STRAWS TELL WHICH WAY THE
WIND BLOWS.

A Nebraska exchange is bewailing
the fact that it has remained for this
year to bring forth in the state legis-
lature the first lin crow law that
the state has ever known. 1t is sig
nificant that the state legislature is
Democratic. The small Negro popu-
lation of Nebraska, even being small
er than that of Colorado, shows clear
ly the nonsense of such a regulation,
even if it was an accepted fact that
such regulation is needed in southern
states. Somehow the mere fact that
the Republican party is responsible
for the freedom of the slaves and the
constitutional amendments giving
them their rights as citizens, seems
10 operate to prevent members 81 that
party from showing the evidences of
race hatred as freely as do Demo-
Gratis. We do not feel that it is fair
to classify our friends and enemies
strictly according to party lines, but
it is fact that Republican feels
the weight of responsibility for the
improvement of the Negro and Dem
ocrat does not. Individual exceptions
to this rule are common, but the rule
holds in the main.

THE NEGRO'S "FARTHEREST
NORTH

President Taft has gone far to
make the people of the United States
know that he is a man Of his word
by his nomination of Attorney Wm.
H. Lewis of Boston to be assistant at
torney general of the department of
Justice. This is the highest place in
that department ever given a Negro.
The first intimation of such a nomina-
ton came last fall just before cleo
ton and was then called shallow
political trick to influence Negro
votes. In fairness those who found
fault then should make handsome
retraction now. We nope that Mr.
Lewis will be confirmed by the senate
without opposition.

THE PUBLIC's DUTY
Continued from page one

1t is inevitable that men who took
the same position had their honesty
impeached because Of the association.
TO our mind it seems best both for
the regular supporters OF Republican
ism and for those who oppose it with
honest motives, to slough off the har-
pies who crowd up to the pie counter.
They desecrate whatever they touch.
Their double dealing stands in the
way of progress.
Their unfitness to plead the cause
of the race is made evident by their
unwillingness TO report back to the
people when they fail. Tney know
full well that If they did that, they
themselves would be denounced for
their presumption. They are under

Less Criticism and
More Work

One shoulder to the wheel OF the
chariot of progress is worth dozen
critics standing on the side of the
road telling why it does not move. IN
much this spirit the best Negro news
Dapers have viewed the remarks OF
Senator Borah of Idaho, who cham
Dioned the cause of direct election OF
United States senators, even at the
price of placing these elections under
state supervision. The occasion OF
BOrah's speech was the statement OF
Senator Root that some day the best
minded people might find that ma
tional supervision of the election of
senators would be their best weapon
for forcing just treatment of the Ne
gro in the South.
Root spoke like a statesman. Borah
played to the galleries. The measure
of the man is his ability to look
ahead, not the cowardly obesience
which he pays to present day opinion.
borah played small mans part and
time will prove the fallacy of the doc
trine he espouses. The Negro is
down, it is true he is being used; he
needs to know his shortcomings; he
is lynched and mistreated in the
North as he is in the South. So much
that you have said we agree with,
Senator Borah! But now that you
have shed your wisdom on this sub
ject, why not do the mans part and
undertake to do something to make
conditions better? Are you satisfied
with them? If so, why not have the
courage of your convictions and say
so? 1t lacks only that to put you in
perfect harmony with Tillman. If
you are not in agreement with them,
why have you not the courage to do
Is did Root-hold out hope Of i'm
provement some day through definite
means? From this day on every pub
lie act of yours will be open to the
suspicion that you are a time server.
We are ashamed of the Negro press
that has praised him. -..e Hindoo as
cetic who lashes his back till it
bleeds, in the name of religion, cruci-
flying the flesh to exalt the spirit, is
buoyed up by the hope of glorious
immortality. His rags and degrada-
tion he believes will bring him the
brighter lot in the other world. On
the other hand, not Negro is so
foolish as to believe that the display
of his weaknesses and shortcomings
leads anywhere. No white man, how
ever wise, can tell us of the lowly po-
sition we occupy better than we know
it through our daily contact with our
neighbors.
A certain class of Negroes make a
bid for leadership with no other quail
ification than their ability to show
up our moral sores, our mental de-
ficiencies and our inferiority in gen
eral. Their bleating attracts atten-
ton just as the whine of beggar
catches the ear of sympathy We
give no thanks to Borah for calling
attention to our shortcomings; we
pity our own men who, in an endeav-
or to know thyself," have misnnder-
stood that to mean that they should
tell everybody else. We would prize

IMMIGRATION WORK.

