Warning to Federal Government.

The effort TO elect United States
senators by direct vote Of the people
deserves to fail. says the Dallas (Tex.)

soaked in iniquity. The very day the

to this heresy that day the national

THE RACE QUESTION SOUTH.
colored Citizens Have Just Cause For
Complaint. Says billiard.

In the course Of his lecture on The
Growing South" at the Waldorf
Astoria in New York recently. Presi-
dent James H. billiard of Tulane uni
yersity, Louisiana. said:
at is doubtful whether the discus
sion Of the race question in the south
is helpful at this time. Quiet work for
improved conditions is more needed
than loud talk So much has been said
and done which might cause irritation
that the wonder is how peaceably the
millions are going on about their bust
ness. 1t is only the dozens and hun
dreds about whom we hear trouble.
In my opinion. the races are settling
down to a basis Of gradual adjustment,
which requires time and patience. II
we wish to hurry let us hurry in the
way Of better schools. better religion,
better homes and more landowners.
shall venture to mention four grounds
on which ! think the colored people
have right 10 make just complaint
the trouble may be in the north as
well as In the south
They have a right TO complain Ut
their Treatment 4 the lower courts
which are the isasln courts for most OF
their people. Il g shame that less
care is taken. kHs money paid. less
thought given b ,sure justice In these
lower courts than in the higher courts
Another just ground of complaint is
the treatment which they too often
receive from the employees OF public
service corporations. especially from
the employees Of common carriers.
such as ticket sellers and car con
ductors. .mean the humilating treat
ment in the way of grutr words and
manner
Still another cause of complaint is
that in many parts In the south. es-
pecially in the rural districts, the
colored people are not provided with
public schools which are open long
enough or have sufficiently competent
teachers. The education Of the masses
must depend on the public schools.
and our southern white people must
learn that from every consideration Of
justice. as well as from every con
sideration Of self interest. the masses
OF the race In the country must he
brought out Of the condition OF ignO-
rance and inefficiency.
'''rhe fourth complaint is that we
are too apt to generalize the Negroes
as mass and judge the whole by
the worst types. On the contrary, the
colored people OF the south should be
encouraged 10 have self respect and
race respect.

SHOULD LADY RIDE ASTRIDE
Habit Seems TO Be Growing Among
London Society Women and Fash
ion Making Rapid Strides.

London-The question, Should
women ride astride?" is likely to be-
come "a burning question" again this
season. Already an unusual number
of fair equestriennes have sported the
divided habit in Rotten Row and 1t
appears that the fashion is making
rapid Roadway in the riding schools,
especially among very young girls.
Several society sportswomen are do
ing their best to make the style
catch on For several years past
Lady Castlereagh has regularly rid
den astride in the row, and other dis
tinguished "astriders" are the Ouch
ess Of Westminster, Lady Constance
Stewart-R and the Hon. Mrs.
Fairburn. OF small girls riding
astride in the row there are many,
well-known example being the Ouch
ess of Sutherland's little daughter,
Lady Rosemary Leveson-Grower.
OF the pioneers, one at least, Lady
Constance Stewart-Richardson has
never ridden a horse in any other
way She wears a pretty long-skirted
coat and CATERS and long boots and
looks fine figure in her attire. Lady
Constance is beautiful, 1.-THE and slim
and is considered one of the best of
English horsewomen.
Ten years ago a woman riding
astride would have attracted as much
notice as the wearer of the "harem"
skirt is doing now. Nowadays the
West End Matchmaker receives his or.
ders for divided skirts and coats as
very ordinary part of his daily work.

Vessel of Forty-Eiqht Tons Makes
Four Thousand-MiIe Trip and
Rides Storms Safely.

Halifax, n. Scattered by gales
after a four thousand-mile voyage,
with less than two tons of coal in her
bunkers and her food supply almost
exhausted, the tiny government quar-

after nine days rough weather ar

muda, which was reached in eighteen
days.
The Alva left st. Georges and as
soon as the port was cleared rough
weather was encountered. The little
craft nearly foundeTed when a great

SOUNDS DOOM OF COAL MAN
Electricity VIII Soon Be Used
for Fuel.

New York-At an electrical dinner
at the Montauk club, Brooklyn, Charles
w. Price, editor of the Electrical Re
view, one of the speakers, said:
81 dare make the prediction, based
on knowledge of important expert
ments, that the day is not far distant
when the coal pile in the cellar will be
replaced by the electrical reservoir Of
box-like shape and moderate size, to
furnish heat throughout the entire
building, and also to the kitchen for
cooking. And this will be done eco
nomically compared with coal, as this
accumulated electricity will be stored
at low cost and be on tap for use when
needed. l am hopeful that this may be
realized before we meet again, one
year from now, If we do meet. Then
will the coal wagon in front of the
house disappear, the furnace caretaker
lose his vocation, and the ashman be-
come Renaissance"

NEW CATTLE FEED

Yancement association, also those OF
the Northern Michigan association,
visited the grinding room this week,
also Mr.. Cooks farm. One and all
join in the claim that Mr.. Cook has
a discovery that will revolutionize
dairy feeding. There is no spot in
the country outside Of the treeless
and arid states that cannot make use
of the new method. Demands for in
formation on the new method are
flooding the mails of the Wisconsin
Advancement association.
In an interview Mr.. Cook said: 81
believe my discovery will revolution
ize dairying and stock farming
throughout the country. l am anxious
to give my discovery to the world. A
man can now begin clearing a track
of cutover land and begin his dairy
herd the same day. It means an ad-
vance of from one to two years for
the average farmer settling in a new
district. l give you my unrestricted
permission to publish the facts"

CROACH PATRICK IS FAMOUS

for building the tiny edifice was hand
ed from one man to another, until 1t
was passed up long line of 400 or 500
men stationed all the way up the
steep mountain track.
An annual pilgrimage to Croagh Pat
trick takes place on the last Sunday
of July. Mass is offered on that day
on the holy mountain for every per-
son who gave any help toward the
erection of the oratory, for those who
now give aims to maintain it, and for
all who make the pilgrimage known
to others.
Under the shadow of the chapel is
a lonely grave-the last resting place
of a man called Bob O the Reek,"
who, for many years, was in the habit
of making nightly pilgrimage to
Croagh Patrick.
