Roosevelt Steadfast.

President Roosevelt is not swerving
from his well-knOwn civil service pol
icy single iota, and he has given
the public to understand that any
federal official that violates the civil
service law will suffer the conse-
quences of being removed from office
for such breach of official position
Recently c. E. Sapp, internal revenue
collector at Louisville, and Moses Dill
Ion, collector of customs at FL Paso,
Texas, were both removed from office
for violating the civil service laws.
Sapp was charged with giving infor-
nation to applicants who intended
taking the examination, and Dillon
was charged with a similar offense.
Sufficient evidence was presented to
the president for him to cause their
| removal at once and it was SO
| ordered, and their successors have
been appointed. The president, as
has been previously said in these col
umns. is strictly for civil service, and
he proposes to stand by his guns
even if he fails to secure the nomina
ton for the presidency in 1904. Such
moves may initiate against Mr.
Roosevelt's nomination, but it is moi

About Fake Advertising.

The following excerpt taken from
Whites Sayings on fake advertising
should be carefully read by every
business man:
''The advertising business looks
easy and the fake part of it is easy.
Put a fakir on legitimate propo-
sition, such as a newspaper where he
has to face his customers day after
day and year after year, and he is up
against it. There are very few excep-
tions where a fakir has been able to
make a success of legitimate prop
osition. Newspaper advertising re
quires- training, it requires business
judgment, it requires integrity. Fake
advertising is open to butchers. bak-
ers, BARRIERS, statesmen, dry goods
clerks, whether they are honest or
not. The fakirs make more money
than the legitimate advertisers sim
ply because the merchants of the
West have, in many instances, wrong
ly attributed their success to good
judgment in advertising rather than
to it's true cause, the natural growth
of the country. A quick talk wins
them on any deal. Some of the
merchants have learned to look upon
themselves as wonders in the adver
tising field and feel that nobody

always maintained that there was no
more need of saloons staying open on
Sundays than for dry goods stOres
clothing houses or grocery stores, and
by no means as much as for the lat
ter. If a family can get on Saturday
all the groceries they need for Sun
day, they can likewise get on Satur-
day all the drink that they will need
for Sunday, and there is no more
necessity for men, women and chill
dren to collect in saloons on Sunday
for all-day brawls and disturbances
than there is for them to collect in
grocery stores and chew the rag on
the topics of the day If the country
must have saloons, it seems that the
saloons should be conducted just as
other business houses, and if Sunday
is to be respected by other business
houses, let the saloons respect it in
the same way. The saloon man is
deserving of no more privileges than
the grocery man, and when the one is
compelled to close, the other should
be compelled to follow suit More dis
turbances and murders are the results
of wide-open saloons on Sunday than
any other day in the week, and all
cities should take steps to close sa-
looms just the same as other business
houses.

1t Is Not a Theory.

1t Is Not a Theory.
One of the persons taking part in
the discussion used as an argument
that the citizenship of the Negro was
theoretical, because he was not ad-
mitted into hotels on an equal footing
with the white man, that he could not
get accommodations in the theatres.
railroad trains, steamboats, and other
places of public amusement, enter
tainment and conveyance, all of which
are too true, and while the keepers
of hotels may refuse to admit colored
men as guests, the courts of the land
protect the colored man in buying
that selfsame hotel and running it to
suit himself, and in case he cannot
purchase that one, if he has money
enough he can purchase one across
the street and run it to suit himself.
The same is true of theatres, rail-
roads and steamboats, Again, the
speaker dwelt long and loud on the
fact that colored girls and boys were
not given places in stores and mer-
camille institutions in general, and in
those places, too, where colored men
spend hundreds and thousands of dol
lars. That is quite true, but the con-
stitution of the United States and the
constitutions of the various states of
the Union give the colored man the
right to build store by the side of
his white neighbor, and the same con
| stitution likewise protects colored
| persons who wish to go there and
trade exclusively. The constitution
gives the black man the right to trade
wherever he desires, and no restric-
tions are made as to where they trade
and spend their money. Now, if the
colored men of this country want

Gross CareIessness.

The horrible railroad accident
which occurred in Michigan last Fri
day is said to be the results of gross
carelessness, which, if true. the per-
sons responsible for the carelessness
should be sent to the the penitentiary

idly drawing to a close there have
been altogether too many fatal acci-
dents in this country, and if some of
the persons who are responsible for
them would be sent to the peniten-

would not be so many in the future

have occurred on the railroads during

An Awkward Debate.

