BOAT OF NEWSPAPERS.

New York In Paper She'll.

@. w. johnson to Row From Florida to
New York In Paper She'll.
George w. johnson, an old time Har-
lem river oarsman, now living in. St
Augustine, Fla, is constructing a pc
culiar boat In which he contemplates
rowing from st. Augustine to New
York via the inside route-through the
sounds, the bayous and canals-next
spring, says the New York Herald.
The boat Is to be constructed of news
papers and to be in the form Of a
shell, with little more beam than the
ordinary racing type. Mr.. johnson
rowed from New York to Boston In
1888 in somewhat similar craft. The
length of the cruising shell is twenty
feet by twenty inches beam, six inches
deep, and it will have ten water tight
bulkheads.
The boat is to be constructed entire
ly of newspapers. Mr.. Johnson hopes
to have in the craft copy of every
daily paper in the United States.
About twenty thicknesses Of paper are
to be used for the hull Of the shell,
which will be made in a mold under
pressure, producing composition
harder and tougher than any wood.
The deck will be similarly constructed
of paper, and the headings Of the va
rious papers will be used as mosaic
for the outside coating.
The mold is all ready at Mr.. John
sons bazaar, 3O1a st. George street, St.
Augustine, and as soon as newspapers
are sent in in sufficient quantity Mr..
johnson will begin work on his novel
craft

SCHOOL FOR TRuANTs.
No Bolts or Bars, but Bad Boys Will
Not Want to Run Away.


Not Want to Run Away.
The new Parental school in Los An
geles, Cal, will be completed in few
weeks and will be opened on Jan. 81.
1t is on the Los Feliz road and is sur
rounded by eleven acres Of beautiful
sloping ground extending from the
Los Angeles river to the Elysian hills.
The building cost $14, 900 and the land
$4,000, says the Los Angeles Times.
No other city in the United States
has just such an institution. although
New York is building one for similar
purposes Mt cost of 100000.
The Parental school is to house tr,l-
ants and delinquents whose environ
ments are such that reform cannot be
effected without removing them from
their homes. 1t is intended for boys
from eight to fourteen years of age.
but is not to be an adjunct to the ju-
venile court.
The new building is to have no bolts
or bars, and there will not be single
guard No uniform will be worn by
the lads, and each will have his own
little room, full Of sunshine. The pu-
pills will be in school probably not
more than half of each day. and the
rest of the time will be devoted to
healthful employment out Of doors.
There will be none of the marks Of Jail
or institutional life.
Since 95 per cent Of the successful
men in the world were brought up on
a farm it is purposed to give the tru-
ants the benefit Of Joy and Of country
existence.
The new building has been con-
structed in the old Spanish style, the
rooms being built around court On
the west side will be the superintend-
ent's living room and Office. There
will be twenty -four bedrooms, each
with large window. and library.
which opens into the large recreation
room, with its big fireplace, where the
youngsters may sit in the evening and

SECRETARY AND MRS. WILLIAM H. TAFT

know him? Until Comparatively re-
cent date Mr.. Taft has never come
into intimate personal contact with the
American multitude. But he did not
fail in winning the collective hearts of
the Filipinos or the Porto Ricans or
any other people that have become ac-
quainted with him.
Even granting the sapient CORE
spondent's sweeping assertion, howev-
er, what does it all amount to? Where
in does it initiate against Mr.. Taft's
presidential prospects? How many OF
our presidents have had the faculty Of
firing the heart of the sovereign null
titudeY' Have they not been Of the
more dignifed and less dashing type
that can inspire individual respect
rather than elicit the cheers of the
crowd? Magnetic leaders like the
Clays, the Websters, the Blaines and
the organs have missed the presidency,
which has gone to the Harrisons, the
Hayeses and the Clevelands.
OF course President Roosevelt is a
notable exception to this general rule,
DuL IL uuSL ACNCA NC LUZ GoltCh ShAuS
his first entry into the White House
was because Of an assassin's bullet.
Therefore it is scarcely fair to argue
from his case as a precedent.
Mrs. Taft, by the way, is the daugh-
ter Of former law partner of Ruth
erford B. Hayes and was guest OF
President aud Mrs. Hayes in the White
House thirty years ago. Probably she
did not dream Mt that time of ever be-
ing mistress Of the historic mansion.
Coming events may cast their shad-
ows before, but it requires second sight
to see the shadows.
The wife If the war secretary, who
may become first lady of the land, be-
licves in higher education for women,
takes a deep interest in musical affairs,
Is a good conversationalist, full of an
ecdotes of her travels, and is withal
tactful and gracious hostess very
popular in Washington society. She
is quite as good politician as her
husband and is probably more ambi-
tious for him than he is for himself.
Unpretentious and Clean Minded.
The chief characteristics Of William
Howard Taft are breadth Of view, un-
failing optimism, judicial balance, cou-
pied with a rare degree of executive
ability, capacity for work and the I'M
failing aptitude to meet any situation

him. Withal he is a diplomat, a poll

A Great Privilege.

