An Urgent Call

The calamity which befell San Fran
cisco affected the Anti-Saloon League.
Many of the churches were destroyed
and most of the constituency in the
churches either beggared or impover-
ished in the centers most able to sup
port the work of the League of Central
and Northern California, and on the day
after the earthquake DR.. l.. NJ Hartley
superintendent, who had been i'll for
months, passed to his eternal reward
Rev. r. w. Tener, formerly attorney
and superintendent of the Sacramento
district, has been called to headquarters
as acting superintendent. No superin-
tendent will be called until fall, and
Mr.. Tener has volunteered to serve until
that time without salary.
For year to come it will not only
in the greater part of the territory, but
even to collect anything on existing sub
scriptions, yet during the inevitable re-
organization attendant upon such ca
lamity, it is of the greatest Importance
that League organization be in the
ment and secure it's reflection in new
legislation.
The Northern and Central California
League, by Rev. r. W. Tener, it's acting
superintendent, and Rev. DR.. E. E.
Baker, it's president, have issued an ap-
peal to the friends and supporters of
the Anti-Saloon League throughout the
country The respective denominations
are helping their stricken churches; the
Young Mems Christian Association, the
Womans Christian Temperance Union
and similar organizations are helping
their own.
The Anti-Saloon League feels that to
allow the temperance cause to be set
back ten to fifteen years in California,
and the new San Francisco for lack OF
support at the critical moment would be
a national calamity. Therefore, after
careful consideration, it approves the
appeal of the Anti-Saloon League of
Central and Northern California, and
urges that friends and supporters OF
the League in every state and territory
send Immediately to their state head
quarters liberal special contributions for
the Anti-Saloon League work in Califor-
mia and San Francisco. This money will
be remitted direct from the state head
quarters to the National Treasurer and,
under the direction of the National
League, will be sent to the League au-
thorities in California.

it is wooded. Texas is much
pleasanter, to my mind, than
Kansas. 1t is rolling and it has
"home grown" trees. We cannot
brag on the apples, however. All
we get are shipped from the north.
Just now a huckster came to the
door with a bucket of fine looking
Ben Davis apples at twenty-five
cents peck-a small peck. That
is cheap. Irish potatoes are S1.25
a bushel. They are from the north
too, and very large. But Texas
can raise magnificent ounces and
plums.
The people are pleasant and
cordial, but / miss the old friends.
If have to stay home from church
here, no one misses me or asks if
I am sick or well. One is such an
atom in big city; but we can't
have all the good things in one
place. Everything is so very
different here that nothing seems
strange. We can tell when there
is going to be a change in the
weather by the way the telephone
wires hum. There are more than
hundred wires on the poles on
this street; if they just hum a soft
eolian melody the weather will be
fair; but when they howl like a
lost spirit, we might as we'll re-
plenish the wood pile and get out
our overcoats, for "norther" is
coming. Wishing all the friends
a merry Christmas, | am, as ever,
Yours, Sincerely.

From Dallas, Texas.

Dear Friends of Ironton: The post
mans whistle is always welcome
sound, but especially on Friday,
because that is the day he brings
me- the REGISTER. l read every
item of Ironton news with keen
interest, even the weather report,
for l have to imagine how cold it
is there. 1t has been like May all
this month. November was cold,
but for the past week we have had
no fire, except to cook with, and
sit with doors and windows open.
Roses are still blooming in the
front yard.
l do not know whether people
in general would call Dallas a
pretty city or not, but it is a city
Of pretty homes. There are no
skyscrapers, the tallest building is
nine stories. The houses are not
crowded together. Every dwell
ing has bit of lawn and garden
spot. is building up very fast.
We live in a new part Of the city
and four new houses have been
built within stones throw since
I came in September, and yester-
day the carpenters began another.
The street car service is good, and
great improvements are being
made now on the street by laying
the street car rails in cement.
One time friend from the South
visiting in Arcadia Valley criti-
ciaed the way people drove, say
ing, "They don't drive like that in
Texas; it is cruel to drive horse
SO fast" Well | never saw SO
much hard driving in all my life
as I have seen here. You expect
delivery boys to drive at reck-
less pace, but it does look odd to
see man 60 by with whole cord
of wood-yes, a cord by measure
ment-with two ordinary horses OF
mules on trot. Grand avenue is
a favorite drive, as well as the
street leading out to Oakland
cemetery, SO we see all sorts of
equipages, from the finest auto
mobiles and rubber-tired brough-
ans with liveried drivers to news
paper carts.
We have a fine public library,
which ] am enjoying.
The churches are all busy get
ting ready for the holidays. The
people of our Colonial Hill church
are holding a bazar down town
this week. All the ladies are busy
with cakes, pies, baked turkeys,
fried chicken and all the other
edibles that tempt hungry people.
If | colld follow inclination |
would be down there helping to
serve, but that is one Of the things
| can't do. So, because 1t Is a bit
lonesome here by myself, l take
the time to write this letter that
have been intending to write for
weeks.
Do like Texas? Well, / like
the climate now, thoagh do not
know how | shall like it next July.
We came down through Kansas
and Indian Territory, I did not

The Fault Was Theodore's.

