TEN REASONS WHY
You Should Send For Brooks Rnp-
ture Appliance.

You Should Send For Brooks Rup-
ture Appliance.
/. Il is absolutely the only Ap4
pliance Of the kind on the market
today. and in it are embodied the
principles thar inventors have sought
after for years.
2. The Appliance for retaining
the rupture cannot be thrown our
of position.
3. Being an air cushion or soft
rubber il clings closely to the body,
yet never blistersior causes irritation.
4. Unlike the ordinary so-called
pads used in other trusses, il is not
cumbersome or ungainly.
II is small. soft and pliabIe,
and positively cannot be detected
through the clothing.
8. The soft. pliable bands hold
n. the Appliance do not give one the
unpleasant sensation OF wearing a
harness.
Z. There Is nothing about 1t to
= foul, and when il becomes soiled
il can be washed without injuring
ii in the least.
s. There are no metal springs in
the Appliance TO torture one by cut
ting and bruising the flesh.
,. All Of the material OF which
the Appliances are made is OF the
very best that money can buy, max
ing II a durable and safe Appliance
TO wear.
10. Ny reputation for honesty
and fair dealing is so thoroughly
established b. an experience Of over
thirty years Of dealing with the pub
lie, and my prices are so reasonable,
my terms so fair, that there certainly
should be no hesitancy in sending
free coupon today.

ALASKA

Alaska is the largest outlying pos session of the Guggenheim syndicate and the extreme northwestern pro lection of the Western Hemisphere. It is a very cold country, and for this reason Uncle Sam is permitted to hold it now and then while the syndicate blows on its hands. It's area is 5S6,400 square miles, or about S4,OOO square miles apiece for each of the seven Guggenheim bro- thers. It was discovered by Meyer Guggenheim, head of the house, and was purchased from Russia for the Guggenheims when they were young. The government, holding it in trust' handed it over to them when they were all twenty-one years old. Wll- liam H. Seward, who bought it for Meyer Guggenheim, called it Alaska, this being a characteristic corrup tion of the Aleut word alak-shak, or alay-ek-sa, meaning nobody is lookin
 The country is entirely covered by ice and Balhnger coal patents. It is bounded on the south by Simon and William Guggenheim, on the west by solomon and Daniel Guggen- helm on the north by Isaac Guggen- beim and on the east by Benjamin and Morris Guggenheim. The highest

MORE TRANSFORMATION PRINTED
 ABOUT ALASKA

Under the caption More Misinfor- nation Printed in the East About Al aska' this paper reprinted an article which appeared in a recent edition of the Atlanta Constitution.
 The prices quoted might maintain in some few new camps of the inter- for, where transportation facilities are of the very worst, but in no part of Alaska, where there are adequate means of communication with the out side world are such prices found.
 Each meeting the common coun- cil of the Town of Skagway bills for labor are allowed and paid which are for S4 per day.,
 As far as conditions being deplor- able" is concerned, We do not know of single instance of hunger through poverty in the entire district of Alas ka, nor do We know of a strike, or riot having taken place in Alaska for over a year.
 Alaska is being depopulated at the rate of 500 a month" says MT. Adair. This is almost true at this season of the year.
 Most Alaskans have made money enough and to spare during the past summer in one way or another to afford a trip to the States, and had our observing Robin Adair' been spying around a little during the past summer, he would have not ed with what strange regularity the young men of this "500 a month" class received and answered those undeniably feminine written letters, and should he happen to be standing on the quay in the spring when this same '50O per month" class returns to the Dear old Northand" he would be pleased to note the number of Newly-weds who were booked on the passenger list.
 We are pleased to note that Robin went 1000 miles farther north than tourists go as a rule" but we are sorry he picked up much misinforma- ton. We are also sorry if he got wet in the Arctic ocean, where he would be, if he were 1000 miles" north of here.
 We note the Constitution speaks of Secretary Fisher, ''of the Department of Commerce and Labor" going to give us immediate relief. Well, we hope that this part of MT. Adair's story is true, even if he presents the Secretary of the Interior with a new portfolio.
 Why don't they learn the truth, and then WHY DON'T THEY TELL IT?

mountains in North America are there the greatest of them being Simon Guggenheim's pile, 20,30O' feet, and the next, Solomon Guggenheim's pile, 17,534 feet The Guggenheims, who are the rightful owners, have had a good deal of trouble with squatters, particularly the United States Govern ment. The government frequently settles somewhere along tn coast, and it is almost impossible for the Gug- genheims to get justice. They have recently lost a very important case of this kind in which their caretaker Cunningham, was evicted and hit on the back of the head with the door bell. Alaska contains good deal of gold, and it is the intention of the Guggenheims to smelt this with the coal. They estimate that there is jus about enough of both for this purpose and are naturally very anxious to pre- serve the balance. The governor of the territory is J. Pierpont Morgan, and the syndicate has representatives in addition in London, Paris, San Francisco, St. Louis, Chicago, Brus- sels, Seattle, and the United States

VARDAMAN REDIVIVUS.

