ing Day Street in that city, will probably
arrange for q two-men match against

series of matches. An inter-city series

nament, having sent over 66 more pins

Monsey's team has a comfortable lead,
the Green Streets will roll at the Win
throps' Tuesday night, and Thursday the

A WORCESTER MANS VIEWS
ON WASHINGTON'S DINNER

To the Editor of The Spy:
If, as l believe, the white people of
this country are entitled to their race
prejudices no one, not even the Pres
ident should offend them by acting
counter to their sentiments and wishes
thereby pandering to the prejudices of
the colored people. In doing so he is
the means of intensifying the preju-
dtces of the whites and making the lot
OF the colored race even harder than
1t Is. Many intelligent colored people
realize that all such acts on the part
of white friends but emphasizes their
misfortunes
Booker Washington has injured him
self in the South great deal by put
ting himself in the way Of receiving
social recognition from white people in
this section; this will-strange as it
may seem-injure the colored people
generally, and, If l mistake not Mr.
Washington will soon feel the force of
white prejudice. So long as he con-
fined himself to his race and school
the best people in the South were
ready to look kindly upon him and
help in his work, but when he travels
as social lion in the North this
friendship viii be withdrawn, and
think that Mr.. Washington knows it.
The Southerners feel hurt, not to say
offended, by the attentions that are
paid this negro. believing as they do
that they have been unkindly and un-
justly criticised by the people who
honor him. I must confess that the
Southerners are justified in feeling the
affront
| would like you to publish for the
edification of your readers the enclosed
extracts, taken from an article writ
ten by Mr.. S. S. Calhoun of Mississippi,
some II or Is years ago, and published
in most of the leading papers of the
South. 1t will do your readers no
harm, and may do them a heap" of
good,-since there is so much being
written and said on the negro ques-
ton.
If the facts are as this writer cites
them, and his deductions correct, why
should not his advice and admonition
be considered, and not the sickly senti-
ment of the negrophilists of this sec
ton. AT least Mr.. Calhoun's writings
on the subject can properly be digni-
fed as an intelligent argument and
that is more than can be said Of that
put forth by those in this neck of the
woods; and I trust you will not refuse
our side a hearing on the negro ques-
ton. NJ. SAGENDORPH

Possible That Official Ballot on

dates
N0N-PARTISAN FACTION
ACCUSED BY DEMOCRATS
Alleged That Law Relative to
Signing of Nomination Papers
Has Been Violated by the Non
PartiSans Who Are Said toHaVe
Signed Too Many Papers

Cambridge, Nov 3O.-If the objec-
lions filed this afternoon with the city
clerk are proved to be well founded,
the voters of the city will find at the
polls on election day an official ballot
which will be without the names Of the
leading candidates for mayor and
without the names of the majority of
the candidates for aldermen, assessor
and school committee.
At the last moment this afternoon
the non artisans filed objections to
the entire Democratic ticket, with the
exception of the common council, sta
ting that the call for the Democratic
caucus was not legally published. The
ballot law commissioners will hear the
cases Monday.
Sweeping allegations are made by the
Democrats who have drawn party lines
this year, that non-partisans have vio-
lated the law relative to the signing of
nomination papers and that they have
also invalidated the Library Hall and
independent nomination papers of
David T. Dickinson and the papers of
all the aldermanic- candidates endorsed
by Library Hall. It is alleged that the
non-partisans have signed more papers
than there are offices to be filled.

DOING A GREAT FAVOR
T0A NEWSPAPER MAN

A great many men do not under

freaks imaginable. The other day, one
approached me with an appeal. Would
I not be good enough to say something
nice about a friend Of his from Eng
land, d champion of some sort over
there, now on a tour OF the United
States. I said it would give me pleas
ure, and inquired the mans name, etc.
Come up to my office and I'll dictate
an article" he said. Overlooking his
insolence, I said quietly and temper
ately: Thank you, ! am too busy.
You may dictate q small paragraph to
your stenographer and send it to The
Press Office, and if it is acceptable
matter we may use It," "Oh, you are
away off" he laughed. IF you want it
you must come and get it at my office"
said something about seeing him
somewhere else first and made my
escape. Now, here was a person ask
ing a favor and trying to play smart
with a dog Of q newspaper man. His
friend, I learned. is travelling for a
British powder firm, and ne himself
represents the firm in New York. He
wanted a bald-headed advertisement
and was doing me a favor to let me
come 10 his Office to take his dicta-
ton. II is a wonder we are permitted

ISRAEL ZANGWILL GIVES HIS
VIEWS ON ANTI-SEIMTISM

-Semitism, which formerly fig
ured as religious prejudice and now
appears mainly as commercial jealousy
is at root an expression of the univer-
sal tyranny of majorities, and the dis
like for all that is unlike. Instead of
regarding its Jews as part of the
nation and their wealth as part of the
national wealth, every nation regards
them as aliens and invasive and tri-
umphant rivals. AS If a country were
huge gambling den, in which the
gains of some of the inhabitants nee
essarily meant the loss of all the
others! Even in America-that con-
glomerate Of peoples-this distorted
view has been imported by its Euro
pean constituents. And everywhere the
Jew is contrasted, not with his actual
neighbors, but with an idealized
Frenchman, Briton, Teuton, etc. Bill
Sykes is not the Englishman," but
Pagan is always the Jew"

A CAPABLE Manager.

April number of the Beet Sugar Gazette,
a monthly journal published in Chicago
and devoted to the interests of the beet
sugar industry of the United States
1.-The Alma Mich Beet Sugar Com
papy has been extraordinarily success
full in securing acreage, this year hav-
ing contracted for 800 acres for next
seasons run. Farmers are Sd eager to
grow beets for the factory that some of
them are trying to buy the contracts
from their neighbors who were wise
enough TO sign contracts before the fac
tory had a sufficient acreage.
The Alma Sugar Company has, in
the person of Mr. f. II. Hathaway, a
capable manager who not only looks
conscientlously after the interests of the
company, but who also has the conf
dence and esteem of the farmers who
grow beets. The Alma sugar factory
will be big dividend payer, and much
credit for its success is due to Mr.
Hathaway"
