and should be passed around. But
that opinion is fast dying out.
No better example need be cited
than the case of the goVernorship of
Tennessee. Hon. M. R. Patterson
has served two terms as governor,
but despite the old custom of chang
ing after that length of time the DEM
ocrats feel that it would be wise for
the state to retain Mr.. Patterson for
a third term. No better man has
ever served the state, and why
change? All the people will hail the
governors announcement to run again
with satisfaction, and will, We believe,
compliment him with the largest vote
in November that any man has ever
received from the citizens of the Vol
unteer State.

ONE MAN IN EVERY FOUR IN
NEW YORK A JEW.

Burton J. Hendrick in McCLUREs
MAGAZINE for May.)
The last great element in present
day immigration is, properly speak
ing, not European at all. but Oriental.
The migration of hundreds of thou
sands of eastern European Jews to the
United States is one of the stupendous
facts of modern times. 1t is unQues-
tionably the most far-reaching event
in the annals of Israel since the fall
of Jerusalem Purely from the stand
point of numbers, history records
nothing like it. In the two thousand
years that this people has been home
less, forcing its presence upon the un'
welcoming nations of Europe, it has
been subjected to many explosions,
many forced migrations; bue never
have it's comings and goings resembled
the present masslike movement to the
United States. The expulsion Of the
Jews from England, in the reign OF
Edward l., is sorry chapter in their
history; yet this edict exiled only
about $4,000 people, less than one-tenth
the number that landed in New York
last year. The expulsion of the Jews
from Spain by Ferdinand and Isabella
has been tragically described by many
historians, but it affected only 10000
souls, less than one quarter Of the
present Jewish population of New
York, Jerusalem, in it's greatest days
contained less than one-sixth the mum
Der of Jews now found in the Ameri
can metropolis; indeed, about one
tenth Of all the Jews in the world, OF
100000, live upon Manhattan Island
and the adjoining territory. In the
greater city one man in every four is
a Jew.

FRIDAY, APRIL %, 1910.
PREPARE TO VOTE.

Every man who Is entitled to ex-
ercise the right of citizenship ought
to be prepared to do so at all times.
The affairs of the community, the
state and the nation demand the con-
sideration of. all, and the man who
refuses to do his part, or to bear his
share of the public obligation is a
cheat unworthy of the rights of citi-
zen.
The Negroes of Tennessee are face
to face with the greatest crisis that
has ever prevailed in this state and they
will be called upon to act their part
as men. In the great issues that will
come up for the people to settle at
the polls, the Negro voters will have
to set themselves on one side or the
other, and cast their votes for what
they believe to be right But there
is only one legitimate way any man
can exercise the franchise right, and
that is by paying poll tax and reg
istering as is required by law. Every
man ought to pay poll tax for him
self, and then he ought to exercise
the privilege the receipt for the same
carries with it, The true and courag
eous citizen votes every time the
rolls are opened. He takes the same
interest in the election that affects
mis- district as he does in those thai
affect the state or the nation.
The man who is the greatest bur
den to a community is he who canno
see any need of voting in local cleo
lions. Too many Negroes have thei
hearts set on the election Of presi
dents and take no interest whateye
in home affairs. Such men are stand
ing in their own light, and should b
taught by those who are better in
formed, the folly in thinking SO. W
ore living in a great state. Our re
sources are unlimited; and it bt
hooves every man to become inter
ested in the welfare Of himself an
his neighbors. There is no bette
way to prove that you are intereste
in your home than by paying po
tax and fully exercising the privileg
it guarantees.

SOUTHERN HEADQUARTERS AT
MOBILE


When the news of Rev. E. w. d
Isaac's cali and reported acceptance
of the church at Mobile, Ala, reached
this city, it created quite a stir ard
much speculation was INDUCED in by
the members of the Baptist family, as
this city is Hooked upon by. the other
denominations, and has been so re-
garded by them, as the headquarters
of the National Baptist Soncention
Some seemed to think that it meant
the moving of the B. Y. P. u Board
and the Union with Offices at 400 Gay
street.
A Gloe representative called up
the Office but was informed that DR..
Isaac was out of the city, but would
be back in the course of a day or So.
The clerk in the Office said she did
not think he had accepted, but that
he would superintend the church
work until the meeting of the National
Baptist Convention. 1t further de-
veloped, however, that the Rev. DR..
Isaac has made all arrangements Q
spend practically the most of his time
out of Nashville, as it is said he will
open and maintain southern head
quarters in the city or Mobile.
Inquiry among the Baptist preach
ers of the city brought out nothing ex-
cept that it was not believed that any
of the National Conventions Boards
would be moved from Nashville as
their convention voted long since to
maintain them here.

man may be alright, but he will
have to learn how to do what he ha.l
has chosen to do, and the great dan
ger lies in that probationary period.
1t happens in most cases that while
the new manager is learning what to
do and how best to perform his du
ties that the concern goes to the wall,
and what others have worked years
to construct is destroyed in few
months.
Any great enterprise can be ruined
in a short while by mismanagement,
and if once concern with large hold
ings starts on the descent, it is hard
to check it before it is entirely de-
stroyed. The American Negro needs
to be educated along the line of self
confidence. The individual who has
confidence in self will succeed, and
the successful man never mistrusts
another who is succeeding.
The few large enterprises owned
and controlled by Negroes in this
country are dear to the race. They
serve as light houses Of hope to the
young and balms of consolation to the
old. There is not one to spare, but
great need of many more. Those
that are succeeding should receive
hearty support regardless Of the walls
Of the smart fellows who have failed
IL every thing they have undertaken
The thoughtful men and women OF
the race should make it their bust
ness to endeavor to show the masses
the difference between failure and
success, and when these calamity
howlers start out to SOW the seed OF
discomfort, the danger signal should
be given all along the line; for the
greatest danger that confronts the
American Negro to-day is the attempt
On the part of some of those who pose
as leaders among the people, but who
are failures themselves, to decry
those men who are succeeding. If
1.-THE foothold the race has now Is lost
| il will require much longer period
to regain it than it has taken to &C
complish what has been done. AND
with the radical changes that are TAX
| ing place in this country there is q
great probability that If the enter
prises now conducted by the Negro
should receive reverses the whole race
would be in danger Of being reduced
Ito serfdom for all time to come.

AVIATOR SWOOPS TO
DEATH ON ROCKS.

San Sebastian, Spain, April Am
other French aviator has met death
while making flight in an aeroplane.
Hubert Leblon, who, prior to his TAX
ing up aeroplaning was a noted auto-
mobilist, was killed while making an
exhibition flight here yesterday.
He was circling the royal palace of
Miramar at height of lao feet when
his motor broke. He attempted to
glide back to the shed, but the ma
chine turned and swooped with terrific
force against the rocks. The aviator
was crushed.
Nine. Leblon witnessed the accident
and when the body was recovered from
the sea, she rushed shrieking towards
the ambulance to which it was being
carried. She threw herself upon the
lifeless form, kissing it repeatedly and
refusing to be led away. AS the wealth
er was stormy, Leblon's flight was un-
expected and only a few people as
sembled to see the start. After the
start, however, an enormous crowd
quickly gathered and followed the body
to the police hospital. There was an
examination, but the doctors were only
able to confirm that death must have
been instantaneous.

JAPANESE SPIES MAY
NOT BE PUNISHED.

Washington, April 2.-The War de-
partment has turned over to the local
Philippine government the prosecution
Of the two Japanese alleged to have
been engaged in securing plans for the
Notifications of Corregidor, Manila
harbor, through the bribery of Joseph
G. SAKE, an American soldier.
This has been done in the hope that
the local attorneys in Manila may be
able to find some section that will
serve to bring about punishment of the
offenders, whom the United States
code does not touch.
1t is quite evident, however, that
the charge of bribery will not hold, as
the Supreme court has ruled that the
bribe must be offered to an official.
Of course, Private SAKE can and prob
ably will be tried by military court
martial, but it does not seem probable
that there will be any way of punish
ing the Japanese if found guilty.

ITALIANS CHEER ROOSEVELT.
Seen in Theater at NapIes-Receives
Grand Ovation.

Naples, April A. Ex-President
Roosevelt was given tremendous re-
ception at the Theater San Carlos,
where he attended performance to-
night. The Americans in the boxes
started the cheering, which was taken
up by great body of students seated
in the third gallery. Colonel Roose-
welt rose and bowed his acknowledge
ments, which only served to increase
the tumultous applause.
During an intermission students to
the number of 200 marched to the rear
of Colonel Roosevelt's box, where they
were presented to the ex-president by
Professor Boggiano, of the University
of Naples, who, in a graceful speech,
recalled the colonel's parting injunc-
tion to President Taft, that the great
est problem for the United States was
the maintenance Of. the moral we'll
being and strength of the people.
Professor Boggiano said that this was
also the greatest problem for all coun-
tries.
Colonel Roosevelt, replying, appeal
ed to the students to aspire to the high
est ideals, but warned them that their
aspirations must be coupled with prac-
tical methods.
"Life is a struggle" he said. "You
must not keep in the clouds. Your
ideals must be such as can be real
ized."

OREGON HEN HAS RECORD.
Plymouth Rock at Albany Lays 256
Eggs in Twelve Months.

Albany While most breeders of
fancy poultry make speciality of show
birds, the efforts of Messrs. Hart and
Dannals of this city along egg produc-
ing lines is worthy of note. These
men have been breeding barred Ply
mouth rocks for seven years with the
object of seeing how great an egg lay
ing strain they could develop by apply
ing the same rules of breeding to poul-
try that are used by breeders of fine
livestock. How we'll they have sue
ceeded may be judged by the fine ap-
pearance of their birds.
1t is also worthy of note that these
results were obtained by ordinary care
of the birds without the use of egg
forcing foods; the hens being simply
bred to trot. The records were OBJ
tained by using trap nests. Although
egg production is the main object,
these enterprising breeders have not
lost sight of correct markings of the
feathers and the size of birds. It is
doubtful if anyone in the Northwest
can show more uniformly handsome
flock.

MILLIONS TO FIGHT SHARKS.
Plan Is to Charge Only Legal Rates
on Furniture Security.

on FURNITURE security.
New York, April 4.-Mrs. Russell
Sage has inaugurated a statewide plan
to thwart the loan sharks who fatten
upon the necessities of the poor. She
has returned from her trip across the
continent to put into immediate effect
measures to save the unfortunate from
the exactions of the usurer.
The Sage millions will capitalize a
chain of model loan establishments
which will advance money to the poor
on their household goods at the legal
rate of interest.
The plan has been prepared by the
Sage Foundation, in cooperation with
Orion H. Cheney, state superintendent
of banks, and awaits only Mrs. Sage's
final approval.
Mr.. Cheney, who has been waging a
bitter war upon the loan sharks, said
today:
"When the Sage Foundation enters
this field not only will it accomplish
most worthy mission. but at the same
time it can be made financially profit
able. The concerns which take unfair
advantage of the unfortunates who are
embarrassed will be either
driven cat of the business or forced to
conduct their business on the same fair
basis as the Sage Foundation.
Mr.. Cheney said he believed the poor
who have to resort to the securing of
loans on their furniture should be cared
for in preference to the class that Sc
cures advances on salary.

BIG FARM SOLD IN MORROW.
North Dakota Bankers Pay $I5o,oo
for 10000 Acres Near lone.

Ione-The county court Of Morrow
county has confirmed the sale of the
principal lands Of the j. A. Woolery
estate. This estate consists of 10, 900
acres of land and the price paid is
about $3.50, 900. The successful bid
der was syndicate of North Dakota
bankers headed by Clinton D. Lord.
They will at once colonize these lands
with Eastern wheat raisers. About
5000 acres of this land is now sown to
wheat which, with the present pros
poets for crop, should yield the pur-
chasers $4,000 to 100000 bushels of
wheat this year.
The most remarkable fact concern
ing this sale is that there was not one
cent of commission paid to anyone on
this big deal. Mrs. Woolery KNAPP
penberg, who is an attorney, having
practiced law in Buffalo, N. Y, hand
led the sale with practically no cost to
the estate. This is the first of the ex-
tensive wheat farms to be sold in
this county, and as there are several
others it is thought that they will fol-
low the lead taken by the Woolery
estate.

POWER SITES ARE WITHDRAWN
Washington and Idaho Lands With
held by BaIIinger.

Washington, April 2.-In aid of pro-
posed legislation affecting the disposal
of waterpower sites on the public do
main, Secretary Ballinger today tenn
porarily withdrew from all forms of
disposition 1898 acres along the Lem
hi River, Idaho, and 4,175 acres along
the Columbia river in Washington.
Approximately 42,750 acres Of land
in Montana was designated for settle
ment under the enlarged homestead
act. This land, it was said, was not
susceptible of successful irrigation at
reasonable cost from any known
source of water supply. This makes a
total of 28, $685. 24O acres in Montana
designed for settlement under the act.
The coal lands withdrawn from the
public domain, it was announced, in
clude large areas within unopened In
dian and military reservations. AS
such Withdrawals are without effect,
Mr.. Ballinger has cancelled them to
clear the record. These lands were
already withheld from entry because
they were within Indian or military
reserves, and their inclusion within
coal land Withdrawals was a duplicate
of their reservation. The total area
involved in the correction of the rec
ords was 811, 354 acres, located in res
ervations in New Mexico, Colorado,
Utah, North Dakota, Washington and
Montana.

STORM DOES 100000 DAMAGE.
Utah Trains Must Again Use Portland
Route to the East.

Salt Lake, Utah, April 5.-Two hun
dred thousand dollars will not cover the
loss caused by the terrific wind storm
that swept Salt Lake City and North
Central Utah last night. Farm prop
erty suffered big losses, fences and
trees being blown down, and in some
instances houses overturned.
Railroad property suffered heavily,
and in one case Is men narrowly es-
capped with their lives.
Both the Western Pacific and the
Southern Pacific are out of commission
again.
The damage to the Southern Pacific
will be repaired by Wednesday, but
the outlook for the Western Pacific is
dark. The expensive pipeline of the
Utah Copper company, which cost $4O,-
900, was extensively washed away.
The. storm loss at Saltair Beach, 20
miles west of here, will amount to
$4,000. The pavilion and other val
liable resort concessions were wrecked
and railway tracks entering the resort
were washed away.
