The leading colored citizens of Ma
varro county, Texas, have perfected
an organization which deserves to be
supported at home and copied else
wheref 1t has for its especial pur-
pose the enforcement of law and or
der among the people of the black
race Members of the organization
pledge themselves to discourage crime
by every means possible, TO refrain
from affording aid and succor to Grim
inals who are fugitives from justice,
and to assist the officers in appre-
bending violators of the law.
one great drawback to the enforce
ment of the law in the South, and
hindrance to a better understand
ing between the races, is the fact
that almost without exception the
black people win take in and shield
a criminal Of their race, especially if
the crime has been committed against
white man or woman. 1t would
appear that the sympathy of the
blacks is always with the criminal.
no matter what the nature of the
crime. Numerous bloody fracasas
have been precipitated because black
people have attempted to defend black
criminals and prevent them falling in
to the hands Of the law. The would
be defenders may not have condoned
the crime. They have regarded il
with horror and loathing. But be-
cause the skin Of the perpetrator was
the color Of their own, they have
imagined that II was their duty to
stand by" him. II may be that the
feeling was due to race loyalty on
one hand and race prejudice on the
other. or It may be, as has been sug-
gested. that the blacks have no proper
conception OF a social scale and hence
put criminals and law-abiding persons
on the same footing But whatever
the reason, the fact remains that
the. shielding OF murderers, rapists and
thieves has operated to the dlsad-
vantage of the black race.
The Navarro county negroes have
determined that there shall be "a
change in this matter. IN 80 far az

Roots Had Gone Tbrourh.

Mr.. William H. Butcher OF Chicago,
at one time the best-known travelling
salesman in his line, is fond of telling
about the man whose oily tongue and
calm assurance first fired him with
ambition to be a figure in commercial
life says the New York Times.
1T happened in the early DAYS down
on the farm" said Mr.. Butcher. The
fellow had patent stump puller. His
style was grandiloquet when expatia-
ting on the merits of his contrivance.
l remember his favorite boast:
Why, sir, that machine will null
up anything that God Almighty has
ever planted'
He prevailed upon us to give him
a trial and accordingly we snagged the
stuboornest stump on the farm with
the machine and attached a team of
horses. They tugged and strained.
but couldn't bulge the stump. We put
on more horses. Still there was no sign
OF victory for the stump puller. A
third relay of horse power caused the
device to close up like a pair of scis
sors, and that was the end of it. we
jeered numerically, but the agent met
us with solemn rejoinder:
That stump was planted deeper
than thought he declared. The 9th
er party has certainly got hold of the
roots!' 3"

are profoundly convinced that he has
spoken for truth, justice. right. The
verdict the people want is Dewey's
verdict. That is enough for them"
The Baltimore American (Rep.) says:
"To those friends of Admiral schley
who may be dismayed by the verdict
we have only to say: Dreyfus lay in
prison for five years before justice was
done him. Justice, as Admiral Dewey
and the country know il, will yet be
done Admiral Winfield Scott Schley."
The Philadelphia Ledger Qnd.) says:
mo one outside of naval circles cares
about the details of naval movements
leading up to the battle and the bril-
liant victory won by the American
fleet. The central point of interest is
the victory itself. Who won it? The
entire court commends Schley's con-
duct during the battle and Admiral
Dewey gives him such credit for it as
falls to the man in actual and absolute
command"
The Baltimore Sun (Dem.) says: TT
is to be noted that Admiral Dewey d
minority of the court, indeed, but its
presiding officer and in position which
enables him to judge the facts far bet
ter than the other members of the
court, sustans Admiral Schley in all
important points. finding that he did
his full duty throughout the Santiago
campaign and is entitled to the credit
of the superb naval victory there.
This is the verdict OF common sense
and will command general support.
The victor of Manila, being in a posi-
ton to judge impartially, honors the
victor of Santiago, while the other
members of the court, with no such
qualification undertake to reverse the
facts of history"

GAGE DEFENDS HIS ORDER.

