Learn to Swim.
From the Baltimore Sun.


The accidental drowning OF five
girls in the Hacllensack river, New
Jersey. Friday. when great gust of
wind upset a row-boat in which they
were crossing, and the multitude OF
similar accidents every summer, call
attention to the importance of learning
to swim. Girls can swim as well as
boys. and every girl ought to find op-
portunity to learn how. In the Hack
ensack river case the three men escap-
ed because they could swim, but the
young women all went to the bottom
To women who have not learned to
swim the old injunction, Don't go
near the water" is wise and infallible.
But some time or other every woman
runs the risk of getting spilled into
deep water, and for that mishap she
needs a little knowledge and practice
in swimming. A very little OF this
knowledge goes long way. 1t pre-
vents persons from getting terrorized
and enables them to keep agloat or get
to boat, plank or oar. The best
time to learn is when child and i'll
the summer. Once learned the art Is
never forgotten. The waters about
Baltimore offer abundant opportuni-
ties to parents who wish to educate
their girls and boys In matter more
important than many ologies Of the
schools.

TAFT Will BE Heard From.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.


None need apprehend that the presi-
dent will not speak or write his views
when he is convinced that his duty
calls on him to do SO. He will not be
silent or inactive then. He should
not be prejudged before then. We do
not believe he will be misjudged then.
And he should not be judged at all un-
Til then. The democrats and republi-
cans in congress are making their COIL
tribution to a discussion In their prop.
er time Mr.. Taft will make his opin-
ions and wishes known after congress
shall have submitted Its work to him.
Congress and the country will then
hear from him. Till then his set pur-
pose is to preserve "a mastery mac
tivity." to revive phrase Of John c.
Calhoun. and this mastery inactiv-
ity' he is entitled to preserve until
Congress shall have created an occa-
sion and a duty for him to exchange 1t
for action and for utterance.

Fourth Of July.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
II the customary celebration of the
national birthday could be confined to
the use by the youngsters of the old
fashioned firecrackers and OF such
more ambitious fireworks rs could be
brought under competent control. the
annual protests against the usual
Fourth of July methods would lose
much of their force. Those who have
not lost altogether the spirit of youth
can not forget wholly the joys at
tendant upon the one annual relaxa-
ton from the canons of quietude and
decorum and are loath to impose too
rigid restraint upon the youthful
generation of today. Yet common
sense teaches that the American cele-
bration Of Independence day is neither
sane nor sensible. The annual sacri-
flee Of thousand lives and the waste
Of hundreds Of thousands of dollars
worth Of property by fires started by
careless and Indifferent celebrators
cannot be defended as calculated to i'm
press the spirit of patriotism upon the
rising citizenship Of America.

ASHE Has TROUBLES
Richmond Man at Present
Time Not Sleeping in a
Bed of Roses.
OBJECTIONS TO POLE LINE

Robert Ashe is not sleeping in a bed
OF roses every night now. He is try
ing to arrange a pole line from this
city to Liberty to carry high tension
electric wires. Ashe has obtained a
contract with the town Of Liberty to
furnish electric power and the supply
will be from this city. There is a
number of farmers along the line who
do not take kindly to the proposition
and object to having poles placed in
their fields. Ashe has franchise with
the county and that affords him Off
cial sanction, but he has to make his
other arrangements with the land own
ers. In some instances these appear
hard to make.

Politics have their important place

made evident at Liberty in way that

council has added - cents to the tax

Thousands Of pages have been
printed about the Negro-rang-

Bones and Tambo to the ethno-

But the truth is yet to be told.
Because the Negro is an I'M

"The Unknowable Negro" by
Harris N. Dickson, is the best
and fairest article of its kind we
have seen.
For the first time the Negro is
fairly written about by a man
who knows no Mason-D Dixon line.
Judge Dickson might be called a
Nationalist. He has lived much
of his life in the North and has
the Northern point of view. His
home is in the very heart of the
Negro Belt--and he knows the
Southern viewpoint. His won

STOLE THE SAME
COW TWICE

They have a queer case at the
penitentiary. Sam Kirk, soon 20 be
released, Is serving his second term.
Kirk stole the same COW twice. and
there is a tradition that he will make
another try for the COW If that ami
NAL Is still living when he gets mis-
freedom. Kirk took the cav and
was caught and convicted. He was
sent Il the penitentiary for one year.
He announced that as soon as he
got out he would go back home and
get that COW. 1t IS thought that he
felt he had earned the COW by reason
OF having served one year in the
penitentiary for stealing :he animal.
True to his promise, as soon as
ne was released he went back home
ard again stole the COW. He was
convicted and sent up for double his
first term. Now Kirk is almost
ready TO go back home again, and
/. Is hoped by the prison authorities
that the cow is dead so Kirk can
stay out of prison.
II is recorded that he never did
anything wrong except steal that
COW, that he lad species OF mono
mania which led him TO take the COW.
