THE RULE OF THE PEOPLE.

The national Progressive party,
committed to the principle Of govern
ment by a seIf-controlIed democracy
expressing Its will through represen-
tatives Of the people pledges Itself to
secure such alterations In the funda-
mental law Of the several states and
Of the United States az shall Insure
the representative character Of the
government.
In particular this party declares for
direct primaries for the nomination
OF state and national officers, for ma
tion-wide preferential primaries for
candidates for the presidency. for the
direct election of United States sena-
tors by the people; and We urge on
the states the policy Of the short bal
lot with responsibility to the people
secured by the initiative, referendum
and recall.
This Is the plank In the platform
condeming States Rights. and the re-
yival of the Civil Rights Bill. which
the Republicans never passed.

POLITICAL INeRATITUDE.

Gov. Foss of Massachusetts has de-
clared himself against the Civil
Rights of Negroes. He should ever
remember that he owes his present
position to Negroes. AS Republican
Candidate for Congress he was de-
feated by Negroes, and later elected
to Congress, as Democrat, by them.
He was also elected for Governor by
the Negro vote against 1t. Gov. Louis
A. rockingham, scion Of one Of
the best families of the State. We
are anxious to hear from that Guar
dian Of our Civil Rights. Editor
Trotter, of Boston. We failed to see
in his last issue any mention of the
attitude of Gov. Foss at the Govern
ors' Conference. We expect to hear
something soon, unless "this incident
has been closed" because of political
promises-and Trotter never sur
rendered when 1t was better to do SO,
than now. Yet he must be ashamed
Of his Governor, whom he served with
all his zealand who left him naked
to his arch enemies In the Southland,
and In the Democratic Party.

FRIENDSHIP OR FINANCE.

Would any organization continue to
receive dues and to recognize one of
its members during his many pros
porous years In connection with a
questionable business, and when he
had developed an incurable disease,
entertain charges against him, that
were preferred by brothers in enmity,
preventing him from receiving finan-
cial or social assistance in distress?
Yes, is was done, and this is the
Friendship of not only this one, but
most Negro secret societies.

JACK JoHNsON's COURAGE.

MiIholIand Praises Champion and Calls
Attention to Race Traducer.
When somebody asked Mr.. John q.
Milholland recently why he was inter
ested so deeply in the case Of Jack
Johnson his answer was characteris-
tic. We give 1t for the benefit Of our
readers. Mr.. Milholland said:
~ am interested in Johnson's case
not for the reason that he has demon
strated himself to be the greatest box
Or of this or perhaps any other gen.
Grafton, but because in that memorable
contest at Reno with Jeffries, acknowl-
edged champion Of the world, he per-
formed a service to his race Of meal
culable value.
''You know that tradition was not
only Of the prize ring, but generally
that the colored man not only lacked
staying power, but the nerve that was
necessary to his success in any really
desperate encounter. especially II the
odds seemed against him. Now. the
odds against johnson were overwhelm-
ing.
'aThat immense audience was all
with Jeffries, and 1t was only its sport
ing character and the fact Of the eye
Of the civilized world being upon the
proceedings that kept down the mani
festation Of its hostility.
Undoubtedly an overwhelming ma.
jority, probably 30 per cent, would
have gladly seen Johnson badly hurt
II not actually killed in the encounter.
Yet he was not only undisturbed, but
broke all traditions Of the ring by
maintaining the utmost good nature
throughout the whole contest.
ALTHOUGH everything possible was
done to annoy him by the friends OF
Jeffries, he was laughing and joking
In an unprecedented manner from be-
ginning to end. Not a trace Of vel
low was shown. The absolute cour-
age Of the Negro had been indicated
by him as conclusively as at Fort
Fisher or on any battlefield of the re-
bellion."
Mr.. Milholland also pointed out that
Johnson's courage was again shown
when urged to leave Chicago at time
when his bail bond was only $1,000 ne
Indignantly refused to 60, saying ne
had done nothing to justify punish
ment and was perfectly confident OF q
fair trial.
It Is to be hoped that this confidence
viii not be misplaced. When all Ia
over 1t must not be forgotten that one
Of the most treacherous blows dealt
johnson was by one Of his own race.

THE DOOR OF HOPE.

The record of the Republican Party,
and the recent developments within
the Democratic ranks should lead
many more Negroes to believe that in
the Progressive Party is their hope
of future years. They should demand
proper recognition in its organiza-
lions, and keep in touch with the pol
itical situation.
The Negro is factor in the Battle
of life and in this grand march of
progress must carry his own burdens
and fight his own battles, and the
day is near when he will win the
great victory of world wide recogni-
ton and human happiness. This
should be the quest Of the rising gen.

JACK JoHNsoN's PICTURE
BARRED.

The Daily News has barred the

mother? The Negroes are more
proud Of Jack Johnson than the
whites have ever been Of the fair

FRANK NIMock,s BILL.

