4 SQUARE DEAL FOR TIL
NEGRO. -

-
New York Evening Post: "A
square deal'' for the negro was the
burden of President Roosevelt
speech at the tomb of Abraham
Lincoln. Inspiration might we'll
have come to him from that mighty
shade. And thickening events are
certainly hurrying on the issue.
The new slave driving in Alabama
has priced the conscience of the
nation. It is perceived that his
revived oppression of the nergo has
gone hand in hand with the attempt
to deprive him of that sure defense
of the freeman in a democracy-the
ballot. Once make men politically
voiceless and unrepresented and
they are easy game for the oppressor.
Highly significant, in this connec-
ton, is that plank of the Ohio plat
from which declares for equity
everywhere in the exercise of the
elective franchise" with the en-
forcement of the constitutional
penalties upon those states which
violate it. This is one form of the
square deal" for the negro to
which it ID the nations immediate
business to attend. The Ohio
utterance mark the revival of human
rights, with the equality of all men
before the law, as a political issue of
the first magnitude. It may easily
swallow all other issues. Education
and the suffrage lie at the founda-
ton of our institutions, and we
must work for both. The doctrine
Of giving each child it's school was
indissolubly linked by the fathers
of this republic with that other
doctrine-''each honest man shall
have his vote"

ROCK ISLAND OFFICIALS HERE
They Are Ready to Build 4 Nice
Depot.

lHey Arc NedOy " Ouho AN~e
J Depot.
81. S. Cable General Supt. and W.
J. Lawrence, Division Supt. of the
Rock Island road were in town
Wednesday evening and Thursday
morning. In the early morning
they met with Mayor Trip and
members of the council and went
over the recent washout of their
road bed at the lake site. The
officials indicate that their company
desire to do the fair thing as to
making permanent repairs of the
lake bank and pay for what labor
has been expended danming the
lake where the water broke through
the banks. Mayor Trip thought
that two hundred dollars would
cover the expense incurred by the
village, and to this Mr.. Cable replied
he did not think unreasonable. They
will make further repairs Of the
bank to make it more substantial
and better than it was before. AS
to putting the bank in a condition
at some point to take care of the
water in case of an overflow again,
a plan was suggested that the COM
pany purchase the right of way on
the west side of their track between
the two lakes of G. W. Patterson,
dig a ditch, and put in a concrete
water way with weeping bot
TONI thus permitting the west lake,
when at a certain height, to run
over this masonry work, to the east
lake. Mr.. Gable said this plan would
require some investigation as to
rights and privileges of all parties
concerned and interested. It is also
proposed that the drain ditch of the
east lake be enlarged to prevent a
reOccurrence OF the flooding of
tracks through there.
In reference to a new depot tho
officers said, the company was
ready and desired, to build a new
depot as soon as the people of Worth
ington could agree on site, and they
would erect one that would be
credit to their road and the town.
They were only wiling for the peo-
pie to get together on the location.
There is room for passenger sta
ton at the foot of 5th Avenue with |
out blocking the street, or there
would be room between second and
third avenue if they would purchase
the private property and extend the
road so that it would connect with
second avenue at right angles, or,
hey could fill in the low ground
between second avenue and the
omaha road, that would.give them

plenty Of room. Our people ought
to take this subject up and arrive at
some understanding 50 that a depot
could be erected. The company
has shown displ sitlon to do their
part and it is now entirely up to the
citizen 3 whether the depot will {be
built, or not. It appears to the
writer, that the council might call 3
mass meeting for some evening
and vote on locations that the
council considered best and avail
able. This would give every one
interested an opportunity Of ex-
pressing themselves and bring the
matter to focus. The council would
then have the sentiment of the peo-
pie and could inform the railroad
company of the selection, this would
then leave the matter in the hands
Of the company entirely,as it is now
the delay is caused by the citizens.
We cant expect to get others to
move if we don't move ourselves.
Mr.. Gable expressed his surprise at
how little our citizens made of the
lake, also that they ought to take
an interest in its condition especially
being kept as high as possible. He
said it would be an ideal place for
a summer resort and thought it'll
strange that one was not located
here. This is only one of the many
similar expressions heard made by
the peoble, who express their sur
prise as to how unappreciative our
people appear to be of the beautiful
lake. There may have been times
when it appeared that our citizens
were very little interested in the
lake, but had any of them seen the
faithful volunteer service engaged |
in stopping the flow Of water when
the prospects were favorable to its
all running out, the appreciation Of
our citizens would not be questioned.

