 .aThe independence party is, therefore, a conservative force in American pontlcs, devoted to the preservation Of Amerlcan liberty and independence, to honesty Tn elections to opportunity in business' ana 10 equality before the law. Those who believe in the independence party ana work with it, are convinced that gen. nine democracy should exist; that true republican form of government should continue: that the power of the govern ment should rest with the majority or the people, and that the government should be conducted for the benefit of the whole citizenship, rather than for the special advantages of any particular class
 Direct Nominations.
 "As of first importance in order to re- store the power of government to the people, to make their will supreme in the primaries, in elections and in the control of public officials, after they have been elected, we declare for direct nomina- tions the initiative and referendum, and the right of recall. It is idle to cry out against the evil of bosssm, while we perpetuate a sys- tenn under which the boss Is inevitable. The destruction of an individual boss 1s of little value. The people in their poll tics must establish system which will eliminate not only an objectionable boss, but the system of bossism.
 The Referendum.
 We believe in the principle of the initi- ative and referendum, and we particular ly demand that no franchise grant go into operation until the terms and conditions have been approved by popular vote in the locality interested.
 The Recall.
 We demand for the pople the right to recall public officials from the public service The power to make officials re- sides in the people and in them also should reside the power to unmake and remove from office any official who demonstrates his unntness or betrays the public trust. Corrupt Practices at Elections.
 Of next importance in destroying the power of selfish special interests, and the corrupt political bosses whom they con- trol. is to wrest from their hands their main weapon, the corruption fund. We demand severe and effective legislation against all forms of corrupt practices at elections and advocate prohibiting the use of any money at elections except for meetings. literature and the necessary travelling expenses of candidates. Bidding for votes, the republican and democratic candidates are making an outcry about publicity of contributions, although both the republican and democratic parties have for years consistently blocked every effort to pass corrupt practice act Economy.

INTERESTING FACTS ON
 ANCIENT STATE HISTORY

Washington, July 2S-(Special.) .)-Direc- tor North of the census bureau today made an announcement that will be of much interest in the south.
 About a year ago Congress authorized him to publish, during the fiscal year 1907, the names of heads of families, with related data, secured upon the schedules of the first census of the Unit ed States, 17so, and that under that au- thority he announced the publication of the returns for three states: New Hamp- shire, Vermont and Maryland. the re- sources of the bureau not being suffi- cient to complete these publications.
 During the session of Congress just closed authority was granted MT. North to continue the publication of the returns for the remaining states for which records are in existence during the pres ent fiscal year. Accordingly the returns for Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and South Carolina have been compiled and are now in press.
 In addition to the above the state rec ords of Virginia for 17S2 to 17S5 have been obtained from the state government ana will he used in lieu of census returns.
 Director North, in accordance with the law will have to charge s1 each for these pamphlets, but they will be handsomely

Is the Black Man Disappearing.

! The real negro question in the
south is that the white people do
not believe that it would be advan-
tageOus for civilization and American
/ institutions to permit the general
amalgamation of the white and ne
gro blood, and they cherish this
view with intense bitterness and
prejudice on account of past tradi-
tons, and exclude the negro from
social equality with white men. 1t
is not merely political tradition: it
is not merely economic conditions.
1t is a race instinct. and is especially
held by The women OF the south,
that If the negro were admitted TO
join IN everything socially and equal
Is wi. the white man, nothing could
prevent the amalgamatiOn o. the
blood of the two races. That ANAL
gamati0n they 10 not believe to be
for the highest interest OF the South
and the civilization of the white
American nation.
However notwithstanding this at
temnt u the white people of the
south r. exclude the negro from So
cfal equality with white meu and 10
prevent the intermarriage OF blacks
and writes. the negro is fast disap-
pear ne. As years go by the popula-
ton Of re frill-b1ooded negro of the
American population is rapidly and
surely Increasing.

call from the big house that IL was
bed time Bud and | would wash our
feet and then 80 to bed, to be awak-
ened with the birds early in the morn
ing. We would go to bed tired and
worn out in both body and mind and
sleep the sleep of just men. We did
not need a rocker to be soothed TO
sleep in. When the chickens began
to crow we would hear Mr.. Adams
calling for us from the foot of the
stairs, and up we would get. Sunday
morning we would have to look af-
ter the feeding of the stock. When
that was done, We would use the cur
ry comb and brush. This would
bring us TO breakfast time. After
breakfast we would bathe again, put
on our best bib and tucker and then
walk a mile to the church for Sun
day school and stay until after the
sermon, if IL was either the first or
third Sunday in the month. We would
sit up through the long tedious SER
mon and invite the preacher home for
dinner. II We We're the fortunate ones
! TO get him to come with us we would
ride back home with the preacher.
The Sunday dinner was usually a
good one, and fried chicken, vcgeta-
bles and pie would fly. Instead OF
coffee we would drink milk. After din.
ner the preacher, Mr. Adams and the
neighbors would come over and talk
politics and neighborhood gossip, II
we happened not to be the lucky ones
to get the parson to dine, all OF
us would walk over the plantation
and inspect the crops and see where
the fences needed repairing, and find
out the cause of that break or this
break. Sometimes the neighbors
would come over and then politics
would be the subject of conversation
with our elders, while Bud and | usu
ally visited some OF the girls in the
neighborhood and sat up in the corner
and held hands and perhaps stay fol
supper and walk home after candle
light
But, young man, | believe | have
talked enough for one time on tha
subject"
Colonel, tell us what you thinl
about the candidacy OF Bryan as com
pared with the candidacy of Taft
and what party do you think viii
be the successful one in this elec
ton ?"
Boy" I told You one time that
had talked enough for one day, arr
have nothing more to say today, bu
will talk with you next week OF
that score, 'or maybe something else
