The new negro national political
party is causing a great stir through
out the country. The new party was
originated by gentleman of color
named W. 7. Scott of East st. Louis.
With a national political party of the
colored voters in the field it means
big thing for the dem ,crat nominee if
the colored voters will cast their bal
lot for their candidate. The man who
is always dallying with figures has
given it out that there are 2, 500. 600
negroes of voting age in the country.
Will tie colored man cast his ballot
for presidential candidate of the new
National Civil Liberty Party or will
he continue to vote for and with the
Republican bosses and dictators This
is the greatest question of the hour.

Mr.. Davies argument for good roads
has something more than wind behind
it. The sum of 5000 would not build
one mile of piked road, but it will
help. Roads are necessity, costing
large proportion of the tax revenue
OF the county. The style of road build
ing in Mesa county has been in vogue
nearly 20 years-it is piling dirt in the
highway and then more dirt. Mesa
county road are about as good before
as after being worked. Road over
seers and few taxpayers are the main
beneficiaries. of the road fund. For
ten years at least The Sentinel has
urged that all monies spent ON roads
be for permanent improvements. Its
success thus far has been nil. but it
never wearies in we'll doing and again
urges new departures in building roads
The commissioners might make a per-
manent and everlasting record for them
selves by refusing to build or repair
any roads. Expend no money what
ever save to build mile or more of
piked roadway in each precinct on the
most travelled road. By this means alone
permanent roadways will be secured.
Start this year and build a mile each
way from Grand junction toward Pal.

sidered selfish build a mile toward

depots, in public halls and at social
gatherings you have seen girls who,
by voice and laugh and dress and
attitude, illustrated that one word,
"cheap."
People from other lands admire
American girls-the girls who can
win laurels in colleges and public
schools, in society and in the world
of work, where their bright, quick
wits guide their willing hands so
successfully, but they see the danger
of such large liberty. They see,
perhaps, more clearly than American
philosophers, how this liberty may
destroy real womanliness. And
what do l mean by that? Just this
God himself gave to woman an in
visible armor, imperfectly described
by that good, old-fashioned word,
modesty. Wearing this, she may
still do her best physically, intellect
uaIly and spiritually, without harm.
Laying it aside she violates Gods
law and exposes herself to suspicion,
criticism and censure, no matter
what she undertakes or accomplishes
Women whose friendship she covets
will pass her by, and men whose
ideals of womanly excellence are
high, will surely shun her.
Dear girls, it is so easy to make
mistakes! But this one we are now
considering you need not make
You do not need to make yourself
"cheap."

THE SLOT MACHINE TAX.
Attempt to Enforce The Same Is

CITY Code.

The new Chief of Police, Mr.. George

nance which provides that '.all slot
machines of every description shall
pay license of two dollars to the
city. This law has fallen into abey-
ance during the last few years, but it
is nevertheless a plain provision of
the City Code and at one time it was
regularly enforced.
IL is estimated that there are at least
one hundred of the machines in the
city and this should yield a revenue
of $500. sufficient TO pay the salary of
two city aldermen. Mr.. George W
Jones. who operates six small slot
vending machines. has paid his license
fees for his machines, and he is the
only one so far who has done so
Others have removed their machines
and still others have not vet paid the
fee and talk of contesting the law.
Messrs. Leitch & Brewer and Mr..
Joseph w. Trautwein are among those
who do not consider the matter just
and who talk of making test case.

about through the efforts of Alderman

An Unworthy Beggar

pears TO be about ~ years old, asking
for bread or something to eat. From
the actions of the girl she is not in
need, although everyone has given
her anything she has asked for. Yes
terday she was seen to rap on door
and ask lady for piece of bread,
which was kindly given her, but she
was not satisfied with this and asked
the lady if she had any ''sert, '-mean-
ing dessert. The lady told her no,
and the colored girl walked off with
the bread.
The kind lady became suspicious of
the child, and watched her for some
time, only to see her throw the bread
that was given her in the street.
That sbeggars should not be choos-
ers' is not applicable to this girl, as
she only wants such things as she asks
for. This is a good case for the
police TO investigate, as the people are
very much annoyed by. the numerous
visits of the girl, who becomes very
impertinent when she is refused aims.
Several people have threatened to have
her arrested if she pays them another

The boat did not leave the wharf
until nearly O'Clock, being delayed
by the Colchester boat, which was
quite late. When the boat showed off
there was very little breeze blowing
and it took quite a little time to get
outside. When out near the light
house, however, q light breeze came
along and the May Brown went over
the waves very nicely. Captain George
Ward was in charge and took the party
down as far as Rhode river. when he
turned toward home. A bright moon
shining over head made the water
beautiful, and the air was just cool
enough to be delightful The party
reached the wharf about 10. 80 O'Clock.
Among those on the sail were Mr..
and Mrs. Aubrey jackson, Mr.. and
Mrs. John T. Russell, Mr.. and Mrs.

Big Crowd at Dance.

The dance given last night by the
Annapolis Boat Club at Boucher's pa
vilion was great success. Two hun
dred and fifty persons were present
and most enjoyable evening was
spent. The muisc was furnished by a
portion of the Naval Academy band.
Fhe floor was in excellent condition
and the evening was pleasant and de-
lightful. The committee who had the
dance in charge deserve a great deal
of credit for its success. The Annap-
oils Boat Club, organized few years
ago with a pleasant and attractive
boathouse on the Spa, has taken ON
new life and the efforts OF its mem
bers will tend toward the revival of
the old spirit and vim of former days.
1t is thought other dances will be
given later on to help the prosperity
of the cause and for the social rela-
tions OF the club and its friends.
The music, the program of which
was unusually good, was under the
direction of Mr.. William A. Schulz,
who is taking the place OF Prof. Henry
Schreyer during the later's absence at
Deer Park with portion of the Ma
val Academy orchestra.
