The Lace Oressees.

Lace dressing has been considered a
necessarily unhealthful occupation on
account Of the intense heat required to
be maintained in the room. In some
cases the temperature exceeds 100 de-
grees F. and much. moisture il evapo-
rated from the wet fabric. The evil
dence brought forth at a recent inves-
tigation In England, however. shows 1t
to be an exceedingly heaIthful pursuit
New workers are often temporarily up
set at the beginning by the high tenn.
perature, but no cases could be found
where health had broken down. On
the contrary. some ailments-colds. for
instance-were found less prevalent
among lace dressers than among the
workers In other b.anchea1 Of the In
dustry. Time keepers books showed
few absences from illness. No special
tendency toward lung diseases could
be found. Notwithstanding that most Of
the workers lived in poor and insani-
tary localities and led irregular lives.
Many lace dressers now enjoy vigorous
old age after doing this work from
childhood.-Indianapoiis News.

Mortality in the Senate.

The number of details in the

ginning of this Congress has been
unusual and startling. The two
venerable Senators from Alabama

recess. Stephen R.. Mallory, of
Florida, succumbed to illness on:
December %, 1907. Ashbury c.
Latimer, of South Carolina, died on
February 20, 1908; Redfield Proctor
of Vermont, on March 4; William
Pinkney Whyte, of Maryland, the
Nestor of the Senate, on March II,
and William J. Bryan, of Florida,
on March %. Mr.. Bryan was the
youngest member of the Senate and
had served less than three months,
while Mr.. Whyte was the oldest,
had served in the Senate at three
different periods and had entered
the upper house before any of his
C ,lleagues,
Seven deaths within the year in
a body with only ninety-two MEM
bers make a remarkable mortality
record. Applied in the House of
Representatives, such ratio would
involve the loss of thirty members.
Yet the House rarely loses by death
in one Congress more than ten or
twelve members.

OUR FUTURE POLICY.

Since the death of Mr.. Starks, who
was to The Advocate what he was
to so many interests-the mainstay
and guiding power-many inquiries
as to whether the paper would be
continued and its future policy have
reached this Office.
To the first question the answer Is
Yes. Mere words will not suffice;
therefore. we shall not attempt to
express what The Advocate lost the
night Mr.! Starks passed into the
great Beyond. 1t seemed to us in
the first hours OF woe that his re-
QUEEN would also be that Of this pa
per, which owes everything it is to
his initiative and support. Bot rea=
son reasserted herself, and, though
fer time discouraged, We realize
that ours is the duty to carry on the
work SO untimely interrupted.
The race, at this time, can i'll af-
ford to dispense with any agency to
advocate it's cause at the bar of pub
lie opinion. 1T must still nave a me
dium Of its own through which may
be communicated from one to the
otheE.~ the achievements which. find
no place in the white press. This
has been the aim of the Advocate in
the past and this will be our policy
in the future. Our politics, as in the
past, will be republican so long as
it appears to the management that
the best interests Of the race are con-
served by adherence to the policies
Of that party. To religious denomi-
nations, secret and other societies
business enterprises and all agencies
which tend to the uplift Of the peo-
pie we represent, our columns will
continue open for publication of le-
Ultimate news. If there is an aubse
to be corrected or a meritorious deed
TO be commended, it will be our
pleasure to give it publicity.
In other words, the present man
aSement. will endeavor to keep the
Advocate upon the same high plane
which has made for it a name among
Negro newspapers. But we can not
do this unaided. We must have the
support, not merely talk, mind you,
but the financial support OF our read
ers. We shall expect every subscrib-
er TO pay promptly upon the receipt
OF his bill. The new postal regula-
tons make it. incumbent upon pub
| fishers of wecklies to discontinue
the papers Of all who are more than
year behind in their subscription
