Of the young women to be formally pre-
sented to society at Washington this
winter. The frequent reference to Miss
Ethel Roosevelt. as a debutante Of the
season Of 1906-07 lis entirely dispelled
by the positive assurance that Miss
Roosevelt will return to her books this
fall and leave formal gaiety for girls
who have passed beyond their 18th year,
as she has not. The same is announced
of Miss Celia May, her intimate friend.
who is her senior by few months. The
White House will not see another debut
party for daughter Of President
ROOSEVELT until probably the spring Of
1903. The only cabinet debutante will
be Erma Shaw, the younger daughter
of the secretary Of the treasury, who
spent last winter in Paris, pursuing her
studies, accompanied By her elder sis
ter, who entered society two years ago.

How About the President7

Republicans and practically told them
that they might 60 to the devil in New

con6ne their efforts to carrying Kent and

BY the national people" Of course,
Senator Alice meant, first, the admins
tration Of President Roosevelt and next,
the Republican National Committee, Of
which his boss and patron j. Edward
Addicls, with whom he pretended to be
az outs, in order TO deceive the President,
is the member from Delaware. But is
President Roosevelt with him ?
That President Roosevelt was with
him for awhile is not to be doubted. After
Alice had gotten off his flake fight with
AddiclSs, for the purpose Of appeasing
the Presidents disgust at the political
coruptionist, he was received with high
favor at the White House. The Federal
patronage in this State was given TO him
unreservedly, for the purpose Of Strength
ening' the Republican party Of Delaware
and restoring harmony between the two
factions. Immediately Alice applied the
Federal patronage to the purpose Of
strengthening the Union Republican fac
tion, and building up political machine
which might capture a clear majority OF
the next Legislature and send Alice and
Addcks to the Senate He fooled the
President until all the Federal positions
of any value bad been disposed Of and
then he threw of the mask and defantly
informed the Regular Republicans that
harmony is impossible except at the price
of their absolute submission.
Now Senator Alice declares that the
Irrational people including the Presi
dent Of the United States are with us,

The Neero and Politics.

"The future Of the negro lies in his
economic religious and moral develop
ment. rather than in politics, said Booker
T. Washington, president Of Tuskegee
Institute, in recent address. And
Booker H. Washington is sufficiently
familiar with the negro problem to know
what he is talking about.
In the extreme Southern States this
question has been squarely settled by de-
priving the great bulk Of the negroes of
the privilege OF suffrage In those States
where the negro population is sparse the
problem does not appeal But in States
like Delaware and Maryland where they
are sufficiently numerous TO make them
balance Of power between the two lead
ing political parties, the negro problem
ever presents itself in connection with the
influence of negroes upon politics and the
influence of politics upon negroes
Looking back over the nearly four dec
AIDES during which negroes have enjoyed
the franchise in Delaware, and what may
he said of their material progress and de-
vcopment during that time How
have they benefited through the pos
session of the privilege of voting
Today the great bulk of the negro vote
in Delaware is tho political chattel of
Republican politicians No real develop
ment along practical lines that the negro
of Delaware may be said TO have made is
attributable in the remotest degree to
his possession OF the ballot The negro
vote, from the first, has been hlindly,
unrcasonably Republican regardless of
the issues between the two parties, and in
recent years the fierce fight of the Repub-
lican factions has made It corrupt Now
it is almost solidly Union Republican
because that faction has bought IT,
Whether the material interests of the
negroes of Delaware would have been
advanced to a greater degree without tho
enjoyment of the franchise is matter OF
conjecture. But who can show that they
have been advanced in amy dis cenibl,

How to Fool a Lazy Live
with Artificial Exercise

F VERY serious Sickness has
Il small beginning.
And, in nine cases out Of
LIZ ten that small beginning is
made in the Bowels.
Indigestion is the beginning Of most
diseases.
1t paves the way for all others.
Lack Of exercise, hasty eating, improper
food, are Its first causes.
Laziness, and postponement, permits it
to grow into Chronic Constipation, which
means lifelong Discomfort.
II isn't necessary to be sick-a-bed, you
know. in order to be mighty uncom-
Portable.
Even slight indigestion affects the
nerves, dulls the mind and obscures the
merry sunshine Of Life.
And, Indigestion once started, grows
fast, corodes temperament, and discounts
happiness, good cheer, capacity.
1t does that long before it puts you on
the Sick list.
Every thinking Doctor knows why.
Professor Rand knew Il.
That's why he framed up for students
his famous formula for Happiness, viz:
"Trust in God, and keep your Bowels
OPEN"
The Bowels need adjustment from time
to time, just like a clock, or a watch.
No Good time is humanity possible
without this.
And, the time to adjust the watch is
not when II has run down, nor when the
main spring is broken, but at the very
minute adjustments discovered necessary.
The time to adjust the Bowels is not
merely when your Head Aches, when your
Liver is Sick, your Stomach in Revolt. and
Natures Food Process retarded for a
hours or longer.
The proper time 10 adjust them is the
very minute you suspect they need adjust
ment.
