Magazines For the Army.

WaSninslOn IlnleS.
 The Woman's Army and Navy League is making additional request for books and magazines to be sent to the sol diers in the Philippines. Alaska, Cuba and far Western posts in the United States. The coming of spring has brought many requests from these sta tions, particularly from Alaska. and contributions of such literature are re- quested With the practical eye of the Nations housekeepers. members of the league believe, now that the spring housecleaning Is here, there may be an extra allotment of magazines and books for the soldiers.
 The genuine pleasure these periodl- calls give the soldiers is not to be dis counted. They read them eagerly, each finding a sort of message from home within the pages One lot is torn thumb marked. and almost worn out before another assortment arrives, and the men of the garrison look eagerly for the incoming transport that will bring fresh maRazineG

TUESDAY. APRIL 14, 1908.
IT WAS DIFFERENT.

If the accounts we have seen were correct, the Republican State conven- ton held at Lynehburg. Va. last week, was something unique in the history of that party in the South. For one thing it was not bossed and dominated by Federal ofIce-hoIders. This of itself was enough to mark it as something entirely different from the ordir.>ry run of such assemblages. As a general proposition in most of the States which the ofice-holders are so much in evid- ence that these assemblages have in a nun1br of instances been referred to as noflceholders' conventions" but the Virginia one was an exception.
 Another peculiar thing about 1t was that the negroes had nothing to do with the proceedings. There were a few negro delegates in the hall but they were given to understand that they were there to be seen, not heard. "Shut up and sit down" was about the order given them by the white brethren. and when one of them wanted to discuss some matter before the convention he was informed that he must go before a committee if he want ed to say anything. All this leads The Hartford. (Conn.). Times to say-and we quote its words without comment as showing how New England Demo- cratic newspaper looks at political af- fairs down here;
 The Republican Party in the South ern States Is now taking the same at titude toward the negro race that the Democrats Hook long ago. The f1t- ness or the right of the black man to ment is regarded as non-existent. and the white Republicans who take this position are all the supporters of the possible in view of this fact, for any negro voter to favor either of them?
 It is true that the newspapers yes ter to the Interstate Commerce Com mission suggesting that injunctions be sought against one Southern railroad to compel 1t to furnish as good ac- vides for white passengers. There is no national Jim Crow" car law. and the Interstate Commerce com mission has no authority whatever over the matter. Even if it had such au- thority it would puzzle Mir. Roosevelt or anybody else to explain how a rail- injunction to do something 1t has neg Iected to do. But Mir. Roosevelt cares little for the niceties of the law. Per- haps he thinks that railroad can just as easily be enJoined from not doing a thing as from doing it. His letter is pure buncombe, or bunk" to use the new and briefer slang.
 the subject of Jim Crow cars will be likely to diminish the feeling of the negroes in the country that Mir. Roose- welt and MT. Taft are at heart in sym pathy with the Lilly White' Republi- can leaders of the South and that should Mir. Taft become President, the black man will be of smaller account politically in this country than he has been st any time since slavery was abolished.

Make the Farm Attractive.
CentrevilIe Press.

CentreVille Press.
 When the farmer so manages his farm that it will pay, then his sorN and daughters will be willing to stay on the farm. When a boy rises at day light, out of an unattractive room, throws the blow gear, on an old poor mule, and goes to the field, full of stumps and roots, and looks in the flu tture, it is enough to discourage him. him that you love him. confide and consult with him as to proposed Improvements. Let mother and sister fix him up a nice neat room. and don't stint him too close with money. He will soon take an interest in home and home affairs. and will develop into business farmer and useful citizen. Every farmer can be a prominent citizen. but not all farmers can be politicians. Be poli- tician enough to take interest in politi- cal affairs and vote for men who you think best qualified for office. Take your county paper into your home and read 1t. take a magazine and occa- sionally buy a good book. Take an interest in what interests your boys and girls. The farm life can and should be made attractive.

ROOseveIt's Five Citizen Guests Are
 Democrats.

Washington Special.
 Here's list of five names which may comprise President Roosevelt's idea of the five foremost citizens in private life in the United States:
 Grover Cleveland, William J. Bryan, Andrew Carnegie. James J. Hill and John Mitchell.
 These men have received personal invitations from the President to at tend the notable conference of Govern ors of all the States, cabinet officials, Justices of the Supreme Court. leading members of Congress and members of the Inland Waterways Commits sion, which is to be held at the White House in Washing ton the week of May 10. No other pri- vate citizens have been thus honored.
 It is noted as decidedly interesting that every man in the list is a Demo- crat. Two are among the richest men in the world; one has been President and another is liable one day to be President the last man on the list is a leader of labor, a few years ago a boy in the mines picking the slack from the coRAz

 Chicago Special to New Orleans Times
 Democrat.
 Senator Hopkins returned from Washington today to give few hours attention to his campaign for re-elect- lion. He expressed the opinion that Com gress, before adjourning in May, would pass a bill revising the tariff on wood pulp thereby reducing the exorbi- tant price of the paper trust. ator, Speaker Cannon is much in favor of such bill. and as eight Republicans are reported to have joined with the Democrats. the measure seems likely to get through the House. The Senate wants the bill passed, but unfortu- nately can not originate Legislation along that line. However. the Senate will probably rush it through if the House sends 1t oVer."
