A well groomed woman lolling an
opera wagon was driven up Fifth
avenue the other morning. From her
too youthful hat a navy veil was
draped and she gazed nonchalantly at
the crowds in the street. This woman,
who was returning from her coun-
try home on the Hudson, was Mrs.
Stuyvesant Fish. 1t is doubtful if
New Workers ever will weary of the
sprightly Mrs. Fish, who does not OBJ
ject to the attention of the public.
She stands for the type of modern
woman of fashion-a whimsical, gen.
erous, sharp-tongued creature who dis
penses princely income to amuse her
friends. Just now Mrs. Fish is more
interesting than ever. She had stir
red up hornets nest by criticising the
other leaders of fashion. In con-
sequence she will face a pretty stormy
time. But trust Mrs. Fish. Her re-

Mr.. Henry Starmer came rs great
surprise Mr.. Starmer was taken i'll
Sunday with congestion of the brain
and his condition became serious Mon
day but little hope being held out to his
family by the attending physicians. He
continued to grow worse and died at
$50 p. m. Thursday, surrounded by his
family.
Mr.. Starmer came with his family to
Van Buren about four years ago from
Dodge, Nebraska, and during his resi-
dence in our city has made many friends,
who sincerely sympathize with his fami-
ly in their great bereavement. He leaves
wife and FIVE sons, one of whom is
married and resides in Nebraska, the
others all being here at the time Of mis-
death. Mr.. Starmer was brother of
Mrs. L. G.. Arkebauer and 1t WAS a
visit to her here which caused him to
seek Van Buren, as a location.
The eldest son and other relatives
have been telegraphed for and the
funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon
from the family residence in the north
east part of the city,

not for the fact that the New York
Sun, which has lately become the
Jealous champion Of Roosevelt
and RoOseveltism, comes out with
the evident purpose of relegating
the race question as far as poss-
Bile, with the following:
"lntelligent citizens of Northern
states, to whichever political party
they belong, have not been sur
prsed that the Southern states
have taken heroic measures to
prevent the negro domination
which in so many districts would
be involved in leaving all negroes
free to exercise the franchise.
That nothing else could have been

Lodge was solely responsible for
tbs negro plank. RooseveIts
friends were unaware Of it. 1t is
further stated that Roosevelt him.
self knew nothing about it, and
that he was opposed to it, AS
proof of The truth of this his silene
about it in his speech Of accept
ance was pointed TO. This sort Of
talk, however, comes a little late,
and in the light of all the facts is
not conclusive. Lodge is Roose-
velt's closest friend. Roosevelt
had control of the Chicago conven-
ton, he edited everything that was
said or done, and it is preposter-
ous to suppose that a plank of
such far.reaching importance
should have been inserted, not
only without his consent, but
absolutely without his knowledge.
The truth is, Roosevelt has even
outdOne Lodge in his rampant
negrophilism and that his own re-
cord without any platform what
ever on the subject is sufficient to
make the negro question an issue
in this campaign. Therefore, any
effort on his part or the part of
his friends to escape the force and
effect Of the Chicago declaration
on this subject is simply absurd.
This apparent effort to shift on
the race issue is no doubt due to
the discovery that the sympathy
of the Anglo.Saxon manhood of
the country is with the Southern
people on this question. The white
people ofthis country are together
when it comes to the question of
white supremacy, and the mainten,
ance of the integrity of the race.
The Republicans have no doubt
realized by this time that their
efforts to capture the negro vote
in the doubtful states has proven
a boomerang. Roosevelt's letter of
acceptance on this subject, how
every, will be watched with much
interest.
