SHEPARD BOOM LAUNCHED.
Brooklyn Democrats Appoint Committee

to See That It Gets to Saratoga.
The Brooklyn Democratic Club at its
meeting at POI Montague street last night
launched u boom for Edward NJ Shepard,
its first president. for Governor, and COM
mittee which Is to represent the club at
the Saratoga convention was instructed to
do all in its power to push it along.
In the absence of Herman A. Metz, the
president. Charles T. Hoagland presided.
Daniel Moynahan said that the campaign
committee intended to do some great work
for Parker and Davis.

Governor" said Robert Dixon. Hes the
finest statesman We have here"
Has the gentleman authority to use
Mr.. Shepard s name2" asked Jules Guedon.
-Mr. Shepard will be indeed very glad
TO have the support Of this club replied
pilgrim to Rosemount. Il feel that his
nomination for Governor would put some
much needed snap in this campaign"
There is a decided apathy in this cam
paign," said Thomas O'Neill, -such an
apathy that makes US feel that we are not
going to win. Up to the present time it Is
q hopeless fight for the Democracy. The
campaign needs something to arouse the
people to the state Of afairs-to put life in
them. Unless we do, there is no more chance
OF us beating Roosevelt than there is of
flying. Nominate Shepard and you will
put life into the campaign a t once.
Our platform is humbug. We want men
who can talk issues to the people. Shepard
could win more votes than all the speakers
such as United States Senator Bailey and
other weak kneed politicians
The question Of the selection by the
people Of United States Senators was then
taken up, and Mr.. Eastmond again launched
Mn. Shepard as the kind of man to represent
the great State of New York in the limited
States Senate
Other speakers re garded II as hardly fair
to the club or to Mr.. Shepard to place hin,
in nomination for. two
such high offices. After a protractsd diS-
oussion the club adoL led a resolution calling
upon the Democratic State conv eI:..;on to
name its choice for United States Senator
In place of Chaunoey NJ. Depew, whose term
expires next year, without any reference
10 Mr.. Shepard or any other favorite.
1t Ia expected that the fifteen delegates
to the State convention from Brooklyn
who are not controlled by Senator McCarren
will favor Mr.. Shepard In preference to
Mr.. Grout.

ROBERT TREAT PAINE FLOPS TO

Prominent Massachusetts Democrat
Quits Party Because Of Stand
on Race Question-Praices
the president.

Boston, Sept. 19.-Robert Treat
Paine, Jr., democratic candidate for
governor in 1899 and 1900, has declar-
ed his intention to vote for President
Roosevelt. He gives as his reason
by which he supposes Mr.. Parker
would be guided if elected, on the Ne
gro question.
"I do not want to see Vardaman, a
Tillman or an Ex-Governor Brown of
Maryland in the White House." he
said, "nor a man who it may be sus-
pected that he would treat Negro
in the White House as such men would
treat the black man. l want man
for president who would treat all men
alike on their merits as men. In this
respect l think Roosevelt has been a
godsend to this country for he has dis
played qualities that we have not seen
in a president of the United States
for many years. Eight years ago this
country was torn by conflict between
classes, and Roosevelt has done more,
and believe will continue to do more,
to dissipate the spirit of class hatred
which is about the worst thing that
could befall the country, than any 9TH
er won I know of.
rive cannot hope for protection, but
we can strive to attain as closely to
it as possible, and am convinced that
Roosevelt means to do the right thing
and do it to the best of his ability, and
that is the sort of president l want
and the sortof a president I believe
the people Of this country want
''The above reason is enough to
cause our right thinking, honest col
ored voters to take the same stand that

A SO-CALLED MINISTER.
Where Was He Born?-Where Was

Red Oak, Iowa, Sept. 20.-(SpeciaD
because colored children are permit
ted to attend the public schools and
thus mix with white youth without
restriction, Rev. A. r. Hunt. of Savan-
nah, Mo-, who was rendered a call by
the local Church of Christ, has de-
clined to serve as pastor here.
Rev. Hunt had already accepted the
pastorate and had been promised a
salary of 81, 200 per annum. He came
to Red Oak to make arrangements for
removing his family to this city and
raised his hands in horror when, upon
visiting the public schools, he saw
little "crinky-haired" Africans whis-
pering across the aisles to neat little
white children.
He inquired if that was the custom
in Iowa and was informed that such
was the case. Upon his return to his
home he wrote terse letter to the
church trustees stating that his prin-
ciples would not permit Of his preach.

