Draperies and little touches will
be put into room in an uptown
office building, where the court

bench will be installed, but for
the present the old fittings that
constituted a bench for the old
Spanish war claims commission,

To Buy Texas.

The pastor of the Afro-Amer-

has brought forth a brand new
segregation scheme for the col

roes segregated in one state of
the union, and to accomplish this
he wants one state to be selected
by the government and pur-
chased outright, and then the
pegroes moved en- masse into
this new negro commonwealth.
| This is a little more fantastic
than the theory of Bishop Tur-
ner, who for twenty years has
been advocating the deportation
of the negros to Liberia, where,
unhampered by unsympathetic
conditions which their misguid-
ed advocates fancy are about
them in America, they could de-
velop a race and national life in
dependent of all other peoples.
The proposition of the negro
minister of Baltimore is inter
esting chiefly because he has
named Texas as the state best
suited to the scheme he has in
mind, and it is Texas which he
would have Uncle Sam buy, lock.
stock and barrel, as a state home
for negro citizens.
Now, if there is any known
process by which a state could
be bought outright without the
will of the citizens or any pro-
cess by which a state could be
reduced from statehood to the
status of territory, we are not
familiar with that process. In
cidentally and quite apart from
the fact that the colored brother
in Baltimore has picked the lar
gest, the richest and the least
developed state in all the South
for his brilliant scheme of colon
ization, and that there are at
least three generations of born
on-the- soil citizens who'd be dis
lodged by nothing short of civil
war, we beg to call the attention
of those discussing the wild
scheme TO the fact that Texas
holds a unique position among
the states. 1t would be easier
to accomplish the scheme in any
one of the other states than in
Texas.
Texas is the only state of the
whole union which added her
princely domain to that of the
government by deliberate and
voluntary action. Texas is the
only addition to the United
States which is part thereof save
by conquest or purchase-TeXas
never cost the United States a
dollar from its treasury or man
from its army. A distinct gov
ernment, an independent repub-
lie, Texas came into the larger
union by her own request. The
United States government does
not and never has owned a foot
of public domain in Texas. These
facts are cited not for the use or
enlightenment of the new Moses
of the negroes, but for the guild
ance of the misdirected energies
of those white friends who may
be interested in even the most
superficial degree in the impos-
Slble plan.
The negro minister of Balti-
more, and many another like him
do more harm than good by the
foolish things they advocate for
the development of the negro.
AS the world knows, the negroes
have failed to show any capacity
for self government, as Liberia
and Hayti bear pitiable evidence.
The negro for many years to
come must find his best develop
ment and his best interests just
where he is, and in just the con-
ditions which surround him

IN FAVOR OF FAT.
The Stout May Read This and Pluck Up
COURAGE

| Eat is often unapprecated or misun-
! derstood and unduly blamed for sins Of
! delinquencies Of other body foods. From
Is to 20 per cent. of each healthy body
is composed of fat and its chief sources
are the starcheS and sugars, though GER
tain fats directly utilized
The weight OF present opinion is in
favor of the view that fats are complete
| ly decOmpOSed IN the intestine and that
the fatty acids formed are absorbed,
either as SOAPS or in d solution brought
about by the bile.
AS source of energy for the develop
ment of heat. fat may be described as
quickly available, but not SO lasting AIS
some other substances. By its concen-
! trated fuel power it saves other tissues,
especially the albuminous ones from
overoXidariOn and is valuable as a re-
serve force.
Moreover by it's presence the protein is
better enabled to do it's work in tissue
building and as storage Of energy for
emergencies it is Of great Importance.
The last material use OF fat is to serve as
protection of the body from injury and
cold. 1t forms an outer cushion for the
| frame.
| From an aesthetic standpoint the phys
Illogical and orderly distribution Of fat
in the connective tissue makes all the
difference between beauty and ugliness.
In considering the psychic role of fat
we should especially bear in mind. G..
M. Miles says, its reserve function in
relation to active processes. A liberal
deposition of fat is one Of natures wise
precautions to enable us to bear some
of the trials Of life 1t has been known
from earliest antiquity that fat people
are more contented and optimistic than
lean ones and the supply of fat may be
compared to the ample bank account Of
q busy and prOVident man.
Miles says that he believes he is cor
rect in asserting that a physiological re-
serve of fat by it's very presence exerts
a quieting and reasurlng influence on the
vital forces most concerned in construc-
tive metabolism. while its lack leads to
! a physical discomfort and unrest, which
sooner or later reacts on the disposition,
developing into that pessimism and tenn
peramental discomfort SO often seen in
lean people.

Tie editor of the Gionale iii Vicenza,

Writer'S impression Of the ex-President
Roosevelt Sig. Fogazzaro is the aged
novelist whose most recent book. The
Saint, was placed on the index by the
Catholic church, in spite of the fact that
the author has always been and still is
devout Catholic. Several of his books
translated into English have been wide
~ read in America. Sig. Fogazzaro said,
according TO the article in Gionalc di
Nicenzo: You will understand that
Roosevelt said too many intimate things
regarding the Vatican for me to public
~ repeat them. There is, however, no
feeling of animosity In Roosevelt's mind
toward the Pope. He would have been
extremely glad to have seen the holy
father, but to keep his own dignity he
was Obliged to renOunce the pleasure.
DE IS, however, extremely fond of the
Catholics. He thinks that every citi-
zen should have religion of some kind.
He would therefore never encourage
Catholics to renounce their faith, since
Catholics who apostatise become sceptics
and possess no religion at ALL Roosevelt
told me that he feels religious when he
is treating of finance, and this is prob
ably the reason why he moved against
the trusts"

cause of the attack by the German press
on American musical artists. A large
number of American artists have been
heard here lately, especially in musical
circles, and they have well earned the
praises of their audiences. But for some
reason, unexplained, the critics at first
ignored them because they were superior
to their German rivals. But the success
of the Americans has become so pro-
nounced that of late the German press
has been practically compelled 60 "eat
its words"
