to fail. The militia and police closely
guard all approaches to the flooded dis.

An Associated Press launch crossed
to Arnourdale and cruised for miles
thru water lanes that were formerly

deep, and all of the 10000 inhabitants
have fed. Except the watchmen in the
packing houses on the river front, not
a human being Is to be seen or even
domestic animal. Armourdale will
not be inhabited for long time after
the flood subsidies. Every building is
more or less damaged and hundreds
are utterly ruined. A strong current
has set thru the. town, and the river
may persist in flowing In this course.
In tn. old channel in front of Armour
dale, the stream flows moderately. bu.
thru the town the water rushes nladly.
On the fiat roofs Of the houses uncov-
cred :, foot of mud lies.
Kaesas avenue the principal thor
oughfare of Armourdale, Is choked
twenty feet deep with debris. The
brick buildings have stood. losing all
their windows, but the water has pack
ed the streets with rubbish. The clear

the work of months.
In the bottoms west of Kansas City

assistants, there is a disposition to rel
egate the colored brother to the "back
seats" of politics and there consign him
to perpetual Oblivion where he may
never rise to give his white brother
any trouble, or where the door of hope
may always be shut to him.
We are not especially lamenting
over the loss of political prestige in
the State, as we are not a politician
and never was. Moreover, we have
never seen anything in politics for the
poor man, especially the poor Negro.
We say we are not lamenting over the
departed glory, but we are somewhat
disappointed in the treatment of the
Negro by the party that gave him his
freedom and the party that he has
served so faithfully all these years.
The loyalty of the Negro to the re-
publican party is as old as his free
dom. Indeed, the Negro in the South
has often voted against his true
friends in order that he might remain
loyal to the republican party
For one to be anything else than
a republican among Southern Negroes
has been to receive a badge of reproach
from his fellows. The Negro there
fore, feels that when the republican
party "goes back on him he has lost
the only hope left for him, and Caesar
like, he drops his hands and exclaims,
And thou, too, Brutus."
The politicians believe that since
large majority of the party in the
State is made up of the Negroes that
there is due some recognition at the
hands of the government
The position taken by President
Roosevelt concerning the recognition
of any citizen of merit is the one
- l.; n4 nCf will
prevent separate organizations of Ne
groes and Lilly Whites in Texas.
The situation is not encouraging for
the ambitious Negro politician and we
see little in it for anyone. We may
sum up the situation in the Lone Star
State as follows: The Negro is with
out true leadership in Texas politics.,
is. therefore. used by white politicians
TO further their ends-their ends being
the federal pie counter" that there
are many Negro politicians in the
State. who, if their efforts were united,
might secure recognition at State
convention, if not at the ''pie counter"
that on account of the want of conf
dence in Negro leadership the repub-
ucan organization is in the hands of
the white politicians, though the Negro
furnishes the votes and the "whooping
nm" that all federal places of impor
tance in the State are held by the
white brother with slight chance of its
ever being otherwise; that with the
demise of the Negro politician de-
parted.
The echo of Mr.. Tillman's speech in
CONGRESS is still sounding over the
prairies of Texas and the Negro is
standing breathless while he listens to
this great apostle. We only trust that
out of this speech may come in some
way much good to the Negro in this

Mrs. Nation Started Something.

Mayo Thomas, county attorney Of
Montgomery county, was elected by
the temperance people and he soon
had all drinking places closed up
tight, but at a certain date every
thipg opened wider than ever. Then
the story was circulated that the
county attorney got fee for every

Mrs. Nation got hold of the story and
she hurried to the sceneo of action.
At Cherryvale she held meetings and
raised 500 for prosecution purposes.
Now she els at independence and at a
public meeting accused Mayo
Thomas, the attorney concerned, of
getting so cents for each bottle sold,
from the brewers, or $4,000 a year.
She said she had offers of the serv-
ices of Cherryvale lawyers who
promised to have Thomas behind the
bars in so days, and Independence
people subscribed 500 more. It is
said Thomas gave SIS to this sum to
prosecute himself. g.

Never in the history oof medicine in this

sation by its marvellous cures of the most
extreme cases as Dodd's Kidney Pills.
o This wonderful medicine seems to know
no limit in its wonder working power.
Long-standing cases that have defed the
most expert medical treatment seem to
yield easily to this new conqueror of dis
ease.
Hundreds have testified to the virtue
of Dodd's Kidney Pills. They tell of Sc
we're cases of Rheumatism, Lumbago,
Backaehe, Female Trouble, Nervous Dis
eases and even Dropsy, Diabetes and
Bright's Disease cured by this medicine.
Among those who have been benefited
may be mentioned Mrs. John Cooney of
this place. 90
Mrs. Cooney says:
Il believe Dodd's Kidney Pills the best
remedy ever known for Kidney Trouble
and weak back.
"They are without exception the best
medicine ] have ever used.
Il will always praise them highly, for
I know that they are good.''

Only 81 Counties DELINQUENT.

Seth G. Wells, auditor of state,
compiled figures which show that the
counties of the state owe the state
treasurer the sum of $67,017.25 in back
taxes. Some of these amounts have
been running for ten years. The
largest amount of back taxes due
from a county is from Wyandotte,
which owes the sum of SIS, 427.4s. On
ly 81 counties are in the delinquent
list. The smallest amount owed by
any one county is due from Meade,
$5s.7s. To Offset this claim of the state
against the counties the state owes
81 of the counties the sum of 3 $42,-
754.65 for the care of destitute insane,
for whom there was no room in the
state asylums.