The next best thing to being presi-
dent yourself is having your man
there Inasmuch as only one man can
live in the White House at q time, 1t is
this sort of vicarious occupancy Of the
office that must satisfy the other tif-
teen or twenty millions. But what
does that matter to man who has
really entered into thesssS~erican spir-
it? Even If he cannot deliver the In
augural address himself he can help
make the man who does, can call him
by his front name and take an init
mate interest in his comings and go
ings, his family and his policies. 1t Is
for this that the voter each four years
neglects his business to argue politics.
yells himself hoarse at political rallies
and marches through sun or rain to
elect his favorite. 1t is great thing
Just how great we have not yet meas
ured. 1t gives breath to manhood and
makes the spirit of the nation.
That the president of the United
States has more power than any other
ruler on earth is so universally recog-
nized that it has become platitude.
But his sovereignty is delegated and is
under time lock. 1t does not inhere
in him and his family, but In several
million John Smiths and Tom Joneses,
who collectively are greater than all
presidents and all administrations
whatsoever. If he is a temporary mon
arch, he Is q monarch made by the
people. They give and take away.
Theirs is the substance Of sovereignty,
of which he is but the passing symbol.
The nation is now in one Of its quad
rennial throes Of choost1G new form
into which to incarnate its spirit. a
new figure into whom to breathe the
breath of It's national authority. Who
is the man? Taft? Bryan? Hughes?
One Of the two Johnsons? Knox?
Gray? La Toilette? Harmon? For
aker? Fairbanks? Or some unguessed
candidate to be born of convention
deadlocks?
Despite the growing spirit Of political
independence, we are still nation
ruled by parties. Undoubtedly the
man who Is to succeed Roosevelt will
be named by one Of the two dominant
groups that we label Republican and
Democrat. The first interest. there
fore, centers in the nomination strug-
gle. which passes through the stages
o. newspaper discussion. caucuses,
primaries, party machines, bosses,
state conventions, secret conclaves,
moves and counter moves, finally cul-
minating at Chicago on June 1e and ct

Secretary Taft does not want to be
president, a feeling that all the other
candidates share with him. His life's
ambition has been to sit on the SUI
preme bench. and both his friends and
enemies agree that he would grace
that tribunal When he took the gov

him from realizing his aspiration to 20

cases. Abraham Lincoln lost the SEN

won the presidency. Is history again
to assume her familiar role Of re-

the average citizens concern over the

American voter who has not had fond

realizing his ambition are about 49,

Secretary Of Peace
Despite the fact that Taft has called
himself the secretary Of peace and has
made matches and settled quarrels In
two hemispheres, there was time
when he led class scrimmages In col
leye and whipped an editor who libeled
his father. His frequent and infec-

timism and good nature, but his nose
and chin are those Of Il warrior.
Physically Mr.. Taft looks like Gro

for many years was clerk to the su

at Carvings where he held a similar
position at the time of his death. He
was we'll known man and had a large
number of friends wherever he was
known and was for many years quite

Thanksgiving Day was jgenera.ly
observed by the peopole. The fea-
ture of the day was the Union Thanks
giving meeting that was held at st.
James A. M. E. church, at which all
of the churches were represented in
the audience which completely filled
the church. The choir, under the di-
rection of Mr.. T r.. Morgan, sang
special Thanksgiving music. There
was also an instrumental trio, violin
by Mr. w. M. Cannon, cornet by Mr..
T. R. Morgan and organ by Miss Alice
Vasser. There was a basso solo by
Mr.. c. H. Miller and solo by Mr..
J. H Hickman, Jr., all of which was
fine. Rev. w. D. Carter, of Pilgram
Baptist church presided. The invoca-
tion was offered by Rev. S. D. Davis,
of A. M. E. Zion Temple. The SER
mon was preached by Rev. J. M.
Boldly of Zion Presbyterian church.
Rev. Horace S. Graves, of st. James
A. M. E. church was next in troduced
but owing to the shortness of time
said little. Rev. H. H. Proctor, of the
Congregational church, Atlanta, Ga.,
was the next speaker. Rev. Horace

the last speaker, Rev. S. D. Davis pro

mon of Rev. Boldly was a fine effort
also. the addresses of Revs. Proctor
and Talbert. Each of these distin-
guished gentlemen told some, not
generally known, facts concerning the
black man that filled the breasts Of
their auditors with renewed hope that
their future might be brighter than
the present. The Union Thanksgiving
meeting was a grand and glorious
success and if the people of st. Paul
have nothing else to be thankful for
which they have of course-they GER
tainly should be thankful for that. 1t
was good to be there.
