Blood W ical Situation. - litical Hist WHITE MAN'S VIEW ON COLORED VOTERS Mr. J. W. Blood Writes On The Political Situation. - Gives Some Political History. Read It --- Dear Sir: I read your article of Sept. 24th, on the subject, "Colored Man and Republican Party," and must say, that I think, in the interests of your race, it is as strong an article as I have ever read, and that it was written in a patroitic spirit and from a viewpoint that all colored men should take. In yourr issue of Sept. 31st, appears an article by David G. Howard in which he says, "Colored voters should vote for the man and not the party." This in a sense may be true, yet from the general trend of his article, while he claims to be a republican, the arguments used are those used by the democrats who seek to help some democratic friend to office and knows that the only way he can do so is to appeal to the cupidity of the man, in the way of holding out some hope of office, which the democrat party never has and never will give to the Negro. The colored man must have a party and in choosing that party he must, to protect his own interests, choose the party which means the most to him. The republican party platform in the national convention of 1908 outlines and commits the party as follows: "The republican party has been for more than fifty years the consistent friend of the American Negro. It gave him freedom and citizenship. It wrote into the organic law the declarations that proclaim his civil and political rights, and it believes today that his noeworthy progress in intelligence, industry and good citizenship has earned the respect and encouragement of the nation. We demand equal justice for all men, without reservation, for the enforecement of letter and spirit of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendment to the constitution, which were designed for the protection and advancement of the Negro, and we condemn all devices having for their real aim his disfranchisement for reasons of color alone, --- Honorable W. N. Miller, Writes On The Polit= Gives Some Po- ory. Read It as unfair, un-American and repugnant to the supreme law of the land." Not only this, but the utterances of President Taft and Vice-President Sherman and other republican leaders are so strong that the Negro must know that the party is committed to their defense and to the protection of their suffrage and for equal justice to all men. Vice-President Sherman made the following statement in one of his speeches: "As a nation our duty compels that by every constitutional and reasonable means the material and educational condition of the colored race be advanced. This we owe to ourselves as well as to them. As the result of a course of events that can never be reversed, they are a part of our civilization; their prosperity is our prosperity; their debasement would be our misfortune." Mr. Howard says that the so-called republican party of today, so far as the Negro is concerned, has not the principles of Lincoln, Grant and McKinley. In answer to this we refer to the platform quoted above and we would direct Mr. Howard's attention to House Resolution 32, introduced by Mr. Hardwick, a democrat, Dec. 3, 1907, which read as follows: "Proposing an amendment to the constitution by providing that all of section two of the fourteenth amendment, except its first sentence, shall be repealed. "Resolved, by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the following amendment to the Constitution be proposed to the legislatures of the several States which, when ratified by three-fourths of the said legislatures, shall become and be a part of the Constitution, namely: "That the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States be, and the same is hereby repealed." The same day Mr. Hardwick introduced a joint resolution to repeal the fifteenth amendment. Other joint resolutions introduced were as follows: By Mr. Willis, E. Kitchin, of North Carolina, H. J. Res. 40, Dec. 5, 1907, proposing an amendment to the Constitution providing for the repeal of the fifteenth amendment. By Mr. Edwards, of Georgia, H. J. Res. 75, Dec. 19, 1907, proposing to amend the Constitution b yrepealing the fifteenth amendment. By Mr. Edwards, of eGorgia, H. J. Res. 76, Dec. 19, 1907, proposing to repeal the fourteenth amendment. By Mr. Chandler, H. J. Res. 107, Jan. 21, 1908, proposing to amend the Constitution by repealing the fifteenth amendment. Alos to House resolution 13953, introduced Jan. 15, 1908, which was a bill to repeal the law providing punishment for crimes against citizens' rights. Mr. Hull of Tennessee introduced the following bill, which was as follows: "A bill to repeal section fifty-five hundred and nine of the revised statues of the United States, relative to crimes committed while violating the elective franchise and civil rights law." "Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, that section fifty-five hundred and nine of the revised statutes of the United tSates relative to felonies or misdemeanors committed while in the acts of violating section fifty-five hundred and eight of the revised statutes of the United States relative to conspiracies to injure or intimidate citizens in the exercise of the elective franchise and civil rights be, and the same are hereby repealed. It was republican votes that defeate dtheir resolution and is a self-evident fact to all Negroes who have studied the question, that were it possible for the democrats to control the House and Senate, amandments to the constitution repealing the 13th, 14th and 15th amendment would be submitted to the states for their revision. I doubt if my friend Howard can point to a single instance where the democrat party has ever given the Negro anything but "Jim Crow" laws and "Grandfather clauses." If he will consult with his Oklahoma friends, and travel through the south and see how everything that can possibly be done without coming in conflict with the federal laws, has been done by his democratic friends, to deprive the colored man of the right of suffrage, of education and of receiving adequate returns for his services, in other Continued on page 8 OCTOBER 29,1910. Inheritance Tax The Democratic papers of Kansas are howling themselves hoarse demanding the repeal of the Inheritance Tax law, and the Democratic candidates for the legislature in this county are pledged to its repeal. ALL THE DEMOCRATIC MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE, INCLUDING MR. ROGERS, WHO IS CANDIDATE FOR RE-ELECTION IN THE 68TH DISTRICT, VOTED FOR THE BILL, THE LAW THEY NOW DENOUNCE SO VIOLENTLY. The republican state platform stands for amending the law. The republican candidates for the legislature in this county are pledged to vote for a bill amending the present law increasing the exemptions to the direct hars to at least $25,000, and entirely exempting the widow's share under the law; and that no tax shall be paid on any exemptions. The principle of the Inheritance Tax as well as the Income Tax is right; but the Democratic papers of Kansas want to back water now, and apply the Inheritance Tax to some far-off state. They think they see a chance to ride into power by favoring the entire reequal of a law their representatives all voted for. The republicans have taken the sensible and reasonable stand for amending the law to make it wholly equable. It is amusing to see the contortions that come over a Kansas Democratic newspaper now when it speaks of a Public Utilities law. One would think that such a measure had never been conceived of in a Democratic camp. Down in Oklahoma they have a public Utilities commission—corporation commission—with large and extended powers, said commission created by a state so democratic that it disfriances the Negro ail has an election law the most partisan in the nation; the whole machinery of election being completely under the hands of the Governor. Another hypnotic spell that the Democratic papers are trying to throw over the voters of Kansas is alleged extravagance of the present republican state administration. Let's see: The nearest sample of Democratic administration is Oklahoma. The Governor's office there cost the state for a given period $57,300; in Kansas for the same period $22,700. Thirteen state departments in Oklahoma cost the taxpayers $434,000 and the same departments for the same period in Kansas cost $207,000. Comment is needless. —L. McKinlay. To Sedgiwck County Voters: It speaks well for the primary system of nominations when a great party thereby puts before the people of a county a ticket of the excellence and qualifications possessed by the men upon the republican county ticket for the respective offices to which they aspire. Those serving their first term and seeking re-election have proven to be courteous, competent and obliging officials, such service as is generally accorded recognition by a second term. Of course their opponents have a right to aspire to these offices, but of what advantage will it be to the voters and taxpayers of Sedgwick county to turn out these men of proven competence and substitute inexperience? The republican candidates that will have to do with law enforcement are men with not only the will but the ability to effectually and affirly and impartially enforce all the laws; and this is what the people of Sedgwick County and Wichita want. Our candidates are pledged to such service of the upblic; and if elected and they neglect or refuse to do their full duty under the law the officers of the republican county committee will take great pleasure in helping to oust from VOTE FOR C.

