Negroes in the Navy Speech of John a. Payner at the Ci
zens Reception to 10th Cavalry Convention Hail.
Washington d. c.

There is borne in upon me in
connection with this splendid
gathering, the fact that Americans
generally seem determined to re-
ject the evidences of our interde-
pendent racial progress.
We will not recognize the great
trend; we do not seem 10 realize
that progress is the order OF the
ages. Certain it is however that
here and there, in the history OF
races and nations, advance has
been checked and development de-
layed if not destroyed.
Invariably, if the course of such
decadeuce is sought, it has been
found in the vicious, idolatrous
and immoral lives of the people
themselves.
Cruelty, injustice and persecu-
tion in the pathway of loyal, vir-
tuous and ambitious people have
been nothing more than tempo
rary check in their progress to-
wards the hill-tops of civil and po-
litical privilege.
The story of the American Ne
gro as its further chapters shall be
added promises to offer no excep-
ton to this rule.
Coming from the depths of bar
barism. thro a midnight OF slavery
the friendly hand of Omnipotence
guided him into the sunlight OF a
glorious reimbursement. Be-
wildered and almost blinded by
its dazzling splendor, with ITEM
bling prayer he CROPPED his way
until accustomed to the glare, when,
with vision clear and strength OF
limb he upward bravely toiled.
His achievements measured by the
best the world has done, represent
the high-lights of growth and pro
gress which typify the capabili-
ties of our human kind and with
which no others may be compared.
A more forceful evidence OF a
wonderful racial development may
scarcely be found in any age than
in this large body of brave and 10y
al men, trained to the minute in
the essential intricacies of the art
and practices of modern warfare,
whom we are proud to honor here
tonight.
The display of their daring
courage and intrepid valor, no less
than that of their heroic brothers
of the splendid Ninth, forn a
treasure-house of tales of camp
and battlefield, on which some
black Homer in coming days may

MI-O-NA QUICKLY
ENDS INDIGESTION

Do not continue to suffer with
heartburn. dizziness, after dinner dis
tress, headache, biliousness. pain in
the bowels or sour and gassy sto-
mach. Get relief at once-buy to-
day-a soc box of Mi-o-na Tablets.
They quickly and suddenly end indi-
gestion and stomach distress-are
perfectly harmless.
There is no long waiting for re-
sults-no need to deprive yourself
of the food you like best but fear to
take because of stomach distress.
Eat what you want at any time and
take Mi-o-na Tablets.
Do not suffer stomach distress an
other hour. 1t is not only needless,
but may be dangerous-many serious
diseases have their origin in the
stomach and bowels.

considered it an infringement on our

offered in his advertisements to sell

Coal Company, and they at once saw
the fairness of their position. An
agreement was reached by which it
is understood that Mr.. Plato is to

SMALL IDAHO TOWN NEAR WAL
LACE HAS NARROW
ESCAPE.
COME DOWN MOUNTAIN SIDE SUNDAY
James FIaherty Known to Be Dead
Railroad Tracks Blocked and Burke
Is Cut off, TemporariIy-Other
Slides Are Feared.

Wallace, Idaho.-Hundreds of tons
of snow and rock which crashed down
the mountains from above Mace, Idaho,
Sunday evening claimed one and pos
sibly more victims. This one is buried
beneath more than 80 feet Of debris.
Many residents of this canyon town
are moving to safer quarters.
Both the Northern Pacific and O.-W.
r. & N. railroads were in the path of
the avalanche. Their tracks are buried
as is the wagon road into Burke. This
latter town has been isolated since the
slide. 1t is impossible to reach the
town except on foot. Telephone, tele-
graph and power lines were broken
down.
Faherty Was Doomed.
James Flaherty, the man caught,
was walking from his cabin to spring
a few feet away when he was killed.
He had no warning and no chance to
escape. His partner, Lum Kelly, was
gettin gdinner in the house. He re-
ceived his warning only when the
rushing snow, was carried from it's
foundation.
Great Slide Ripe for Mischief.
The snow came down what is known
as Miller's gulch, to the south of Up
per Mace. The mountain rises steeply
here for more than two miles. The
path is a rocky one with occasional
trees. These trees were snapped off
and carried with the rushing mass. For
weeks the snow has been gathering
here until today, when a rain set in, it
was from six to 10 and IL feet deep.
The rain honeycombed the snow. The
water, aided by brisk gale, set it
rolling.
Debris Extends for 600 Feet.
AS it left the gulch the stream of
snow was scarcely more than $50 feet
wide, but as it struck the floor of the
narrow canyon it spread in a fan
shaped field which extends nearly 600
feet up and down the canyon.
So severe was the impact that the
windows of the nearby houses were
broken by the conclusion The tele-
phone and telegraph poles on the far
side of the canyon were town down
and the wires and cables buried. Crews
are now putting these in place.
