THANK YOU

|. While The Statesman put no stress
whatever upon its part in setting IN
foot the entertainment which was CIV
en- to benefit the Harris appeal funds.
yet 1t feels that the WORK done by
many persons for its success should
not go unnoticed. and 1t gladly takes
opportunity to thank them one and
all.
The accusation is 80 often made
that Negroes have no cohesiveness,
that they lack pride of race and self
respect. that many unthinking per-
sons assume that it Is SO because 1t
is charged. The observation which
We have in this Harris case convinces
US that much can be done for the
building up of working race unity
II only proper methods are used.
From different parts OF the state mon
ey contributions are coming in and
persons are volunteering for work, all
imbued with the desire to show their
loyalty to race. The instances OF in
difference or OF fear OF what the
white people may think, are 80 few
as to be negligible.
The entertainment took place on
Thursday of last week, day on
which rain began before the close of
day and continued far up into the
night, yet such was the interest
taken that more than 200 persons
were out and tickets were sold suf.
ficient to make a clear profit OF about
$500. We had hoped to make an
accurate report this week, but returns
come in slowly and irregularly so
that is impossible just yet.
We especially wish to thank for
hot, x< m,
Is. Rector, Daniel Walker, Mesdames
Walker and Dishman, Frank Gaines,
Victor Walker, Oficers W. ]. Baker
and Jesse Smith. These all In some
way contributed to-the successful out
come and we would say much OF them
did not space forbid. When we turn
from them to the ticket sellers, our
list grows and we hnu words made
Quate to thank them all suficiently.
Mrs. Jas. Abernathy and the ladies Of
the Self-ImDrovement Club sold a
grand total of $35 worth of tickets.
Other ticket sellers who deserve
abundant praise are John Watkins,
Daniel Walker. DR.. 8. A. Hun, Hewitt

Club. Bon Ton pool hall, Byron cafe,

There are several others who are to
report and will be mentioned in a
supplementary report. Contributions
have been received from the walters
Int the Stanley hotel at Estes Park ~
noted last week, from Mrs. Clay Of
Fort Collins and from 8. J. johnson.
We have already turned over to DR..
Jones $50 to be applied on the appeal
and will give him a second sum in
next week.

ocracy throughout the country A party that
permits Murphy to be its Boss, party that
permits him to be the Legislature and the
State Government, has no claims upon Nat
ional Convention that honestly pretends to be
Democratic. While Murphy is the State Boss
as well as the City Boss the nomination of
any New York candidate would raise the issue
of Tammany domination and put the party on
the defensive.
More than that, no candidate should be
nominated by New York's influence That
would mean a nomination by Murphy's infu-
ence; for Murphy will undoubtedly control
the delegation unless independent Democrats
awake from their apathy, and the unit rule
will give him power to cast every vote that
New York has In the convention. Even can
dldate from any other state would labor under
heavy burden if he had to carry the load of
Murphy nomination.
We advise Gov Wilson's friends to keep
away from the Tammany Boss. The road to
the Democratic nomination for President does
not run through Fourteenth street.

Japan Might Send Mission
Workers" to the u. S.

1t will soon be against the law of
Japan for children under II years
old to work fifteen or even twelve

eventually it will be against the law
for children Of tender years to be en-

OF cheap lives. Mr.. oshigatsu Kat
ayama, councillor of the department
of agriculture and commerce Of the
imperial Japanese government, who
is now stopping a few days in New
York before going to England and
Germany to study the factory laws of
the old world, explained the new fac
tory law of Japan in his room at the
Hotel Aston
It has been borne in On the imper-
ial ministery, he said, that Japan was
too prodigal Of the lives of it's work.
men, and that under the untrammel-
ed factory system which has been the
outgrowth of recent years of swift
industrial development the whole
physical fiber Of the Japanese people
was threatened with deterioration.
The law, which was passed by par
1iment year ago, was the initial step
toward putting the brake on the rap,
id pace Of manufacturing at the ex-
pense of the workers.
1T is but the beginning" Mr..
Katayama said. Nothing like this
law had ever been enforced in Japan
before, and it is step in the right
direction. It was necessary to pre-
serve the heal. h of the masses of
working people employed in man
ufacuring arts
Mr.. Katayama seemed surprised
that the average American did not
know that until the recent law was
promulgated fifteen and even six
teen hours a day, seven day a week,
was the common limit to labor in
Japanese mills. He admitted that
this was very bad" and that the
necessity for a change was impera-

