afoot to erect permanent home for

different republics were to contribute
in proportion to population as they
do for the annual expenses of the in
stitution. Several of the South Amer
lean countries proceeded on this basis,
and there was something like $4,000
on hand when the congress of the
United States declared for a more pre-
tentious building and appropriated
100000 instead of merely it's share OF
the $125,000. Soon after Andrew Car.

Beauties of the Marble BUILDING.
With three-quarters of million dol

building, the Pan-American bureau
was enabled to devote s250,0OO on

most admirable tract of several acres
was secured in an ideal location south
of the White House and overlooking

PALACE GIVEN BY CARNEGIE
Formal Opening Is a Brilliant Affair
and Is Followed by Great
Reception In the

Washington.-The beautiful marble
palace erected as a home for the In
ternational Bureau of the American
Republics was dedicated Tuesday with
elaborate ceremony in which the rep
resentatives of the nations of the west
ern hemisphere, as joint proprietors of
the building, took the chief part.
The erection of the building was
made possible by Andrew Carnegie,
who gave $750,000 of the million which
It and its site have cost, and the
ronmaster was one of the chief
guests and speakers at the dedi-
cation ceremony. President Taft
deliveries fine address, and speeches
were made by Senior de la Barra,
the Mexican ambassador; Secre-
tary of State Knox and John Barrett,
director Of the bureau, who was in
charge of the ceremonies. Prayers
were delivered by Cardinal Gibbons
and by a clergyman of the Protestant
faith.
Or course all the members of the
diplomatic corps who were in the city
were present, and these brilliantly
uniformed gentlemen. together with
scores of ladies in their beautiful
spring costumes. made the scene most
picturesque.
Brilliant Evening Reception.
Nearly everybody in Washington
wanted to attend the dedication cere
monies, but the hall of ambassadors
seats only 800 people. So Mr.. Bar
rett arranged for a reception in the
evening in honor of President and Mrs
Taft and Mr.. and Mrs. Carnegie. In
vitations were sent to members of the
diplomatic corps and to official and
resident society, and the reception
proved to be one of the most brilliant
affairs of the season. The Marine band

There Is a tendency among the col
ored people to exult over Johnson's
victory as II 1t were the triumph of the
black race. In this they are making
a mistake Mr.. Johnson's victory was
an individual matter entirely and was
due to the fact that his white antagon-
list was an inferior man. The victory
proves nothing more than that Jeffries
was unfit to fight. It certainly does not
prove, or even indicate, the superiority
of the black man as an athlete and
should not be considered as doing So
The future of the individual black man
must be worked out along the same
lines that success must come to the
individual white man. There is no
compensation feature in the matter of
color. II the black boy would grow up
to be an influential and useful citizen

Upon what theory are we to under
stand the silent acquiescence of the
republican party in the nefarious Hook
decisions? Are they so completely
dominated by the railroad interests
chat they are powerless to protect
against the infamy? Are they SO pref
udiced against the constitution that
they indorse the exploitations of the
people that the constitution may be
shorn Of its strength. Are they care
less OF public robbery. whenever that
robbery tends to obstruct democratic
administration? Or is silent acduies-
cence in railroad pillage one of the
conditions imposed by the railroads
when they first began to finance the
republican campaigns? But while the
real cause of the silence is conjeetuaI,
the silence itself is open as the skies.

There is no question but the trend is
cpuee-ward in the campaign for the
democratic nomination for governor at
the present juncture. Seldom has a
candidate developed strength so rapid
ly as has Cruce in the last two weeks
Since the beginning of the joint de-
bate proposed by Murray and reluct-
antly acceeded to by Cruce, the latter
has had steady gain until now It has
almost taken on the momentum of
stampede.
Lee Cruce started his campaign on
the theory that party harmony was
ESSENTIAL to success, not only at the
primary but also at the general cleo
tion and therefore sought to unite
every faction and began by attacking
no one and approving all that was com
mendible in the present administra-
tion. The friends of Cruce all over the
state believe that he was the man to
lead the fight against the enemy and
this Judgment is being abundantly vim
dicated
Cruce has made good in the canvass.
He has developed strength as a cam
paign speaker and measured up to the
proper dimensions Of candidate to
lead the democratic party to success
at time more or less critical in the
history of the party in Oklahoma. The
democratic party of Oklahoma is now
convinced that Cruce can win and with
the stamp of availability upon him he
has stepped to the front as the leader
of the party and from now on will have
things his own way.
