DETECTIVES MASKED
TO INSPECT CROOKS

PHILADELPHIA, March 16.-Crooks
are just about as good at remembering
faces OF detectives as detectives are at
remembering faces of the crooks, ana
that's why the detectives and special
policemen at City Hall are wearing
masks now wnen they look over pris-
oners.
Assistant superintendent OF Police
OLeary instituted the inspection OF
crooks some time ago. The purpose is
that the pIainclothes men viii know
their faces the better when they are
looking for them IN the future. But
it dawned on the authorities that while
the detectives were looking the crooks
over the crooks, too. were using their
eyes. that in the future when they saw
"cop" coming they could hunt some
place Of hiding
When the prisoners are lined up for
Inspection they viii face A row OF
masked men and the only way they will
be able 10 tell one detective from an
other will be from the size Of the shoes

BIGGER THAN EVER.
A Sunday School Commentary That
is Worthy of Note.

~ WOTtny OF NotSs
There is being mailed out in large
numbers the 1909 issue of the Ma
tional Baptist Sunday School Les
son Commentary. The book this
year runs over four hundred pages
and is easily the superior of any OF
its predecessors. 1t seems that the
members Of the National Bap-
fist Publishing Board have
doubled their energy and their
efforts to make this book what the
Sunday School superintendent, teach
ers and advanced scholars need, a
complete, suggestive, illustrated and
comprehensive commentary on the
lessons. Not only this, but it is evil
dent that the book is Of invaluable
service to ministers of the COS.
pei. 1t aids in the preparation of
their sermons by the facts and
the Biblical research to be found
within it. The contents of the book
are the preface, Sunday School
methods, introduction for each quar-
ter and an Introduction to each les
son. There is an exposition follow
ing the lessons with special truths
cleaned from the lesson, hints for the
primary teachers with an array OF
questions. There are three beauti-
full colored maps. Most of the les
sons are illustrated Attention will
no doubt be attracted to the lesson

DOLLS ALL THE YEAR.
The Negro Doll Company Announces
Its Plan For the New Year.

Most progressive business con-
Germs begin to MAKE preparations
for the New Year, or for the next sea-
son, long before the other one ex-
pires. This is especially true with
we'll regulated concerns. The Negro
Doll Company of this city has en-
joyed a tremendous patronage, hav-
ing sent dolls to the leading cities
in all parts of the United States, from
the extreme North, up into Michigan
in one direction, to the most South
ern part of Florida in another direc-
ton; from Massachusetts on the
East to San Francisco, Cal, on the
West and Spokane, Wash, in the
Northwest. They propose to make
extensive preparations and begin for
the coming season of 19UJ-1910. The
people throughout have manifested
the greatest interest in this compa-
ny. Letters have come in by the
hundreds endorsing the idea and
commencing the more, so much so
that the company has perfected plans
by which every home throughout the
country can have a doll. Not every
person will be satisfied even though
they do not have a doll during the
holidays. The orders will come in
and be filled all during the month of
January There will be large sup
ply of dolls on hand during the first
of the year to meet these demands.
The Negro is fast learning to order
what he wants and await its arrival.
One new feature of the doll idea is
that the people have waited with pa.
thence the filling of their orders so
that there are dolls in the home. as
silent, but constant companion to
the children which is satisfaction
to the mother and pleasure to the
father.

A WHOLESALE MURDERER.

That fellow Latura, the wholesale
murderer who walked into a colored
saloon in Memphis and coolly pull
ing his pistol deliberately shot to
death four men without warning or
provocation, is now playing the in
sane racket game. When arraigned
recently in the Criminal Court he re-
fused to say word as to why he had
committed his dastardly crime. U.s.
ually when a Negro takes a single
life, not to say two or three, every
old lexicon, dictionary, or reference
book is brought into requisition that
suitable nouns and qualifying adiec-
tives may be found by which to flaw
him.
But none of the unusal scurrilous
language used toward Negro criminals
is found in the press reports of the
hellish deed of that Memphis "angel."
Had he not cheated the gallows by
heinS freed of the responsibility for
two prior murders, it would now be
a physical impossibilty for him to
stand charged for four others, of
which he is likely to be freed on &C.
count of his victims being Negroes,
after which he can go on slaughtering
them till the crack of doom, whatever
that may mean

must be raised to $1,0O0O0O it is
said, if the work is to be done in a
first-class manner. OF course the
legislature will have to pass an en-
abling act authorizing the issuance
of the additional bonds. If we do not
pay these bonds coming generations
will be compelled to pay them. What
matters it then if We can keep up
the interest until we answer the
final roll call? Such legacies have
come to us, and rule that does not
work both ways is no rule at all.
Let the bonds be issued so that the
two new gateways between the two
Nashvilles may be opened to traffic.

FORTY YEARS "l HOTELS.

Forty years of actual service with
not more than ten days of absence
from duty on account of sickness or
pleasure, with a record that has not
been surpassed if equaled. This re-
markable fact was brought out last
week by Globe reporter who was in
conversation with Mr.. c. A. Allen, of
1873 Fourteenth avenue, North Hardee
street,. Mr.. Allen has this envious
record to his credit He is practi-
cally the best known hotel man
among travelling men in the city of
Nashville. He and the late Mr..
George Hooper began work about the
same time. Mr.. Allen has put in
thirty-fve years at the Tulane. He
is a man of sterling quality, hav.
ing the respect and esteem of every
management that has been in charge
of this establishment. He is a de.

has reared family that is creditable

PROSPECTIVE DEMOCRATIC
ROW

When members who shall compose
the next General Assembly of the
State of Tennessee meet to effect a
working organization of that body
for the transaction of the peoples
business, there is going to be a Dem
ocratic powwow with all kinds of SEN
sational variations. Yes, there is
trouble ahead and plenty of it, and
when our Solons-the local self-gov-
eminent faction and the state-widers
join battle on the "hill' to try out
their strength for supremacy as to
which side shall control legislation,
there is going to be "a hot time" in
this old town-that day The politi-
cal air is full of mutterings-deep-
mouthed and ominous. The cloud
which appeared on the horizon no
bigger than a mans hand when the
prohibition agitation was started, has
overspread the whole Democratic
sky with an almost impenetrable
gloom through which that party, erst-
while vain and triumphant, can now
scarcely find its way.
The prohibition movement has up
set all Democratic precedents and
thrown that party into almost hope
less confusion, and the bitterest an
imosity and passions have been
aroused by the stubborn contest that
is being waged for the control of leg
islation, specifically with reference
to the liquor traffic. That the party
is on the brink of disruption or a
great radical upheavel there is, from
all indications, little doubt, 1t will
take the best efforts of the party's
greatest leaders to effect anything
like a tentative compromise.
This Democratic family row has
been stirred up over the saloon as
the bone of contention, and to those
who are and can only pc spectators it
will be interesting while it lasts.
The colored citizenship has had no
hand in bringing about this state of
things. There were many of them
who favored Gov. Patterson, but that
was because he had, in their opinion,
made splendid executive. It was
for that reason, rather than any po-
litical issue in which they had no
participation, that taey desired to see
him win.
With a slight change of phraseol.
ogy the words of one of Shake
speare's characters would appropri-
ately size up the present Democrat
ic situation thus: o Democracy. now
is the winter of thy discomfort.

Gov. Patterson won the highest re-

bill whose chief and only aim was to
deprive them of the privileges of a
pleasure resort The whites had
not only one but many breathing
places to which they could repair for
recreation. To have allowed such a
measure to become law without en-

have been a hardship, without any

Executive. He would not stand
