The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1912-10-03

Stempel & Cherrington had a
little illustration of the fact that
advertising pays. They put on a
special sale of tooth brushes, holders
and tooth paste, and advertised it in
The Re porter in last weeks issue.
The sale commenced Thursday
morning and within two hours after
The Reporter was issued nearly the
entire stock was disposed of, and
they had their big display window
filled with the toilet articles adver-
tIseo. 1t only took a short time to
dispose of the entire stock, which
they thought was sufficient to last
them for the three day sale, but it
was entirely exhausted the first day.

CALLS THE BILL A -MISFIT.
Representative Hill Condemns Dem
ocratic Cotton Tariff Measure.

Democratic tariff legislation was pro-
nounced a .'hideous economic farce" with
guesswork as its basis, by Represent
alive EbeneZer j. Hill of Connecticut. in
a speech in the House yesterday. in which
he condemned the democratic cotton bill
as a misfit and urged the adoption Of a
substitute he has framed on the basis OF
the tariff boards report on the cotton
schedule.
Thus far in this Congress the whole
democratic tariff legislation has been a
hideous, economic farce declared Mr..
Hill. The free list bill of the extra
session was a fiat violation of every
theory which the party ever held. and a
reputation of every promise made to the
American people. 1t did not give one
cent of revenue to the Treasury but il
stripped every particle Of protection from
nearly 5000 OoO00 worth Of American
products. That was d sectional tariff for
politics only. and for all time to come
will hold unique place in American his
tory as monumental specimen of class
legislation.
THE extra session attempts TO revise
the metal and chemical schedules Were
StabS in the dark ct the system of pro-
lection and amazing mistakes which
have since been repudiated by their
authors with as cheerful unanimity as
that with which they approved them six

LONDON. August 3.-The Boy Scouts
OF the county of Kent started this morn
ing to carry out a big scheme OF
mobilization and communication pre-
pared by Commander James Galloway.

other officers. The operations are to
last three days, and owing TO the gem
eral public holiday Monday a large
number Of boys We're able To participate.
The boys We're sent off to watch the
southeastern coast Of England in sections,
extending from New Romney round the
Forelands to the Isle of Sheppey. and
their duty is to pass information be-
tween the coast and London and be-
tween towns in the county of Kent. and
to form lines of communication with
ad jacent counties. Stations have been
established at half-mile intervals, with
three scouts posted at each.
In time OF war. with an attack by
warships on the coast and the result
ing cutting of communications, it is
believed that this human chain would be
invaluable, and if it is successful on
this occasion it is to be made an an
nual affair.

BARS A COLOR LINE.
Roosevelt Refuses to Declare
for a White Mans Party.
VIEWS AS TO DELEGATES
Declares That It Would Injure the
Negro to Follow Course of
Republicans in the South.

NEW YORK. August 3.-In a letter
written to Julian Harris of Atlanta ed-
tor of Uncle Rernus' Magazine, and son
OF the late Joel Chandler Harris, Cal.
Roosevelt expresses his views on the posi-
ton of the negro in national politics and
the representation of negro delegates in
the convention of the progressive party
in Chicago In part, Mr.. Roosevelt
writes:
Treat Every One as He Deserves.
MANY letters dealing with the subject
of which YOU spoke to me have been sent
to me within the last few days. Those
written by men living in the north
usually ask me to insist that we get
from the south colored delegates to the
national progressive convention. Those
written by citizens of the south ask that
l declare that the new party shall be a
white mans party. ! am not able 10
agree to either proposal.
In this country we cannot permanent.
ly succeed except upon the basis OIL
treating each man on his worth as a
man. For us to Cypress any class OF Our
fellow-citiZens is not only wrong TO
others, but hurtful to ourselves surely
no man can quarrel with those principles
Il believe that the progressive move
ment should he made from the begln-
nlnG one IN the interest Oh every HoHeS',
industrious, law-abiding colored man,
just as it is in the interest of every
honest, Industrious, law-abiding white
man.
Course Pursued in the South.
Il further believe that the surest
way to render the movement impotent
to help either the white man or the
colored man in those regions of the
south where the colored man is most
numerous would be to try to repeat the
course that has been followed by the re-
publican party in those districts for so
many years, or to endeavor in the states
in question to build up q progressive
party by the same methods which in
those states have resulted in making the
republican party worse than inpotent.
In the south the democratic machine
has sought to keep itself paramount by
encouraging the hatred of the white man
for the black: the republican machine
has sought to perpetuate itself by
stirring UP the black man against the
white. and surely the time has come
when we should understand the mischief
in both courses, and should abandon
both.

Republican Failure in South.

The disruption and destruction of
the republican party. and the fact that
1t has been rendered absolutely i'm
potent as an instrument for anything
but mischief in the country at large
has been brought about in large part
by the effort to pretend that in the
southern states a sham is a fact, by
the insistence upon treating the ghost
party in the southern states as a real
party, by refusing to face the truth,
which is that under existing conditions
there is not and cannot be in the
southern states a party based primarily
upon the negro vote and under negro
leadership or the leadership of white
men who derive their power solely
from negroes.
With these forty-five years of fail
ure of this policy in the south before
our eyes. and with catastrophe thereby
caused to "A great national party not
yet six weeks distant from us. it would
be criminal for the progressives to re-
peat the course of action responsible
for such disaster such failure, such
catastrophe.
1t would be much worse than useless
to try to build up the progressive party
i'll these southern states, where there is
no real republican party, by appealing to
the negroes or TO the men who in the
past lave derived their sole standing
from leading and manipulating the ne
groes.
Appeal to Southern Whites.
Il earnestly believe that by appealing
to the best white men in the SOUTH the
men of justice and of vision, as we'll as
Of strength and leadership. and by frank
~ putting the movement in their hands
from the outset, we shall create a stu
alton by which the colored men of the
south will ultimately get justice, as 1t is
not possible for them to get justice If
we are to continue and perpetuate the
present conditions.
1.-The men to whom we appeal are the
men who have stood for securing the
colored man in his rights before the law
and they can do for him what neither
the northern white man nor the colored
men themselves can do. Our only wise
course from the standpoint of the color
ed man himself is to follow the course
that we are following toward him in the
north and TO follow the course we are
following toward him in the SOUTH