NO.29 His Fortune Bess Purdy and her father watched the four young men ride away from the house and then their eyes met in a look of loving sympathy. "I do hope they'll make a strike this time, dad," said Bess earnestly. "Jim said they were to ride away over to Rattlesnake Mountain and separate at the base—each one prospecting for himself. Seems as if they hadn't had much luck so far, this year." "No more they haven't," admitted John Purdy, sitting down on the steps and filling his pipe; "but they're all young, honey—and you don't find gold every day. Mostly, you find it just once in all your prospecting." "Perhaps this will be the one day for each of them," smiled Bess rumpling her father's mop of curly gray hair. "Dad, you're positively growing old!" The next day, just reached his house there was the sound down the sunny street the inside of the green and, quite unseen, a men gallop to the porch father with boyish ee. There were Bill M Ransom and Bert A fourth, where was he against the door, pal. The men were tall—and John P sharp, pointed question reputed find. The as proval of the sample played. "Where's Jimmy A tersely. The three looked a Clayton pointed a tersely. Mr. Purdy laughed the low rumpling bass notes that his daughter loved to hear. "I've got enough on my mind—and conscience—to make my hair as white as snow," he remarked ruefully. "What is it, father? Something is worrying you and you have not told me!" Bess dropped down on her knees beside her father and lifted his chin in one brown little hand. "Look me in the eyes, dad!" she commanded. Mr. Purdy turned mirthful gray eyes upon hers, so like his own. "I'm looking—eh?" "What is the matter?" Her father removed his pipe from between his lips and looked into the bowl, then he squinted down the stem, and finally knocked the contents out and dropped the pipe in his pocket, with an air of determination; "You saw those four chaps ride away, Bess?" he asked seriously. "Yes," said the girl, with interest. "Bill Melvin, Owen Ransom, Bert Clayton and Jimmy Alvin—four as nice fellows as ever came into the gold country to seek their fortunes—eh?" "Yes." Bess was blushing faintly now but her clear glance still held her father's gray eyes. "Well, last night, one time or another, every dad-blamed one of those boys came and asked me if—" He paused and looked away down the crooked street of the little mining town, and this time Bess did not say anything, but the flush on her cheek grew deeper. "Every one of those boys came and asked me if we could come and court my daughter—provided he made some sort of a lucky strike this trip." There was a little silence and then Bess asked faintly, "What did you say, dad?" "I said they could come whether they'd made their fortunes or not—and that I didn't know what your mind was about it—and that they better run ahead and locate their claims." "They all asked you that question, dad?" "Yes, honey—and I don't know which one of 'em it is—but it's one of the four—eh?" She nodded. Purdy sighed and got upon his feet. "I reckon It'll be Bert Clayton—he's a handsome rascal and has rare good luck at everything." Bess made no reply, but turned and ran into the house and up to her little room with shining eyes and hot cheeks. Several weeks passed slowly while the hot sun poured down out of a brassy sky and the little mining town blistered under the scorching blaze. John Purdy, down in the assay office, thought of the four young men grubbing hopelessly around Rattlesnake Mountain—its scarred hillsides had been vainly prospected for years. What would these youths get out of the burning ground save bitter suffering and untold harsh experiences? It was a curious situation—four of them friends and all sutlers for Bess Purdy's little brown hand! Bess, working away at her household tasks in the motherless home, grew more dreamy-eyed and wistful as the days faded one into the other and no word came from the prospectors. And then one night, after supper, when the whole town sat gasping upon the doorsteps, a messenger whirled madly down the main street on dripping pony. "A strike—a strike!" ran from lip to lip and then it was learned that the prospectors had indeed struck gold in Rattlesnake Mountain. "The richest vein hereabouts—queerest thing that ever happened. They was all four working at different points and three of 'em struck the vein—I guess it run clean through the mountain; the other fellow didn't get a blamed thing for his digging!" related the messenger. "I reckon the other chaps will let the unlucky fellow in on the claim," remarked Purdy casually. "Like enough," said the other, proceeding on his exciting journey down the street. "I didn't ask which ones made the find—they was all excitement. They'll be here tomorrow, Purdy, with some stuff for you to assay." Bess and her father sat motionless a long time. At last the girl spoke. "I wonder who it was—the one who didn't find anything," she murmured half to herself. "I was asking myself that question," said Mr. Purdy thoughtfully. "What is the matter?" She nodded The next day, just as John Purdy reached his house at dinner time, there was the sound of hoof-beats down the sunny street. Bess came to the inside of the green-shuttered door and, quite unseen, saw three young men gallop to the porch and greet her father with boyish excitement. There were Bill Melvin and Owen Ransom and Bert Clayton—but the fourth, where was he? Bess leaned against the door, pale and still. The men were talking fast—all together—and John Purdy was asking sharp, pointed questions regarding the reputed find. The assayer nodded approval of the samples of ore they displayed. "Where's Jimmy Alvin?" he asked tersely. The three looked at each other and Clayton pointed a thumb in the direction from which they had come. "Alvin acted that mullish," complained the young prospector in an injured tone, "he was just as near locating the claim as the rest of us—but just because he didn't happen to scratch pay dirt and we did, he won't touch a thing! He rode on with us to Horseshoe Rock—and said he'd be along later. We argued with him till he started to fight the crowd and so we came on!" "He's right, boys," said