BLINDED BY VANITY.
Roosevelt Forsets the Man Whose
Mantle He Wears.

Roosevelt EOr8et0 the Man whose
Mantle He Wears.
In his letter Of acceptance Mr.. Roose-
welt had much to say on the subject OF
Misrepresentation. and did not hesitate
to accuse his opponents of using this
weapon unblushingly in dealing with
him and his record. says the New Or
leans Times-Democrat The question
is entirely pertinent. But it cannot he
claimed that misrepresentation in this
campaign is confined to the Demo
cratic party. Mr.. Roosevelt, despite
the ease with which he praises him
self, is not entirely free from Il sus-
picion of misrepresentation OF the most
aggravated form. Could amy form OF
Misrepresentation lie worse or more
offensive to the decent sclsibilities of
humankind than that form which
would rob the dead OF due credit for
just achievements: Ii we are to ac-
cept Mr.. Roosevet's word us final. his
own conduct during his three years
occupancy of the executive chair ut
Washington is the sum and substance
of the country's history. The late
William Mckinley, who was generally
supposed to have had something to DO
with the programme which resulted
in the satisfactory settlement of the
Alaskan boundary dispute; who is
credited by his countrymen with hav-
ing worked out the Cuban problem,
t,p0 f1,iy,c no
the government and placing the in
habitants of the islands in a fair way
to work out their own destiny; who de-
serves whatever credit may be due for
the policies adopted in the management
Of the Philippines-William Mckinley,
who was supposed to have been a fac
tor i'll originating and developing these
and other policies of the Republican
administration, is completely lost in
the shadow Of Theodore Roosevelt.
Fortunately for the memory OF Will
liam Mckinley there are men yet liv-
ing who will not be deceived by the
Boosting of the man who thus seeks to
blur, by indirection at least, the value
of his efforts.
N.AUl Uul MISREPRESENTATION SAA SAC
Democrats expect from such a man?
If his self suff1ciency betrays him
into misrepresentation of men of
his own political faith he cannot be
expected to find any virtuous thing in
those who are arrayed against him or
in the policies which they espouse. If
he is so blinded by vanity and the
transient power he yields to forget
the virtues of the man whose mantle
he now wears Democrats cannot ex-
pect even fairness from this man of
vaunted frankness and courage. There
is generally Misrepresentation in poll
tics. 1t is unfortunately one of the
vices of the game. But we had hoped
that this method Of political warfare
would be confined to lower type of
man and that no president of the Unit
ed States and no man Offering for this
high and honorable position would
ever stoop to adopt it.

Song Recital---A pleasant affair an
nounced for Friday evening of next
week. the 18th proximo is a song recital
given by Miss Mollie Comstock at the
Catholic church hall. Her many friends
are sure to respond to the invitations

Hicks October Predictions---The Oc-
tober predictions of Hicks start off with
the promise of colder weather for the
outgoing days of September with re-
turn to higher temperature about the
18th or 9TH of October. The first regu-
lar storm period of the month will
centre on the 18th, extending from the
sth to the 18th. Rains. wind and pos
sibly thunderstorms may be looked for
at that time. Reactionary storms are
said to be likely to follow from the 10th
to 18th. A prolonged spell of weather
may be anticipated from that time to
the close of October, accompanied in
northern ATTITUDES by early furries of
snow.
Big Shorthorn Cattle Sale-A. T.. Perry's
sale of fifty head of Shorthorn cattle at
his farm near Wales on Oct. 22nd is
another straw indicating the future
policy OF the progressive Cavalier
county farmer. Up to aIfew years ago
MIR. Perry was grain buyer for the
Northwestern elevator company but has
readily arrived at the solution of suc-
cessful farming in this county by de-
voting the greater part of his energies
on the farm to live stock. His experi.
ence at diversified farming, covering
only few years has been highly sue
cessful and his sale of Shorthorns on
October 22nd will be of much interest to
farmers of Wales and vicinity.