1t comes in very bad grace for n city
official to say that if the people put in
man for city clerk that he does not
want lie will vote to cut the salary of
that office down. We suppose that means
that if certain individual whom he is
boosting and who, by the way, was
against this same official last year
and did everything he could to defeat
the party which had honored him with
office, this same official will vote
to increase the salary of the city clerk.
That is the most generous thing we ever
heard of. But why should we do it2
What is behind it? There must be u
"nigger in the wood pile" Suppose the
yott-.-=-.snd respectable people turn TINT
pile over and see Just what is in II.
Again, why should any city official, higl,
or low, make any such threats to intiln
idate any man who may seek officeT The
people will say who the next city clerk
shall be and it will not be left to any Que
official, or all of them III bunch for
that matter. There are plenty of men
who can fill it with ability and they are
as much entitled to it us some one who
wants to have a monopoly on it. Be-
sides, there is no good reason why this
Office should be given to a person who
has never turned his hand over to pro-
mote the interests of the place and who
has never shown any particular patriot
ism or interest in the city. but, to the
contrary, has manifested the most su.
preine selfislincss. There are members
of old established families who have
done much to build the place and whose
interests are really and largely idcn-
titled with Clarksburg, who would grace
the city clerks desk and MI it with abil-
ity. Why put in carpet Dagger when
we have such men? The city should
also look after chastity in the selection
of its officers. u il not metc that city
Offices should be scs,ndalzed. 1t ought
to be our pride ever TO point to our OF
ficers as above reproach and free from
anything of the character of scandal.
Let US not bring the fair name of the
city into disrepute, but let us elect good
square, honest, honorable, mtarnished.
unselfish and patriotic men.

SoUSA'S CLEVER A
The Great "March King" DOdged the
Society Bugbear.

Mainly About People tells Of the
way Sousa %cleverly got the better Of
the hostess who was trying to work"
him: "Sousa makes not only music
wherever he goes, but friends also,
and many of these have a way Of in
viting him to their houses when he
wants to rest in his hotel. The
March King though by no means
ancient, was, nevertheless, not born
yesterday, and he is quite able to
distinguish among his would-be
hosts and hostesses those who want
him for the pleasure of his company
and those who desire his presence as
a celebrity, In one of the towns he
lately met a lady with a large reputa-
ton for worrying celebrities of all
kinds to attend her dinners and at
homes She sent him a pressing in
vitation to sup at her house after the
performance, but it got to Sousa's
ears that she had issued invitations to
her neighbors TO meet Mr.. John
Philip Sousa'-an exhibition of pre-
viousness' not to be tolerated even by
an American-and he declined po-
litely and with thanks. Having
counted on Sousa's acceptance and
held his name out to her friends as
bait, the lady was much disturbed on
receiving his note, and wrote back to
him with desperate solicitude, 4 am
terribly sorry to have your card say
ing you cannot come, but | still hope
for the pleasure of your company
To this the poor lady received the
following terrifying answer: Dear
Madam have given your kiud
message to my company, but | regret
to say that only Is of them will be
able to accept your invitation, the
rest of them having appointments to
keep elsewhere. Yours truly, John
Philip Sousa.'"

VALUE OF THE SIEsTA.
What Happens When One Takes a
Nap in the Afternoon.

The need'for the light slumber
robe or c%overlet thrown over a per-
son when lying down during the
day, even in a warm room, is ex-
planned, says the New York Sun, by
the reduced circulation of the blood
when the body is in a recumbent posi-
ture. y
When one lies down the heart espe-
eially is eased temporarily of its reg
ular work. The body depends for
warmth on the vigor of the %circula-
ton, and as the blood flows so much
more slowly through the veins when
one is lying down, the missing
warmth must be made up by extra
covering.
This temporary respite Of the
hearts action also accounts for the
wholesomeness of the siesta, OF for
the benefit derived from the half
hours lying down without sleep,
which so many nervous or high
strung people find recuperative.

WHY THE BILL WAS KILLED.
The Speech That Buried a Piece Of
Progressive Legislation.

progressive Legislation.
"When l was in the legislature"
said a gentleman from Mississippi to
a New Orleans Tmes-D Democrat re-
porter, "we sometimes conducted
progressive legislation under difficult
ties, and often a really meritoriOus
measure died a-borning on account Of
the cant and sophistry Of some gen
tleman from the sticks When II
vas in the lower branch, some years
ago, l introduced a bill exemptinga all
money from taxation which was
loaned at a rate of interest less than
six per cent. The house vas strictly
a body Of farmers at that time and
many of them were paying as muehas
IL per cent. for money with which to
make their crop. So it would seem
to an outsider that my bill would
have a fair chance to pass, particu-
larly as it was favorably reported by
the committee to which it had been
referred. But an old farmer from
back in the woods killed it dead as
door nail. In a speech on the sub
ject he said: What's the use to pass
any fool bill like that? When | wuz
making my canvas l had to borrow
$150-and / had to put up two good
mules and a wagon to get it, besides
l had to pay II per cent. interest.
Now, don't you know, Mr.. Speaker,
nobody amt goin' to lend no money
at six per cent. when they can get IL
per cent? l move that We lay thatfool
bill on the table and get to work on
something that will do the people
some good And that is exactly
what they did. Some time after this
l twitted the old fellow about his OPP
position to my bill. why, durn ct,
f%eller,' he said, in a bantering, laugh
ing way, If that bill had passed /
know six men in my county who'd
borrowed money jest to run against
me. Don't believe in e~ncouragin'
young fellers in borrowin' money an
gettin' mixed up in politics. All of
