The Peril in Africa

thoughts of black rule and independ.
ence such as those that prevail in Ii.
IBERIA No such native avalanche ever
hung over the heads of even the few
white settlers in the American colo
MES in the early day, for the American
wilderness was never peopled by such
hosts of savages as fill the African
veldt and jungle.
For the attempt. at least, nothing
is wanting but the Toussaint rOuvre-
ture, the determined and able black
leader who can organize the diverse
and mutually foreign nations and
tribes and inspire them with a COM
mon motive of revolt No such leader
is in sight Yet negro King Philip,
negro Pontiac a negro Tecumseh,
the stamp of whose foot upon the
earth may some day be heard in the
earthquake. is neither inconceivable
nor impossible.
We may understand the uneasiness
Of South African whites over this Hot
tentot instruction. The Hottentots
are widespread nation. A general
black insurrection must result in hor-
rible massacres. Yet there could be
but one final result for 1t, as there
was but one possible result for the
general Indian wars in America. The
thousands of whites, with their re-
sources and organization, would pre-
vail, and more sternly than ever
against the millions of blacks.

Fake Antiques Are Many

likewise a genuine antique can be con-
verified into number of pieces. any
one of which will bring the price
which the original would have sold
for.
An ingenious way of disposing OF
this bogus furniture is to send it to
some remote country cottage, where
the custodian. coached for the pur-
pose. will explain to the unsuspectlng
purchaser that at has been in the
family for centuries" The collector
has no reason to suspect this state
ment, and he adds the bogus treas
ures to his collection with JOY in his
heart at his good luck.
1t occasionally happens that
dealer chances upon treasure house
of real ancient furniture in some out
of the way corner of the world. The
owner knows little of the real value
of the what he calls rubbish" and as
a rule 1t has been relegated to the
attic years before. He regards thjs
dealer who pays what to him seems "a
fabulous sum for the old furniture as
a rich man with a hobby, and, taking
the money, proceeds to refurnish his
house with furniture of the most mod
ern distinguishing plush rockers. box
couches and enameled beds.-New

III the blacks should rise" is a SEN

OIL Products Of Pennsylvania Exceeds
That Of All the Rest Of the World.


According to a report of the geo.
logical survey of the United States
government, now nearly ready for
publication, petroleum was first dis
covered by Col Drake less than half
century ago in Pennsylvania near
Titusville Men in those days had no
notion that petroleum was among the
necessities of existence. A tallow dip
or wax candle Illuminated sufficient
ly the nights activities and a blazing
log wood fire left no room for desire
for another kind of heater Petro-
leum might have been counted SUI
perfluity. but instead II sprang into
immediate favor, and now its list Of
popular byproducts grows longer
every year.
The total production OF crude pc
troleum from 1859 to the end of 1902
has been no less than 1,165, 2S0,727
barrels. That means that IL two and
one-half feet were allowed for the
height of a barrel and If these bar
rels filled with all the domestic oil
that has been produced were laid so
that their heads touched they would
encircle the earth two and one-quar-
ter times.
OF this total Pennsylvania and New
York produced $50 per cent; Ohio.
24.3 per cent West Virginia, 11.3 per
cent; Indiana, $50 per cent; Califor-
MIA, S.6 per cent; Texas, 81 per cent,

30 the People Want a Man Like
Roosevelt 2,

Now honestly, do the American people,
after more than a century of endeavor,
want to give way TO the whims and cap
rices of Theodore ROOSEVELT He is un-
stable and erratic. He is not satisfied un-
less he is making trouble or doing some
thing to cause comment. He is trying to
apply to public affairs the principles of
"the strenuous life" America is peace
full country Its citizens are peace low
ing. We have had our troubles and have
been able to take care of ourselves. The
world knows that we have the power and
resources to do everything necessary TO
protect the interests of American citizens,
whether of personal or business charac
ter. No foreign government will assail
US. What this country should do is to
attend to its own business. Neither the
''big STICK nor the ''chip on the should
err policy is necessary to our national
welfare. Mr.. Roosevelt is the represent
ative of the war spirit. We do not need
wars. We do not want wars. There is
no reason why we should have wars. No
one mans ambition to go laundering
down the ages in school histories or in
any other kind of histories should be al
lowed to change the policy which has
made this country great in the true sense.
We do not believe that there has been
such deterioration in the American charac-
ter as will lead to the election to the Pres
idency by popular vote, of man like
Theodore Roosevelt. 1t is inconceivable.
The fact should be apparent to all that he
is little less than a political adventurer.
He has abandoned everything for which
he contended before the Presidency came
unexpectedly into view. What the, coun-
try needs just now is to serve on Mr..
Roosevelt an emphatic "notice to quit"

IT is all well enough to talk about 5O,-
900 Democratic majority when one wants
to make the opposition feel unhappy, but
as practical scheme to insure a very
large vote it will not do at all. While
every indication gives assurance of glo-
rious victory for Parker and Davis in this
State there is no way of estimating the
majority. The lines are differently drawn
in National contest, Many men who
would be influenced by local conditions,
or personal preference, to vote for par
ticular man or party are very loyal to
their National ticket. This fact makes
fgurisg on the numhsr of votes Rooss-
velt will be beaten in Kentucky q trife
uncsrtsie. That he viii be defeated by at
least 25, 600 in positive, but there is no
greater mistake made than to take things
for granted in political battle. The sure
way to make the majority 80, 900 is to get
out and work as if there was chance for
US to lose the State.

WHEN negro is strung up in the South
for committing brutal outrage on white
woman the sensitive soul of President
Roosevelt shudders. 1t grieves him to
see "the door of hope" thus rudely closed
forever on one of the wards of the ma
ton. But when horse thieves were given
short shrift in the West he approved the
policy, saying in his volume recounting
his experiences as a ranchman: "In
many of the cases of lynch law which
have come to my knowledge the effect has
been healthy for the community" This
change of view can easily be accounted
for. The niggers have more votes than
the horse thieves.

PARKER is a modest, sane, level-headed,
gentleman with mind trained by long
service on the bench to fair, conserva-
tive discussion of every question. Roose-
velt, on the other hand, is vain, strut
ting, strenuous politician, who takes the
shortest cut to reach his destination,
whether he tramples down the White
House lawn, or kicks hole through the
constitution. One respects the laws and
the rights of the people, without an ex-
hibition of viciousness or selfshness; the
other is as wilfulas a child, as full of re-
sentiments and stuffed with personal pride.
How could any intelligent voter make a
mistake between them.
