A SLAP IN THE FACE.

The Republican party in Tennessee
OF at least a portion of the leader
in that party, have for a good many
years harbored in their breasts a de-
sire to see the day come when they
could boast of having a white mans
psrty. 1t is not the intention to in
fer that they have desired for the day
to come when they could say that
only white men voted for this or that
candidate, but what they mean by a
white mans party is that the black
men shall go to the polls and vote as
his white Republican brothers say
vote in order that certain of them
may be served out of the Federal pie
pan, but the black brothers to have
no say in the selection of candidates,
nor in the policy of the party.
The rank and file of the Negroes
in Tennessee decided two years ago
that they were tired of being used as
a cats paw for the benefit of the other
fellows, and so then broke away from
the Grand Old Party" But there
were a goodly number who felt that
they could not desert the flag that
they had fought under for so many
years, and they could not be persuad,
ed to do so. Prominent among
that number was the Hon. ]. G. Nap
Ter, for whom all are compelled 10
have the highest admiration. Mr..
Napier has stood by his party in every
crisis. He saved the day to the In
dependents in the recent election sim
ply because his party leaders asked
him to, and after such a valiant
service, his colleagues suffered that
he be defeated for a place on the state
executive committee, a position he
had filled with honor for many years.
No other motive can be assigned
for such a move save to thwart what.
ever chance Mr.. Napier may appear
to have of being honored by the pres.
ent Federal administration.
The Negroes of Tennessee will look
upon the defeat of their only repre-
sentative for a place on the executive
committee as a slap in the face. While
it is true that the Negroes have tab
boed the Republican party to a great
extent, they cannot fail to strongly
resent this last insult to the member
of the race who has stood out against
great odds and has striven to hold
the Negroes in the Republican ranks.
He contended for what he believed
TO be right, but lily-whiteism is blind
to justice-to the winds with Napier,
Dixon and all the rest if they look like
they might get close to the pie, is the
inscription stamped indelibly upon
their consciences.

We call attention to the scholastic
census that appears in another colmn.
1t will be noticed that there are e
ly three thousand more Negro chill
dren of school age this year than last.
No parents should be allowed to
sleep until every child is in school,
and if there is not sufficient accom-
modations for all see that the Board
of Education stay awake until more

Howse has taken a step that will re-

are a nuisance at their best, and when

carry on in other ways indecently
they become unbcarable. We hope TO

THE OBJECT OF THE GEORGE
w. HUBBARD HOSPITAL
CLUB.
CLUB.

To assist in furnishing the new
Geo. w. Hubbard Hospital.
To come in touch directly with the
lives of poor and unfortunate pa
tients.
To help educate the masses to the
hospital idea, and dispel the preva-
lent belief in the black bottle. Story
of B. B.
To teach that hospitals are for peo-
pie who are sick and who need med
ical or surgical care under asceptic
conditions.
That after the skillful hand of the
surgeon comes the soothing touch of
our W young women. The trained
nurse.
Following closely in line, in their
work and purpose and interested in
all Internal affairs of the hospital
stands the Geo. w. Hubbard Hos
pital Club. This club will try to
touch the home life, directly and i'm
directly, of many unfortunate ones, no
doubt will be inmates of this hospf
tai. Under the auspices of the Club
with headquarters at Meharry, moth
ers' meetings will be held, where top
les of much interest will be discussed;
how to rear healthy children; the pre-
cautions to be used during the sum-
mer; the car that should be COM
menced even before birth. There is
a great waste of life going on the
world over in large cities. Stats
ties show that three-fifths of the chill
dren die before they are five years
old. Why this waste of human life?
(Over-fed, under-fed the cause.) By
these club meetings with mothers we
hope to decrease the death rate.
Through the splendid maternity ward
at the hospital, where the Club will
have a special interest we hope to
increase the birth rate.
Clothes will be solicited for those
leaving the hospital in need of clothes.
Homes will be found for those need
ing homes on dismissal from the hos
pital. We hope to find mothers for
those needing a mother and a home.
To accomplish the best results it
is necessary to go hand in hand with
the physicians and ministers. Who
then can do this work better than the
wives, mothers and sisters of minis
tiers and physicians. Situated in
every part of the city, connected with
every church in the city Gas we are),
who can doubt that we a reach the
entire mass of sick, decrepit and
needy individuals?
With the city teachers interested
in this move, we shall find every
child suffering from ophthalmia, adj
onitis, tuberculosis and many on
tractable diseases with which young
children are often afflicted, and see
that they have proper surgical and
medical treatment.
Not only will the Club be content
when every part of Nashville shall
feel the inuence and good that must
result from this move, but when clubs
similar will be established through
out the country. Then shall hospi-
tails lose much of their horror and
gloom to the minds of our people,
but instead they shall be a haven of
peace and rest.