Purdy gravely. "You three made the strike—that's all square—and it belongs to you. I just guess Alvin's unlucky. "He says he's going back home and settle down in the grocery business alongside of his dad," remarked Melvin ruefully, and then as the three lucky prospectors moved reluctantly away, he called back over his shoulder and voiced the unspoken words of his comrades: "I hope Miss Bess is well, Mr. Purdy." "First rate, thank you," said Purdy, watching them ride down the street with a brooding look in his eyes. He was still gazing when his daughter's white pony pounded around the side of the house and on his back was Bess, her face pale under a flapping hat. "Dinner's all ready for you, father. I'll be home by and by—I'm going after—Jim!" She flew up the street and his eyes followed the cloud of dust in her wake until horse and rider blurred into the gray trail. "I knew it," he muttered with a satisfied smile. "I knew it was Jimmy—and he's the cream of a good lot!" Later, at the assay office, John Purdy reported on the samples of ore that the prospectors had brought in. "You're rich men—every one of you, boys. Here's my hand on it—you deserve all of it!" he said heartily. "I wish you could argue with Jim and make him come in on this—there's no use in him being poor," said Melvin. "Jim Alvin's made a luckier strike than any of you, boys," said Purdy coolly. "He's the richest man in town this minute!" "How? When?" they demanded eagerly. "Look!" said Purdy, pointing out of the window. Coming down the street, the heads of their ponies close together, and with the unmistakable air of those who are above all earthly considerations, were two riders; one was Bess Purdy, flushed and lovely under her flapping hat, and the other was Jim Alvin—the unlucky prospector. "That's Jim's strike—pure gold," murmured Purdy, without looking at the three young men. One by one they stole away and saddled their horses and disappeared; and there was not one who would not gladly have exchanged places with Jim Alvin at that moment. THAT SILLY HABIT OF HURRY Bad, Senseless and Inexcusable, Says Man Who Seems to Have Reason With Him. "My attention was recently called to an article," observed the retired professor, "in which the writer rebuked us individually and as a nation for our lack of manners due to the hurry habit. He classed this habit among the bad, senseless, inexcusable habits; and I fully agree with him. Watch a crowd anywhere, pitching off trains and boats or surging onto them, fighting for first places going upstairs or down; squirming and elbowing to get through a gateway or an open door, and if you were to inquire not one man Jack or woman Marle could tell you why he or she was on the dead jump. "The average male being will consult his watch, bound across the lawn, run like mad for a car, hire a cab to break the speed law driving to a ferry, dash into his office as if he had done 100 yards in ten seconds, remove his hat and overcoat, open his desk, pull out a slide, cock his feet on it, light a cigar and wonder what he's going to do next. "The average female being will bore through a fringe of shoppers nine deep to forge to a bargain counter, and after she's arrived, she'll calmly put down her purse and parasol, finger the goods for fifteen minutes, ask questions concerning the prices—past, present and future—and move off leisurely without buying so much as a spool of thread."

We hear the question asked, "How is the house heated?" or, more often, "Is this a warm house?" These are important questions; not more important now, it is true, than in the hot summer weather, for even then the wise home builder looks forward to the wintry days and provides against them by proper construction; but now that cold weather is upon us the question of adequate heating seems to be more present and absorbing. With modern heating equipment there is probably no form of dwelling that cannot be adequately heated. Some, however, are very difficult to heat and require a much larger heating plant and much more coal than they should. This is due sometimes to faulty construction, sometimes to unwise design. In the first place every home builder should know that there is no money so well spent as that put into insulating felts and high grade sheathing papers; which, combined with thorough construction in other ways, will go very far toward making a residence frost proof. A house so made can be kept thoroughly warm with from one-third to one-half the amount of coal required to heat the same structure if not properly insulated and put together. Insulating paper does not cost very much and it should be used freely. The entire exterior walls should be covered between the rough sheathing and the clapboards and care should be THE HOME OF THE HERITAGE CENTER taken to see that the paper is fitted snugly around all openings, both doors and windows. The workmen are sometimes careless in this regard and it is well to keep pretty close watch of what they are doing when it comes to this part of the work. Good oil paper should also be used in the flooring between the rough and finished floors. This serves a double purpose, as it not only makes the house warmer, but shuts out all furnace dust from the cellar, or dampness if there should be any.

Another trivial expense while building that proves a very great economy in the long run is to have the basement lathed and plastered. Twenty-five or thirty dollars will do this on the average job, while the satisfaction and comfort resulting will be worth many times that amount in after years. Also great care should be taken that what are called the rough sheathing boards for the exterior walls should be good matched lumber. Shiplap is very good for this and costs very --- little more than the ordinary unmatched boarding. Very often large knotholes in such boarding are allowed to go unnoticed; but this is a grave mistake. Much cold can find its way in through even one large knothole. They should all be hunted out and carefully plugged before the sheathing paper is nailed on. And in addition to thorough construction much can be accomplished in the way of easy heating by having the house properly designed.

