"Injustice to Voters"

at is an injustice to many negroes to
deprive them of the right of suffrage. A
number OF them are self-respecting and
property owners. To make them political
outlaws will tend to make them bad
citizens and produce disrespect for the
government and the laws.
The amendment will complicate the
voting Of all classes, and there is no
necessity for such law in this state. The
negro dominates nothing in our politics.
and the proposed amendment applies to
whites as we'll as colored.
1T affords a chance for either party, if
INSCRIPTIONS, to interfere with the rights
OF free electoral ballot. And, above
ali other considerations, we want to pro-
tect every citizen in the right of a free,
untrammeled ballot"

GIRLS, BALL THROWING CONTEST
Trying in the Northwest to Beat the
 American Record.

From the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
 The second annual ball-throwing con- test with girls and women of this coun- try, British Columbia. and Canada as con- testants, will be held in October, and judging from last years experience it will be one of the popular events of the year.
 Aside from the prize the successful con- testant in 1909 will win the International ball throwing championship. and this is distinction worth striving for.
 Miss Frances Jackling of Seattle won last years contest, throwing the ball 192 feet and Inches. Miss Frances Fox of Aberdeen won second honor, with a rec ord of 176 feet and 4 inches, and Miss Ethel McAllister of Seattle was third with a record of 174 feet In throwing against the record of 1s5 feet and inches, made by Miss Alice Bedding of Vassar

RESCUED FROM SCALPING
BY PAUL VILLlERs.

Paris, October 9.-With the collar of a shabby overeoat turned up and an old hat over his eyes a little spare, elderly gentleman was captured the other even ing by party of students registering in the Latin Quarter. They danced round him in a ring, made believe to scalp him, and generally nagged him
 A policeman sauntered up. then, after one look at the little elderly gentleman, dashed in to the party, hit out on all sides, and rescued him. It was his great chief, M. Lepine, prefect of police
 His identity revealed, the students. not much abashed, made amends by shout ing, '.Vive Lepinea and insisted on form ing themselves into a bodyguard to see him home and keep possible Apaches at bay
 M Lepine rather enjoyed his evening. His great amusement is to play Haroun- A-Raschid in Paris by night. Almost every evening after dinner, he puts on an old coat and shabby hat and goes out exploring on foot He listens with the idiest, and there is no more absorbed 'badaud'' when a horse falls down or cabman and a taxi driver have a few words.
 Nobody marks him, but he keeps his eyes open and notes every policeman on duty. The next morning the constable may get a reprimand or a five franc piece, and wonder what invisible power detected him in remissness or saw him do a kind deed, to punish or reward him afterward

 The little, elderly gentleman was crushed and went out But the next day Messrs. the Commissary and his deputy were suspended.
 On another night, a pouring wet one, M Lepine, soaked, bespattered with mud and umbrellaless, went up to a consta- ble at the door of police station and asked if he might go in and warm him self bit.
