Thomas Rogers, representative Of the
American Express Company in this city

many years, may accept the appoint
ment as agent.
Mr., Rogers was born in Dodgevllle
in l847. At the age of seventeen he
was appointed deputy postmaster at
Mineral Point which position he held
during the last year of the war. In
1866 Mr.. Rogers became deputy post
master in Dodgeville and he was con-
tinued in that capacity until 1881, when
as a reward for his ability and faith
fitness, he was elevated to the post
mastership. In this year the North
western railroad was constructed
through from Madison and the Amer-
can Express Co., asked Mr.. Rogers to
look after its local interests. 70 this
he agreed and he has done so with re-
markable efficiency and fidelity right
up to the present time, a service Of
over 81 years. In 1883 Mr.. Rogers re-
signed as postmaster TO devote his en-
tire ting to the express business.

COMMUNICATION

WI W. Booth, Esq, Editor
Tonopah Bonanza, Tonopah. New
Dear Sir
have noticed from time to time
in your paper editorials on different
subjects, and | have my first time
to find one misrepresenting the party
concerned.
/ noticed your editorial on Jack
Johnson and the colored soldiers in
Chicago, in which you commended
the cOlored soldiers for their stand
taken in barring Johnson's society
That goes to show that the colored
people in general will disapprove
Johnsons actions. Since 1910, July
4, when Jack Johnson became cham
pion heavyweight OF the world, he
has been the central figure Of mum.
erous escapades. which have tended
to make him less and less popular
With the citizens of the United States,
both white and black. His unadulter-
ated shamelessness and utter disre-
gard Of the opinions of those who
implored him to avoid hurtful noto-
riety have been marked Although
he is a world champion physically
his conduct has shown him to be
mentally weak. It is true that, when
Johnson defeated Jeffries for the
championship title, the negroes of
this country were truly happy, be
cause some of the leading newspapers
had made the fight a race issue.
We were proud to prove to them
that the color Of a mans skin has
nothing to do with him as a determin.
ing factor toward success. The race
looked upon Johnson as a hero, one
who would play an important part in
breaking down prejudice; but we
have been greatly disappointed in
him. Instead of lessening prejudice,
he has increased it.
While writing you, permit me to
say that the newspapers of this coun-
try have done great wrong to the
black man in publishing exaggerated
articles regarding the black mans
bad qualities. forgetting the good in
him and poisoning the mind of the
world against him. So much so un
til some of the reputable journals
throughout the country are now re
fusing to print articles which excite
or intensity race hatred Any article
that has a tendency to intensity race
hatred does the country in general
more harm than good
There are certain conditions I'm this
country. however, in regard to which
the colored people feel perhaps more
sensitive because they believe that
if they were generally understood
those conditions would be remedied
For instance. in public places the
black man is not wanted, when there
is no excuse for barring him. The
uncertainty and constant fear OF
rebuff which a colored man expert
ences in this country is often more
humiliating and severe upon him
than the frank and impersonal dis
elimination which he encounters in
the south Is the colored man en-
titled to the treatment that he is re
ceiving?

of eliminating the colored soldiers
from the army. We are not at all
surprised to learn of such a move
ment against the colored soldiers, be-
cause, from the inception of the or

have heen the constant target of
petty prejudice.

The pictures are made on the
regular platino-bromide paper
and lack nothing but the pho
tosrapher's touching up OF the
negative, which often does as
much harm as good. They are
also made on prepared post
cards.
In its usual form the machine
is intended to be placed in pub
lie places, like those that deliver
candies, but it can also be used
without the device of dropping
money in the slot, and then the
mechanism can be set in motion
by simply pressing button.

~ contrived an improved
means of Aattening hui
man vanity, in the form of an
auto-photographic machine, with
whose aid the sitter can choose
hrs own pose and arrange his
own expression without the in
tervention of a third person.
All he has to do is to. place
himself on stool before the
machine, look into a mirror. fix
his hair and his necktie, and
graduate his smile to suit his
mood or his fancy, and then
drop a coin in a slot, or, if it is
private machine owned by him
self, touch a button, whereupon
the mechanism sets to work,
takes his photograph, develops
it, transfers it to a card, fixes it,
and, at the end of three minutes,
delivers the finished photograph,
in a permanent form, in a box at
the bottom of the apparatus, and
is ready for another pose.
The entire process is affected
by means of a system of electro
magnets, and nearly all the steps
are visible to the sitter, who can
amuse himself by remaining in
his chair and watching the oper-
