The price Of all sorts of shoes is
sure to oe increased before September
l." said J Harry SELF of the Selz-
Schwab company, Only yesterday we
we're figuring up the price of leather,
and we found that since January /,
1908, the cost of leather had increased
u err cent The price of shoes has
been raised from time to time to keep
pa e with this increase in the cost of
leather, but another boost 10 the shoe
price is now due
I'VE have not made any Increase in
the price recently, but we have noti-
fled our patrons that on or before Sep
TENDER | an increase of about 20 per
cent must be made
"There are many reasons for this
increased price of leather, but the
popularity of the automobile is one Of
the principal causes. The average
man does not know how many sides of
leather are being used today in the
manufacture automobiles. TIE great
trouble is that the uses for leather are
increasing daily, and the supply Of raw
material is decreasing. The large
ranges of the west are being cut up in-
TO small farms, and the owner is now
raising cereals instead of cattle and
sheep
"Also, the population of the world
is increasing, and more shoes are be-
ing worn each year. This is true not
only in the United States, but all over
the world. Every variety of leather is
increasing in price, and l think they
will continue to do So"
Shoes, however, are nat the only ar
ticles of wearing apparel which are
advancing in price. The fall suit in
1912 will cost more than did its pre-
decessor in 1911. The American WOOL

The price Of shoes is going up, and

Those who have been accustomed to

state, one of them not at all amenable to us. Our citizens will be to a consider able extent removed from the protection Of our laws and subject to penalties and disabilities unknown to our laws. The hostilities already engendered between the whites and the blacks will be increased and continued and the inducements to in- terfere in our municipal affairs by persons outside the state will be encouraged.
 In view of the case it is my opinion that your eXcellency will render an essential service to the people in reliev- ing them from this foreign judicature by according to the negroes the rights of wit nesses in the case proposed.
 A B. Cooper. delegate from Wilcox county, wrote from the floor of the con- stitutional convention of 1865, in reply to the governor: Tt is a singular fact that the members from the old slave holding counties and the largest (fermer) slave holders in this body, are more willing to give the right (to testify in court to the freedmen than the members from poorer non-slave holding counties. This is a significant fact. It shows the prejudice common to most white men and not dis- position to oppress."
 The Mobile Register made a clear and eloquent appeal to the whites in the af- ffrmative of the proposition to qualify the freedmen as witnesses in court. The ed itor said: Hinder the military law that governs us the negro is free man. The law which made him so would be incon- sistent in itself and unjust to the vic- tim of it's benevolence were 1t to stop there, without providing for him the legal means of self protection and legal meas ures for the redress of his wrongs and the enforcement of his contracts"
 What would have been the relation of the freedmen to political rights in Ala bama had not the government at Wash ington interposed to force race equality? Certainly the whites would have divided on the race question. The solidarity of the democratic and conservative party, under Clanton, would not have been known. National questions of internal im- proVements, disposition of the public debt. income tax, tariff tax would have divided public opinion among white voters. while on both sides of the line the question of obtaining help by the admission of the negro to the electorate would have arisen. We have seen that a majority of the states of the north excluded the negro from the polls for several years after the fall of the Confectionery. and that the re- strietion there was removed in order to secure the countenance of a sufficient number of states to section of the four teenth article of amendment and in effect to create a public institution of the na- tional debt.
 MT. Saffold's estimate of the incapacity of the freedmen to act a part in the life of the state, as given on solicitation from Governor Parsons, and his speedy later embrace of the extremist policies of the radical element in forcing negro equality In every particular into the laws. brings the perplexities of the situation into pain- full view.