over objects and bruising himself
quite badly. Feeling no pain at the
time, and being unconscious of injury
until afterWard, it occurred to him
that the safe agency for painless sur
gerry had been found. After consider
ing the matter carefully, on the goth
of March, 1912, he successfully per-
formed the first authenticated oper-
alton without pain to the subject.
This. fact has never been disputed
James M. Venable, a young man
who had inhaled either at ether frol-
ics,' consented to have a tumor re-
moved while under the influence of
the gas. He had postponed the oper-
alton from time to time in dread of
pain, and was glad to try the new
agency of oblivion. He was so amaz-
ed at the success Of the experiment
that upon recovering consciousness he
refused to believe that the tumor had
been removed until Dr. Long showed
it to him. Two months later the same
man had another tumor removed with
equct success

Murphy for the Democratic nomination in

those days he was fond of experiment,

Arkansas on Wheels.

Arkansas on Wheels" consists of
eleven coaches in which there are
100 people. On this train are
samples Of every variety Of wood,
grain, cotton and mineral In Arkan-
sas.
This train is a moving picture of
the marvellous resources of the mar
yelous state that is at the other end
of the Memphis bridge.
The gentlemen behind the move
ment are determined to take Arkan-
sas throughout the country.
Arkansas is probably the most
unique estate in the United States In
the variety of its resources. Wheat
and cotton and rice are grown in Ar
kansas. Wheat Is a north temperate
zone grain, cotton belongs to the
tropics, and rice to the low countries
near the sea. In Arkansas there Is
every variety of timber. In tina,
state coal and many other sorts Of
minerals.
Arkansas claims to have diamond
mine, We may indeed state that Ar
kansas has diamond mine.
Travelling west from Memphis one
would pass through the richest cot
ton country in the world, then one
would pass through the rice country.
a little to the north one would strike
a wheat belt. Further over in Ar
kansas one would pass through TIL,
great forests of timber and in the
west one would find the greatest
orchards in the United States. Ar
kansas is not only big fruit country
but small fruit county.
Every acre Of land in Arkansas is
useful for something. Every acre OF
land in Arkansas will be double Its
present price in ten years.
The cause of education and good
roads is advancing in Arkansas.
Arkansas, like some of the other
Southern states, has suffered from a
pest of politicians, but of late even
the politicians show signs of doing
useful service.
Arkansas is great state, filled
with good people, and If any man
contemplates leaving the city and go
ing to the country, and If any man
desires to go to a growing Western
city he will find many such in Ar
kansas. 80 Memphis Commercial-Ap-

The Bridge Menace

Complaint has been filed by a
reader of The Bulletin, who signs
himself, "Sojourner Truth" against
the condition of the Lake Greek
bridge, near Cache. which Says is a
menace to limb and life of both man
and beast"
According to the complainant. he
counted six worn out planks, four Of
which are in such condition that ?
mule might easily put its hoofs
through. Another of the planks. he
alleges, was spliced on rotten
stringer, with barely an inch bearing
In addition to these faults, the
reader says he found the guards OF
the bridge approach are laid up with
ont mai 'ng and some are gone, it is
his belief the absent boards are being
used to patch the raodbed,
Altogether the structure invited
accident and subsequent litigation
Sojourner Truth writes. "The penny
wise ard pound foolish practice Of
mending one plank at time, is falls
economy. What the bridge needs Is
a new road bed, and it needs thai
bad. Can't you prevail upon the
powers that are to devote some Of
their time to mending the bridges
while they are mending their po-
litical fences?"
The complaint of "Sojourner
Truth" seems to be well founded
and the faults" he was able to find
with the bridge, after only casual
examination should be attended to al
once.
1t is the duty of either the Road
or the County Commissioners to at
tend to the bridges in Alexander
County and none should be permit
ted to become menace, nor should
1t require serious accident to start
the work of improving the structures
The complaint Of "Sojournel
Truth" Is worth while investigating
even though 1t may be without foun
dalton.
