business disposition. He is a true
friend to he colored race and has
made a great many friends here in
Washington since he came to the
Senate He has a great many friends
among his colleagues, both Republi-
cans and Democrats. Senator Per-
kins is always in his seat in the Sen
ate, when not engaged in a committee
meeting. The voters of California
should feel proud of having such an
able statesman as Senator Perkins
to represent them at this time when
the Democratic party is doing all in
its power to disfranchise the Negro
in every Southern State, and to take
from them all the rights and priv
ileges guaranteed them by the Con-
stitution.
1t is to be regretted that in the late
campaign there were quite a Number
of colored voters in California who
The Washington bee., 1909-01-16

voted the Democratic ticket; for what
reason we are at loss to know We
did not believe that any cOlOred voter
in the State of California would be
so ungrateful as to vote against such
men as Senator Perkins and Repre-
sentative Kahn, who have always
proven their loyalty to the Negro
race, but we feel safe in saying that
we voice the sentiments of every in
telligent Negro in Californis when
we say that it is their best wishes
and desire to see Senator Perkins
returned to the United States Sen
ate to fill the position for six years
more, and we also feel safe in say
ing that we hope the time will come
when Senator Perkins will be called
to fill a higher and exalted position

A GIFTED WOMAN.

Miss Mamie H. Burroughs, form

Louisville, Kentucky, and has been
Tor a number of years, is one of the
most gifted speakers in the United
States. Miss Burroughs is the man
ager of the Old Folks Baptist Home,
an institution that is being erected
under the auspices of the Baptist de-
nomination. The home is almost
paid for, indeed, over one half of
the Indebtedness on the home is paid.
As a public speaker she has a rep
utation of which any woman ought to
feel proud. A few years ago, when

day afternoon, "and all the Negroes
were satisfied with the arrangements

We were, of course, surprised to re-

1t is said outside of the Chamber

and others in charge of the meeting
had arranged to send out invitations
for the gathering, and Johnson and
his faction felt that some might be

these facts to Mr.. Hitchcock on the
occasion of the campaign managers S
visit to Atlanta recently, and that the
request of Mr.. Taft to the Chamber

themselves up industrially.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION BY
THEUNITED STATES COMMITS
SI0NER Of AGRICULTURE
ON BLEACHING FLOUR.

DR.. Wiley the United states Chemist, after hav-
ing analysed samples Of bleached flour from all
parts of the country found by careful analysis that
flour bleached by the Electrical process was an
adulteration under the Pure Food Law, and Sec.
Wilson, Com'r of Agriculture has ruled. All
mills using the Electrical method of bleaching flour
have been notified to discontinue the practice. That
on and after June 2 1909, a heavy penalty will be
imposed on any one selling or offering for sale
beached flour
Prof Ladd, Comr of Agriculture of North
Dakota in his investigation and analysis of bleached
flour found traces Of poison and in his experiments
in feeding rabbits, bread made from flour heavily
beached, it killed them like strichnine.
Mills and Flour dealers who are stocked up heav
lily on this bleached flour will endeavor to dump
same on the market at any old price between now
and June 2nd. Flour buyers should keep their eyes
open and not get caught.
For the information of the public we Will state
that flour in its natural, and wholesome state has
creamy tint, while flour bleached by the Elecri.
cal process has dead chalky appearance.
After officials of our government, having ana
yzed bleached flour and for the protection of its
citizens decided it to be an adulteraton and unsafe
to be used, then why should anyone jeopordize
his health by the Of same in order to save few
pennies?
For the information Of their customers and to
all whom IL may concern, the Marion Milling Co.,
states that they have never had bleacher in its mill
Hence they positively guarantee their flour not
bleached and to be as pure and wholesome as flour
can be made and the quality as high as any in the
country.
They also desire to thank all the people of our
town and county for their loyal support and pat
ronage they have given them in the past and it
shall be their earnest endeaver by honest methods
and fair dealing to continue to merit their patronage
confidence and good will Again thanking you,