FOE once, lHeOuOTC QlO JH6 rlSnC
thing when he dishonrably dis
charged the three companies of
negro infantry from the army, be-
cause the soldiers conspired to
protect the guilty in as dastardly
a crime as was ever conceived, be-
ing nothing less than precon-
certed sally of score of negro
troops from the barracks at dead
of night, with rifles of the United
States in their hands, to shoot
down Unfortunately the white
men, and even their women and
little babes Of Brownsville, Texas.
But the funnything about it is that
despite all his slobbery affection
for the black, the negro clubs of
the country have soured on Roose-
velt, "because' he Furnishes inno-
cent men for the crime of others" !"
In this connection, it seems to be
forgotten that there is scarcely a
doubt that every man in the three
companies was an accessory to the
foul murders committed, because
as the officers who Investigated re-
ported, there was plenty Of evil
dence to show collusion, that is,
that the negroes knew the guilty
men but refused to name them.
Such a stand is permissible, yea,
even commendable, in venial
affairs, but it doestnot hold as to
murder most foul.
But after all, the real offender
was not the troops, but Theodore
Roosevelt. The citizens of Browns
vile begged that the black troops
be not sent there. They became
active and urged their representa-
tiyes at Washington to prevent the
thing. They knew the negro, and
knew what he might be expected
to do when dressed in the brief
authority of uniform. The pro-
test really settled the matter
against Brownsville, for if there is
anything in which Roosevelt de-
lights, it is in showing the black
brother unto the man who objects.
In his bull-headed stubbornness
Roosevelt insisted that these troops
should be located at Brownsville
and nowhere else. Accordingly,
before the troops got there the
passions of both races had been
heated to the point of tragedy.
AS soon as the negroes reached the
town, they began jostling white
women and showing them from the
sidewalks. Thus began conditions
which eliminated in the foul night
numbering tour Of nearly a score
of organized black troops. Roose-
velt Is responsible for what hap
pened. If he does not know, he
can get plenty of people to tell
him, that the location of black
troops at Southern posts always
causes great friction if not actual
crime. There are several military
posts in the North that are near
towns where some women will ac-
cept the insults of drunken blacks
in uniforms as mere persilage.
Now, if his black brother turns
on him, after he has slebbered
over him so sloppily, he will get
exactly what is coming to him.

WHEN it became known last
week that the miners unions had
asked the companies for an in
crease in wages, considerable COM
ment was heard among all classes
of citizens in the Lead Belt. One
prominent merchant, who does
business on time payment basis,
remarked that the laborers would
either have to receive an increase
in wages in the near future or they
would be forced to leave the dis
trict. He said that his experience
had been when selling a laborer,
receiving from $3.50 to $500. per
day, S100 worth of goods on time
payments it took from fourteen to
eighteen months to get his money
and he did not get it then unless
the laborer was strictly honest and
practised the most rigid economy.
In view Of such arguments as the
above it is to be hoped that the
boys will receive an increase suf-
ficient to allow them just a few Of
the luxuries of life along with the

Of.Interest to Mothers.

There is one subject which al
ways interests mothers OF young
children, and that is how to treat
their coughs and colds, or to ward
off threatened attack of Group.
For this purpose we can recommend
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. II
always proves beneficial. In cases
Of Group it should be given as soon
as the croupy cough appears so as
to prevent the attack. Keep it at
hand ready for instant use. Many
mothers do so and 1t saves them
much uneasiness. For sale by Ar

THIS from an ultra Folk organ,

among those most friendly to the
Governor, take kindly to Governor
Folks advocacy of a law en-
powering the executive to remove
a duly elected county officer when
that officer fails to measure up to
the Governors idea of activity in
the performance of duty. The no.
ton seems to prevail that each

DAMAGE BY FROST.

Now that the weather has become
warm again and there has been oppor-
tunity to examine more thoroughly into
the effects of the recent cool snap, in
cluding the frost of Wednesday and
Thursday, it Is evident that the damage
was greatly exaggerated.
The frost of Thursday morning was
quite severe, and much cotton appear
ed to have been killed until well up In
the day. There Is no doubt of the fact
that a good deal of cotton actually was
killed; but then the damage was not
general or widespread. 1t amounted
to less anywhere than the usual thin
ming out process to follow a day or two
later.
There are reports Of a number of
farmers who plowed up and replanted
large fields and of others who made ar
rangements to do so, but who afterward
changed their minds on account Of the
very much improved condition Of what
had seemed to be the dead cotton.
Many garden vegetables such as to-
matoes, Irish potatoes and beans were
more or less injured but in very few
cases was there a complete loss, and
all the evidences seem to be that the
damage was not near so severe as II
appeared.
