BRAVE WHITE MEN SOUTH.

There are brave white men in the
South who would grant justice to
the black race. if the North would
lead and in no way can they be so
helped as 10 proportiouately reduce
representation In the states that re-
fuse suffrage TO the black man.
When the Southern States began
to enact legislation by which the
Negro was deprived OF the privilege
OF voting, those who advocated these
dishonest measures urged. many OF
them sincerely, that by thus taking
the Negroes out OF politics. better
and kindlier relations would be es-
tablished between the races. It has
not worked that way: indeed, we
should have known that 1t would
not. The drift has been steadily In
the direction of a wider separation
and more unfriendiy relations be-
tween the whites and the blacks.
The Southern whites. now In ab-
solute control. are determined to
prevent the Negroes from voting.
even II fraud, intimidation and muir
der continue to be necessary to ac-
comp:ish II. while the Negroes are
growing In their discrimination 70

them by the Constitution of the u
uited States.
Let US recall TO our fellow citi-
zens that the great Franklin said:
You may take away the ballot from
the rich and strong. for they can
get along without IL, but you must
never take IL from the poor and
weak, for that is their one defense
in republic"
THE VOTING POWER AND ITS
BENEFITS.
With the exercise OF the voting
power comes everything-freedom
manhood rights. proper considera-
tion. protection for life. property and
the family-yes. protection for the
wives and daughters Of black men
The astonishing facts in this conNec-
tion are that colored men have been
charged with assaulting white wo-
men, and have been lynched for Il.
but who ever heard OF white men
being lynched or punished for as
saulting colored women, and Il
would seem that this latter happens
far more frequently than the first.
Furthermore n black man who
repels an insult to his wife or sister
in some sections OF our land does Il
at the peril OF his life. and the coll
ored woman who resents insults
from white men does so at the peril
OF her life. Recently in Rome. Ga.
a white man shot a Negro woman
who resented his attentions. His
bail was fixed al $1OD Comment
ing on this The Vicksburg Ameri-
can" says with great candor.
This short item presents the
whole OF the Negro's side OF the
race problem in a nutshell. Il is
the logical outcome of the determi-
nation of the whites TO demand all
and give nothing. We condemn the
Negroes for immortality; we preach
sermons and write editorials about
the duty OF the race TO elevate it
self and answer with the shotgun
when they try TO do so. One OF our
favorite preachments to them is that
the morality of its women is the cor
nerstone of a races excellence. and
yet the Negro woman. pursued or
insulted by a white man, must sub
nit or run the risk of being shot
down"

THE RIGHT OF REPRESENT
TION.

Again. the right OF representation
is supposed TO be in born in every
American. Taxation without repre-
sentation was the primal cause Of
our Revolution and separation from
the mother country. The Constitu-
tion OF the Nation and OF the forty
six different states. specifically de-
clares against taxation without re-
presentation. and yet nine millions
OF citizens born on our soil. In every
way having the same political rights
as the other seventy-six millions.
and paying taxes upon hundreds OF
millions OF property and taking part
with high honor In the Nations
wars. are absolutely debarred from
representation at Washington.
or 39l Congressman and 90 SEN
ators that frame our laws, not one
is OF this race. BY fraud intimida-
tion and murder they have been and
are now deprived of representation
while forty representatives of their
stolen votes sit in the Nations Cap
ital. These representatives having
robbed the black man of his ballot
are using the stolen right to legis-
late for themselves. and against him.
These great and for-seeing states
men of Civil War times, foresaw the
evil conditions that now exist and
provided the remedy. while we. their
Indifferent and commercialized sue
cessors, stand by and refuse or fail
to apply the constitutional remedy
specifically designed TO destroy this
Infamous law breaking conspiracy.
They forbade race discrimination in
the right of suffrage. and provided
penalty of reducing the represen-
tation OF any state denying or ,abrid-
ging the right OF suffrage.

arc fifty years behind the times.
They live in the past and talk In the
past; they haves not changed. and
think that the colored men have

THE HEBREWS IN RUSSIA.

The Hebrews, who have been dis
criminated against for generations
and who now In Russia and Rouman-
la are realizing the awful results of
race hatred surely will be found
fghting for justice for all. On what
principle of consistency can they en-
courage our natives TO espouse their
cause in foreign lands. and fail 20 do
all they can to right the wrongs of
native born citizens In this country
The Italians will not be found want
ing in This fight when they under
stand 1t. The Germans, the Irish,
the Scotch, the Scandinavians. the
Russians, the Greeks the Armenians
in fact, all nationaIities coming to
our shores have histories and tradi-
tions that will impel them to be on
the side OF justice and against op-
preston.
the singular and awful fact Is that
this bitter determination to discrim-
mate against the colored race Is
chargeable to the native born Amer
lean.

