WHAT NEGRO WANTS
He Wants Political Rights, but
Doesn't Aspire to Social
Equality.
w. R. Morris Discusses Prest. Roose-
yelt's Policy With Reference
to the Black Brother.

!: President Roosevelt's policy with regard
to southern negroes has made many
stanchz friends for him among the colofed
men. William r. Morris, a local attorney
and himself a negro, said this morning
that he believed the president course
would ultimately rebound to the advant-
age of the negro race, although, at tne,
same time, lie admitted that it might, In
some districts, in the south, stir up more
bitter enmity4 than now exists between
whites and blacks. Said he:s
1T do not, for a. moment. question that
the presidents attitude is the: right one
the only attitude that a. man who pre-
tends to be president Of the entire GQun-
try could assume but ISrealize that. it
NAV cause trouble. The south is be-
coming more tolerant of5the negro in GER
ia IN ways but 1t hasn't yet given up the
idea of his ma tural inferiority nor. its be-
lief that his place is merely that ola,
servant. The better class OF southerners,
however, is beginning to realize that no
countryscan be progressive. that it cannot
develop. its resources to the: best advant-
iZe too that it is to their own advantage
that the negro be better treated and bet
ter educated. since they rely upon him to
do their work.
This race quest ion will never be set
tied until it is, is settled Either the
l
or given all his rights. There can be no
half way methods. Even, II the negro
himself could be satisfied. there are other
people who wouldn't be. people who believe
that such a government as ours can not
succeed unless all are given equal rights.
| TO day even the government draws the
color line. There are four colored regi-
ments. in, the regular army, and they arc
almost wholly officered by whites. Tn
til the Spanish American war there was
not a colored commissioned officer in the
army. Z Now we have four captains and
two lieutenants. A negro may not enlist
in the regular army unless vacancies ex-
list in one of these regiments This Is a

II believe the. solution of the problem
rests in the education Of the negro
1 Higher education has tendency to breal
down racial characteristics offensive tt
other races. This does not apply to the
negro alone but to all races The ne

1903 PRICES OF ORE
Advance About as Estimated, 80
Cents on Mesabas and IS Cents
on Old Ranges.
Lake Superior Mines Expected to
Take Out 5o,ooo,ooo Tons Dur
ing the Season.

Special Ia The journal.
Duluth Mimi, Feb. 2S-A- telegram from
Cleveland was received here to-day giving
the prices for iron ores the coming sea
son, as agreed on there They are much
the same as previously estimated, but
there are some changes. The basis for
Mesaba Bessemer ores is 81 a ton and for
old range Bessemers "a. 80 a ton. This is
an advance of SO cents ton oil the former
and IS cents on the latter
The guaranty Besserner ores is 63
per cent iron. .0045 per cent of phosphorus
and 10 per cent of moisture. AS the ore
varies from the guaranty basis, the price
varies, of course. Vermilion ores will
bring from s5.25 to $3.50 ton because of
their higher percentage of iron, etc.
For the Mesaba ores, there are three
grades under the Bessemer guaranty,
based on the physical character Of the
ore, that is. their degrees Of fneness.
No. LOT which the Biwabik and Steven
son are instances, bring "a a ton the high
est price; No. 2, like the Commodore and
Lincoln ores. bring $3.50. and No. 3, like
the Malloning, will bring 1915.
Mesaba non-bessemer,. ores will bring
SIS. 20 a ton and old range non-bessenaers
$3.50, the guaranty being 60 per cent Of
iron and L. per cent of moisture This is
an advance Of about SO cents ton. All
of these PRICES are, of course, based upon
delivery at Lake Erie ports.
Under the mining schedules as made
out, Lake Superior mines are to take out
$4,000, 900 tons if they reach the limit.
They never do, however. and 30,000,00O
tons will be nearer the right amount. OF
the total the Mesaba is to mine 1850. 600
tons and the old ranges 1890, 900 tons:
OF the Mesaba output there will be
about 100000 tons for sale, that is. ore
that does not belong to the Steel corpora
tfon or to other furnace companies. but
will be sold in the market by independent
miners. OF that amount Corrigan, Nc
kinney, & Co will mine more than half
taking 1.15O000 tons from the Stevenson
mine, $50, 900 from the Lincoln and about
10000 tons from other mines.

Compound!
RAPIDLY REPAIRS
Wasted Tissue, Puts II in Firm Condition,
and EIDGS Waste P0lSOlS From
The System.

The tissues of the human body are. rap
idly wasted by fevers, and great quantities
of waste poison are poured into the blood.
The rapid breakdown OF tissue and the
charging of the blood with poisons bring
unfortunate victims to a condition OF
weakness and helplessness that is pitiable
to behold. Thousands of young and old
who. ha We. just passed the critical stages
of typhoid. inflamma tory. gastric, typhus,
intermittent and other forms of fevers,
demand the closest attention and best
-trea tment if life is to- be saved.
With true candor, honesty and earnest
ness suggest and urge the use of
lures nerve food and nourisher, Paine,s
Celery Compound the only medicine in
the world that has proven its value as
builder of wasted tissue. bracer of weak
and irritated nerves, a never failing blood
purifier and enricller. Paine's Celery
Compound has made tens of thousands
well and strong; it has saved afflicted
ones form the grave where everything else
has failed. No other medicine SO quickly
fortifies feeble men and women; it gives
them that robust health that makes life
a@joy.
