Cancer Cnred.


Mr.. W. w. Pickett, Smithfeld,
Ill, writes, Sept, 10th, 1901: 81
had been suffering several years
with a cancer on my face, which
gave me great annoyance and I'M
bearable itching. I was using
Billiards. Snow Liniment for a
sore leg, and through an accident,
l rubbed some OF the linimcnt on
the cancer, and as It gave me
almost instant relief, ! decided to
continue to use the liniment on the
cancer. In a short time the cancer
came out, my face healed up and
there Is not the slightest scar left.

It Is said that In the Kansas
Legislature there are so many
employees that they fall over each
other in the pretended perform
ancc Of their duties. That is not
the case In Missouri because they
remain scattered over the state and
have their pay sent them by mail.
They are employed with the under
standing that they stay at home.
For the looks of the thing, It would
not do for the vast number to con-
gregate at the capital.

Scandal May Break Out.

jefferson City Feb. i3--(Special.)
There are some signs to-day Of
the clerical scandal breaking out.
The girl who Is for 81 a day doing
work for which a st. Louis medical
student is getting $3.50 a day, has
been told that she must appeal to
the committee on clerical force or
see even her 81 a day taken away
from her by reason Of the medical
student being discharged. 1t is
said that, although the names Of
A. j. Sheridan and j. w. Gardner,
both Of st. Louis, are on the pay
roll, and the men have together
drawn $40, neither OF them has
done one minutes work nor Is
either Of them In Jefferson City,
except on pay days. There is q
rumor afloat that one OF the clerks
appointed by a st. Louis member
Is under sentence Of two years in
the penitcntiary, but this is not
confirmed. Still the man who
gave the tip to Chairman Gipson,
OF the clerical force, insists he can
identify the man II the committee
requires him to.
II the matter gets before the
house, the chief cngrossing clerk
will either have to put his head
under the knife or cmbarrcss some
OF the members he has been
screening. Golden Of Nodaway,
has spent a week looking for ''straw
men," having understood that
some members are drawing pay
for clerks who do not exist. One
member OF the clerical force said
this morning, speaking Of Sheridan
and Gardner; "Thcsc men are
not here; they never have been"
When reminded that two days
ago this same committeeman had
protested that Sheridan an d
Gardner were ut work, he replied
81 was mistaken. Musgrovc
told mo they were, and he told us
the men had been assigned.
When we pinned him down and
asked where they were working,
| he admitted than xvar, nnt h.s.

bists come to that conclusion the bet
ter it will be for all. Abraham Lin
coin said this country could not exist
half, slave and half free, and SO he
maia it all free. Despite the asser-
tions of such men as Senator McEn-
ely of Louisiana, which are false in
so many particulars, the Afro-Ameri-s
can has made wonderful progress
:ince Lincoln's proclamation. And,
as it is an axiom that revolutions new
er go backward, this progress must
continue onward and upward. just
as the pro-slavery fanatics brought to
the front the great friend of freedom
in 1868 just so are these color fanatics
bringing forward a great friend Of
Justice and right in 1908. Nor is
President Roosevelt alone any more
than was Lincoln, for while our hearts
are made to ache as we read some OF
the unchristian, inhuman expressions
of these color fanatics, we are treated
with the Balm of Gilead from the
hands of some good Samaratans which
fills us with hope. God is not dead,
and President Roosevelt still lives.
Long live President Roosevelt.

FALL MEN UP"

We cannot find words to express
our qualification at the noble stand
President Roosevelt continues to
maintain in regard to the Afro-Ameri-
can as evidenced in his letter to the
Atlanta Constitution, published in the
daily papers throughout this country
last Monday And it surely must be
a potent factor in silencing the un-
called for outbreak of sentiments
against the Afro-American. Surely
every right-thinking man must sub
scribe to President Roosevelt's dec-ar-
alton: 1T is safer for everybody if
we act on the motto, All men. up
rather than on the motto, Some men
down." We never could understand
why there was such objection to the
Afro-Americans making the best sort
Of people possible of themselves. 1t
certainly does not tend to make peo-
pie contented, happy, progressive, law
abiding to throw every obstacle posi-
bic in their pathway. They say that
when tiger has tasted of human
blood he forever afterward has an
unsuitable craving for it, and, so it
is with freedom; when once q people
have tasted Of it, they will be salts
fed with nothing else. And as free
dom means more than just to be al
lowed to live without hope, ambition,
opportunity; and, as the Afro-Ameri-
can has tasted of freedom he will not
be satisfied with anything else. The
100000 of Afro-Americans in this
country are here to stay, they cannot
be deported, they cannot be annihi- |
lated, they cannot be made slaves or
serfs, and the sooner the color.pho-

"NEGRO ADVANCEMENT"

Booker Westinghouse remarks a Chi
cago editor, the race problem would
vanish.
This is doubtful. The chief griev-
ance against the colored man seems
to be his disposition to rise to level
with the white man. We are told by
DR.. Tom Dixon, for example, that as
is all right, but that education spoils
him-*makes him monstrosity.'
IF this is comprehensive at all, it
means that so long as the colored
man is content to be little more than
a mere animal, and to do the whites
dirty work, he is acceptable; but that
as a man, with soul and aspiration
and advancement, he is intolerable.' y
According to this view, Booker
Washington is 'monstrosity,s and
just the sort of man who is shaking
the tranquility of the Negotiating
element of the whites. But this view
cannot be acceptable to the common
sense of humanity"
eff all the colored brethren were
Booker Washingtons, the thirteenth
amendment would be actually in force.
Then the grievance of those who
looked upon the Negro as necessari'
ly inferior race would be immeasura-
bly, increased rather than diminished -
1T would be more true to say that
if all whites had the broad mind and
high spirit of Booker Washington
there would be no race question to
settle. There would be hearty coop
