Siberia is rich in minerals, but the
mining is done at loss, owing to the
primitive methods of mining mainly in
use. From 1894 to 1909 $16,4SO,OOO
worth of gold was taken out around
Nicolaevsk. Yakutsk province has
great mineral wealth, but mining there
is i'm its infancy. There are rich de-
posts of coal, salt, gold. silver, zinc
and platinum, the latter being used by
the natives for bullets. From 1890 to
1908 Amur province produced $74,11O,-
$50 worth of gold. In 1908, 100 mines
we're registered. of which 256 were be-
ing worked. The Siberian Commercial
bank purchases gold direct from the
mines.

HELPING OURSELVES BY HELP
ING OT4fIIRS.

The suggestion Of one Of the
speakers at the Methodist church
meeting Monday night that those, as
sembled lend their efforts to the
founding Of a new business, such as
a clothing and shoe store, is not
likely to be adopted on account Of
the lack Of funds, and it is we'll
well for more than one reason.
Even if the funds were AT hand
for such an enterprise, The Advo-
cate would condemn it because it is
not practicable. There was net :,
single man present that night who
knows anything about ::lc clothing
and shoe business except as a con
an establishment, none of them
could reasonably hope for any thing
out failure, which would come to
some Of them sooner than TO others
1t would be the height OF folly to
make such a venture, granting that
an experienced management could
be secured, unless some of those
financially interested were sufficient
~ acquainted with the business to
know when it was being properly
conducted.
But if none Of these conditions
obtained, if the money and exper-
fence were both ready to hand, still
would we object most StrenuOusly
to any new business enterprise at
this time. The need is not for new
enterprises, but Tor the support or
these already established. The or

influencing the public to patronfze
more literally the drug store, the

already established here. An in
crease in the business OF any OF
these enterprises or professions, or
sufficiently large scope, would
create demand for assistance, and
his assistance must naturally come
from the rank Of the boys and girls

Planning To Fight
DiSiranchiSement
IN ALL ITS ASPECTS ARE THE
COLORED CITIZENS OF MARY
hAND WHO WILL HAVE THE
ASSISTANCE OF THE REPUB-
ILCAN PARTY.

Baltimore, Md, August S.-The
Republicans Of Maryland arc plan
ming to wage vigorous campaign
the coming fall against disfranchise-
ment III all OF it's aspects. They will
probably have a plank in their plat
form calling Cor the repeal of the
!niQuitous Wilson ballot laws. These
laws are in force in all of the Coun-
ties i'll the southern part Of Mary
land and in number Of counties on
the eastern shore, and are expressly
tS9e Pr Dtee 0f t3tf
norant colored voters With {. show
CT being fair, the Wilson ballot law
also applies to Garrett county, which
is located in The extreme western
section OF the State. This county
has but few Democratic voters, but
contains a number OF white litter
ates OF Republican persuasion, and
the Democratic managers thought
they would make it hard for this
county whose cOlored voters do noT
number 100.
Dlsfranchisement has received
some very heavy blows in the past
eight months beginning with the de-
clslon OF the United States Court de-
claring the grandfather" clause in
the municipal election law for An
napOlis invalid; an adverse decision
against some election officials who
sued the Baltimore American for
libel because the paper told Of the
alleged trick ballots in some Of the
counties and the recent refusal OF
the United States Court to quash in
d1ctmentS Of the election officials or
Charles county and the printer who
printed the trick ballots used in the
last congressional election.
The Digges DISTINGUISHING bills,
which are to be voted upon this fall,
are generally regarded as unconsti-
tuticnal in that they specifically
work against c0lored voters and it
remains to be seen whether or not
the Democratic party viii make a
vigorous campaign Cor a measure
generally regarded as unconstitu-
tiOnal.
