Manager Yaughn'S Manly Letter

The letter written from Little Rock TO the Age-Herald and signed by Hac- ry Vaughn explains in simple but force ful terms the conditions that confront him. It's very earnestness and nat uralness render it convincing. The ambitious or discontented baseball player is even more difficult to man. age than the cratic actor, and the latter is enough to try the patience of a modern Job. Manager Vaughn has two would-be managers to contend with, not to mention whatever follow ing they may possess. Among 15 base ball players a great deal of politics Is possible, and the Birmingham teaam is without doubt carrying a heavy ratio of it.
 Discipline will be come easy in the team if the association and the patrons of the game will get behind Manager Vaughn. All loose and really silly talk concerning hic displacement should be weeded out, and everybody should sup port the manager. A statement to that effect from the pen of President Baugh would be helpful and salutary. Once let the team know that Manager Vaughn has come to stay to the end of the season, insubordination will hide its diminished head, and the manager himself will be able to place his fin gers on what is left of 1t. A lesson or two vigorously applied would restore discipline. Manager Vaughn is the man to do it. He is ruggedly honest him self, and all he lacks is support at home. He is hard fighter and he will prove an effective fighter against internal weakness if his hands are properly strengthened.

MT. Bryan'S Increasing Strength

The floods in the Trinity river could not restrain the Texas democrats from meeting on Tuesday last to instruct their 36 delegates to vote first, last and all the time for William Jennings Bry- an. The New York Herald, in its po- litical review of last Sunday, put the Bryan vote at that time at 487 When we add 36 votes to this we have 523 votes, and this number includes no del egate from New York or other unin- structed states. There are yet to be elected 188 delegates, and scarcely one of them will be an anti-Bryan man. The number necessary for a choice is 627, and long before the convention meets in July MT. Bryan will have se- cured that number. He really has no opponent.
 In view of the plain situation, all democrats will fall into line. All will become warm supporters of the Ne braskan. The democracy can win if they will pull together progressively. It goes without saying that the new national committee will select cam paign committee that will throw them selves into the fight with all their strength and skill. We need an active outspoken, aggressive campaign on Bryanesque lines. Our standard bear CT should be permitted to give shape and form to party action. But most desirable of all is an united support on the part of all who are opposed to Crumpackerism and Dingleyism. A fighting campaign led by fighting men is before us.

TWO SONS.

By Robert Buchanan.
 I have two sons, wife
 Two, and yet the same; One his wild way runs, wife,
 Bringing us to shame. The one is bearded, sunburnt, grim and fights across the sea, The other is a little child who sits upon your knee. VIZ.
 One Is fierce and cold wife
 As the wayward deep;
 Him no arms could hold, wife,
 Him no breast could keep. He has tried our hearts for many year, not broken them; for he Is still the sinless little one that sits upon your knee.
 One may fall in fight. wife
 Is he not our son?
 Pray with all your might wife.
 For the wayward one; Pray for the dark, rough soldier, who fights across the sea, Recause you love the little shade who smiles upon your knee.
 One across the foam, wife,
 As I speak may fall;
 But this one at home, wife,
 Cannot die at all. They both are only one; and how thank full should we be, t We cannot lose the darling son who sits upon your knee!

It will be noticed that Philadelphia has the largest proportionate number of ne- groes of any northern city in the list, and that Milwaukee has the smallest per centage. In several of the smaller north ern cities, however, the blacks are rela- lively more numerous than in the Penn sylvania metropolis. They constitute 9.4 per cent of Indianapolis population, 65 of that of Columbus O.; 12.7 of that of Evansville, Ind, and 234 per cent of that of Atlantic City. Large as New Yorks total blacks is, their proportion here in Providence (2.7 per cenD is 50 per cent larger In the city of Carlo, H.. the negroes form nearly 40 per cent of the total. But Mound City, in the same state, stands at the head of all northern cities as a negro town, over 43 per cent of its population being of Af- rican descent, while Woonsocket, which only boasted of G. all told has the small est percentage among American cities.

Mir, Taft'S Dear Burrows Letter

MT. Bryan asked Mir Taft to join him in direct petition to Congress to pass a campaign publicity bill. MT. Taft declined to do this, although he could readily induce 30 republicans to re- inforce the democrats in the House when they could pass the desired bill. He declined to call on 30 friends in the House to support campaign publicity bill unencumbered by federal cleo ton bill. A publicity bill pure and simple is desired, and the addition of the negro question to 1t is evasive, demagogical and exceedingly tricky. Ex-Senator William B. Chandler of New Hampshire, republican, charac- terizes the attempt in proper terms.
 MT. Taft's reply to MT. Bryan is as pvasive as the action of the House.
 He refuses to petition Congress to Aass . campaign publicity bill either

THE NEGRO IN OUR CITIES.
How Increase In the South Compares
 With That In the North.
From the Providence Journal.

