cast your ballot All of the candi-
dates may be Democrats, but that should
have nothing to do with your exercising
your privilege as a voter There are
some good Democrats and many bad
Republicans. If there is only one quail
ifeI colored voter in a locality, he
should go to the polls and cast his vote
on the side of right and justice. Again
we want to advise the qualified colOred
voter OF Alabama to attend the Repub-
ican conventions in your county and
see to it that such delegates are elected
to the State convention as are opposed
to the candidacy of Secretary Taft. We
hope that the colOred race in Alabama
will not be disgraced, Inundated and
cursed this year by a set of men in
our conventions who disregard every
honor at stake, and put "Pelf Above
Principle"
Secretary Taft has proved himself an
enemy of the black race. When he took
to himself the task of scraping up filth,
falsehood. and every misrepresentation
to prove that the innocent coIored SOL
diers whom he and President Roosevelt
had unjustly dismissed without honor"
were guilty of the charge of shooting
up Brownsville" when he joined Pres
ident Roosevelt in chasing those hon
orable black soldiers with a most hon
orable record, as midnight assassins,"
he then descended to the low level Of
the Vardamans and Tillmans, and then
branded himself or all time to come as
an unjust official, devoid of every sense
of justice and honor. There should not
be found one colored man IN Alabama
who would go-into the county, Con-
gressiOnal or State Convention and vote
or work for the advancement Of the
Taft interests. With the suffrage laws
of the South against US; with Roose-
Welt and Taft using every opportunity
to humiliate and degrade US, what
course will the colored voter pursue? So
far as every coIored voter of the State
is concerned, it should be settled now,
that the delegation from Alabama TO
the Chicago Convention will not be SOL
id for Secretary Taft. and even if Mr..
Taft is nominated, those colored voters
who are not willing to vote for the
Democratic nominee should remain away
from the polls. 1
God grant that he colored voters of
America will deport themselves as men
this year, and that the downfall of Sec
retary Taft and President will be GER
tain and complete!

DEPUTY GRAND MASTER AT
HOME.

Hon. L. NJ. Porter, National D. G NJ.
tending the c. NJ, visited many points
of interest in the East Mr.. Porter Is
a strong man in his antive State, and is
well known and liked by leaders of
the race throughout the country; hence
on his trip to Washington, D. c., Phil
adelphia, and other points, he was much
sought out by politicians of national re-
pute, all of whom were anxious to get
line on political sentiment in theSouth
generally and the Southwest particular
ly. Mr.. Porter, in his lear. level-headed
manner, had them understand that the
announcement in the public press by of
fetal party leaders requesting that the
Negroes of the South be given a square
deal in the election of delegates, etc, to
the coming Republican National Con-
venuon was about the wisest step that
the party could have taken
There is a small group of men who
represent the thrift and progress of Mr..
Porter's home town, and they are al
ways on hand to welcome any of the
boys home or wish them bon voyage
when they are leaving. When Mr.. Por-
ter returned 10 Little Rock he found
the Old Guard" waiting to receive him.
Knowing the likes and dislikes of the
gang, he had them repair to his beaud-
full home, and soon all had their feet
under a heavy-burdened lunch table, and
in the midst of cigar smoke were soon
swapping experiences. Mr.. Porter gave
gave quite an exhaustive report of his
trip in the East after which he framed
up the following informal program:
Judge NJ w. Gibbs. "Our National
Politics"
Mr.. J. H. McConico, The Young
Man in Politics"
Mr.. H. D. Luster, The Duty of
Ward Politician"
Mr. c. B. King, The Banker as
Politician"
Mr., H. H. Garner, Should Govern
ment Employees Engage in Politics?"
Prof T. R. I'h, The Teacher in
Politics"
Mr. NJ. H. Henderson, "The Labor
ing Man in Politics"
Mr.. H. f. Gibbs, The Business Man
as a Politician"
DR.. J. G. Thornton. "The Profess
sional Man in Politics"
Colonel J. f. Bush and Hon. S. A.
Jones telephoned hegrats, as business
kept them from joining the boys. The,
little gathering extended far into the
wee sma hours.
Somehow or other a sentiment for
Hughes and Cannon seemed to invade
the crowd, and ere the close the men
ton of either one of the names was
sure to call forth applause.
After the lunch and cigars had all
disappeared the crowd gave three cheers
for Porter and Judge NJ. w. Gibbs
the veteran, lead the song, Hes jollY
good fellow" After awhile all depart
ed their several ways, silently wishing
that the Hon. Mr.. Porter would take
another trip soon.

