profit immensely from American
tourists. In Switzerland, hotel

not for the high tariff on art
which no one, not even the art

Oat fed horses have mettle. and
there is bone and muscle building pow
er in clean. bright oats. Shorts or bran
may be mixed with them If desired,
and handful of oilmeal is good. The
colt should have learned to eat grain
before being weaned.
A small box placed low enough so he
can reach 1t and far enough away to
be out of his mothers reach can be put
in the stall. 1t is surprising how quick
ly the little fellow will learn to eat, and
by the time he is weaned he can clean
up two or three pounds daily. The ra-
tion can be increased when he is cut
off from milk. ana by cold weather he
should receive probably four pounds
of grain. depending upon his capacity.

gave him the ballot, and trans
formed him from a chattel into a
man. All that the negro has in
the way of social and political ad
vancement he has obtained from
the Republican party. The laws
which have been passed by most
of the ex-Confederate states ex-
Guiding the negro from the ballot
are opposed by the Republicans.
In its platform of two weeks ago
the party demanded equal JUS
tice for all men, without regard
to race or color"; and declared
in favor of the rigid enforcement
of the war amendments to the
constitution which granted the
negro his social and political priv
ileges.
Not only will the antinegro
spirit of Tillman and Vardaman
govern the Denver Convention,
but the man who is to be the
Denver candidate favors that
spirit. In one of his New York
speeches a few months ago, ir
answer to a query put to him by
one of his auditors, Mr.. Bryan
said that 1.-The South is giving
the black man better law thar

the United States. This country
cares little who may be elected
president of that little toy re-
public, but all the world is inter-
ested in the peace of the zone

free from political earthquakes
and no doubt the presence of g
small U. S. army had influence
in this direction.

The Negro Vote in 1908.

Some Democratic papers are
saying that most of the negro
vote in the North and West in
1908 will go to their party on ac-
count of the dismissal of the ne
gro battalion at Brownsville for
alleged connection with the dis
turbance in that place two years
ago. Booker T. Washington,
who ought to know more about
the feeling of his race on this
and other issues than the Demo-
cratic papers know it, takes the
opposite view. ''The negro vote
will go to Mr.. Taft because the
negroes will realize in the cam
paign that they have nothing to
expect from the Democratic par
ty. With the Democratic Con-
vention made up in large part of
Southern representatives of the
Tillman-V -Vardaman type, it will
be impossible for the negro to
get anything. If he is to get any
thing he will have to look to the
Republican party, and he will
naturally vote the Republican
ticket"
This is the view that the aver
age sensible person would take.
Notwithstanding this Browns
vile blunder, the Republican par
ty has been the negro's friend
from the beginning. The Re-
publicans liberated the negro,

The country has weltered in
another Fourth of July. There
was no help for it. The hospitals
prepared couches and litters.
Surgeons sharpened their instru-
ments and got extra plasters.
Undertakers laid in a supply OF
coffins. Our forefathers, paying
about one-tenth the foreign taxes
we are paying, felt themselves
oppressed. Hence a declaration
on the Fourth of July, 1776; a
war which bequeathed us this
bloody anniversary and the Dau-
ghters of the American Revolu'
ton; and a government modelled
on that of the mother country
but, like all models, inferior tt

The fashionable season at this
wonderful sojourn is of longer
duration than that of any other
resort in America. New styles
are exploited here before they
are shown in New York, as many
wealthy residents come direct
from Paris or London laden with
sartorial treasures, which they
are only too happy to display.
Thus it comes about that the new
Directoire skirt makes its Amer
ican debut at Newport. The eX-
treme partially adopted in Paris
is too risque to meet with favor
in America, and conservative
dressmakers show a very mar
