But, Mr.. Chairman, Members of the
Perry Centennial Commission, al
though we are nominally free. we
nave not yet reached the full stature
OF manhood in all the states of the
Union. We have done and are still
doing our part. We have ever been
loyal to the fag-no black anarchist

But we feel that we have not had a
square deal. In many of the states
we are disfranchised because of our
race; and jim crow laws disgrace the
statute books of every southern state.
why! If a patriotic black man wished
to visit the tomb of WASHINGTON, he
would be compelled to ride in a i'm
crow car.
A hundred years ago, Perry pro-

nave yet to learn that the color of a
mans skin affects his qualifications
or his usefulness. I have fifty colored
men on board my ship and many of
them are among my bravest and best

the treatment of efficient and trust
worthy Afro-Americans in WASHINGTON
today?
Protests Against Segregation.
In the departments of WASHINGTON,
colored clerks have recently been set
apart from their fellows with whom
they have worked for years, as if thew
were lepers. l do not know that YOU
gentlemen are aware of these things,
but the Little Brother" feels that
such segregation is unfair, unjust, un-
American and un-Christian. He en-
ters his vigorous protest and appeals
10 you, to Mr.. Taft, and you Governors
OF these several states, to exert all
your influence to wipe out these dis
examinations and see that all EN-.
p1oyees IN the civil service of this Gov,
eminent are treated as human beings
without regard to race, color or creed
And now Mr.. Chairman, and gentle
men of the Commission, thanking YOU
IN behalf of the 100 dauntless sea-
men, who fought with Perry hundred
years ago, in behalf of the 100000
who love and honor
the flag, for this opportunity of speak
ing for them today, I plead with you
that as we celebrate we shall also
determine that the most effective
forces of our American life shall be
turned upon injustice, and unright-
eousness as exhibited in every form of
discrimination, Acknowledgement,
segregation, mob-v1olence and Jim
crowism, the enemies of our national
life, to the end that the day will not
be far distant when white men and
co1ore native and foreign born, South
as well as North, shall look upon the
shat cred fleet of all the enemies of
our domestic peace within this great
Republic nd may with truth exclaim
We've met the enemy and they are
ours"

Have Proved LOYALTY.

But what of Alexander? and what
of the 100, the Little brother in
black" whose loyalty, devotion and
love for this country have never
righteously been questioned? Like
Alexander, he has been with youths
bigger brother-from the beginning
until now. With you at Boston and
at Bunker Hill, where Crispus Attacks,
Peter Salem and dozen Sable-hued,
shed first blood for American Inde-
pendence.
And who can forget the sixties? the
horrible years of the Civil War, when
brother fought against brother, father
against son, and our glorious nation
was rent with inter-necine strife?
How dark were those days! How i'm
perllled was the Union! Yet when
Llncoln's call came forth from Wash
ington, call for volunteers, a call for
men who would bare their breasts to
shot and shell for the reuniting of a
severed nation, the little Brother
answered Were coming Father Abra-

points of bristling bayonets, pinned

Colored Heroes At ELCaney.
In the late unpleasantness with
Spain, it was the 25th Inf (the little
brother in black that was first: called
to move in preparation for war. Soon
followed the 9th and 10th Cavalry and
the oath Infantry. How well those
black regulars acquitted themselves
is told in official records, and in the
press publications of that day. This
is what a leading journal said of the
25th at El-Caney:
american valOr never shOne with
greater luster than when the twenty
fifth infantry swept up the sizzling
hill of El-Caney to the rescue of the
rough riders. Two other regiments
came into view, but the bullets were
flying like driving hail; the enemy
We're in trees and sadnbushes with
smokeless powder, and the rough
riders were biting the dust and were
threatened with humiliation.
A rough rider described the feelings
OF his brigade when they saw the
other regiments appear and retreat.
Finally this rough rider, Southerner,
heard well-known yell. And out of
the distance moved regiment as if
on dress parade, faces set like steel,
keeping step like machine, their
comrades falling here, there, every
where, moving into the storm of invis-
ible death without one faltering step,
passing conquering up the hill, and
never stopping until El-Caney was
won. This was the Twenty-ffth
Regiment (Colored), United States
Infantry. The charge of the Twenty
fifth is deserving of comparison with
that of "The Light Brigade" in the
Crimean War, or of Custer in the
Massacre Of the Big Horn"
This is the story of ElCaney as
told by a religious journalsa few days
after the conflict

A WORD ON CAKES.

