Conclusion.
For years past the legislation en-
acted by the Democratic party and
dictated by certain Of its leaders, has
not been for the benefit Of the citi-

aim -of such legislation has been tho

creation OF new officers 70 be traded
in as rewards for party service.
The citizen Is at least realizing. as
never before. that the administration
OF public affairs is a business that
comes close home 10 him.; that such
business must be honestly and eflcl-
emily conducted and that his ballot
should not be cast as a matter Of sent.

party which shows the highest capac-

Of the state on strict business prin-
ciples.
We ask the support Of all patriotic
citizens. regardless Of their party affii-

this convention. and for the policies
and principles above stated. believing
that 1t will insure better days for Ken
lucky.

part of the leaders of the North and the
leaders of the South.
The coming together of the hitherto
discordant elements in our body polite
can but meet the approval of the patri-
otic citizens of the American Republic.
"While thsi feeling of charity for all
and malice toward none Is ever increas-
ing, we must all agree that it should be
sufficiently inclusive to embrace the Ne
gro, and that it will never have accom-
plished its full purpose until he, nee
essary part of this republic, is the bene-
ficiary of the same.
IF such a spirit is necessary to the
rehabilitation of the Southland, and the
building up of the Northland as it re-
lates to the American white man with
his education, wealth and power-how
much more imperative it is that the Ne
gro, the weaker race, should be foster
ed and encouraged i'll the same way.
The weak look to the strong, the ig-
norant look to the inteliigent-look to
them for aid, leadership, light and JUS
tice. Justice unalloyed, justice full and
free, is that which the Constitution guar
antees and that which will bring a bet
ter day to our country.
The evidences of progress around me,
the prosperity of the Negro which I
have observed in the South, all convince
me that there is here a spirit of mutual
helpfulness between the races.
This IS gratifying and reassuring to
those of US who desire this better era.
The elimination Of selhshness on the
part of both races should be sought at
ter The economic phase of the ques-
ton should not be confused with the
racial phase
1t may be difficult for some to always
realize that race prejudice should have
no part in business relations. WhereveT
the Negro mawes himself competent and
worthy his color should not bar him
from remunerative employment and pro-
lection of the laws IN the performance
of his tasks The better element of the
white race should and do look with IA
vor and satisfaction upon the efforts of
the sturdy progressive Negro He in
turn asks and should receive their pro-
lection from any ills which may be Wis
tied upon him because of his race. Feel
mo secure he will more industriouslv

chief of the staff.
He has lucrative practice and he is
the owner of large and very valuable
real estate in the District and in Nir-

his present worth is forty thousand dol

Owing to the doctors extreme modes

Business reverses force me TO part

Other interests which / must protect

have money at once. The shares are
IN one thousand lot certificates, hence I
cannot sell less than one thousand
shares. AS an investment where the
mount risked is so small and the
chances for large increase so good, this
opportunity will be hard to beat.
There are only fifty certificates. Fifty
people taking one each will absorb the
lot; so, if you are interested, write in-
mediately. / will be glad to give you
full particulars as to location, prospects,
what the showing is, how purchasers
can keep informed regarding the devel-
opments, etc. Stock will be sent 10
purchasers through the express compa-
nies with the privilege of examining the
shares before paying a cent l want

shares at once, therefore | will sell for
FIVE cents per share or ($so) fifty dollars
per thousand shares.
Think of it, a chance to become inde-
pendent for the price of cigar, soda
water, or chewing gum. If you have
not got the money to spare, don't buy
these shares; but On the other hand if
you can afford to wait for the mine
to be developed, then get some of these
shares at once, for | firmly believe that
within two years these shares will be
easily sold at a price much higher than
the one / am making. The camp is be-
ing developed on very large scale, and
the results must and will benefit every
mining property in the locality.
To you who read this: This may
be your fortune knocking at your door,
so give II proper consideration. Be
quick about it for someone is going TO
buy these shares and make money on
them. Better take one thousand shares
for the wife and each one of the chill
dren. That is why so many people are
independent today, because their fore
parents bought cheap stock which grew
and blessed the giver and the recipient
These shares are worcestershire; they
won't eat anything there are no taxes to
pay on them You buy them once and
they are yours until you sell them. They
may prove better than life insurance,
with cost comparatively nothing.
Write for particulars Immediately.
Good opportunities. Move swiftly. Grasp
them while they are within your reach.