PROTECTION NOT NEEDED.
Why Should Monopolies Be Forever
Coddled and Fed:

A Republican organ points with pride
to the record showing that 'in the
three months of May, June and July
Of the present year this country export
ed $12O.7S9.769 worth Of manufactur-
ed articles and $106.503. 1873 worth Of
agricultural products"
This is fine showing. 1t would be
still finer if the cost of many of our
manufacturing articles were not en-
HANGED beyond the exporting point by
tariff duties on their paw materials, a
handicap to which no foreign competi-
tor is subjected.
But the question before the people is
why, if our manufacturers are able to
export their goods at the rate Of near
ly $5OO,OOO.OOO a year. do they need a
so per cent tariff to protect them
from competitors whom they are I'M
derselling in the markets Of the world?

blacks of Africa. The voodoo conjurer
in Africa invoked for good or i'll the
same nameless power which today
when the old chants are repeated at re-
Hgious revivals or elsewhere thrills the
negro through and through. Not
knowing any other way to describe the
influence which sets every nerve in his
body to dancing wildly. the negro calls
it "gittin' happy" There is one air
whose influence is indescribable. 1t is
called 81 Don't Want to Be Buried In
the Storm" One black woman told
Mrs. Murphy she felt like de Holy
Sperrit" was right on her head when
she sang it. Another said: People,
dem songs makes de ha'r rise up. 1
feel mine a-risin now"
Mrs. Murphy asked one of her black
women friends to sing into a phono-
graph this song, 81 Don't Want to Be
Buried In the Storm" She wished to
use it to illustrate one of her lectures
on negro music and folklore. The wo-
man refused, saying nobody could hear
that song without 'gittin' happy" and
it would never do for New York ladies
to get happy. The real negro melodies
seem somehow to release impulses and
emotions for which there is actually no
name. Under the spell of this impell-
ing force the blacks are filled full of in
tensifed nerve power and do strange
things. Even white people feel the
spell of the songs.
This effect the white mans limitations
of negro melody never produce. Mrs
Murphy protests. with all the conviction
of one who knows, against the spurious
ragtime, coon songs and Suwanee river
compositions white people foist upon a
public as negro music. The alleged ne
gro stories many writers palm off for
genuine are no whit truer. If all these
or tod
lore and philosophy, the genuine will be
all lost-in fact, it is now actually
being lost. Mrs. Murphy calls on edu-
Gated negroes and on white people who
have opportunity to rescue the genu-
inc article. Unless this is done an in
teresting and historically valuable body
of literature and music will be lost ir-
retrievably.
Mrs. Murphy excerpts from the gen
eral condemnation of spuriousness Joel
Chandler Harris contributions to negro
folklore.
The lady's book is called Southern
Thoughts For Northern Thinkers and
African Music In America She gives
recftals illustrated with genuine negro
songs 1t was not till after the death
of her husband, when she faced life
with two children to support, that she
began to utilize as a means of income
the knowledge whose acquisition had
been to her such a labor of love.
Her book contains most interesting
specimens of genuine negro music and
real negro stories, not the made up ones
of pseudo negro MINISTRIES and white
writers. Mingled with these are OBJ
servation and comment which, as COM
ing from a southern woman who. likes
and understands the negro, are worth
attention 1t is her solemn conviction
that the southern people themselves
must win back the confidence and good
will of the now estranged younger ne
gro generation, that the southerners
themselves can help the blacks and
solve the negro question better than
anybody else can. And here is her con-
clusion:

HOW TO BECOME GRACEFUL,

1t you want to be graceful you must
learn to walk properly. Very few peo-
pie walk correctly, and yet it is an art
well worth learning, for it adds grace
ana charm to the figure even as in
moving about room.
The girl who walks correctly walks
easily, and she generally delights in
the exercise which helps to bring the
bloom of health to her cheek, brightness
to her eyes and adds to the beauty of
her figure.
Watch a girl who walks well and see
how she holds herself not stiffly, but
with her head erect and chest well
held up. Possibly if you ask her how
she learned to carry herself so easily,
but proudly, she will tell you that she
once practiced her grandmother's plan
of walking with book balanced on her
head. 1t is a capital exercise, and it
might well be more in vogue than it is
Then watch how she places her neatly
shod feet evenly on the ground. The
