In true democratic fashion, Pres
ident Roosevelt has sent his chill
dren to the Washington Public
Schools. He simply desires that
they become good and patriotic
Americans, and has warned them
against using frills of fashion.
One of the best proofs that affairs
in China have quieted down to the
safety point, is the announcement
that, within a few days, thirteen
American missionaries will sail !

President Roosevelt's callers now
adays are from all parts of the coun-
try and they bring good wishes
and promises of hearty support.
The broadness of his policy so far

The effort ofthe Democratic Con-
stitutional Convention in Virginia
to frame provisions for the disfran-
chisement of the colored voter, is
being carried to such an extreme,

chise every voter in the State who
