"in the fond hope that it would do
service in defeating the resolution as
whole" He declared 1t had been
used for a similar purpose for the last
thirty years. Concluding he said:
"The negro has been used as a po-
litical football about as long as our
own sense of decency and his develop
ing intelligence will permit. We
should no longer mistreat him, but we
should have the courage to inform him
as to the real situation. 1t does not
benefit him to make him the subject of
our sophomore rhetoric. The colored
race has advanced to the point where
we well may dispense with the peren-
NAL distribution of soothing syrup and
give them solid food in the way of
facts. We should tell him the truth
and conceal nothing.
"The negro is beginning to realize
that the white man of the north is of
the same race as the white man of
the south, and that in his blood is the
virus of dominion and power. He
should know that, while his slave
chains have been broken, the chains
of industry are being forged around
him and will continue to hold him,
unless he himself can break them.
This badge was placed upon him by
his Maker, and it can be removed only
by the negro himself with the aid of
those who have the courage to tell
him the truth, which is, that we have
the power to guarantee to him the
equal protection of the law and to pro-
tect him against discrimination. To
attempt anything more would be ruin
Gus to the colored man and demoraliz-
ing to the white political body. He
must work out the problem under the
constitution.
No Bill For Him.
when the eXigencies of debate are
over it will be found that no measure
will be offered in the senate to protect
any supposed right of the colored man
anywhere. If those who are interest
ed will turn to the constitution they
will find there the universal rule Of
equality, the only rule to be applied to
the negro and the only rule under
which We can legislate. If applied, it
will be proven to be the correct rule,
the rule for all of u.s."

upon the consideration of the effect
of the Sutherland amendment on the
race problem of the south. In his gen.
eral remarks he contended that as the
resolution stands, notwithstanding it
gives the state legislators control of
senatorial elections, congress still
would have the right to interfere in
protection of any citizen whose right
of franchise had been interfered with.
The Idaho senator expressed deep
regret that the race question had been
brought into the controversy, and as
serted that its introduction was in
tended only to imperil the resolution.
He began this portion of his address
by paying his respects to the northern
states.
When Will It End?
81 wonder how long the north is 60
ing to play the hypocrite and the
moral coward on this question" he
said, and added that that section al
ways had assumed more wisdom and
more tolerance in dealing with this
problem than had been displayed else
where. He insisted that call of the
roll of the northern states in which
there is any appreciable number Of
negroes would demonstrate that the
north had not dealt more leniently
with the negro than had other sec
tions.
1.-THE northern states have exhibited
the same race prejudice that has been
shown elsewhere" he asserted. "In
the north we burn the negro at the
stake and there, as in other sections
we have our race wars. We push our
negroes to the outer edge of the indus
trial world. We exhibit the same
prejudice, the same weakness, the
same intolerance that is apparent in
the southland"
Mr.. Borah declared that if congress
had power under the existing pro
vision of the constitution giving con
gressional control over senatorial cleo
tons it should be exercised.
"If that right exists the north has
the gerater obligation under it, be
cause it makes claim to it. We assert
the power but we admit that we have
not had the moral courage to exercise
it," For himself he denied the exist
ence of any such power and said he
resented such position because Of
the position in which congress was
placed by it.

CATARRH
A SPECIFIC BLOOD MpURITY

Catarrh is a deep-seated blood dis
ease, one which no amount of local
treatment will ever permanently cure.
The beneficial effects of washes,
sprays, inhalations, etc., are only
temporary, and when left off the old
condition returns, because the blood
is infected with catarrhal matter and
impurities. This impure condition
of the circulation irritates and in
flames the delicate mucous men,
branes and tissues and produces the
we'll known symptoms of ringing
noises in the head and ears, mucous in
the throat, headaches, watery eyes,
partial deafness, sore throat, general
impairment of health, etc. This con-
dition will remain, growing worse as
long as the catarrhal matter is al
lowed to remain in the blood. Being
aspecifc blood impurity, there is only
one way to cure Catarrh, and that is
to purify the blood Nothing equals
S. S. S. for this purpose. 1t attacks

lation-and by thoro5f hly renovating

ADMIRAL NICHOLSON.
Must Go To Asiatic Station Because
He Is Not In Accord With Sec
retary Meyer.

