The bestowal of title on Mrs. Ryan
has been long expected by those fa-
miliar with church affairs. But it is
not the first favor she has received
from the Vatican. Pope Leo XIII.
granted her the dispensation of hav-
ing a travelling chapel. This is in
stalled in her private car, the "Pere
Marquette" and is the only one of
it's kind in this country. The only
other in the world belongs to the
Queen Dowager Of Spain.
It is said Mrs. Ryan gives away
$1,OOO,OOO year in charities. Her
gifts to the Church alone in the past
four or FIVE years are. es imated at
more than $5,0O0,000.
Root Victim of Overwork.
Secretary Of State Elihu Root is
a member of the famous Training
Squad" at Wrestler Muldoon's farm
near White Plains, N. Y. IL was re-
ported in White Plains that when Mr..
Root reached Muldoon's he was on
the verge Of a breakdown from over
work. He was nervous and dis
traught. He is still suffering from
nervousness, but it is believed that
under the treatment Of the former
champion wrestler Of the United
States he will make rapid recovery.
Disfranchisement Approved by the
Governor.
Governor Hoke Smith, of Georgia,
approved the Williams Fielder negro
disfranchisement bill, and at the next
general election in the state it will
be submitted to the people of Geor-
gia for ratification as a part of the
organic law. Inasmuch as the bill
embodies one of the paramount is
sues Of the campaign, Governor Smith
was especially well pleased to attach
his signature Of approval, and he
feels sure that the people of the state
will ratify its provisions when the
question is submitted to them.
The amendment is so framed that
it will eliminate about 80 per cent
of the negro vote of the state, and
at the same time preserve to every
white man the right of suffrage.
Driven to Suicide By Public Taunts.
Paul A. Barth, recently mayor of
Louisville, formerly president of the
Board of Aldermen, prominent in

office of the Utica Lime Company, of
which he was president. 1t is be-
ieved that the act was due to the
taunts of political enemies and news
papers allied with them, in criticism
of Mr.. Barth's political methods and
in question of his personal integrity
in his Official life.
All the municipal officials, includ-
ing the mayor, were recently ousted

Secretary Of the Treasury Cortel-
you announced new plan of depos-
iting government funds in New York,
Boston and other cities, to afford re-
lief to the money market in the ap-
preaching crop-moving period.
The plan was made known in this
official statement:
Beginning with next week the
Treasury Department will make each
week for a period Of not less than
five weeks deposits in national banks
at New York, Boston and other
points, the security required to be
approved state, municipal and rail-
road bonds acceptable under the exist
ing requirements Of the department,
with the understanding that if call
ed for such deposits shall be return
ed January 1 next in instalments TO
be fixed by the secretary of the treas
ury.
"This action is taken to meet the
commercial and industrial needs of
the country at this season, and is be-
lieved to be preferable to waiting
until time of acute stringency, when
the only alternative would be large
general deposit. The latter policy
the secretary desires to supersede by
one which shall have as its ultimate
object the adjustment of the opera
tions Of the Treasury Department as
rapidly as may be practicable under
existing law, in such manner as shall
preclude their being in any sense a
distributing factor in the business
world"
Fleet Sails for Pacific Coast.
This official statement from the
president was issued at Oyster Bay
hy Secretary Loeb:
"Oyster Bay, N. Y. Aug %, 1907.
"The conference this afternoon be-
tween the president, Acting Secretary
of the Navy Newbery, Rear-A dmiral
Brownson, Chief of the Bureau Of
Navigation, and Rear-Admiral Evans
was to decide some of the details in
connection with the feet going to
the Pacific.
"The feet will consist Of sixteen
battleships and will start some time
in December, going through the
Straits of Magellan and up to San
Francisco; and it will probably also
visit Puget Sound.
"The question of the route by
which it will return to the Atlantic
has not as yet been decided.
"The destroyer fotilla will leave
for the Pacific about the same time
as the feet, but will not accompany
it."

Summary Of Ebents as They Happen
Taft Firm for Roosevelt Policies.

In l5,OOO-word speech before the
Buckeye Republican Club at Coluna-
bus, Ohio, Secretary of War Taft
outlined the national policies he ad-
vocates. The secretary's speech was
a re-affirmation of all the policies of
President Roosevelt in the matters Of
the railroads, the trusts, pursuing the
criminal rich and prosecution and
curbing swollen futures. He advo-
Gated revision of the tariff, but not
until after the next presidential cleo
ton, and then only as regards Eek
cessive schedules" Free tariff, he
said, would lead to disaster.
Throughout his long speech Sec
retary Taft many times referred to
utterances Of William Jennings
Bryan, and took pains to show at
great length that the Bryan policies
had not been taken over by Roose-
velt and that there were radical diff
ferences in the forms of government
proposed by the two men.
A few of the terse sayings Of Sec
retary Taft are as follows:
The rate law does not go far
enough.
Efficient regulation is the very an
tidote and preventative of Socialism
and government ownership.
They (the railroads) have been
weighed in the balance and found
wanting.
The remedy for the evils must be
radical to be effective.
AS the original prosecutions go on
and many such prosecutions have
been begun-if the violations of the
Trust law are continued, undoubted-
ly some shining marks will be hit.
The present business system Of the
country rests on protective tariff
and any attempt to change it to a
free trade basis will certainly lead
only to disaster.
If the prosecution Of dishonesty
and illegal practices, like the giving
and taking of rebates and the de-
struction Of competition by monopoly,
is to injure the market for stocks
on the Stock Exchange, then this is
a burden that must be borne and
must be charged not to the head of
the nation, whose duty it is to en-
force the law, but to the violators of
the law, whose pursuit Of criminal
methods has been so successful as to
make their prosecution serious
threat against the stability Of the
market.
Huge Meteor Drops Into Sea.
An immense meteor, apparently
about rs feet in circumference, fell

