There were once three men who gave
a great deal of thought to the problem
Of what to do the first of the year.
The first man announced that he had
sworn or all his bad habits. And ev.
erybody said he always was wild
character, ana It would be well to keep
closer watch than ever OH him. as now
there was no telling when he would cut
loose worse than ever.
The second man, seeking to profit by
the experience OF the first. declared
that he had not sworn Off because he
had no bad habits to discard. The re-
suit was that everybody pronounced
him hardened wretch, who was In.
sensible ana Indifferent to the duties
of life.
The third man studied their cases,
ana concluded that the best thing he
could do would be to say nothing what.
ever. Whereupon everybody asserted
that he was too callOuscd to reform
and was not worthy of any respect at
all.
This simply goes to show that, no
matter how you guess, you will guess
wrong.

"Oh, l don't think much Of that

Fitz didn't say anything in regard

telling Of the Incident. II got n brand.

A HOME WILL BE BUILT
F. q A. M. Grand Lodge Takes steps
For the Erection Of An Or
phans Home.

In its account of the meeting OF
the Masonic Grand Lodge which
closed at Little Rock Thursday,
the Democrat says that the edict
for the establishment of an or
pban's home was referred to a
special committee, of which Hon.
G. A. Bridewell of Hope was nam
ed as chairman. The committee
is to consider the subject in Yaca-
ton, and when it has agreed upon
a plan the same is to be submitted
to the lodges of the state, to be
acted on at the next session Of the
grand lodge, in November, 1905.
The edict as introduced before
the grand lodge at this session by
Grand Secretary Fay Hampstead
contemplated the establishment OF
the home at Little Rock, the funds
for the building of it and Its MAIN
tenance to be gathered from the
surplus rents of the grand lodge
funds, and some eight thousand
dollars of the Temple debt fund
which will remain in hand after
the full payment of the bonds at
present outstanding.
The home contemplated by the
proposed edict is to be governed
by a board of trustees to be elect
ed each year by the grand lodge,
they to serve one year. The
grand lodge did a generous act to-
wards the order of the Eastern
Star by providing that the ladies
may also have representation on
the board Of trustees. The board
is to provide for the care and
maintenance of the orphan child
rem of deceased Master Masons OF
lodges of Arkansas.
This plan may not be adopted,
and the committee may decide up
on another. It is certain, howev-
err. that the home will be built.

ROOSEVELT STANDS
PAT ON NEGRO POLICY
Announces That Negro Policy Will
Remain Unchanged.
President Says That His Actions With
Regard to the Negro Has
Been Misconstrued.

The news comes from Washing
ton that President Roosevelt will
have no new negro policy, as some
of his gratuitious spokesman
would have the country believe.
The President has spoken and it IS
the old, old story; he simply
stands pat. !"
He said substantially to several
intimate friends recently that his
negro policy, if there was such a
policy, would remain unchanged.
He said that he would continue to
recognize merit and worth regard
less of imaginary boundaries. and
that he proposes to be for the next
four years, as he had been during
the past three years of his tenure
in office, 1.-THE President of the
whole people" President Roose-
welt said that his actions with re-
gard to the negro had been mis-
construed and misstated, and that
when such ceased to be the case he
felt that his position on the sub
ject would be understood in its
proper light
The President did not state
whether he would appoint such
negroes as DR.. Crum, of Charleston
to responsible positions in the
South, or whether he would boy
colt a whole community, as in the
case of the Indianola, Miss. post
office matter because the best peo-
pie of the town did not want ne
gro postmistress. While this fea-
ture of this stand pat" negro pol
icy was not discussed, it remains
to be seen whether Rooseveltism
during the next four years will
manifest itself as in the Crum and
Minnie Cox episodes.
The President also stated that
he did not believe in negro social
equality either North or South
and that the Booker Washington
incident should never have been
construed as placing him in that
attitude. While there is talk of
President Roosevelt visiting Geor-
ga some time this winter, nothing
definite has been determined in
that direction. In fact the chances
would seem to be against the trip,
as the President can not be away
during the session of Congress. II
he does 90 South, however, he
will probably discuss the negro
question with view to stating his
position to his own satisfaction.