From the Providence Journal.
 Since 1880 the city of Washington, which now includes the whole of the Dis triet of Columbia. has had the distine- ton of containing the largest negro pop ulation of any city in the country. Resi- dents declare to visitors that there are l5o000 blacks there, and that they con- stitute nearly one-half of the population police census of Washington. just com- pleted, finds, out of total population of SSs, 40S, 241, ,920 whites and 97,4S3 colored. As the Mongolians and Indians there numbered less than 300 in 1900, it may be assumed that the negroes themselves make total of nearly 97,000. or about S.7 per cent of the city's inhabitants.
 This is by no means a large propor- tion for a southern city. AS it is. the blacks in Washington have diminished relatively to the whites since 1900, when they constituted 31.1 per cent of the ln- habitants. The number of negroes in cities of 3O0,O0O inhabitants and over at the last three censuses and their percent age of the population of each in 1900 Is shown by the appended table:

To Chattanooga and Back.

James J. O'Rourke accompanied by small party. recently made Chattanooga and return in a White line autocar, and considering the condition of the roads, the time was good.
 We left Birmingham Saturday at 6 a. m.,' said MT. O'Rourke, "and arrived in Chattanooga at 1 p. m., the distance travelled being about 164 miles. On re- turning Monday we encountered heavy rain and the time was about F hours The roads were new to me, but now that l have made the trip can repeat it on an eight-hour schedule.
 ''The road from here to Springville- about 30 miles-is all right. From Spring ville to Attalla it Is very bad. There Is some good read between Attalla and Fort Payne, and north of Fort Payne tho roadbed is in excellent condition. When We struck Georgia we found wretched roads, and in Tennessee they were just about as bad, until we got within eight Chattanooga is first class. We hear a great deal about poor roads in Alabama but, as I have indicated our roads for part of the way were good. Alabama certainly makes a fine showing compared with the sections of Georgia and Tennes- see through which we passed
 Tn making the run from Birmingham 10 Chattanooga we stopped for dinner and stopped again to catch a team of run away horses In a lonely part of the country we came unexpectedly upon a wayside church where POO persons were gathered in the graveyard. No funeral service was in progress, but the people seemed to have been at work cleaning up the cemetery. They and their teams were lot used to automobiles, for our car frightened them. Everything except the car went up into the air. There was q great scattering, but fortunately one was hurt. It was the only incident of the trip out of the ordinary"

Warmth and Moisture In the Fields

The weather at present consists of rains and hot spells, and the fields of corn and cotton are thriving amaz- ingly. The cotton crop is now well advanced. Not enough rain is expect cd to fill the fields with grass, and the entire outlook is encouraging.
 The corn crop is likewise promising, for what Is good for cotton is good as a rule for corn. A large yield of corn is very desirable this year in the south, and the hope is entertained dt present that Alabama will nearly grow the corn she needs. If our Farmers could be induced to accept the im- proved methods of culture presented in local object lessons by the federal department of agriculture. the task of raising the corn we consume wouN be easy.
 Warm weather and normal rainfalls are reported from all parts of this state. On Saturday last the heat was well above normal in all parts of the interior of the state. In some counties . temperature of 97 degrees Fahren- heit was registered, and we may not see warmer weather this summer. But the hot weather was quickly followed by copious rains, and all vegetation Is coming on finely. The Alabama farm CTS are not bit grouchy at present. The rest of the cotton belt, outside of some flooded districts in Texas, is also satisfied with the work of the weather clerk

She sat, like Patience on monument Smiling at grief. Twelfth Night.
Yreeland Wins Out

The compromise bill which the re- publicans are trying to incubate should be called an assets currency bill, for that Is what it is. It authorizes the issue of emergency notes on bonds or commercial paper. The report is worded to convey an idea that bank that desires emergency currency notes must put up both bonds and commer- cial paper, but this is not the compro- mise arrived at A bank can take out bond-secured or commercial paper-se- cured circulation as 1t sees fit. In New York city the recent issue of clearing house notes was based on commercial paper, and any issue un- der the proposed compromise bill would be based on commercial paper without the appearance of enough bonds to wad a gun. The proposed bill is therefore an assets cuIrency bill. The mountain has labored and brought forth an assets mouse.
 The clearing house plan has been retained. It is an important feature of the compromise bill, for all circulation based on commercial paper is to be issued through clearing house associa- tions. which are to be known as cur rency associations. The treasury is, however, to retain 10 per cent of each issue of emergency circulation as redemption fund to aid in paying the depositors of failed banks. This is new departure, but the entire compro- mise bill is a wide departure from the Aldrich bill, and it is possibly a meas ure, therefore, that has some good in 1t for those who do not live in eastern money centers.

with or without MT. Bryan's co-opera- ton. He submits instead an ancient letter directed to My Dear MT. Bur rows" The letter in question was written before the House had attached the negro problem to a campaign pub licity bill, and it does not fit the case at all
 Is Mr. Taft in favor of a publicity bill stripped of the negro problem? That's the question. Thus far he has dodged the issue, but his lodging will deceive no one.
 William Howard Taft and all the ether republican leaders intend to do nothing that will initiate against the carrying of another election by the use of an immense slush fund. They will pose, but they will pass nothing that will be embarrassing to the future Cor telyous of the party. Taft was eya- sive as the House leaders. All are tar red with one stick-the slush stick, the handle of which sticks out in Wall street.
