second-class Postage.

President Taft recently sent mes
sage to Congress recommending that
the rate on second-class postage be
increased one hundred per cent.
That is, he recommended that whereas
second-class matter is now carried at
one. cent per pound, it be increased to
two cents. His recommendation is
based on the findings of Post Master
General Hitchcock, and it goes with
out saying that the subject will cause
lively debate when it comes up for
consideration.
Every newspaper and magazine in
the country is opposed to this in
crease and Negro newspapers will
be the greatest sufferers if this rec
Ommendation is put into effect. The
dawn of light is just beginning to ap
pear to the most Of the Negro news
papers, and if they are forced to pay
two cents per pound for postage many
of them will be forced to suspend

sHELBYvILLE NOTES.

The Birthday Party" at the M. 3.
Church on the 21st was a success,
although it was very disagreeablc
evening. One of the most enter
tanning musical program of the sea-
son was given last Friday evening
Ivy the young men, Messrs. Cowan,
Gwen, and the Whiteside brothers.
They were assisted by Prof. T. T..
Ransom, who is one of the best sing
ers in the town Prof. Ransom's
solos always make hit. The con-
cert was given at the A. M. E..
Church. Probably the grandest pub
lie entertainment that has been wit
messed by the Shelbyville people in
Inany d day, produced by local talent,
took place last Tuesday night at the
city Auditorium, by Turner Normal
students. 1t was the drama, "Queen
Esther" More than fifty people
constituted the company. Miss Cleo
buchanan, acting the part of Esther
Quilted herself grandly Mr.. B. A.
| ]. Jones, as King Ahasuerus, made
some clever hits. The guests at
Queen Vashtis banquet was a dash
ing feature of the play. The dis
| play of rich costumes, and flashing
! Jew Try Of the ladies', as well as the
gorgeous paraphernalia of the gen.
tlemen constituting the mob emen
princes and guards, were a. spectacle
long 20 be remembered. Prince
Humans downfall, and the elevation
Of Mordecai, were cleverly enacted
ny Mr. Phillip W. Jordan, as Haman
and Mr.. Emmett Campbell, as Nor
decai. The Persian Dancers, who
danced before the queen, was a most
pleasing feature of the play. The
students will produce the play OF
"Jephthahs Daughter" again this
spring, probably during Commence
ment week. This play was produced
at one time by the students, and II
has been called for a number Of
times since. Probably Misses Madge

ny HATS In the Ring

When ex-President Theodore Roose-
made this remark in Cleveland a
few days ago it was taken by his
friends to mean that he had finally
decided to break the long silence thai
has been pent up at Sycamore Hill,
and those opposed to him accepted it
as a signal to battle. And when he
announced in Boston that he would
accept the nomination for president
If ten iered him no one was surprised.
His announcement has stirred the
American nation as it has never
been stirred before. For, of all men
who have been spoken OF for the
presidency Mr.. Roosevelt is by far
the most impressive. He is that
type of man that the people of the
United States admire. 1t must be ac-
knowledged that he is world power,
If such may be said Of an Individual,
and he can be depended upon to do
things in a hurry. The night Is on
between Mr.. Roosevelt and President
Taft, with the odds in favor of the
Rough Rider"
The South is clamoring for Taft
but the East, North and West are
clamoring for Roosevelt. 1t is also
clear that the border states are
strongly for him. He stands a good
chance to control Maryland, West
Virginia, Kentucky and Missouri in
the Convention. This strength COM
bined with the three general sections
named above makes it appear that
Mr.. Roosevelt will be nominated by
the Republican National convention.
1 The next question Isl can he be elect
cd? We consider this as easily an
swered as the question Of nominal
ton. He is the strongest man, poll
. tically, in this country. He is ma
turaI born diplomat and a tireless
campaigner, and is able from this
!, standpoint to make better race than
Taft.
: He will command the support OF
, the Negroes in all parts or our com
mon country, which Mr. Taft could
|. not do. 1t is true that the Browns
: VILE affair will be brought up, but II
t does not seem reasonable that one sin
, can outweigh a multiplicity of sins
and this one act is the only instance
t in which it can be said that Theo
5 dore Roosevelt gave the Negro raw
e deal.
+ When he said his hat was in the
s ring it meant that things would be
/ lively from now until June. Mr.
o Roosevelt knows that the people o.
o this country like just such a spirit
4 but he is not only capable or making
q strenuous campaign, but is sane
and after all conservative.
