NOT \ SACRIFICE, BUT AN HONOR

Hon. William J, Bryan is OF the
oninion. and very correctly so, that
il was a piece of impertinence for the
pnblic to dub the acceptance by Mr..
FIibu Root of the Office of secretary
nj state "a sacrifice. Mr., Bryan
pertinently remarks that Thomas JET
ferson, John Marshall, James Madi-
son. John Quincy Adams, Henry Clay
and Daniel Webster were among the
men who served the American people
in the high and honorable Office OF
secretary of state. Yet, now that Mr..
Elihu Root has accepted that position,
the American people have been sur
feited with extravaganza tributes to the
wealthy man who has abandoned re-
munerative practice as corporation
lawyer to accept the highest honor IN
the gift of the president, and to have
his name enrolled among those of the
eminent men who have preceded him.
The Baltimore Sun strikes a popular
chord when it says:
''UnIess money counts for every
thing; unless money-making is the
only honorable occupation, then
the talk of the great sacrifice
which Mr.. Elihu Root makes to &C
cept the office of secretary of state
is wrong. 1t is untrue, unpatriOtic
and harmful. The salary of the
Office is $4,000 year, and that
should be sufficient for family to
live on. If it is not sufficient it
ought to be. Next to the presi-
dency the Office of secretary of
state is perhaps the highest place
in the service of the American
people. The secretary is next af-
ter the president in the line of
succession to the Office of chief
magistrate. The doctrine that
money is worth more than an Of
fee such as that of secretary of
state and the opportunity that it
affords to serve ones country and
gain fame and honor is false
and harmful doctrine to teach
young men,"

THE NEGRO NORTH AND SOUTH

The editor of Public Opinion, pub
lished in New York, takes a view of
the south'S attitude towards the negro
that is frank and fair and which I'M
doubleday offers an explanation of the
average northerner's views on the
subject. The northern man looks at
the question from an entirely theOret-
ical standpoint and, viewing it thus,
it is not at all remarkable that he
constructs a fabric of civic and per-
sonal equality out of his fine ideas OF
natural rights and inheritances. But
let him come down to practice and his
fne-spun theories break like the skein
OF spiders web
Theory and practice suggests Public
Opinions attitude on this question.
The editor says:
AT the north we come close to- hav-
ing ideal theories in regard to the
negro. We preach the principles of
equal political, civil, economic and
educational opportunities. At the
south, however, theory is modified by
necessary practical considerations,
with the result that the actual treat
ment of the negro is better there than
at the north. In making this state
ment, we have in mind, of course,
simply those northern localities in
which the race problem is actual. A
few hundred negroes in city of l0,-
600 inhabitants do not constitute a
problem, as a rule, and the white Cit
zens deserve no credit for letting their
black fellows alone. But suppose that
a preponderating majority of negroes
should immigrate into Michigan or
Ohio or New York, is it to be inferred
that these northern states would con-
tinue to condemn negro disfranchise-
ment? Would they welcome negro
governors and mayors, negro legis-
lators and city councils?"

MONEY AGAINST A HUMAN LIFE.
From the savannah News.


The case of Hoch, the Chicago
"Bluebeard, " it seems, turned on a
consideration of dollars and cents,
not on right and justice. A sum of
money was needed to pay the expenses
of further proceedings in the HOch
case; if that sum were not forthcoming
the man would be executed. Happily
for Hoch the money was raised and he
received new lease on life. If the
money had not been ''dug up" from
somewhere Hoch would now be dead
man. Thus fees and expenses were
set against human life.

The New York Times says that if it
had been a white man instead of a

the Emperor would have sent him a

which sounds just about as absurd as
some other opinions of that paper re-

ATHLETES realize the Importance Of
keeping in good bodily trim.
The digestion must be good, the cir
culation perfect, sleep regular and
enough of it.
If the slightest catarrhal condition
of lungs or stomach is allowed to re-
main, neither digestion nor sleep will
be strength-sustaining.
Those who lead very active ives, like
athletes, with good muscular development,
find the spring months especially trying.
Athletes every where praise Peruna
because they, of all men, appreciate
the value of tonic that dispels phys
zeal depression.
The vocation of some men may allow
them to endure the depressing feelings IT,
cident to spring weather, but the athlete
must never allow himself to get "under e
weather"
He must keep in the "pink of condi-
ton" all the time.
In order to do this he must avail
himself of spring tonic upon which
he can rely.
Therefore Athletes are especially friend
iy toward Peruna.
Peruna never fails them.

edy in Chinese life is expected to occur

Among the passengers Is a Chinese
girl, Yuen Ho, who was recently saved
by Miss Cameron of the Presbyterian
mission, from life Of shame, to which
she had been assigned. Quong Hal, a
highlander, who had paid good price
for the girl, was greatly enraged, and
lay in wait for her several times, but
Miss Cameron's vigilance foiled him.
Finally the girls plea to be sent back
to China was granted.
On the steamer Thursday, just before
sailing Yuen Ho received by messenger
q package of sweetmeats. She seemed
greatly pleased.
When Miss Cameron reached the mis-

Woman Says: Limit Number
of Children.
MISS C0X'S DECLARATION
Causes Storm of Discussion in woman's
Meeting-Would Limit Children
According to the Means of
Parents.

New York, Nov. 1s.--New York wo-
men are agitated over the declaration
of Miss Cox of Buffalo at the meeting
of the society for Political Study in
Genealogical Hall that the Legislature
ought to limit the number Of children
according to the means of the parents.
The discussion started with this query
by Mrs. Sallie Morris Cory:
'Who would want to pay taxes for
children who should never have been
brought into the worlds Why should
the thrifty pay for the shiftlessf These
shiftIess persons marry and bring child
into the world every year-for Others
TO take care OF and educate"
Then Mrs. Cory added:
"Tm not 50 unchristian as to say that
once child is in the world it should
not be cared for, but just as long as
taxpayers pay for expensive play
grounds, etc. the children of the poor
will increase like rabbits in burTow.
The better class cannot afford to have
SO many children, for they have too
much to pay in taxes to support sucn
families as the thoughtless poor. bring
into the world No wonder reformator-
les and houses Of refuge are filed
Mrs John III. Judge, president Of the
society, said: Il must make an appeal
for the poor children because we never
know when there viii be a genius or
a President among them.p
Mrs. Lille Devereaux Blake, president
of the City Mothers club, said: There
should not be one law for man and
another for a woman Ii a girl goes
wrong she should have a chance. Incor-
rigible women should be segregated, as
they are in all European countries, but
! should think you would hnve to do the
same with the men"
As it is now, any woman on the
streets in this city is liable to be spoken
to by strange and unwelome men, came
from Mrs. Belle Gray Tailor, vice presi-
dent OF Minerva
We'll, | should like to give the wo-
men a chance. | would be willing to
rub shoulders, take the hand of such
a sister, ride on the cars with her, and
live in the same apartment to help her,"
said Mrs. Belle di Rivera.
Mrs. Frank PrindIe, one OF the officers,
exclaimed In some heat
Every woman should carry pistol
to protect herself, and if addressed BY
q strange man who forces his attentions
upon her, shoot him, not to Kill him,
OF course
Applause followed this declaration.
10 statement BY Lille Ieyereaux
Blake that every pretty woman has the
danger Of being accosted BY men on
the street, Mrs. Cory said with smile:
4 must be pretty homely then. I
never had that happen to me"
As Mrs. Cory is eomely matron and
not at all homely, this bit of repartee
caused general smile.
