THE THIRD PARTY.
President Polk Thinks Nothing Gan
Prevent it Now

Prevent it Now
TOPEKA, Kan, Sept. 13. = Colonel
Polk, national president of the alliance,
in company with Frank McGrath, the
Kansas president, returned from Holton
last night. President Polk talked this
morning freely of the political situation.
He said:
If southern farmers are driven into
the peoples party, no power on earth
can prevent them carrying every south
7ern state, but the question is, will they
be driven into the third party? Four
months ago l would have said a new
political party was not likely to follow
1t now seems impossible to prevent it.
The alliance is with us and is in such
condition that it can be changed in one
day into political party. 1t was Or

and has been conducted as such. The
south is unit on the sub-treasury plan-
Whether the supreme council in Febru-
ary decides third party must be placed
in the field or not, it will be go any
how, and it will receive thousands of
votes in the south. The democrats have
it in their power to stop the movement
by acceding to the st. Louis demands.
Nothing short of that will avail and if it
is not done the south is lost to Them

PARIS, Sept. IA decided feeling of
uneasiness is caused in diplomatic and
financial circles here by the receipt of a
dispatch announcing that Sigri, on the
west coast of the Island of Mitylene, be
longing to Turkey, near the coast of
Asia Minor and within steaming distance
of Dardanells is occupied by detach-
ment of British troops. Under ordi-
nary circumstances little or no credence
would be placed in this alarming rumor,
but coupled with the story broadly cir
culated Saturday, that Great Britain, in
view of Russia's practical coercion of
Turkey in regard to passage through
Dardanelles of a vessel belonging to
England, her volunteer feet intended to
occupy the island of Tenedos at the en-
trance of Hellesport or Dardanelles.
The Situation in London.
LONDON, Sept. 14.-As soon as the re-
port of occupation of Mitylene by British
forces was received here there was con-
siderable excitement. Up to 3 80 p. m.
there was no official utterance upon the
subject. A dispatch was received from
Constantinople stating the occupation of
the island of Mitylene is an accomplished
fact and it has found echo on all CONT
mental bourses today.

A BRIGHT REPRESENTATIVES,.

There are some men whose lives read
like romance. Lives into which has
crept shadows and sunshine, but with
more of the former at the start than of
the latter. Such life is that of Hon.
J. P. Green, of Cleveland, o. His early
life was full of shadows, full of reverses,
but with will of iron he brooked no
obstacle. He felt that in the battle of
life success would crown the valient,
and with this belief uppermost in mind,
he bravely .toiled on. Each day was
harvest day with him, for each day he
accomplished something. Mr.. Green
was born at New Berne, N. c., April 2,
1916, of free parents. When he was

widow three children, small home

their only legacy. In the spring of
1857 series of prosecutions having
taken place against free colored peo-
pie, his mother sold their little home

settling at Cleveland, o. Mr.. Green re-
ceived a common and high school edu-
cation at Cleveland under the most adj
versed circumstances. After finishing
school he took up and completed the
study of law and was admitted to the
bar. In 1878 he was elected justice of
the peace in Cleveland by over 3, 900 ma
1ority, and served as justice through
the next ensuing nine years, earn
ing for himself the reputation
of being the most able Justice
in Cleveland. In 1881 he was elected
member of the legislature from his
(Cuyahoga) county by a handsome
plurality and was again elected in 1889.
In the Legislature Mr.. Green always
stood fearlessly as the advocate and de-
fender of the rights of his race. He is
the author of the bill which sets apart
one day in the year to be observed as
Labor day. AS a lawyer Mr. Green has
been very successful and mum bers
among his clients representatives of all
races The life of John p. Green is
one worthy of emulation by every one.
Pure, noble, honest, conscientious, he
stands to-day one of the foremost in the
bright galaxy of Afro-American lead
ers.
His is a life, which written in the
most prosy style and covering the space
of volume, would be entertaining and
instructive and is worthy of compila-
ton by the races brightest historian.

growing dissatisfaction. In Ohio it
amounts to almost a declaration of 1--WE

while from all over the country there
are evident signs of apathy. A prom

of being an effectual organizer said the
