Ex-President Roosevelt is sustaining
his reputation in Africa as a huntsman.
The members of his party who were
saved from the attack of a ferocious
lion by his true craftsmanship are
no doubt as proud of him as he was
of the Negro soldiers who rescued
him and his regiment from the Span
iards in the late war.

a wholesome thing. No better evil
dence can be cited to prove this than
the record made by the Fifty-sixth Cen
eral Assembly, They met and ad-
journed without passing a single act
of any note against the Negro. We
attribute this to the Negroes independ-
ence in the last state election. He is
no longer the tool of any special party
or set OF men in Tennessee but is
thinking for himself. He cannot be a
republican because the party does not
stand for justice to all men in this
commonwealth-nor a democrat-be-
cause they say in unmistaken Ian
guage this is a white mans party
but an Independent thinker and voter;
a thorn to be pierced in the side of
the party that tries to make of him a
means to an end. The Assembly was
unique in that it was neither demo
cratic nor republican. Members elected
as democrats pooled with republicans
to accomplish certain things, and
helped to pass bills over the veto
of a democratic governor. Therefore,
they will have to be called a body un-
known to themselves, but doors of
things numerous, great and small.

NEW INTERURBAN ROAD.

At last the interurban line from
Nashville to Franklin, Tenn, is COM
pleted, and cars are being operated
daily. This is another adjunct to the
comfort and convenience of the people
of Nashville and the country between
this city and Franklin. Aword to the
Negroes at this time would not be
amiss. This car line is for the benefit
of the people, to be used when the fare
charged for a ride is paid. This does
not mean, however, that everybody is
to lay off from their work three
days in each week to ride on
the new cars. The men who built the
road were convinced before doing so
that the rapid increase in the business
of Nashville, Franklin and intermedi-
ate points justified the investment, but
if the wheels of progress are to be
clogged for need of help the money
spent to build the new road will profit
nothing. 1t will be the better policy
to spend money riding on the cars only
when necessary. We call attention to
a riding because it is fresh in the
minds of the people, and because we as
a race are so quick to abuse the privi-
leges granted by public carriers.

TRUST BUSTER" TO QUIT JOB
KELLOGG WILL RETIRE FROM
GOVERNMENT SERVICE.
VIII Not Cease War Until Standard
OIL and Hartman Cases Are
~. Ended.

Washington, May 11.-Frank B. KEEL
logg, the trust ESsser, has notified the
president and attorney general that
he has decided to return to the pri,
vate practice of the law and give up
his work for the government.
W. He will not sever his connection
with the department of justice until he
has carried to a conclusion the pend
ing cases for the dissolution of the
merger of the Southern and Union Pa
cific railways, on the ground that they
are conspiracaes In restraint of trade.
The Standard Oil case is far adj
vanced, but the railroad case is in its
primary stages, the collecting of evil
dence not yet having been completed.
For this reason it is thought that it
will be at least IS months before KEEL
logg will be able to leave the govern.
ment service as a buster of trusts.
His decision to return to private
practice is in line with the policy of
this administration to do away with
the employment of special" men for
the, performance of, the government
work.
Mr., Taft and the attorney general
can see little reason for having well.
organized department of justice un.
less that department is able to look
after it's business. Therefore, the de.
partment itself, and not outsiders, will
do the necessary work.
Kellogg Denies the story.
st. Paul, Mimi, May 11.-Frank B.
Kellogg, special assistant attorney
general in charge of cases against the
Standard Oil Company and the Harri,
man lines, denied that he had In
formed the president and attorney gen
eral that his relations with the govern.
ment would end when the present
cases are closed.
Il never sade any such statement
to the president or attorney general
said Mr.. kellogg, and further than
that have nothing to say"

BIG ARMY BALLOON EXPLORES
BURSTS AS THE AERoNAuTs ARE
FL. LANDING.
Capt. Chandler and Lieut.. Ware Have
Narrow Escapes In Accident
Near Sioux City.

Omaha, Neb., May 11.-Army bal
loon No. IL, which ascended from Fort
Omaha, IN milking a landiag at Jack
son, Neb., exploded and was destroyed.
Neither Capt. Chandler nor Lieut..
Ware, who made the fight, was seri.
ously injured. The town of Jackson
is about 80 miles west of Sioux City.
Lieut.. Ware declared that aside
from the destruction of the gas bag
the fight was an entire success.
Capt. Chandler believes that while at
a high altitude the gas bag became
charged with static electricity and
that on reaching the ground contact
with the earth caused an arc to form,
thus producing an electric spark
which set fire to the big bag.
The ascension was supervised by
Capt. Chandler assisted by detach-
ment of trained signal corps men. The
balloon started north as soon as it
was well into the air and soon
crossed the Missouri river. 1t fol-
lowed the general course of the river
for nearly 100 miles, the fight follow
ing an east-northwesterly direction.
The highest altitude reached was
AGO feet shortly after the balloon left
the earth. The distance travelled was
about 100 miles, deducting the hour
and half the balloon was becalmed,
the fight was made in about six
hours. Much of the time, however,
the wind was so low that the balloon
moved only five to eight miles an
hour. The maximum speed reached
was about fifty miles. ,.. .,
The occupants of the balloon were
taken to town in farmers wagon
and are expected to reach Omaha to-
| day.

Des Moines, May 11.-Six days OF
almost uninterrupted sunshine has
given more cheerful tone to the re-
reports of correspondents. The week
opened and closed with temperatures

ground has been prepared for corn.
Considerable corn has already been
planted in southern districts, and,
with favorable weather, planting will
become general in all parts of the
state during the coming week. Grass
and small grain, though growing slow
ly, are generally in good condition
and give promise of good yields.

ing furrow in the lawn at Dolma
Bagtsche palace. In carrying out the
ancient test, Mehmed v. showed him
self to be sound of body and fit to bear
the physical burdens of the empire.
1t had been a day both of fulfilment
of ancient customs and of the break
ing of them. Contrary to expectation,
two Christians for the first time were
admitted to the small mosque attached
to Ayoub mosque and allowed to see
the ceremony of girding the sword of
Osman upon the sultan. Among 30
persons present were Buckham Pasha,
an American, and Woods Pasha, an
Englishman, both of whom are in the
Turkish service. They were impressed
with the beauty and solemnity of the
ceremony, which, with the chants of
the priests, lasted only 20 minutes.
Soldiers Nab Priest.
AS the sultan crossed the courtyard
of the mosque to enter his carriage a
white. turbaned hadja, or teaching
priest, caused moments excitement
by running forward with a petition
which he tried to hand to the sultan,
at the same time talking somewhat
wildly about the Koranic law, Two
soldiers caught him and hurried him
out of the yard. -.. ....
reactionsry plots, passed peacefully
and without sign of disturbance.
Lights were blazing in the minarets
and mosques of Constantinople last
night; the ships in the harbor were
outlined in electric bulbs. and the city
generally celebrated enthusiastically
the girding of the new sultan.

tent Among other Americans to wit

After having passed the ambassa-

mosque of Mohammed the Conqueror,
near the entrance to the Adrianople
gate. He prayed alone by the tomb of
Mohammed for quarter of an hour
and then resumed his six.mile journey
through STEAMBOAT to the sublime

a number of distinguished persons.
Along the route of march boys and
