Professor Charles w. Eliot remarked
in u lecture at Rutgers College last
night that inability to educate the
masses to a high comprehension of pub
lie affairs is the reason democracy III
the United State has been less pro-
gressivc than the constitutional gov
ernments of Europe. There is still an
other reason and that is eommerciallsm.
The responsibility for bad government
Ices not rest alone with the unedu-
Gated. Men selfshly absorbed in their
business affairs and taking no interest
in affairs of government, men inter-
ested selfishly in enterprises that reach
out and corrupt legislatures and public
officials, these are among the reasons
why democracy is not as progressive as
in countries where authority is more
concentrated and the public service bet
ter trained for its work.

After paying "A glowing tribute to
Senator Aldrich in Aldrich's town of
Providence last night, President Taft
declared the Payne-Aldrich tariff act
to be the best law of its kind ever
placed ON the statute books. The Presi-
lent also anticipated the results of the
Senate inquiry into food prices by say
ing the tariff was not responsible for
high prices. The close atmosphere of
Washington still clings to Mr.. Taft.

Hers was a beautiful life; beauti-
full in it's self forgetfulness; beautiful
in that she had written her obituary
OH the fleshy tablets of the human
hearts in the living letters Of loving
deeds; beautiful In that she erected
her own monument, which she chisel-

the granite Of daily toll and obliga-
ton.
She has lived her life we'll.
Though dead she still lives in the
lives Of those whose, privilege it was
to be touched by her kind, gentle and
loving spirit. Numerous relatives
and friends came to take last look
at her mortal remains and TO min&le
their tears with the ones to whom she
was dearest

REFUSAL OF
MANAGEMENT. J: ! !
OF HOTEL OF HAVANA TO AC-
. COMMODATE : NEGROES NO
LONGER "A MENACE. ..r
Personal Efforts of President Gomez
successfully Smoothed Over the
Difficulty for the Present.

Havana, Jan. 30.-Fears of race
conflict, growing out of the recent t
disorder resulting from the refusal
Of the management of principal
American Hotel in, Havana to enter
tain Negroes, have in a great measure
abated, and the possibilities Of fur
ther trouble practically disappeared.
For few days the situation was
threatening and there was O strong
-atfdereHrfent- indignation among
the-Negroes.
That the difficulty for the present
at least was successfully sinoothed
over is mainly due to the personal
efforts of President Gomez
In spite Of this however, the affair
has served to- revive agitation in
favor of organizing a great Negro po-
lltleal party with the purpose of con-
trolling the government. 20:
To what extent the promoters Of
the movement may be successful re-
mains to be seen, but there can be
no. manner, Eas!nnne Of doubt that If the orr
ganizatioE Of the colored Face as a
politicald3arty should ever be affected
