ATA MEETING of the republican city
central committee in Richmond yester
day the question Of eliminating the col
Ored vote entirely from the party was
discussed. 1t was held that the negro
vote keeps hundreds of white democrats
from rallying to the party. Why, Mr..
Agnew, when he was chairman of The
State committee, uied the oily white
plan but he WAS frowned upon by the
Washington administration which gave
him no support, and those who again at
Sempt il will meet with similar treatment
from Washington.

SATURDAY EVENING. SEPT. 10, 1906.

Ir Is customary for republican con-
yentions, state and national, to putin their
platforms this statement: owe main
tain that the prosperous condition OF the
country is due to the wise revenue legl'-
lation of the republican congress. .
This means the robber tariff, il il means
anything. Bat when y comes to stat
ing the cause of our prosperity to
British audiences-where the Irish
Americans are supposed TO be most
despsed--lhey say, as Ambassador
Reid did in his Fourth of July speech
1.-THE prosperity of America is due to
gold". Both of these propositions are
deliberately false. The prosperity OF
this country is due to free trade among
the states, resulting from the union
of these States in zOllyerein. This
yery fact was declared in the re
publican platform of 1860, ard endorsed
by Abraham Lincoln, the first republl'
can president. 1--WE declare" said
the republican national convention oil
1860. chat TO the union OF the States
this nation owes its unprecedented in
crease in population, its surprising de-
velopmeut Of material resources, its rapid
augmentation of wealth, its happiness
at home and its honor abroad" Ihe
fact is that a republican convention
never told the truth but once; and that
was when it had no political power, no
favors to distribute, no Doodle 10 lis
Golfers. As soon as it got power it be
gan prevaricaliDg. Neither to the gold
standard nor to the protective tariff, but
to the union of these States and the
energy of the people does this country
owe its progress, prosperity and wealth.
And under republican rule these have
been made the bases of the trusts, of mil
Iionaires and billionaires and paupers.

The Boy Santa Claus
F 0rg0G
By s. E. hiser

A little lame boy used to live in a house
That Santa Claus passed by
When he hurried through here on his Journey
last year,
And | often have wondered why:
For the little lame boy had no father, you
know,
And his face was so thin and so white
That the saint, | should think, would have
wanted to go
To pay him a visit that night.
When l looked at the gifts that old Santa
had brought
l was never 50 proud or 50 glad;
But whenever l thought of the boy he forgot
1t somehow kept making me sad:
For the little lame boy was a good little bow
And l couldn't help wondering why,
If the ones that are best deserve more than
the rest,
Good Santa Claus passed him by.
l took him some turkey and cookies and toys
And it made him SO glad that he cried,
And all day kept thinking of lame little boys,
And felt kind of choky inside
But l dreamed the most beautiful dream
that night
About bright angel that came
And sat ON my bed and was dressed all in
white
And sang of a boy who was lame.
The little lame boy isn't here any more.
And l guess that up in the sky
The Santa Claus there will always take care
To not go passing him by,
And all of the toys that boys ever had
Wouldn't make me so glad as the thought
That l made the poor little lame boy glad
When Santa, somehow, forgot.