Most expert housewives have some
all round good cake which they use
as a foundation for any number OF
kinds. For example simple cake
with vanilla favoring may have
chocolate frosting if baked in a square
loaf or if baked in layers the filling
may be varied indefinitely Spice may
be added or chocolate, making a spice
cake or one layer may be spiced with
fruit and one layer plain with any
desired filling A slight depression in
the center of the cake When filling the
pans will always result in a level
cake.
Just a word to those who are yet un=
experienced in the art of cake max
ing: First of all have your materf-
ais and utensils all ready before you
begin. or in the midst you will find
that you are just lacking some impor-
tant ingredient. A circle of paper,
even in deep layer pans, will help to
remove them in shape. and in a
square tin the papers are indispensa-
BILE. Grease the paper well, and line
the TIN smoothly.
The time was when much dreaming
of butter and stirring of the sugar and
butter together was thought the only
way to make a good cake; but times
have changed, and with the rush of
other things, cake making must keep
pace. All the ingredients, if we'll
blended and given a good beating to
make a fine grained cake, answers all
purposes for every day occasions.
fair cake, good enough for any one If
a frosting or filling is added. is made
of three level tablespoonfuls of butter,
cup of sugar half a cup of milk or
water two eggs, two teaspoonfuls of
baking powder and a cup and three
quarters of sifted flour. The flour may
vary as the thiekening power of flour
is often slightly variable, but cup
and q half to three-quarters is usually
sufficient. Add flavoring and bake in
a hot oven. A cake to be tender and
light must be we'll beaten before put
ting into the tins.
Another thing worth remembering
in cake making is that the thinner the
consistency. if baked without falling,
the more delicate it is.
Test a cake with fresh wooden
toothpick 1t seems heater than using
broom straw. If you notice that the
cake ticks or craekles when taken
from the oven, do not remove it, but
let it bake a little longer

GREATEST DISPLAY
IN STOCK arena
Live Stock Exhibits Already Entered
Presage the Greatest Showing in
History of the State.

The big increase in the number OF
live stock entries for the Arkansas
State Fair, october 81 to November /,
has made it incumbent upon the man
agement to provide more enlarged
quarters to accommodate the exhibits.
Last year the swine pens had to be
extended and this year still more ad-
ditions will have to be made. The
same is true of the cattle division,
whore more facilities will have to be
provided. The horse division can be
amply accommodated by the hundreds
OF splendid electric lighted box stalls
and stables. and the management has
taken hold OF the matter thus early in
order that every exhibitor will be af-
forded an equal chance in the exhibit
of his stock to the public as well as in
the competition before the judges.
The Arkansas state Fair provides
the most magnificent quarters for liva
stock of any state fair in the United

SPLENDID RIVALRY
AMONG COUNTIES
Every Section of the State VIII 30
Represented in Competition for
Combined Exhibits.

One of the best criterions of the
prospects for the 1913 Arkansas State
Fair, October q to November 1, is the
splendid interest manifested by the
county fairs in the competition for the
eight splendid awards made annually
by the state fair for the best col
lectiye county exhibits.
Last year Faulkner county won first
honors, Saline county, second, and
Conway third. with other splendid sx-
hibits winning the lesser honors.
Less than twenty counties exhibited
at the 1912 fair. but this year forty
counties have already entered in this
competition, which comprises a grand
panorama of the states resources and
productiveness. On another section of
this page will be found the illustration
of the three winning exhibits last year.
This year Agricultural hall will be
taken up almost exclusively with dis
plays from the different counties of