! An Awkward DEBATE.
In a joint debate which was par
ticipated in by colored men only of
this city on Thanksgiving evening
and by the members of the Evergreen
Literary Society, the following very
unique subject was up for discussion:
Resolved, That the citizenship of the
Negro in the United States is more
theory than a reality Much was
said on the subject by the respective
speakers pro and con, although it
must be admitted very little was said
german to the subject. Such sub
jects are not discussable, for there is
no negative to them. The Negro is a
citizen of the United States and his
citizenship is not a theory, and no
one knows that better than the Negro
himself; but granted for the sake of
argument that it is only theory, the
discussing Of it among Negroes them
selves will by no means better sNch
a condition. If the debaters of such
question were addressing mixed racial
audiences it might serve some pur-
pose. 1t is very generally considered,
so far as the Negro is concerned, if
he is not granted all the rights of an
American citizen he is not to blame
OTlyI Ic VxYi1 h,,A
said above, the Negro is a full-fedged
citizen of the United States, possess
ing all the constitutional rights and
privileges of any other American citi- \
zen from a public standpoint. If he
were not, it would have been utterly
impossible for him to have within the
past four decades started from moth
ing and accumulated property valued
into the billions of dollars at the pres
ent time 1t would have been impos-
sible for him to have started ignorant
and illiterate and to have educated
45 per cent. of the entire race since
he has been emancipated. 1t would
have been utterly impossible for him
to be able to compete in every busi-
ness avocation known to any other
citizen of this country if he were not |
full-fedged citizen of the United |
States the same as any other man |
The very idea that his citizenship is |
theoretical is preposterous, absurd |
and ridiculous, and for any educated |
colored man to deny that he is citi-
zen is likewise absurd and ridiculous. |

Grapes in California.

GTdpSS III OdlITOTnlas
Though number of states have
endeaYored to not only equal, but to
even outstrip California in it's grape
production, none of them thus far has
been able to make evel a favorable
comparison with her 1t can be truth
fully said that California produces
more grapes than all of the other
states of the Union put together,
though the state of New York is noted
for its Concord production. Speaking
about California and it's grape prOduc-
ton, the following statistics, which
have recently been complied by a
weil-known wine dealer, will prove in
teresting to the average reader:
There are over 100000 acres of land
in this country planted in vineyards.
and of this immense aggregate the
state of California claims 25O 900
acres, or over one-half The great
bulk of domestic raisins bought in
the markets of this country are made
from california grapes, and there are
: 10000 acres devoted to this culture
alone. Only four counties in the state
furnish grapes for raisins, but this
year the output for the state will be
something like 100000 boxes, valued
at $4,000 000 California raises all of
the varieties of grapes that are pro-
duced in European countries, includ-
ing the Cabernet, Sauvignon, Carba-
net, Franc, Malbeck, Tarnat. Merlot
and St. Laurent grapes from the Bor-
deaux districts of France; Martaros
grapes from the island of Palos;
Semilfons and Sauvignons from Sau-
terne; Pinot and Petit Sirrah grapes
from the Burgundy districts; Johan-
nesbergers, Traminers and Franken
Rieslings from the storied Rhine;
Chasselas grapes from Alsace-Lor-
raine,- and the rich Bergers from Mo-
selle. The famous Chaliosa and Folie
Blanche cognac grapes are also large
ly grown, the wine from them being
made into brandy. Then there are
rich Spanish Muscats and the favorite
Hungarian table grape, the Flaming
Tokay. In no other vine region in the
world are all these splendid grapes
found growing side by side But it is
fact that with all their royal lineage
these famous vineyards would be of
no account at all if virility were not
given them by grating upon varieties
of our native wild grape, which alone
resists that deadly enemy of the for
eign grape vines, the phylloxera, and
which transmit their resistant quality
to the alien vine''

Dying Confession.

According to a dispatch from Lin
coin, Neb., Sheriff Bronson has re-
Gently received a letter from H. D.
Long, mailed at Whatcom, Washing
ton, to the effect that a miner had
died in the Klondike who claimed to
have been the man who murdered
Chicago's multi-millionaire, A. J.
Smell, some years ago, and who so
completely dropped out of sight, not
withstanding the army of detectives
that was on his trail, as to never
have been definitely heard from since
that time. According to Mr.. Longs
story, he made a complete confession
to him before he died, and he told
him where a number of valuables
might be found, which were taken
from SHELLS apartments at the time
he was murdered. This man, who
called himself John Smith, seems to
have given pretty straight account
of himself, and some of the things
that he told Long or his deathbed
have since been verified by the
sheriff of the county in which Lin
coin, Neb., is situated, where Smith
once lived and where he and his part
ner in the Smell crime once served a
term in the state penitentiary. Long
seems to have a longing to make a
few dollars out of the information
that he has thus so strangely come
in the possession of, and offers to di
vide the spoils with the sheriff pro
viding he will not let anybody else in
on the deal. 1t would be the clearing
up of mysterious murder if it should
be proved that this man Smith killed
Smell, and yet the story is very much
doubted by persons acquainted with
the facts surrounding the murder Of
the Chicago millionaire. The sheriff
is waiting for further developments
but thus far have come to no under
standing with Long one way or the
other.

