HAS CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR.


The Progressive American, a newspa-
per published in New York city in the
interests of the negro race, has re-
Gently "raised the name" of T. Thomas
Fortune of the New York Age for
governor of the Philippine Islands. Mr.
Fortune has recently returned from
Manila, where he made observations
respecting he relation of the Ameri-
can race p oAlem to the conditions
there. The Progressive American says:
1T stands III a position to make the
Philippines to the United States what
canada is to Great Britain, which must
re the ultimate result of our retention
# these islands.
"This can only be done (mark well
The prediction) by adding and encour-
al ing a people whose loyalty and de-
votion to American institutions and,
above all, to the stars and stripes
stands unquestioned by the civilized
world, to migrate to the Philippines.
To unite these two similar, manly and
intrepid races under our flag and Con-
stitution in the Philippines, where they
will become a greater source, power
and strength to themselves and to the
home government to which the new
Canada will owe it's allegiance. If the
president would open the real door
of hope to the true and law-abiding
negro he will appoint Thomas For
tune governor of the Philippines, and
Congress should create a substantial
reason and inducement to the progress
sive and aggressive negroes to migrate
thither by opening the country and set
Ting upon them the crown lands which
came to our government through a $40
000,0 900 purchase and the sacrifice of
hundreds of lives of black and white
American soldiers, and we have already
referred to the fact that the white
American can never permanently re-
side il the Philippines. ~. But tn
American negro should not, and he
will not, go to the Philippines to be
dominated by white politicians and
office-seekers, many Of whom have been
deserted by their constituents at home.
President Roosevelt holds in his
land the key to greatly relieve the
race problem, and we believe he will
10 it."

INDIANA'S TROUBLES.

Ine various race riots going on il.
several Indiana towns at the same timr
are doubtless source of keen grief t.
Congressman Crumpacker, of that
state, who is ever ready to advocat~
the reduction of the Souths represen.
,ation in congress because some OF the
iliterate negroes in this section, who
wouldn't have the slightest idea Oh
what they were voting for have been
disfranchised Mr.. Crumpacke has
urged that congressional delegation
be selected to come South and investi-
gate the treatment of the negro b.
the whites.
Representative Thompson some time
ago taken some congressman and Other
publlc men south to make observations.
They saw for themselves that the ne

ably surprised. They had read in an
inflammatory and highly prejudiced
northern press all sorts of cock-and-
pull stories about the treatment of tho
aegro in the south, and tl&ags were
pictured in a lurid way by space writers
at so much per column. But The negro
in the south was found to be smiling

and happy while awaiting the water

nor disorder nor even harsh race feel
ing. And so the visitor reported.
But ever since that time the whites

towns in Indiana the race riots are on
in earnest, and the negro is having
4 very rough time of it. He is realiz

Of friendship for him by the people OF
that section is farce pure and simple,
and that his real friends are the south

In view of recent events in Indiana,

states it does seem that the narrow

Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes i'm
possible. T
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
TO digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you cant
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption SO
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.

people.