The accompanying design is a good example of a residence that is very easily heated. With either a warm-air furnace, steam or hot-water systems very good results can be had with this house. Being rectangular in outline, there are no exposed por- THE HOME OF THE MOTHER OF THE GIRL tions. The solid porch at the front will be found a great protection, as it will blanket to a certain extent the broad exposed side of the living room. In other ways, too, the arrangement of this house is desirable. It is well suited for a narrow building site, its width being but 22 feet 6 inches. Even counting the side entrance porch, it doesn't require more than 25 feet. The side entrance is very popular at the present time and this is a good example of the possibilities of this kind of arrangement. The living room extends clear across the front of the house, the reception room and stair hall occupy the middle of the side and at the rear are the dining-room and kitchen. There is a small den directly back of the stair hall, which will be useful for many purposes. On the second floor are three good-sized bedrooms, each with a clothes closet opening off from it. The bathroom is also on this floor and finds itself directly above the kitchen. This brings all the plumbing together and makes quite a saving in this factor of the expense. It is in matters of this kind that the experienced house designer can save a good deal of money for his clients. Too often not enough thought is given matters of this kind, but there is no doubt but that substantial savings may be accomplished in the construction of any house by having it properly designed. In exterior appearance the house illustrated herewith is very satisfactory. It is dignified, neat and substantial. It has the home atmosphere. A house of this kind has the advantage of being very easily kept up so that it always presents a neat and well-cared-for appearance. The cost of this seven-room, story and a half house is estimated at $3,000. Why Not? "Curious thing about a cold in th head," said the little girl, "is that when I have one I always talk in dialect." "What dialect, pet?" what dialect, pet: "The coll-in-the-head dialect, of course." (Note—And she always gets it right —which is more than can be said o' most professionalimitators.) The KITCHEN CABINET W HO is good, except he be made so by loving? Palatable Liver. Lamb's or calf's liver is not a dish to be despised. The common method of serving it fried with bacon is very appetizing if well cooked; but one likes variety even in serving liver. Try this way and see how choice a dish it is: Fry three slices of salt pork until brown, lay in the liver and sear well on both sides, then put into a covered baking dish with a few potatoes parboiled, a few carrots and an onion that has been fried brown in the pork fat. If you have a little broth or stock pour it over the meat and vegetables, if not use boiling water, cover and cook for several hours until the vegetables are tender. Serve in the casserole. Season when the dish is about half cooked. Another nice way to serve liver is to wrap a piece of bacon around each piece of liver after seasoning well and rolling in flour then bake in a hot oven until the bacon is crisp. Turn once during the cooking. Liver with curry sauce is another way to add variety to its serving. Cook the liver as usual, adding a bit of onion to the fat for flavor. Remove the liver and add two tablespoonfuls of flour, a half teaspoonful of curry powder and a cup of stock. Strain over the liver and serve with rice. Things Worth Knowing When a stitch is dropped in a fine silk stocking which will cause "rail-roading" wet the place to arrest any further damage and then it will go no further and the place may be darned when the stocking is removed. Stockings that have been dipped in water and dried before wearing will not be so apt to drop stitches. Try using varnished paper as covering for shelves; it is easily wiped and kept clean. To clarify fat, add a raw potato cut in small pieces to the fat and allow it to heat gradually. When the potatoes are well browned remove them and strain the fat through a cheese cloth. The potato absorbs any odors and collects some of the sediment, the remainder sinks to the bottom of the kettle. LOVE the smell of apples when they're getting streaky red, And I love the smell that crinkles from an old time posy bed; The earthy spice of new plowed fields is e'emmost sublime. But there ain't no smell that ekals the smell of picklin' time." There are so many good things to prepare for the winter that it is hard to choose when one can have but a few on account of the expense. Those fortunate enough to possess a good garden may be independent of the markets. Pickling Time. There are so many good things to be prepared in the fall that the housewife who has not a well-stored fruit closet may well feel that she, like the butterfly, has idied the summer hours away, and the winter will find her with bare shelves. Most housewives have old and tried recipes that have been handed down from mother to daughter, so that those need not be repeated. French Pickles.—Reject the seeds from six green peppers, cut the stem end from one peck of small green tomatoes and pare four medium-sized onions; chop separately. Chop two tablespoonfuls each of mint and nasturtium seed; sprinkle with one cupful of salt and let stand 24 hours. Mix one cupful of grated horse radish with two tablespoonfuls of white mustard seed, one tablespoonful each of pepper corn, ground cinnamon and sugar, one-half teaspoonful each of ground cloves, allspice, mace and ginger. Add to the vegetables, cover with vinegar, cook slowly for four hours, seal hot in pint fruit jars. Plum Catsup—Boil the plums with as little water as possible until soft, rub through a colander, and to every five pounds of pulp add two and a half pounds of sugar, a cupful of vinegar, and a tablespoonful each of chinamon and cloves. Boll half an hour, stirring steadily, and seal boiling hot. Chow Chow—fake two quarts of small green tomatoes, 12 small cucumbers, three red peppers, one cauliflower, two bunches of celery, one pint of small onions, two quarts of string beans, one-fourth of a pound of mustard seed, two ounces of tumeric, one-half ounce each of cloves, allspice and pepper, and one gallon of vinegar. Prepare the vegetables, cut them in small pieces, cover with salt and let stand 24 hours and drain. Heat the vinegar to the boiling point with the spices, add the vegetables and cook them until tender. Peach Mangoes.