Cairo, III.

Below we publish statistical re-
port that has just been received by
the United States Census Bureau, ev-
eryone should clip this out and paste
it in your scrap book:
THE NEGRO.
The census bureau has issued bull
letin concerning the negro population
of the United States which is pretty
well laden with interesting informa-
ton.
The United States holds a greater
negro population than any country in
the world ouside of Africa. The num-
ber is placed at 9,2O4,531. Nine-tenths
of these are in the southern states,
and mGne than three-tenHhs in the
states of Georgia. Mississippi and Ala
bama.
Washington is the city containing
the largest negro population. New
Orleans, Baltimore and Memphis fol-
low in the order named.
It is claimed that in five southern
cities the negroes have actually out
grown the whites in numbers.
About two-thirds of the negroes are
engaged in agriculture; the other third
is divided among the various Occupa-
tions. Teachers and professors num-
ber 21,26S; carpenters and joiners, 21,-
ia; BARRIERS. $4,000; clergymen, 49,
$50; masons. 14,137; dressmakers H.
572: engineers and firemen, 1O.227:
blacksmiths. 10,1O4. There are 1921
listed as musicians and mrsic teach
ers, and 236 artists and teachers Of
art.
In this connection it is interesting
to note statement just issued by the
republican national committee in the
official campaign textbook relative to
the number of negroes connected with
tho government service. The exact
number of negroes in government en-
ploy is 4.61O, and they draw annually
fro the United States treasury total
of s2,S5S,734. There are thirteen col
ored men in the diplomatic service,
and they receive salaries aggregating

Bankers Hear Negro.

New York, Sept. IS. Especial. -
"It Is the black loafers in the South
thst cause the troubles and perse-
cution of our race, and We despise
them as we'll az do the whites" said
John Mitchell, Jr., eolored, presi-
dent of the Mechanics Savings
Bank of Richmond, Va, to the
members of the American Bankers
Association in their kRal session to.
day.
M. Mitchell was the only Negro
banker present at the convention,
but he has participated in all the
business and social events and has
been treated as the white bankers
equal in all respects. He arose to
call attention to the fact that lazy
Negroes are not only numerous in
the South, but to them may be laid
responsibility for much of the de-
served censure to which the race as
a whole is subjected.
Colonel Lowery, president of the
Lowery National Bank of Atlanta,
in response made the following sig
nihcant statement:
There is no trouble between my
race and your race sir, in Georgia.
Both the loafing white men and the
leafng black men are despised there.
l ana glad that Mr.. Mitchell has
spoken as he did and has gone on
record that the bankers association
draws no color line and welcomes
successful bankers, be they white or
black, as members.
We are glad to hear that the
Bankers Association do not draw
the color line as did the Dental
Association, when they met in St.
Louis few weeks ago. Whenever
the business and leading men and
women of the Anglo Saxon race will
consider that we have a division in
our race that is good and bad the
same as they have, the best members
of our race will not be censured for
what some unworthy Afro-American
does; and as we have said before,
save your money, be honest and
law abiding citizens and you will
win the confidence and esteem of
loyal people.

