ally because they needed the
money; and advertisers spent
the money because they thought
they ought to support the news
papers.
Today the situation is just the
reverse. Advertisers spend
money with newspapers because
THEY NEED THE NEWS
PAPERS.
Newspapers accept advertise
ments, for one reason, because
the community needs the news

Mr.. Capper also said that one
Of the most striking things in

years has been the tendency of
the daily newspaper to RE-
FUSE to carry certain classes of
medical advertising, which they
formerly carried.

Here is another important
thing he said:
There are $4,000 daily news
papers in this country and my
impression is that LESS THAN

is called nasty advertising"
The fact is, there has been a
general HOUSECLEANING in
advertising in the past few
years. Many publishers today
guarantee the reliability of their
advertisers.
Mr.. Capper, as everybody
knows, is one of the ablest news
paper men of the west, so what
he says on this subject of a gen.
eral uplift in the advertising col

Welcoming the Negroes.

When, on the 10th of this month,
the National Negro Business League
meets in Little Rock, Ark, it will have
the pleasure of knowing that a cordial
welcome awaits its members Not only
did the mayor of the city extend an
earnest invitation to the league to meet
in Little Rock, but the governor has
taken occasion formally to state that
Everything possible will be done by our
citizenship to make your visit both
pleasant and profitable" The board of
trade has assured the league that every
thing possible will be done for the COM
fort of the delegates, while the State
superintendent of public instruction and
other officials are equally cordial in
their expressions of hospitality.
The league is an association of COL
ored men, and, in the language of
Booker T. Washington, its president,
has come to be one of the most potent
agencies in stimulating hopefulness and
individual and cooperative achievement
among the negro people of the United
States. 1t must feel that the liberality
and encouragement which are displayed
by the officials of Arkansas and of
Little Rock is gratifying sign of the
disappearance of race prejudice, and
that it is indicative of support for a
movement which has the betterment of
the negro race for its purpose
The convention will consider a pro-
gramme of practical and helpful topics.
1t will not deal with abstract and re-
mote questions, but with merchandise
ing, truck farming, blacksmithing, land
owning, catering, stock raising, and
kindred subjects. In this way the dele
gates will be materially assisted in max
ing themselves and their people useful
and productive members of society.

PROTEST AGAINST
TAXATION SYSTEM
Alexandria County Folks Ask
Equality in Rates.

Charging that the activity OF the po-
litical ring Of Alexandria County. Va,
caused Col. Joseph Garrard to refuse to
allow the Fort Myer Band to play at the
public meeting Of the Progressive League
Of that county last night at Clarendon,
Va, 8. P. Wright. chairman OF the COM
mittee. severely arraigned the ring for
attempting to suppress the attendance at
the meeting.
The real purpose Of the league. as voiced
by the various speakers. Is not to indorse
candidates for Office. but to get the vot-
ers OF the county together in nonpartisan
meetings and talk over the affairs of vital
Importance to every citizen. Members
of the league are thoroughly reused over
what they term the inequality in the
taxes as levied recently One of the
largest operators and holders of real es-
tate in the county, Frank Lyons, scored
the present taxation system and urged
equality in the levying of taxes.
w. W. Wright, president Of the league,
said that, although there Is not enough
money to run the schools. II is not be-
cause there Is not enough property to be
taxed, but because II is not taxed equally.
Mr.. Wright was followed by George w.
Zacharay, of the Jefferson district Of the
county, and Walter Varney, Of the same
district Mr.. varney stated that In the
past FIVE years the school population OF
the county has increased 81 per cent,
while the money for this purpose per
capita has decreased 25 per cent.

CONVENTION OF THE STATES.
It Is Suggested as a Substitute for
the Supreme Court.