Be True to Yourself.

Be True to Yourself.
That the black men of the United
States have a hard time to make
their way among their white brethren
is a self-evident truth; that they arc
often murdered and massacred with
out cause or prOVocation is also self
evident, and that it is impossible for
them to attain high official honors on
account of their color is also quite
true, but none of these things detract
from their citizenship. He may not
be able to do thus and so in this town
or in any other town, but in as much
as there are between ten and twelve
million colored folk in this country, if
they desire these things it is an easy
matter for them to form communi-
ties of their own and enjoy these lux
uries. Such a course is not here ad-
vocated but is brought out to prove
that the citizenship of the Negro of
this country is not a visionary theory.
The Negro makes his money and
spends it in some cases more lavishly
than he makes it. He seems to enjoy
spending it that way, and putting up
for rainy day seldom ever comes to
his mind, and the spending of his
money in those stores and places OF
business that will recognize members
Of his race is never given a considera-
ton by him. Though there are, COM
paratively speaking, but a few col
ored folk in the city of Seattle. the
assertion is here ventured that if
they would concentrate their trade i'll
one or two stores, such stores would
fall over themselves to give some
young cOlored man or woman clerk
ship. The average American, regard
less of his color, is looking for bust
ness, and when the black man can
demonstrate to him that he can turn
business his way, he is going to do
business with him just the same as
with the white man, but when the
black man goes in, buys what he
wants, makes no demands nor asks
no favors, but spends his money.
there are no favors to be granted.

'Poor White Boy"

FOOF WnICe BOY.
A hue and cry has gone up from
the South, and has been taken up by
some OF the people of the North with
philanthropic turn of mind, for the
industrial education of the poor
white boy" of the South According
to Richard H. Edmunds, of Baltimore,
the poor white boy of the South is
without educational opportunities
wherein he can learn industrial arts
and technical information. While on
the other hand the colored boy of the
South has opportunities galore for
these, and he is making the best of
them. Hampton Institute, Tuskegee,
and a hundred and one other similar
institutions making less pretensions
but accomplishing almost as much,
boys of the South, and the advan-
tages which they obtain from these
bNAAOOAo oAC SOOQ ISSutLS-
These schools are teaching them to
use the hand as well as the head, and
the skilled labor of the South will
soon be done almost entirely by them,
while the white boy of the South is
learning nothing but politics and how
to disfranchise his brother in black.
For years and years the poor white
boy has been taught that it was a dis
grace for him to labor, whether as a
skilled mechanic or as common
laborer. This has been instilled into
him so long that it has become a sec
ond nature to him and he yet looks
upon it in derision, and while a few
here and there show some signs of
wanting to break away from the old
school, yet such are few and far
apart, and though it be heart-rending
to the leading Southern white man
to see the black boy becoming the
real dependence of the land, and his
own boys idlers, yet it is so and it is
so because they have taught them to
be so, and for them to make any inn
provements over their present con
dition it will require half a century
of teachings just the opposite to what
they have been teaching them for the
past two hundred years.

A BilIion-DoIIar Product.

The United States is a billion-dollar
country in mineral products. Govern
ment reports recently published show
that for the calendar year 1900 our
mineral products had a value of
$1,070, ,108,S89, against $535 900, 900 in
1887, and $356,OOO,O 900 in 1880. Of the
total in 1900, 1888 3,41S.627 consisted of
metallic products and $516, 6,69O,2f2 of
non-metallic. First in the list of min
eral products stands pig iron, with
value of $259, 944,0OO. Bituminous coal
had value of $221,133,513; copper,
$9S,494, 600; Pennsylvania anthracite,
$85,757, ,851; petroleum, $75,752,691.
Our gold product was $79,322,281. and
our silver product was $77,O70,461.
In 1900 our copper product was more
valuable by $1S,000,00O than our gold
product and was more valuable by
$21 100000 than our silver product,
and yet there was such a demand for
copper that in the fiscal year 1901 we
imported copper. including ore and
regulus, to the value of $2O,5S1. 900.
There has been great increase in
our gold product, but the greatest in
crease in minerals is in those prod
ucts that enter largely into the man
ufacturing industries. While our gold
product was $36.00O,00O in 1880 and
our silver product $3S,45O,OOO, our to-
tai OF mineral products had a value
of only $356,OO0,OOO In twenty years
the gold product has increased in
value to $79.322, 900, and our total
mineral products have increased to a
value of $1,O70,O00 900.
