said that seemed very silly. Yet his
woman was quite intellectual, and her
new idea of freedom did not seem TO
shock her sense OF refinement in the
least.
You see, there is a tremendous
simplicity of nature to be considered.
The Turkish women are just like chill
dren. considering them in connection
With moral viciOuSness, as We under

cannot see why a woman is not JUST
fed in having four husbands when a
man is justified in having four wives.
The justification Of the man is never
questioned. Her Turkish sister OF the
old school explains in vain that Allah
has not so intended-that man and
woman are differently constituted.
The thought Of bringing into the world
a large number of children is not
shocking to her. On the contrary, to

and she cannot seem to conceive that
children cannot be disposed of in
America, just as they are in Turkey.
Surely, she thinks if they cannot be
sold into slavery, then the state will
make an allowance for them.

this young girl just to gather her view

America never takes charge of chill

this financial and moral responsibility
of their rearing, that this is regarded

THE seemingly logical arguments
and the wonderful views of the new
woman of Turkey show clearly what
an amazing influence environment and
custom have on life. The new Turkish
man is totally different. He is moth
ing more than the Turk of %depravity.
He has discarded his religion and he
finds his delight in parading French
and other women of lax character in

He is generally stunned. And usually
he dies quickly. Drink kills him. The
Turk is not used to alcohol. Allah for

Turkey, and when the Turk becomes

mission. While the whole world
was extolling the prowess of the
Negro soldier, it was reserved for
the chief beneficiary of that PROV
ess to sound the sole discordant
note. In a notable magazine ar
ticle, where our present day war
riors are wont to fight their battles
with an ingenuity and courage
rarely equaled on the tented field,
Col. Roosevelt either discredited
their valor or damned them with
such faint praise as to dim the
luster of their fame.
"The ungenerous criticism dunn
founded the Negro race, as subse-
quent developments have clearly
shown, touches the pride and
arouses the resentment of this race
as nothing else can do. For time
there was no more unpopular man
in America throughout Afro
Americandom. But election time
was approaching. Political exig-
encies made him the available can
didate for the governorship of the
Empire State of New York.
The chief factor in this avalia-
bility was the military glamour
that gathered about him because
of San Juan Hill, where the color
ed troops fought so nobly. The
results at this election depended
upon the colored vote, whose re-
sentiment he had aroused. Candi-
date Roosevelt SO mollifed and
qualified the structures of Col.
Roosevelt as to take away much of
the keenness of the sting. By the
use of such Establishments as the
politician knows well how to apply
to salve to sores of an aggrieved
class during the unrest of heated
campaign, the injury was forgiven.
or at least held in allegiance.
"Under the rallying cry of the
grand old party the Negro vote
came to the rescue and supported
him almest to a man. The slen-
dor margin of his victory showed
that his success was due to that
support. Had the Negro persisted
in a spiteful spirit and sought
vengeance at the polls his political
career doubtless would have been
cut short and the pent-up energies
of his nature must have sought
outlet through a different channel.
at was thus that the Negro
saved his political life at the ballot
box, as he had saved his physical
life on the battle field"

There are but few women folks
who are immune to the allurements
of the modern bargain sales-day
and in increasingly large numbers,
the men too, are becoming innoc-
culated with the same virus.
Which ever way you turn the Sc
ductive tale of bargains is there to
confront you. 1t boldly stares
you in the face out of the pages of
your Sunday morning paper and
fearing this may have escaped
your notice, the postman delivers
you a personal reminder in the
shape of a booklet, beautifully IL
lustrated with goods and prices
guaranteed" must be right or
money back" and all such rainbow
promises gloriously in evidence.
Follow the crowd in the business
dist ion Thursdays or Fridays and
you are bound to bring up in front
of bargain counter. 1t may be
regular fifty cent hosiery at nine
teen cents the pair" an actual
half price sale of millinery or
clothing which the perversity of a
backward season has kept on the
shelves: the we'll known "green
ticket or redletter" sale with the
goods oddly priced in all possible
combinations of the magic figures
nine and eight or it may be a gen.
uine rip-roaring, never equaled fire,
dissolution or bankrupt sale, with
the poor innocent goods, some of
which have cost many weary
hours of heartache and suffering
in the making all to be sacrificed
at twenty cents or thereaoouts
on the dollar.
Then there's another sort of bar
gain which they hand you in frac-
tions. These are only to be had
in the large department stores.
You will find them in the grocery
annex or at the lace linen and do
mestic counter.
1t is perhaps well to say that,
when seeking fractional bargain
one should under no circumstance
neglect to carry along a handy
pocket edition of some good ready
reckoner. This will save good
deal of worry and subsequent
loss of sleep and perhaps appetite
as well. Then, too, one avoids
that abasement and humiliation of
spirit which comes with the con-
viction that we are not half as
bright as others think us and that
even little sales girl is a bigger
"it'' than we are.
This of itself should not make
one feel badly, for if you but knew

Roosevelt and the Negro" is
the title of an article by Prof
Kelly Miller, of Howard Univer-
sity, Washington, D. 9. In part,
it says:
'The late Senator Ingalls,, in
one of his luminous flashes, defin-
Eed politics as the metaphysics OF
force This definition fits with
philosophic fneness the nature of
Theodore Roosevelt, who is its
most strenuous exemplar.
In effective political dynamics
and intensity of acclerative energy
he easily surpasses all the present
day rulers of the earth. He has
no reserved physical or psychical
potencies. All the energies of his
nature are in the active voice and
present tense. With him pure
reasoning is a burden, and disqui-
sitional niceties a waste of while
and a weariness of flesh.
His one superlative passion is
how to bring things to pass. His
mind works with the celebrity of
feminine intuition. He reaches
conclusions and settles issues with
a swiftness and SELF satisfying GER
tainty that startles the more eau
tious statesmen who rely upon the
slower processes of reason and de-
liberation.
He has diagnosed the case.
prescribed the remedy, and cured,
or killed the patient before the Or
binary physician has finished feel
ing the pulse. After the deed is
done, he leaves to the college pro-
fessor or the senile moralist to dis
cuss the moral quality of the
method employed. If he has not
a jesuitical disregard of means, he
at least considers them as but SUBJ
sidinary processes, which must not
too seriously embarrass the right
eous end in view.
HE is the greatest living
preacher of righteousness, but it is
always righteousness as it is in
Roosevelt. He holds to his COD
ception of public duty with the
tenacity of infallible assurance. If
others are too stubborn to accept or
too dull to appreciate his more en-
lightened point of view, the worse
is the perversity, or the more the
pity. He never reaches intellect
ual or moral sublimity, but is tran
sendent only in action.
His deeds are never dull. Even
in dealing with the commonplaces
of life he infuses into them the en-
ergizing spirit of his own naturel
He dramatizes the Ten Command
ments and vitalizes time. worn