II Is Suggested as a Substitute for
the Supreme Court.
Editor The Washington He-ald:
In your leading editorial OF August 2.
discussing Senator Owens recent speech
denying the authority OF the Federal Su-
preme Court to pass upon the constitu-
| tionality OF acts OF Congress. you say:
Only the most radical Will agree that Congress
may enact any legislation. matter how much at
variance with the Constitution without an opportu-
nifty being afforded somewhere for the error To be
rectifed.
That is true-and yet, because such a
power Of revision or rectifcation must
be afforded somewhere" must It neces-
sarily be in the Federal Judiciary, which
is o -ly one coordinate part or branch
Of the government Of strictly limited and
delegated powers, created under and ex-
isting only by virtue OF that Constitution
which It would assume to construe au-
thoritatively for all? A much more logical
contention is that OF Hayne and Calhoun
in their debates with Webster in 1890 -33,
that this court Of last resort in questions
constitutional is rightly to be found in
convention Of the States. representing
the peoples Of the several States, the
creating power Of and above the Consti-
tuition. and of all governmental func-
tionaries. In present-day parlance, this
would form a State referendum for the
settlement of vexed questions of Fed
eral legislation, Just as popular referen-
dunn Is now being turned to as the proper
court for disputed questions of State and
municipal legislation. Juridical tyranny
is no better than kingly despotism; usur-
patton by the court is just as much
usurpation as is that by the crown.
Nulification (State veto or State inter
position pending an appeal to the gen.
eral convention, or referendum, of the
States) was exercised in one great crisis,
with a peaceful settlement as the bene-
fetal result. 1t should be resorted to
again. LLOYD T. EVERETT.

Col. Astor's Marriage.

1t may be said that the approaching
marriage of Col. John Jacob Astor to
Miss Madeline Force is not a subject
for newspaper comment. In a sense
this is true 1t would be entirely true
if the circumstances connected with the
affair were not such as to affect the
character of the social structure upon
which this republic, if it is to be en-
during, must safely rest.
Because he was divorced from his
wife upon charges that need not be re-
hearsed here, four eminent bishops of
the Episcopal Church-Bishops Greer,
of New York; Mackay-Smith, of Phila-
delphia; Lawrence, of Massachusetts,,
and Doane, of Albany-have publicly
announced that no clergynen in their
respective dioceses will be allowed to
perform the marriage ceremony. AS a
matter of fact, the man in the case is
forbidden by the laws of New York to
renlarry in that State. 1t will, there
fore, be incumbent upon him to find
refuge in some State where he can
escape the operation of law.
The prominence which is naturally
given to the Astor affair will undoubt-
edly lead to a renewed effort to Sc
cure a uniform marriage and divorce
law. AS it is questionable whether such
law would be constitutional, inasmuch
as the regulation of marriage and di-
vorce may reasonably be considered
purely State right, it would seem as if
the opportunity presented itself to the
commission on uniform law to redouble
IFS endeavor to frame a code which can
be adopted by all the legislatures. This,
of course would be slow process, but
the result would justify all the time and
expense which might be occasioned
Certain it is that there is something
radically wrong with our system Of gov
ernment when an act which is illegal
in one State is perfectly proper across
border line At any rate, if we are
to preserve the sanctity of the home
and of the family relation, we need to
reform present conditions and to edu-
cate and elevate the public conscience
to point where it will not tolerate or
condone offenses which initiate against
society.

The Late Senator FRYE.

In the death of William Pierce Frye,
of Maine. the country loses a valuable
citizen. In the House and Senate for
nearly hall a century, he contributed
with profound knowledge, clear reason
ing, and, above all, intense patriotism
to the formation of legislative meas
ures. He was naturally leader OF
men-not in a domineering or tyranni-
cal sense, but through the exercise of
qualities which gained for him univer-
sal respect. His ideals were high, and
he lived up to them
The weakness and inhrmity of age
kept him out of the later struggles, SO
that the characteristics which made him
an imposing figure years ago were not
personally apparent to the men of the
younger generation in the Senate.
There had come down through the
years, however, the record of his life
and this was sufficient to place him
upon the highest pedestal of public re-
gard. In fact, it is no exaggeration to
say that there was no man in the Sen
ate more deserving of the crown OF
honor which was so gladly accorded
him.
He was a partisan, of course, for
he had been reared in a school which
placed high value upon loyalty to
party organization but even in his de-
votion to political principles he was
tolerant of opposing views. His breadth
cf mind kept him from being narrow
AID bigoted. He was for his country
first, last, and all the time--a true
patriot, a valuable citizen. wise states
man, and, more than all, thoroughly
honest man.
The Washington herald., 1911-08-10
The New Electoral College.

