FOR ANEeRo PARTY.

w f FEEL TO indorse the PROPOSE
w ton that comes from W. T.
Scott. coIored, of East St Louis, Ill, 20
hold n convention OF negroes for the
purpose OF nominating a negro candi-
date for the presidency of the United
states Furthermore. we sincerely
hope that. il such a candidate is NOM
mated, every negro in the country that
can vote will vote for him. If we can
be assured of this we'd be quite willing
10 mortgage something for the purpose
of raising money with which TO lay a
few wagers-for charitable purposes
only. of course-on the election OF the
Democratic presidential nominee, who
ever he may be.
Scott says the name of the new ne
gro party viii be the National Civil
Liberal party. which Is surely high
sounding enough to attract the average
negro voter. The platform Will call for
national ownership Of transportation
facilities-probabiy i'm order 10 cut out
the Jim Crow car" in the southland
q pension list for former slaves. That
last plank should fetch every negro
the first plank misses. BY all means let
the good work go on We wish Scott
a large measure Of success in the or
ganization Of his party.
According TO the census of 1900 there
are 206o,30 negroes of voting age in
the United States OF course. some OF
them don't vote, and the votes OF
others. when cast. do not count in the
general result. But if only half Of them
vote it viii take enough votes away
from the Republican party TO insure
the success of the Democratic nominee.
Here's hoping Brother Scott won't let
himself be choled of by any promises
Of Offices or social equality from the
Republican national managers. the at
tainment OF which, we fear, is largely
mis- object in promulgating talk about
a negro party.

ALL FOOLS DAY.

r YOU SEE a battered hat or the
sidewalk as you come downtown
this morning. don't kick it. The
chances are it has a brick under it.
Don't stop 10 pick up the purse that
reposes 50 ostentatiously on the street
crossing. It looks prosperous. but It
is filled with waste paper. or. worse
yet. and maybe a string it attached to
it with small boy at the other end,
and maybe, as you stoop to lift the
treasure it win be yanked suddenly
away and your ears will be shriled
with loud and vexatious bantering. In
other words. and briefly. this is All
Fools Day
We don't know that it's right to re-
mind you Of it. either. There are sew
eral reasons why it may not be right.
First and foremost, it may spoil the
innocent fun OF some pIeasure-loving
youngster. Second. it may cause you
TO lose liberal reward. After all. the
purse may contain a large amount of
money. You can never tell. Purses
are lost on All Fools day just as they
are lost on other days. 1t would make
you mad if you should be too wary 10
pick up purse and then see a less dig
nified party come right along behind
you and sequester a tidy fortune. II
would. now. wouldn't it?
Perhaps the hat hasn't a brick under
it, II you are willing to take a chance
kick out at it joyously. especially if
you have an accident insurance polk
cy. But then this question arises:
Would an accident insurance company
be liable for damages to the toe of
man who is fool enough 10 kick at a
battered hat on All Fools day? We
lean strongly 10 the belief that any
court would absolve the company.
However. If you wish 10 take the
chance you may. as we said before.
kick cut right joyousIy. Maybe you'll
win your suit, after all.
Why is the first day of April called
All FOOLS day? That isn't a very easy
question to answer. Some authorities
tell us that it is an outgrowth Of an
old pagan custom, such as the Hull
festival. which occurs annually, on
March 81, among the Hindus. or the
Roman Feast of Fools. No matter
whence it's origin. it is most embarass-
ing to people who forget it. and most
joyful TO those who remember. II YOU
should be fooled today you can st
least remember to do one thing: Keep
your temper.
1t doesn't pay to fuss and froth and
fume and cuss over little All FOOLS day
annoyances. 1t only happens once a
year, anyway.