''Put Them in Jail"

The government has decided to
prosecute the individuals who consti-
tute the meat trust on the ground that
they have unlawfully conspired to raise
prices. It is said the order from Wash
: ington to District attorney Sims is,
put them in jail; never mind the
fines"
This Is the most gratifying word
that has come from Washington since
trusts have been organized. The trusts
control everything including the
cradle, the coffin, the grave and the
tombstone. They have never ceased
/. to break and defy the laws.
C. There has been much noise and fus-
stan in Washington about prosecuting
them, but the result is usually a fine
If the trusts can be assured that their
will be met with nothing
more than a fine the Iaw-breaking will
continue Imprisonment is the only
way to curb them.
"Put them in JAIL is the right slo-
gan. That is the place for them.
1t is time the Imposition of a fine
ceases. 1t is high time high toned
law-breakers were put behind prison
bars

PARDON NOW BEING
SOUGHT BY H. O. WEST
Man Who Passed Forged Check on
Iowa National Bank Asks to BE
Released from Prison.

Henry o. West, alias H. N. Ordway,
who passed the forged check on the
Iowa National bank, Davenport, is
now asking the board of parole to
give him a pardon. West so far has
served about two months of his time,
and the maximum sentence he could
receive would be l > years. Yester-
day letters from the board of pardons
were received in Davenport Mating
that West has asked to be released,
and asking concerning the former
character of the man, his past deeds,
etc.
Aside from the intermediate sem
tence, West also received a fine of
$1,000 and costs, which he must work
out, aside from the regular sentence;
that is, he will have to unless the
board pardons him in the meantime.
West, however, was considered a
dangerous man by the officials in Dav-
export, and his past history is such
that it will not aid him in getting a
release from prison.

You will scarcely believe your senses,

think! When you left me only two
days ago told you that under no con-
dition whatever would I marry, be-
cause I knew of no man l wished to

one of the hunters for her ten millions

he has got her and the millions he will
hang on to the money and the wife
will have TO take care of herself"
But you are wrong, my dear, entire

The Sluns.

The worst enemy of business is the
slum, says Charles Edward Russell in
Success magazine. About So per
cent of the people Of this country are
classed by the sociological experts as
poor or very poor. Whatever tends
to increase this sum of poverty strikes
in two ways at the heart of business.
1t interferes with consumption and it
interferes with production. Nothing
could be worse.
In the last 20 years England and
Germany have entered upon a des-
perate duel for the commercial king
dom of the world. At the beginning
England was everything in interna-
tional commerce, and Germany was
next to nothing. Now, to speak quite
plainly, Germany, fighting with skill
and tenacity. is the assured victor in
the battle, and England is going down
to defeat. How did Germany manage
to make such a marvellous showing in
this tremendous conflict?
The secret of Germany's success.
continues Mr.. Russell. is no secret at
all to those who know the relative
of its working population
and England has allowed the SUM
to take care of itself and the slum has
turned upon 1t and eaten out the heart
of its strength. The real strength of
a nation is not its banks. palaces, rich

Senator Hill in Retirement.

For % years David B. Hill was all
powerfm in New York politics. When
Samuel J. Tilden retired from the
leadership of his party he transferred
his matchless political organization 70
Daniel Manning. 1t was not long
however, before Hill wrested il from
him. The latter could not stand the
abuse and unjust criticism IeveIed Ar
him and in 1904 he retired from poll
tics and to all appeals to return he
turns a deaf ear. In his privacy it
must please him to read a tribute like
the following from the Newburg
News, one of the ablest republican
papers in New York state:
David B. Hill is an example of
political leader who, having been Civ
party that they desired a change,
gracefully retired before they pulled
the house down on him, leaving him
rancorous and embittered of mind and
shorn of all except the shreds Of his
former political power.
Hill in his day was ambitious. He
,aspired to the presidency, and, when
the nomination was denied him. ne
Sought to make presidents. Able as
a statesman and resourceful as a poll
tcian as he was, Hill recognized his
limitations, perceived the trend of the
times and foresaw the political revo-
luton, yet in progress, which is to
mean a new deal In party affairs.
Hill quit the political arena while he
could do so with dignity and honor. He
is living happily and philosophically
and nothing would induce him to
again become a center Of political tur-
moil
"Hill has meyer forgotten that he
was governor, United States senator
and state leader of his party When
the hour of destiny struck it found
the man willing. It was noe neces-
sary for events to force him down the
ladder. He merely stepped aside and
this he did with honor to himself and
credit to the positions he had filed.

And oft 'twould save our face.
But many OF the things we do
Would fail and come TO naught
II we would never push ahead
Except on second thought.

Where angels fear to tread ~
And pulling through by accident -,
That makes US get ahead.
II we should cit and cogftate
And figure on the cost
Before We made a single move
Our chances might be lost. N

And. while IL isn't true
That only persons win the prize
Whose brains are shy q few.

Who didn't have a single plan.
But rushed ahead by guess
The man who hesitates Is lost
Declared some geezer wise.
