WHERE THE NEGRO MAY BE
 NEEDED.

Congressman Livingston, represent ing a Georgia district. has astonished his naighbors and raised a storm. of criticism by calling upon his constitu- ents to vote against the proposed con- stitutional amendment designed to dis franchise the negroes of Georgia. His point of view is that, as between the political influence of the negro and that of the poor white trash" the wise Georgian should not hesitate to permit the former to be exerted with out any more restriction than Is at present imposed on it. In the whole sale reduction Of the negro vote ex- pected from the constitutional amend ment this Georgia statesman sees the evil of a correspondingly increased po- litical consequence accruing to the class which additionally even the ne- gro despises. Georgia is the native heath of Mir Thomas E. Watson, and he and his following do not appeal to CchBA c'SIiie'ii A-iN i59tOA do uSSh eiDie' rulers for the state of Georgia. He sees a lively prospect of such rule if the negroes are practically all dis franchised. This is about the first public expression that has come from a prominent southerner in opposition to numerous disfranchisement pro- jects; but it may be, after these have been operated for a period of years. that the south may discover other CO., gent reasons for regretting that they were ever adoDted

The Earth Hour.

The Earth Hour. The earth was made in twilight. and
 the hour Of blending dusk and dew is still her own. Soft as it comes with promise and
 with cower of folded heavens. lately sunset blown. Then we who know the bitter breath Of earth, Who hold her every rapture for pain. Yet leave the travail of celestial birth To wipe our tears upon the dusk again But vain: the spirit takes, in sovereign mood, A sure revenge, as in some tree apart A whippoorwill sets trembling all the wood The silence mends more quickly than the heart. -Chas. l..

NAVY DEPART
MENT SCANDAL
The President Starts a Searching
Investigation

WASHINGTON. July 2O.-Pros-
poets are that a row in the navy de-
partment is due that will make the
Reuterdahl- Capps-Converse upheaval
of this spring appear tame. The dis
turbance is expected Wednesday
when the president and distinguish
ed gathering of naval officers viii
meet at the navy war college at New
port. Criticism of the new battleship
North Dakota will be the subject and
the president is determined to get to
the bottom OF the facts.
n the ships are being constructed
on wrong lines he intends to call a
halt on further plans along these
lines, and the clash of bureaus that
will ensue in that event will be aug
mented by the crashing of the big
stick on ancient custom. Great pre-
cautions are being taken to keep the
public in ignorance OF the discussion.
Keys Report Starts II.
The first topic to be taken up, and
the real cause for the calling of the
conference. is the report of Com
mander Key to the president, In
which he made sweeping criticism of
the North Dakota. sister ship of the
Delaware. These criticisms have
been kept a profound secret. even
from naval officers. II Is accepted
that one of the chief criticisms made
relates to ornaments. The manner
in which the 10 I2-inch guns were
mounted was a matter Of discussion
at the time the plans were drawn.
The bureau OF ordnance at the time
declined to permit any interference
with its plans.
II would surprise few If the pres
ident. in view Of all the circumstan-
ces, abolished the present naval board
on construction and substituted for II
board OF design with wholly diff
ferent membership.
In the opinion Of naval officers
stationed here there is every pros
pect for the greatest row In years In
the department. Il may mean the
deposition OF several Of the older Of
fcers who have run Affairs at their
own sweet will for many years. Al
these officers have friends in high
places the swing OF the presidential
big stick will probably be followed
by a storm OF protest.

FAIRvIEW. LINCOLN. Neb., July
2O.-The statement of Judge William
H. Taft at Hot Springs, Va, yester-
day that the republican national COM
mittee would not accept any contri-
buttons from corporations in his cam
paign was viewed here with more
than ordinary interest. Mr.. Bryan
gave it especial attention. In fact,
so impressed was he with the an
nouncement that he broke his usual
silence and dictated the following
statement:
"We welcome him to this advanced
ground and bid him go further and
announce that all individual eontri-
buttons above a reasonable minimum
will be made known before the cleo

Late last night Frank S. Mon
nett, formerly republican attorney
general of Ohio, who conducted the
prosecutions in that state against the
Standard Oil company, and later was
employed by the interstate commerce
commission to gather material upon
which to base the governments suits.
arrived here and held a lengthy con-
ference with Mr.. Bryan. Mr. Mon
nett announced that 1t is his purpose
actively to support Mr.. Bryan in
Ohio in the coming election and that
he will make speeches in favor of
the democratic ticket.
Mr.. Monnett said he was authoriz-
ed by Mr.. Bryan to state that because
of the governments dereliction in
prosecuting the alleged wool COM
bination, whose headquarters he
claims are in Ohio, Mr.. Bryan had
announced that If elected to the pres
idency he would at once put all the
machinery of the government at
work to destroy any combination
that may exist.
MIR. Bryan and Mr.. Monnett were
agreed that the Sherman antitrust
law as it stands today is sufficient for
any legal action necessary, but that
the government for some unknown
reason refused to act. MIR. Monnett
returned to Lincoln at a late hour and
will depart for his home early to-
morrow morning.

The officers OF the local land ONCE

denee upon the land a. required BY
law; that he was ieweler and car
ried on his business in the town Of
MOSCOW. and that he had, during tho
time he claimed to have resided upon
the land. made Moscow his home.
The contest was heard in April. 1907,
and both parties submitted q vast
mount Of evidence In support OF their
contention. Wallace contended that
his home at Moscow was that Of his
wife that II did not belong TO him.
and that he had no interest what
ever Ia it. that his wife kept roomera.
and IN this manner sought 70 estab-
linh the fact that Moscow could not

OF The land Office, I'd comentlng upon
this bit Of evidence. state that Il
could matter but little and would not
tand Ia show whether Wallace resid-
ed In Moscow or not. that be did not
own the house he lived III. but that
Il belonged TO his wife. and sarcas-
tically remark that II this were true.
and the further fact that his wife
kept roomers and other statements
made by Wallace were true, that u
would appear as though he oguht 10
have found time to be on his home
stead at all t1nes. They then pro-
coed TO state that the evidence con-
clusiyely shows to them that
Wallace never did In good faith
establish a residence upon the land.
and recommend the cancellation of
his entry.
One OF the interesting features In
the case. though Il did not creep cut
In the decision, is the fact that Wal

the issuance of finaI receipt for the
sum OF 10000. and gave a warranty
