SIGNS OF A BEAUTIFUL BUSI-
NESS SPRING.

Every issue of this newspaper accu-
mulates evidence sthat Washington has
passed the turning OF the tide to better
local business conditions. With a payroll
as secure as the Government. the Capital
is largely independent of outside depres-
sion. But there are fields of our com
merce which respond to such a wide
spread influence as the recent panic, OF
which operation in real estate is per
haps the chief, and they reflect m-
mistakably the trend of business in
other sections.
But today the District realty mart
is as active as it has been in years.
The whole field of trading has taken ON
new life. Jn one week are reported
sales setting new price records I'm three
different classes of realty suburban
property, city residence property. and
business property. The sales OF land
outlying the city are for small homes
and presage an active sPriug building
season. The largest sale of city resi-
dence property Is noted as am invest
ment, and has interest not only iu in
dicatiug the buyers faith that local
prices are still further to advance. but
in starting $4,000 of outside money
moving la Washington realty circles
The business property was sold at s50
a square loot, record price indeed Io
corner q block distant from 81 main

Plans are already with Che builders
Tor fifty new houses in g. single suburb
The reports are that contractors gem
orally anticipate q busy spring. That
means active money for the supply
men. an increased wage fund, a season
Of busy buying from our merchants
and in large measure a general local
recovery from amy depression which
has resulted iu the District from Tn,
recent general panic. 1T Is good 10 think

NEGROES SCORE
TAFT POLICIES
DEMAND BY RESOLUTIONS THAT
HE SQUARE HIMSELF WITH
CHICAGO PLATFORM.

Columbus, Ohio, May 2S.-After a
prolonged debate and discussion the
national negro American league last
night adopted resolutions conedmning
President Taft's alleged policy OF
retrogression, and declared it had no
him previous to his election. The
resolutions declare that Mr.. Taft's Ut.
terances have been in effect an invi-
tation to white men to make it appear
that there was opposition to the ap-
pointment of colored men to Office
and have tended to justify the new
constitutions adopted in the southern
states, designed to eliminate the ne
gro voters. Appointments made by
the president are criticized, especially
OF democrats with alleged ante
bellum tendencies. The appointment
of a federal judge in North Coralina
especially is cited. The attitude of
the president has had an effect preju-
dicial to the negro in his industrial
life, it is declared, inasmuch as mem
bership in labor unions which they
have held for years now has been
seriously objected to. The resolutions
denounce Mr.. Taft's executive color
line policy" and demand that he
square his policies with the Chicago
platform as far as the fourteenth and
fifteenth amendments are concerned.

SENATOR BURKE IN
GREAT-HEART ROLE
PLEADS ELOQUENTLY AND EFF
FECTIVELY FOR PROTECTION
OF GODS CREATURES.
Madison, Nav rs


With amendments restoring the
open season for shooting ducks to the
present dates and providing that the
open season for game fish is to com
mence May % instead of June l, the
committee fish and game bill was
ing, thoroughly revising the game
laws of Wisconsin with the idea of
uniformity.
The feature of the debate was the
speech of Senator Timothy Burke of
Green Bay on the amendment offered
the number of deer permitted to each
hunter. The senator pleaded for the
bill as the committees child, con-
ceived in reason and born in compro-
mise and in the course of his speech
spoke of the beautiful game birds of
the north winging their way to bask
in the suns perpetual smile on the
Gulf of Mexico.
He charged that the amendments
offered came from senators who had
never shown their faces inside of the
preservation of game as the last of
the national and state resources so
swiftly passing away, the deer even
now are following in the footsteps OF
the buffalo and the Indian, although
/ should not classify the latter as
game animal observed the Green
Bay lawmaker while the senate roared
in laughter.
At the conclusion of the speech Sen
ator Randolph complained to the SEN
ate because the senator from the
second had waited with his speech
until the deer amendment was offered
and now | can see its finish, the
finish of my amendment" he added;
and he was right. The amendment
was voted down to 10 and the bill
as amended in other respects was
passed under suspension of the rules
by vote of "a to 2.