—Rub the down rqm firm, large peaches, cover with trong brine, and let stand for two lays; drain, cover with cold water and stand 30 minutes; wipe and with a sharp knife remove a small piece from the side, take out the stone and rub the cavity with a little celery seed. Make a filling with one cupful of chopped sour apple, one tablespoonful each of white mustard seed and grated horse radish, one teaspoonful of mace and half a teaspoonful of ground cloves. Fill the peaches, replace the piece cut out, tie securely, and stand in jars cut side upward. For every quart of vinegar add one cupful of brown sugar, and one-fourth teaspoonful of cayenne; bring slowly to the boiling point, skim carefully, pour over the peaches, seal and in ten days they will be ready to use. IS beauty that doth oft make woman proud. Pickles Like Mother Used to Make The following are old and tried recipes which are never quite out classed by the new and up-to-date pickles: Green Tomato Pickles—Slice one peck of green tomatoes into a jar, put a layer of tomatoes, then a few slices of onion, using half a dozen onions, sprinkle with a cupful of salt and let stand 24 hours, drain and add one quart of vinegar and choice of spices; cook until the vegetables are tender. When cold add a tablespoonful of ground mustard mixed with a little vinegar. Ripe Cucumber Pickles—Cut ripe cucumbers in halves, cover with water, allowing two teasponfuls of powdered alum to each quart of water. Heat gradually to the boiling point, then let simmer for two hours on the back part of the range. Drain and chill in ice water. Make a sirup of two pounds of sugar and a pint of vinegar, with two tablespoonfuls each of whole cloves and cinnamon tied in a cloth. Remove the cucumbers and put in a stone jar; pour over them the boiling sirup. Scald the sirup three successive mornings and pour over the cucumbers. Sweet pickles of different kinds may be prepared from the following recipe: Take $3\frac{1}{2}$ pounds of brown sugar, a pint of vinegar and seven pounds of fruit. Spicling is varied to suit the taste. Always put the spice in a small muslin bag, then it may be removed if the pickles are too strong with spice. Most people like one part cloves to two parts cinnamon for spicling. Crab apples are delicious pickled in this proportion; also pears and peaches. Pickled Onions—For those who like pickled onions here is a good recipe: Select small silver-skinned onions, put them in a brine, after peeling carefully. Let stand three days in a brine that will float an egg. Drain and put in a jar, making a layer three inches deep; rprinkle with horse radish, cayenne pepper or chopped red pepper, cinnamon and cloves; repeat until the jar is full. Take vinegar to cover, add a cupful of brown sugar to a quart and pour boiling hot over the onions. HEN we say we have not time WHEN we say we have not time for anything, we usually mean that we have not inclination for it. It is significant that most persons find time for what they are bound to do." Helpful Hints: Closely woven goods require less starch to stiffen. All fats except mutton can be used in cookery; that may be used for salves and soaps. Put the roast in a very hot oven at first, then after ten or fifteen minutes lower the heat so that it will cook slowly and retain the juices. When coloring, use a little vaseline on the hands to keep the dye from sinking in and then wash them, using lemon juice to remove the stains. Bits of dampened paper thrown over the carpet before sweeping will aid in keeping down the dust. Tea leaves are also good and tend to brighten the carpet. For a long-sleeved corset cover, cut the top off of your worn winter union suits. Such a corset cover costs nothing and is as good looking as one made for the purpose. When having a roof shingled, save some of the shingles and leave them exposed to the air and sun until well weathered; then when a few shingles are wanted for patching the roof it will not have that patched look. When the stilletto is lost, try using the orange wood stick, the kind used for the nails. Many workers prefer them to a bone or ivory one, and if lost can be easily replaced. The eyelids made are as smooth and perfect as if made by the stilletto. Spiced Cucumber Pickles Soak medium sized cucumbers for 12 hours in strong salt water. Then scald them in vinegar and pack in jars. Prepare the vinegar with spices and pour boiling hot over them. Use whole spices. Nellie Maxwell. Why We Should Fertilize the Soil by BURT E.

All she asks is the opportunity and she will yield him the wealth of an account that has been growing for ages. And he has treated her as he usually treats his best friends. He has taken all she had to give, bought an automobile and a house in town and then hid his address from his relatives of the soil for fear they would bring their earthy smell into his new residence. With quiet indifference old Mother Earth endures this ingratitude, but the time comes when she has nothing for his greed. What happens then? Look to India for one answer. Ten million of our own Aryan blood starve there in a single famine year—starve upon a soil that once was, and still could be, almost inconceivably fertile. Russia offers another reply, where with stomachs empty men enter a world that never fills* them. Yet another answer, centuries old, may be found in the Tigris-Euphrates valley, which, once marvelously fertile, now scorches uselessly in the tropic sun. The necessity of man forged a weapon that brought him plenty; but the greed of man forged a weapon that brought him penury. For do you think there can be prosperity when the earth no longer yields? Do not forget that the shame of Rome was coincident with the time when one bushel of seed returned but four in the harvest. When the soil exploited, that is when it is so farmed that the essential elements are taken out in crops and nothing returned to build it up, the result THE FARMERS CORNFIELD IN URBANA PLAT. 3 YEAR ROTATION NO TREATMENT CORN FIELD IN URBANA PLAT. 8 YEAR ROTATION, NO TREATMENT is exactly the same as when men are exploited in workshops and nothing returned to build up their bodies. You cannot haul phosphorus and nitrogen in oats and wheat and corn from your farms year after year and maintain the fertility of the soil, if you give back no phosphorus and nitrogen in return. Twelve thousand abandoned farms in the state of New York alone testify to this. After sixty years of cultivation the lands of the corn belt are beginning to hint at the same thing. We all feel the results; and it is not the man with the hayseed in his hair who feels it first but the man with the pen behind his ear. Month by month the price of each separate commodity puts a little large puncture in his salary, until by the end of the year his savings, which began hopefully, as an unknown quantity, have ended as "X = nothing." He it is who knows the cold dread of middle age; for unless the land can be induced to yield abundantly prices will not settle down to the point where the man on a moderate salary can live free from fear. Farmer and clerk alike, we are all vitally concerned in this problem of maintaining and increasing the fertility of the soil that is fertile, and of restoring soils that have been cruelly exploited. Fortunately they can be restored. Intelligence is more potent than avarice and can undo the evil it has wrought. Even those soils that have been exploited to the point of apparent ruin can be nursed back to health. Dr. Cyril Hopkins, head of the agronomy department of the University of Illinois, a soil specialist of national reputation and the author of numerous pamphlets and a book entitled "Soil Fertility and Permanent Agriculture," is one of the most enthusiastic workers along this line. He is a man of hard facts and loves pretty theories even as the devil loves holy water. Every fact that he gives out must prove itself over and over again in tests upon his own farms, or those belonging to the university or upon one of the various experimental plots. There are about thirty of these plots scattered through the state of Illinois, where the soils are carefully examined and then cropped according to their needs. I could tell you tales of what Mother Earth has done in the way of corn, wheat, oats, or clover when she has received proper treatment that would set you to building castles in the air upon an earthy foundation. The corn yield upon one of the university farms in 1909 was 87 bushels to the acre, due to treatments with limestone and phosphorus. But before we go farther --- Knol Tennessee ALFALFA - SHOWING ADVANTAGE OF HAVING THE SOIL INOGULATED WITH BACTERIA who let us consider a few fundamentals of crop of nitrogen is may be seen from the fact that ind growing. a 100-bushel crop of corn takes from the so First, there are six positive, absolutely essential