JUDGING FROM THE SCRAPS OF
fur and remnants OF hide scattered
around the political battle-ground, and
the low means OF wrath and anguish
that float up from the Republican
wounded, there has been another SEES
EiCn OF the Kearns-SmOOt Harmony
club. While the primaries arc only a
preliminary skirmish, the ARRAY has
evidently been for blood. and goodness
only knows what will happen when
the real struggle comes on
From one of the Republican organs
comes a long. loud, fierce declaration
that the convention of postmasters to
be held in this city Is a weird, wicked
scheme Of the SmoOt gang to swipe
everything political within reach of
the Republican party this year What's
more, the postmasters' convention does
bear the earmarks of SmoOt, else why
should ore James Glove, cOrpulent po-
litician. postmaster of Provo. chief
lieutenant OF the Smoot congregation
and Republican SPELL binder in general,
be stalking with Callister in his gum
shoes2 Glove and Callister both de-
clare they are not in politics, which
declaration is of itself enough to make
the wise get suspicious suddenly. Be
sides. the coincidence of dates by
which the postmasters gather the day
before the state convention would
alarm almost anybody who knew
Glove. He may be out OF politics in
this particular post-officiaI celebration.
but there Will be straight trail worn
right from the postmasters' hall to the
side door Of the Republican state con-
vention.
We don't blame the Kearns crowd for
being suspicious. When an apostle of
the church and the postmasters of the
state of Utah synchronize politically.
as it were. everybody else is due to
take to the tall timber or else get tele-
ecoped. Besides. Csllister and Glove
and all their allies are wearing the
smile that bedecked the cat after she
got the cream. and by that same token
they know why they are smiling.
OF course, the Democrats are heart
broken over this untoward condition Of
affairs. They have been up against
the Smoot- CIove-C allister combination
themselves and know just how CHASTITY
the result of its operations can be
Also. they have been jeered at and
nouted and called unkind names be-
cause they objected to an apostolic
hand in things POLITICAL; naturally,
they are sympathetic under the cir
cunstances and wish the Republican
brethren joy Of their prospect.

SKETCH OF WILLIAM A SMITH.

(Chicago Evening Post. }

Congressman William Alden Smith of
Michigan, who dared to stand up in con-
gress the other day and boom Speaker
Cannon for president in utter defiance Of
President Roosevelt, has an interesting
history. William Alden, as he is known
in his district, where the people usually
omit the last third OF his name. has the
reputation OF daring to speak out in
meeting whenever he feels like H. and
he cares little where the chips fly as he
swings his Oratorical ak for a friend or
against a foe.
There are many persons living in
Grand Rapids Mich, who remember
Smith as dirty-faced urchin selling pa
pers on the streets and backing boots
for Michiganders wore boots those days.
and they ranged from the high, "corked'
boots of the log-runner OF the Grand
river to the fine. hand made. soft leather

THE DOUBLE STANDARD.

II HERE Is a GOOD DEAL Of truth.
L unfortunately, in the statement
made by the Rev. Mr.. Elmer /. Goshen
at the banquet given by the Mems
club of the Congregational church the
other night that women are RESPONSE
bic for the double standard of morals.
one for men. the other for women.
Mr.. Goshen said that as long as good
women continue TO receive bad men
as guests i'm their homes the double
standard will exist And the same good
women would exclude most vigorously
an erring sister.
When we get back to first principles,
we always find that some man is re-
sponsible for the downfall of every
woman that falls. She is more sinned
against than SHINING, but she is never
given a chance to reform The man
never sees the necessity for reforming
because his offense constitutes no bar
to what is known as good society. He
continues to be 4 welcome guest in the
homes of men who know he is guilty,
in the homes Of women who have rea-
son for believing his morals are not
what they should be.
Why do not the good women set up
a barrier as impenetrable for bad men
as for bad women? The question has
never been satisfactorily answered. 1t
never will be satisfactorily answered
until the women themselves proclaim
that there shall no longer be such a
thing as a double standard. When
they do the men viii very promptly
come around 10 their way Of thinking.

His Rise Is Rapid

When a lad young Smith went 10 Ian
sing and got an appointment as a page
IN the legislature. where he made many
friends among the members. He began
to read law and in 1888 was admitted ~
the bar. His rise was rapid, FOR Smith
developed the gift OF CAB, which was
inherently his. and he climbed equally
well in his profession and in state poll
ties. He was elected a member of the
state committee before he was 30 years
old As a railway lawyer he made a
name for himself and acted as general
counsel for the CHICAGO & West Michigan.

Defiant Before President.
It is related that Congressman Smith
was at the White House one day when
President Roosevelt was stating his be-
lief with characteristic force, as to the
plain duty of the Republican members
OF the house. The story runs that in the
course OF the conference President Roose-
welt told Smith and his colleagues 10 go
back TO the capitol and pass the bill
without more delay.
This did not sound well TO Smith.
Swapping his fingers with as much bel

The proposition to make it possible
for chaplains in the army to earn high
or rank and pay is very cOmmenda-
bic one. In actual war the chaplains
are frequently called upon for heroic
performances, and they never fail to
answer the call. There is great injus-
tice in the law that makes it impossi-
bic for them TO hope for advancement.
If a doctor can be made a major gen
eral, why not a chaplain?
