GIVES CREDIT TO SMITH
FOR ORIGINATING THE COTTON
FUTURE AMENDMENT.
Representative Lever Generously Ac-
know Lodges That Features of Meas
ure Came From Junior Senator.


South Carolina figured conspicu-
ously in the lively struggle in the
House OF Representatives Tuesday
night over the Clarke cotton futures
amendment to the tariff bill, for
which the lower chamber substituted
the Smith-Lever proposition. The
Democratic floor leader, Mr.. Under
weed, made a statement declaring
that the first he had ever heard OF
the principles embodied in the sub
stitute was when Senator S:utih, OF
South Carolina. introduced last year
a bill OF which they they were the
feature. Mr. Underwood announced
that he would give all Of his time IN
the debate over the Smith-LeVer
amendment to Representative A. +.
Lever.
The chairman of the committee on
agriculture made clear and strong
soeech in behalf of the substitute
and took occasion to say that while
the measure just introduced by Mr..
Underwood. and directly approved by
President Wilson, was drawn at his
(Nr. Lever's) suggestion, after con-
ferences with experts and consulta-
ton with the Secretary Of Agricul-
ture and the Postmaster General, a
bill embodying the fundamental prin-
c:p!es OF the House substitute for the
Clarke amendment was introduced
last year IN the Senate by "a man
who has given not one day or one
year, but twenty years to the study
of this subject, the junior Senator
from South Carolina, Senator Smith.
The South Carolina delegation vot-
ed en- masse for the Smith-Lever
amendment. All were present, ez-
cept Mr.. Finley, who was paired.
The Republicans threw their strength
almost solidly on the side OF the
Clarke amendment, hoping to embar-
rass the Democrats. and came near
succeeding. 1t is tie opinion OF the
shrewdest observer. that the day was
saved by the authoritative announce
ment that President Wilson was in
favor of the Smith-Lever amendment.
Now the whole cotton futures subject
will very likely go over to the next
session.

Throwing the Negro Overheard.

When the Republicans of the great
State of New York in their conven-
ton recently approved the plan to
"revise the basis of representation IN
national conventions" they deliber-
ately abandoned the colored people
at the South, who have been blind
followers Of the "grand old party"
since freedom came i'm. The Re
publicans call it progress, but 1t IS
nothing but cowardly desertion OF
the colored man and brother, who Is
practically told that he is no longer
needed and must go.
The New York Republicans offer
ed no objection to full Southern rep
resentation in their national conVen-
tions when the negroes lately freed
from slavery were in the ascendency,
as the New York World points out.
Nor were they opposed to big delega-
tions from the South when the thieV-
ing carpetbaggers were in control OF
this section. But now they turn up
on the Southern colored man and.
cast him politically adrift because
they say he can furnish no electoral
votes.
When the Jacobins, headed by
Charles Sumner and other bitter enc
mics of the PROSTATE South, gave cit
izenship to the lately emancipated
slaves right after the War Between
the North and South, they persuaded
their fellow partizans that by that
act they guaranteed their power.
Sumner and his fellow conspirators
against the white people OF the South
have been dead for thirty or more
wears, but, as the World says, the
poor remnants of their bodies are in
no more pronounced decay at this In
slant than their theory that racial
and social distinctions could be wiped
out by legislation.
The decision of the New York Re
rublicans to restrict representation
in their national conventions to votes
actually cast amounts to approval OF
the notification by the Southern
states of the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments, two war measures. The
New York Republicans say the dis
franckised colored man of the South
is to have no voice even in the grand
council of the party which boasts that
it conferred upon him freedom and
the ballot. What will the negroes
who in normal times give the Repub-
licans their majorities in various i'm
portant Northern States say to this
proposition? asks the World.

Captain of Vessel Runs Dominican
Blockade at Puerta Plata.

CAPTAIN OF feSSel nuns Doiuld1cah
Blockade at Puerta Plata.
Capt. Carey, Of the steamer Semi
mole, which arrived in New York
Thursday night from Dominican
ports, told OF his recent blockade
running experiences due to the reVo-
luton now going on in Santo Domin-
go. He said that as he had no arms
or ammunition in his cargo for the
government forces and was flying the
American flag, he did not see why he
should not enter Puerta Plata, which
was blockaded by two Dominican
gunboats. He steamed right in, and,
although nearly a dozen shots were
fired by the gunboats, none OF them
took effect. When the inner harbor
was reached the Seminole found the
United States cruiser Des Moines ly-
ing at anchor and no further trouble
was encountered there.

CONVICTS BUILD PRISON
UNITED STATES SAVES MILLIONS
BY THEIR LABOR.
Military Prisoners at Fort LeaVen-
worth Are Taught Trades and Will
be Given a Chance.

Federal prisoners at Fort Leaven-
worth, Kan, have completed the con-
struction of the finest penitentiary in
the United States. Five years ago
the government made an appropria-
ton Of S643,000 for the project. It
is declared the new structure would
have cost the government 100000,
but for the material assistance Of Col.
Thomas H. Slavens, commandant Of
the United States Military prison at
the fort.
The completion Of the new build
ings will mark complete change in
the character of the military prison.
Instead Of making convicts of army
deserters and petty offenders, Uncle
Sam is going to try new plan. There
is entirely too much soldier material
wasted by the old system. Uncle Sam
is going to conserve this by giving
deserters chance to get back into
the ranks, through the reformatry,
and clear their records.
The labor on the new buildings
was the easiest problem for Col.
slavens. Confined in the prison were
men from every walk of life, brick
layers, stone-masons, plumbers, mill
workers and laborers. Those who
knew no trade were given instruction
in performing the work Of ordinary
laborers. There are now $50 prison
ers, most of them army deserters,
and 800 of these were employed on
the construction proper.
In addition to the work on the
prison, which consisted of quarrying
in the prison quarries, crushing
stone, mixing concrete, and other
work that goes with the erection OF
fine buildings, prisoners assist in the
construction of roads, the rreserVa-
ton Of forest lands, till the soil on
the prison farm and work In CLOTH
ing shops were clothing is made for
the prisoners. The prison is built OF
concrete blocks, with individual cells
fitted with electric lights, toilets and
other conveniences. There is an
auditorium that will seat 1900 and
a dining room that will seat the same
number. An artist is now painting
scenery for the prison stage.
