support of many of his hearers. Mr..
Browne followed with short adj
dress TO the voters, thanking them for
the many assurances of support he
had received. Hon. W. Hunt Harris

Taft's Needless
Preachrnent.

Now that Foraker is out of the way
and has acknowledged defeat, there
is really no reason why candidate
Taft should abase himself TO an I'M
usual degree in order to get the sup
port of the negro delegates from the
south in the Chicago convention. But
he came very near doing SO in his
speech in Brooklyn on Monday night
when he denounced the salutary laws
in the southern states for restricting
the suffrage and talked in lugubrious
strain about the long history of suf-
fering and misfortune" TO which the
negroes had been subjected in this
country.
If Mr.. Taft would sink the parti-
san and the office-seeker III the phi
losopher, the statesman and the i'm
partial student of history he would
know that the negroes in this coun-
try have been pre-eminently the most
fortunate of all races in their eyolu-
ton from barbarism. and that the
tutelage Of slavery in these south
ern states rooted 50 many of the
virtues of the white race in their
primitive natures that those virtues
thus Implanted constitute today the
sure foundation and the best work
ing capital of the negro race in
America
A suffrage for which they were
unfit, and all the other crimes OF
radical republicanism envenomed by
war, perpetrated in the cause of the
negro, have not been able to eradi-
cate that inheritance of slavery, and
the southern negro is most contented,
most prosperous, most law-abiding and
at his best today where those quail
ties of morality, industry and self-re-
straint inculcated by his -servitude
have been permitted to flower and
bear fruit without the officious inter
ference of the negrophils and his i'm
practicable theories.

That Fearful Primary Ticket.

That Fearful Primary Ticket.
The coming primary ballot will >be
most fearfuliy and wonderfully made.
Nothing like it has ever been seen by
a Florida vote before. and We hope
its like will never be seen again The
ticket ought to be tWo-thirds short
er than it will be, and if by another
election steps are not taken to short
en- it by leaving off National, state
and county committeeman we shall
favor having a separate box for coun-
ty officials, and let the others take
their chances.-Bronson Times-Dem-
ocrat.
The complaint of the Times Demo
crat is well founded. Delegates to
the national convention and presiden
tial electors should also be omitted
from the primary ballot, the same
being elected by a state convention
which should promulgate platform
of principles for the state democracy.
The ballot in the. May primary should
not be SO cumbersome as heretofore,
however. as the law has been amend
ed permitting the printing of names
of candidates in parallel columns. in
stead of on a long string of paper.
Few country printers have been able
TO print the election tickets in the
past. but they can be printed in any
county in the state under the new
law.-GainesVille Sun

SLACK STRONG MAN
AS a Candidate for U. S. Sen
ate He Is Getting Many
Pledges.
LABOR UNIONS LIKE HIM.

Indianapolis, Nov. 23.-One of the
marked developments in the senator
ial race is the growing strength of l..
Ert Slack of Franklin. who believes
Senator Hemenway's political shoes
are just his size. Politicians who have
analysed the situation say three ele-
ments are contributing to Mr.. Stacks
senatorial stature. They see it this
way:
The labor unions are favorably i'm
pressed with Stacks record.
AS young man he appeals to the
younger element of the democracy.
He is receiving many pledges Of sup
port from the school teachers of the
state
II have always been friendly to or
ganized labor when measures effect
ing it's interests came up in the SEN
ate," said Mr.. Slack, land have new
er changed my stand. have always
stood by the labor union boys and
believe their support in the senatorial
race will be beneficial to my candi-
dacy."
Mr. Slack is beginning to receive
pledges of support from school teach
-ers over the state. The school teach
ers threw him no little aid when he
went before the democratic state con-
vention as candidate for governor.
There are Indications that the
younger element Of the democratic
party throughout Indiana will lend
some support to Slack. Mr. Hoffman,
being young man, is also looked up
on with favor by the younger element
Of the party. Slack is "a years of age
and Mr.. Hoffman is 81. Frank e. Her.
ing of South Bend. another of the can
didates, is also a young man and will
get support from the younger men.

Very busy was she in those days,

A KID POLICEMAN.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.

Chief OF Police Richmond Of Council
Bluffs, Ia, has a novel method for re-
forming unruly and mischievous boys
without the aid of juvenile court In
q word, this Is his recipe:
Make a policeman of the boy!

wants to join. Juvenile crime has al
most disappeared, and young men

ranks of the boys.
Nearly every normal boy wants to be

On that desire Richmond has built
his law and order force Of youthful 20

The force includes street arabs,

from the best homes. 1t is changed

no heavier disgrace than to be arrested

act which Immediately made him a

Compilations Are Cleared and Pimples
Disappear Overnight Without
Trouble.
The dispensers of poslam, a new
skin discovery, ask that notice be CIV
en- that no one is urged to purchase
it without first obtaining an expert
mental package. Those who have
tried 1t will find that the fifty-cent
box, on sale at w. H. Sudhoff's and
all drug stores, is sufficient to cure
the worst cases of eczema, where the
surface, affected is not too large. The
itching ceases on first application. It
will also cure acne, letter, blotches
scaly scalp, hives, BARRIERS and every
other form of itch, including itching
feet. Being flesh-colored and contain
ing no grease, the presence of poslam
on exposed surfaces, such as the face
and hands, is not perceptible. Water
and soap cannot be used in connee-
ton with it, as these irritate and pro-
long skin troubles. sometimes even
causing them.
AS to the experimental package of
poslam, 1t can be had free of charge
by mail of the Emergency Laborator-
les. 80 West Twenty-fifth Street, New
York. It alone is sufficient to clear
the complexion overnight, and to rid
the face of pimples in twenty-four
hours
