the act has been learned. The cor

PRESIDENT HAS DONE HARM

Washington, Oct. 9-Hender-
son M. Somerville of Alabama,
chairman of the board of general
appraisers in the customs service,
has not gained favor with the ad-
ministration by an article over
his signature in the current mum
ber of leading review in which
he critIcises the Presidents at
titude toward the race issue with
freedom that is remarkable in
view of the fact that he holds
Federal appointment by the grace
of Mr.. Roosevelt. In this ar
licIe Mr.. Somerville says:
"The disturbing effect of Pres.
ident Roosevelt's attitude toward
the negro can never be adequate
ly estimated in it's retardation
of the solution of the race prob.
lem which is staggering American
craftsmanship. The appoint
ment OF the negro Crum( as col
lector of custom at the port of
Charleston in opposition 20 the
known sentiment even of the Re-
publican Senators and oher like
Presidential politicians produced
great excitement ia the South
and reopened the( wounds of
race prejudice, which were grad
ually being allaySd. These is
sues were made paramount in the
recent Democratic primaries in
the State of Mississippi, where a
most exciting election was held
The result was the nomination of
candidate for Governor who
av0wedly tolerated negro lynch
ing and strenuously opposed the
policy of negro education"
1t is not probable that the ar.
ticle will be made the ground for
his moval from office.
For some time there has been
more or less friction between the
board of general appraisers and
Treasury Department, growing
out of difference of opinion as
to the exact relations between
them. Some members, and chief
among them Mr. Somerville, have
held that the board was in a
large measure independent of the
departments and occupied a po-
sition analogous to that Of a Uni
ted States court.

Though the memory OF Henry Ward

are making strong objection against
changing the name OF Clinton street

An enthusiastic sightseer in Lon-
don was telling her friend that she

the reply; quite slim, / assure you."
Six members Of the Kansas legisla-

Ford; w. H. Weldon, Of Clark; w.
w. Martin, Of Morton; Fred Friar,
OF Wichita; X. B. Campbell, Of
Meade, and Sherman william, Of
Stanton. "Chalk" Beeson is dean Of
the outfit. He has always been .
cowboy, though he owns fine ranch
in the southwestern part Of the state
and keeps it stocked with from 700
to 1000 cattle. It was Beeson who
in 1880 got together a real cowboy
band, which later became famous all
over the country.
Senator Warren, Of Wyoming, tow

fight started between two mem

unable to stop it. Warren moved
down from his desk and threw both
of the fighting legislators out Of the
hall. But before he had accomplished
that one of the warriors in trying to
hit his combatant with a heavy ruler
struck Warren on the hand. Several
bones were broken and the hand has
been disabled ever since.
When John D. Long was secretary

SO one morning when the secretary

body for drunkenness he embraced
the occasion to deliver temperance
lecture, being a teetotaler himself.
"Of course, Mr.. Skeeyrs," he said,
you do not drink" "Oh, certainly
not. Mr.. Secretary" was the reply,
"only for medicinal purposes. gen.
