Will Rebound In Fame.

Vienna, June 29.-The action of the
American government In regard to the
petition to the czar regarding the Klshi-
neff massacre, is watched with the closest
attention here on account of It's possible
effect on eastern affairs. The Neue Freie
Presse says:
President Rooseyelt's influence with
Russia will rebound to his undying fame
The Russian autocracy cannot remain I'M
moved by the fact that the President is
an advocate of humanity and reminds 1t
and the whole world of the duties it
owes to humanity and justice

How much more sensible and satisfactory
would be the arrangement If the county
paid the expenses of the poorhouse and
gave to its keeper a salary commensur
ate with the care and responsibility en-
tailed upon him.
The sheriff OF each county is IN the
same painful position. his income depend
Ing In great measure on the number of
prisoners committed to his care, therefore
subject to fluctuation, and necessarily
most unsatisfactory. The idea was adj
vanced In the conversation that 1t would
be good plan to write a letter to each
county sheriff and request his opinion as
to the merits of the present plan, compar-
ed with that of salary based on his
average gain from this source and others
during i've years. The opinions OF body
of men so experienced and so we'll ac-
qualnted with the subject would be cal
liable.
My interest In these subjects rest large
~ upon the fact that 1 am secretary for
Alabama of one Of the grandest and most
beneficient organizations now existing,
namely THE International Charities and
Corrections association" The membership
Of this society is made up of the leaders
Of humanity throughout the world. Its
object is to study theoretically and prac-
tioally the best methods of dealing with
dependents, detectives and delinquents-
those heavy burdens upon every nation on
earth. Every civilized country in the
world including every state In the union,
has a secretary whose business 1t Is to
report annually every advance or retro
gression In the care and cure of these
unfortunates, also to gather all statistics
which can be helpful in the study of the
INTRICATE problems connected with the
subject. l did not seek this position; in
deed did not know of It's existence until
II was, so to speak, thrust upon me. The
lamented Or. Bryce was ting first secre-
tary for Alabama. After his death, the
general secretary wrote to our secretary
of state to ask for the name of some citi-
zen of this state willing to undertake this
office. bearing of course, without remun-
Grafton, any expense and trouble involved.
The secretary seut him my name and
did not feel that could consistently with
my duty to our state, refuse to accept
the office. l mention this fact In explana-
ition to those, now happily few, who hold
that the cobbler should not go beyond
his last, the woman beyond her distaff,
the teacher beyond the text book.

Scott of Tuskeeee.

Louisville, June 29.-At the annnal ses-
sion of the Afro-American Press asso-
| citation held here today a strong address
dealing with the race question was unan-
imously adopted for issuance to the coun-
try at large. The address calls on the
people to enforce the principles of good
government in the present crisis in the
history of the Afro-American people,
when a systematic and thoroughly organ
lied movement began in 1868, is working
with malicious and malignant energy to
utterly destroy the civil and political
rights of those for whom we stand in
some part as spokesman.
Not a White Mans Country.
I'VE resent the reiterated statement
that this is white mans country 1t
was made in its inception and develop
ment by all of its people irrespective of
race, and the federal constitution specific
ally places all Of its citizens on equality
before the law.
''The persistent effort which has been
made and Is being made to nullfy the
suffrage guarantees of the fourteenth
and fifteenth amendments to the federal
constitution, is fraught with as much
danger to the peace and security of the
federal union as was the effort to hitch
slavery upon the constitution of the coun-
try prior TO 1860.
Eve again direct attention to the eff
feet produced by the license of the mob
spirit. We do this not because we are
the victims in most part of this license,
but because 1t has become a national
problem with which the nation in its
public opinion and its laws must deal, or
ultimately go down to ruin In the mad
overflow of anarchistic passion and
fury. 1t is national problem in which
we have only coordinate interest"
