On the opening day of the recent
session of the National Negro Bust
ness League at Little Rock, Ark,
Governor Donaghey delivered an adj
dress brim full of truth and common
sense. In delivering the welcome ad-
dress on behalf of the state, he said:
"On behalf of the State I am
pleased to welcome the representa-
tives of remarkable race-remarka-
lie for more things than color or
plantation melodies. Such an Occa-
sion as this would have been thought
thirty years ago an impossibility.
What marked contrast! Fifty
years ago your distinguished chair
man was a slave; to-day he is the
foremost representative of free peo-
pie who are making rapid strides in
civilization. He is a cultured man,
presiding with dignity over a/commer-
cial congress composed Of sons of
former slaves. Indeed this occasion
augurs a brighter day, not only for
your race, but for our common coun-
try, for the interests of the white race
and of the black race are so blended
and interviewer that what affects one
here in our Southland, affects the
ether.
"This congress stands for progress,
for the material betterment OF your
race. What are some of the essential
things-the basic elements upon which
the permanent progress of the colored
man rests? First, let us note few
they may suggest lessons for our in
struction.
What people in all the world
have shown themselves possessed of
unfailing good humor in such a high
degree as has the colored man? My
own people, the Irish, have that quail
ty, but doubtless in a less degree. In
deed, it is a great quality and an in
valuable asset of your race. 1t has
carried you smiling through so many
hardships; it has lightened your bur-
dens; it has enabled you to laugh in
the midst of tribulations; it has
wreathed your face with smiles in
stead of furrowing it with cares. 1t
keeps the irrepressible smile about
you and preserves happy, cheerful
disposition 1t saves you from worry
and anxiety.
"While you are said to be an imi-
tative race, you never suicide or suf-
fer from nervous troubles. I believe
it was your chairman who tells us or
the young Negro in Harvard UNIVERSE
ty who specialized on nervous dis
eases with a view of practicing medi-
cine in the Mississippi bottoms. He,
of course, would never have had al
patient.
Another distinguishing character
ristic of your people is loyalty Your
record OF faithfulness to your trust
during the Civil War Is an imperish-
able monument to your race. During
those times that tried mems souls,
few colored men betrayed their trust.
Upon our return as soldiers from tnarl
war your fathers returned to us curl
property and our families protectedl
from any act of dishonor-a monu-I
ment more enduring than brass orI
marble.
Moreover, your people are blessedl
by nature with a good, active body,I
capacitated for physical endurance.
Of course, another important ele-
ment in the situation is that your
race is in its infancy, that it has been
under the influence of a high civili-
zation for only short time.
What lessons do these facts sug-I
gest? In the first place, they suggest
that you have something to be proud

New Year Falls On Next
Saturday

Jewish New Years Day falls on
Saturday, September 23. and this day
begins the Jewish year of 5,672.
In MANY respects the Jew will cele-
brate on Saturday much as the Gentle
will on January /. He will make good
resolutions, he will close mp his place
of business, he will send postal cards
to his friends, he will meet his friends
with the greeting: A good year
The attitude of the Jew toward this
holiday is much more reverent, how
ever, than that of the Gentle. "Rosh
Hashanah" as the Jew calls New
Years is the most solemn day of the
calendar next to Yom Kippur, the Day
of Atonement.
1t begins with the services IL the
synagogues at sunset Friday and lasts
until sunset Saturday. New Years is a
day of self examination and self judg
ment. The solemn ceremony of blow
ing the "shofar," or rams horn, is
celebrated to arouse the conscience
to this task
Among orthodox Jews attainment
of this object is also sought by set
ting aside a few days before New
Years for the recital in the synagogue
of penitential prayers. This continues
until The eve Of the day of atonement
The "selihot", chanted in the minor
key before dawn in the dimly lit hous
es of worship, sound the note of grief
and contrition for the sins OF the past
year.

CONSOLIDATION
Of North And East Confer
enCeS Not Probable

The proposition to unite the North
Ohio and the East Ohio conferences
of the M. e. church, and which was
approved at the North Ohio confer
ence at Mansfield last week, emanates
in the Cleveland district. Cleveland
and its environs are in two confer
ences-part being in the North and
part in the East. It is to unity the
work of the church at Cleveland that
the proposition is made. While this
would he of undoubted advantage, 1t
is very doubtful whether the general
conference, which meets next May,
will authorize the consolidation. If
the union were effected, the new con-
ference would be the largest In the
world, having over 500 ministers in 1t.
ence and could practically control the
action of the general conference on
any question. On account of the great
power that would be given the newly
created conference, to the possible dis.
advantage of the other and smaller
conferences, IL Is not altogether likely
that the general conference will vote
to authorize the consolidation. This
is the opinion of Mt. Vernon man
who attended the conference at Mans
field.