There has been considerable COM
ment recently in naval circles over the
Forthcoming retirement of Rear Ad-
miral Reginald T. Nicholson, u. S.
N, as chief of the bureau of navi-
cation and his assignment to the
command of the Asiatic squadron,
succeeding Rear Admiral Joseph B.
Murdock.
Admiral Nicholson was appointed
chief Of the bureau of navigation on
December /, 1909, and under ordinary
circumstances would serve for a period
of four years. 1t is understood that
Admiral Nicholson is not in sympathy
with the legislative programme of
Secretary Meyer, especially m regard
to questions affecting the pers onnel
of the navy.
AS Secretary Meyer and Admiral
Nicholson are not in accord on per-
sonal matters an embarrassing situa-
tion might arise if the Admiral were
summoned next winter before naval
committee of Congress and asked his
opinions of Mr.. Meyers recommends
tions. Admiral Nicholson would be
forced into the unpleasant position of
either declining to state them or ex-
pressing views which might be objec-
tionable to his superior.
For this reason Admiral Nicholson
will be relieved of duty as chief of the
bureau Of navigation before Congress
meets. Secretary Meyer has selected
Admiral Nicholson's successor,but will
not make public the name of the new
chief until he has obtained the ap-
proval of President Taft. Among
those mentioned in naval circles for
the place are Capt Nathaniel R.
Usher. until recently in command of
the battleship Michigan, of the Allan
tic fleet; Capt. Templin H. Potts, chief
intelligence officer, and Commander
Philip Andrew, naval aid to Secretary
Myer.
Admiral Nicholson's assignment to
the command of the Asiatic station
is similar to the foreign duty to
which w. L. Capps, former chief
constructor of the navy, was assign
ed after he relinqushed his post as
chief of the bureau of construction
and repair about a year ago. Mr..
Capps had been vigorous critic be-
fore the House Committee on Naval
Affairs of Secretary Meyers reor-
ganization of the Department, and
after he gave up his post as chief con-
structor he was assigned to special
duty in the Philippines, which kept
him away from Washington through
out the last session of Congress.

CORNER STONE LAID.
Imposing Ceremonies At West Annsp-
oils For New Church.

With Imposing and dignitied ceremo-
MES yesterday afternoon the corner
stone for the new church at West An.
napois was laid with Masonic rites by
Annapolis Lodge A. f. and A. NJ.
Mr.. Busch, master. and Mr. L. Dor
sey Gassaway, secretary.
The lodge of Masons attended the
ceremonies in a body and their partic-
ipation in the event marked the dav
an important one as we'll as the occa-
sion. The weather was propitious
and almost spring-like, instead of an
autumn day. The entire population
of West Annapolis, to a man and wo-
man, was present at the laying of the
cornerstone, and many from town and
the surrounding county.
After the Masonic rites a brief ad-
dress was made by the pastor, Rev.
Alexander Bielaski, of the MARYLAND
Avenue NJ. e. Church, the mother
church of West Annapolis, to which
the new offspring will belong, and un-
der whose control she will be fostered.
The pastor. Mr.. Bielski, spoke of
The Intent and Purpose of the
Church to a Community.
The program was interspersed with
singing by the choir from MARYLAND
Avenue M. f. Church, Mr.. William
4. Feldmeyer, choirmaster. The choir
sang Rock of Ages" and other fa-
miliar hymns suitable to the occasion.
DuriNg the ceremonies a hat collec-
tion was lifted for the funds for the
new church and nearly S25 was the
amount of the offertory. The new
church will be of stone and cement
foundation and the edifice proper of
frame.
In the cornerstone were placed coin
of the day and among other things
copies of the newspapers included one

MISS PINKNEY RESIGNS.
Ladies Cemetery Association Elects
Mrs. Douw To Succeed Secretary.

The Ladies' Cemetery Association
of St. Anne's Cemetery held a we'll
attended and interesting meeting yes
terday afternoon at the home of the
president, Mrs. Joseph P. McComas,
at the Rectory. Much business was
transacted and plans for the winter S
work were fully and freely discussed.
An important feature of the meet
ing was the election of a new secre-
tary. Miss Mamie Pinkney, char
ter member of the Ladies' Cemetery
Association, and lone who has been
closely identified with the work, ten
dered her resignation, which was re-
gretfully accepted. The other mem
bers were loathe to give up their old
secretary. but upon her protest that
she felt herself no longer capable to
do the work, her resignation was &C.
cepted with deep regret, and there
were many kind expressions of appre,
cation of Miss Pinkney's work.
The Association then went into the
election of new secretary, and Mrs.
Douw was unanimously elected tc
fill the vacancy created by Miss Pink.

