CLUB FESTIVAL
OPENS TONIGHT
AT THE PALACE
BY SALLY SHARP.


Like rose garden, with the roses all
abloom and softly breathing, is the
white and gold ballroom of the Palace,
with it's marble halls without the con-
servatory and the maple rooms, heavy
with incense, arrayed in the glory of
the temple of Semiramis; for tonight
tonight. at nine by the Ferry clock,
the California Club festival will be on.
At the floral procession of thirty
two dainty little maids will start things
a-going, and right here, l beg to re-
quest that susceptible young men-and
old ones, too, who still retain the love
habit-be instructed to keep out" lest
indeed they come prepared to be lured-
into buying a nosegay.
Following this Circe ceremony will
come the rest of the participants, the
Egyptian priests, priestesses, Mrs. Jar
ley's wax works (rejuvenated), over
grown babies, dancing girls from the
Turkish booth, incense swingers, punch
bearers (bless em) and all the other
things and people that are still a deep
dark secret.
Besides all these bewildering joys
the Music Section of the club. under
Mrs John d. Sibley's direction. will
present five finished artists in sole
work, the details appearing in yester-
days issue.
A fine segment of the Bohemian Club
members will officiate in the offices OF
the Egyptian temple, with blessed old
Uncle George Bromley high priest.
Remember, good friends, this affair is
emphatically no hold-up"-Change
Back shall prevail, and a thousand
fold is offered for your sheckels.
Entrance fee, % cents; season ticket
rs cents.
You can't afford to miss that flora
rocessional-unless you're one of those
susceptible chaps that's liable to lose
your heart. That's different.
There will be things to do that viii
keep you merry for month.

Broke the Spell.

A small group or men and women
stood before Michael Angeles IA
nous statue of Moses, in the Church
Of San Pietro in Vincoli at Rome.
There was not an artist among the
number, yet as they gazed on the won
derful masterpiece which represents
Moses as on the point of springing
from his seat in indignation at the
idolatry of the Jews all were silent
in admiration.
A newcomer joined the group, lit
tie, thin man with the spiritual ex-
preston of one who has prayed and
tasted much. The clerical cut OF his
clothes proclaimed his calling. Max.
ing his way to the front of the group
he gazed for moment, then turning
to the man at his side, he announced
in shrill, childish voice:
81 jest bet old Moses could have
licked John L. Sullivan any day Look
at them arms-eh?"
The little crowd had silently left.
The spell had been broken.-Phila-

1t Is becoming more apparent
each day that the man who owns
the soil will rule the world. If this
be true, it is equally true that the
man who owns the soil must in a
measure own the man who has no
title to the soil. Industrial slavery
and lockouts must even confront
those who depend upon others en-
tirely for a livelihood. Notwith-
standing the American farmer is
the happiest man in our land, too
few of our people like to stick to
the farm. After we sustain our
selves out of our scant earnings we
have so little left and it is almost
impossible for us to lay aside for a
rainy day, and as result, old age
catches us unprepared. This con
dition could be easily avoided if
our young men and women would,
while they are in health and vigor,
quit the overcrowded cities and
take up their abode upon the farm.
There are good farming lands in
all parts of the country to be had
for mere trihe upon which any
energetic and shrewd person can
make for himself happy mainte-
nance. Such a course is recon-
mended to our young men and wo-
men who desire prosperity.

Russian Church Establishment

The chief procurator Of Russia, in a
report to the czar on the state of Rus
sian religion, states that there are 66,-
$50 churches in the empire. During
the last year S33 new places of wor-
ship were consecrated. In connection
with these churches there are 1868
monks and 36,146 nuns. There are g.
050 head priests and 43,743 ordinary
Triests. These. together with 5S,156
deacons and under deacons, make a
grand total, along with seven other
divisions, the figures of which are not
given exactly. of 10000 persons in
ufficial positions. A sum of nearly
96,000,000 was paid by the Russian
PEOPLE last year for the support Of
this vast organization.

quality of endurance and survival.
Endurance is one of the Negro s
remarkable qualities, and while his
changing conditions in America ap-
pear to take from him some oppor-
tunities which he formerly enioyed.
he readily applies himself to 9th
ers, which, if carefully selected
and industriously and ingeniously
followed, bring him greater salts
faction and profit than he before
enjoyed. The Negro is learning
that he must choose wisely and per-
form well. With this knowledge
thoroughly applied, he is succeed
ing in new lines. He has found an
opening in literature, the very
highest branch of civilized attain
ment. which has surprised himself.
Close behind this is following his
success in music. AS he improves
in the classics and in the arts. he
appears to find greater industrial
tolerance. Branches of business
requiring particular ingenuity or
efficiency are being undertaken
with invariable success. 1t is there
fore being learned that the main
springs of the colored American S
future progress are superior abiI-
ity, discriminating judgment and
tireless energy, and that with these
attributes the growth of his oppor-
tunities will not halt before the
prejudices of the present day.