Democrats Keep Promise.
Last November Maine elected a
Democratic legislature pledged to
state wide primaries. That promise
has just been fulfilled. exactly as the
Maine Democrats promised it would
be.
Three years ago the Republicans Of
the nation elected William II. Taft
TO the presidency on his personal
pledge that he would revise the tariff
downward President Taft has turn
ed down two opportunities to keep his
word, again exemplifying the old Re.
publican rule of forgetting promises
as soon as the election is won.
The Change Of Heart.
Just why President Taft broke a
promise made to four members OF con
gress on the statehood question has
never been explained.
In the early days of the extra ses
sion four members of the committee
on territories visited the president
and laid before him the draft of res
olution admitting New Mexico and
Arizona into the union as states. The
resolution provided that the recall
proposition should be submitted tc
the people of Arizona, and that a ma
jority of the voters there should de
eide whether it would be wise to re
tain this provision in the Arizona con
stitution, the bill was so framed tha
neither congress nor the presiden
would have to go on record as u
the merits of the recall. Presiden
Taft gave very congressman presen
luton. The committee, Republicans
and Democrats, left the White House
with this definite understanding.
These members made the statemen
on the floor of the house that tn,
president had agreed to sign the bill
with the result that it was passed b!
both branches of congress. But tn,
president changed his mind and We
toed the bill.

Washington, Sept. 20.-on his swing
around the circle president Taft will
tell the people It was necessary for
him to prevent reduction Of the cost
of living, by vetoing the tariff bills,
because the tariff board hadn't re-
ported.
Here is some tariff board history
that the president will probably not
refer to:
The tariff board was created Sep
tember 26, 1909. On June Z, 1911, q
months later, congress called for
what data the board had collected on
the cost of manufacturing wool, and
was informed the board had nothing to
report. What was the tariff board do
ing these 81 months?
Soon after the appointment of the
board, its chairman, Henry G. EN-
cry, established headquarters in the
private residence OF Frederick Hale,
son of ex-senator Eugene Hale of
Maine, who has been known for years
as one of the most powerful defenders
of ultra protection.
In October, 1910, is was announced
that 'the work of the tariff board
was to be Doomed" at a series OF
banquets. Then for three months the
banqueting campaign occupied the
time and attention of the board. The
two most important banquets at which
the members of the board were winet
and dined we're given by the Ark
wright club, the leading association o.
high protection manufacturers of the
country. and the National association
OF Wool Manufacturers, the wards o.
Schedule X. The plan adopted for es
timating costs is the plan which, a
the dinner given by the beneficiaries
of the wool schedule-Emery was ad
vised to adopt That plan practically
amounts to this: the tariff board will
supply the wooden manufacturers witt
a sample of wooden cloth and card
and the manufacturers will patriotic
ally jot down their version as to thu
cost of manufacture in the Unitet
States.
1t was year after the board wa
created before it started to investi
gate the manufacturing end of thu
wool tariff. And this is the board TO
whose report all tariff revision mus
be held up!

Taft's Offending.

Senator Cummins of Iowa has for
mulated bill OF particulars wherein
Taft has offended Some of the pres
ident's offenses cited are: His posi-
tion on the Payne-Aldrich law; his
position on the bill for the further
regulation of interstate commerce.;
his position made in the postal saw
ings law; his position on the control
and disposition of the public domain;
his position on the proposed income
tax law; his position on the Canadian
reciprocity bill; his work for the peace
treaties; his vetoes of the wooden
schedule, the free list bill, and the
resolution admitting New Mexico and
Arizona as states. AS this list en-
braces nearly every thing in which
the president took part, Mr.. Taft
evidently failed to please the Insur-
gents in anything.

Government BY Stealth.

The Taft administration is even un-
popular with the army of government
employees in Washington. While they
are nor saying anything publicly, the
government clerks are very bitter be-
cause of the many rules inaugurated
under Mr.. Taft which interfere with
their personal rights guaranteed to all
citizens by the constitution itself If
the clerks should protest against their
conditions even to congress, they
would lay themselves liable to dis
charge The object of the administra
ton in resorting to these harsh gag
rule methods is TO prevent leakage
of information injurious to the Repub.
lican party, such as occurred in the
Ballinger case.
The following official order, signed
by George Otis Smith, director of the
geological survey, gives an idea of
Russian-like censorship attempted in
one department.: Rule 2. That no
curing from the person soliciting the
same promise that he will, before
submitting the material to his publ
cation office, present copy of his

sorship was ever attempted before in