From Cleveland (Ohio) Plaindealer.
Fardaman of Mississippi, who may
be said to outrank either Tilman or
Jeff Davis as an exponent OF. sense
less and dangerous race hatred, is
said to be making progress in his
race for election to the United States
Senate. The last time Wardaman
waxed senatOrially ambitious Nissis-
slPpI showed her predominating good
sense by defeating him. But the man
has an undeniably large following in
the State, and his aspirations are al
ways dangerous.
The 'Negrophobe" who hourished
abundantly a decade or more ago
seems to be becoming a less import
ant social factor. He is no longer
found among the thinking men OF
the South. Even those Southerners
who are strongly opposed to social
CT even political equality between the
races now look with repugnance upon
a demagogue who continually ex-
ploits race prejudice as his chief po-
litical stock in trade.
For some time after his election to
the Senate Mr.. Tillman stood as the
most prominent exponent of Negro
phobia. But Mr.. TiIIman is astute,
and in time he discovered that the
notOriety he derived from his rabid
utterances in no way added to his
reputation as a statesman or further
ed his personal ambitions. Of recent
years Mr.. Tillman has much. modi-
fed his manners and softened his
speech. The result has been added
usefulness as a Senator and higher
standing in the respect of the ma
ton.
It would really be no joke to send
such a man as Vardaman to the
United States Senate. The State
that sent him would be disgraced,
the tone of the Senate would be low
cred, and the nation Inundated.

DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES.
The Democratic presidential, situa-
ton IS getting more and more inter
esting daily. First, Mr.. Bryan put
his n. G. on Harmon, and now he
has repudiated Speaker Clark. In
the meanwhile Woodrow Wilson is
playing to all factions, endorsing ev-

free wool, but approves the 20 per
cent duty. He is both for and against
the initiative, referendum and recall,
in fact he is for and against anything

CUNNINGHAM vs.. JACKSON
Thinks Jackson's Argument Weak
Editor of The Bee:
Under the caption cunningham
Scare" I have just read a very anus
ing little epistle from the pen OF one
Mr.. James Conway Jackson in an
swer to a letter written by me and
published in The Bee of a recent
date. When I wrote the letter, Mr..
Editor. J very little dreamed that I
was disclosing a professional Negro
Republican spittoOn washer in the
person Of my good friend Mr.. James
Conway Jackson.
I see nothing worthy of notice in
Mr. Jackson's letter, save perhaps
the last paragraph, which reads as
follows: Enough OF this spittoon
business, Mr.. Editor. II z keep it
up this hot weather l will soon be
nothing but a big ball OF expectora-
ton myself"
There you are! Mr., Jackson tells
us plainly that he too IS in the bus
mess" but, unlike the Negro Demo
Gratis, he has hopes" at least of get
ting something better" My sympa-
thy goes out for Mr., Jackson in his
hopes" of getting a ''better place"
before he turns to a ball of expecto-
ration. But l wish to remind Mr..
Jackson that the Negro Republican
spittoon washers haven't any monop-
oily on hopes" of something better, q"
The Democratic Negro has as much
right to hope" as anybody else -
even though he fails to get the things
hoped for, as is the case with many
OF his Republican friends.

To the Editor of The Times:
I always look up The Times Mail
Bag in reading The Times, as I find
some Of the letters very interesting
and instructive. That letter of Mr..
!. Cunningham's of the 18th inst.
would be very amusing, were it not
50 misleading. In berating the col
ored newspapers" lest they lead their
people wrong, he seems to have over
looked the fact that friendship does
not depend on political affiliations. a
fact that has been emphasized by Mr..
Taft, a Republican President, ZAP
pointing Democrats as members of
his cabinet.
Friend, according to Webster,
means one joined to another by af-
lection; an intimate; a conhdant, if
such ties then bound the white and
colored people of the South. 1t was
but natural for the colored people
when freed Cor turned loose in the
big road, as Mr.. Cunningham ex-
presses it) to look 10 those to whom
the ties of friendship had bound
them for so many years. And why
not? Had not their fathers and mo-
theirs been toiling, yea and giving
their life blood that these same white
friends might enjoy a life of ease
and luxury?
As to who was or is the colored
peoples best friend - the very best
friends, both North and South. are
those who care not one whit whether
they are Democrats or Republicans
so long as they are good, industrious,
law-abiding citizens. But this is not
question of friendship; it is a ques-
tion of political parties and human
rights and as to choosing between the
Democratic and Republican parties.
1t is but natural for the colored folk
to vote with the party that keeps
ajar the door of hope, that the Dem
ocratic party South has been trying
their best to close against them.
Oh; yes, Mr.. Cunningham, theI
Democratic party certainly does pro-
duce men who are not afraid to speak
the Democrats South spoke some
time ago, and the majority of the
colored voters South were disfran-
chised; they spoke again, and the col
ored folk South are riding in Jim
Crow cars; the Democrats South are
speaking now, and city after city in |
the South is passing segregation laws, !
that the colored people are
not good enough to even live in the
same neighborhood with white folk. |
Yes, by all means. let the colored
folk vote for a well-bred Republican
