negroes go to ruin are run by white
men. The charge can be denied but
In few places. For years Southern
people have preached. without prac-
ticing. the enforcement OF vagrancy
and other laws. Each new outbreak,
such as that on Christmas in Kemper
county. Mississippi, has brought forth
flood OF well-meaning but mean
ingless sermons from the press on
the subject OF Justice to the victims
and punishment OF the guilty. What
we need In the South is prevention,
not cure. There is no cure for the
murder OF the innocent victim or n
mob any more than there is for the
victim OF a criminal assault. We
have the means OF prevention on the
statute books for practically all
crimes. There are remedies already
at hand that viii reach the very
sources OF negro crimes, but i'm too
many sections there is sad lack OF
officials to administer them. and the
mob takes their place after it is too

You can always send II broadcast

Dental way
IF you'll lot her wiring It from you
by just throwing out hint.
That TO any comprehension would be
just as plain as print;
n you'll seem to dodge her questions
with a knowing sort Of smile,
Making damaging admissions with an
aspect free from guile,
And then trust TO her discretion and
let everything be known
With the proper understanding you
cOnfide IN her alone
That will do IL. All will know II ere
the closing OF the day
If It's whispered to a lady In con
fdential way.
There Is nothing that can beat It.

careful what you say,
And remember. too. to say n IN a

THE ORIGIN OF
GUNPOWDER.

The Chinese have long been credit
ed with the invention OF gunpowder.
but Prof e. o. Won Lippmann OF
Halle has collected evidence to indi-
cate that this is a mistake, and that
the Arabians did not, as commonly
stated, introduce gunpowder into
Europe during the 9Th and 9Th CEN
turtles. Professor Won Lippmann be-
lieves that the manufacture OF the
first gunpowder was based upon the
"Fire-book" OF Marcus Gracus. which
appeared in Constantinople about the
middle of the 18th century. This was
the source from which Roger Bacon.
Albertus Magnus and Thomas Aquin-
az derived their knowledge OF gun
powder. The first use of gunpowder
to drive projectiles is ascribed to a
monk. Berthold Schwarz, whose dis
covery was made accidentally while
preparing the mixture for medical
purposes.

NEW DESTROYER.

The new naval terror I'm the shape
OF a submarine destroyer has just
been invented by Lewis Nixon, a
graduate OF Annapolis and former ma.
val officer, then shipbuilder. and now
an official OF the Carbon steel works
OF Pittsburg, Pa, says n writer in the
Technical World Magazine for Janu-
airy. The essentials OF the new terror
Of the seas are being kept a secret
until certain patent rights have been
granted by different countries. II Is
known, however, that the destroyer
Of submarines, as planned by Mr..
Nixon. IS scarcely larger than a first
class submarine. u Is much lighter.
for the reason that Il must BE- capable
Of being hoisted on shipboard by
davits. It will be built wholly OF
steel Of the thinnest possible plates
compatible with strength and securely
braced with light frames. II will
be propelled by a modern gasoline
motor capable OF creating great speed
for short distances It Will be armed
with a vertical torpedo tube which
can shoot a torpedo straight down

but death-dealing sub
marine. II Is admitted that the sub

FOR JUSTICES SAKE

"Wait minute" exclaimed the
court. 81 don't see no use In your

PRESIDENTIAL
VERACITY

When a conflict of veracity arises
between the president and a private
citizen, the country believes the pres
ident. no matter who the private citi-
zen be nor how confirmatory his
proofs: for the sentiment that the
king can do no wrong survives. II
was SO when President Roosevelt
charged Mr.. Whitney with falsifying.
With a second such conflict the count
ry argues upon the probabilities.
This was so when President Roosevelt
gave his version OF the Tillman-Chan-
dler episode. A third such conflict
occurring, IL staggers the country with
a horrible doubt. This is it's attitude
toward the presidents connection
with the Storer affair. Some say IL
takes fourth conflict to put a presI-
dents word at discount and discredit
him alike I'm all future and all pre-
ceeding conflicts OF veracity. Some
say It takes Ave. But the long line
OF newspaper correspondents who
have suffered from interviewing ex-
periences with Mr.. Roosevelt must
begin 70 feel that the day OF their
vindIcation is not far away.-Chicago

LET THIS YEAR sURPAss ALL
THE RECORDS OF THE PAST,

The year just past In many respects
has been the greatest In the history
OF the country and that means the
history OF the world. This is truth,
though glibly spoken.
Greater than all before has been
the old year. but greater stili. unless
all signs fail, viii be the new.
All the factories are flooded with
orders. The prosperity OF the coun-
try is founded on the creation or ac-
tuai wealth. and for that reason is
substantial and enduring.
But unprecedented prosperity "a
not the only thing nor the greatest
which has distinguished 1905.
The year will stand IN history as
one in which legislation OF tremen-
dous force found enactment. The ma
itonal conscience asserted itself In
1905 as greater power than organ
lied greed, and restraints were put
upon the predatory trusts. the bene-
Ats of which will be reaped for years
to come.
II has been year of liberal phil
anthrophy. a year OF decided growth
in scientific, educational and reiig-
ious affairs.
Prosperity has not yet caused us.
as a people, TO lose sight OF the high
er ideals or to forget tho hisher prr-
poses.
Wonderful have been the achieve
ments in 1905. More wonderful still,
let us hope. will be those OF 1907. e

