we have at home. They tell the

there, we ran across some stranger

made it's appearance in any state.
All visiting colored men, who come
this way from the states that vote,
agree that the President Will have
the solid support Of the Negro re-
publicanS. They regard Mr.. Taft as
safe and sane, thoroughly honest on
rall questions affecting the nation or
our race, and are willing to entrust
the destinies Of, the republic to his
hands for another four Years. 'Fhe
retention Of many faithful public SER
wants, the installation of worthy
men in new places and his unhesl-
tating approval of all of the meas
ures pending in Congress, having for.
their object the heartening of the
Negro people, have opened the eyes
Of the doubters to the true charac.
ter of President Taft, and those at
first inclined to oppose him have
now become his most ardent sup
porters. President Taft is running
his own administration. He is dis.
appointing only those who have
tried to use him to further some
selfish end. William Howard Taft
is a statesman and patriot-every
inch of him. The colored voters
will stand by him in 1912.

STEAMER "RIVER

QUEEN" BURNS.
The steamer "River Queen" the
only excursion boat at the disposal
Of colored patrons on the Potomac
this summer, was burned to the wa
ter's edge late Saturday night. The
fire was caused by the explosion of
Il signal light at the stern Of the
vessel The steamer being old and
dry, burned like finder box, and
was too far gone when the fire was
discovered to be saved, although the
crew and the city firemen made a
game fight. The loss is estimated
to be fully $4,000, with no insur-
2nce. The boat was the property Of
the syndicate that operates Wash
ington Park, river resort for col
ored people, and was under lease to
cOlOred amusement company,
headed by Lewis Jefferson. A prof
table business had been carried on
by the Jefferson company for several
seasons. An effort will be made at
once to seclhe another boat, as
scores Of existing charters must be
honored in some way.
The River Queen, rated to carry
100 passengers, was dSDatch
boat Of President Lincoln during the
civil war, and for nearly fifty years
vas used as an excursion boat for
white people from Washington to
