Nearly everybody has noticed that
some colorS appear to be cooler thar
others, but does be or she really
consider that there is a real and
preceptible difference between some
colorS and others? 1t is not only a
difference of looks, but of actual
degrees, 1t is quite easy to make a
practical experience for oneself tC

ment. No special apparatus is
needed, all that is necessary is a

boards that are so numerous around
town.
On passing the hand over the colors
white, green, blue, red and
black successively very perceptible
change will be notice, amounting tC
nearly degrees from the cool of the
white TO the hot of the black.
OF course, this can be very easily
accounted for in a scientific way. 1t
is a we'll known fact that some colors
reflect the light more than others,
| White, for instance. reflects about
| 90 per cent of the light thrown
upon it. The heat contained in the
light, therefore, passes off in a
nearly ike degree. The colors green
blue. red and black range down
from about IS per cent to zero
gradients. Colors, like metals are
good and bad conductors of heat
and the fact is that person not
only looks cooler 10 a white dress,
but also is cooler by several degrees
than one dressed in red or black
even though the dresses are of the
same material and weight.

 But Roosevelt again heard from

 on the spot. A Lily White Republican

 back to its old 1ines"
 He accordingly dismissed the lead ing Republican ofnce holders In Ala, bama who were responsible Tor the Lilly White" movement. and put in their place the wheel-hoses of the "Binck and Tans." who were endorsed by Booker T.. with . view to dealing direct by his deputies with the various elements of the party. He appointed three referees as a sort of triumvi- rate of advisors on appointments, and on other matters pertaining to party discipline. One of these referees was W. F.

Mr. Aldrich advocated the system of hay ing the State Committe elect it's own chairman. according to slmost univer- sal practice in Republican organiza- ttons. and that the chairman should not be an ofiice holder.

 But Booker T. Wash hineton was the only person to whom Roosevelt gave credence in the matter, and the treach- erous work of Aldrich's foes won the day at the White House. Roosevelt acted in the matter with his character istic precipitancy, without regard to the truth. to right or justice. Booker T. backed up the representations of his little white pet, and the game was won.

 In the teeth of this situation. 1t was nd mean feat which W. F.

 Several official letters from a close friend of Roosevelt at the time throw decidedly pretty side-light on the situation above outlined.

INSIDE REPUB
 HISTORY
HOW BOOKER T. WASHINGTON HAS
 TAKEN SIDES.
Review of the Aldrfch-Tkompson Trouble and How the Former :.
 Was Turned Down.

Birmingham, May e.--(Speciai. )--The Republican imbroglio in Alabama has assumed national importance from . the fact that the same man who took q solid Roosevelt delegation of twenty two to Chicago in 1904, will lead solid anti Roosevelt delegation of sim liar numerical strength to the same city in June.
 The why's and wherefores of this sit- uation make a pretty commentary on the processes employed for breeding Republican delegates in the South. They embrace story of more than passing interest. and throw into strong relief that nighty propensity of Theo- dore Roosevelt which often renders him the victim of his Swhims and pre- judices: which has caused him, on more than one occasion In the last six years. to adopt the wishes of certain negro as against the judgment and dis- cernment of the most trusted lieuten- ants of his own race and color.
 The man who had the delegates to deliver in 1904, and who. with the help of his friends, made up score of twenty-five for the Roosevelt ticket from this State. Is former Congress man W. F. Aldrich of the Fourth Ala bama District. It is an open secret Roosevelt few years back at the be- hest of Booker T.. Washington and others; that he thereupon set about to frustrate the administration program in Alabama, and that he has succeeded beyond his fondest dreams.
 In 1902 the Republican party in this State was split in twain by two fac tions respectively known as the Lilly Whites" and the Black and Tans." It had been the honest belief of leading men for several years that white Re- publican party in the South would att tract to It's fold many prominent and conservative Democrats who had been openly against their own party in na- tionai politics ever since the Bryan campaign of 1896. The movement i'm. mediately gained the support of many prominent Republicans.
 Roosevelt at first approved of the plan of the Lilly Whites" and sent Sem ator Pritchard of North Carolina down here in 1902 to whoop up the project. Coming direct from a conference with the President at Oyster Bay. Pritchard was entertained at banquet by the Republican leaders In this city and made an address In their convention. pouring out the oil of executive glad