In the current number of the North
American Review. Secretary Gage de-
tends his famous order TO custom
house officers of March 3 1901. 1t viii
be recalled that in that order he told
the custom house officers to show no
favor to any one, but to see TO it that
the law was enforced in respect to
personal baggage Of persons arriving
at the ports from foreign countries.
Ever since that time there has been
an outcry against the custom house
inspectors of baggage Of passengers
arriving on transatlantic steamers.
The government has been harshly cri.-
icised and the inspectors have been
abused. The public prints have been
full of accounts of the alleged out
RACES which have been committed on
passengers, but the government has not
weakened in the least in the position
that was taken in Secretary Cages or
der.
The government was satisfied before
that order was issued that there was
great deal of smuggling, and it is
certain that nothing is being done by
the inspectors that can be construed
into an outrage The only people who
make an outcry are those who have
been smuggling and who want to con-
tinue the practice. The Secretary says
that he has taken pains to inquire of
persons in whom he has confidence ar
irving on steamers from Europe if
they noticed any lack of courtesy on
the part of the inspectors, and he was
informed there was not. He was also
told that it took no longer now to in
spect passengers baggage than be-
fore the order was issued. The Sec
rotary is satisfied therefore that the
tempt TO sHaHggle goods into this eeHa-
try. In fact, there is no doubt on that
point. The amount collected from per
sons having personal baggage is about
four times now what it was before the
order went into effect. That is proof
that the government is doing only what
is right.
1t is stated that before the order
was issued dressmakers brought over
trunks filled with fine dresses, declar-
ing that they were their personal ap-
parel and persons, otherwise most ex-
cellent citizens, brought in iewelry
worth many thousands of dollars, max
ing no return of it to the inspectors.
All that has been stopped now, and it
is probable that the order win stand

papers of New York and SOME other
cities are making against it,

Polk county is not heaven, but it is
a natural paradise" So says the Bar
tow (Fla.) Courier Informant, and
then goes on to prove it by means of
a graphic description of Polk's beauties
and riches, embellished with excellent
half-tone pictures of lakes, groves,
orchards. farms and fruits. To read
of the fruits is enough to make ones
mouth water; to look al the pictures
is to remind one that we have the rich
suh-tropics within easy reach by rail.
From one point in Polk and that point
said to be the highest in Florida, TWEEN
ty-one picturesque lakes are to be seen.
And along this high ridge, as in pref
ty much the whole county pure arte-
sian water may be had with little
trouble or expense. There is stratum
of rock from Is to 80 feet below the
surface of the earth. only one joint
of pipe is needed to reach the rock, -
and when the rock is tapped the water
flows two to five feet above the sur
face. The Courier Informant has en-
bodied the facts referred to, and a
thousand others, in special trade edi-
ton that is credit to its publishers
and an invaluable advocate for the
section.

A Tear-CompeIIins Tale.

She was pretty, as all girls are, and
she knew it, as all pretty ones do, says
the New York Press. So it is no won
der that when she smiled sweetly
through a large window at a Broadway
corner the clerk in the window thought
of his own fatal beauty and smiled
back at her.
She gave bright little nod that
sent her curls to dancing, and he
smoothed the hair plastered over his
clerly brow and nodded back at her
in killing way and thought of his
thousands slain. Then. inwardly bid
ding her to abandon all hone, he put
his hand over his heart and made a
bow that his dancing master at 50
cents an hour had assured hirl knock
ed the spots off of 'em all.
All her innate maidenly reserve
seemed to melt before this stunning
evidence that she had made an i'm
preston, and, giving a roguish glance
at him. she waited through the win
dow dainty volley of smiles and coy
glances. Then she fed in ashamed
blushing defeat.
He caught her at the corner, BEAM
ing radiantly at victory already won
Raising his hat with that distinguish
ed air which only Professor Toodles
can imDart, he asked the little beauty
if he might accompany her home, at
the same time giving her sly wink
to remind her of their Irritation through
the window.
You imDertinent puppy" said the
girl. " GU puny thing, how dare you
speak to me.
Then she called a policeman, who
told him to sneak. and threatened to
fan the crestfallen clerk. When he
returned to the window growing sus-
picion in his mind had become a fact.
The girl had seen her own reflection in
the plate glass, and merely was maxi
ing few little repairs to hat and hair
that she considered necessary after a
