NEGRO BISHOP
 HOMEWARD BOUND

New York, Nov 16.-Bishop s. D. Ferguson, the first and only negro bishop of the Episcopal church, who recently came into notoriety through dining with Bishop Potter of New York during the Richmond Episcopal conference, sailed from New York to- day for England. He will spend short time in London. where he will be received by the dignitaries of the established church, and will then pro- ceed to his bishopric at Monrovia, West Liberia.
 Bishop Ferguson was consecrated in Grace church, this city, tWenty-tWo years ago, Bishop Potter and four oth- CT white bishops performing the rite of consecration. Since that time the famous New York church dignitary has been firm friend of his dark skinned brother. Bishop Ferguson in sisted that there was nothing strange or unusual in the fact that he had dined with Bishop Potter, and declar- ed that he had been his guest at din- ner many times previous to the Rich mond incident.

welt, who considers that the constltu- tior~ makers have usurped the func- tions of legislators Before signing the document the president made ii clear that there were many features which did not meet with his personal approval, but that he regarded it as his official duty to sign the document, since it conformed to the provisions of the enabling act.
 Oklahoma is the first state south of the line defined by the Missouri compromise to be admitted into the Union in fortyfour years. It is typica1ly neither a distinctively south- ern or western state, while possess ing many of the attributes of both. That 1t is. for the present at least. politically aligned with the Democrat ic states of the Solid South has been shown in both the election of dele gates to the constitutional convention and in the recent election of state officers.
 Under the prohibition clause of the constitution. which was passed upon favorably by the voters, Oklahoma en- ters the Union as a "dry" state. h. dian Territory has long been arid, by 1 fiat of the government and for the protection of the Indians. Prohibition will now be extended over what is known as Oklahoma Territory, and with Kansas. which adjoins Oklahoma on the north, will make the largest "dry" territory in the country. Un-
 der the prohibition clause is a provis- ion for liquor dispensary for every town of 1000 or over ill the new state. There are A of these towns, 21 being in Oklahoma and 23 in In-
 dian Territory.

WESTERN WATER
 WAYS MEETING

Wichita. Kan. Nov 16.-Delegates from leading commercial bodies, traf- fife bureaus and civic organizations in nearly all the states and territories west of the Missouri are taking part in the inland convention in Wichita to- day. Delegations are here from all the larger inland cities of the South west the object of the gathering being for the purpose of working against appropriations for so-called navigable streams which are incapable of deyel opment as practical waterways. It is alleged that many of these appropri- ations are asked for by communities which have no actual natural oppor- tunities for waterway transportation, but which hope to make purely arti- fcial showing for the purpose of .se- curing railway freight advantages ov- CT inland cities, based on alleged wat CT competition.
 Plans for ending this abuse are be- ing discussed by the delegates at to- days convention. Resolutions will be
 passed asking that congress avoid appropriations for waterways when actual transportation of freight on such waterways is not practicable. It is cOntended that in a great many cases railroad rates are based on water competition that is purely the oretical As case in point, it is alleged that not for many years has car of flour been shipped by water from Minneapolis to Galveston, yet this imaginary water competition gives the gulf city lower rate on flour from Minneapolis. hauled entire fly by rail. than is given Dallas, Fort Worth and other inland cities of Tex as, despite the fact that the flour passes through these cities en route to Galveston.
 The convention will petition con- gross to amend the interstate com merce law in such way as to alley fate the present freight rate discrim- nations against inland cities, brought about by alleged water competition which does not exist The delegates announce themselves in favor of all practical waterways Improvements, but that they are opposed to the many chimerical schemes now being favor ed through the influence of certain congressman.
 It is likely that a permanent Inland Communities congress will be organiz ed as a result of the present conven- ! tion having for it's object a square deal'' for the inland cities and the es- tablishment of equitable freight rates and the elimination of mythical water competition. It is believed by it's pro- motors that such an association can exercise healthy influence in Wash ington when congress is engaged in

Pleasures OF the Pcnitentidry.


Il gave such talk to client of
mine not long ago on the pleasant
features Of prison life," said a prom
inent local attorney recently, that l
actually got to thinking for a little
while it would be a great lark to
spend few weeks in some good pen
itentiary.
"You see, the fellow was guilty
and l knew it. l didn't see how it
would be possible to clear him, and
| knew that he would get lighter
sentece by pleading guilty. But had
job trying to talk him into chang
ing his plea to guilty. He said he
didn't think he would ever get re-
conciled to life in the penitentiary.
Il told him that of course there
was a certain amount of prejudice
against living in penitentiary, but
that it always struck me that it
would not be half so bad if a man
went With his mind made up to like
it.
" The regular hours ought to be
great thing for man. l told him,
and if you are at all sick you can fix
up some scheme to get out of hard
work. Then you are clear out of the
prosaic business affairs of the outer
world. You go to bed at night
knowing just what you will have to
do the next day, and no one can get
in where you are to modest you. You
won't get more than a couple of
years, and that will just give you
time to learn some good trade
"When l got through he decided
to plead guilty, and l believe he was
really looking forward to year or
two in the pen."

Dry.
(Sciected.)


The weary heat comes down IN a
sheet
And the morn flower drops its
head;
And the morning rack will never
come back
From the place where it has sped.
The poultry goes to the cool Of the
rose,
The cow to the oak trees shade;
And the garden fare holds on in de-
spair
To the dust that the sun has made.
The vines dry ridges are dusty
bridges
For the sunshine to walk On;
And soon we shall look on the bed of
the brook
To find that the brook is gone.
There are thunderheads asleep in
their beds
In shape of birds and beast,
But the breeze of the west will never
rest
Till it blows them away to the east.
But bravely we must return to the
dust
And stir the soil again;
Today may be dry as the meats in
the sky
