senate. The announcement was made

Republicans of Missouri" 1t follows:
Il announce that 1 shall not be Il
candidate for reelection to the senate
of the United States. My health will

pointing to my friends and more loyal

"MoP" SPENDS $4,000, 900.
Work on Repairing and Improving
ROadbed Continues.

st. Louis. Aug. 23.-The Missouri
Pacific is making a large number of
provements. More than 100000 900
will have been spent before January
l rolls around. Reports show that
900 miles of track have been heavily
ballasted, $1,000 tons of new rails laid
and 5000 tons of heavy bridge con-
struction have been placed in position.
In the new $175,000,00o mortgage,
which provides for refunding existing
obligations, $S2,000.00O has been re-
served for extensions. improvements
and equipment on the Mop and the
Iron Mountain lines. This will be dis
tributed at the rate of $10.O00,O0O a
year.
The road during the present year
has laid 100 miles of second main
track in Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas
and Kansas. A new yard and ter
minal, containing miles of tracks. at
Hoisington, Kansas, will be completed
this year. A new yard and engine

ANOTHER HARRIMAN CUTOFF.
Salt Lake-Portland Line Will Be
Shortened IS Miles.

shortened IS Miles.
From the fact that engineers in the
service of the Oregon Short Line are
making soundings in Salt Lake to
Antelope Island, it is said that this is
preliminary to the Raft river cutoff,
'. hich would save rs miles over the
present route of this road between
Salt Lake City and Portland, Oregon.
1t has been the constant effort of
the Hartman lines, in accordance with
a we'll esta blished policy, to reduce dis
lance whenever practicable in order to
shorten running time, and by eliminat-
ing curves and reducing grades to
establish conditions making for greater
safety and better and speedier trans
portation. Notable instances of this
have been seen in the cutting down of
Sherman hill on the Union Pacific and
in the backbone of the Rockies, and
the building of the Lucin cutoff across
Salt Lake to escape the steep grade
over Promontory mountain.
Now comes the possible construction
of the Raft river cutoff, the continual
ton of the Bull branch through the
level valley to the Snake river, thence
through the Box canyon west of Hunt
ington down the Homestead valley to
Lewiston and over an all-water grade
down the Columbia river to Portland.

PETITIONS IN OKLAHOMA, TOO
Railroad Employees Appeal to Nation
al and State Governments.

Guthrie, Okla, Aug. 23.-More than
1000 railroad employees in Oklahoma
have signed a petition addressed to the
interstate commerce commission, ask
ing that the railroads be permitted to
make a slight increase in their inter-
state freight rates, in order that they
may not be compelled to reduce the
wages of their employees. 1t is expect
ed that 10000 railroad employees in
Oklahoma alone will sign the petition.
During two days $50 employees of the
Rock Island have signed the petition.
The railroads claim that unless inter
state rates can be increased the wages
of employees will be cut. The wage
scale of railroad employees has been
increased from IL to 8 per cent since
there has been any increase in freight
rates, and this, in connection with the
increased cost of materials, increased
taxes and other essential elements en-
tering into the cost of operating a
railroad, makes a raise of rates neces-
sary, if present wage scales are to be
maintained. according to some of the
leading railroad men.

NOTICEABLE
HAPPENINGS

Noticeable happenings In these
parts force the negroes to sit up and
take notice, and daily occurrences are
the open door for the entry of negroes
into the business life of the Flour
City. They force him to realize his
position, when the white mans door
closes against him, causes the
opening of business and promotes ra-
cial interests. The negroes of the
East, South and West are far beyond
the element representing the North
west, and it can well be said that New
England shows less enterprise by ne
groes on account Of its law pro-
tecting them by allowing them consti-
tutional rights, also customs or blue
laws formed long ago prevented segre-
cation during its earlier days which
allowed no business, a consideration
which was specially identified with
the negro race. This made it clear
for negroes to demand privileges and
be accorded the same. But while
that was good form and has accom-
plished much, they now have basis
to work upon, and are fast waking up.
They need no social equality and are
filling their own Golfers, and the
white man is granting them business
concessions. The time is fast COM
ing when the negroes of Massa chu-
setts will be second to none in enter
prise. They have syndicates, COM
panies, and are a power to be looked
upon favorably. Such things are on
foot in Minneapolis. The time has
come for concerted efforts, and v hen
the white man closes his door on the
negro, then Oppor: knocks at
the Negro's and oftentimes she is
refused. What are you going TO do?
Do it now! You spend $4,000 each
week in Minneapolis.

UNIVERSAL RACES
CONGRESS-

A congress, which promises to be
one Of the most influential of our
time, is to be held in London in July.
1911. The list of those who have ex-
tended to it their moral support is
perhaps the most imposing one Of its
kind. Among the supporters, who
hail from no less than forty coun-
tries, are over twenty presidents of
parliaments. about a hundred mem
bers Of the Permanent Court of Ar
bitration and of the Second Hague
Conference, many present and past
statesmen and ambassadors, some
hundred and thirty professors of in
ternational law, the leading anthropol-
ogists and sociologists, the president.
treasurer, general secretary and the
majority Of the council Of the Inter
Parliamentary Union, and other dis
tinguished personages.
The object Of the congress will be
to discuss the larger racial issues in
the light OF modern knowledge and
the modern conscience, with q view
to encouraging good understanding,
friendly feelings and hearty cooper
alton between Occidental and Oriental
peoples. Political issues of the hour
will be subordinated to this compre-
hensive end, in the firm belief that
when once mutual respect is estab-
lished, difficulties Of every type will
be sympathetically approached and
readily solved.
The origin of this congress is read
lily explained. The interchange Of
material and spiritual goods between
the different races of mankind has of
late years assumed such dimensions
that the old attitude Of distrust and
aloofness is giving way to general
desire for closer acquaintanceship.
Out Of this interesting situation has
sprung the idea Of holding q acongress
where the Representatives of the diff
ferent races might meet each other
face to face, and might, in friendly
rivalry, further the cause Of so-called
white people and the so-called colored
people. ...-..
Accordingly, the congress will not
represent a meeting of all the races
for the purpose of discussing indis-
criminately everybody's concerns. It
will not discuss purely European
questions, such as the relations exist
ing between or within the different
European countries; nor, Of course.
will 1t discuss the attitude of Europe
towards the persons. Fee for active
membership (including attendance.
volume of papers, and other publica-
tions) will be 21s., for passive men,
bership (excluding attendance, but in
cluding volume Of papers and other
publications), 7s. Cd.
