R0OSEVELT'S PLAN
 IS PETERING OUT
Special from United Press.)

 Washington. Oct 5.-Former Presi- dent Roosevelt's scheme for raising his conservation policy to the dignity of a world movement is on the verge of dropping out of sight in the morass of state department archives. Out of the 49 countries with accredited represen- tativeS at Washington who were in viled to participate in the proposed in ternational congress only 19 have ac- cepted, and there is grave doubt in official quarters whether the move ment will extend beyond this first preliminary stage.
 launched Fduring the closing days of the last administration. At President Roosevelt's direction Robert Bacon, then secretary of state, sent out in vitations to the foreign countries and the advocates of the conservation of natural resources as an administrative policy hailed the announcement with marked enthusiasm. In the excitement incident upon the change of admins tration, however. the plan was left suspended in midair. Replies came in slowly and in the few months that followed, international conservation appears to have f1oated into the dol drums. Apparently it is still there with nobody to bring it out, now that the sponsor for the idea is in South Africa.
 Just what is to become of it is a question. Some of the countries which have accepted the invitation to take part in the congress are world powers, such as England. Germany and Italy. Most of the other replies are from smaller countries. Inasmuch as the invitations have been accepted by some countries. it is probable that an effort will be made to carry the idea through to some sort of a finish at least. whether the aim of the sponsor is realized or not

FORCIBLY FED BY
 STOMACH PUMP
Special from United. Press.)

Birmingham, Eng, Oct. 5.-Miss Laura Ainsworth, one of the suf- fragettes who was forcibly fed by means of a stomach pump to prevent her starving herself to death in the Birmingham jail, is in a serious con- ditions in a hospital as a result of the forcible feeding. Miss Ainsworth, all though suffering terrible agony, gave out a statement in the presence of her lawyer, and Miss Christabel Pank- hurst, another suffragette, for the use of the prosecuting authorities in the event of her death. Miss Ainsworth was transferred from the jail to the hospital with the utmost secrecy. Her condition has alarmed. the jail authori- ties and they wished to keep the case quiet.
 Six suffragettes are still confined in Birmingham jail and following the dis covery of Miss Ainsworth's condition, lawyers visited them. All of the wo- men had been subjected to the same stomach pump feeding process.

Chairman David S. Day of the com mission appointed to inquire into the cost of producing electricity at the plant of the United Illuminating Co., announced this morning that the hear ing scheduled for tonight will be post poned until some time next week. The reason for the postponement is that President James English of the com pany is said to be i'll and not able to come here tonight. When the hearing is called next week it will be held in the day time.
 If the illness of those needed con- tinues the committee can probably ar range to have the investigation go over until after election.

ELECTIONS IN
 CONNECTICUT
Waterbury Republicans
 Elect Entire Ticket-Ma- han Wins in New London.

According to belated returns to-day one of the most interesting points in the city and town elections held throughout this state yesterday was the enormous vote that was boiled. In a number of the larger cities and in the towns where the license question was the main issue, the vote ran ahead of that cast in the Presidential cleo tion last year.
 The result of the sharp fight on the license question showed a slight gain for the 'wets." The large towns and cities that voted on the question de- cided in favor of license.

1t can be safely said that progress
despite opposition has characterized
the Negroes life in America In a most
extraordinary degree. In fact the
most casual reader of American his
tory cannot fail to be amazed when he
contemplates the Negoos condition
now as compared with 1t when the
first cargo Of slaves landed here in
chains.
When the white man landed on
this continent in pursuit of Freedom
to worship God he was struck by its
latent possibilities and confronted by
his need of laborers to develop these
resources. The rowing Indian could
not be yoked to perform this stupen-
dous task, so Africa was resorted to
for the purpose of furnishing the one

brought here as an immediate ne
cessity and by his innate qualities
has become a permanent necessity.

not come within the purview of the
Constitution as originally adopted.

Dred Scott Decision would never
have seen the light or day. II the
Declaration of independence had been,
adoption and PRONUNCIATION of the
public opinion, the war 81 and '65
would never have blighted the Ma

apdoption and PRONUNCIATION of the
war amendments to the Constitution
were belated utterances of the people
that "This nation cannot survive half
slave and half free"

The commencement exercises Of
two of Nashville's largest, Oldest and
most noted religious educational insti-
tutions began this week. They are
attracting widespread attention. The
schools are Roger Williams Univer-
sity, under its new management, and
Walden University. Possibly the
largest crowd attended and best ex-
ercises in the history of Walden Uni
versity proper were held this week.
The exercises began Monday night,
when the Normal Department, with a
large class, presented an appropriate
program, spliced with music. Tues
day night the Law Department exer-
cises were held. This department
was also ably represented and well
attended during the term. The prin-
cipal speaker to address the class was
Prof. Zeller The most enjoyable ex-
ercise so far was the program rem
dered Wednesday night, which was
Alumni night. There were two speak
ers, both graduates of Walden, one
was Miss Lady Emma Louise Phillips,
who spoke on behalf of the ladies,
and the other was Mr.. T. G. Ewing,
Jr,, who is here from Mississippi as
the special guest of the Alumni Of
Walden University. Mr.. Ewing deliv-
cred an able address and was given
marked attention. It is impossible
to give his address in full. He said
in part:
Doubtless all of us can be benefited
by comparing notes at this time when
the question: what is to be- done
with the Negro?" is being discussed
with such spirit and vigor.
While this question IS no new one
in our country, its unexpected recur-
renee in its stereotyped form is cal
culated to give all thinking men
among UNUSUAL concern. Some
of us had dared to hope and even ex-
pect that soon the Negro as a polit-
ical issue would be eliminated from
the arena of national and state ques-
tions; and the very fact that our
status is regarded as peculiar carries
the conviction that We are not yet re-
garded as a homogeneous part Of the
nation but are still to be dealt with
as thing apart.
If then constitutional governments
cannot discriminate against its out
lying provinces, how can Republic
which is founded in the equality Of
its citizens exist where its govern
mental policy is to be adjusted to the
complexion of the skin or any other
adventitious circumstances?
For my part have confidence In
the sanity and patriotism Of the
American people. Let no man cher
ish apprehension for either the des-
tiny of the Negro in America or our
political establishment, if President
Taft should not appoint single Ne
gro to a Federal position during his
administration, for political prefer
ment is not essential to our citizen
ship and well-being.
Perhaps it would be best for us II
he should thus throw us upon our
own resources, and divert our atten-
tion from the Federal government.
For at this stage Of our development
it is far more essential that we should
awaken to a sense Of our own powers,
independent CT governmental assis-
tance, than to have our vanity fat
tered by a few minor appointments.
It would be far better for us to come
into our own by dint of merit, than
to be coddled by sentiment and polit-
cal expedients, for history tells us
