be taken off the market. "A Social
Lion,' by Margaret Horton Potter,
now Mrs. John Black, was suppressed
a few weeks after its publication sew

may have something to do with the
withdrawal of "Eshek the OppressOr," 4"
it is thought.
One part of "Eshek the OppressOr"
to be entirely changed in the new edi-
tiOn, it is said, is the blowing up of
an oil refinery in Texas by employees
of the trust, termed in the book the
Eastern Petroleum company. An
other feature probably to be much
changed or entirely eXpurgated is the
resuscitation of the hero, Jarvis Ken
nedy, by means of a salt solution, the
ideas of which scene the author is
said to have drawn from the inVestiga-
tions conducted by Prof. Loeb, of the
University of Chicago.
Jarvis Kennedy, imbued thoroughly
with sOcialistic doctrines and hatred
of trusts, is taken through a strenu-
Gus lot OF events, the first Of which IS
the stealing of 500 while wander
ing through the city streets, hopeless,
penniless and out of work" to pay his
fare to California, finally becoming the
owner of one of the richest tracts of
oil land in Texas. He prospers. The
fruitiOn of his plans seems almost at
tanned. But suddenly the horizon is
darkened. The Eastern Petroleum
company, against which Mrs. Daniels
makes her attacks, is rapidly getting
control of the Texas oil field. The
remainder of the book deals with Jar
Wis Kennedy's candidacy for governor,
and his defeat by the candidate sup
ported by the trust.

A Leader ? Reflect.

Speaking of the necessity for a Ma
tional Negro as the Washington. d. c.
Bee seemed to advocate the C0RSsrVa-
tor two weeks ago after quoting the
Bees remarks said:
The idea that the American Negro
needs a national leader in a sense in
which other people of this nation do
not need one is absurd and a reflection
on the race, and the assertion that he
can not trust himself IS unworthy of a
great paper like the Bee and does
great injustice to the evident push and
thrift of the Afro-Americans.
To this the Bee made this reply:
Our esteemed contemporary must
admit that the negro leader oftoday is
political necessity. Is it not a fact
Booker Washington has supplanted
the men in the South who assisted to
make and unmake Presidents? His in
dorsements are taken in preference TO
men who will be delegates to the next
National Convention.
To which the C0HSerVatOy would say
that it has never denied the necessity
for political. society, social and organ
ization leadership of any kind. Lead
erS for such things are recognized as a
necessity among all people. But these
must be limited TO territorial and or
ganization limits. For several reasons
10 person can be the national political
leader OF the negro and no thoughtful
person has ever regarded Mt. Wash
lngton as a political leader of any kind
to say nothing of national political
leader. II is said Mr. Washington has
the Presidents ear but at that he has
no authority and probably does not
speak Tor other Negroes besides him
self.
The COHSeyUfOT agrees with the
Bee in its coat ntiOn that the old line
of southern white Republicans COnsti-
tuted one of the most nObleSt and self
sacrihcin class of Republicans this
country ever knew and Of Mr. Wash
ington is using his influence with the
president to kill off and ignore the re-
naming feE of this class Of heroic men
he represents and his race as being
very ungrateiul. But of this the Con-
servatOr has spoken too often to repeat
it now.
The Chicago COnserUatOr one
among the leading journals in the
Vest agrees with THE BEE to some
extent. We desire to ask our able
ntempOrary whether it is posi-
lie for the negroes to have leaders.
Has there been enc since Douglass
who had the manhood and the
courage to attack administrative
powers when they commit wrongs?

ALARM FOR THE DEAF.
They Don't Hear the Rattle of the
Clock, But There Is Something
Else Doing.

The Anaconda Standard saws that
an alarm clock for deaf mutes is the
novel invention of Ella Cretzer. a
deaf mute in the employ of the
Washoe smelling plant.
The dropping of a pillow on the
sleeping person is the awakening
agent, and it is operated so that the
pillow falls at the desired time. An
ordinary alarm clock is placed in a
cigar box which fits it closely. It is
then nailed to the wall at the head
of the bed. A string connects the
clappeT of the alarm clock with an
ordinary spring mouse trap fastened
to the top of the cigar box. By a sys-
TEN of small pulleys and screw ewes
a pillow is fastened to the end of a
string and pulled to the ceiling ii.
rectly above the bed. An Ingenious
arrangement connects the other end
of the string to the mouse trap. The
clock is set, and when the alarm eoes
off the string attached to the hell
clapper springs the mouse tran and
releases the pillow, which drops on
the persons sleeping in the bed he
meath. when it does not hit me- Il
hits my WIFE" Mr.. CFetzer wrote on
q piece of paper, "and so 1 never miss

ANTITRUST NOVEL.

Mrs. Gertrude Potter Daniels new
novel, 'Eshek the Oppressor," a ro-
nance dealing with sOciaistic and
trust problems, was withdrawn from
the market by the publishers, less
than two hours after it was placed on
sale.
The real purpose of calling in the
publication, it is stated by the Chi
cago Inter Ocean, is TO expurgate
some of the parts in regard to trusts
which are deemed Objectionable by
the publishers, and to tone down the
socialistic features.