factors. They are: (1) the seed, (2) the plant home, (3) the food of which the plant is made, (4) moisture, (5) heat, (6) light. Now, except in the case of the seed and plant food these factors are largely beyond the farmer's control. Dame Nature can, however, be trusted to attend to them satisfactorily. How, then, has the farmer made use of his ability to control the two factors? By exercising judgment and care in the selection of seed and by ignoring the matter of plant food entirely. The result? When the land was worn out and had no plant food to give the good seed the agriculturist arose irately in farmers' institute and told what he thought of the seed seller. The trouble all the time was not with the seed but with the soil, which had had the elements of plant food removed in previous crops, and as a consequence could not respond to the call of the seed. What are these elements? There are ten in the list, but eight are provided abundantly. Three—oxygen, hydrogen and carbon—come directly from the air and water. Most normal soils contain enough potassium, magnesium, iron, calcium and sulphur, although sometimes the first must be supplied. The problem of plant food, therefore, narrows itself, in most cases, to maintaining and increasing the phosphorus and nitrogen. Now nitrogen is as easy to catch as the measles if one knows how. The air contains it in inconceivable amounts. Dr. Hopkins has estimated that the air above an acre of ground contains about $10,000,000 worth, if sold over the counter at ordinary commercial rates. In order to induce this nitrogen to enter the earth, where it may reappear as food for man, all that is necessary is to plant clover, alfalfa, peas or any legume. By means of the bacteria upon the roots these legumes draw the nitrogen into the soil. How necessary the element of nitrogen is may be seen from the fact that a 100-bushel crop of corn takes from the soil almost 100 pounds of nitrogen in the corn and about 48 pounds in the stalks. Rich, well-balanced land in the corn belt contains about 8,000 pounds of nitrogen. Therefore, if the process of subtraction of nitrogen goes on year after year with never an addition, it can be seen clearly that the farmer's finances cannot multiply. Rotation plans for grain farmers always should include a crop of legumes. Wheat, corn, oats and clover is a satisfactory rotation; also wheat, corn and cow peas; also cotton, corn and oats and cow peas. The first of these rotations should include a catch crop of clover seeded the first year and plowed under for corn as late as practicable the second year. The other two should include catch crops of legumes whenever possible. Legumes when plowed under perform valuable services besides supplying the soil with nitrogen—as they decay they supply organic matter to the soil which helps other elements of plant food to free themselves from the earth and into the farmer's bank account. Now that the question of nitrogen has been outlined, suppose we turn to the problem of phosphorus, the only element of plant food we ever shall have to buy. As to the importance of the use of phosphorus upon the common soils of the United States, Dr. Hopkins has this to say: "Phosphorus is the key to permanent agriculture on these lands. To maintain or increase the amount of phosphorus in the soil makes possible the growth of clover or other legumes and the consequent addition of nitrogen from the inexhaustible supply in the air; and with the addition of decaying organic matter in the residues of clover and other crops and in manure, made in large part from clover, hay and pasture, and from the larger crops of corn and other grains which clover helps to produce comes the possibility of liberating from the immense supplies in the soil sufficient TWO FIELDS OF CLOVER IN SOUTHERN ILLINOIS SHOWING EFFECT OF USING LIME STONE, ROCK PHOSPHATE IN ADDITION TO MANURE potassium, magnesium and other essential abundant elements supplemented by the amounts returned in manure and crop residues for the production of large crops at least for thousands of years; whereas if the supply of phosphorus in the soil is steadily decreased in the future in accordance with the past and present most common farm practise, then poverty is the only future for the people who till the common agricultural lands of the United States." Phosphorus may be applied in liberal amounts—as much as 1,000 pounds to the acre every three or four years—and it costs about $1 a ton. After the problem of returning the elements to the soil has been solved the farmer may find another condition of the soil which must be corrected before his farm will produce as it should. This is the tendency of certain soils to acidity. Clover, alfalfa and other valuable legumes cannot thrive upon soil that is sour. Sometimes on acid soils when applications of farm manure are made, the legumes will seem to grow well, but examination reveals the fact that the nitrogen gathering bacteria fail to develop properly. Hence the most valuable contribution the legumes have to make to the soil is largely lost. Upon certain fields belonging to one of the most famous agricultural stations in the world, that of Rothamstead, England, applications of natural limestone were made a century ago. They are still moderately productive, although other fields near by, which have never received the application, are extremely unproductive. Care should be taken that limestone is used for the one and only purpose of correcting soil acidity. And while we are upon this subject of soil stimulation, have you ever thought that most of our improvements have that in view and that only? Improved seed, improved machinery, irrigation, even crop rotation, all are means for extracting from the soil the richness that is in it, not for returning any of the food elements of grain building. All of these methods of soil stimulation are excellent in their way, if used in connection with methods of returning the elements of plant food; but if used without them they are means of hastening the impoverishment of the soil. To return to the question of limestone, one ton to the acre finely ground will correct the acid condition of most soils. It is, however, in the end cheaper and easier to apply more and to apply it less often. As much as ten tons to the acre was applied to the soil of one of the experiment fields in southern Illinois and the crop yields there have been greater than upon any other fields in that district. A question that has been given much attention lately is the question of crop rotation. Undoubtedly it is absolutely essential for successful grain farming, but it is not the universal panacea some would have us believe. For instance, a group of theorists have declared that fertilization is unnecessary, that crop rotation will keep the soils in perfect condition. The idea is that plants do not injure the soil because they use its plant food elements but because they throw off poisonous excreta as animals do. Therefore a so-called worn-out soil simply has become saturated with this excreta. Plant a crop which will neutralize the poison of the last crop and the soilsoil will be sweetened and the breasts of Mother Earth kept dripping with plenty forever. This is very attractive—as a theory. It has, however, no foundation in fact. As Dr. Hopkins has said, the rotation of crops has just the same effect upon wealth in the soil as the rotation of the check book among the members of the family has upon the wealth in the bank. Plant food elements cannot be used up and not returned without resulting in impoverishment of the soil. For Sprains "Gave Me Instant Relief" "I fell and sprained my arm and was in terrible pain.

