pen and his means were literally CIV
Ell to this noble cause, and whenever
an opportunity presents itself for us
to meet and gratefully acknowledge
the priceless service he rendered for
us, we should be quick to take adj
vantage Of 1t. All will remember the
magnificent gatherings everywhere
less than two years ago, when We
celebrated the centenory Of another
anti-slavery hero, William Lloyd
Garrison, and the inspiration that
grew out Of those massive meetings
Is still manifest among our people.

should hasten to put into action the
wise suggestion OF DR.. Washington,
and by beginning now, there will be
no difficulty in making arrange
ments to observe the natal day Of
this great and good man in the way
that will adequately show our ap-
probation Of his humane labors and
lift us up to higher planes of
thought and keener perception OF
the duties and responsibilities that
have come to us by reason of his
manly stand for liberty, equality and
fraternity. Steps have already been
taken, we learn, by prominent men,

A SUGGESTION.
...>Lsll

20. s. rsc--s>@---- -
A happy solution
OF problems we seek,
l move TO abolish j,
The days OF the week.
A~a$M:sh.
Without any Monday
OF course It is seen
We'd ,ali NtatRout labor
Be equally clean.
With Saturday banished
And pay day wiped out,
Our wealth would be equal
Without any doubt.
Without any Sunday
To preach what we should,
We'd all-of us sinners
Be equally good.
T.
No more shall we hunger,
No more shall we sigh,
When each day shall be no day
Some sweet by and by.

sian Correspondence.
Washington, ID. c.. July 81
Who will be the next Republican
nominee for the presidency?
This is the question that is agi-
tatfng the minds or the politicians
and Of the laity, and wherever two
Or three are gathered together on
the continent, the discussion turns
to this everlasting problem.
Will President Roosevelt stick to
his ACCOMPLISHMENTS given out on the
night OF the election Of 1904, and
decline denomination? Or, will
ne" finally yield TO what may seem
to be a spontaneous call for him,
and allow the convention to name
MIN, without protest on his part?
Again, will he insist upon the nomi-
nation. OF Secretary Taft, if he de-
c1des that he will not. under any cir
cumstances, permit his own name to
used Then, should it be found
impossible to make Taft the nomi-
nee, would he throw the strength of
the administration to another cam
d1qate? In that event, would the
dark horse" be George Bruce Cor
tetyou, who surprised everybody by
MS phenomenal management of the
campaign which gave Roosevelt the
biggest popular majority received by
any presidential aspirant since the
rise of the, Republican party? If
Roosevelt should eliminate himself
and there should be a prolonged
fight In the convention, who would
benefit in the "break-up?"-Fair
banks, Cannon, Knox, Foraker,
Hughes, LaFollette or somebody yet
unheard Of
These are the queries that are
worrying the wiseacres, and the at
tempt to reach a solution is going
far to enliven the dull dog day
season in and out of the national
capital. At this writing it is any
body's fight, and there is little likeli-
hood of a crystalliZation Of senti-
ment along positive lines before the
meeting of Congress in December.
Some poIitics will doubtless be
played in the various camps, and no
one will be allowed to go to sleep
after the game starts in earnest.
Not the least Of the burning ques-
tlons that must come up for settle
ment will be the part the South will
play In the selection of a candidate.
ton for reduction Of representa-
ton will be sprung, on the score
that with less than 200 Northern
votes In the convention, added to
its; oWn strength. the South, with
out ability to deliver a single cleo
toral vote, will be powerful enough
to dictate the nominee The result
will probably be the same that it has
been in former years-the South
will retain its representation, but
the seats will go to those who are
willing to support the candidate
and platform that offer the best re-
turns to the party as a whole In
the meantime, the friends Of the ad-
minstration and the ants, the lily
whites and the hlack-and-tans, the
Sns and the outs are looking to the
main chance and overlooking no
bets.

