WHAT THE NEGRO WANTS.
What the Teaching and Practice of
Republicans Lead To.

What the negro wants is social equality and
all which that involves. His quarrel is with
Providence for making him black. He wants
to change the color of his skin, and there is
but one way to do it, and that way spells race
and national ruin, for color is more than skin
Deep 1t tells the whole story of race CLASH.

and never violated in human history without
disastrous results. Whom God hath put asun.
der let no man join together.
Ifanyone doubts that this is the ultimate aim
of the negro-as it must be the logical result
of the Republican effort to put and keep him
on an equality with the white man-let him
read the following from the New York Age,
all organ of the black man, edited by Thomas
Fortune, the negro whom President Roose-
welt sent few months ago on special mission
to the Philippines. Fortune says in the Age
of October 8, 1908.
"Here is our attitude on race and State
questions: We believe in manhood suffrage,
pure and simple, without restrictions of what
ever sort, with the imperative obligation upon
the Government to educate all the children
in mixed common schools, supported by public
taxation (2) we believe in higher education,
industrial education and professional educa-
ton, and in the right of every parent to select
for his child the sort of education he desires
it to have (3) aoe beliere in interma,riage OF
of the races, of all races, and in the enact
ment of marriage and divorce law by the
Federal Congress which shall supersede all
State laws on that question, the marriage OBJ
legation being primarily the basis of right
living and, therefore, of national citizenship
life (4) we believe in equality of civil rights
and the enactment ola Federal law prohibiting
the States from making and enforcing discrimi-
natory enactments on account of race, color
and condition"
White men of Maryland, the issue is before
you. The Republican candidates are the
Negroes candidates, because through them
only can he hope to break through the bar
riers against social equality erected by nature
and the wise laws of nature and the wise laws
of experience. In voting for the Republican
candidates you will be voting in effect for
negro equality and against your own race and
your own wives and daughters. This appeal
should 60 home to every white man, prospect,

1t is question of race preservation.

FAILURE OF A BANKING HOUSE.
Jones & Company, of Mount Airy, Have
Made An Assignment to the Presi-
dent of the Citizens National
Bank of Frederick.
THE BANK FAILED TO OPEN ITS DOORS
YESTERDAY.

The banking house of Jones & Company. of
Mt. Airy, Md, failed to open its doors for
business yesterday friday morning.
The firm, and Mr.. Albert Jones individu-
ally, have made an asst gnment to Mr.. Joseph
ID. Baker, of Frederick, as trustee.
MIR. Baker, who is named as trustee for the
estate, says that Mr.. Jones estimates the as
sets, including individual and firm, at about
$4,000.
A list of liabilities has not been prepared
as yet.
The trustee is now in charge of the bank
and making up statement of the assets and
liabilities and cannot give any definite infor-
nation before this is completed.
The banking house of Jones & Co. has stood
high in the estimation of the people and Mr..
Albert Jones is looked upon as one of the
most honorable citizens of Carroll county,
His financial trouble. the trustee states. was
due to two reasons: First, he used large
amount of the deposits to invest in real estate,
which is considered one of the most valuable
pieces of property owned by anyone in the
State of Maryland. This tract of land is To-
Gated in Carroll and Frederick counties and
consists of about 1000 acres, divided into
eight farms.
Second, the firm made investments in
stocks which have been greatly impaired in
board r. r. stock and various trust COM
panies.
The trustee state that Mr. Jones does not
owe dollar to any banking institution in
Frederick City, except the Citizens National
Bank, of which Mr.. Baker, the trustee, is
president.
Mr.. Baker says that the Citizens National
Bank holds note of Jones & Co. for $4,015,
which is the only loan that the said bank has
with them, except re- discounted paper.
The re-discounted paper amounts to $21,-
OS2.64.
1t is made up of 189 promissory notes of
other individuals, which were payable TO
Jones & Co. and were discounted by the Citi-
liens National Bank for their accommoda-
uon.
The makers of the notes owe the money
due on them to the Citizens National Bank.
and do not owe it to Jones & Co.
The notes are considered good line of
paper.
At the time of the assignment they had
deposit with the Citizens National Bank 3d.
700.07, and it is apparent from these figures
that the Citizens National Bank has but
small interest in the failure of Jones & Co.
Beyond what has just been said the Citi-
zens' National Bank has no interest in Jones
x Co.

sparkling and witty satire, Saratoga will
appear. The announcement that this delight
full play is to he produced will be hailed with
delight by all lovers of wholesale comedy.
The play was a success from Its initial pro-

The play of Saratoga is noted for its elab-
crate scenery, magnificent gowns, and is IN
disputably the finest attraction in Baltimore

the part of Bob Sackett. the young man with

expense of the production there will be no in
crease in prices.
Saratoga is life from start to finish, clever
satire on society, catering to the most refined
and critical audiences but pleasing all. The
first act is in New York city on an Art recep..
ton night, showing a beautiful gallery OF
paintings made by the celebrated artist, Ar
thur Voegtlin; in this scene beautiful women
in gorgeous Partisan gowns are seen to excel
lent advantage, accon pdhieu NY haiuoo'ie
men. With action kaleidoscope, this act has
as much fun in it as most of the comedies be-
fore the public. Then come the second,
third and fourth acts, laid at Saratoga Springs,
showing all the grandeur and beauty of this
famous resort, and the comedy increases so
rapidly that the audience is kept in continu.
Gus roar until the final curtain.
Walter Hodges is celebrated for his famous
roles in "Sapho'' and other successes. 9th

Mr.. Williams and the Governorship.
From the Cecil Democrat.

From the Cecil Democrat.
When Mr.. Stevenson Archer Williams
was first considered as the nominee of his
party for Governor, he announced that he
would accept the nomination provided it
came to him without dissent There fol-
lowed that declaration one of the bitterest
factional ighths ever known in the history
of the Republican party in this State,
and had the anti Organization won Lloyd
Lowndes and not Mr.. Williams would have
been the nominee That is fact known
to everybody in the State, yet Mr.. Will
liams took the nomination although he
knew that he was only the choice of the
majority-not the whole of his party.
Are all of his declarations to be considered
as having no more value than that in which
he insisted that his nomination must come
to him without dissent?
