The "lone Star" to the Red Planet"

From somewhere down here In Texas
We shall yell hello TO Mars
AND shall Hash joyous greeting
FROM the old earth to the stars,
And well tell them OF the wonders
We've accomplished. and we'll trace
All our deeds In lightning flashes
Throughout interstellar space.
We will tell them how Wright brothers
Have at last learned how to fit
Like bald eagles. and well show them
The United States is 1t,
And we'll tell of other wonders
That 1t has been ours to do
And of other dreams we're dreaming
That will soon be coming true.
And we'll send a message for them,
Message for each Martian chap,
Simply telling them it's Texas,
That bright place upon the map
That they're looking at, and tell them
We have watermelons here
And the best Of red Strawberries,
Red and luscious all the year.
And we'll signal them with cabbage
In symmetrical designs
Or tomatoes tall and growing
Or with watermelon vines
We have gardens big enough to
BE seen through the miles Of space
We don't need a mile wide mirror.
Well grow signals on the place.
When we show them miles Of cabbage,
Green and growing. and a bunch
OF sleek cattle twill be asking
Them to come across to lunch.
When we show them miles Of melons
Round and hefty on the vine
They will know they will be welcome
II they'll step across to dine.
oh, they'll signal Mars from Texas.
They will be compelled to do that,
For 1t is a cinch that Texas
Is the snot they're looking at,
And the effort would be wasted
If 'twere put forth otherwhere.
Texas" will be the first signal
That goes leaping through the afr.

:" If it had not been passed, it might
be difficult now to adopt it; but with
it in our fundamental law the policy
of Southern legislation must and will
tend to obey it, and so long as the
statutes Of the states meet the test of
this amendment and are not otherwise
an conflict with the Constitution and
laws of the United States, it is not
the disposition or within the province
of the Federal Government to inter
fere with the regulation by Southern
States of their domestic affairs.
The negroes are now Americans.
We are charged with the
sacred duty of making their path as
smooth and easy as we can. Any rec
ignition Of their distinguished men,
any appointment to Office from among
their number, is properly taken as an
encouragement and AN appreciation
Of their progress, and this just policy
snail De pursued.
"But it may we'll admit of, doubt
whether, in the case of any race, an
appointment of one Of their number
to a local Office in a community, in
which the race feeling is so widespread
and acute as to interfere with the case
and facility with which the local gov
eminent business can be done by the
appointee, is of sufficient benefit by
way Of encouragement to the race to
outweigh the recurrence and increase
of race feeling which such an appoint
ment is likely to engender. There
fore, the Executive in recognizing the
negro race by appointment must ex-
ercise careful discretion not thereby
to do it more harm than good. On

that some kind of ditch be made as
soon as possible.
A strong army and navy are urged
and economy not favored in these par
ticulars. Wants the President to be
enabled, through Federal Courts, to
enforce treaty obligations and the
S>rights of foreigners in the United
States. This is Rooseveltian central
ization with vengeance.
Mr.. Taft has nothing at all to of
fer on the money question (he's get
ting his) but does favor a postal say
ings Dank system.
Wants subsidies to establish steam
ships carrying mail to South America
and the Orient.
On the injunction question, he is
decided and desires that the. courts re-
tain this necessary power, under laws
insuring that it be not abused, and
Mr.. Taft is also anxious for laws
against child labor and for lettering
labor conditions generally.
His address has been awaited with
particular interest in the South, where
he. has spent many months in getting
acquainted with its people, and we
therefore quote that part Of his speech
touching the race question and his
policy toward the Southern States:
II look forward with hope to in
creasing the already good feeling be-
tween the South and the other sections
of the country.
"While the Fifteenth Amendment
has not been generally observed in
the past, it ought to be observed, and
the tendency of Southern legislators
today is toward the enactment of cleo
toral qualifications which shall square
with that amendment. Of course, the
mere adoption of constitutional law
as only one step in the right direction.
1t must be fairly and justly enforced
as we'll. In time both will come.
Hence it is clear to all that the DOM
ination of an ignorant, irresponsible
element can be prevented by constitu-
tional laws which shall exclude from
voting both negroes and whites not
having education or other qualifca-
tions thought to be necessary for a
proper electorate.
There was time when Northern
ers, who sympathized with the negro
IN his necessary struggle for better
conditions, sought to give him the suf
frage as a protection and to enforce
its exercise against the prevailing sem
timent OF the South. The movement
proved to be failure. What remains
is the Fifteenth Amendment to the
Constitution and the right to have
statutes of states specifying qualif
cations for electors subjected to the
test of compliance with that amend
ment. This is a great protection to
the negro. It never will be repealed,

out OF doors the oath Of Office was ad-

follows:

An adherence to the Roosevelt
policies" in so far as regulation of
railroads and corporations is concern
ed, with a note in favor of relieving
the railroads from those provisions of
the Sherman antitrust law which in
his opinion should not apply. ct was,
as will be remembered, the idea of
Mr.. Roosevelt and Hartman to free
the railroads from the workings of the
Sherman law, put them under the au-
thority Of the Interstate Commerce
Commission and then-prevent the
Commission from exercising any par
ticular authority, it having been held
In one instance already that the Com

These same antitrust laws are also

can "be assured of that measure Of
stability and certainty in respect to
those things that may be done and
those that are prohibited, which is es-
sential to the life and growth of all
business.
This is a good idea in Mr.. Taft-~if
he will have the law speak for itself
absolutely, and not leave it to the ex-
ecutive to say whether or not Federal
connivance shall be given to any I'M
lawful proceeding such as the Steel

TERRIFIC IN MIDDLE WEST
Death and Destruction Follow In
Wake of Storm.

Chicago, May 3.-Death and de-
struction followed in the wake of the
terrific storm which swept over the
Middle West, including Chicago in
its path of devastation. Here many
buildings were unroofed, homes blown
over and scores of people driven into
the storm, many narrowly escaping
with their lives. Three men were
killed at Grand Crossing, suburb, in
the collapse of factory.
In the path of the storm before it
reached the Great Lakes region great
destruction of property lis reported
and at least eleven are known to have
been killed.
At Golden. Mo-, the business sec
tion of the town was destroyed and
many homes were wrecked. Five per.
sons lost their lives. At Summerville,
Mo-, the wind created havoc and two
persons were killed few miles north
of the town. Many were injured.
The storm was furious in the south
ern part of Illinois and at Texas City,
near Carmi, four persons were killed
and many seriously wounded.
Great damage to property and crops
was caused in Michigan on the east
shore of Lake Michigan, Benton Har.
bor and South Haven being in the
path Of the storm.
