old glass bottles may be covere

designs of fruit or flowers, When the
pulp dries it takes on an attractive
bronzy color without treatment of any

Regardless of how one may feel
toward Senator Lorimer and his right
to hold a seat in the United States Sen
ate, the words with which Senator
Bailey of Texas closed an address IN
advocacy Of that right are to be com
mended:
If our public life, in every public
assembly, is fostering with corruption,
/ have no further interest in this or
any other controversy. To make me
believe that, would be as if l saw the
hand of fate unbarring the gates Of
pandemonium and turning loose on oar
devoted land the shames and crimes
and miseries of hell!
But, Mr. President, do not believe
it, | will say that | can still believe
in the honor and the patriotism of our
men, in the virtue and in the purity of
our women. That is my philosophy.
Glance backward twenty years, and
you will see that Bailey, young mill
tant scholar from Texas, was attempt
ing the part of national uplifter. In
all except the stupidity and insincerity
he was the Jeff Davis Of that day He
would not have approved of language
like that he now uses then.
His example is the same of practical
ly every honest man of the type, De-
ceived by the blatently suspicious, they
enter public life expecting to clean out
the Augean stables. They hope to ex-
pell the money changers, but expert
ence teaches them that the vast ma
jority Of public men are as honest as
they can be, and IS a rule, those most
severely accused, possess the virtue IL
the state nearest perfection
The reformers and muckrakers may
say what they please, but the stand
ards of public life are rising and have
been rising for the past fifty years.

Senator Bailey's perioration was
rather rhetorical, perhaps extravaganc,
but his position in respect to the point
of his eloquence is essentially sound.

y SEGREGATING THE RACES IN y
y THE CITIES. y


Three Southern cities are now at
work on plans looking to the segrega-
ton of the races. These plans con-
template the establishment of a color
line in the residential sections, making
it illegal for any negro 10 move into or
take up a residence in any block where
a maIo itv of the residents are white,
and making the same terms apply, on
the other hand, to whites moving into
negro settlements.
The three cities now at work on this
plan are Baltimore, Birmingham, and
Richmond, Baltimore, passed on ordi-
nance on the subject, but the court
held it to be invalid. The Baltimore
counciImen. however, believe that the
decision of the court has made PLAIN
the way for an ordinance that will
stand and they will proceed at once
to put it through.
In Birmingham the bill providing for
/ segregation of the races has been ap-
proved by City Attorney Romano. The
/ bill provides that a negro shall be
guilty Of a misdemeanor and punished
/ by a fine not exceeding 800 and i'm
prisonment of six months, one or both,
/ if he shall hereafter move into or take
up his residence in premises not now
occupied by persons of the negro race,
in any block in which the majority OF
persons then therein residing are OF
the white race, such residence being
within 400 feet Of tn eresidence of anE
white persons providing, however, that
domestic servants residing on the
premises of their employers shall be
excepted from the provisions Of the or
dinance. 1t also provides the same
punishment for any white person who
shall move within 400 feet of a negro
residence.
The city of Richmond is to enact Z
color-line residential ordinance, which
will be as rigid as the Baltimore ordi.
nance. The demand for the law is due
to the advance of negroes into wha
has for years been the center of the
residential section for the whites The
result of this has been to reduce the
value Of the property to less than hall
its former value, causing losses to the
owners. The ordinance will prohibi
any white person from occupying any
house on any block where the majorit.
of the residents are colored people, anC
/ likewise the colored population is pro
hibited from moving into any prem

I'm not saying I'd be so unwilling to

My once super-abundance Of curly
brown hair,
But the fact still remains
That my increase of brains,
Makes the shine on my scalp very
easy to bear.

Keep quite equal in growth,
So his wisdom profound meath my

i would do foolish things all the time,
when the top
OF my head had the look of a glOrified
mop,
But they'd none Of them beat
My colossal conceit,
And my speech was a mixture OF bIus-

But consider me now
With my all-Over brow,
Don't you see how I'm chastened and
ripened and steadied.
Why, of course, I'm baldheaded
Keep the fuzz on your pate just as
long as you can,
But don't waste your fine wit on the
bald-headed man;
Don't imagine it sings,
He Just smiles at your filings,
He belongs to the class that is right IN

And he's blameless, beside,
For the Lord knows he's tried
To avert the top gloss he once fool
ishly dreaded,
Now he's glad he's bald-headed.

CHICAGO, Sept 25.-Chicago gained a
few points today in the pennant race
by defeating Boston, to 5. The deciding
run was the result of Boston's lone
error, a stolen base and a single. The
rest OF the runs made by the locals were
the outcome of two bases on balls, a
sacrifice and punched hits. Richie
started to pitch for Chicago, but his
wildness, with two punched hits, resulted
in two runs, one of which was forced
home. Cole succeeded Richie and three
singles and wild pitch gave the visitors
two more runs. Another single and a
base on balls resulted in Brown being
called upon to pitch. A sacrifice off
Brown gave Boston another run.
The game was featured by sensational
fielding by Sweeney, Doyle and Miller

the west side grounds and was given a

of wet grounds. Score:
