Now that the hurrah Of the presidents

Now that the hurrah of the presidents
"swing around the circle" is ,subsiding
and the people are calming down after
the excitement of.his speeches fired from
the rear end Of a Pullman palace car We
would ask is President Roosevelt back
ing up his utterances withde From
speech delivered on June End at Deni
son, Ia, according to stsnographic re-
port he said:
II think you will do me the justice to
say that do not say what 1 do not
mean. I never said anything off the
stump that l would not say on the
stump. So what say now you can take
as sincere"
So, you admit. Mr.. President, that
your two months swing around the
circle was a stamping tour pure and
simple. Now, then, in view of your
article. written in 1900 and published in
the Youths Companion last November,
on the duties and responsibilities of the
president of the United States, in which
you said '.there are few harder tasks
than that of filling we'll and ably" this
high office, do you think it entirely pro
per for president to leave his post fol
more than two months at a time te
stump the country for his own nomina
ton and election? Had you presidential
stamping tours in mind when you sale
at that time the president should b'
held to strict accountability alike TO
what he does and for what he leaves un
done?"

AS TO BOOK INVESTMENTS.

COME MONTHS AGO the cashier Of
. a prominent Philadelphia firm,
Howard r. Goodwin. killed himself.
An investigation disclosed the fact that
he was a defaulter to the extent of
many thousands of dollars Further
inquiry showed that Mr.. Goodwin's
most extravagant habit was the pur-
chase of books in costly bindings.
Nothing in this line was too good for
him. The walls Of his library were
lined with volumes that represented an
outlay running literally into the hun
dreds OF thousands of dollars.
It was said that GoOdwin's firm
would lose nothing by his defalcatiOns
because the books constituted tangible
property, because they would be sold
for more than enough to cover his
shortage The sequel has developed a
contrary state Of affairs. An auction
sale Of Goodwin's books was held last
week. To the great surprise of those
who had predicted that the Goodwin
populations would be made good by the
sale. there was no rush to buy.
An account Of the auction says the
books were knocked down at ridiculous
prices. An authors autograph edition
OF Alexander Dumas works IN sixty
volumes that cost Goodwin $4,000. or
500 each. sold for S11 a volume. or $3.50.
This was a big price lin comparison
with the bibliophile edition of Victor
Hugo. one Of $50 copies, which sold for
$3.50 a volume in forty-two volumes.
Goodwin paid $4,000 for the set. An
autograph edition Of Charles Lambs
works sold for 1893. Other prices were
in proportion, or worse.
All Of which goes to show that, from
the investment standpoint, the ex-
penditure Of large sums OF money for
books in show bindings is decidedly
unwise. II the Goodwin library brings
a tenth Of its first cost the sale win
now be considered a good one. Books
are very necessary around any wen
appointed house; that is. books Of the
right sort. and the purchaser must de-
termine for himself which is the
right sort; but books should be bought
to read, not TO look at.
The man is wise who purchase. only
volumes in seryiceable bindings. bind
iugs that win stand wear and tear and
usage. Only the very rich have any
business with editions de luxe. editions
de bibliophile autograph editions ana
the like. And as a usual thing people
who buy such books rarely take enough
interest in them. after they arrive. to
cut the leaves

Educated man can dig a ditch better

graduate who puts his heart into his
work can learn 10 lay brick and lay

laken by the Iron Age when it says:

WORK OF TusKEeEE.

