The colored voter must 10 his own
sinking.
Tnis theme will be discussed at "a
meeting Of colored voters which will
b. held this evening at the headquar-
tiers of the John Brown Political Asso-
oiation, at Sixteenth and Walnut
streets. The meeting will be under
the auspices of the association, which
has been interested, for some time, in
a movement the object of which is to
encourage the negroes to independent
thinking on political matters.
The principal speaker at tonight's
meeting will be DIR. Henderson, a col
ored man, who formerly lived in Will
mington. He is from Virginia, but
during the past few years has been
travelling in Pennsylvania and study
ing the conditions of the negro in that
State. The subject of his address will
be. "The negro of this State must
provide his own political ideas for
voting.
City Councilman Thomas K. Postles
is one of the principal factors in this
association and takes an active part in
its deliberations. 1t is likely that he
will make an address at the meeting
tonight Elijah Russ is president of
the association and T.. ID. Spencer is
secretary.
An effort was made today to secure "a
full attendance at the meeting, and it
is expected that people will be there
from the lower part of the State, as
well as from Wilmington, as the mem
bership of the association is not con-
fined to the city.
The organization will, it is under
stood, be factor in the campaign this
year. just what move it will make
has not been definitely determined, but
it is understood to be its purpose to
have its members stand together in
voting. Should they do this, in the
event of a repetition of history-with
two Republican parties in the arena
it will devolve upon the members to
decide which they will follow, should
they remain in the Republican ranks,
but it is intimated that they may vote
entirely independent of either the Re
publican or Democratic party. Should
the Republican factions succeed in
getting together before the election
which is not regrded as probable-it is
likely that they will have to take this
organization into consideration before
matters can be adjusted, for the asso-
citation, it is understood, will demand
full recognition before atfiliating with
any party.
Some of the members claim that this
recognition has not been accorded
them in the past. 1t is sometimes
mentioned to them that Councilman
Postles, one of their number, holds a
public Office, but they contend that he
was elected by the people, through
the efforts of himself and his political
friends and that the Office was not
gift from the Republican party. They
want recognition when it comes to a
distribution of appointive offices, either
IN city, State or nation, and it is be-
lleved that unless some agreement to
this effect is reached, they will vote
INDEPENDENTLY on election day.

CELEBRATION At PRESTON
Idaho Town Had Grand Parade and
an Interesting Pro-
gramme.

Preston, Ida. July 6.-The Fourth of
July celebration was one of the most
successful Preston has had for years.
There were probably more people in town
than ever before. At o'clock in the
morning the parade took place. 1t was
most credible TO those who got up the
floats. At the programme which took
place Immediately after the parade Hon.
Alfred Bulge delivered the grafton of
the day while Joseph Davis read the Dec
laration of Independence. The afternoon
was occupied by ball games, races. etc.
The ball game between the fats and leans
was very comical. The final score was
10 to IA in favor of the leans. Perhaps the
most interesting part of the days pro-
gramme was the ball game between Mill
vile and Preston, which was played with
a score of 10 to in favor of Preston. In
the evening there were fireworks. after
which all repaired to Hobbs hall and the
academy and enjoyed themselves in the
dance. AS far as has been learned there
were no serious accidents as a result of
the days celebration. 1t should also be
stated that the celebration was gotten up
under the auspices of the Preston Com
mercia1 club.
The local improvement of the Preston
Commercial club will meet today to elect
delegates to meet with the county COM
missioners at Malad at their next meet
ing for the purpose of recommending and
urging the building of a bridge across
Bear river this summer. The delegates
will urge that the bridge be built on a
line due west from the four central cor
ners of the town.
Bishop NJ. W. Pratt is reported as very
seriously i'll.
Mrs. Vaughan, while housekeeping last
week. met with the misfortune of falling
and breaking her arm at the wrist. At
last reports the injured member was i'm
proving nicely.
The manner in which the parade COM
mittee selected their queen for the Fourth
celebration was exciting and interesting
as well as profitable. Several candidates
were put up and voted upon. The votes
cost / cent each. Miss Marinda Larson
lead the contest until the last day of the
voting when Miss Klea Hale jumped into
the lead At the close of the voting Miss
Hale was declared elected, having some
thing over 1900 votes oppos tie her name.
Miss Larson followed next with 5000.
Miss Harriet Luthy and Florence Go
lightly were next in order with over 1000
votes each to their credit.