NO MORE SUNDAY FUNERALS

NO MORE SUNDAY FUNERALS
At a session Of the Interdenomina-
tional Ministers Meeting of the District
of Columbia, held on Monday of this
week, the question of Sabbath observa-
ton was discussed, and the following
resolutions with regard to Sabbath fu-
nerals were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, the practice of holding fu-
nerals on the Lords Day is on the in
crease in the churches OF our race in
the District of Columbia; and
Whereas, this practice is hurtful to
the churches, spiritually and financially,
and a prolific source of Sabbath desc
Grafton in that it causes undertakers
and hack-drivers to do work that is not
absolutely necessary on the Lords Day
and keeps large numbers OF people from
the regular church services; and
Whereas, the laws of the District of
Columbia forbid the H,rial of persons
on Sunday; and
"Whereas, the holding of Sunday fu-
nerals causes the pastors and members
of our churches to needlessly become
Sabbath breakers; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we, the members of
the Interdenominational AIinisters'Meet-
ing of the District OF Columbia, do con-
denim and practice as being contrary to
the plain teaching of Gods Word, hurt
full to the financial and spiritual wei
fare of our churches, and perniciOus in
its effect upon the decorum and morals
of our people.
Resolved, also, That we pledge our
selves not to attend funerals on the
Lords Day, unless justified in doing so
by some UNUSUAL circumstances, and that
we will do all in our power to dis
courage the holding of Sunday funerals
on the part of all the churches and pas
tors in the District of Columbia. Be it
also
Resolved, That a copy Of these reso-
Iutions be sent to every Ministers Meet
ing among us in the District, and that
a committee of five (s) be appointed
by the President to visit said Minis
ter's Meetings and urge them to take
similar action in this matter.

NEW SECRETARY OF THE Y. NJ.
c. A.
The Tri-Couuty Press, Of Bussey To-
wa, has this TO say about the new Sec
retary of the Y. NJ c. a. of this city:
After nearly four years of very sue
cessful work as general secretary of
tn Y. NJ. c. a. of Buxton, L. Z. John
son has tendered his resignation, to
take effect February I, or as soon sa
the Board can find a successor. This
they have accepted with many regrets
for they very we'll know that he has
been with their work from the ground
up and has made a success at every
step.
This call to Washington follows his
work Of three months in that city last
winter. during which time they raised
$4,000 for a new building, and the
amount is to be made 100000 with
which to build the finest colored Y. M.
c. A. building in America. Washington
with its 100000 colored people is to be
model after which other cities can
COPY, and it is fit that Mr.. johnson
should be in charge for he Is capable,
faithful, and devoted to the work.
We have seen some of the letters sent
him by prominent men urging him to
come, one of which was from Presi-
dent w. P. Thirkield of Howard nUi-
versity.
The Buxton society now numbers
400 men and boys and they have Bible
classes, night school, lectures, theatres
gymnasium.b baths, games of many kinds,
in fact everything found in well-ap-
pointed Y. NJ. c. A. Mr.. Johnson has
proved hsi ability to cope with this
problem and fer this reason he has
been called up higher. He leaves the
finest colored Mining Camp 7. M. {. A.
in America (in fact only New York
city has greater) and he has had more
to do for it than anyone else.

ALL AMERICA

1.-The Lion and the Mouse" the
greatest dramatic success the Ameri
can stage has known, will be presented
here shortly by Henry b. Harris with
a company of exceptional strength aud
every requisite in the way of stage
accessories. The play is by Charles
Klein and it deals with theme that
has human nature as its keynote, the
conspicuous element that Mr.. Klein
has so vividly pictured presenting
the influence which the moneyed in
terests of the country is exerting on
the social and financial phases of pres
ent day life. The triumph which the
play has achieved is ably expressed by
the fact that it is now in its third
year in New York City; has been
played for eight months to crowded
houses in Boston aud broke all rec
ords in the city of Chicago during its
run of four months. 1.-The Lion and

Degrees of False Pretense

A man in Wilkes-Burre who obtain
ed ten cents from another on false pre-
tence was sent to Jail for ten davs.
No doubt the fellow deserved the sent
ence; no doubt the Punishment fits the
crime. There are many men who get
money from their fellows under false
pretence, but the amounts are so small
that nobody cares to prosecute. Why,
the thing has gone to such an extra.
ordinary extreme that fellows pretend
that they want dime for whiskey,
and when the sympathetic stranger
hands out the money 10 relieve his
distress tine false recipient goes off
and squanders the money FOR food. On
the other hand thore is class of pro-
fessional mendicauts who ask for mon
ey to buy food but are guilty of false
pretence every hour they ply their
trade, and of something worse eve~y
time they curse a nOn-contributor
If all persons who are guilty of OBJ
tanning money under false pretence
were punished in proportion to the
punishment of the Wi lkes-Barre pre-
tender what would happen.to the body
polite? There is sea of conjecture
in which the most adventurous will
surely be lost. What would become OF
many promoters? of the spectators in
this and that? of the sellers of mis-
branded and adulterated food pro-
ducts? of the corporations that pretend
that they need the projections of high
tariffs? and, finally, of governments
themselves, provided that the heads of
governments could he prosecuted and
imprisoned as it is demanded that the
heads of offending corporations be
dealt with? IT imprisonment were the
universal and inevitable punishment
for false pretepce the prisons would in
course of time become so full that the
support of prisoners would be the
greatest fixed expenditure of all gov
ernments that might be left to govern.
That seems logical enough until one
sees that il leads to something similar
to the question whether it is ten thou
sand times more criminal for hun
dred million people to kill ten thou
sand than for an individual to kill one
man
