If You Own Cows

1t will not only be interesting but it
will be profitable for you to read that
little national dairy magazine, Kim
balls Dairy Farmer. It is published
semi-monthly at Waterloo, Iowa, the
hub of the great dairy region of the
central west. 1t is ably edited, well
printed on good book paper and hand
somely illustrated by actual photo
graphs taken exclusively for it. Its
purpose is educational and to the man
who would make his COWS yield larger
profits, this little magazine is indis-
pensable. Regardless of how many
other papers the farmer may take, this
one is worth many times its price to
him. The subscription price is only
30 cents year, and the paper will
positively be discontinued at e1pira
ton. Send for sample copy.

Taft A Money Maker.

Mr.. Wickersham and his pro-
fessional assistants "know no
hours, they have toiled early and
late," he says; they have been
carrying on a relentless campaign
of trust prosecution, by no means
barren of results; and what ap-
peals to the thrifty Yankee spirit,
they have actually made the De-
partment of Justice a source of
revenue to the government.
These facts. with others, the At
torney-General lays before Con-
gress in his annual report and a.
waits the verdict of a candid
press. On one point their decis-
ion will not disappoint him. The
total expenses of his department
for the fiscal year amounted, it
seems, to So, ,22S, 773, while there
was paid into the United States
Treasury the sum of 4,2O4, lis
in the shape of fines, custom du.
ties, recoveries, and the like. No
one finds any fault with such a
showing as this. It is we'll that
the government should reap "the
profits of trust-busting" to the
extent of a cool million in the
space of one year, thinks the
Baltimore News (Ind.). Here
"the trusts have been made to
pay all the expenses Of their own
prosecution, all the salaries and
office expenses of the law de.
partment, and provide a nest-egg
sufficient to keep things hot for
them for some time to come"
And the News adds:
This was the result of eight
civil suits and eight criminal
suits. This country boasts some-
thing like 700 trusts. 1t is obvi-
Gus, therefore, that the Sherman
law may we'll be allowed to stand

story of Jack johnson has been

Although many of the daily
newspapers delighted in quoting
the champion in dis and dat and
tried to be funny in a silly story
about the cuspidors, yet they
found Mr.. johnson the most pop

THE TEXAS VICTORY.

Hon. VIM. Mcdonald, familiar
ly known as "Goose Neck Bill"
must be congratulated on the fight
he put up to free the Negro voters
of Texas from the domination of
lillywhiteism. 1t a great victory
for the Negroes of the Lone Star
State. 1t was thought strange by
some that leader of Mr.. McDon-
AIDS calibre would be fighting for
the Taft faction, but to get rid of
Lyons yoke it was necessary to op-
pose Roosevelt.
AS the Negro did in Texas so
they are doing everywhere. 1t is
that independence asserting itself
in the Negro that is destined to
make all political parties look up
on him as a man. He is learning
tn look first to his own welfare and
then to the welfare of some party.

NATIONAL INDEPENDENT
POLITICAL LEAGUE
SPLITS

Philadelphia, July 6. 1912.-The
convention of the National Inde-
pendent Political League, which
is composed of Colored men, broke
up yesterday afternoon with the
withdrawal of nearly all the officers
when a majority of the delegates
voted down a motion to disband
on the ground that the organiza-
ton, by supporting Colonel Roose-
welt, had reversed its original pur-
poses.
1t was proposed by motion to
condemn Colonel Roosevelt for
Brownsville discharge, but when
the majority rejected this six of
the officers, with a few followers,
left the Zion Baptist church, Thir-
teenth and Wallace streets, and
held a meeting at 1884 Melon ST.,
and there decided to call a new
convention composed of those adj
herents who are willing to stand
by the the original principales of
the league, to oppose both Roose-
velt and Taft.
After the break the majority at
tempted to persuade the officers
and their followers to remain, but
they left the convention after
charging openly on the floor that
the convention was dominated by
men who tried to induce Colored
delegates to break their pledges
and vote for Roosevelt at Chicago.
The officers who left the conven-
ton were Rev. James Milton Wal
dron, of Washington, first presi-
dent, reelected national organizer;
w. Monroe Trotter, of Boston, re-
elected corresponding secretary
and editor of the leagues organ,
the "Guardian"; William d. John
son, of Winchester, Mass, a found
er, elected second vice president;
Rev. Byron Gunner of New York,

ident; Emery T. Morris, of Cam

delegates and minor officers.

