bright side is the one most apparent.

on stock and great losses are report

weather. Not much ranch work done
yet. The last few days have been
warm and good growing weather. Hay

SPARKS FROM THE ANVIL.

Mob violence is the parent of an
archy.
The women of our race have it's fu-
ture in their keeping.
Color prejudice is not important if
it does not hinder justice.
The confidence of people is always
given to the unselffsh leader.
To him who sits down and waits,
nothing comes but old age or death.
The tongue of the black slanderer is
a blood relation of the white lyncher-
Negroes should remember that out
of suffering have emerged the strength
of souls.
Like the poor white trash of the
South, our woes are of condition and
not of race.
The power of an honest dollar is
more effective than the eloquence of
fifty race agitators.
Peonage of the body will be best re
moved by the education of the Negroes
head and hand.
Race papers are no longer expert
mentS. They haev demonstrated that
they are necessities.
Judge Lynch is the highest legal Off
GER in too many States. He is impair
tial only that he knows no section.
Is Kentucky our "enemys country?"
All the National Negro Conferences
have invaded her territory this year.

THE FOOD PROBLEM

Although the study of domestic econ
Omy- is more diligently pursued by
housekeepers than ever before. there is
still a great majority who have not
rightly considered the food problem or
taken the means to solve ii. Many
who are adepts in the culinary art do
not understand the right proportions
Of the various kinds of food necessary
o the well-being of the human family
Then, on the other hand, many solve
he problem to their own satisfaction
and their fads and fancies in regard to
food are often the cause of the stomach
trouble which they aim to prevent. In
an article in the August DelineatOr Dr.
Grace Peckham Murray discusses the
food problem, and her observations
should bring light to many who do not
rightly understand the subject.

WHY WE ARE IGNORED.

We fail to profit from adversity.
We are deficient in family home life
Because we neglect our opportunities.
We live too far ahead of our reSour-
ceS-
The Negro lacks confidence in him
self
Because we initiate rather than orig
mate.
Our financial honor as a race is be-
low par.
Our idlers and lOafers are too much
in evidence.
The average Negro learns little and
f0rgets nothing.
We do not place the proper estimate
upon our women.
Education does not seem to increase
our race cohesion.
We condemn lynchings but not the
antecedent crimes
Our best men and women are not
known to the whites.
We are spies on our own race for the
white mans purposes.
We do not consider what we are en-
titled TO and demand it.
There are too many seventy dollar
suits on five dollar men.
We have too many parlor organs and
TOO few instructive books.
We have not learned that self-deniaI
like mercy, is twice blessed.
We yield control of our sons and
daughters at too early an age.
The so-called big Negro is not much
IN supporting race enterprises.
We patrOniZe our enemies rather
than those who seek our trade.
Waywardness and wilfulness in our
youths are not effectually rebuked.
We cannot enforce discipline at
home on account of our own conduct
When one man seeks a position all
his fellows rush in for the same place
We wait until the high tide is past
before we realize its having been pres
ent.
We are too bent on destroying rath-
er than building up the fortunes of the
race.
We are too easy victims of insurance
grafterS and smooth inStallment solic-
itOrs.
We are blind to the virtues of the
race while we loudly condemn their
vices.
We have too much police court bus
mess and not enough bank transac-
tiOns.
We too frequently use the livery of
heaven to advance the purposes of the
devil.
Every half-educated upstart feels he
has a mission to preach or edit a news
paper.
Our new patent feathers and silk
hats are too often projected before our
creditors eyes.
We are always ready to fight one
another, but We are all afraid of the
common enemy.
We claim we have too many church
es, newspapers and leaders, and yet we
give none the proper support.
Many superior cotton pickers and
wood choppers are f1attered into taking
up the legal or medical profession.

Tax Levy and Appropriations.

The city and county taxes paid by
the taxpayers ofevery county amount
to more than five times as much as
the state tax, yet many voters seem
to think the election of commits
sioners, assessors and members OF the
county and township councils are Of no
particular Importance.
The county council at its session in
September, made additional appro-
priations amounting to s2,S94.5O,
after which they made a levy for
county purposes OF I'll cents on each
800 valuation and so cents on each
taxable poll: 20 cents of which is
known as the county fund" and 1t
cents is known as the ''county bridge
fund.-" AS whole, the county levy
is LIP cent higher than that of last
year, and the valuation of taxable
property having been greatly increas-
ed taxes will seem considerably higher
than last year.

Mr.. Moody as a Waiter.

A good story is told on Secretary
Moody while visiting San Juan in
Porto Rico. While the Dolphin was
in the harbor of San Juan, she was
visited daily by the natives. One of
them, feeling thirsty, turned to a man
in white and wearing sort Of naval
cap, and said: "I'll have drink Of
water" The man hurried away
without a word, and soon returned
with the water, which the native
drank. The man In white then took
the glass back to the cabin. While he
was gone an American who had seen
the whold procedure, said to the ma
tive: "You ought to have tipped
that fellow" The native fumbIed In
his pocket for coin, but mildly pro-
tested: "Why should II" and the
American said: "Because that was
Mr.. Moody, the secretary Of the ma
w." 1t was true, and when the Sec
rotary emerged from the cabin the
natives profuse apologies were made
as only one of the Latin race can make
them, while the secretary, laughing
tried to put the Porto Rican at his
ease.