Whipping Post Failure.
Disappearing of the Delaware
whipping post, declaring that it is a
failure and refusing to further lash
prisoners, Asmond S. Meserve, war
den of the Newcastle County Work
house near Wilmington, DEL, and one
Of the leading criminologists of the
country, has resigned. The warden
said:

unbiased study Of the effect Of the
whipping post on men of this class,
and have come to the conclusion that
it is all bad. It brings out in o man
all that is revengeful and hurtful,
and he arrays himself against law,
order and society,""
Morgan Back in Wall Street Office.
J. Pierpont Morgan was at his
Office in Wall Street last Thursday
for the first time in several months.
He arrived early and stayed late.
His presence had an inspiring effect
on financial sentiment. All of the
Morgan stocks showed advances.
Southern Railway, United States
Steel and other Morgan specialties
rose materially. Reading is still
looked upon as Morgan stock, al
though his interest in it is reported
small at present. The pool took ad-
vantage of his presence to make a
demonstration against the shorts.
There was good buying in Erie and
Southern hallway preferred, it was
said by Morgan brokers. This led
to the belief that the stories that div
idends on these stocks will be passed
are probably untrue.
No Dividend On Central Thirds.

rectors Of the Central of Georgia
Railway company, held at Macon,
Ga, dividend Of per cent was de-
clared upon the first preferred in
come bends Of the company, q divi-
dend Of three and 1921 900 per cent
upon the seconds and nothing upon
the thirds. The reason given for no
dividends upon the third was that
none were earned.
The annual report was not given
out, President Hanson stating that
The report would not be ready until
October meeting of the board.
While no announcement was made
of the fact, it was learned that it was
determined to fight the rate reduc-
tions there out in the courts.

BELIEVES HERALD's EFFORTS
MAY AROUSE COMMISSIONERS

With the caption "The Herald's Nag
ging" the Pacific Outlook has the fol-
lowing to say regarding the action taken
to show the state railway commissioners
their duty under the law:
The Los Angeles Herald has stirred
up hornets nest in the San Francisco
ferry building, the headquarters of a
body cf three men supposed to perform,
pursuant to the laws framed for their
goverrance. certain duties in connection
with the operation of railroads in Cali
fornia. The Herald has announced It's
ciscovery-this is fitting term for its
find. as none of the lawyers of the
state, nor yet the courts, so far as can
he learned, appear to have been cognizant
| of it's existence-of certain sections of
the constitution which make 1t the duty
of the state railway commission to es-
tablish and publish schedules of freight
and passenger traffic rates which shall
be strictly adhered to by all the rail-
roads of the state. The provisions of
the organic law cited-Sections 81 and %
OF Article 12-also authorize and direct
the commission to see that the law is
enforced, by appeal to the courts If
necessary. The commissioners plead ig-
norance of the law and one of them in
Inmates that he will be glad to pass

about for some length of time trying
tn find some law which will fit the case
of the Southern Pacific. particularly a
law that will render possible the punish
ment of that road for granting rebates
or business transacted entirely within the
state Now that the Herald has pointed
to the law, IL will be highly edifying to
watch events in Sacramento as well as
in the ferry building. If any public Of
ficial of California voluntarily proceeds
against the Southern Pacific it is safe
bet" that he will not be an attorney
general nor railroad commissioner, un-
| less one of these functionaries should be
shamelessly forced into the fight through
the persistent nagging efforts Of the
meddlesome Herald.

A POLITICAL JULY 4

A NEW aspect of the negro question
~ looms large on the political hori
- zon. 1t presages disquietude, even
turbulence of spirit, in the ranks of the
erstwhile mortgages of the negro fran
chise. as they have regarded them
selves. We refer 20 the dissonant chord
which has been sounded in the political
relations between the negro voter and
the Republican party.
None will question the statement, we
feel safe in asserting, that the great
Republican party has viewed the negro,
as political entity, in the light of an
instantly available asset. Since the
liberation of the slaves and their en-
franchisement they have been assidu-
ously taught that to this party they
owe everything-life, liberty and the
right to pursue happiness in their own
way Until recently few have had the
temerity to question the paramount in
fiuence of this party over the negro,
and the number of Republicans who
have admitted the possibility of an
issue as to the plain duty of the negro
voter at election time is little more
than coequal with the numerical
strength of the hairs on the head of a
Rockefeller.
But time not only heals wounds but
likewise permits the development of
reasoning powers. The negro, it would
appear, has been undergoing sort of
mental metamorphosis. His brain has
become the seat of an individual
capacity for logic. He has begun to
think for himself!
Voting the Republican ticket auto
matically, as class. he finally began to
ask himself why he did so, and finding
no overwhelmingly satisfactory reply
within himself he sought conviction
elsewhere. In other words he broad
ened. Like other human beings, he
endeavored. with the light of history to
guide him, to find out where he was
at, Mr.. Speaker" as a junior states
man from Georgia once caused 1t to be
entered in the Congressional Record.
The negro is arriving. Some of them
may in truth be said to have arrived.
In Baltimore last spring the majority
of the colored voters cast their ballots
for the Democratic candidate for
mayor, to the CONSERVATION of their
political sponsors and mortgages. Just
recently the formerly almost solid Re-
publican negro vote of the cultured
seat of Yale university looks as If it
had Just emerged from the vortex of a
cyclone.