CHARACTER OF AARON BURR
Man Of Great Force But Lacking ir
Moral Attributes.

moral ATTRIBUTES.
Most people agree that from the
time Alexander Hamilton fell in the
pistol duel at Weehawken, N. j.,
Aaron Burr was doomed to an immor-
tality Of !nfamy. For, according to
one recent critic, both as a man and
as politician he was bad, however
successful his notwithstanding
friends-who have begun a crusade
to -rehabilitate him in the esteem of
the public-may be in convincing the
world that he did not plot to disrupt
the American union. There are too
many documents abroad providing
Burr to have been a singulsrly bad
man to make it possible even to deny
his utter lack of character"
AS early as 1856, when he was a
baby Of only thirteen months, his own
mother wrote this significant descrip-
tion of him: Aaron is a little dirty,
noisy boy. He begins to talk little;
is very sly and mischievous. He has
more sprightliness than Sally, his sis
ter, and most say he is handsome hut
not so good-tempered. He is very
resolute and requires good governor
to bring him to terms" That very
good governor. his father, who might
have made such a difference in the
life OF tho lad, was only few months
later taken out of the world. His
mother also soon died.
However, despite all that has been
written of the mans shortcomings,
there was in his heart space for very
beautiful devotion to his daughter
Theodosia. No more exquisite fam
lily letters may be found anywhere
than those which passed between the
two.

because of my action and especial
ly some colored people, but they
forget that the color line is tightly
drawn by member of the Negro
race right here in Wichita.
They scream with indignation
if white man in business of any
kind takes such action to protect
his interest, but they overlook the
fact that there is a barbershop in
this city that is run by a colored
man and he refuses to accommodate
members of his race.
Il told one of the ge its who
called on me in regard to this mat
ter that if he would take Prof.
Washington get a shave and a
hair cut there, then ] would make
room for Prof. Washington free of
charge.
The gent left and never return
ed. NV motto is. Let the Negro
cease to draw the color line on
members of his race for pecuniary
profits and then he will have q
howl coming should the white man
do so, but SO long as member of
the Negro race draws the color line
against their own race, how dare
them to say a word about IA white
man doing So"
To the above story it would seem
to some people that the Hotel pro-
prietor was justifiable in denying
Prof. Washington accommodation.
He attempts to vindicate himself
by referring to "a member of the
Negro race in business who draws
the color line against his own peo-
pie. We fail to see the philosophy
in his argument that he is justi-
fled in refusing accommodation for
a member of the Negro race SIM
ply because some one else does so.
There is only one way to break
down color prejudice from a bust
ness standpoint and that is for all
to recognize the 'mighty.dollar" no
matter when and where or who
presents it.

THE GROWTH OF OPPORTUN
ITY. -

No race is entirely hopeless in
any part of the world. Wherever
men find themselves located and
whatever their environment. if
they are free men, there is always
chance to improve their condi-
tions. But the opportunity for i'm
provement is not the same with all
men. Neither may one class of
men expect to follow exactly in the
footsteps of another class who have
preceded them, for opportunities
differ widely according to classes
md the character of the times
through which the world or the ma
ton is now passing. The average
white American of intelligence and
mercy is possessed of vast oppor-
tunities to make life a success and
pleasure. In this respect he is
better off at present than his fore
fathers were. when from newer
conditions, they were hewing out a
course for themselves and the ma
ton. With all portions of vast
country open to settlement and all
communities, old or new. present
ing almost unrestricted commercial
and industrial openings, it seems
that the opportunities of the aver
age American for the promotion of
successful enterprises are almost
imitless. Within these same boun-
daries and in contact with these
same environments, the colored
American has to contemplate and
apply himself to particular chan
nels which require more than nat
lral preference or personal desire
to insure that success which brings
the rightful measure of gratifica-
tion and profit. for the restrictions
and limits of racial prejudice re-
quire them to exercise superior
judgment and wit in the selection
and pursuing of avocations in
which their financial welfare will
not necessarily be sacrificed or
thwarted. But although their op-
portunities are thus limited, the
necessity for careful study and Sc
lection of avocations and for the
application of superior judgment
and ability to those chosen, is the
one great natural characteristic
which will cause the Negroes op-
portunities to grow and increase,
slowly, gradually, but surely, until
finally the restrictions of the pres
ent day shall be entirely overcome.
All history helps to prove that ra-
cial oppression rebounds to the
final benefit of the race oppressed,
if the race oppressed possesses the

specIsl to The Republican.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Dec. 20.-The case
of Hawkes. against McCollum was de-
cided in the United States land office
today in favor of the defendant. 1t was
a ease from Albany county, wherein
Mr.. Hawkes., a resident upon Fish
creek, south of Tie Siding, sought to
secure the cancellation of the home
stead entry made in that vicinity in
July, 1903, by Herman E. McCollum.
In effect, the register n receiver
hold that the absence of a claimant
from a homestead entry for brief per
iods for the purpose of making a liv-
ing does not nullify the homestead en-
try. provided the wife resides upon the
land during such absences. 1t is also
held that the fact of voting elsewhere
does not of itself vitiate an entry.
While it may be regarded as strong pre-
sumptive evidence, yet it is not con-
elusive in the face of a contrary show
ing.
The testimony in this cas- was TAX
en- before Commissioner j. H. Symons
of Laramie about two weeks ago. 1t
covered 100 typewriter pages. The
attorneys in the ease were 7. H. Glib
son for the contestant and Arnold and
Groesbeck for the contestee. Every
point was stubbornly contested.
If Mr.. Hawkes. desires to do so, he
may now appeal to the commissioner
