The Rev. J. X. Smith, of Louis

Another statement Of the salary
pa d to Charles NJ. Schwab, as
president Of the Steel Trust, places
the amount at $22a,000 a year.
OF this only 100000 is arbitrary

made contingent Oh certain con-

brownsville Times-Enterprise:
A bill has been introduced in the
house to make the purchase Of
votes at a primary election q mis-
demeanor. The bill should be
promptly passed. The same safe
guards thrown around regular
elections should prevail at primary
elections They are, as a rule,

An old English picture repre-
sents king with a motto beneath,
81 govern ALL; Il bishop with this
sentence, II pray for ALL; a SOL
der with this inscription, II fight
for ALL; and u farmer who reluc-
family draws Il purse forth and ex-
claims, 81 pay forall. " The Am
erican citizen is a combination of
all these functions, for Is he not
king, preacher, warrior, labor, all
in one? He governs, prays and
fights for himself and for those
whom it is his duty to protect,
and he pays all the expenses.
1t il hard, BUT not impossible,
TO break up a bad habit and form
good one, even late III life. It is
always q mistake TO underrate
the difficulty, and to imagine
that only a single strong resolu-
ton Is necessary. That indeed
is essential but there must also
be patient, watchful, earnest,
continuous efforts, persevered in,
and not suffered to flag, through
much encouragement and many
failures.

ex-senator Bruce of Mississippi,
was refused a shave in Boston

of the fact that he is a negro. The

and fined $40 for drawing the col
or line. 1t is said he paid the fine
with u smile and walked out of the
courtroom we'll pleased. In Boston
they are fond of championing the
right of the negro to social equal
ity-in the South-with the white
man, but in Boston also there are
white BARRIERS who would rather
give up 500 than shave negro.
Mr.. john ". Mackay plans to
lay cable $500 miles long to
connect Hawaii and the Philip
pines with the United States. 1t
will he great convenience and of
large financial value TO this coun-
try. He hopes to have it working
within two years. The fine thing
about it is that no subsidy or guar
anty is asked. In these days, when
every corporation seems to want
to dip into the public treasury for
its private enterprises, it is cheer
ing to find big man ready to do
big thing i'll the right way with
out asking for public money to
pay the bill.
Maintaining this status Of white
supremacy, the two races live to-
gether in these Southern States in
entire peace, friendliness and
kindliness, a relation which is
never disturbed even by the occas-