The convention held in Terre Haute
for the purpose of securing govern
ment aid in the improvement Of the
Wabash river, closed in a row. La
fayette and Vincennes were contest
ants for the next meeting and the old
city won out. In the debate the ad-
vocates II Vincennes said that the
navigation up as far as Lafayette was
ridiculous, and in turn the Lafayette
delegation, headed by j. Frank Han
ley, scorched Vincennes hard, but it
won the next convention, and Lafay-
yette, which has been the most enthu-
siastic promoter OF the Wabash Val
ley Improvement association, is not
in good humor.

The EquinoctIal Storm.

The widespread meteorological dis
turbance popularity called the equi-
poctial storm which usually appears in
September Is a week or more ahead OF
time this year. It ragged last week
with snow and torrential rains in the
far northwest, seriously interfering
with the belated harvest and causing
considerable damage to grain that had
been cut but remaining still in the
fields.
The entire country west Of the Mis-
sisippi and north Of the Missouri ap-
pears to have been deluged. OF course
all early reports OF damage by storms
and other catastropbes are exaggerat-
ed and there is reason to hope that
the losses In the grain belts will be
less than was at first rumored.
Alleged scientists tell US that the
equinoctial storm is myth-that
there is no more reason why a storm
should be caused by the sun crossing
the equator than by the solar cross
ing of any geographical line. Yet the
storm annually comes "about this
time" and the popular intelligence
will always believe that its appear.

natural laws.

Hope for the indiana.

Secretary Hitchcock has been exceed
ingly fortunate In securing the services
OF Charles j. Bonaparte. of Baltimore,
TO investigate the scandals in Indian
Territory.
Mr.. Bonaparte's ability and person
al character are the assurances that
his work Will be thoroughly and well
done, without fear or favor.
1t needs man of brains and nerve
and honesty to unravel the twisted
skein of deceit that has been wound
around the Indian wards of the coun-
try. The Indlan has been so long re-
garded as legitimate prey for any
white adventurer, whether holding a
government office or not, that practi-
cally the whole white community in
Indian Territory will be banded TO-
gether to draw the investigator of on
false trails. Just this condition of
pu0llc opinion makes Il all the more
essential, however. that the house
cleaning now under way be thorough
and complete.
One advantage Mr.. Bonaparte will
have in his task is that he has never
formed close ties with any faction Of
professional politicians. He was at
one time possibility as United States
senator from Maryland, and he has
served Baltimore once or twice in mi
nor capacities, where for the time
being just such qualities as his were
needed, but he has never otherwise
manifested desire for Office. Indeed,
as one of the foremost advocates of
the merit system in the national civil
service, he has been consistent fight

tion. Record Herald.

THE K. OF P. CARNIVAL.
Fair Weather Brings In Good Crowd to
See the Various Attractions.

Thursday saw the first real crowd
in attendance at the attractions of the
Robinson Carnival Company. The
rainy weather of the first three days
was replaced bv clear skies and bright,
though cool breezes, but was not un-
comfortable in the crowded streets.
The various attractions had crowd
ed audiences and gave uniform salts
faction. The serpentine and other
dances of Aimee are marvels of execu-
tion and with the accompaniment of
electrical effects are beautiful and en-
trancing. The Trip to the Moon, the
London Ghost Show, the Trilby and
Statue shows are all meritOriouS. The
Dutch comedian at the Ghost Show is
we'll worth the price of admission.
While the moving pictures of the Trip
t. the Moon are the finest seen here,
the film being about 1000 feet long.
The statue that turns to life at the
Trilby show is one of the finest pieces
of stage illusions ever seen, and no
one should INSIST.
Mile Christine, the Carolina twin,
continues to draw large crowds, while
the Laughing Gallery, the Crystal
Maze, the Glass Blowers, and others,
are doing good business.
The high dive, as performed by Mr.
Nick Carter, is one of the most thrill
ling feats ever seen in the city. This
ladder is in six lengths, Of Is feet
each, which, including the laps,
reaches a height Of about IS feet.
The tank into which he dives is * ID
feet, and four feet deep. and contains
5000 gallons of water. The time
consumed in making the actual dive
is about two seconds, in which he
turns two complete somersaults, one
in the air and another after striking
the water. 1t has been estimated
that the force exerted by dive from
this attitude would equal six IONS.
Mr.. Carter was born in London. Eng
land, and is twenty-five years of age.
He has followed the business since
1898, and denies the story that his
father and brother were killed in
diving. Some five weeks ago he
signed contract to dive from the top
of the Washington monument,
height of 592 feet, on July 4th next.
The spiral tower, near the Ross
House, is another meritorious free at
traction; and is well performed.
On the whole. the attractions have
been highly satisfactory and the man.
agement courteous and gentlemenly.
Few cases of disorder are reported.