The republican party would gain votes, would even gain states in the South, if it would give up its principles of equal rights. It does not need the Negro vote to maintain its supremacy in this country, especially when that vote is influenced simply by gain as a public official. But it will not lose the support of the thinking Negro in this country, for the Negro knows that he must vote for that party which will guarantee to him his suffrage and equal opportunities. He knows that deprive him of this suffrage and you have taken away from him the one club which he may use to protect his political freedom, and he also knows that when he fills his local of fice with democrats that he is weakening the party as a whole and is giving his enemies within the republican party a chance to side in with the arguments produced by the democrats; that he should be deprived of suffrage, as has been done in Okla homa by such laws as the "grandfather er clause." With regard to the republican ticket in this country, there are many conditions to be met and the public officer has many things to take into consideration. I know of no candidates but who would be willing, if conditions permitted, to employ Negro help but they must be the judge of these conditions and under the present conditions the Negro should fight these out in the primary, and not bite off his own nose to spite his face, by voting for democrats at the general election. Mr. Howard says, "go through the courthouse and see if you can see any difference in the offices held by the republicans than those held by the democrats." It is a fact that the democrats control the present Board of County Commissioners, and that there is not a Negro in their employ. It is a fact when held by republicans the Negro did receive some recognition and held some offices in the county. This article is of some length, Mr. Editor, and I do not know whether you will be able to publish it all or not. It has been written, not as a salve or a promise of political perfectment, but simply as a candid statement of my opinion, "why the colored man should vote for the republican party and its candidates, and not for the man, simply because the man is a democrat." While I believe that no republican, either colored or white, is bound to support a candidate on his ticket that he believes is unfit for the office, I do believe that as long as the republican candidates are clean and competent to fill the office, that the man who believes in republican principles should vote for them, regardless of petty personal animosity, or private gain, in the shape of some petty job.

NATURAL ACT FOR MOTHER Women Understand That Not Heroism but Simply Leave Prompted Self-Sacrifice. A few days ago, in a somewhat squalid neighborhood, a house caught fire. The flames shot quickly through the litter on the floor and the untidy array of clothing on the walls. A woman talking with a neighbor ran screaming to the house and without an instant's hesitation sprang through the smoking doorway into what already seemed an inferno. A moment later she staggered out, her hands and face blackened and blistered and her clothing on fire. In her arms she bore her baby, safe from harm. The afternoon papers came out with the story, printed under headlines extolling this mother's heroism. Men read it on the street cars, and as their eyes gleamed with the stirring of the spirit which leaps to greet noble deeds they said: "That woman dared to do what most men would be afraid to do." But the mothers who read it at home did not think that way. Perhaps the danger of the baby, the wrecking of the home and the burns the woman suffered brought moisture to their eyes, but to them the act was not one of heroism—it was simply what any natural mother, no matter how timid, would do under the same circumstances.—Cleveland Leader. REST AND PEACE Fall Upon Distracted Households When Cutlery Enters. Sleep for skin tortured babies and rest for tired, fretted mothers is found in a hot bath with Cuticura Soap and a gentle anointing with Cuticura Ointment.

"Jack Hanch, on the score of bad health, never worked, and the pastor of the Methodist church, a man whose heart sometimes outran his head, sent the idier and his family weekly gifts of food and clothing—supported the whole crew, in fact. "A church visitor, after listening to Jack's complaints one day, said: "Yes, of course, you have had bad health, we know that; but one thing at least you ought to be thankful for, and that is our pastor's kindness in sending you all this bread and meat and jelly and blankets, and so on.

Mrs. Dolan lived in a district which was not as favorable for the outdoor household experiments recommended by the Ladies' Helper as it might have been. This fact Mrs. Dolan was rapidly assimilating, and in a manner not so uncommon as it might be she blamed the estimable periodical for her difficulties. "I wish I had a holt o' that woman that runs the 'Handy Hints' department," she remarked to her husband one morning after an early excursion into the back yard, whence she returned in high dudgeon. "I tought you tought she was a grand wan," said Mr. Dolan, cautiously testing his cup of tea. "Well, I've changed me mind, as I've the rights to do," replied his wife. "She said to put body on thin stains in the tablecloth, and Iave it out overnight on the line, an' they'd be gone entirely whin morning come.

