Topeka Congressman Tells Washing

Washington, Aug. 2S.-Congressman
Curtis of Kansas. reached Washington
Monday morning to transact some mat
tiers of interest to his clients before the
postoffice and interior departments He
speaks of the Republican outlook in
Kansas in most encouraging vein.
In my Judgment" said Mr.. Curtis.
today, I'VE will carry Kansas for the
Republican ticket by a majority from
any where between 10000 to $4,000. OF
course, two or three congressional dis
tricts in the state are reasonably close,
but the Republican managers have no
fear of the outcome and feel confident
of being abale to elect a solid delega-
ton to congress Every indication thus
far in the state points toward the con-
ditfon and result 1 have indicated. The
Bryan reception and Populistic notifi-
cation at Topeka, made one of the slow
est affairs in a political line which pre-
tended to be pretentious that has been
seen in the state.
themselves, there were not more than
1900 people in attendance at the demon
stration Naturally, this was a bitter
disappointment to the fusionists of the
state, who did not fully realize the ex-
tent of the detection within their own
ranks until this attempted demonstra-
tion- The reports which have been re-
ceived by the state committee indicate
Republican gains in all parts of the
state. There are few reports of Repub-
licans who are leaving the party to join
the fusioniSts, but there are many in
stances where the Democrats can not
stomach Organism and have deserted
him.
when the people in our state remem-
Der that the banks at this time have
more than $54, 10000 deposited, they APP
preciate the conditions of prosperity which
have prevailed in Kansas during recent
years. At this time we are having q
vast income from our various products.
THE people never were in better con-
dition to receive good Republican doctrine.
as they are now receiving good prices for
their stock and all products The people
are busy and prosperous, and there Is no
reason why Kansas should not go Re-
publican"
Mr.. Curtis has received invitations to
speak in Minnesota. Oklahoma and Indi-
ana, but he says he will place himself
entirely in the hands of the Republican
state central committee of Kansas, and
hardly thinks he viii leave his own state.
He will devote the greater portion of his
time to the campaign in his own district

NEGROES ULTlMATUM.
Democrats Told What They Must Do
to Get Votes.

Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 28.-The Ma
tional Afro-American council met here
today with an attendance of 400 of the
representative coolred men of the United
States Bishop Walters, president of the
organization made his address which
was the feature of the day. He said that
the colored race was passing through
that great wisdom was needed to guide
it's destinies and that the race must
stand for its natural and constitutional
rights, not in a combatfve, revengefui
spirit, but in a manly, courageous way.
He pleaded for a full recognition of the
privileges accorded to every white citi-
zen of the United States, denounced the
recent Acknowledgement amendments
passed in North Carolina and accused
protecting the franchise rights of the
negro. He admitted that prejudice was
on the increase, but urged that it is best
to cease resistance and do by education,
industry and character what can not
otherwise be peaceably accomplished.
He urged the race to act independently
in politics and declared that politicians
must cease to make the negro pawn IN
the political game.
Some of u.s. said he, "have signifled
our willingness to unite with the Demo-
cratic party wherever and whenever
they will make advantages for us to do
so. Since we have taken the initiative
it is for that party to say whether it
desires our votes by a consideration in
the way of just legislation and kind
treatment. Until the southern Democ-
the civil and political rights of the ne
gro, do not see how we con consistently
help that party into federal power and I
for one will not do So"

Tried the SUSPICION Cure.

IFrom the Detroit Free Press
Il would be quite happy If my hus-
band would not spend so much Of his
time at his club" said Mrs. Jones with a
sigh.
why didn't you try the suspicion
cure?'' said her intimate friend.
What in the name of Susan 3. Anth-
ony is the suspicion cure?" asked Mrs.
Jones in anazenlent.
We'll, my husband got in the habit of
spending his evenings at his club, and
worried over it for some time before I
hit upon plan to to keep him at home
At first I pleaded with him, telling him
how lonely I was at home when he was
away, but he would only laugh and
promise to be home early, which meant
midnight or later. Then I changed my
tactics. Instead of asking him to re-
main at home, 1 urged him to go to his
club. The way he raised his eyebrows
the first time I suggested it showed me
l was on the right track and I resolved
to keep it up.
''One night when he came home for
dinner he announced that he had
severe headache and would re-
main home for the evening
opposed the idea and pointed out that
an evening at his club would cause him
to forget mis- headache and do it good.
He gave me hard look, but acted on
the suggestion and left for his club
something told me that he would be
back within an hour, so I made an elab-
crate toilet and waited for him to re-
turn He came home as expected, with
the plea that his head was worse and
that he couldn't stand the noise at the
club I condoled with him and ignored
his question concerning my elaborate
toilet He hasn't been away for an
evening since. 1t is almost like the old
honeymoon, only he appears to have
something on his mind that he is not
entirely satisfied about

Henry Clews' Financial Review: The
last four years have witnessed a re-
marl1able expansion in the American
outlook politically, industrially and fin
ancially. We have been forced into
world politics as never before. owing to
our widening interests: we have wit
messed a most extraordinary develop
nnent, in our foreign trade, chiefly be-
cause we are now able to manufacture
for the worlds markets; and, finally, we
find ourselves lenders of money to ma
tons in all parts of the world as a nat
ural sequence. Ten years ago the man
who had the courage to predict such
things would have been considered a fit
candidate for the lunatic asylum; today
they are accomplished realities and in

continuous national growth

Alton, Ill. Aug 2S.-Afichael Crivello,
aged 81. gave a swimming exhibition at
the natatorium last night. to the surprise
of the score or more of youths who
thought they were the whole thing in the
water. He first climbed up into the tower
and dived head first into the water.
The youngsters stood breathlessly
around waiting for the old man to come
up. which he did at the farther end of
the big tank, having made dive that
would do credit to a lad of 20 Then he
showed them new tricks in swimming,
treading water, floating erect and at full
length, stimulating the youngsters In an
endeavor to beat him.
Mr.. Crivello has been sailor. He at
tributes his good health and activity to
the fact that he has never drank a drop
of Intoxicating liquor.
