ENFORCING LAWS
Declare Lynchings Have
Greatly Increased In The
Present Administration.

Aroused by the crime wave Of lynch
ing and burning at the stake. which
has resulted in the death OF sixty mem
bers Of the colored race during the last
twelve months. delegates In attendance
at the Washington district conference Of
the A. ". E. Zion Church, at the CAL
braith edifice. Sixth ard l. streets north
west, this afternoon passed resolutions
condemning President Taft for inactiv-
fly.
Holding UP The Roosevelt Administers
tion as the deadly parallel. the divines
pointed out that he insisted on such @
rigid enforcement Of the laws that dur
ing the last year Of his Administration
hat thirteen colored persons lost their
lives st the hands OF mobs.
There have been twenty-five more
colored persons lynched or burned dur
ing the last year than during any other
one year in the last eight" said DR..
8. L. Corrothers, pastor Of the Gal
braith A. NJ. e. Zion Church, In dis
cussing the resolutions. I'VE propose
that soon after the first Of November
500 members Of our race shall go to
President Taft and demand that he
take some action similar to that taken
by President Roosevelt, who sent a
special message to Congress. We IN
tend to take this to Congress. The
members of this large committee will
come from all parts OF the United
States.
'fThe committeeman from the South
will explain how the laws there are
oyerridden, and special stress will be
laid upon the lynching in Florida which
resulted in the murder Of seven colored
persons because one Of the number
was accused OF shooting a constable.
Eve feel that President Taft has
not interested himself in this lawless-
ness as he should. In many cases but
little effort has been made to locate
the guilty persons"

ter of fact, the price of agricultural
implements in America is cheaper, at
shown by q report Of the Bureau OF
Trade Relations of the State Depart
ment, to the American farmers than
to any farmers in the world.
England is the one country that
exports agricultural implements to
any great extent. and so successful
Is the competition against her in this
country of American agricultural
implements that practically very few
have come in from England. The
be made to include $50 different arti-
cles used on the farm, but used in
other vocations also. And these ar
ticles-the hammers, the tools, the
cutlery, and the machinery OF various
kinds-are now dutiable under the
metal schedule. To admit them under
this clause would be to destroy en-
tirely the symmetry of the metal
schedule and produce such a confus-
ion as seriously to interfere with the
administration Of the tariff act.
The Wire Clauses.
Another clause provides for the ad-
mission Of barbed-wire fencing free.
and then all wire and other material
which could be used for fencing, and
includes wire rods and wire rope. To
let in barbed-wire fencing alone
would be unimportant to producers.
but the framing of the amending
clause is such that II 1t were to go
into law IL would have a serious ef-
feet upon the metal schedule and
would utterly destroy the principle
which was followed in its framing
and would make free of duty some OF
the most highly wrought articles un-
der the metal schedule not used by
farmers at all.
"Thcn there is a clause admitting
jute and cotton bagging free, and ms,
terials from which made. which would
allow common cotton cloth, to come
in free for any purpose, although uu-
der the cotton schedule. even as pro-
posed to be amended by this Con-
gress, cotton cloth is to pay a certain
amount of duty. The bill also puts
boots and shoes on the free list and
continued the tax on raw materials.
"Finally, the free list has two
clauses affecting meat and hour. AS
they went through the House they
put meat on the free list and -four on
the free list. In the Senate, however,
an amendment was put on limit
ing :he operation of these two clauses
to imports from those countries with
which we have a reciprocal relation

Doing Things
By Clear Thinking
Ef SAVE NINE
HT With a Stitch in Time.

To know of and use food that will
feed and restore brain and nerves before
slight nervous troubles end in complete
nervous prostration or brain-fag is wise,
for unless proper food is supplied daily
1t Is unreasonable to expect the nervous
system to answer the demands made
upon IT.
There is a food. Grape-Nuts. for the
particular purpose of restoring weaken
ed nerves or tagged brain to health and
strength.
A business man, of Baltimore, who
made the trial, says:
Two years ago my health had be-
come so seriously impaired It was i'm
possible for me to attend to business.
At the least exertion my nerves would
give way and the condition of my sys-
TEN allowed me little or no rest or sleep
at night. Stomach trouble soon followed
and I could take no solid food tried
the best tonics and medicines, but they
all failed.
Finally Grape-Nuts food was recon-
mended and after using 1t for 10 days
1 began to feel its good results and at
the end of three months I was again a
well man-nerves restored to their nor
NAL condition, strength renewed. and I
was able to do any amount Of both
mental and physical work without feel
ing unduly fatigued.
II know Grape-Nuts built up my brain
and nerves and still keep them strong
and vigorous just exactly as food builds
up muscles or fat, for instance, and
am glad to have learned this valuable
lesson" Name given by Postum Co..
Battle Creek. Mich.
Trial 10 days proves things when
Grape-Nuts food is used. There's a
Reason"
Look in pkgs. for the famous little
book, THE Road to Wellville."

He PUNISHED GRANT.
The Cadet Was Guilty Of Dismountins
Without Leave.

Without Leave.
While student at West Point U. 8.
Grant eXccllel in mathematics and
Craftsmanship. He jumped his horse
over a bar five feet six inches high,
which made record for the academy
and close second to the highest jump
ever recorded in America. He receiv-
ed little honor for some of his efforts,
however, notably in the case recalled
by Nicholas Smith in Grant, the Man
Of Mystery" But perhaps the humor
of it reconciled him.
The riding master was one Hersh-
berger, IAN amusing sort of tyrant,"
and on one occasion, whether seriously
or as a Joke. he determined to take
down. the young cadet.
At the exercise Grant was mounted
on a powerful but vicious brute that
the cadets fought shy Of and was put
at leaping the bar.
The bar was placed higher and high.
er as he came round the ring till It
passed the record. The stubborn rider
would not say enough" but the horse
was disposed to shy and refuse to
make the leap.
Grant gritted his teeth and spurred
at it, but just as the horse gathered for
the spring his swelling body burst the
girth, and the rider and saddle tumbled
into the ring
= Half stunned, Grant gathered him
self up from the dust only to hear the
''strident, cynical voice" Of Hershber-
ger calling out:
"Cadet Grant, six dement's for dis.
mounting without leave!'

FREAKS OF. A RIVER.
A strsam So crooissd That It ooubls
Crosses. itssH.

There is a stream in Massachusetts
called the North river. It starts In a
pond near Hanson and runs to the sen
at Scituate. 1t is ten miles by air line
from Hanson to Scituate, and the river
is forty miles long.
This river is probably the most re-
markable body Of water, barring the
Dead sea, on this footstool and has
stood more abuse and bad language
than the Chicago river. When the tide
Is coming in the river runs upstream,
and not only that, but the upper part
of 1t, which is fresh water, also runs
up, and the spectacle Of fresh water
river beating it uphill is alone enough
to call attention to itself. But there Is
much more to it than that.
The North river IL noted for being
the scene of the last Indian raid on the
coast settlements. . 1t is notable for
having given birth to the ship Column
bia, whose captain discovered and
named the Columbia river, and was
the first American vessel to circum-
navigate the world. 1t Is notorious for
having suddenly changed its mind on
its course on the night of Nov. q, 1898,
when it moved its mouth three miles to
the northward, presented the town OF
Marshtield with a deep harbor. killed
three men and converted about 2O.OOO
acres of prime meadow land into salt
marsh. :
But the chief thing about this river
Is its crookedness. This river Is so
crooked that it double crosses Itself.

There is one place in Hanover where
by making three loops the river moves
toward the sea for distance OF al
most fifty feet and meanders about