WHITE MAN'S VIEW ON COLORED VOTERS concluded from page 1 words, the equal opportunity of earning a living and enjoy the benefits of citizenship, he will not be so strong in his advocacy of voting for "the man" (democrat) and will think more of the party and the men which has stood by him from 1861 to the present day. He says in his article that "no political party can do less for them than the republican party is doing," and asks "why he should vote for the republicans." It seems useless to answer this question. If he wants an equal opportunity, if he wants equal education advantages, if he does not desire to be deprived of his suffrage, if he desires to ride in "Jim Crow" cars, if he desires laws to be placed upon the statute book, which will allow designing men to take advantage of his ignorance and poverty, and by the means of creditors' laws, practically reduce him to slavery, let him vote the democratic ticket. If he desires the opposite he has only one other recourse, and that is, support the party that has protected him and made it possible for him to enjoy the advantages he now has. Mr. Howard conveys the impression that the republican party has not and does not give to the Negroes any of the fruits of victory, yet there are over 14,000 Afro-Americans in the government employ and their aggregate salaries amount to more than $8,000,000. The highest salary paid to an Afro-American is $10,000 per annum, and a number of colored officials receive from $2,500 to $5,000 a year. The republican party has recognized such men as Wm. T. Vernon, Henry L. Johnson, Ralph W. Tyler, of Ohio, C. F. Adams, J. M. Holzendorf, Henry A. Rucker, Chas. W. Anderson, Whitfield McKinley, Walter Cohen and many others I might mention. There are eight Negroes in the Consular service and three in the Diplomatic service of this country. There are over six hundred Afro-American employees in the government printing office. One of the expert examiners in the patent office is Henry E. Baker, of Mississippi, who draws a salary of $2100 per annum. I want to ask Mr. Howard if he can point to a single instance where he can give credit to the Democratic party for those conditions, which have taken the Afro-American from slavery and made it possible for him to have one-thousand patents granted to members of his race; to have over six thousand title of works by colored authors in the library of congress and toshow some three thousand compositions written by colored composers. While this article may be a little long, I would like to ask your indulgence, Mr. Editor, to quote, for the benefit of this correspondence who says, "let us try some one else once," the following paragraph, taken from Democratic speeches on the floor of congress: Congress, made the following statement: "What is called the "Negro problem" has become a question of national interest and demands attention wherever, North and South, the Negro appears in any considerable numbers. Practically all of the Southern states, in which thNeegro forms such a percentage of the population as to make him a political factor to be reckoned with, have by constitutional provision deprived him of his power for harm in the administration of our domestic affairs, and we have done it because it was absolutely necessary to protect our people from financial ruin and to preserve our civilization. For a time we were compelled to employ methods that were extremely distasteful and very demoralizing, but now we are accomplishing the same and even better results by strictly constitutional and legal procedure. For more than ten years the Negroes of Mississippi have understood that they were not to be allowed to participate in State or County governments, and as a result we have had but little trouble with them, and they have been better satisfied and more prosperous than at any time since their emancipation." Senator Tillman in Congress, in sepaking of the colored population of his state, said, among other things: "When that happened, we took the government away. We stuffed the ballot boxes. We shot them. We are not ashamed of it. With that sysgot tired ourselves. So we had a constitutional convention, and we eliminated, as I said, all of the colored people whom we colud under the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments." The democratic party from its birth has always boasted its color line and harped about it, yet it always has been willing to get colored votes, especially in the North, by pointing to some minor defects i n the treatment of the colored man by the republican party. Mr. Rainey, of Illinois, expressed the true sentiments of the democratic party when he said "the democratic party is a white man's party in this country, in the North as well as the South," and after this boast in the Congressional record as written; applause on the Democratic side. Mr. Griggs of Georgia, speaking April 21, 1908, said: "There is not a white man in any of the so-called Negro states who would not glady see the reeal of the constitutional amendments making the Negro a citizen and a voter. While this is true, there is a disposition in some quarters of the South to laugh at the efforts of earnest, patriotic men in this direction. There is no complete salvation for the South outside of this one thing. As I said however, that is not now. Neither race is prepared for it, and only disfranchisement is left to insure the white control so necessary to the peace and prosperity of the South. The utter extermination of a race of people is inexpressibly sad, yet if its existence endangers the welfare of mankind, it is fitting that it should be swept away. The Hebrews were commanded to exterminate the races of Canaan. Nations have time and again been wiped from the map and races swept out of existence in pursuance of this great natural law. But as I have said, there is no necessity for and no danger of destroying the Negro race in the Southern states. I would not be misunderstood. I say I speak today as the friend of the Southern white man, and am not the enemy of the Southern Negro. I simply stand for the supremacy of our race, let it cost what it may." Industrial conditions in the South have not been at a standstill during all these years since the war. We are no longer a purely agricultural and professional people. We are now largely manufacturers. More of our young men are every year entering the ranks of manual labor. Advocates of this proposition are assuming two impossible conditions. First, they assume that the Negro can be educated up to a line and held there (whether voluntarily, by law, or by public opinion, I do not know); second, that technical education of the Negro will eliminate competition between hi mand his white neighbor. Neither will, nor can it be done." Such, Mr. Editor, are the sentiments of the democratic leaders in this country, and yet inspire of this, our friend, Mr. Howard, asks the colored man to vote for the democrat party, or at least for some democratic candidates. Under the republican party, the federal government has broken up peonage in the South, has in spite of such laws, made the Southern states give to the colored man some recognition and the opportunity to live. They have upheld the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments, which are the only guarantee the Negro has. They have given the Negro the right to homestead land, and otherwise gained for him a home in this country. The Negro today owns property amounting to over one billion, five hundred million dollars, and this he has accumulated under the protection of the republican party. With reference to local conditions, we would like to call to Mr. How- A man of ability and competent 777 ORDER OF TWELVE 333 To the Officers and Members of the International Order of Twelve, for Kans-Neb.
