 RESUME DUTIES Huntsville Man Leaves for
 Washington Soon FAVORS UNDERWOOD Regrets Efforts Will Be Made in Con- gress to Amend Sherman Law.
 Proposition From Chatta-
 nooga Is Received

Huntsville, November 23.-(Special) Congressman William Richardson Is making preparations to leave for Washington to attend the approach ing session of Congress. ''I regret very much to see that earnest efforts will be made in the next session to alter or amend the Sherman antitrust law" said Judge Richardson today. q regret it because there will not, in my opinion, be united action in the democratic party on that subject. re- will tend to make the amendment of the Sherman antitrust law leading and possibly paramount issue in the cam paign of next year. I believe that we have winning issue that was made in the last extra session of Congress and in the vetoes of President Taft that is "a tariff for revenue only Pres ident Taft throughout his recent long tour of speaking evidently sought to make the decision of the supreme court of the United States in the Standard oil and Tobacco cases an issue in tue next campaign. He is afraid of the issue made by the last democratic Congress, aided by his vetoes, from which issue he cannot escape. He will be delighted if democrats will aid him in setting aside the tariff issue and take up the amendment of the Sher- man antitrust law.
 If there are so many great evils and troubles as pointed out by some few leading democrats in the Sher- man antitrust law certainly, having stood and borne them for 20 years, We can hold up while under the broad decision of the supreme court of the United States, until we have observed the effect of that decision. I stand un- alterably for the one issue of tariff for revenue only and I am opposed to any legislation in the next Congress that will force upon us another and a different issue in the campaign of next year. I much regret that conditions with me were such that 1t was prac- tically impossible for me to attend the banquet given MT. Underwood by his home fo1k-a worthy and deserved compliment to Mir. Underwood's wse prudent and patriotic leadership on the floor of the House during the extra ses- sion of Congress. I am more than ready and willing to honor MT. Under wood with the highest position with in the gift of the people of the United StateS.''

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
versity, 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 basis of gradual adjustment
which requires time and patience. If
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 a right to make just complaint,
the trouble may be in the north as
well as in the south.
"They have right to complain Of
their treatmeDe II the lower courts,
which are the A4zln courts for most of
their people. u 6 a shame that less
care is takcn. Lrs money paid, less
thought given D. jsure 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 humiliating treat
ment in the way of gruff 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 be
brought out of the condition of igno-
rance and inefficiency.
"The fourth complaint is that we
are too apt to generalize the Negroes
as a mass and judge the whole by
the worst types. On the contrary, the
colored people of the south should be
encouraged to have self respect and

Still of that waltz I'm dreaming,
For she was mine that lovely night,
Was mine at least in seeming.
Within that room, that crowded room,
SO crowded, yet so lonely,
We drifted on, we two alone
| thought of her, her only.
Her little hand, her jeweled hand,
Seemed lightly to caress me;
1t shrilled my heart with pride and
joy,
1t seemed to say, 81 bless thee"
The music rose, the music fell,
Now slower and now faster,
On, on we danced in easy tune,
Close, closer still I clasped her.
I watched her eyes, her wistful eyes !;
breathed through perfumed
tresses,
Her dimpled cheeks and pouting lips
Invited warm caresses.
Her pensive flush, her truant blush,
Betrayed her inward feelings;
Those droopings eyes, those gentle
signs
Suggested loves revealings.
We drifted on, outside the room;
All, how could I resist her,
SO in that dimly-lighted hall
slyly stopped and-kissed her.
The music dreamed, the music
breathed,
The story that I told her,
And in that Railways friendly gloom
She listened on my shoulder.
