Col. Roosevelt said that the North
ern Negro delegates were sent to this
convention because they had won the
respect of thir communities" He said
that ii was useless to try to force the
Southern states to recognize the
Negro.
Let us take the same attitude to
ward the Negro in the South that we
do in the North and then ultimately
we will have the colored man reeog
nized In the South as he is in the
North.

toeracy of the Republicans. We are
beginning, where all charity must be-
gin, at home. We are setting a stand

we can hope that our colored brethren

over toward the Pennsylvania delega-

and Ninevah, land by branches will en-
able tourists to reach Damascus by
rail. 1t will utilize existing lines, so
that travellers landing at Beirut can
take cars for Jerusalem and other in
teresting places in Judea.
The resustitation of that part of
the world, which has been given over
TO owls and bats for many centuries,
will be hailed with delight by the pres
ent generation. Up to recently men
took their lives into their hands waer
their curiosity led them to explore
the sites of ancient cities, as robbers
lay in wait as in the days of the Good
Samaritan. The road will also bring
tourists in touch with the ruins Of the
city of Palmyra.
Mesopotamia is one of the richest
spots in the world, and bumper crops
can be grown there. The mercury IN
the thermometer is said to soar
around the one hundred mark
throughout most of the year.
Tourist parties who have recently
visited the Island Of Crete found the
ruins of an anlient town that flour

appears that the Minoan kingdom had