ST. JOHNS VS.. NAVY
Game Of Unusual Interest From
Local Standpoint To Be Played
At Academy Today.
COLLEGIANS ARE OUTWEIGHED.
Sailor Lads Anticipate No Trouble In
Piling Up Good Score Comparison
With Hopkins.

Indications this morning are that
the husky Navy football team in its
second game of the season, will again
have an opportunity to get some good
practice at handling a wet ball and
playing on slippery soggy field in
this afternoons game with st. Johns
College.
The Collegians who meet the Acad-
emy huskies this afternoon are light.
and the best that their supporters are
hoping for is that they may be able
to score as Hopkins did last week.
The weather conditions, with a cold
drizzling rain, are duplicate of
those which prevailed on last Satur-
day, when the Navy opened its sched-
ule with Johns Hopkins.
Both teams are in fine fetter for
the fray, but every advantage favors
the sailor lads. So far as the Col
legians are concerned, every effort will
be concentrated to holding their op-
ponents to as low a score as possible.
Considerable interest centers in the
game through the desire of st. John $
to make equally as good a showing as
their rivals of the Johns Hopkins Uni
versity, who went down before the
Middies to the tune of 27 to S in the
opening contest for the Navy on last
Saturday.
The result should afford some
means of comparison between Hop
kins and st. Johns, who are to
meet in their annual battle in Balti-
mre on November Is. The main ad-
vantage with the Middies is weight.
Their team averages more than l75
pounds, while that of st. Johns will
scarcely reach 160, and while the
Navy boys are somewhat more exper-
fenced, when it comes to speed, the
Collegians are right there with the
goods.
Woodward, the regular left tackle
of st. Johns, will be unable to get
into the game because of a slight in
jury, and his place will be filled by
Broadwater.

A LIVELY RUN.
Anne Arundel Hunt Club Chases Sir
Reynard For Nearly Three Hours In
Early Morning Run-AusDicious Start
OF Fox Hunting Season.

The first run of the Anne Arundel
Hunt Club, which took place this
morning just beyond the Water Works
in Broad Greek Neck, was a great
success.
Undaunted by the rain which was
falling at that hour, several members
of the Club, including Commander
MARVEL, M. F. H., and Mrs. MARVEL,
Commander Durell and Mr.. Ridgely
P. Melvin, the president of the Club,
with Huntsman Aisquith and the pack
of hounds left Annapolis shortly be-
fore o'clock.
They were later joined by Mr.. Mil
ton Duvall with his hounds, and the
pack was put in on the left of the
county road, about mile west of the
Water Works. Almost Immediately
big gray fox was started and for
over two hours there was an exciting
chase, during which the fox was sew
eral times in full view. The chase
covered considerable territory and
fields, through woods, marshes and
gullies, for the willy gray followed
his natural tendency to circle his
tracks. He was finally either killed
or lost in the dense woods and marsh
es to the east of the reservoir.
Another run will be held Saturday
morning in the same neighborhood
and all who desire to participate are
invited to do so.

HOME GROWN COTTON.
Raised In The Garden OF Mr.. Philip

To see cotton growing and flourish
ing in these parts is a novel and inter
esting sight, and one has but TO so TO
Eastport for this privilege.
Some time ago Mr. Philip Barrett.
a thrifty and enterpising resident of
Eastport, went TO Texas on "a visit and
was induced to bring home with him
some seeds of cotton grown i'm the
South and some young shoots, which
he planted in his garden at Eastport.
not thinking they would grow They
did, however, and exceeded his fondest
hopes.
Mr.. Barrett has raised several full
grown cotton plants, two Of which he
today presented The Capital. The
plants are thrifty and give promise of
cotton-raising in Annapolis as well as
in Georgia and Texas. The plants at
The Capital office are in full bloom
and have attracted much attention and
admiration by all who have visited
this office today.
