Responsibility In Africa.

The responsibility of America toward Africa Is emphasized because of our past history, and because of the num- Der of our citizens who are of African descent. As result of the African slave trade, that crime of the ages, and of two and a half centuries of slavery in America, the United States has near ly 10,000,000 of colored people as a part of its citizenship. No other coun- try outside of Africa has so large a negro population; and, what is more, there are no other 10, ,0o0, ,000 of negroes In the world who own as much prop erty and have as large a per cent who are intelligent, moral and thrifty. The education and uplift of the Ameri- can negro now going forward should be accomplish ed by the increase of the missionary and Christian forces on the continent from which his ancestors came. The number of those who go as missionaries to Africa will increase; and it Is not unreasonable to suppose that a large share of the leadership for the evangelization of the continent will be furnished from among our own colored leaders in America.
 In the redemption of Africa all sec tions of the Christian church must be united, but Methodism, because of the vast numbers it represents and the spirit and methods of its movements, should have a share of especial note. The spirit of Methodism is the spirit of expansion and of worldwide con quests in the kingdom of righteous ness. John Wesley's motto was "The world Is my parish" I hope the Meth odists of today will make this statement good

Numerous Charges.

Continuing his denunciation, MT. Willeu charged that the President had bulldozed President Castro, has seen the Filipinos brutally treated, had marooned Colonel Stewart, whom he did not like; had kept a young woman from earning an honest living by telling the truth; had allowed "scandalous conditions to exist in the army and navy; had compelled his sub ordinates ito act as hunting dogs for the Czar of Russian in trailing down men who have fought for liberty" had prae- tically e-established the John Adams alien and sedition laws; had forced deser- tions from the navy by allowing intoler- able treatment of sailors at the hands of aristocracy of Annapolis officers; had permitted the degrading of soldiers at West Point who had been put to menia1 work and had given a Scotch verdict In connection with the alleged Panama scan dal.
 In concluding. he said. among other things:
 You may say then, that one individual eargoyle does not count for much after all. No. not in the development of the centuries, but he counts vitally and con tinuously as affecting the people who have to live under him. And the change from a Nero fddling while Rome is burn ing to a Vesparian calmly devoted to se- curing as good government as tendencies ,uJl permit is a change to be as de- doutly welcomed by us as by the ancient Romans"

American liberty. as a filthy little athe- ist,' of miracle-believing Roman Catholics as persons of arrested mental develop ment, Of Quakers as quite as undesirable citizens as duelists.' But he has been frank enough in abusing other Presidents to shut the lips of his defenders on the dignity of the presidential office"
 MT. Willett declared that consistency is jewel which the gargoyle is always throwing to the swine" No king. he said, in any limited monarchy, was ever half so exigent or ever half so implicable.
 For a precedent" he added, you must go back to Napoleon the Great, the oldest member of the gargoyles' Ananas club who used to ask the wives of his thrifty favorites whether they could only afford one gown a year, who said once to the wife of one of his fighting mar shals, Your dress is dirty and who in- sisted on doing all the matchmaking in his official .circle.'
 King and a Court.
 The democracy of Lincoln he said, the bluff Americanism of Grant and Cleveland, the equally American suavity of Arthur and Mckinley had passed into history, "along with the joviality Of Garfield and the non-eonformist thrift of Rutherford B. Hayes"
 We have a king and court now" MT. Willett exclaimed, 'as good an imitation of a real thing known to the nobility of monarchical countries as the scion of family-trading Dutchman can concoct."
 At this juncture MT. Willett called the roll of the so-called Ananias club, and said:
 "The earth is intoxicated and reels around our jocularity. He alone is the personifeation of sobriety, temperateness of statement calmness in speech and ac- tion. The every moving hay-tedder hur- ries over the field, throwing upward the clover of politics, the timothy of zoology, the bluegrass of history, and letting each blade fall a little drier than 1t was be- fore.
 Jealousy you can read in the gargoyle's distorted features
 You look on those twisted lines and it is easy, oh, so easy, to understand the insolence toward Dewey, the one great fighter of the Spanish American war; tho hero who took Manila with the worst ships a rotten beaureacracy could find for him.
 "The persistent defamation of Admiral Schley, who really fought the battle of Santiago bay.
 '"The insults heaped upon General Miles, whose counsel was ignored in the ex- pensive blunders of the land campaign at Santiago.
 "The President" Mir. Willett declared, showed his teeth at all real heroes be- cause real heroes are gall and wormwood to bogus ones.''

TAFT FAvoRS A
TARIFF BUREAU
Believes Present Congress
Should Create Body.
ASSISTANCE IS NEEDED

Proposed Commission Would Be of
Great Help to the Executive in the
Application of the Maximum and
Minimum Principle of the Payne
Bill and in Negotiating Foreign
Trade Agreements.
Washington, April president
Taft has declared himself in favor of
a tariff bureau to be created at this
session of congress. He believes that
such bureau would be of great as
sistance to him in the application of
the maximum and minimum principle
of the Payne bill in the negotiation
Of foreign trade agreements, as well
as in furnishing detailed information
to congress and to the White House
ON various tariff questions as they
arise. The presidents announcement
was made to the executive committee
of the committee of 100 created by the
national tariff convention recently
held in Indianapolis.
This committee, consisting Of H. E
Miles, chairman; Henry r. Towne OF
New York and D. A. Tompkins oi
Charlotte, N. c., called at the White
House to lay before the president
the views of the tariff convention and
to recommend permanent tariff com
mission. The members of the execu
tive committee agree with the presi
dent that it is necessary for congress
to provide commission or bureau for
the aid of the executive and OF the
legislative departments of the govern
ment and they will use their influence
as far as possible to secure Legislation
on the subject at this session of con
gress.
