Why, oh why, didn't Alfred H.
Stone'tell the whole truth, and
nothing but the truth9
All Alfred H. Stone needs is aP A.
coat and a state appropriation to be
a negro university. He says that if
we don't educate the negro the
people OF the north will. Yes, the
people OF the north dearly love the
negro. Hardly a week passes but
that a negro childis is fired from some
northern college or Sundy school,
and more negroes are lynched each
year in the north than in the south:
The negro voters hold the balance
OF power in half of the northern
states, and are, therefore, in posi-
ticn toforce recognition at the hands
OF each succeeding republican adj
mlnlstratlon, and Alfred H. Stone is
doing all in his power to force the
same humilating and awful condi-
tons upon the state of Mississippi.
Unless some radical step is taken,
the white people Of this state will
have qualified a sufficient number
OF negroes as voters by 1907 to
elect a republican governor in Miss
issippi. When able to read andwrite
and interpret the constitution of the
state, negroes can register as electors
northern "barrel' will be imported
to take care of the poll tax feature,
Mississippi will be added to the list
OF republican states, and Alfred H.
Stone will then get his little gun

SENSATIONAL CHARGES
Made by Bondsmen for Handless
and Footless Treasurer

Carthage, Miss.-W.L. Cox and
others, bondsmen of the handless
and footless ex-Treasurer for Leake
county, have entered suit against
the President and members of the
Board of Supervisors for the sum of
SSI2,oo.
The declaration filed in the case
byIHckett & Ellis and r. S. Nc
Laurin, attorney for the plaintiffs,
AYERS that at the July meeting,
1901, the Treasurer submitted
his quarterly report, and when the
Supervisors counted the cash in the
treasury, as required by law, the
treasurer rendered as cash and in
sisted upon having counted a check
for 800 drawn by JIG. Thompson,
merchant of Carthage, upon the
Merchants and Farmers Bank of
Kosciusko. Counting this. check as
cash, the c0 Showed a balance of
$40 due Il. sreasurer, but 'excIu-
ding the Check, he was short
5000.
The Supervisors, SO the declara-
ton AYERS, admonished Morehead,
then treasurer, that the law at that
time in force required that all county
funds should be kept in the treasury,
and that a check from private cit
izen could not be counted as cash.;
yet they nevertheless did SO count
the check and received and allowed
the treasurer's July report.
The declaration further alleges
that within few days thereafter
the check was returned to Thomp-
son without any consideration
therefor and Thompson destroyed
same. Plaintiffs aver that the en-
ployment of such check by the
treasurer was a mere subterfuge;
that the check was not given in
good faith; was never intended to be
presented for payment, but was
designed solely to enable the treas
urer to tide ever the existing defic-
it until he could find means to res
tore the missing money to the
treasury.
The plaintiffs aver that if the
Supervisors had complied with the
law and made public at their July
meeting the treasurer's default of
5000, then they the (bondsmen of
the treasgFer) could have taken
steps to protect themselves from
further loss, through the careless
nees, dishonesty or incapacitv of
the treasurer; but that the action
of the Board in covering up the de-
flcit Of S6a0 at the july term en-
abled, the defaulting treasurer to
continue in Office for three months
longer, and that at the October term
the deficit had grown to be 81 49,
90. The bondsmen of MoreIlead-oy

90 without awaiting SAlt on the
treasurer's bona and now they

To Amend Child Labor Law.

The Quail bill pending in the Penn
sylvania legislature, prohibiting night
work in factories by persons under
eighteen years old, and raising the
age limit of children employed in FAC
tories from thirteen to sixteen years,
both of which have been Endorsed by
John Mitchell, Samuel Gompers and
other prominent labor leaders, may
have to be amended by those having
it in charge to meet the views OF
Gov. Pennypacker. The governor has
advised those who have talked with
him on the question of child labor that
he does not favor the enactment Of
legislation prohibiting night work by
children, and that he is opposed to
raising the factory age above four
teen years. The prospects are that
the bill will be changed so as to
prohibit children under fourteen years
working at night and to increase the
age limit Of persons working in fac
tories to fourteen years, and that, IT
the measure should pass in this form,
the governor would approve 1t.
Closing an article on the iniquity
and danger of child labor, writer in
the New York Press says:
"Now, let no man or woman who
looks into the laughing eyes Of child
rem who are well clothed and fed
and pampered by fortune forget that
the system which consigns other child
rem to toll and privation is desperately
wicked. Let them not lay the fiatter-
ing JUNCTION to their souls that when
they have satisfied the wants and
gratified the desires of their own dar-
lings they have discharged their
whole duty. There is not a principle
of justice in all the universe OF God
that sanctions the inequalities which
cause certain children to abound in
luxury and others to suffer from pow
erty. Keep steadily in mind the fact
that the poor children who are neg
lected and oppressed are not respon-
sible for the breath of life which has
delivered them over to Indebtedness,
nor for any Of the cruel conditions
which blight their youth, and then ask
yourself whether the pitiless ineQuali-
ties which make these shocking con-
trasts are anything but travesty on
humanity, not to speak of Christianity.
1T may not be seemly to question
the designs of Providence in permit
ting an excess of luxury to spoil one
class of children by safety and indul-
gence while another class suffers for
the mere comforts of life, but it is
wholly fair and right to arraign and
impeach the social system which toll
crates such revolving SIM"

Auajnst Hasty Strikes.

