of persons TO fill vacancies should
any occur. 1t is by no means
improbable that vacancies may
occur. as five of the present Justi-
ces will reach the age OF retire
ment during the next four years,
and their places would have to be
filled by the incoming President.
The justices alluded to above
are Fuller, Harlan, Brewer, Peck
ham and Holmes, of whom Fuller
and Peckham are Democratic, the
others Republicans. Moreover
as all them are aged men, very
nearly three-score and ten, and
some considerably above that, it
is at least possible that some of
them may be removed by death.
Now whatever such philosopher
as Bishop Turner may say of the
Supreme Court, we presume that
every sane Afro American would
much rather trust, his chances to
this court than t osuch a court as
Mr.. Bryan would be likely to con
stitute.
Mr.. Bryan has some very whim
steal notions which he would like
to have backed by decisions of
the court. 1t is possible that his
appointments would be influenced
by his knowledge of the appoin-
tees views o ncertain questions.
If he could scare up a decent law
yer who favors 10 to l, the man
would have a good chance for APP
pointment. 1t is very possible
that Mr.. Bryan could find some
lawyer who would endorse his
deposit guarantee plan. And it
is very certain that Mr.. Bryan
would not fail to remember his OBJ
legations to the solid South. Mr..
Bryan could radily find some of
the Northern lawyers who have
already asserted the non-validity
of the 18th amendment. And
the men Mr.. Bryan would APP
point might remain in office for
the next quarter of a century.
We appeal to every Arfo-Am-
erican voter to consider what
mayhave the effect of his Civ
ing his vote to anyone but Taft.

VIZ wish to continue to enjoy
the good times we now have,a and
the only way to be assured that
prosperity will continue is to
stand by the Republican party.
We should not try any expert
ments or indulge any petty spite,
as every vote is needed, and
where any one fails to vote for
the Republican candidate that is
equivalent to a half vote for the
opposition. This is an import
ant matter, especially in some
of the close Congressional dist
riots, for it is necessary to have
a Republican Congress to uphold
a Republican President.
1t is possible that some object
ionable men may be on the tick

is so much at stake this time that
they should be overlooked. Do

The southern Democrats say that
they would like to get rid of the Arfo-
American laborers, yet nearly all of
the states have statutes making it a
penal offense to entice laborers from
the plantations, and the white plant

person who attempted to separate
them from their field hands.

FOR CLERK OF THE DIST.
RIOT COURT

Judge F. X. Reece who is the
Republican candidate for clerk of
the district court is making a
winning canvass and it is almost
a foregone conclusion that he
will be triumphantly elected on
Nov. 3rd. Judge Reece is not
only popular among republicans,
there are scores of democrats who
are loyalty supporting him for
this position, he is a man whom
all classes a support feeling
that in him they have a friend
and hence he will receive on Nov.
3rd a loyal support from all class
es, and be triumphantly elected
as the next clerk of the District
Court.
Afro-Americans in the country
for the education of the poor
districts of the South, and his &C
ceptance of the trust is an evident
of his sympathy for the poor and
down-trodden.
In his public u~tterances, Will
lam Howard Taft has stated that
he stands squarely on the plank
in the Republican platform for
the enforcement of the war am
endments, he has denounced
lynching in the strongest terms,
he has paid high tributes to the
race, for its great progress in ed
ucation and industry during the
past forty years, and he has ex-
pressed his deep sympathy for
the sufferings of the Afro-Ameri-
can from the contemptuous in
suits of white men not his equal
in intelligence and edvotion to
duty.
When the representatives from
the National aptist Convention
recently assured Mr.. Taft that
the Afro-Americans would con-
tinue to support the Republican
party he replied:

RULING OF FEDERAL JUDGE
Foreigners Must Speak English Be-
fore Receiving Clear Title
to Homestead.

Denver, Aug. "A sensation was Great
ed in the federal court today when Judge
Lewis passed new ruling in throwing
out half a dozen naturalization cases, in
which he held that a foreign-born person
must speak the English language before
he can hold clear title to homestead.
1T cannot allow finaI papers to be Civ
en- said the court, where the party
seeking the same is unable to speak the
English language. He cannot understand
the laws of this country, its constitution
or any of the acts that go to prove his
citizenship. He may have homesteaded
upon land but he must read and write
English before he can secure his final
papers and come before this court with
a native-born citizen who can swear he
has known the subject for period of
five years"
The decision will result In invalidating
hundreds of claims in the state. and, ii
Is said, was made in accordance with
rulings and protests from the naturaliza-
ton office that too many persons were
being admitted as citizens who were sadly
deficient.

CHAF|N STUMP|NG IOWA
Prohibition Candidate for President
Gives His Views Upon
Political Parties.

Oskaloosa Ia, Aug 3.-Eugene W. Cha
fin, Prohibition nominee for the presi-
dency of the United States. addressed two
meetings here today. Among the things
he said were:
I'VE are governed by political parties.
always have been, and always will be.
republic cannot be governed in any
other way and political party never can
be any better than the evil il serves. II
does not matter how many good men
there are in the party. If they cannot
carry the election without the criminal
element In the party, then they cannot
but serve that criminal element after cleo
ton and they can get no better legis-
lation than this criminal element will
stand for.
A majority of the voters in every po-
liticai party in our history have been
and now are good men. If their parties
do bad things. such as licensing the liquor
traffic it is because they cannot secure
an election or reelection without serving
the men who want the license. Thus the
otes and influence of good men are neu-
traliZed when given to party which can
not carry the election without bad men.