TF THERE WE'RE only a few more
/ negroes in the United states Of the
calibre and influence Of Booker T..
Washington we would mighty soon be
able to stop talking about the race
problem, because there would be no
race problem to talk about. The Her
aid has just received from Mr.. Wash
ington a copy of the twenty-seccnd
annual report Of the Tuskegee Normal
and Industrial institute. Of which he
is principal
This institute, as is well known, was
founded BY Mr. Washington. From the
most humble beginning imaginable 10
has grown until today it has an in
come of $4,000 a year from its endow-
ment fund and enough income from
buttons. entrance fees and incidentals
to make a total annual income of more
than $4,000. All this is the result Of
the earnest conscientious endeavor of
one negro-Booker r. Westinghouse
improve the condition Of his race.
Mr. Washington has always proceed
ed on the theory that the negro must
put out of his mind all thought of so
/ cial equality. He has urged his peo-
/ pie to shun politics and political Offices
as they would shun pestiIences. For
them, as for all others who seem to
/ be kept down by adverse circumstan-
ces. the only salvation lies in work,
: work, work-a constant striving along
/ legitimate lines TO make their lives
more worth living. OF the work that
/ is going on in Tuskegee Mr.. Washing
ton says in his report:
in order to give a concrete example
OF the work our students do in the di-
rection of self help. I would mention
I the fact that they manufactured 1890
/ 900 bricks during the past twelve
months; 1867 garments of various
| kinds have been made in the tailor
shop. and 54f. S37 pieces have been laun-
! dered in the laundry division by the
girls. A very large proportion of our
| students are compelled, by reason of
/ the poverty of their parents or others
/ dependent upon them, to leave school
before completing the full course.
"A rather careful examination shows
/ the full course, together with those
who have remained here long enough
\ to enable them 20 get something OF
the spirit and method of the school
we have sentfntO the world since 1851
/ quite 5000 men and women who are
doing good. strong effective work for
\ their fellows and their country. ]
think I am quite safe in saying that
after a careful inquiry, not more than
10 per cent of those receiving our di-
plomas or certificates can be found in
Ifdleness during any season Of the year
! II a student teaches school portion
OF the year, he either farms or works
at his trade the remainder of the
/ time"
The showing is enough to satisfy the
most skeptical that a great work is
4 going forward in Tuskegee. and tC
/ bring q liberal response to the elO-
quent appeal for further help which
Mr. Washington makes in his report

How Old Is Tilda Amp

Tilda Ann is a freak, according 10

II HE STRAIN OF THE CAMPAIGN
has apparently curdled the dispo-
Hitions Of some Republican brethren.
Two weeks ago when everything Re
publican had a roseate hue. when the
gander was altitudinous ana fat offices
galore were in sight, they were all
smiles. Now things are different This
world is a vale OF tears and all men are
liars. that is. all men outside their ma
chire.
We beg these apostles OF pessimism to
cheer up and smile once more. This
election is a simple business PROPOSE
tion. and whether they leave their
Ecalps on the fence or take the other
fellows. there is no occasion for anger
OF violent language. It is true that the
Democrats have chirked up consider
ably since the nominations were made,
and It IS altogether probable that some
body viii be skinned. as Bre'r Callister
would say. Such thiEgs happen to
somebody every time there is an cleo
tion-thats what lends variety to poll
tics and contributes 90 the gaiety of the
game.
The serious business before the voters,
hoyever. is the choice. Of officers to con-
~ the affairs of the city for the next
two years. 1t should not be a question
OF politics, certainly not in a partisan
sense. and it is no occasion for bitter
ness or III feeling. If. as bis friends
assert. some mysterious person or per
sons have been assailing Mr.. Knoxs
reputation secretly. such tactics should
be stopped and The offenders prosecuted
be they can be located. The Democrats
have ample argument IN behalf Of their
ticket without use Of personalities. and
Ar. Knox would profit more than ne
would lose by that game. RoorbaclSs
used at the last moment have as little
value in a campaign fight as any other
gold brick.
on a clean, square fight, based on a
comparison Of candidates and the rec
pro of the Republican city administra-
ton the Democrats have every. reason
TO expect success. The Herald does
pot believe III anybody identified with
the Democratic organization would be
guilty Of a personal fight against Mr.
Knox on. any other candidate. and il
would not Willingly believe that the Re
2lFDlicans would resort to such methods
The issues and the candidates are
before the people on their merits. and
uothing else should be allowed to dis
tract attention from that fact.
