THE LEWIS APPOINTMENT.

Some days previous to the election
a notice was sent out from the White
House to the effect that within rea-
sonable time Honorable William H.
Lewis would be appointed to the posi-
ton of Assistant Attorney General of
the United States. The Ade has no
doubt that Mr.. Taft means to keep his
word in regard to the appointment.
We say this Notwithstanding the con-
Trajectory reports sent out from
Washington. Mr.. Taft is not a man
to play politics in such matter and
we believe that those who have been
expressing doubts as to his sincerity
in the appointment of Mr.. Lewis will
find themselves greatly mistaken. For
our part, we are goang to trust the
President.-Net0 York Age.

The statement is often heard, be-
cause of some enterprise that is not
conducted legitimately, and because
the people find it out, THAT hurts
the whole race" How true this is we
all know. Each member OF our race
is responsible for the conditions that
exist. therein. Any man knowingly
receiving anything that is stolen, the
law says that he is an accomplice to
the act. Any man allowing q bad
condition to exist in his community
and knowing that such exists, is, in
nearly every case, in sympathy with
same, and as bad as the offender. The
members of our race have got to quit
closing their eyes to the things that
exist among some of our people that
are hindering our progress. If you
who are leaders of the people are not
acquainted with the questions and en-
terprises relating to and conducted by
our people, you are simply in the
way. If you do know these things and
allow anything to exist that is a bad
example to the coming ngeneratio,
you are the same as the one or the
ones who sympathizes with the Grim
inal We should not cover up any
wrong doing, regardless of what it is,
and as there is only one way to do
anything, and that being the right
way, we should see that it is done
this way, and then our people will
cease to be branded with the sIurs
from the race, as frauds and posses
sors of dishonest means. Do your
part and you will succeed.-The East
Tennessee Nel0S.

In a sketch about Joseph Fels, the
English multimillionaire, who makes
soap and naphtha and other things,
Lincoln Steffens, writing in the Amer
lean Magazine, relates the following
anecdote concerning him: "Once.
when Fels had been stating his propo-
sition at length listener, who was
impressed by the genial humor, the
profound kindness and the serene
wisdom Of this little Jew, turned to
him quietly and said. 'Fels, the Jews
call themselves the chosen people;
the world has acknowledged the title.
and I. for example, am willing now. in
your presence, to admit that they are
indeed the chosen. But what are they
chosen for2' The Jews said Fels,
with careless wave Of his arm. The
Jews were chosen to introduce Chris
hanity.'"

She walks in beauty like the night.
As some romantic singer said; her
eyes give forth starry light, her lips
are of a cherry red; across the floor
she seems to float; she seems to me
beyond compare being perfect-till
l note the way she has done up her
hair. She must have toiled through
half a day to build that large, un-
wieldy mass; she must have used a
bale of hay, and strips of tin, and wire
of brass; her sisters must have helped
to braid, her mother wrought and tin
kered there, and butler, cook and
chambermaid all helped to wrestle
with her hair. And after all the
grinding toll, and all the braiding and
the fuss, the one effect is just to spoil
her beauty and make other people
cuss. She walks in beauty like the
night where nights are most serenely
fair; but, Julius Caesar! she's a sight,
when she's got on her Sunday hair!

refused to represent Emperor Francis Joseph at the coronation unless his wife accompanied him, and he demanded that henberg should be raised so as to put her upon level with himself.
 This the Emperor felt that he could not agree to without doing injustice to the women members of the imperial family Therefore he refused, once for always. to any further raise in the Duchess's rank.
 Thereupon the nephew refused to repre- sent the Emperor in London, although it is extremely distasteful to himself and his wife that a prominent part in the coronation ceremonies should be taken by Archduke Charles Francis Joseph, the eldest son of Archduke Francis Ferdi- nands dead brother, Archduke Otto. and the next in line of succession to the heir presumptive

 The relations between Creeks and Turks all along the frontier are strained as they have not been since 1897, and if Turkey is looking for quarrel with it's neighbor here are conditions which it may make use of at any time.
 There have been frequent frontier hghts and 1t Is not believed an outbreak can very long be postponed.

Some queer charges are brought from time to time in the police courts in con- necton with game and fish preservation, but that brought against collier at Cockermouth seems to be unique. The man was charged with disturbing sal mon on their spawning beds by walk ing up and down the river banks. It was stated in evidence that the fish were so numerous that some of them had been driven right into the side to spawn. and that they ceased if anybody stood on the bank and looked at them.

HAS NARROWING EXPERIENCE
AT THE PORCUPINE FIRE

A. f. Eekstein. who is here repre-
senting the Polk directory concern,
passed through an exciting experience
last summer in Canada, when he was
up in. the Porcupine country. He was
at the Canadian mining camp during
the big fire that ragged there in which
hundreds of lives were lost and an
enormous property loss sustained. Mr..
Eckstein states he was one of the
many hundreds of people who were
driven into the lake by the onrush of
fire, the woods being all ablaze and
the flames spread so rapidly that
the water was the only place of
refuge. Some GOO people took refuge
in the lake, but only about half htat
number came out alive.
In the water were all kinds of do
nestle and wild animals, and even
bears could be seen swimming among
the frantic people that were surround
ed by wall of fire. In the lake,or what
might be termed great caldron, Mr..
Eckstein says he remained for six
hours with the heat so intense that
human flesh was blistered. 1t was
with difficulty one could breathe.
Some of those who emerged from
the Lakeland couple of hundred
never came out at all--were so badly
burned that they have been under
medical care ever since. 1t was an
experience never TO be forgotten.

COURT DECLINES TO GRANT
TEMPORARY INJUNCTION

At the conclusion Thursday of the
arguments in the Pacific coast eases
the commerce court declined to grant
a temporary injunction in the Salt
Lake case at the request of the trans
continental carriers.
The interstate commerce commits
sion issued an order requiring the
transeontinental railways to adjust
their rates to Utah and Nevada points
so as to avoid discrimination in facor
of Pacific coast terminals to become
effective November 10.
These decisions by the commission
involving the construction of the long
and short haul provision of the inter
state commerce act were reserved for
decision, but the Salt Lake case, in
which the railways had been asked
for an injunction restraining the com
mission from putting into effect its or
der, was decided by the court adverse
ly to the railways.
The other eases, including the long
pending Spokane rate case, in which
the railroads have asked for an in
junction to prevent the commission
from enforcing its orders, probably
will be decided in few days.

BOYS TRIM THEIR
DADS, 70 TO 5

The boys of the Winnemucca school
baseball team beat their "dads' this
afternoon TO the tune of 90 to 5, and
thereby got sweet revenge for the de-
feat handed out to them by the latter
several weeks ago. The line up of the
boys team was the same as in the
first game, but on the ''dads' team
were new faces, among them Harry
Dunn, who played first base, William
Diehl at short, O.. Tucker in the left
and w. J. Bradley in right field.
Up to the seventh inning the
" dadso seemed to have some chance,
for while the boys had fair lead, it
was anybody's game then. But in
their half of the eighth the boys made
six runs and in the ninth hammered in
another three runs, bringing their to-
tai up to 20. In neither of these in
nings were the "dads' able to get a
man across the plate, Tucker pitching
such good ball that they were out in
one, two, three order, the boys playing
rings around the men.
As each team has now won a game
it has been suggested that a deciding
game to be played next Saturday after
noon.
