The question has been brought
up several times during the past
few weeks by the clerks and others
employed in the various business
places in town on the matter of
early closing during the summer
months. We learn that several
merchants have signified their in
tention to close their stores at 80
or 7 o'clock which would be a
great relief to their employees.
Every merchant should join in
this movement and close their
business places early during the
summer months.

The Senate has again failed
to confirm the appointment. OF
William Crum, the negro who was
appointed Collector of the Port at
Charleston, S. c., by President
Roosevelt, about two years ago.
Strong arguments were made by
several of the senators against the
nomination of the negro. In the
course of his remarks Senator
Daniels declared that the appoint
ment of negroes to high political
Offices, such as that to which Crum
has been named, sets the race
dreaming of rights inconsistent
with the position of negroes in So
ciety and inflicts more harm than
good on both races. Such ap.
pointments, he said, tend to make
the negro arrogant and offensive

Active Business Is Carried on ~

Jerome Hart gives the following
sketch of street scenes in Jerusalem:
Gust outside the gate, on the Jaf1a
road, there is multitude of booths OF
small dealers and rows of native cafes
where laborers sit on stools smoking.
There are also large numbers OF don
key drivers waiting with their AMI
mails for hire Although the wall Is a
massive structure and the gate some
fifty feet high, the entrance is narrow,
with right-angled turn-one OF the
methods adopted in the old days for
defense. Through this narrow gate
way there pours an endless stream OF
camels, 'donkeys and footinen all day
long. Without the gate you see 1os'
Ting camel drivers and camels kneel-
ing to receive their loads. Scores OF
hucksters are squatting on the ground
behind their heaps of oranges, dates,
lemons, onions, radishes and other
vegetables. There are also many
vendors of bread-a staple in Jerusa-
lem, as in all the eastern world; 1t Is
piled up in stacks, very much as we
handle cordwood here, and with about
as much attention to cleanliness.
Many of these hucksters have stock
so small as to be pitiful-some two or
three pounds of wormy figs, for ex-
ample, worth perhaps five cents

SENATOR 4 j. HOPKINS I. ? KIN
OF ILLINOIS e'yEs HIS VIEWS ON
. - DisFRANcHIsEMENT.
Says socalIed Race Plank in RepubIi-
can Platform Us All Right-says
South is Unju st-sure Roosevelt
Will Win.


In recent interview, Hon. Albert
J. Hopkins, Illinois virile junior sen:
ator, was questioned concerning the
reduction of representation plank of
the Republican platform and de.
nounced the alleged state govern
ments in the South as travesty on
| representative government.
The Reduction Plank.
Senator, what do you think will
| be the effect of the so-called race
| plank in the Republican platform
| was asked.
II am glad that you asked me that
question, and am glad that you refer
to the. 'so-called' race plank. That
plank is one to which no right-think
ing citizen, North or South, can hon
estly object. The question suggested
by that plank is one that lies at the
very foundation of representative
righteous settlement depends in no
small measure the liberty and pros
perity of the American people.
under the operation of State con-
situations in this country today, a
comparatively few persons at the
South are intrusted with power equal
to that enjoyed by great number Of
persons at the North.
"Take the State of South Carolina
for example, whe1e there are 100000
white persons and 100000 Afro-Amer-
leans. In that state Afro-Americans
are not allowed to vote, and the re-
suit is that the 100000 whites there
exercise, in the Federal Government,
as much power as do 100000 per-
sons in Illinois.
''Now, it is a mere commonplace to
state that such a condition is trav-
esty on representative government.
If that order of things continues, the
time will not be long before the liber-
ties of the eople, white as well as
black, will be disregarded. Such a
government may be administered in
telligently for time. but it can new
er, in any sense, be said to be free.
The spirit of unjust discrimination
