FRIDAY, AUGUST II, 1911.
Registration Days.

From the 14th to the 26th of this
month the regular biennial registra-
ton will be held On another page
will be found list of the registration
places and also other information per.
tanning thereto.
We give all of this information for
the benefit of our readers, women as
well as men, and children as well as
parents. 1t is the duty of every male
citizen of voting age to register and
qualify to exercise the right to vote.
1t is the duty of everyone to be-
come interested in his fellowman to
the extent of seeing to it that he regis
tiers. Conditions in Tennessee are
such that voting is vital PROPOSE
ton to the Negro. 1t is not question
of holding Office as much as it is who
shall hold the Office. 1t is a common
thing for the army of Office seekers
to contain in their ranks some of the
vilest men upon the face of the earth.
1t appears in some cases the best peo-
pie get behind this wreckless class and
put them up to do things that a de-
cent man would not stoop to. We
would not say that such an idea is in
the mind of any men in this city.
Nevertheless, if it should appear that
some one is thinking such a thing.
after the registration period is closed.
1t would be too late to find a remedy
to prevent such a man from entering
into public Office.
Now is the time to prepare against
such evils. A great deal has been
said recently about the Negro vote in
this state. There are some who claim
that his exercise of the franchise is
a menace to the peace and happiness
Of the commonwealth; but no sane
man will believe that such is the case.
History does not prove that it is to
the best interest of any people to
neglect such an important duty as
voting. Another proof that the
accusation is groundless is that when
election time comes the very people
who declare that the Negro vote is a
menace are foremost in working to
secure his aid in an election, and they
are the last people to give him credit
for such aid. In such crisis it is
not sufficient for any man to conclude
that he has done his full duty when
he registers himself, but there is a
further duty that rests upon him. He
should feel that it is just as important
for his brother to register as it is for
himself Consequently, from now until
after the registration period closes,
every one, men, women and children,
should join the campaign to urge the
Negroes to register.
1t does not make any difference
whether you have moved or not, you
must register this year if you expect
to vote in any election for the next
two years. You can not register in
the supplementary registration unless
you have registered in the regular
registration. Every minister and all
public officials should become interest
ed in this matter. 1t should not be
forgotten that less than twelve months |
ago this state was in a political up
heavel and that the smoke of that

WIRELESS ON AIRSHIPS.

An aeroplanist has many adverse features to contend with, as compared with the pilot of a dirigible, in con- sdering the favorable application of wireless apparatus on his craft. For instance, d drag rope, making contact with the sea, is not a practical scheme, while the weight of the apparatus it. self is an additional handicap. As af fairs now stand, the aviator has little time to manipulate d wireless set, as every moment must be devoted to op- erating. steering and balancing his craft.
 The immediately practical utilization of both types of flying machines seems logically to be for the purpose of scout ing in war maneuvers; but, without the means of communicating with the general of the division or the com mander of the fleet. the possibilities of the flying machine as a tactical and strategical instrument would be seri- ously impaired, while if the apparatus was disabled by a shot fired from one of the new guns devised for the espe- cial purpose before any information had been transmitted the aerial obserVa- tions would be entirely lost.-A. l..

He becomes so absorbed in speculations of this kind that he ne glects his work, and abuses his fam fly, and finally is sent to the poor house because he has no visible means of support.
 This remarkable pipe colors up like meerschaum. and the more you smoke it the better it tastes. Thus smoking becomes a pleasure instead of a disagreeable duty. The country is full of men who smoke nearly all the time, in order to protect their families from deadly germs They groan un- der the burden. but with Spartan hero ism. they keep on smoking. fearing that their loved ones would fall victims to glanders or appendicitis if they quit only those who have suffered and en- dured for the protection of others can understand the self-sacrifice of these noble men. However. this new Scotch pipe comes to them with healing in it's wings, SO to speak. Hereafter they can smoke all day long, and until bed time in the evening. and find it as- time rather than an ordeal

