RACES CLOSER
TAFT DECLARES
THE PRESIDENT TELLS COLOR.
ED GRADUATES BETTER
FEELING EXISTS.

Washington. D. c., June 19.-"The
feeling between the white race and
the colored race in the south is grow.
ing better each year." declared Presi-
dent Taft last night before handing
out diplomas to nearly 200 graduates
of the two local colored high schools
and the colored normal school. Sew
eral thousand people gathered in con-
yention hall to witness the presenta-
ton.
II do not care if there are extre-
mists who differ with me-" continued
the president. They do not represent
the real white feeling in the south. AS
a negro laborer becomes more efficient
so does the industrial progress OF the
south move on
The president declared that he had
been to no city in the south where he
had not visited colored schools and
churches and where he had not talk
ed with the white man about his col
ored neighbor and with the colored
man about his white neighbor.
I'm the endeavor, self-restraint, and
industry of the race ITSELF" he assert
ed, Lies its hope of success. | do
not minimize your burdens; but those
of the future are as nothing compared
with those which your have already
overcome
He told the graduates that the
great problem of the colored race was
with the great uneducated part Of the
race in the south, who must be
taught hope, and that each negro car
ries in himself the power to make the
race respected by the whites"

his lunch at regular rates and throw

I That's the newest knotty problem
with which the fathers of Washington
are called upon to deal. Washington is
one of the great primary oyster marts.
The saloons along the river front, to
which the oystermen come to sell
their bivalves by the bushel, have a
way of serving oyster lunches to the
drinkers. The oystermen say this
ruins their trade, and some Of them
have petitioned to be allowed to sell
their oysters and donate the beer.
The district government hasn't been
able to see it thus far The beer

Is waiting with breathless concern, in

BISHOP DRIVEN
OUT OF TOWN
NEBRASKA CATHOLIC DlGNITARY
THREATENED BECAUSE OF
CHURCH FIGHT.

Bonacum ana father - 6rien,
was forced to leave Ulysses last
night, arrived here early this
morning and drove to Brainard.
He reported the three walked to
Garrison last night where Roma
cum and O'Brien are understood
to have taken train for Lincoln.
Ulysses, Neb., June 1s.-Rishop
Bonacum of Lincoln and Fathers
O'Brien of Seward, and Kline of Brain
ard were last night driven from this
village by an angry mob of between
200 and $50 people. The bishop and
his priests had come to Ulysses to for
mally take possession of the church
here over which Father Murphy has
held charge.
Sympathizers of Father Murphy,
both Catholics and non-Catholics, join
ed the mob and would have done VIC
lence to the bishop and party, had it
not been for the strenuous efforts OF
Father Murphy, who counselled the
mob to do no violence and who re-
quested that the visitors be left
alone. So threatening. however, was
the aspect of the mob. that Father
O'Brien sent for livery rig and tax
ing Bishop Bonacum and Father
Kline, left in the direction of David
City. This rig was followed by an
automobile with church enemies of the
bishop. The rig was overtaken three
miles from town and the bishop and
priests were forced TO get out and
walk, and the liveryman was made to
drive back to Ulysses without his
passenger.
When last seen the bishop and his
party were walking north along the
road toward David City. They were
not harmed, but threats we're made to
"egg them mob Them" and to treat
them to various indignities.
The trouble of last night had its
origin In the long church feud be
tween Bishop Bonacum and Rev. Will
lam Murphy, for several years priest
in control of the parishes of Ulysses
and Seward Bishop Bonacum ex
communicated Father Murphy, was
sustained at Rome and recently Sc
cured ruling in the civil courts GUST
ing Father Murphy from the parish
property. The majority OF the parish
toner's throughout the long controversy
have stood with the priest.

TO EARTH'S LABORATORY
Science Discovers That Paso Robles
Hot Springs Are Really the Marvels
OF Health.

OF Health.
Today the great American and
foreign authorities assert that the ia
nous Paso Robles springs bring forth
the interior of the earth waters which
make cures that medicine and sur
gerry do not perform.
Such wonderful results have been
made upon certain diseases by the
Paso Robles Hot Springs that scien-
tisas are unable to account wholly for
the real reason and to exactly deter
mine what causes the really great
chemical virtues of these waters.
The wonderful waters of Paso
Robles have performed so many
really remarkable cures Of late, up
on persons from all over the world,
to such an extent that medical men
and scientists are making an investi-
cation into what really is the cause OF
such chemical purity of water and its
consequent action upon health.
The waters of Paso Robles are
both hot and cold when they arrive
at the surface of the earth. Here
are mineral mud baths, vapor, steam

The only diseases barred at Paso
Robles are tuberculosis and unclean
maladies.
Cases of chronic stomach trouble,
alcoholism, nervous prostration, espe-
cially in women. worn out business
men, rheumatism, gout, kidney and
other troubles too numerous to men,

though they were but slight ipdis-
position. One may spend hours In
the streets of the town listening tc
the conxalescents tell of their former

like a romance. Every luxury is here
for the rich, while those who desire
may bring a tent and camp out II
the delightful meadows or along the
river bank and be treated and curet
at little expense. Boarding houses
and private homes are also open t.
health seekers.
The air at Paso Robles is said tC
be the purest of any health resort il
the world and many claim as mucf
for it as they do for the waters.
Truly it is interesting to know jus