ton were especially bitter, and

was heard before Justice Page, in
the special term of Part 2 of the
Supreme Court, resulted in a YER

tiff alleged that the mother of the,
defendant, who is now dead, as the
executrix of the estate of the plain
tiff's father, the late James J. Cav
anaugh, had diverted $4,000,
which was used to purchase real
estate for the defendant. Miss

sale be given to her for the settle

The Beautiful Interior.
Those familiar with old Palace
marveled at the wonderful trans
formation. On the main floor the
stage that occupied the south end
han been removed and the whole
converted into as pretty room as
can be found in Chicago. The
delicately tinted walls and ceiling,
the brilliant chandeliers and the
exceptionally fine equipment of
the room pleased the most fastid-
ious. But the real beauty of this
room is the large Gil paintings that
adorn the walls. They are all life
size. There is one of the cham
pion embracing his mother, one
alone in ring costume, and another
of himself and wife. This latter
picture was taken in the winter
time and shows Mr.. johnson and
his wife in their magnificent furs.
In additi On there is another large
painting taking up half section
of the room which is said to have
cost SIS, 900. In a smaller, frame
is picture of his lamented father.

The cafe takes up the entire
second floor, here as below every
thing is upon the most elaborate
scale. The decorations are princi-

There is the same profuse decora-
tons in oil paintings. Here the
Cafe de Champion expects to ex-
Gel the famous establishments
throughout the world in the
serving of the choice and rare
viands. In the bay window stood
two large flower horseshoes, one
from the Falstaff Brewing COM

than Mrs. Tiny johnson, the cham

of the building, it is understood,
has been fitted up for the exclus-

wife.
Mr.. Henry G. Starrett is the
manager, and Mr.. VIM. Marshall
is the assistant manager. These
two gentlemen are life long friends
of Mr.. johnson and through them
he expects to give the public the
best of service. Behind the bar

and smiling as the head bartender.

JACK JOHN
SONS CAFE

Mr.. Jack johnson, champion
heavy weight pugilist of the world,
opened the Cafe de Champion (for-
merly the Old Palace, Al West
31st street Wednesday night.
Fresh from his victory at Las Ve-
gas and with the memory of Reno
no doubt still in his mind, the
champion, however, experienced
one of the happiest moments in
his life when he viewed a solid
mass of his friends that filled 35th
street from State street to Armour
avenue awaiting view of his
place. This was at 9 p. m. Many
of~them had stood there since noon
while an army of workmen worked
like demons to get the establish
ment in semblance for the time
of opening which was announced
for 9 o'clock.
Crowd Jams Street
The crowds that had fingered
all day watching the final prepara-
tions became so dense after dark
that street car traffic was hampered
and the police detail kept busy in
keeping sidewalks open; but the
crowd was jovial one, There
was no disorder; all they wanted
was to see their peerless hero and
get a glimpse of his cafe that had
been made unduly prominent by a
lot of sensational stories in the
daily newspapers.
Numerous street venders para
ed their novelties in and out of the
crowd. The most popular of these
novelties was a miniature frying
pan with piece of bacon in it
typifying that wonderful telegram
that encouraged the now unde-
featable Mr.. johnson when his
mother wired, "be sure and bring
home the bacon"
Champion Opens Festivities
It was shortly after nine O'Clock
when the champion, accompanied
bv his mother, arrived in one of
his famous racing machines. His
coming brought forth the mighty
cheer and it took the united
strength of two policemen to get
the champion to the door OF his
place. Inside there was an air OF
expectancy that was only satisfied
with his appearance. The word
was at once given and the Cafe de
Champion was opened. Contrary
to all expectations Mr.. johnson
had nothing to say, but contented
himself in listening to an elaborate
program of music and song and
viewing the vast crowd that filed
every available place as soon as
the door was opened.
