MORGAN BUYS OLD ALBUM
Poetry Written by Financier' s
Ancestors in Relic.

Hartford. Conn, Nov. 2S.-The acci-
dental possession Of an autograph
album OF Wethersfcld Seminary, con-
tanning poetical selections in the hand
writing Of prosenitors Of the family Of
J. Pierpont Morgan, has enriched a
family well known in Hartford and
Meriden The album was dated lS=G.
Thomas Flynn. the young man whose
business sense was responsible for the
transaction. and a brother, William,
saw the fnancier tecentIy and made
the arrangements for the transfer Of
the volume. The book was in the
library Of a Watertown woman for scy-
eraI years Relatives. afrcr her death,
sold it for So
Thomas Flynn, the buyer, held the
book nearly ten years until he con-
ceived the idea that Mr. Morgan would
like TO have it, He had found i'm the
volume, besides the poeticai selections,
finely executed signatures Of people
prominent in the olden days in three
counties in this vicinity The sigma
lures which gave the book special value
to Mr. Morgan included those Of John
PierpOnt, a veteran poet Of early Bos-
ton, and Mary J. Pierpont.
William Flynn made two trips TO
New York TO see Mr.. Morgan, but the
iinanCier was so busy he could not
take up the matter. They were just
about TO give up hope of selling the
album when they received a message
asking them TO go 10 New York and
bring the book along. It was as a
result of the interview that followed
that the relic was placed in the pos
session OF Mr.. Morgan and check
given for it sufficient to buy an aver
age library in Connecticut OF save a
tottering village church.
The best feature of the transaction,
according 10 William Flynn, is that
Mr. Morgan fixed the price himself,
and was more than generous.

The police Of the Adams street sta

Miss Friedrich had brother and a

The fire marshal was not convinced Of
this. and il may be that the woman
was burned when n lamp exploded.
However, the case received close. at

several peculiar features.
The woman who was heircss 20 many

INTERMARRIAGE

The question of intermarriage is
again brought prominently before the
public by the attempt of the white
wife of champion Negro prize fight
er, to take her life. One daily paper
produces the small modicum of fact
garnished about with so much
heart-rending pity for the woman that
she appears to have been sinned
against as no other woman in the
world has ever been. The sordid
facts are that she made her choice of
a husband grew dissatisfied with life
and took the coward's way out of it.
1t is wasted effort to attempt to as
cribe feelings of shame to her when
she found herself in contact with
black men for the marriage was her
own voluntary choice. 1t is wasted
effort to attempt to make much ado
over intermarriage of the black and
white races, in the light of the fact
that the white race wherever it has
opened up new country from the
north pole to the African desert has
sustained marriage relations with the
women of the country. Romance has
done its best to glorify the union of
some races and prejudice it's worst
toward others. The principle of them
birth men have done the same. The
American press is veritable scandal
monger to make much over the few
intermarriages that occur in this
country.

NINTH CAVALRY GOES
TO THE FRONT

The Ninth Cavalry has answered
the call of duty and gone to the front.
1t passed through this city this week
in several detachments, bound for
Douglas, Arizona, on the border of
Mexico, where 1t will probably find
active duty. The government is con.
sidering intervening in Mexico in the
interest of saving the lives and prop.
erty of foreign residents, and the
Ninth will be early in the field should
this transpire. 1t is needless to say
that this regiment, tried on a hundred
battle fields, will acquit itself well.
The people of Wyoming and Colorado,
having come to know the troops well,
are deeply concerned and wish them
a peaceful return If possible, but if
not, then a soldiers fame whatever

THE PROOF OF THE. PUDDING.

The small number of citizens who
expressed their preferences at the Re-
publican and Democratic primaries,
under the direct primary law, is fair
ly good proof that there has not been
the call from the people for this kind
OF legislation that the legislature
thought there was. In theory direct
primaries are perfect, yet this theory
goes for nothing if the citizens do not
participate. Only 1000 Republicans
voted, about twenty to the precinct
Such a poor showing after all the agi-
tation, after all the difficulties which
the law imposes upon the voter who
does not participate, makes it clear
that such law lacks much of filling
the needs of Colorado. There is no
need of argument-the facts speak
for themselves. Such a small vote is
no more than was cast for Republi-
can candidates under the old hat or
cigar box ballot.
Worst of all, this new law which
attempts to control the expenditure
of candidates, only serves to make
the more effective the man with mon
ey. While he may not expend it di-
rectly, men of larger affairs through
advertising business, control the pol
lcies of many newspapers and they in
turn can give to the candidate they
want, an advantage over poorer rivals
which they cannot overcome. Money
is the price of publicity, and publicity
is success under the direct primary
law
