red apple tempted Mister Hoke and
he did eat. That was the origin of
all our woes. Reform work came to

The registrars are really czars. In
a heated and close campaign they
would do what "the men who con-
troll desire and demand.
My own suggestion would be this:
Let the State pass an act restrict
ing the ballot to the white male
adults who prior to the election
have paid their taxes Then, if the
negroes fight the law, take it to the
Supreme Court, and test the Fifteenth
Amendment. That amendment was
not legally adopted, and I've often
wondered why it has never been di-
rectly assailed-just as I've wonder
ed why the importers have never
made the constitutional point
against the protective principle All
such tariffs as have succeeded the
antebellum acts have been uncon-
stitutional. But no one directly at

sault on the abominable, unlawful
and conf1scatory tariff. T. E. w.

ninety per cent. Of them, being dis
franchised, it now seems that some
of the white people may be disfran-

If l remember correctly. your in
fuence in 1905 and 1906 was on the
side that made such legislation as
you now criticize possible. That,
however, does not help the situation,
and is not what prompted me to
write.
Why not repeal the whole thing,
the granddaddy clause with the
rest? There is too much power vest

mary has generally answered every

tration and the election thirty or
sixty days apart, and there should be
an election in which the whites were
equally divided and the blacks
should hold the balance of power,
wouldn't the destiny of the election
be in the power of the registrars?
The Journal Numbered in stating
the law; the law itself is a blunder,
for human nature has generally
blundered where too much power
was vested in one place.

The Minstrel Show

The minstrel performance for the
benefit of the base ball club drew a
large audience to the Opera house Sat
urday night. Nearly every seat was filled
and everyone enjoyed the performance
from the opening to the closing act.
The applause that greeted every act
showed the temper of the audience and
proved that the efforts of the actors and
actresses were appreciated. We have
neither the time nor the inclination TO
mention each act, but will put them all
together and say that the whole show
was n blooming success and added a
snug little sum to the treasury of the
ball club. 1t is due to Mr.. A. p. GRAY.
the manager, to say that he knows how
to whip raw material into shape for 4
hrst-class laugh producing show. The
performance certainly showed that he
IS IL master of that kind of work and

Kill the Flies

the determination of the pests are being
circulated broadcast:

a dram of potash dissolved in two
ounces Of water and sweetened, is the
effective method of encouraging the
flies to kill themselves.
There are other sanitary regulations,
though. that the health report says
ought to be exercised.
Here are some of the ways suggested:

Especially those i'll with contagious dis
ehses. Kill every fly that enters the
sick room. Catch flies with sticky fly

this is important. The following should
be done
Sprinkle chloride of lime or kero-
sene over contents of gan bage boxes and
other refuse
Keep garbage receptacles tightly
covered. Clean the cans daily. Clean
the boxes every week.
Pour kerosene into the drains; keep
sewerage system in good order; clean
cuspidors every day; keep five per
cent solution of carbolic acid in them
all the time.
Don't allow dirt to accumulate in
corners, behind doors, back of radiators
or under stoves. 80
Do not allow decaying material of
any sort to accumulate on or near your
premises. ...
Remember: No dirt, no flies.
In addition to that here is remedy
that is suggested as simple and effective
for Kidding the house of the fly:
The formula which | have used
with great success in making the house
unattractive to flies is as follows: Boil
for five minutes a pint of water in
which has been placed Il quarter of a
teaspoonful of carbolic acid During
the five minutes that this solution is
kept boiling all doors and windows
should be kept tightly closed. The
flies that have not been killed by the
fumes will at once leave the house.
Repeat the process about twice d week
and the house can be kept free of flies. )"

THE TARIFF AND THE HOME

something incisive and convincing to
say. She spoke the woman's viewpoint

But here is II specific and ,.ndaniable
instancc which Hiss Ida Tarbeii--not
the first to do so-has strikingIy point
ed out. Here is Il sober suggestion to
tax, not only the poor. Stockings are
not luXurics. Shoes are not luxurics.
Rubber ovcrshOcs are Ii 1t luxuries. The
feet of the children of the poor must he
protected from the clements if their
health is to be preserved. And it is the
ten or twelve million mn5hurs, TO whom
Miss Tarhcll refers, who must buy these
stockings, shoes and rubborS from that
pitiful little income.
Stockings and shoes for four children
make sud inroa'ls into the little wage
OF two or three dollars day. What
will the increase of 30 or even % Der
cent, mean to that family? If more
money must be paid for stockings and
shoes, less money must Inc snnnt for
bread and butter. 1t is very simple
problem, for the income remains CON
slant. Is this not taking the necessi-
ties Of the poor?
Congress can afford TO look well into
the tariff on shoes and stockings. -- De-