WELCOME FOR A NEW PIPE

In recent times the people of Sect land have not distinguished them selves in the field of invention, says the Emporia Gazette. They have con- tributed nothing tc the perfection of airships, telephones or other useful things. This seemed strange because a century or so ago the Scotch were identified with most of the great in ventions and improvements in machin- cry and engineering.
 However. the grand old century has shaken off her apathy, as it were, and it remained for one of her citizens to invent a pipe that promises to revo- lutiOnize smoking. The trouble with briar and meerschaum pipes, and other common kinds, is that they soon be- come as strong as Hackenschmidt, and a man who carries one attracts the attention Of the health authorities. Nicotine accumulates in the bowl and stem, and the smoker poisons himself gradually and finally dies in horrible agony. and is buried in the alley with out benefit of clergy.
 Some Scotchman. whose name has not yet been given to the public, com pounded some sort of material that makes the ideal pipe. It looks like

But, in the view of the lover of romance, all such things. though they do provide him with comforts and pleasures, seem wicked at times-because they help civilization to destroy conditions, and therefore characters, which have been both dear and sacred for a century.
 Witness the case of Brennan, cow boy.
 He has just returned to Kansas City from twelve months trip to Europe. and at home has talked for publica- tion.
 Did he talk like a sure-enough cow boy. like the sort whose wild prairie and-cattIe lingo thrills the soul of the lover of romance as he reads it in the good old stores of the good old West ?

SENATOR OLIVER
 AGAINST AGREEMENT.
He Professes SoIicitude for the Farm
 CTS.

Pittsburg, Jan 2S.-Several hundred members of the Young Mems Repub- lcan Tariff club tonight honored the late President Mckinley at the dinner of the organization. Senator George T. Oliver came from Washington es- pecially to speak and startled his hearers when he differed from Presi- dent Taft concerning the Canadian reciprocity policy.
 Mir. Oliver said in part: The pro- tective tariff is the great underlying principle of the republican party. the strongest argument with which we can appeal to the people for continued sup port; but in these latter days. how ever, new generation of professed republicans has arisen whose aim seems to be to afford as little pro- lection as possible for our industries, while still protesting nominal adher- once to the doctrine.

 Alt ObJtCl lS tlNHtf lp Ituutt or wipe out the duties now levied on many Canadian products and in re- turn to obtain like concessions from the Canadian government. which will greatly benefit many of our indus tries
 There is no doubt that the effect of this arrangement would be to stim- ulate trade between the United States and it's neighbors. but considering this proposition we must not lose sight of the fact that Canadian products are mostly affected by the fruits of the south. while the benefits to be derived by our people will largely accrue to the industrial and manufacturing class As result of this our manu- facturers and industrial laborers will profit at the expense of the farmers
 The farming interests have always been one of the great bulwarks ofs the republican party: while I naturally hesitate about antagonizing any i'm portant measure favored by the ad- ministration of Mir Taft, I will have to experience a change of heart before l vote to deprive one class of our in dustry of that protection to which it IS justly entitled under the theories and practices of the republican party. for the benefit of others"

WHY TURNIPS?

To advertise a piece of real estate whiCh is not bargain, but is for safe at what is really a prohibitive figure and then to occupy that same space week inc and week out (and son0- times month in and month out) with the same threadbare, conventional announcement unchanged, is precisely like buying a corner lot in the busi- ness portion of Phoenix and keeping

GYPSY KINGS BAD LUCK.

Petru Lucas, the 6O-year-old gypsy king of westchester Plains, says all his troubles are due to the fact that he parted with a charmed pig that had a straight tail, says the New York Amer ican. Gypsy laws and immigration laws are apt to conflict at times, and Immigration Commissioner Williams and Lucas had aswarm argument be- fore it was determined that the latter should return to Bosnia aboard the steamship Kronprinz Wilhelm, taking with him Militia Nadisch, her son Sto- in, and Stoin's bride e-to-be, Stana Ivan ovich.
 The gypsy has held sway owe, certain vacant American soil and tribe of his brothers for twenty-five years. But he has had to share the delights of a ruler with his wife. Lucas is ambitious, and as his years Increased, his wishes to rule alone became stronger, so much so that last summer he told his wife she would have to leave him, and ac- cordingly. legal separation was Ob- tained. Then the gypsy went back to Bosnia to find a younger wife. He obtained Militia, who is 50 years old, by paying her father $50.
 After the nuptials Petru told his bride it was time to return to his king dom across the ocean. Militza vas will ing but insisted that her 16-year-Old son, Stoin, should accompany them. When all was arranged for Stoin's passage he said he would not go un- less his sweetheart. Stana, was of the party. But Stands father replied: Nothing doing without money"
