucleus of a great American museum, which will represent the history of ancient peoples who attained an extraordinarily high degree of civilization, yet whose very existence has been hitherto lost in antiquity. The famed marble chairs of Rome at its zenith were not more symmetrical or beautifully carved than those of one of these unknown civilizations. No pottery of any other ancient race was more delicately patterned than that found in vast quantities, an numerous almost as pebbles, on the sites where these extinct peoples dwelt. Their cloth was of truly manvelous weave; in beauty of decor richness of color and fineness of texture no fabric of to-day surpasses it. TO HESITATE LONG IS TO PAR Successful Business Man Must Have Attribute of Courage. Many a man fails because he does not dare to take risks, to take the initiative. When you expect to do anything distinctive in life? When do you expect to get out of the ranks of medicocracy? The men who do original things are fearless. There is a lot of dare in their make-up, a great deal of boldness. They are not afraid to take chances, to shoulder responsibility, to endure inconvenience and privation. There never was a time when the quality of courage was so absolutely indispensable in the business world as it is to-day. It does not matter how many success qualities you possess, young man, if you lack courage, you will never get anywhere. Not even honesty or perseverance will take its place. There is no substitute for courage. It does not matter how well educated you may be, or how good a training you may have had for your vocation, if you are a hesitator, if you lack that courage which dares to risk all on your judgment, you will never get above mediocrity. The men who stand at the top of their line of endeavor stand there because they have the courage of their convictions. They had the courage to climb, had the nerve to undertake even against the advice of others—Success Magazine. Pacullar African Race There is a peculiar sort of people living in northwest Rhodesia. These natives are small of stature, with large horns on their heads. The horn springs from the scalp, consists of the native's hair mixed with fat and flesh, and is sometimes as much as 18 inches long. For the most part these Kafu live on the great open flats to be found on both sides of the Kafu river. They build their huts on the great an heaps which appear like hills scattered over the flats. When the Kafu is in flood and the flats are changed into great lakes these people are safe in their huts on the ant heaps. Their cattle also take refuge on the ant heaps on which corn and meals are likewise grown.
