BISHOP GRANTS VIEWS.

We publish below a special tel
egram from the New York World
to Bishop A. Grant asking his
views on the political situation.
The Bishop as usual gives his
views in a frank fearless manner:
Copy of Telegram)
New York, July II, 1908,
Bishop Abraham Graut,
532 Washington Ave-,
Kansas City, Kans.
We will be very grateful if you
will telegraph at our expense your
views on the coming campaign as
it affects your people. What affect
will the Brownsville matter have
upon the candidacy of Taft !?
Democratic platform is about as
the Republican plank, demanding
equal justice and suffrage for the
colored people. What is the prob
able sentiment of your people con-
cerning Bryan and the principles
he advocates? Wire at any length
you desire. Thank you in advance.
Editor of the World.
(Answer)
Editor of The World,
New York City.
In the estimation of the color
ed people, as far as 1 know, Mr..
Bryan is regarded as being fair
minded. Many of the principles
that he represents and his late
declarations are acceptable, but the
disposition of Democrats, where
they control state governments, to
disfranchise the colored voters
makes his party Objectionable.
Considering the treatment of that
party in the past, the declaration
in the platform is too general.
One scarcely knows how to con-
strue it. Had they been more
definite, the results in the election
would be more pronounced in their
favor. When it is thoroughly un-
derstood that Mr.. Taft held up the
Brownsville order and at the same
time asked the president to post
pone action, it will give him
strength with the colored voters.
A. GRANT.

Albany, Ga, July 17.-In spite
of his own prediction made several
months ago that adverse weather
conditions had hurt his first bale"
prospects for this season, Deal l..
jackson, Dougherty county's well
known Negro farmer, broght in the
first bale of 1908 cotton this after
noon. He beats last years record
by two days. Deal Jackson has
been the first bale" farmer of
Georgia for twelve or fifteen years,
and during that time has not lost
his title for even one season.

Washington, July 16.-A cru.
SADIE against unclean restaurants
here has resulted in the arrest of
20 proprietors. Only one proprie.
tor was commended for the condi-
ton of his establishment. The
work has just begun under Health
Officer Woodland and all of the 649
eating establishments of the city
will be closely inspected. Out of
102 lunch rooms inspected only
seven were found to be in that con-
dition of cleanliness required by
law One popular eating house,
that feeds hundreds daily and was
supposed to be extra clean, was
said by the health officer to have
the foulest kitchen and the worst
sanitary conditions he ever saw.
The next surprise was made in a
3 and 10 cent oyster and clam shop
kept by colored man, which DR..
Motter, chief inspector, said was
the cleanest place imaginable.
The floor, DR.. Motter said was
scrubbed SO clean it looked too
good to walk on.

st. Louis, -"Speak softly
and carry big stick seems to be
the policy of the colored people in
the northwest section of St. Louis,
better known as Elliotsville. The
Board of Education was preparing
to move the high school from its
present location to the more desir-
able one in Elliotsville when a few
uneducated Negro hating white
people filed protest against the
building of the school and these
same ungrateful white people were
depending on the colored people
for a living, most of them being
merchants. But the table was
turned, and the self. respecting col
ored people have declared boy
colt on every merchant who signed
the petition and already some of
them are facing failure and the
colored merchants business is i'm
proving. This is the right way to
teach respect; when they discrimi-
nate, let the colored people dis
criminate with their dollars.

Beaumont, Texas. July 20.-As
the result of excitement coming
from the alleged attempted assault
on young white girl, two Negro
amusement parks in the North
End of the city, near the scene of
the crime were last week set on
fire and burned to the ground.
Fully 1000 people were attracted
by the flames. There is intense
feeling against the Negroes and an
outbreak would not be surprising
Po7ses are still in the woods
searching for the Negro, but as far
as has been learned in Beaumont
nothing leading to a trace of the
Negro has been found. The Off
GERS are arresting all idle Negroes.
The damage by fire is about $4,000.
Rockford, ILL.,, July 1S.-Isaac

Man anufacturers' National Bank, ac-
cording to the police, stole $4,000
from the bank vault this forenoon.
Bess carried off the money in a
satchel when the bank closed at
IL 30 for the half holiday. The
robbery was discovered few min
utes after, and three hours later
Chief of Police Bargen found Bess
hiding at the home of Lew Harris,
in the western part of the city.
All of the money was recovered.
He told the police he took the
money because he needed it. In
addition to the package containing
$4,000 Bess took S42O in unsigned
currency, to part of which he had
forged the name of N. F. Thomp.
