Dear Sir-4In your letter TO the
press and people, you have made
several statements which seem
proper subjects of discussion:
Every vote have cast on the tar
if schedule has been to Reduce the
tariff" | now refer you to the Re
cord of Feb. 20, 1912. Did you not
vote to increase the tariff on black
pepper? Did you not vote TO i'll
crease the tariff on iodine and other
medicine used to lessen pain? Did
you not vote to increase the tariff
on lime and lemon and orange juice?
Are not these harmless juices used
only in making Notwithstanding
drinks?
Did you not vote to decrease the
tariff on alcoholic compounds, thus
favoring intOxicants and the manu-
features of intOxicants and 'disrour-
aging innocent drinks?
Did you not vote TO LET bone black,
the sole use of which is made by he
Sugar Trust, in free?
Did you ever protest against any
of these things?
DO you still insist every vote east
has been to reduce the tariff?
now refer you to- Record Of
March 10, i9i2-yOu say you were
paired" with Republican on the
separation of races i'm soldiers
homes, Why did you pair" on this?
You voted that day for adding
S389,00O to Democratic appropria
tion bill in order to get New Orleans
S2i 900. Congressional Record 65i9.
Also in favor of legislative interfer-
ence with civil service. Congress-
,ional Record 65li. Why was it npces-
sary to pair" on this vote to segre-
gate the white from the negro sol
diers or-to use your own expression
the "colored soldiers"? Congression-
al Record 655l.
Defending your action in opposing
'Sherley, the Kentucky congress-
mans bill to let taxpayers in Wash
ington vote on taxing themselves,
you claim that the negroes in
Washington would control if they
could vote"
| ask you why you voted to fix the
minimum penalty at $i00 i'll Wash
ington for carrying concealed weap-
ons, and voted against another Ken
tuckian's (Johnson) bill to make car
rying concealed weapons felony?
Congressional Record 1916.
Again ask you if you believe Bob
Broussard, Jack Beall of Texas.
Witherspoon Of Mississippi, Varda-
mans friend, and the thirty other
Southern congressman who voted to
let taxpayers vote on tax leVylng,
are friends of the negro and are
helping the negro to get the power
to vote?
Again ! ask you, since you have
access to the assessment rolls in
Washington, to give us the numb II
of negroes who are taxpayers-and
this bill limited the vote to taxpay-
ers.
Again you say II am charged with
voting to charter a street car line in
Hilo, Hawaii which had watercd
stock" The evidence in the Record
contradicts this.
On page 7i4s of the Congressional
Record your vote is recorded along

THE VALENTINE PARTY.

How to Arrange a jolly Time With

variety, the higher priced ones being
works Of art that would constitute very
pleasing reminders of a joyous oc-

lector.
The decoration Of the house should
come In for a fair share of the hostess

form Of canopy, using the chandelier
as a central starting point, or they
may be gracefully draped over door
ways, window curtains and bare
stretches of wall. A large horseshoe