Speaking Of the New York Age
we are reminded that for several
weeks-in fact, ever since the Age
became the property Of a stock com
pany-it has been bruited abroad
with much positiveness of statement
that the paper had been bought out
right by Dr.. Booker T. Washington
as the officia lorgan of the Tuskegee
institute and as the special cham
plOn Of industrial education and the
policies in general of the head of
that great school. 1t was further
asserted with assurance that Mr..
Fortune was no longer editor in his
own right Of the sheet that he found
ed in the long, long ago-that he
was simply a paid writer and sub
1ect to others as to the kind of mat
ter he must prepare for his patrons.
The Washington Bee fathered the
rumor, as did also the Washington
Horizon, if our memory serves us
Alright. The close friends Of DR..
Washington were in blissful ignor-
ance Of this alleged new move on
the part Of the man whose conf
dence they thought they enjoyed,
and silently wondered why it was
that the principal individuals VINO
possessed this great secret should
be persons who have not been known
as sympathizers with either the man
or his work. They imagined they
saw the virile and emphatic Fortune
Of other days in every line Of the ed
ltorial Eage-but the wise guys"
thought differently. They knew
what they were talking about; For
tune was in the office-in an lad
visory Capacity perhaps, but as the
thinker Of his own thoughts, he was
no more. SO THEY said. Com
mentinS with some warmth on the
matter contained in a recent issue
Of the Washington Bee, this is what
Mr. Fortune has to say for himself
on the subject:
"The Washington Bee says there
is a rumOr, but where and how it
originated it does not specify, that
Fortune is no longer editor Of the
New 1Oik Age, but acts only in an
advisory capacity. Now, this is not
argument, although Mr.. Chase may
think it is. But, If he or any other
person really thinks the rumor has
any bottom in it, let him try to
| break into The Age reservation and
he will get d jolt that will make him

| tune. Is off on a vacation, or has de-
generated into mollycoddle, here is
"c0me on that sounds as If it
| meant business. If Booker r. Wash
ingtOn has purchased controlling
interest in the paper, the person who
first gets 10 Tuskegee, Alabama
with the proof, will hear something
very decidedly to his advantage.
DR.. Booker r. Washington's sug-
gestiCn that the Negroes throughout
the country appropriately observe

Prof. G. F.. Williams, principal of

and Dumb, for colored children, To-
Gated at Raleigh, North Carolina,
died very suddenly at Norfolk last
Wednesday night. Apoplexy was the
cause. The death of Prof. Williams
was the first to occur in the Negro
Department Of the jamestown Ex-
position, and he will be greatly
missed. He had worked unceasing-
~ for many months to make the
North Carolina exhibit a worthy one,
and 1T is extremely regretable that
he was called away before the end
Of the season, which was to have
been fraught with so much that was
valuable to him and to the race be

paratory to fight to finish. He
haZarded no guess as to the out

submit tamely to a forfeiture Of his
existing right to vote A strenuous
effort, it is said, will be made to have

The Little Falls Herald tells good
story of one of the newly WEEDS of
that city. One night recently, so the
story goes, he was awakened by the
sobbing of his wife and upon inquiry
as to the cause, between sobs she told
that she had an awful dream. Natur-
ally hubby wanted to know the dream
but she simply could not tell him and
burst into renewed flow of tears.
This looked serious and the gentle
man of the house insisted on know
ing all. She agreed to tell all provid-
ing he would not get angry. This he
readily consented to and she began.
She said: 81 dreamed that 1 made a
trip to Chicago and / visited one of
the big department stores where
thought | found bargain sale of
husbands. They were marked from
BIC, 900 apiece down. The high priced
fellows were beauties; they were
81 IMPLY grand until-bo-hoo." Here
she broke down again and her hus-
band in trying to soothe her asked if
there was any that looked like him
self. More tears fell and then she
went on: "Ye-yes they had some
on the counter tied up in punches
like radishes, marked three for a
quarter and you was among them