Hon. Frank Nimocks, ex-representa-
tive and representative elect, may
present bill preventing intermar-
riage in the coming session of the
legislature. Mr.. Nimocks in the opin-
ion Of many was elected by corrupt
practices, and won in contest, after
an overwhelming defeat 2 years ago.
There Is not Negro of any standing
who cares whether or not Mr.. MINI
ocks introduces this bill, because
there are fair minded legislators
everywhere, and 1t Is question In
our mind as to whether Mr.. Nimocks
can get many of his bills out of the
committees. These issues test the
manhood of our lawmakers also the
fidelity of our white friends, and they
must be confronted sooner or later.
In the recent election in st. Paul, a
candidate for Court Commissioner
printed on his cards that he would
never marry Negro to a white wom-
an, and there was no law to make
him." He also ran In the rear. The
sentiment Of few agitators will not
control the many fair minded men,
bers of the Legislature land there are
friends of the Negroes not because he
Is black, or wants to marry a white
woman, but because he is a human
being and entitled to Equality be-
fore the Law"

HEAL TIL
Conditions of the City Are
Discussed and Improve
ments Are Urged.

At the initial luncheon held today
at the Waldo by the members OF the
local board OF trade. much interest
was manifested in the welfare of the
city and the determination TO take
up specific improvements needed for
the future. To bring this about more
committee work is necessary
through the membership of the local
organization and the secretary is en-
deavoring to secure the necessary Co
operation to this end.
At the meeting today DR.. H. T.
Sloan addressed the members on the
subject of much needed improve
ment IN the sanitary condition of
the city and the support of the cit
liens along the line OF strengthening
the work OF the local board OF
health. He stated that the present
condition of affairs was 1ntolerable
and that radical changes were nee
essory in order to place the present
board in a position to perform its
functions and do effective work.
Dr.. SIoan's address created great
interest and the support Of the,
board of trade along the line sug-I
gested was pledged at this meeting
1t was resolved that a special COM

IS GOING
TO. MORGANTOWN
The Rev Mr., King to Ex-
change Positions with Dis
tricf Superintendent.

Unofficial announcement was made
sunday in the First Methodist Epis-
copal church that the Rev o. Dale
! King would resign the pastorate of
the church to become district super
intendept of the Morgantown district.
and that the Rev c. d. Smith, Of Nor
gano~n. superintendent Of that DIS
trict. would resign his position as such
n order to become, pastor Of the First
church here. In other words. the two
gentlemen are to exchange their posi-
t:ons.
The exchange. however, is subject
10 the approval of the bishop in charge
CT the West Virginia conference and
until such approval is given by him.
the announcement cannot be regarded
as authoritative and final All other
ARRANGEMENTS have been made regard
ing the proposed exchange and It is
not likely that the bishop Viii with
hold his approval. He has the matter
Under consideration.
The Rev. Mr.. King is serving his
second year as pastor Of the Clarks-
burg church, the conference having
recently returned him to the pastorate
for another year. He succeeded the
Rev. James E. Bird, who was assigned
to the pastorate of the First Methodist
Episcopal church at Charleston, which
the Rev. Mr.. King formerly held.
Much regret is expressed by members
OF the local congregation and others
over the Rev. Mr.. Kings likely with
drawaI. He has had big success here
as pastor and is exceedingly popular
among CIarksburgers. He is consid-
cred one Of the most scholarly and
forceful ministers of the church.

SUCCESS TIONS MADE
FOR A GUARANTEE
For Sleeper Service between
tClarks6urg and Pittsburg
to Committee.

The delegation from ClarksburG
and other towns interested in secur-
ing night service from CIarksburg
to Pittsburg and from Pittsburg t"
CIarksburg who met with the OF
fcIals if the passenger and oper-
ating department. of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad Friday have re-
turned. The meeting was most
opportune as the semi-annuai time
table committee was. at that time
considering necessary changes for
the ensuing six months
The delegation was accorded
most respectful hearing. but the Of
fcials representing the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad stated they did
not feel that they were justified IN
considering the new trains requested
for the reason that it would not pay
them to do So A suggestion was
made to the committee that service
be considered which would involve
the handling of a sleeper each way
by the way Of Grafton and Wheel
ing. This could be done by hauling
sleeper out of Clarksburg on no
4. out OF Grafton on 40. : at 1:i7
a. IN. and out OF wheeling on No.
los arriving at Pittsburg at sos a
M. The return trip would involve
handling a sleeper on no. 1o5 from
Pittsburg at 9:&5 p. m. leaving
Wheeling at 12:55 a. m. arriving at
Grafton at 4:55 a. IN. and at Clarks-
burg at 7:3O a. m.
The sleeping car service above
outlined would only be considered
however, by the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad upon a guarantee to them OF
tho revenue which they are com
pellpeued to guarantee to the Pull
man Car Company, amounting to
| Sc. 900 per annum. This means that
a revenue of abort $500 a day or
a patronage of at least eight pas

guaranteed.

INCREASED
Pluralities the Official Can
vass of Vote in the State
Will Show.

WHEELING, Nov. 11.-That the Re
publican pIuraTities viii be greatly
increased by the canvassing of the
vote which began today is an assured
fact. Reports received from many of
the iifty-fve counties in West Virginia
by the IntelIigencer, yesterday were
to the effect that in giving out the Re
publican vote the election officials did
not include the vote cast on the Pro-
gressive ticket The Mocsers cast
their solid vote in practically every
county for Dr. Hatfield and the other
Republican state candidates.