MEAGRE PREPARATION
FOR CITIZENSHIP.

mo people have had a more mad
equate preparation, educational, and
economic for American citizens. "out
of the four or FIVE million Jews" said
a leading St Petersburg newspaper In
1898, "only from ten to fifteen thous-
and have a stable means OF subsis.
.tence." "What did you do in Russia,
the East-Side Jew is frequently ask
ed to-day; shrug OF the shoulders
is the invariable reply" says Burton
y. Hendrick.
His article 1.-THE Great Jewish In
vasion," In the January McClure's.
Is startling in its revelation OF facts
regarding the hordes of Russian Jews
that continue to swarm to Americas g
headquarters-New York. Mr.. Hen
drick tells how In Russia all manner
of restrictions have been heaped up
on them:-"They are kept out OF all
the learned professions, virtually for
hidden the primary schools, the tech
nical institutions. and the universities
even those which they have found
ed themselves,-and prevented from
owning or leasing agricultural land.
''They are shut up in few cities,
forbidden to live in the country, or
In tho Russian towns. BY the state
they are treated as outcasts. They
are not Russians and never can be-
come such; In the caste system OF
Russian society they are reckoned in
the same class with the Kirghiz of
Siberia, the Kalmueks OF Astrakhan,
and other semi-cIvilized tribes. Thus,
when they land at Ellis Island, they
are TO a large extent ignorant, un-
able to rear or write; personally un-
cleanly; without professions or skilled
trades; inevitably with suspicious
hatred Of governmental authority.
Their only capital stock is an intel
lect which has not been stunted by
centuries of privation, and an in
dustry that falters at no task, how
ever poorly paid"

TRADES BECoM-
ING DIFFERENT.
MAJOR LEAGUE CLUBS DARE NOT
SELL STARS, SAYS PRESI-
DENT MURPHY OF
CHICAGO.

Baseball has reached such a period
of popularity I'm this country. In the
opinion OF President Charles w. Muir
ply. OF the Chicago Nationals. that
no major league club will ever dare
to dispose OF star player for a cash
consideration. II Is doubtful IL the
patrons of the game would remain
silent IL a magnate should trade a
star for one, or more players, unless
the bargain was SO onesided that
every fan would see a big advantage
gained by his club. ut has been
getting harder and harder for years
to trade for star players" continued
Mr.. Murphy. Last season every club
in the National league made money.
Some did not make as much as the
Standard oil company, but there was
a balance on the right side OF the
ledger.

OUR DAILY POISON

A prominent physician declares that
thousands of people regularly and al
most systematically poison them
selves with food
Even the laymen can See this. The
layman may not know where the
trouble lies, but he painfully knows
that IL exists.
Scarcely any disorder is more COM
mon than indigestion. It need not
be acute in order to work great In
jury. IL may weaken the system and
.detract from ones energies and pow
ers without giving any warning pain
at all.
Eating is one OF the most important
things in life. and yet It is given the
least concern.
The average man exercises more
concern In selecting a necktie than
on selecting a meal
The palate is only guided in most
cases. and few ever stop to realize
how grossly the palate may be cor
rupted and how far IL may lead us
'astray.
If man were to conduct his bus
iness as he conducts his eating. de-
voting himself only to the things he
likes and ignoring the things he does
not like, he would end in bankruptcy
just as surely as thousands now end
in indigestion.
Some starve themselves, imagin-
ing they are dieting. but the great
majority go to the other extreme and
constantly over eat. The stomach is
the sturdiest organ in the body, but
&c cannot carry the loads most people
put upon II.
Men who have fine horses and even
dogs find Il worth while to observe
the principles OF proper feeding. An
imals represent money, and so com
mand concern.
The man who would overfeed or
underfeed. or improperly feed I'm any
way, a valuable horse, would be
looked upon as a TOOL or brute. He
would not only be destroying his
own property. but would run foul OF
the Society for the Prevention Of
Cruelty to Animals
But man may misfeed himself
and nobody cares.
He may thus destroy the most
valuable OF all his possessions-his
heaIth--and never think OF his loss,
until too late.
Proper eating provided there Is
enough to eat--would be the simplest
problem with which men have to
deal II they would but apply as much
sense to themselves as they do to
horses and Cincinnati Post.