(FrOm the st. Louis Dispatch.)
The invention Of a Negro in St. Jo-
seph. Mo-, will probably revolutionize
the heating system of the world in a
few years. Scientific men who have
seen it believe that in few years
the production of heat by combustion
will be a thing of the past, and that
upon the invention, coal and wood will
no longer be used for heating pur-
poses. The invention is that of
Charles S. L. Baker, and it has been
demonstrated that it will produce heat
enough to worm the largest building
in this city in the coldest weather,
without the use of coal or wood The
heat is produced by friction.
When Baker first told his friends.
a few months ago, that enough heat
could be produced by friction to heat
the st. Joseph courthouse on the cold
est day of the winter, he was believed
to be insane. But Baker was far from
being insane. He had been at work
20 years on a theory of his own that
heat could be Produced by friction.
He made small machine and had
convinced himself that it could be
done.
Since then Baker has built ma
chine that produces enough heat by
friction to warm one of the largest
buildings in st. Joseph. 1t has been
installed in the basement of the First
National Bank building and thousands
of people have witnessed it's wonderful
work and have been forced to admit
that he has solved the problem of heat
ing without combustion.
Bakers invention consists of a steel
tube surrounded by a jacket and in,
side of the tube a wooden roller cut
intofour triangular sections and ar
Ranged about steel shaft The wood
en- roller is five inches in diameter,
and the inside Of the tube in which it
runs is six inches in diameter. The
water chamber outside of the tube is
10 inches in diameter, leaving four
inches in the water chamber. The
model is about three feet long. 1t is
to be understood that the model will
not do the work that larger machine
will do, but Baker has demonstrated
that the water in the boiler can be
heated by friction sufficiently TO pro
duce as much steam as can be pro
duced by any other heat.
A twohorse power motor is now
used to operate the machine and the
tests have shown that at a speed OF
700 revolutions it will heat 900 gallons
of water to a temperature of $50 de-
grees in IS minutes. At the rate OF
700 revolutions steam is produced in
five minutes from the instant the ma
chine is started, and during thenext
As minutes steam is made at the rate
of a pound minute. From that time
on there is gain of ten pounds OF
steam every three minutes. It has
been shown that the machine will
producethe wonderful gain OF zoo
pounds of steam in an hour, or 1900
pounds in 10 hours.

More About a Church
Dance.

To The Editor of The By-Stander:
After reading two very interesting
letters in your paper under the head
of or least on the subject of Church
Dances" l am moved to ask you to
allow me little space in which to
say a few words on the same subject.
Let it be distinctly understood that 1
have no word of censure to offer for
any minister who may be the prime
cause of this present discussion.
would have your readers observe
that the great inconsistency in
churches giving balls lies in the in
compatibility between the character Of
the church of Christ and the char
acter of the amusement of dancing.
The character of Christ's church is
spiritual perfection, and every denom-
ination of His church and every con-
gregation of each denomination must
emphasize and hold up before the
world the true character Of the church
If they do their duty as Christians.
The character of ball is unspirit-
ual. 1t cultivates aesthetics along ma
terial lines. It encourages extrav-
dSdlCC. IL LhC Soul W I'LL
the cares of this world so that it has
not the strength to ascend oward its
divine ideal. Observe carefully that
the great objection is not that balls
or dancing are immoral. They can
be either moral or immoral. Some
people often confuse immortality with
unspirituality. The duty of the church
is not only to protect morality, but
to cultivate and proec spirituality. The
moral law was given and doing its
good work before Christ came to the
world and he came not to destroy that
law but to fulfill it, and His fulfllment
of it was His teaching of high spir-
ituaity. The spiritual transcends the
to man. Spirituality equals mans re-
lation to God. The Christian religion
is not complete in life which is only
moral. It calls for morality plus
spirituality. And the great work of
the church is cultivating spirituality.
Therefore she should not encourage
that which helps to defeat the ac-
complishment of the purpose for which
her divine master established her.
AS O individual indulgence, believe
that any fair minded person of or
dinary intelligence can see that it Is
not so grave an inconsistency as
Church practice" in this line OF
amusement.
The individual might cause some one
to doubt the sincerity of his spiritual
profession, but the church by such
practice might shake the faith of many
in her power to help "the up looking
one" towards his ideal.
I write not to contract the opinions
of any previous writers, but to bring
out point which I believe has not
| before been shown.
