The Kansas Democratic Club brought

Democratic leaders were present
from all over the State and though
many meetings and conferences were
held there. was no movement for en-
dorsement Of any candidate,
Wilson said:
THE cry of the hour seems to be
that business has grown as formidable
in It's dependent organ as to have set
itself up in rivalry to the government
itself and that It therefore must be
regarded; that the whole force of gov.
eminent must be bent to the restraint
of business. venture to suggest that
what We are really after is not the
restraint OF business, but the restraint
OF individuals who are putting bust.
ness upon a false and foolish footing.
In respect to the restraint Of
worng, we should deal with indivi'
duals, rather than with corporations,
1t should DE laid bare of whom bust.
ness combinations consist and those Of
whom they consist should be directly
and individually dealt with whenever
wrong is done, either to an indIyl'
dual, or to the freedom OF business
itself. The movement back to the
people in the field of politics mps
precede the movement away from mo

Where there is monopoly in the one
there will be tyranny and special
privilege in the other"

From King to Tramp.

These constant defeats weakened
the old chiefs influence with the In
dams, Al last his people rose against
him, deposed him from the rank Of
head chief, or king, and put young
er, more peaceful leader in his place.
Such fall from power was too much
for oconostota's pride. He became
an outcast, took to drink, and spent
his decIlnging years trampIng. as a
beggar through the country he had
once ruled, keeping alive by. begging
or stealing from the very settlers
whom he had sought to destroy.
When he could find any one to listen
to him he would spend ours weeping
and bewailing his lost Kingdom"
And so-a forgotten, drunken vaga-
bond-he passed out Of history. None
knows what at last befell him, nor
when or how he 6ted.

THE TRUTH WELL TOLD.

Don't be afraid to speak i'll Of the
dead. No man that has lived should
be saved from deserved criticism by
the commonplace fact of ceasing to
be alive. 81 should WISH" said the
Cardinal de Bernis, that every re-
gard Of politeness be preserved for
the living, but that it might be per-
mitted to speak freely ones mind of
the dead"
Filled as our lives are with daily
shams, there is no more absurd and
abominable sham about us than the
mask Of sorrow that we wear to the
funeral Of rogue. AS a matter of
fact, the dead, being safe from phys
ical punishment, should be the more
open to such reprobation as their acts
may have courted.
In true sense, "the evil that men
do lives after them" To condone
the faults Of the dead is to corrupt the
morality Of the living.-Reginald w.
Kaufman, in The Cosmopolitan.

WORLDS FAIR IN THE WOODS.
Jenkins orphanse to Hold Lengthy
Series Of Entertainments.


Charleston. s. C.-The worlds fair
In the woods is the title Of series Of
literary and musical entertainments
which will be given under the auspices
Of the Jenkins orphanage in this city,
beginning on Monday. Feb. 5. to run
three weeks. For twenty-one years
similar entertainments have been sue
cessfully held for the benefit Of Or
phan children cared for by the insti-
tuition. The mayor of the city and
other prominent citizens have consent
ed to make addresses at different
times during the series, and the out
look for a profitable ingathering Of
funds is encouraging.
The churches and other organized
bodies for religious and material up
lift will take an active part in helping
the asylum to raise the sum Of $1,000.
which amount is much needed to en-
able the management to care for the
large number Of orphan children hous-
ed by the institution this winter Rev.
D. j. Jenkins, founder and president
Of the orphanage. has asked for 500
volunteers to assist in the work, be-
sides a special committee which has
charge Of the arrangements.
Through the untiring zeal Of the Rev.
Mr.. jenkins many friends from among
both races have become much interest
ed in the orphange and contribute
annually to its support. These friends
are not confined to Charleston alone,
but are scattered in different sections.

