Red Cross Stamps.

You remember how popular those
white plague" Christmas stamps
We're last holiday time how people
bought the entire issue of $4,000, 900
and clamored for more. Well. it was
Miss Mabel r. Boardman who con-
ceived that idea, and it will be due to
her efforts. in part, at least. that
many more millions of these stamps,
of a new design, will be offered for
sale during the coming Christmas sea-
son.
Miss Boardman will be the unoffi-
cial social arbiter of the white house
this winter. she has long been d par
ticularly close and intimate friend of
both the president and Mrs. Taft.
contrary to most of her predecessors,
has no social secretary Her long
residence in Washington, which has
covered most of her married life, plac-
ed her much more Familiarity in touch
with society personages and usages
peculiar to the social life of the CAPT
tai than any of the first ladies of the
land who have graced the white
house in a generation.
Miss Boardman is a sister-in-law of
Senator Murray Crane, of Massachus-
etts. Her parents. Mr.. and Mrs. Will
liam J. Boardman, are wealthy.
Their home in Washington has long
been renowned as a meeting place for
interesting persons, and for the warm
and boundless hospitality dispensed
there
Mr.. Taft, who is president of the
National Red Cross society, interest
ed Miss Boardman in the work sew
eral years ago. With energy, intelli-
gence and tact characteristic of the
American girl who starts out to do
things. Miss Boardman virtually
breathed the breath of life into the
Red Cross society after the confusion
into which its affairs fell during the
Spanish war. Mainly through her eff
forts. the society was reorganized
and placed upon a highly efficient and
prosperous basis. When the news of
the Messina earthquake reached
Washington Miss Boardman. within
half hour, took prompt action for the
relief of the sufferers. In recognition
of her work the Italian government
decorated her with a reproduction in
gold of an ancient Roman civic crown.
1t was bestowed through the Italian
ambassador in Washington. Miss
Boardman has a desk in the offices of
the Red Cross society in the war de-
partment in Washington. Except for
a few weeks in summer she is there
daily from morning until all of the
work in sight is disposed of.

The UnreaIized Ideal,

The Unrealized Ideal.
My only Love is always near,
In country or in town;
l see her twinkling feet, hear
The whisper of her gown.
She foots it ever fair and young,
Her locks are tied in haste,
And one is DER her shoulder flung
And hangs below her waist.
She ran before me in the meads.
And down this world-worn track
She leads me on, but while she leads
She never gazes back.
And yet her voice is in my dreams,
To witch me more and more;
That wOoing voice. All me, it seems
Less near me than of yore.
Lightly l sped when hope was high
And youth beguiled the chase
l follow, follow still: but l
Shall never see her face.

Ask not how much | love thee;
Do not question why,

In the evening pale,
With tear and a sigh.

But now he is wild, and sings
That the stars above
Shine ever on love
Though they frown on the fate OF

And away thy sweet love cast;
But l am thine while the stars shall
shine,
To the laSt-to the last,

Louis z. Wagner, a St. Louis Afro
American was recently arrested for

Wagner, Negro, is a graduate of
Yale, and also studied at Southern
pers give the following account of
school for the ministry. He speaks
seven languages-Greek, Chinese,
Spanish, Yiddish, Arabic, German and
English. He writes shorthand and
claims to be a member of the Mis-
souri, Bar Association"
The foregoing ought to be glad
tidings to our old half Indian, half
Caucasian friend Ex-Governor Varda-
man, who has long commended that the
Afro-American is ruined by higher
education, but has hitherto had no
samples to support his theory. He
now has one, and perhaps before he
goes to the happy hunting grounds
he may find another. All things
come to him who waits.
The Yale authorities say there is
no such name as Louis z. Wagner on
the list of alumni but that does not
matter.

It certainly is very pleasing to note
the glory, praise and honor that is
being heaped upon the Philippine
Constabultary Band in Washington re-
Gently. This famous band led the in
augural parade and on last Saturday
it opened the next Potomac drive, as
it has been officially designated by
President Taft, who was present with
Mrs. Taft and many thousands of the
lesser lights of the Capital. The pa
pers devoted columns of their space
in praise of the wonderful music pro-
duced by this band because of it's
actual worth. Therefore We say we
are pleased because of the fact that
the leader is an Afro-American,
Capt. Loving, who began his career
as a musician in st. Paul where he
lived for over ten years. This goes
to verify the correctness of the poet
who said: .s-

SATURDAY, APRIL "a, 1909.
THE SILLY SOUTH.

It is agreat misfortune of the South
that the leaders allow political con-
siderations to outweigh everything
else. For instance, when, in the last
Congress, q bill was offered giving
to American steamers reasonable COM
pensation for carrying mails. nearly
every Southerner voted against it, be-
cause it was Republican measure.
The fact that such a measure would
be of immense value to New Orleans.
Mobile Pensacola and Galveston,
had no weight whatever with the
Southern Democrats. The Demo
cratic caucus decided that the. bill
must be beaten. and it was beaten.
William E. Curtis says:
There is no trade on the Missis-
sippi to speak of. New Orleans is
not an outlet for the products of the
Mississippi valley. It would not make
much difference with it's foreign COM
merce if the river should dry up.
There is plenty of water, but no
boats
The same writer also mentions the
immense resources of Louisiana-coal,
gas, salt, sulphur existing in the
ground in inexhaustible quantities,
surrounded by incapables who pay no

"Oh, you'd never have any trouble

find plenty of things with which to

could pick flaws in one another if
they had to drink coffee at the same
