OBITUARY..
MRS. HicKLlN.

Mrs. Mariah Hicklin mother of
Mrs. Geo. I. Holt, died last Sum
day morning at $3.50 o'clock at
the home of her daughter Mrs.
Holt at 762 west 10th street after
an illness of several months, her
home was in St. Joseph, Mo-,
but she was brought to this city
about eight weeks ago. She
was over70 years of age. She was
a "a lent sufferer and remained
conscious until death claimed her
She had raised very interest
ing family and those here to at
tend the funeral we're Messrs
Newton of st. Joseph, Mo-;
Frank of Ohio; John of Peoria,
ILL.,, and Henry and Mrs Geo.
gia Holt, and son-in-1aw Geo. 1.
Holt of this city, another daugh-
ter Mrs. Beatrice Jordan is in
Porto Rica and could not be
present. The funeral was held
from the home of Mrs. Holt
Tuesday afternoon at 2 O'Clock
conducted by Rev. Geo. w.
Gaines assisted by Rev. H. w.
Porter. Interment was at Glen

woman, a true mother and an
exemplary christian has gone
from us. The floral tributes were
very beautiful and numerous ty-
plying her noble character.

NEW ALDRlCH-PAYNE
TARIFF BILL.

The new Tariff bill has finally
passed after the Congress has
been laboring and working hard
for more than three months, and
now 1t does not suit all the peo.
pie nor all sections of America.
The East did not get all they
had hoped for nor did the middle
get what they are honestly en-.
titled, and the South claims she
has not been treated right with
her products, and the North was
complaining of unfair schedules,
thus none are exactly satisfied,
the bill like all other important
bills is simply a COM
promise. In fact we think it is
a breach of good faith with our
Republican platform, nor is it in
harmony with the public speeches
that President Taft made during
the campaign. We all wanted a
revision Of he Tariff downward
on many schedules. We in the
West hope for but little relief
from the new Bill.

generous reception given by the

that the loyalty and heroic brav-
cry of this gallant regiment of
black American soldiers is honor
ed at home, so do not be discour-
aged the Negro is coming amid
difficulties and disadvantages and

we are worthy to be called the
truest, bravest and most law
abiding of the American citizens.

When q. r. Washington Dies.

The only statue in New York city OF
a colored man is a figure of st. Bene
dict the Moor over the entrance of st
Benedict's church in Fifty-third street
Strictly it Is not statue. but figure
A prominent Negro Of New York said
when his attention was called to this
1.-THE question Of erecting a statue tc
one of our race would have been set
tied long ago IL Booker Washington
had not come up when he did. There
was a movement on foot to erect one
to Frederick Douglass, but when Booker
Washington began doing so much fol
the race it was thought best to defer
the statue, for when Washington dies
and may that time be far off, he will
have a memorial worthy Of his work
and It will be put where every body ir
this great city can see It."