no better channel through which to

The children are taught the various

race Or creed. They are Jack John
son, Sam Langford, Joe Jeanette and
Sam McVey. These four men are the
leading characters in the heavyweight
division Of pugilism. In the common
commercial parlance we would say
they have cornered the market.
Jack Johnson, the acknowledged
heavyweight champion pugilist Of the
world, is the center of attraction at
the present time in view of the fact
that he is matched to fight Jim Flynn
some time in July. Flynn is said to be
the champions most formidable white
opponent who has the nerve to sign
articles of agreement to face Johnson
In the ring.
Jack Johnson was the first Of his
class among the colored fighters to
appear upon the scene after the pass
ing Of Peter Jackson. His career as
prizefighter began in Chicago In 1899.
He has had most interesting career.
His physical strength, coupled with his
knowledge, experience and skill, makes
all aspirants for the heavyweight
championship title stand in fear Of
him. He Is yet young, ambitious, art
full and fearless. If he continues to
use good common sense he will long
be the worlds champion, the pride of
his race in this particular and the idol
Of sporting men the world over.
OF the other three 1t may be said In
brief that Langford received his first
lessons In boxing from Jim Walsh in
1901 and has been in the fighting arena
ever since. McVey appeared upon the
scene two years later, and in 1904 Joe
Jeanette offered himself as a fit sub
ject to receive punishment from fistic
encounters. Johnson, Langford and
Jeanette. the notable big trio, have
fought each other many times. Sam
McVey for some reason has resided in
Paris and other parts of Europe most
Of the time. ..
A summary Of events in which the
four men have taken part reduced to a
common denomination would read thus:
Jeanette and Johnson have battled
seven times. Joe won once on a foul.
and Jack won one decision. One other
fight was a draw, and no decisions
were rendered in the other FIVE. John
son has boxed McVey twice. He beat
him on both occasions. Jeanette met
McVey four times. The first battle
went ten rounds to mo decision"
Jeanette won the decision in the next
one over a twenty round course. The
third contest lasted fifty-one rounds,
McVey being knocked out. Shortly
after they fought thirty rounds. The
decision was a draw.
Langford and Jeanette have met
about eight times. with varying results
Generally Langford won. but Jeanette
had an edge the last time they FLASHED.
which was In September. In New York.
Langford and Mcvey have come to-
gether twice. Last April they fought
q twenty round draw in Paris. Re-
Gently McVey got a decision over Bos-
ton Sam in twenty rounds at Sydney.

BELIEVES IN ADVERTISING.
Results Of Its Constant Use Shown by
Baltimore Druggists.

Results Of Its Constant Use Shown by
Baltimore Druggists.
Baltimore.-The value Of continual
advertising in race papers is exempli-
fed in the remarkable success that
Stokes & Derry, druggists, Of this
city have had within the past three
years. Starting out in 1908, they
have built up business that exceeds
that done by any of the four other
colored drug stores of the city.
When asked recently what he
thought had contributed to the sue
cess of his business venture DR.. p.
Very Stokes, senior member of the
firm, said: 81 attribute much Of the
success that we have had in the drug
business to the fact that we have al
ways let the public of Baltimore
know through the local race papers
what we have to sell. am firmly Of
the opinion that colored men in busi-
ness can add considerably to the vol
ume Of trade done by advertising their
wares in race papers.
"White men who are successful
along business lines continually let the
people know what they have to sell by
advertising. Another factor in bust
ness success is letting the public have
the right goods at the right prices, and
If you have not an article that GUS
toner wants make a strenuous effort
to get it. Up to date methods, mod
ern equipment, polite and quick serv-
ice, also help immensely"
DR.. Stokes is native Of Baltimore.
While studying in the Baltimore col
ored high school he worked in one of
the drug stores of the city. He then
entered the Philadelphia College of
Pharmacy, where he was graduated in
1908.
While in Philadelphia he filed the
position Of pharmacist at the Fred
erick Douglass Memorial hospital and
nurse training school. He returned
to Baltimore and passed very cred
table examination as pharmacist.
DR.. Derry is native of Baltimore
also. He was educated in the Balti-
more public schools, Lincoln universi.
ty and Oberlin college, afterward
studying pharmacy at the University
Of Michigan. He worked for a num-
Der Of years in local drug stores be-
fore embarking into business on his
own account .a
