inspire the mind, brain and heart
of every negro man woman and child

COMPLETING FlFTIETH YEAR

The HoIIenberg Music Company Es-
tablished 1853.
The piano and organ house of Hol-
lenberg was established in 1853, and
is, therefore, rounding up it's half-cen-
tury of existence.
At this joyous season the present
management deems it particularly fit
ting to offer it's thanks to a generous
public, the patronage of which has
made possible such an enviable and
exceptional achievement.
When it is considered that these
thanks are given in some instances
to the children of several generations
Of the past, faint idea will be obtain
ed Of the number Of people who have
served and is confirmation Of the fact
that that service has at all times been
the result Of conscientious and intelli-
gent effort
The word reliable, in it's complete
definition. perhaps best conveys the
principle which has successfully car
ried the house Of Hollenberg over all
the trials and vicissitudes through
which it and the people OF the south
and southwest have passed in the
last five decades.
The present management is proud
OF the record of the past fifty years,
and hopes to so merit a continued
large patronage that in the future it
may be remembered, as we remember
and honor the founder, II. G. Hollen-
berg.-Arkansas Gazette.

M. Davis, Insurance Commissioner. -
Dear Sir: Your first report Of the trans
actions of your Office since its establish
ment. presented for filing on July 20.
1901. is hereby returned for correction
for the following reasons, to-wit:
In the matter of annual licenses you
do not show how many life insurance Ii.
censes and how many fire insurance H.
censes were sold.
again the, fee for certificates of au-
thority for life insurance is S and the
fee for certificates Of authority for fire in
surance is s..
"Your report does not segregate these
fees to show how many of each class, nor
does the total amount sworn to check
either at IS or s..
Further, your report does not show
the number Of companies having filed
articles of Incorporation, charters and
annual reports.
AS a matter of fact, your report
should from whom these moneys were
received, but as it would necessitate your
going over the work of your department

no trouble to include this. 1t might also
be as we'll to include the total amount of
premium tax received during the period
specified and thereby show the total
amount and class of all money received
through your department.
II also call your attention to the fact
that the affidavit is so defective that it
would not be acceptable before any court,
as it does not say that the statements are
full, true and correct. 1t is certainly
just as easy to have it right as to have
it wrong. f. w. JONES.

his vote, is false. As a matter Of fact no
man could afford to pay $500 for any State
Office, and all Of the candidates being
rather poor men or men Of limited means,
such an expenditure was not possible. 1t is
not that this story is told Of a Republican
convention which causes the Journal TO
object in fact. it would object if it were
told OF "A Democratic state convention, il
false. because il gives the impression that
bribing is a common practice in the politics
Of this State. which is not the case. The
Journal does not believe that money is used
TO buy delegates to a state convention of
either party Indeed, the impression pre-
walls that If money is used in such conven-
tions less is expended in Indiana than in
other States. Yet the New York World has
p startling headline. Tap Barrels for
Needy HOLSTERS" Such a statement is a
SANDER which all Indianians should resent
The most deplorable result of such declara-
tons is that they lead people who read
yellow newspapers to believe that nominal

the part of many quite intelligent people is
calculated to destroy their respect for pop
ular government, which would be calam-

The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1902-04-28
a WAR For HUMANITY.

The country is hearing a good deal nova
days about wars of humanity" The ex-
preston was first used to characterize our
war with Spain, which begun for the
avowed purpose of ending Spanish rule in
Cuba and of lberating the Cubans and
giving them self-government That was a
humane purpose and the was not in
aptly termed a war for humanity. OF
course that did not mean that the war was
not to be fought to a finish or that the
enemy was not to be attacked wherever he
was found and punished until he sur
rendered. Admiral Dewey did not fire
blank cartridges at the Spanish fleet in
Manila bay. He did not take particular
pains to avoid hurting anybody. and he
kept on smashing the Spanish ships until
they were all sunk, burned or captured.
Yet he was prosecuting a war for human
ity. The same spirit was shown at the
battle OF FL Caney and in the destruction
Of Cervera's fleet. Our soldiers and sailors,
officers and men, understood they were
there to fight the enemy into complete sub
mission and they proposed to do it regard
teSS VI HON many pSople Hllbhl NC hllieu OF
hurt. Yet it was a war for humanity be-
cause its ultimate object was humane.
The leaders of the Democratic party who
are trying TO make an issue out of the con-
duct OF the war In the Philippines have
changed the expression to suit their pur-
pose. Instead of a war for" humanity
they now demand a war of humanity
gol,
enemy shall not be roughly handled. in
which, If possible, no person on the other
side shall be hurt. and which shall not be
fought to finish. Their idea of war
of humanity is that when American soldiers
are smitten on one cheek they shall turn
the other. and that enemies in arms shall
be killed with kindness instead of with
bullets. Their contention is absurd and in
| sincere. No war was ever conducted on
/ the principle which they pretend TO think
should have been adopted or should be
adopted now in the Philippines. No war
since the world was created was ever con-
Quoted on that principle. There have been
/ wars for humanity because they aimed at
/ a humane or noble purpose. but there never
was a war in which both beligerents did
not do their best 10 hurt. kill and destroy
/ each other and compel submission of the
| enemy. The war in the PhHippines-which.
/ by the way. is practically ended-has been
a war for humanity because il has aimed
at the extension of free government and
the establishment OF American sovereignty
in a rightful possession. but 1t does not
follow that IL should have been conducted
on a plan different from other wars. In
his speech few days ago Senator Rawiins
denounced General Smith for ordering
] Major Waller to make the island OF Samar