The effect of the new reapportlon-
ment law upon the electoral college next
year has not been given the attention
which the subject deserves. The total
number of electoral votes row to be
cast for President and Vice President
is 525, with the possibility that the ad-
mission of New Mexico and Arizona
may increase the number to 53I. This
means that the winning candidate must
get at least 263 and probably zoo votes.
II will be remembered, of course, that
in 1908 Mr. TAFT received 32I cleo
toral votes, as against I62 cast for Mr..
Bryan 1t SO happens that the States
which then went Republican have
gained thirty-two votes by the reappor-
tionment, while the States which went
Democratic have gained ten. There
must be. therefore, a marked reversal
of conditions in the next election il
the Democrats are to be successful.
Experience has shown that prognosti-
cations based upon the events OF the
past are of little value In these days,
when political changes occur with great
rapidity, the fact that one State went
Republican or Democratic in 1908 is not
a sufficient reason for predicting that it
will be found in the same column next
year At the same time. it is interest
ing to know that even if the Democrats
next year carry the entire South, liz
cluding Maryland, Delaware, West Vir-
ginia, and Oklahoma, they will still be
seventy-eight votes short Of the requl-
site majority. The four States men,
TONED may return to the Democratic
side, and the seventy-eight votes may
be obtained, especially as the trend of
things is in that direction; but the Re-
publican leaders are finding some hope
in the fact that the gain by reappor-
tionment is 10 their advantage.
The Washington herald., 1911-08-10
WOOL CONFERENCE
REPORT TO Be MADE
To-day Will Settle Question
of Rate in Bill.

It is expected that there will be a rift
in the tariff clouds before the close of
the day. Senator La Toilette and Repre-
sentative Underwood will hold a formal
conference today. 1t is expected that
each will be prepared to submit a pro-
posal for a compromise on the wool bill
and on the farmers free list bill.
II an agreement cannot be reached the
conferees will probably report dis
agreement to both houses before the
close Of the day. Representative Under
wood told a number of the House leaders
yesterday that he will make some sort
Of a report before the House adjourns
to-day. 1t was learned that Senator
La Toilette has already submitted a pro-
bill based on 80 per cent duty on raw
wool. with a corresponding reduction
averaging per cent on the manufac-
lures of wool from the rates as they ap-
pear in the Senate bill.
Representative Underwood Is insisting
on a much lower rate of duty. Senator
La Toilette will probably be willing to ac-
cept reductions based on 2S per cent on
raw wool, if he can find sufficient DEM
ocratic and insurgent support to pass it
through the Senate. But his conferences
with the insurgents have convinced him
that they are not prepared to go below 80
per cent.
Senator La Toilette may urge his COL
leagues on the Senate conference commit
tee to join him in recommending a bill
drawn on 2S per cent and take the sense
OF the Senate, and II that should fail,
then renew the conferences with a view
Of agreeing on a bill drawn on a 30 per
cent basis.
While Representative Underwood is con-
tending for a bill based on % per cent
on raw wool and is apparently unwilling
to go higher. some of the House leaders
believe that the Democrats Of the House
would be willing to vote even for 30 per
cent rather than see the bill fail entirely.
that will indicate the fate of the tariff
legislation.
The farmers free list bill Is not
causing the conferees as much trouble
as the wool bill. Representative Un-
derwood has already indicated that he
will want to submit to the House for
its approval or disapproval the Kern
amendment to the farmers bill, limit
ing free trade In beef and -four to
those countries with which the United
States has reciprocal trade agreements,
under which United States farm prod
ucts are admitted free Of duty.
This would limit the free trade in
beef and -four to Canada, and was the
concession which the Senate Democrats
had to make to the insurgents and to
Senators Bailey and Simmons in order
to get the necessary votes to pass the
free list bill.
