The Emmett crowd was royalty
treated. Entertainment was provld-
ed in the handsome new Commercial
Club rooms, and the hospitality of
the Mountainhome people was
broad and liberal. Nothing was
left undone for the comfort of the
guests, and the Emmett people, who
are some pumpkins in the entertain
ing line themselves, take off their
hats to the home of the Dudes.

THE LEAD IN VOT-

This week marks quite a change
in the Grand Voting Contest,
Miss Fanny Fitzgerald taking the
lead with Miss Simmons a close
second, and Mrs. G. c. Matthews
not far behind in third place.
Mrs. Ada Booth who promised to
make such a splendid race, is
forced to retire from the Contest
on account of an extended bust
ness trip to her home in the East,
to which place she will depart on
July 2Ist. She gave Miss Sim
mons 100 votes. Mrs. +. Walker
of Anaconda also retired in favor
of Miss Simmons, who, she says,
is an old Anaconda girl, and if no
one from that place is entered the
Anaconda folk will back her to
win. There will, however, be sew
eral more entries before the 18th
but the present contestants have
the advantage in procuring a good
lead.

Mr.. Daniel Murray, one of the
assistant librarians of Congress, is
doing a great work for the race in
the preparation of an Afro-Ameri-
can photography. He finds that
more than 5000 different books
have been written by colored men
and that colored men have COM

Hon. Ralph w. Tyler, the new
Auditor for the Navy Department,
has made an innovation which is
very pleasing to the messengers in
Ih.;s bureau, who have done f1unkey
work without compensation. For
many years it has been the custom
for the messengers to shave the
Auditor, Duputy Auditor, and
chiefs of divisions, and shine their
shoes. Believing that the messen-
gers time should be given wholly
to their official duties, he called
them before him and informed
them that they could cut out the
shaving and shining stunt, as they
would not be allowed in the future
to spend government time in per
sonal service for the heads of tn
office.

WASHINGTON LETTER

The first appeal taken by the
under the law enacted
by the last Congress giving the
United States the right to appeal
in certain classes of criminal cases,
which was docketed in the Su-
preme Court recently, will deter
mine whether the Federal govern
ment under the Fourteenth Amend
ment has the right to punish lynch
ers where the State authorities fail
to act.
The appeal, which is in the case
of Robert Powell, grew out OF the
action of a mob at Huntsville,
Ala, in September, 1904, in storm
ing the County Jail, which was
guarded by the Sheriff's deputies
aud a whole company of the Ala
bama National Guard, and taking
Horace Naples, a colored man
charged with the murder of a
white farmer, from the structure
and hanging him in the Court
House yard.

of the Treasury, the silver tongued

Sensational dispatches were sent
to various daily newspapers OF the
country recently, stating that Cy-
rus Field Adams, Assistant Regis
trar of the Treasury, was mas
querading as a white man" The
dispatch carried its own retutatlon
when it named a number OF ma
Itional and local "colored" organi-
cations with which Mr.. Adams is
! connected. To those who are per
sonally acquainted with Mr.. Ad-
ans and even the thousands who
have any knowledge of his career
the charge is ridiculous, for they
know that he has practically sPen
his whole life for the uplifting o
the race. While yet in his teen
he was appointed teacher in tn
Colole ed public schools of Louis

editor of The Bulletin, a pape