Let us endeavor TO look at the sit

as IL looks 20 the Canadians and Eu-
ropeans. and not as il looks to us,
for Il is well known that continuous

and obey il are constantly made and

Rattlesnake Cure for aoitre

The rattlesnake cure for goitre is not generally known to medical practice, but it's efficacy is not doubted by some sufferers from this unsightly enlarge mont of the thyroid gland of the neck. A woman who used to live in Brooklyn is now taking the snake treatment at the hands of a snake fancier of some local fame in an upstate city. This faneier doesn t use rattlesnakes exclu- sively, but employs many small, slender garters in applying the treatment.
 The patient who is willing to try this most unusual remedy must submit to having a snake twine it's coils around her neck Meanwhile the snake fancier holds the snake by it's head and neck It is the practice to let the snake stay coiled around the enlarged neck for some little time. There is no danger of the snake choking patient to death, for when the snake begins to eonstrict too tightly, a motion of the hand of the patient signals the snake man, who promptly squeezes the snake s head and the squeeze makes the snake uncoil or loosen his coils immediately. "Rattle- snake Pete, local character in Koch ester, employed the snake treatment for goitre for a great many years. Pete was bitten many times by rattlesnakes and the last time he was bitten he could hardly hold enough whisky to neu- tralize the effects of the venom. He barely pulled through. Since then he has recommended harmless snakes to patients suffering with goitre.-Brook- lyn Eagle.

Difficulty of Aerial Navigation

Sir Benjamin Baker presided last night at an ordinary meeting of the So eiety of Arts, when Major B. F. s. Ba- den Powell, president of the Aeronaut- teal society, read paper on Aerial Navigation. !"
 In the discussion which followed, MT. Massey said that after considering mum bers of models and plans for twenty years, he had come to the conclusion that the only difficulty in the matter was to find satisfactory method of coming down. It was quite practical to build machine which would travel for thirty hours at 100 miles an hour, capable of carrying ton of dynamite but no one had found way of stopping the machine.-London Times.

MARKET STILL
 VERY DULL
Union Pacific Bond Issue Puts Damper on Whole Market-Stocks Are Not
 Pressed for Sale, but Close Was Weak Metal Market All Right. ... \.
(By I. N. Kinsev)


 GLOBE, May 10.-Walker Brothers of New York say: Market today open ed steady and then developed some strength. Trading was light and trad CTS didn t do much as they were waiting for crop reports. When these were pub lished, market hesitated and then sold off. During the afternoon market was weak and dull. Before the close slight rally took place, but was mainly covering by shorts.
 Paine of Boston says: Heavy issue of bonds by Union Pacific has put dis tinet damper on whole market, although pools tried hard to rally their special ties. They could not change public sen timent and steady liquidation came in all day. Close was weak and we feel moderately bearish at present. It is seldom safe to sell stocks short on dull market, but on the whole we do not look for any advance in stocks at present and think it would be well to liquidate speculative holdings of long stocks and save interest charges for next few months. Metal market is all right, but prevailing bearish sentiment and extreme scarcity of buying orders makes market look more like a sell.

Horse Returned for His Master

An old family horse named Socrates, owned by Ariel Cameorn of East Nor walk, has often displayed almost human intelligence, but he outdid himself yes terday and almost lived up to his name.
 William Shea saw Socrates jogging home without his master.
 "Hey, Sock, where are you going all alone7" he sang out. The horse stopped and looked back. When he espied the empty seat, he turned around and re- traced his steps for about two miles to point where he had left his master at store Again he turned around and stopped at the curb.
 Mir. Cameron said he knew the horse would come back, and had waited for him.-South Norwalk dispatch to New York American.

New York Stocks
Money, ? 3-5 per cent.
(By H. H. Bru Col

GLOBE, May 10.-The stock market was little more active today, but to- wards the close it showed some weak ness. We attribute this to the poor showing made by the government crop report. The prediction is, however, that wheat will be bullish for some time to come.
 Old Dominion sold with ex-rights to- day around $54.50 and we do not look for any advance tomorrow in any of the stocks. The first of next week should show strong market and hold up for some time to come. The best divi- dend paying stocks are certainly dirt cheap and as an investment they can not be excelled. We would advise their purchase, as the bottom has surely been reached.