PREMIER VISITS
THE PRESIDENT
Sir Joseph Ward of New Zea-
land Talks of Reciprocity
With Roosevelt.
DERIVES LITTLE COMFORT
BUSINESS PLAN PROPOSED BY
SIR JOSEPH.

oyster Bay, July 6.-When Sir Jo-
seph Ward, new premier of New
Zealand, stepped from the train at
Oyster Bay today TO keep a luncheon
engagement with President Roosevelt
he frankly said the thing nearest his
heart in America was the development
of a reciprocity treaty between New
Zealand and the United States. When
Sir Joseph returned to the station two
hours later, having fulfilled his lunch
con engagement, he remarked:
Reciprocity is not an easy thing to
bring about in this country
Keeping Close Mouth.
Sir Joseph, adhering to the rules he
had laid down for himself in his jour-
ney around the world, declined to dis
euss the exchange of ideas between
himself and President Roosevelt.
MY hearty belief in your president
as a statesmen of strength, breadth
and courage" he said. "has been most

at Oyster Bay that he intended dis

Proposed Concessions.
New Zealand" he said, sis ready
to make a universal ten per cent re-
ductiOn in her tariff to the United
States in return for like concession,
and is prepared to make such treaty
binding without action on the part of
the New Zealand parliament. She now
grants this reduction to Great Britain
and would be glad to so do to the
United States.
IF this is too broad a proposition
we would be glad to make this reduc-
ton on specific articles which each ma

The premier instanced wool and gum

and said what New Zealand wants is
certain grades of pine lumber, timed
salmon, and many kinds of manufact-

PUNCH HOLES IN
TAGGART' s HIDE
Governor of indiana Makes
Statement Regarding the
Gambling Cases.
NEW FACTS BROUGHT OUT
TALK ALSO MADE BY ATTORNEY
GENERAL.

Winona Lake. Ind. July Ex-Governor
Hanly, at whose command the raid on
the casinos at French Lick and West
Baden were made, today made state
ment in which he says:
I'VE shall now learn whether the
management of the French Lick
Springs Hotel company and the West
Baden Hotel company is above the law.
The issue is not between the managers
of these companies and me. Ii is be-
tween them and far greater and more
enduring power-between them and the
law. The statement of Mr.. Thomas
Taggart that the French Lick Springs
Hotel company has not and will not
tolerate gambling in its premises, in the
light of recent developments and evil
dence in the possession of the state,
scarcely rises to the force and dignity
of a jest.
Found on the Premises.
IF his statement is true, what is the
meaning of the carload of costly para
phernalia taken from the premises of
the hotel company? He admits him.
self that gambling has existed. His
counsel yesterday, in open court, agreed
that gambling should not be permitted
when the cases are to be heard. Where
did he find this new power to stop it.
The hotel safe itself has been used for
weeks nightly as a place of safe keep
ing for the money earned by the casino.
The casino building itself did not cost
more than $4,000. What legitimate
purpose or use could justify the pay
ment of the great sum, said to be $50 900
annually, by the operator of the casino
for his commission.
Tageart Had the Power.
THE truth is that Mr.. Taggart, as
manager of the hotel company, has at
no time desired anything in connection
with the casino that has not been grant
ed by its operator. On special days
like that when the members of the Ma
tiOnal Editorial association visited
French Lick, he had the power to cause
the suspension of gambling in the ca
sino during the whole time of their visit
and it was actually closed except as to
the lower floor where the slot machines
were allowed TO run. Mr.. Taggart will
not be able TO fool either the people of
Indiana or deceive the people of this
country in this matter. l believe the
suits filed by Attorney General Miller
TO be we'll founded. If, for any reason.
the law is inadequate as now written.
/ shall appeal to the people of the state
without regard to their party affilia-
tions to elect a general assembly in
November that will enact a law cloth
ing the executive with such authority
as will enable him to reach such con-
ditions.'

CONTEMPT OF COURT.
Kansas City, kan., Mayor Fined ST.
