HYPOCRISY IN POLITICS

The Philadelphia Public Ledger
notes with approval the announce
ment from Boston that "the validity
of the laws and constitutional amend
ments passed in certain Southern
States for the disfranchisement of
the negroes as race is to be tested
before the Federal Courts under the
auspices of the National Council of
the Constitutional Rights Assocla-
ton." If, adds the Ledger, these
''unlust devices for the evasion of
the Fifteenth Amendment are per-
mitted 10 stand, the vitality of the
clauses providing for the reduction
of representation should be tested :"
la these pointed sentences the
Ledger outlines the attitude of the
Republican party toward the dis
franchisemeut of Southern negroes.
The party as a whole is opposed to
laws which enable the white people
OF the South to remedy to some ex-
tent the evils of unrestricted negro
suffrage. Having given the negro
the suffrage at a time when he was
utterly untitled to exercise it with
intelligence or discrimination, the
Republican party resents any effort
on the part of the South to protect
itself against negro majorities. The
Southern whites have not vet, it
would appear, been punished sufli-
GENTLY for their course during the
Civil War. They must submit to
negro suffrage, and, if the courts
sustain their "unjust devices for the
evasion of the Fifteenth Amend
ment," a partisan majority in Con-
gress will be urged to cut down their
representation in the House of Rep
resentatives and in the electoral
college. Baltimore San.

The other day some ladies' wrote 10
Lord Kitchener suggesting that he
should give some thought 10 the girls
as well as the boys of the Sudan. There
upon the sirdar wrote the reply that
when he had got his Gordon college

OF story so like the man that il is

When Kitchener was starting his list

first and best step be could take was to
attend lunch in the city which Lord
Rothschild would give. The lunch was
duly ordered; the guests were met. the

awkward pause. Lord Rothschild was

Bread cast upon the water often re-

seldom that a good deed is rewarded

Thirty years ago the beiness man

were struggling industriously. gain n
footing in the commercial world. The
business man loaned his brother. S35 TO

deuce of the debt n note for $50. The
note was laid aside and in the busy
years that followed was forgotten. The
brothers separated. The one who lent
the money came TO Kansas City and

Some time ago the Kansas City
brother was asked to hunt up some old
family papers and bring them to his
brother in St Louis. He ransacked
chests. trunks and drawers and found
them. At the bottom of an unused
trunk he discovered an old red pocket
book Inside was the SD note given
30 years before. The paper was discol-
ored by age. the writing was faded.
but was still legIfle. The existence OF
the note had been forgotten by both
brothers. When the Kansas CITY man
went to St Louis with the family pa
pers. he took the note with him. After
pleasant chat with his brother he
said to him laughingly:

debts?''
What DO you mean. Waltpr?"

laughed and said:
