COLOR LINE WHITE HOUSE.
Afro ro-Americans Given Object Lesson
In Republican Hypocrisy.


No colored citizen should have any
doubt as to the attitude of the present
administration relative to the vital
questions which concern the future
welfare of all the people. The color
line is as much In evidence in the
White House of the nation as, Il is in
any capital city in the southland. The
census bureau has just announced
through the Associated Press that col
ored census enumerators will not be
permitted to act in cases of white peo-
pie, but it fails to add that white cen
sus enumerators will not be permitted
to act in cases Of colored people.
1t seems to US If it intended to carry
out the principle laid down to its log
ical conclusion and to maintain that
basis of equality In treatment which
the law guarantees it would have sup
plemented its instructions along the
lines indicated. But we have Re-
publican president, Republican con-
gress, and the colored people of the
United States are being treated to an
object lesson which will convince the
most skeptical that Republican
amounts to about as much as Demo
crat and Democrat to about as much
as a Republican when we consider
these latter day dissertations upon the
race question
The time has come when we can af
ford to support Democrat with jus
tice loving proclivities with far
greater certainty Of securing that rec
ognition to which we are entitled than
We can some of these ''tenderfoot"
Republicans who fear redicule from
southern Negro haters and ghostly
shadows from growing prejudiced
element in the districts Of the north
and Richmond Va) Planet.

WAGE SCALE EouALIzED.

Pay For Census Enumerators.


The various wage Gales in different
parts Of the countr and the differ

visions Of the Unitet States have in
fuenced and guided | nited States Cen
sus Director Durand the adoption of
4 classification Of e. umerators' rates
Of compensation with n the limits pre-
scribed by the Unit d States census
law enacted by cong ess.
The different classe of rates will be
so applied that in gel eral the average
enumerator will earn substantially the
same actual amount one district as
In another. even thou b the population
may be much sparse In one than In
the other. with othe conditions also
different Regard is paid to the fact
that prevailing wages and salaries are
higher in some part Of the country
than In others: but aside from this,
the directors aim is t. adjust the rates
SO as to make the ear iings Of enumer-
ators substantially inform. Where
the per capita rates would not give
sufficient pay the pei diem rates are
prescribed. The rate In general will
be so adjusted as to give a slightly
higher average amour to the enumer.
ators than they receiv d in 1850.
There are three G, neral rates-the
per capita. the mix, d and the per
diem. The first and second general
rates have FIVE subdiv sions each.

rates are in each case cents or more
higher than those pal In 1900, when
the range was from Is to 20 cents.

vegetable Compound has done for me during this trying period. Complete restoration to health means so much to me that for the sake of other suffer- ing women I am willing to make my trouble public so you may publish this letter" "-MRs. CHAs. BARCLAY, RED, ,Graniteviile, Vt.
 No other medicine for woman's ills has received such widespread and un- qualified endorsement. No other med icine we know of has such a record of cures of female ills as has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
 For more than 30 years it has been curing female complaints such as inflammation, alteration, local weak nesses, fibroid tumors, Irregularities, periodic pains, backache, indigestion and nervous prostration, and it is unequalled for carrying women safely through the period of change of life. It costs but little to try Lydia B. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and, as Mrs. Barclay says,it is worth noun. tains of gold !" to suffering women.

NEWS NOTES FROM THE STATE CAPITAL State Fair Must Be Made Social Event, Says Dr.
 Hartzog.
FERRER IS APPLAUDED
Socialists Hold Meeting and Praise Dead Spaniard-Fruit Belt
 Line For Capital.

Little Rock, Ark, Oct. 13.-"Having secured a start, the Arkansas State Fair will now have to build up it's social side to become a permanent in- stitution,' says Dr. H. $. Hartzog, president of Ouachita College, "and I think the directors of the Fair will see to this in the future. Take the South Carolina fair, which is now over 100 years old it is the social event of the year. Arkansas is the most cosmopolitan state in the Unit ed States or the world. The census of this state shows we have more na- tives of every known county living in Arkansas, and there are a score or more residing within it's borders who were born at sea and hence have no country. Sixty per cent of the Ark ansas population is native. The bal ance comes from all over the United States. We have 1S00O Mississippi ans, and On down the line. It is but human nature for all these Mis- sissippians to feel an interest in the other Mississippions in the state. The people from New York are interested in those from New York. A Missis- mean big day for the Mississippi ans, the same for the people from Ohio, Illinois and the other states. Then there should be Home Con- ing, which would almost depopulate Oklahoma if the people would all come back at once. In South Caro- lima the social side of the fair has been promoted until the people are no longer eager over exhibits, and people come from all over the state in shousands to meet and mingle with the people from other sections. We need some great leveling med ium to bring all classes together on equal footing for a week, and l be- lieve the State Fair is this medium. being the most cosmopoli-
 
 most progressive. That is what is making it great. We want to be the melting pot of the world and l believe in the state fair to do the greater part of this work

 The commission government will consist of a mayor and two aldermen, elected by the people. The salaries are to be $900 year for the alder men and 1900 for the mayor. They will appoint city officials, police and firemen regardless of politics. They are subject to recall by the people. They must submit all ordinances to a vote if asked to do so by the cit izens. Each commissioner is to have charge of certain part of the city work, and they must devote practi- cally their entire time to it. The Iowa system is uniform for cities of the same population.
 Alabama cities, such as Birming ham and Gadsden, are turning to- ward the plan.

 Ieavenworth was the first Kansas city to take up with commission gov ernment. Then followed Wichita, Kansas City (Kansas), Independence, Hutchinson, Anthony and Coffeyville.

THE HOPE OF THE CITIES.

Boston will forthwith test out its
 new charter, and see just how work
 able it is in present day munici.
 pality with large foreign and mix ed population. Already fifteen would be mayors have taken out their nom- ination papers. Five thousand names are required for a nomination. John F. Fitzgerald will run yet again, and the reform forces will probably unite On James J. Storrow, who was the leader in the Chelsea. relief work. Boston's new charter is an adapta- tion of the ment-by-commis- sion idea.
 s. s. Mcclure, in his November ''McClure,s Magazine" advocates it in New York City, because of the sQuandering of funds and the sale of crime under the present charter.
 The commission form of govern ment seems to work because appar- ently 1t is a better executive unit. Responsibility lis fixed; the repre-. sentatives of the people are cOntroll. ed. City administration is conducted by commissioners, usually five in number, who control every depart ment and the department executives. The removal of party politics, the abolition of the ward system, the zation of responsibility are the ad- vantages hoped for from it's perfect operation. All power, legislative, ex- ecutive and judicial, is concentrated in one group of men.
 1t is said that New Orleans was operated Joy a commission of seven men for some years during the Re- period after the war.
 Galveston started the present in 1902 in order to clear up the wreckage of the flood and to safeguard the future. The scheme has worked. The five commissioners, elected by the people, appoint the officers. The president of the commission is separately elected. and is called the mayor. The com divide the municipal de- partments-police, street-cleaning, fire, gas, water and electricity docks buildings, etc. This body then set ties on the budget, with each com- missioner having a voice in his de- partment.
 Houston, Fort Worth, Dallas, Den ison. El Paso and Greenville, in Tex as. followed the good example of Gal weston.
 The most advanced form of com government is what is known as the Des Moines plan, because To- wa, in 1907, passed law permitting it's cities to organize under the com plan, and Des Moines was the first to so organize. Election bribery and other violations of the election law are penalized. A mea- sure is passed only on majority vote. A sliding scale of salaries prevails for mayor and councilmen in proportion to the size, of the city. The people vote on franchises to public service corporations, and the way is held open for municipal own- srship. The Recall the Initiative and the Referendum, uniform city accounts and civil service are pro-
 vided for.
