In rounding out those rights IN accoru-
ance with the letter Of the Const'tutlou'

conscious OF what IT ought 10 stand LOT
Is ready to continue the fight Tor your
constitutional rights. Recently we haye
had an agitation concerning an amend.
ment to the Constitution which would
affect the guarantees of life, liberty ara
property that We have all valued 70
highly, and which have come down 20 US
from our ancestors. The RepuDncsn
party has set its face like flint against
any departure from a strict enforcement
OF these rights. Understand me, my
friends, l don't mean to say that the
strict enforcement of those rights mas
been made possible. We are not perfect.
There are great many defects-amonS
them the defect with respect TO the polit-
cal rights Of the negro in the South. You
have not suffered with respect to your
property rights your liberty and your
life except possibly In those incidental
cases of lynchng where a prejudice has
been excited. but those are comparative
~ few In number as compared with the
100000 negroes who are here whose
property rights are maintained, whose
liberty is maintained and whose right to
the pursuit OF happiness Is maintained.
No one can take your earnings away
from you. They are preserved to you
whether you work In the South or In the
North. That your opportunities are not
equal, growing out of race prejudice, L
am the last one to deny. and ] have
the deepest sympathy with you in know

l believe the Republican party, as at

PUBLIC BUILDING WASTE
House Committee Report Points
Out Fraud Possibilities.

washington, July 1s.-Severe criticism
OF the gov3ment methods of erecting
public buildings is contained in the re-
port OF the House Committee on Elk
penditures in Public Building. which
Chairman Cyrus Cline, of Indiana. sub
mitted TO the House to-day.
The committee points out extravaganza
ana waste and the possibilities of fraud
ia PUBIC expenditures after making it
GEAR that its Investigations were made
with no desire TO discover any scandal in
the public service. The committee makes
the recommendation that government
buildings be standardized and endeavors
10 point out what It considers the folly
OF maintaining a big force Of craftsmen
and architects to make plans for every
building constructed by the government.
The report finds that since 1902 72l build
nss have been erected and that there
are now pending bills for $50 buildings, to
cost an aggregate Of 100000.
The office of the supervising architect
OF the Treasury is criticised. This office
is maintained at a cost OF 5000. 900 an
nually. 1t has had no definite policy, the
committee finds, and blame Is attached
TO former Supervising Architect James
Knox Taylor for some OF the mistakes
that have been discovered. The commit
tee says the present system Of awards IS
bad and should be changed. 1t points to
instances where contractors have beer
the beneficiaries Of extras" and better
ments" when Mr.. Taylor dominated the
board.
The committee urges that members Of
Congress be less Jealous In their efforts
to get public buildings for their districts
and recommends legislation making I
illegal to erect n public building In any
city Of less than 5000 inhabitants or
whose postofice takes in less than $4,000
annually. The practice OF employing out
side architects is condemned.

The action of the Democratic members

BETTER MINE CONDITIONS.
Reports Show Loss of Life is Less
In Last Year Than Formerly.

Denver.-A human life was lost in
Colorado's mines for every 112,OOO
tons of coal mined last year. A pen
atty of ninety-one lives was paid for
the 1O,157,3S3 tons of coal produced
by the mines in 1911.
In the first eight months of 1912
practically the same ratio held good,
for sixtyfour men met death in the
industry of coal mining in this state
up to September l, 1912.
Both years show q great reduction
in the lives lost from 1910, however,
for in that year terrible disasters in
the Trinidad and Louisville fields
brought the total of miners deaths
up to 1923, or one for each $4,000 tons
of coal produced This was the high.
est average of deaths in comparison
with tonnage in the nation in that
year-19l0.
1t was partly on account Of this
disastrous showing that the federal
bureau of mines was impelled to send
two of its mine safety cars to Colo.
