in the world why Foraker should not be

ANYTHING whatever in the way of further political pre-

nominees for president then those promises should
forthwith be recalled if it means the defeat OF

Such conjugal devotion that exhibited by Mrs.
Anna Johnson who walked from Minneapolis to Butte,
Montana, and was aided the balance of the way by
railroad ticket purchased by
Anne Johnson's sympathzers, who heard her
Conjugal Devotion tale of woe, should meet a
better fate than what seems
to be in store for her. Believing her husband Ole
johnson was sick and needed her she left her home
without money to come to Seattle to wait on
him. but arriving here she has not been able to find
any trace of him. though the daily have publish
ed columns about both herself and her husband. I'm
less Johnson is dead gone to the interior OF
Alaska where it is difficult for to reach him, he
is deliberately hiding from his wife If dead he would
certainly told some one about his faithful wife If gone
to sea then he has wlfully deserted her. If to
Alaska and he is what she thinks he is, he will soon
learn of her sacrifices for himself and get of con-
ISOLATION to her possible. The devotion of Da
mon and Pythios dwindes into complete nsgnifcance
in comparison to that displayed by this plucky woman
and it is truly hoped that that devotion will not be
rudely shaken by her realizing that her spouse has
played her false which to the casual observer seems
fact If Johnson possesses the hundredth part of the
devoted husband that she is wife, he would have sent
her kind of message even on his death bed. II
he has gone to the interior of Alaska he has
likewise shown his undevotedness in not sending her
some kind of message There however, is possibi-
ty of these things having been done and by hook
or crook not reached her. but in the absence of evil
dence along that line, it looks like very sad case of
misplaced confidence.

Fairgrounds in use and 118 others are planning their

of cities maintaining Fairgrounds has been nearly
doubled and out of every seven of the remainder
are planning to make beginning in the future.

1t is perhaps the first time in the history of the
country that president of the United States has taken
an active and participating interest in presidential
candidate to succeed himself
Theodore Roosevelt but Theodore Roosevelt the
The Wonderful wonderful, is doing so, and
doing so apparently very eff
fectvely The charge of Hearst against Senator For
aker brought forth letter from the president making
it perfectly clear to all concerned that the present ad
minstration, in which the Hon. William Howard Taft
is considerable factor, wiped its hands of Foraker
some months ago and absolutely refused to enter into
any alliance with him to the political division of
the spos Ohio Senator Foraker has promised reply
to the remarks of the president but has not done
yet and perhaps never will. After giving the public
to understand that nothing that Hearst said in any way
tainted those whose political destinies he inter
ested be turned his attention to the Democratic side OF
the question and handed Gov Haskell bunch of beau
ties that were so striking and completely stunning
that the Hon. William Jennings Bryan the matchess
one was forced to to Haskells rescue. Mr.. Bry
an demanded the proofs from the president to Has
es Identification with the Standard OIL In his reply
the president admitted that he had specific proof
to the Ohio episode but Haskes Standard Oil connec
ton in Oklahoma was a matter OF court record, and
that while he, Haskell attending the Democratic
National Convention at Denver, which nominated Bry
an and at which Bryan himself selected Haskell for
the treasuershp of his national committee Haskell
forced hurry home therefom in order to look after
the Standard Oil interests which had been attacked by
the attorney general of that state 1t through the
influence of Gov Haskell that the Standard Oil Com
pany wac permitted to do things in the state of Okla
homa which was without any color of law" What
reply Mr.. Bryan will make to the presidents exposure
of Haskell is yetknown but it appears at this stage
of the controversy that the president has all the better of
it, and that Mr. Bryan will either have to dismiss Gov.
Haskell or his campaign will have to bear the ear
marks of the Standard Oil Company.

The ClanSman, :" from the pen of Thomas Dixon,
Jr., the Southern writer the problem of the
United States has finally reached the Pacific Coast.
This is the play that has kick
Dixon's Clansman ed up so much trouble in so
On The Coast many cities throughout the
states of the South East and
North and in many places was actually forbidden the
right of being staged There is doubt but that the
play just like Tman, encourages, yea, produces
coorphobia in it's most violent form and should not be
put exhibition in any civilized country, but great
majority of the dominant class of this country either
want to it have objections of any else
ing if he she DESIRE and therefore, for the Afro
Americans to continue to protest against it appearing
in any city where great majority of the citizens there
in seem to want it, seems foolhardy. 1t is purely
of kicking against the prcks, and the that you
protest the greater the amount of free advertising it is
given and greater the number of persons that actually
want to it. The appearance of Ben Tillman in Chi
cago to lecture for the benefit of charity organization
almost caused riot but he spoke just the same
and not only spoke in Chicago but has spoken all
the country and for other than account of
the Chicago trouble, which made something of a
tyr and hero of him. So far the black of this
country is concerned the white man. being overwhelm
ngly in the majority is going to do those things which
his fancy leads him to- and that too in spite of any
protest of the black The Clansman Ben Tillman
and all such will not to any great extent lead the cool
headed Yankee very far from his fixed purpose of life
and it is not believed that after the vulgar play has
shown on the coast and gone the way of the world
that the black will be able to discern the white
man showing any disposition to not give him a
square deal than before there was ever any talk of
either Dixon or The Clansman.