The Trade Union Label League,
composed of delegates from all the
unions having labels, adopted the fol-
lowing resolution, which is of con-
siderable moment owing to the action
Of the Chicago Federation of Labor,
which refused to put barrier on new
unions calling strikes. The resolution
follows:
Resolved, That no application for
approval of any contemplated strike
shall be given unless the officers Of
this league have first investigated the
cases, conditions and necessities Of
such action and its bearing on kin
bred unions, and we advise that be-
fore unions go on strike the union
shall be prepared to assist financially
such Of it's members as may need it;
and we further advise that in all de-
mands the question Of shorter hours
shall be given the preference. Chi

Verdict AGAINST a Union.

The Taft Vale decision, which
aroused such a storm Of protest from
the British trade unions, has been es.
tablished in America. The F. R.
Patch Manufacturing Company Of Rut.
land, VT, has been awarded $4,000
damages by a jury against Protection
lodge No. 215, International Associai
ton of Machinists, for damages als'
legged to have been suffered by the
company because of a strike Of ma
chinists. The company sued the I'M
ion for $4,000, and after celebrating
twenty-four hours the jury returned
verdict for $4,000. Among the items
of expense claimed by the company
was the cost of maintaining board
ing-house for the non-union men after
they had been refused board at pri-
vate houses.

Statistics of ciaarmakers.

In the present issue of the Cigar
makers official journal, President Geo.
w. Perkins issues his annual report,
showing the income and expenditures
for the past year. The total income
for the year 1902 was $751; 1880, and
the expenditures $741, 246.94. The bal
ance in the treasury Jan. 1, 1908, was
1851, S11.29. In comparing the amount
expended for the different benefits, as
compared with past years, Mr.. Per-
kins says in part:
with his issue we print the annual
financial report for the calendar year
Of 1902. It will be seen by reference
to the recapitulation that the funds
have increased for the year $40,6S6.96.

nt was $4,000. while the death benefit

shows about $4,000 less than last
year. This is the most surprising ex-
hibit in the whole report. Compared
with ten years ago the amount for
death benefit shows an increase Of
$4,000, and an increase Of $23,500 as
compared with five years ago. The
out-ofwork benefit shows a decrease,
and, figured per capita, Is the lowest
amount ever expended for this splen-
did benefit. The amount Of strike
benefit, $S5,274.14, was large COM
pared with former years, excepting
the last two years. The great bulk Of
this amount went to Montreal and
New Orleans. The former got 1000
and the latter $4,000. The balance
was expended in small sums by all
other unions which had strikes"

Who Smiles In the Rain.

The coward may smile
When there's sun all the while
It's drawer to smile in the rain.
The weakest may Joy
When there's naught to annoy
He's stronger who smiles through his
pain
And then when there's sun, when there's
blrd-song and breeze,
When Gloom's put to rout and Discour-
i, agement fees,
What need has the world
or the mouth corners curled
In the cheeriest smiles, when the fields
and trees
Are smiling so broadly that nobody sees
The wee bit of brightness you're giving
the while
But days when it's rainy there's need for
your smile.
The weakling may smile
When there's brightness the while
It's better to smile when there's ram
The gloomster may Joy
When there's naught to annoy
He's brave who can laugh through ms
When all the wide world is so full OF
song
That birds sing and brooklets go war;
bling along,
With hearts light as chaff
All the earth seems to laugh
The sunny-day courage says not you are
strong
Though hearty good cheer one could
never call wrong
But. oh. when the day is all haggard and
gray
And Nature "weeps gloomily, sobbing
away
Then laugh in the hope Of the sweet
after-while,
On days when it's rainy there's need for
your smile.

Reward of the Toiler.

What l object to Is this economic
chance-world in which we live and
which we men seem to have created.
1t ought to be law as inflexible in hui
man affairs as the order of day and
night in the physical world, that If
man will work he shall both rest and
eat, and shall not be harassed by any
question of how his repose and his
provision shall come. Nothing less
ideal than this satisfies the reason.
But in our state of things no one is
secure of this. No one is sure of find. J
ing work; no one Is sure of not losing
it. l may have my work taken away
from me at any moment by the ca
price, the mood, the indigestion of a
man who has not the qualification for
knowing whether l do it well or i'll.
At any time Of life-at every time OF
life-a man ought to feel that II he
will keep on doing his duty he shall
not suffer in himself nor in those who
are dear to him, except through natur-
al causes. But, as things are now, no
man can feel this. And so we go on