The biennial report Of Commissioner
! of Agriculture and Labor Gilbreath
shows much good work has been done
in securing new settlers for North Da-
keta. Several methods have been used.
The one getting the most direct results
was displays at expositions and at
state and county fairs in the territory
from which settlers are sought.
Great good has been done through
the historical and descriptive articles
in The North Dakota Magazine. The
state and county maps, the year book
and other publications of the office Of
commissioner Of agriculture and labor
have been helpful
Many of the results have been direct.
Others are necessarily like casting
bread on the waters. The known
benefits, however, have demonstrated
the wisdom and advantage Of the meth
DDS used and the successful purposes
b which the appropriation was put.
Commissioner Gilbreath's report
shows in detail all expenditures-and
every cent is accounted for.

SAYS QUlNINE WILL
NOT BREAK A COLD
How to Cure the Most Severe Cold and
End All Grippe Misery in just
Few Hours.

You will distinctly feel your cold
breaking and all the Grippe symptoms
leaving after taking the very nrst
dose
1t is a positive fact that Pape's Cold
Compound. taken every two hours, un-
I'll three consecutive doses are taken
will end the Grippe and break up the
most severe cold. either in the head,
chest. back, stomach or limbs.
1t promptly relieves the most mis-
cradle neuralgia pains, headache, dull
ness, head and nose stuffed UP. fever
ishness, sneezing. sore throat running
of the nose, mucous catarrhal dis
charges, soreness, stiffness and rheu-
matte twinges.
Pape's Cold Compound Is the result
OF three years research at a cost OF
more than fifty thousand dollars and
contains no quinine, which we have
concIusively demonstrated is not Eff
fective in the treatment Of colds or
grippe.
Take this harmless compound as
directed, with the knowledge that
there is no other medicine, made any
where else in the world, which will
cure your cold or end grippe misery as
promptly and without any other as
sistance or bad after effects as a rs
cent package OF Pape's Cold Com
pound, which any druggist in the
world can supply.

Washington, March 4.-The last bull
letin gave forecasts of disturbance to
cross the continent March 5 to 9, warm
wave March 4 to s, cool wave March
to II. This disturbance will con-
tinue the cold. stormy weather that
began near the Washington holiday
and which will continue cold and
stormy till after the cold wave due on
meridian so March 10 shall have pass
ed. The sunspot period win continue
to March 10. Venus, Mars, Mercury
and Jupiter are all in magnetic con-
tact with the earth and the moon, act
ing as a go-between, aiding in forming
the electric equilibrium between earth
and planets. The sunspots do not
cause our weather changes, but are
caused by the same kind Of magnetic
disturbances that bring our earth
storms.
Next disturbance will reach the Pa
cific coast about March 10, cross the
Pacific slope by the close of March IL,
the great central valleys March IL to
IA, eastern sections March 15 Warm
wave will cross the Pacific slope about
March 10. great central valleys March
~, eastern sections March IA. Cool
wave will cross the Pacific slope about
March 10, great central valleys March
10, eastern sections March II.
This disturbance will pull us out of
weather condition dominated by cold
winter storms and bring to US that
condition which is more favorable to
the growth Of vegetation and more
agreeable to man and beast. A great
rise in temperatures will occur The
storms will be of greater force, but
rains will not be heavy till little
later.
indications are that rains of March
will be excessively heavy from the
New England states to Kansas and
Nebraska along and $50 miles north
and south of latitude 3S. This condi-
tion shows up exceedingly strong on
my weather map for March and / am
expecting excessive rains resulting in
floods in the section of country men,
toned, which is about 1900 miles east
andwest and 500 miles north and
south, covering three fourths of mil
| lion square miles. The probable loca-
ton of these excessive rains seems to
be such as will cause floods in the
Ohio, upper Mississippi and the Mis-
souri, rivers during the ten days GEN.
! tering on March L.
No one can be much harmed by pre-
pairing for these excessive rains and
probabilities are that much may bt

CRY OF THE NEGRO.

Most intelligent negro citizens real
lie the wisdom of Booker T. Wash
ington's oft-repeated advice to accept
conditions as they are-and try to bet
ter them without whining about their
hardships. The lot of the colored Amer
icsn is a hard one at best. There is
nothing to be gained by complaining
over conditions and prejudices that
cannot be altered or eradicated in a
single generation. There are obsta-
cles in the path of the Afro American
even the most intelligent and aspir-
ing-of which the meanest white man
can hardly form an adequate concep-
ton. The only thing the negro can do
is to make the best of hard conditions
and do his utmost-by his individual
achievements---to make the handicap oil
his color forgotten.
