We learn that some of the ne
groes who come to town on Satur-
day nights and fill themselves with
whiskey become very noisy when
they leave the town. In some in
stances they have been insolent
and impudent. The police should
be on the guard and keep close
watch for these distnrbers of the
peace. When caught they should
be given lesson that will do some

Whore Hat Straw Comes From.

In Italy to raise straw employed in
making hats the wheat is sown as
thickly rs possible in order that the
growth Of the plant may be impover-
ished as well as to produce a thin
stalk having toward the end from tho
last knot the lightest and longest
straw. The wheat blooms at the be.
ginning Of June and is pulled up by
the roots by hand when the grain is
half developed. II allowed to remuin
in the ground a longer time the straw
would become brittle. About five doz-
en- uprooted branches the size Of the
compass Of two hands are firmly tied
together into little sheaves and slowed
away in barns. Then the straw is
again spread out to catch the heavy
summer dews and to bleach in the sun.
After additional bleaching the straw
is put into small bundles and classified.
Finally it is cut close above the first
joint from the top and again. tied up
in small bundles containing about six
ty stalks each and delivered to women
in almost every private dwelling of
the poorer classes.

any such statement is false, as there was
every reason in the world to have this
gentleman placed in custody. The edi.

see how he can be so astonished at

A cre.tfaIlen inspector.

When former Minister WI Ting Fans
left this country he was accompanied
by M extensive retinuc and attended
to the steamer by IL delegation Of 10
cal Chinese merchants. The customs
officials, who then We're also immigra-
ton inspectors, carefully took the
names and count of the local Chinese
as they went on board. This precau-
ton was to prevent some deported or
otherwise not welcome Celestial from
effecting a landing by joining the mer.
chants as they came ashore after tax
Ing a ceremonious farewell of their dis
tinguished countryman. Half an hour
or so after WI and his friends had
gone on board n of Wu's secretaries
arrived on the dock and was hurrying
up the gangplank when a customs in
speetor seized him by the arm and
pulled him buck on the wharf.
"Washamalla you, John? l no takee
name, you no can come back. Who
you belongy said the inspector, smil-
ing at some girls with whom he had
been talking.
The Chinese shook loose the inspect
0r's hold on the loose sleeve Of his
silk robe and with quiet dignity re-
marked:
"This violence is unnecessary, sir.
and my name is a matter Of no inter
est to you. l am Il member of his
e~xcellency's suit. I go on board this
steamer to leave this country never
again, l hope. to return"
That customs inspector is still OH
the force. but never since has he tried
to be funny with a Chinese gentleman.

as all other presidential terms have ended-with loss of power.
 Mr. Roosevelt is, however, eudeavor. ing to extend his influence over the next four years by naming as his sue cessor William Howard Taft. The country has witnessed before inc of forts of a retiring President to select delegates, but never in it's entire his troy has there been such an open and unblushing hunt for delegates on the part of federal officeholders as it sees going on today. There is no gulnshoe- ing about it. It is done openly, az gressively and determinedly.
 This effort will injure MT. Roose- velt's influence as he nearsNthe end of his term. He had elevated political standards, and commercial standards as well, and if he had been content to leave to the people the selection of successor he would have gone out of office in excellent, if not unexampiod, favor. The country will not take kind ly. to the selection by an administTa- tion of a successor. It Is not accus- toned to that manner of selection. It smacks too much of South America. It would have been far better for MT. Roosevelt if he had left his policies to speak for themselves, for if he had done this he might have heard a call in 1912 that would have been pleasing. He Is making a mistake.

Experiment Must Be Tried

Good roads are demanded and good roads Jefferson county will have. After years of opportunity we are still lamentably backward in road building and road maintenance. Our system of public highways is so inadequate, in deed, as to bring reproach upon this entire community.
 The discussion that has been in prog ress in the columns of The AgeHerald for some time past has not only aroused profound interest from one end of the county to the other but it has brought out much valuable in- formation and many practical sugges- tions. All are agreed on one point at least, namely: Bad roads will no longer be tolerated. AS to the methods to be employed in obtaining the desired re- suits there is a difference of opinion. The Age-Herald has insisted on giving the convict labor plan years trial and it will continue to insist that the convict experiment be tried.
 The Board of Revenue has the right to withdraw 50 conyicts from the Ter. nessee Coal, Iron and Railroad com pany and put them to work on the county roads. Since this can be done without tho county violating its con tract, either in letter or in spirit, it should be done without further delay But from one cause or another the members of the present board are averse to giving the experiment. trial. The Age-Herald has no intention of questioning the motives of the Board of Revenue, but in view of the boards failure to give us good roads, it does look as if the members should in com mon fairness to the public, and also as a matter of business principle, use 50 convicts on the roads. Now. if the board holds out in it's refusal to try an experiment which has operated ad- mirably in other places and which would give, it is believed, excellent results here, there is all the mo.e req son why the voter should cast his bal lot at the May primary only for such candidates for the Board of Revenue as are committed to the convict experi- Esent
 Remember. the contention is that the plan of using convicts on the roads should be tried for one year. If at the end of a year it is found, by compar- ing the cost of free labor and convict labor, that the experiment is noL sue cess, then the plan would be and should be abandoned. But there are those who feel sure that with the convict plan once thoroughly tried the public will not have the roads built by any other system.
 This question-this matter of trying an experiment that has strong points in its favor-will be decided in the right way. if voters are reasonably vigilant. Let every candidate be made to declare himself and let every voter be careful in marking his ballot.

 -Measure for Measure,
Fishinu For the Negro Vote

The Ohio republicans, more strictly speaking the Taft republicans of ono, do demand limitations in the exercise of the power of injunction, and they promise to revise the tariff in the spring of 1909, but the revision is to be on protection lines only. It then pro- ceeds to extol "the American negro, and it holds out to him this piece Of revenge:
 We favor the reduction of representa- ton in Congress and the electoral col 1ege in all states of this union where white and colored citizens are disfran- chised, to the end that the 14th amend ment to the constitution of the United States may be enforced according to it's letter and spirit.
 The oddity of this attempt to win back the negro vote of Ohio consists in its disregard of the 18th amendment The 18th amendment is necessarily an explanation or modification of the 14th amendment. The 10th amendment alone states the grounds upon which negroes shall not be disfranchised- the 14th amendment being silent in that respect. Just why the Ohio re- publicans have decided to ignore the 18th amendment is not made plain, but that is what they have done in their scare over threatened bolt of negroes in Ohio from the republican ticket. The crude proposition of the Taft plat form is really due to haste. They are afraid the negroes of that state have cut loose to stay loose, and they are willing to promise them anything, no matter how demagogical it may be, that will call them back to the repub- 1ican fold.
 The 14th amendment cannot be con strued or enforced without considera- latter amends the former. Before the adoption of the 18th amendment a southern state was left free to deter mine it's electorate; under the 18th amendment it cannot deny the right to vote to any man because of race, color or previous condition of servi- tude. But all this does not explain at all the reason why the Ohio republic ans ignored the 18th amendment. No one seems to know.

New York Will Go Democratic

The New York Sun is pro-capitalistic pro-corporation, and it is bold and out spoken as well. It does not hesitate to say that the democrats will carry New York over any candidate the republic ans may put up. We give it's own words:
 Speaking of our state (New York. we record our conviction that no republican candidate, and we particularly include MT. Roosevelt himself, can carry it against Bryan, Hearst, or any other dem ocrat that may be placed in nomination at Denver. There are mighty and revo- lutionary changes operating in the politi- cal landscape,
 The fact that there are tens of thou. sands of men in the contested states out of work, and that the number will not be materially decreased by Novem- Der, leads very many to conclusion not unlike that of the Sun. The man out of work always has held the party III power responsible for hard times, and there are no reasons for expecting that history will not repeat itself. The man out of work wants change, and he will vote to get it.
 This is why the democratic outlook 1s constantly growing brighter. The whole matter is summed up in the Suns closing sentence. There are" 1t says, mighty and revolutionary changes operating in Sle political land. scape." Those changes cannot be weighed with accuracy until the bal lots are counted in November, but un. prejudiced observers already see the handwriting on the wall.

From hte Springfield Republican.
 Pauline Lucca, the Austrian singer who for a score of years was one of the famous sopranos of the world, has died in her native city, Vienna, of cancer, being almost 67 years old. She was born April 24 1S41, of Italian percentage and Jewish ancestry. As a child travelling singer discovered her natural gifts, much as Haydn in George Sands romance recog
 nized Consuelos noble voice and training, and like Haydn he taught her and gained the girl of 15 employment as member of the choir of the Karlkirche. By the chance of leading singers absence, she was called in to take her place, and her fresh young voice, partly disciplined us it was. made such an impression that the Vienna musicians arranged for her train ing and her success was rapid, so that at IS years of age she was enabled to make her debut at Olmuetz as Elvra in "Ernan." This was in 1859, and two years later she was engaged at Berlin as court singer for life During the term of her service at Berlin she sang through the London season and was very popular there. In 1872 she resigned her connection with the Berlin opera and came to this country, where she became universal favorite, and she did not return to Europe until 1874, after which she sang in nearly every European city of note except Ber- lin, where she was not forgiven. Paulire Luccas voice was a soprano, peculiarly sweet and rich. and of great power; and with it she possessed a personal charm a childlike winsomeness-which aided by that effective touch the beauty of her voice. She had sung in 90 or 40 operas. In 1865 she was married to Baron Won Rhad- en of the Prussian army, who was killed in the Franco-Prussian war. The dispatch announcing her death describes her as "Baronness Pauline Wallhofen-Lucca-"

Nebraska's Comprehensive Platform

The Nebraska democrats not only declared with marked enthusiasm their support of and entire confidence in Williams Jennings Bryan, but they adopted a platform which is as excel lent as it is comprehensive. If MT. Bryan did not write it he certainly ap- proved it before it was adopted, and the chances largely are that he wrote it.
 It is full presentation of the living issues of the day, scarcely any point being overlooked in it. The regulation of predatory wealth is declared by it to be the leading issue at this time, and the rights of the states come next All private monopolies should be abol- ished, not regulated, but abolished. The platform favors federal license sys- tenn for interstate corporations. The tariff should be brought to a revenue basis, and all articles made py trusts should be placed on the free list, and this should be done at once. An in- come tax and an inheritance tax should be adopted. Philippine independence is favored. Plenty of railroad regula- tion is demanded. The platform op- poses the Aldrich and Fowler bills, preferring a currency issued directly
