TILLMAN FAILED.
Tried to Convert Wisconsin Students
to His Views.

Madison, Wis. March 20-United
States Senator TiIlman of South Caro-
lima, delivered an address en- THE Ne
gro Question From Southern Stand
point before an audience of 1900 uni
versity students, citizens and lawmakers
at the university gymnasium last night.
When he arose to speak he was greet
ed with the university yell A rather
sensational incident occurred while Sen
ator Tillman was discussing the Indian
ola postoffice case. After stating the
southern view of the affair. he asked
whether the audience approved of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's action and there was
applause Being uncertain whether the
applause was intended as an indOrSe-
ment of the presidents action, the SEN
atOr asked how it was meant He was
told by some one in the audience that
it was meant as an endorsement of the
president. This aroused the senator. He
went into all the details of the Indianola
affair and when he concluded. asked his
hearers whether it would not have been
better for the president to have kept
the office open and punished the few
hotheads that caused the trouble than
to have punished the entire community
by closing the office2
When he concluded he asked those
who believed the Office should have been
kept open to raise their hands. Only
a few responded by putting up their
hands.
In the main his address was much
like other recent utterances of his on
the same subject He condemned the
negro to eternal inferiority to the white
man.

THE PROFlT-SHARING PLAN

elected all kinds of comments, from
unqualified endorsement to unqualified
denunciation Those who opposed
and ridiculed it did so on the theory
that it Is scheme to get tine men
'roped in SO thet they can not en-
gage in strikes, because if they quit
the service of one of the companies
they forfeit the stock money due them.
But the proposition looks to an out
the profits due to an employe are large
enough to make it an object for him
to refuse to quit and remain in the
service it is his look out and he can
not complaip-he is the one that is
concerned. 1t is straight business
proposition, and if he does get through
all right and securs share of the
profits he is that much ahead. But
if he is so fully justified in striking
that he decides to quit he is surely in
no worse fix than he would have been
without the offer of the present plan.
If no start is made in such things
nothing can be ever be accomplished,
Anyhow it was stated yesterday at

There Is only one period for the ac-

large extent, these things must be sup

THE statement does not represent

PAYING IN FULL.

Two young ladies were travelling in
town on the car the other day. Each
insisted" upon paying both fares.
Finally the one who had thrust her
dime frantically to the fore, had 1t &c.
cepted. The other closed her pocket
book with apparent reluctance yet with
snappy rapidity.
WELL" she said tartly "at" the
other.
"Oh, that's all right, you know"
came the reply, 1--WE owed you two
dollars for six months anyway"
This shows that people know where
there Is a debt existing. The young
lady's intention was good but about
sl.95 shy. The public has been owed
something, too, for a long time, and is
now having the debt cancelled. Bath,
the plumber, is paying in full and the
public is getting the Douglas Patent
Closet.
