The Ideal nursery.

In an article on IAN Ideal Nursery"
by Carrie May Ashton, in the Mothers
Journal, It is urged that children be
made so happy In the nursery that they
will be made happy twenty years hence
by the memory of 1t. a large, light,
sunny room is perfect delight to most
children. and makes them stronger men
tally, morally and physically. Simple.
ity should be the keynote here and har-
mony throughout the furnishings. Tint
the walls or use plain ingram paper
of soft tan color or sage green, which
makes IN admirable background for
pictures. A hardwood floor, with a
large rug, is easy to keep clean and
preferable from a sanitary point of
view. Low bookcases filled with the
children's books should be found here;
also place for their specimens, writ.
ing desk, comfortable couch and plen.
ty OF chairs. There should be an abun.
dance of cupboard space, with deep
drawers in closet opening out of this
room sufficient for each child, where
games, toys and other treasures can be
carefully slowed away!

The little Republic of Venezuela is
now seeing more men-of-war with
blood in their eyes than any other
Republic in South America has ever
before seen. Great Britain and Ger
many have in the neighborhod of
twelve men-of-war around the harbors
OF Caracas and La Guayra, and the
United States has an armOured fleet
in her waters, of which Admiral Dew
ey is the head, consisting of fifty
three fighting ships. The cause Of
this great demonstration arises from
the fact that Venezuela has refused
to pay some financial obligations held
by the English and German Govern
ments against her The general public
will remember that it was only a few
years ago that the German Govern
ment made similar demonstration in
the Haytiian waters in order to brow
beat that Republic into paying it an
Indebtedness and now Venezuela is
being similarly treated, and, that too,
despite the fact that the Monroe Doc
trine is supposed to protect the lesser
governments of America from being
over-awed by European powers be-
cause they have the men, money and
means to do so. In preparing to wage
war on Venezuela in order to make
her pay her debts, England is carry
ing out one Of its fundamental prin-
ciples. imprisoning men for the non
payment of their debts. 1t is hoped
that the United States government
will say to both England and Ger
many, Thus far and no further, and
if single gun is fired Americas in
terest will be protected against Eu.

Negroes Are Much Wanted.

Negroes Are Much Wanted.
The cotton planters of Missis.
sippi are up in arms against
labor agents. who are entic.
ing Negroes from the farms to
work on the railroads and other pub
lie works, both in the city country in
different states, and they threaten
summary vengeance on such agents,
unless they Immediately desist from
their disturbing work among the Ne
groes. Here is a bundle Of inconsis-
tencies that ought to make a horse
laugh. Wherever you find a number
of SOutherners among the whites con-
gregated together there you find all
kind of abusive villifications and vi
tuperations poured out upon the heads
Of the Negroes as being unworthy of
citizenship and decent treatment at
the hands Of a white man in any
state or community of the Union. If
those people be one-tenth as bad as
they are pictured to be by the South
ern whites it would seem that they
would take it as God send to get rid
of the black wretches and would say,
God be with you" to any and every
agent that would take them out of the
country. But not so, they not only
make it impossible for the Negroes
themselves to get out Of the country.
but they introduce the 1ynchers'
limb" to the white agent that will take
them where they are wanted for their
labor. The Negro as found in most of
the Southern communities is, it must
be admitted, not that polished and re-
fined citizen that is generally found
among the whites in all sections of
the country, but he is a docile, hard
working animal" with a heart in him
as big and generous as a mountain,
and will become a useful citizen in
any community if treated half way
decent, and, If the whites of the South
want him, they should make some eff
fort toward mending their ways of
mistreatment accorded him if they ex.
pect to hold him either by force or
favor

beautiful prima donnas and it's great
chorus 1T is one of the few real
funny shows that lived up to all it's
promises, (that is what the San Fran

tion for their first annual benefit per-
formance at the Grand Opera House

Regarding the play a well known
critic says:
1t is worth the price of admission
alone to see the three famous coined
ians and the great travesty on the
''Floradora Sextette," which goes like
a whirlwind Every one of the many
novelties and specialties command no
less than five to ten encores.
The play is tremendous hit and is
deserving of all the praise that it has
been accorded by both press and pub
lie. The cast is a large one and in.
cludes the original comedians, Sam
Soman and Bobbie Harris, whose droll
work fairly convulses the audiences.

An Afro-American League was
organized at the A. NJ. E. Church
last Wednesday evening under the di-
rection of Rev. Pettigrew, who is
now engaged in organizing such
leagues in the Pacific states. Rev.
Pettigrew hopes through the several
leagues to bring about a greater de
sire among the Afro-Americans to ac-
quire homes add real property. If the
organization succeeds some time in
the very near future an organ will be
published in it's interest. Nothing will
do more to bring about a united pur-
pose on the part Of the Negroes Of this

passengers. AS a result of this divi-
sion, so says the New Orleans Demo
crat, the colored folks not patronizing
the cars as well as the whites always
had plenty Of comfortable seats when
they did ride. while the whites had
to hang onto straps, to the outside and
to crawl on top, OF wait sometimes for
an hour in order to get a car. This
became SO monotinous to the whites
that the law was declared unconsti-
tutional by the Supreme Court more
to relieve the situation than for the
legal merits in the case If railroad
companies running lines of cars
through the Southern states would
set apart coach for eolored folks, it
it barely possible that the same con-
ditions would bring about similar re-
suits all over the South, and the whites
themselves would move for the over
throw of the law and thereby rid the
country Of a damnable curse as well
as nuisance.

make any alliance whatever with them
and as a result Seattle is practically
standing alone in political matters
with not another single ally from any
other section Of the state, and the Pie
maker would not be surprised to see
Tacoma accomplish it's purpose, not
only in the coming legislature, but in
the subsequent legislatures. The pol

ment, and as a result they will be left
out in the cold, or be forced to sup

that 80 per cent. Of her citizens are
bitterly opposed to, in order to get any
consideration whatever at the hands
of the eighth legislature
If what the Comment, a weekly pub
lished at Aberdeen, be true, the mem
bers of he legislature elected from
that county favor first, John L. Wilson
for United States senator, second.
Harold Preston, and are absolutely
opposed to Levi Ankeny. This state
ment, however, is not borne out by the
Bulletin of Aberdeen, which claims
that Mr.. Ankeny has a majority, if not
all, OF the members Of the legislature
from that county The above is re-
peated for the express purpose of
bringing out the fact that the sena-
torial situation is still in the air and
is no mans victory, as yet. Last week
the Pie-maker said the odds at that
time favored Mr.. Ankeny, which is
still true but Mr. Ankeny is advised
that If he expects to win he will have
to hustle good deal more than he
has already hustled, and that is saying
a good deal. The same is true of
both Mr.. Preston and Mr. Wilson.
Already the deficiency crop, which
is always so prolific at each legisla-
ture, has begun to put in it's appear
ance, and from present prospects the
eighth legislature will have the larg-
est deficiency problem to deal with of
any previous legislature of this state,
and that is saving quite a hit II is
learned from the Olympia Recorder
that Gwinn Hicks will put in def
cheney claim Of $26,OOOOO for printing.
Mr.. Hicks was warned not to do the
work as there were no funds to pay
for it, but he said he was willing to
take his chances Of the legislature
