TEST
OfCenentMade
in County
BY Union Portland
Company
is MADE
In Indianapolis Lab
OratOrieS
And It Is Found Superior to
Others Tested.---Order for
10000 Barrels.

As a result of q cement test OF ma
tional interest held recently in the city
of indianapolis the stockholders of the
Union Portland Cement Company of
Rushsylvania. this county, are in a
happy frame of mind and they certain
ly have rsason to be.
In this HoosIer city the largest ce-
ment bridge in the world is soon to
he constructed. In order to ascertain
the merits OF csments made in the
country that city with q view to
purchasing thousands of barrels of
the cement found to be the best when
tested advertised test to be held in
the city laboratories thers. In this
test cement manufactured by the
Union company was included in the
large number of cements tested. 1t
tested higher than any of the other ce-
ments and as q result the Logan coun-
ty company has received an order for
10, 900 barrels of cement from Indian
apolis The test was made on the fol.
lowing points:
1-Fineness of grinding for 200 and
100 mesh seive.
2-BoilinR.
3-Tensile strength both for neat and
sand mixed.
4-Bleaching.
In this latter test the shades oi
white shown by the Union company
cement were far better than the shades
shown by any of the other cements.
The cement standard always requir
ed in work at indianapolis is higher
than the standard required by the gov
ernment and railways of the countr,
and when cement is tested in tina
city the result of the test is subjec
of interest throughout the country.

FOR CONGRESS.
Ralph D. Cole, OF Findlay.
The colored American., 1904-07-23

Capacity, not color, is his standard in
measuring men and as the head of the
nation he will unhesitatingly use all
the powers of his great Office for the
protection Of every citizen irrespec-
tive of color or condition. In return
it is the duty of every Negro North
and South to give him an earnest, ac-
tive and unqualified support. To use
every effort to bring about his cleo
tion, for the retention of the republi-
can party in power means the poIiti-
cal salvation Of the Negro voter. Place
the democracy in control in northern
states and they would not hesitate
to disfranchise the Negro by legisla-
ton. Holding as we do the balance
Of power in the North we owe it to
our brother in the South, to ourselves
and our future welfare, and to the
party of Lincoln, Grant and Garfield
to be firm in ur loyalty and untiring
in our efforts to help the election of
Roosevelt and Fairbanks.

THE REPUBLICAN TICKET.

The Republican party has named
it's standard bearers, flung its banner
to the breeze and is anxious and i'm
patient for the opposition to enter the
lists and there determine by the ar
bitrament of public opinion the ques-
tiOn of party supremacy.
In the selection of Roosevelt and
Fairbanks the party presents to the
country for endorsement, men of cour-
age, character and ability, representa-
tives of stalwart republicanism and
staunch advocates of those principles
and policies which have made the
party great and brought prosperity TO
the people
The platform is short enough for
every one to understand. 1t contains
no apologies. 1t reviews the past and
provides for the future. In language
clear and unqualified it demands JUS
tice for the disfranchised Negroes of
the South If their constitutional
rights are denied, the constitutional
remedy will be applied and the repre-
sentation in Congress and Electoral
Colleges pToportiOnately reduced.
Only the carping critic will insinuate
that the plank was inserted to infiu-
ence colored voters in northern states,
or the political demagogue that it will
cause race friction in the South. 1t
will do neither. The party has pledged
itself to take up the case of disfran-
chised voters and a republican Con-
gress must discharge the obligation.
1t is a grateful glimpse of sun shine
on the political horizon and indicates
that the party that gave the Negro
his rights is determined that he shall
be protected in the exercise of the
same. No man is more staunch in his
friendship for the worthy and dcser-
wing Negro than President Roosevelt.

WOMEN.

One of the most important meet
ings for colored people, which is to
be held during the summer, is the
fourth biennial meeting of the Ma
tional Association of Colored Women,
which was held in ST. Louis, July
II to 10th inclusive. Meetings were
held at st. Paul's A. NJ. E. Church,
corner Twenty-eighth Street and Law
ton Avenue. From all indications,
this session was the most largely
attended Of any in the history of the
organization.

been invited to visit the Worlds Fair

was discovered hat the 8th Regiment

Fair managers discovered that this
