SIMPLE and insignificant as match
is, it's manufacture is a complicated and
elaborate process that can be carried
on commercially only by means OF a
succession of ingenius machines and de-
vices that must work at all times with
the utmost precision and delicacy. Re-
cent improvements in the process OF
making square matches makes it pos
sible to turn out matches from single
dipping machine at the rate of more
than 900, 900 an hour, and a green log
is made into matches and packed for
shipment in less than two hours.

In AN address before the American
Bar association in Washington recent
ly, ex-President Taft said: 81 want to
show young men the Sc canning absurd
ity of having weary armies of voters
tramping frequently to the polls-at
the call of would-be reformers a
struggle for incessant changes in the
laws. | want to emphasize the fact
that the doctrine of the initiative, re-
call of judges and of judicial decisions
is an evil thing | want to preach san
ity and sense" That's what 200, 600
or 300, 900 Wisconsin voters did at the
polls the other day.

IT HAS become clear that there was
unwarranted excitement over the furry
of "foot and mouth" disease among
cattle in Wisconsin. It is well to ham
die such matters vigorously, but unnec-
essary noise doesn't help the matter
any. The fact is the foot and mouth
disease is not native in Wisconsin and
is therefore easily weeded out. 1t
came from other states in the importa-
ton of cattle for feeding purposes and
from the Chicago show. The fact re-
mains that Wisconsin is without peer
in the health and vigor of it's livestock.

WELL, so far we have escaped war,
but not the war tax That's going to
hit us Dec 1st, and after that date if
YOU give a note, or sign deed, or re-
ceive telephone or telegraph message
or do sundry other things that are
carefully enumerated by Uncle Sam,
you'll have to run to the pOstoffice, buy
a revenue stamp of the value prescrib-
ed, affix it to the document, and cancel
it by writing your initials and the date
on the stamp, just as they used to have
to do, by jinks, in the days of 81 to
'65. No use kicking, either, Uncle
Sam is going to make you do it.. N

SEVERAL of the older counties of the
state have formed county development
associations. There is room for such
associations in all the counties of the
state. There is not q county in which
such an association, if properly officer
ed and awake to the situation, will not
find much to do. Not long ago Wal
worth county organized such an.asso-
citation and now Waupaca county has
done the same. One who drives through
the older counties of the state will find
that the roads need the attention of
such an rganization-for there are bad
portions that spoil days drive-Iittle
pieces here and there that could be
made good at a small expense. Then
there is the matter Of the improvement
OF stock, better cropping practices, CO.
operation in the construction of silos
and other farm structures, discussion
OF the many matters affecting better
home conditions on the farm. Call it a
development or improvement assOcia-
ton, but put life into it and it will pay.

AT THE convention of the American
Federation of Labor in Philadelphia
the United Brotherhood of Carpenters
demanded six-hour day in all trades
on the ground that the eight-hour day
is enervating and excessive. This
would seem to foreshadow time when
there will be a propaganda to secure
recognition of the proposition that all
work is deteriorating to the worker,
and that members of unions should be
guaranteed perpetual rest on full pay.

TIERS OF AFRICA SET UP BIG
COUNCIL IN KANSAS CITY.

Kansas City is now in complete
control of the Ancient United Knights
and Daughters of Africa This young
organization which was only chartered
in 1908 under the laws of Missouri,
bids fair to compete with the best
known societies. Last Monday night
at Castle Hall on Holmes street, the
largest gathering of prominent col,
ored people ever assembled in our city
was organized into the mysteries oi
this splendid race loving order, whose
constitution calls for race uplift and
race reciprocity. Mrs. Callie Diggs,
Past National Grand Treasurer and
Past Most Excellent Queen of the larg
est council in the United States, as
sisted by Mrs. Mollie Trowser, insti-
tuted the new council with this addi-
ton. Kansas City now has three
large councils in good working coud!-
ton Mrs. A. NJ. Harpole is the pre-
siding officer of East British; Mrs.
Amanda Harper, M0nrovia; Mrs.
Trowser of Midwest. National
Grand Master VIM. H. Fields from ST.
Louis, assisted by VIM. H. King, Ma
tional Deputy Grand Master and Edi-
tor of the Central Afro-American, gave
the Grand Council Degrees. Miss Ma
mie Allen, member of East British,
and Geo. Walker, were present. to
help the good work. Prof. ]. C. Hobbs,
Field Deputy, announced that there
would be two more ready in ten days.
After the setting up there was an ele-
giant repast served and all went home
feeling they had done some good work
for their race by adding their names
to this great order.
On his way home the National
Grand Master will set up a council
at Huntsville, Mo-, Saturday night,
and at st. Louis Monday night.

USE NEGROES IN MEXICO.
Superintendent Greenwood's Sugges-
tion to President Wilson.

Following is copy of letter that
was mailed yesterday by ]. NJ. Green
wood, superintendent of instruction,
to President Wilson:
To the President, Executive Mansion,
Washington, D. c.;
In case of war between the United
States and Mexico l most respectful
ly invite your attention to the i'm
portance of calling for 100 or $50
regiments of Negro soldiers to be mus
tered in, armed and equipped, and
properly differed by both white and
Negro officers, to act as a constabu-
larry force in preserving order in that
unhappy country until some legally
constituted government can be es-
tablished that will protect life and
property. In this connection l deem
it unnecessary to offer any argument
in favor of such policy.
AS a citizen of the United States /
most sincerely hope that war and its
horrible calamities may be averted,
but in case of open hostilities, the
necessity of placing large body Of
Negro soldiers in that country to
preserve order, would be one of the
greatest object lessons that can be
given not only to the Mexicans them
selves, but to the civilized world
Your most obedient servant.

4oN MEN oE ETHIOPIA. .

By Chas A. Starks.
On Men of Ethopial Sound the dire
alarms;
Move on to that place which yol
yourself must carve
Take unto your hearts the Truth that
warns,
And feed the famished lcnging
which others would starye.
Be never content with any second
place;
Heirs of immortality, accept moth
inp less.
If you are men, then you are not a
despised race,
But mighty in right and laughing in
distress.
On Men of Ethiopia! Be men in every
line,
Seek always that mind which is of
God;
This heritage is yours by right Di
vine,
Remember this Truth as you val
iantly trod.
Beaming with brightness Ethopia''
undimmed star,
Lights the sable night with its ce
lestial ray;
'Tis big with hope, near when seem
ing afar,
Visible in the darkest hour-hidins
in the day.

Rablldralath FagOTe
(By w. E. Griffen.)

Perhaps the chief public interest in
Fagore centers is the fact that in
1913 he was awarded the noble prize
for creative idealistic literature. This
great honor is in itself most notable
achievement involving not only sub
stantial financial rewards, but bringing
to it's recipient an international fame
limited only by the confines of the
civilized world. But possibly more
important still is the fact that al
though those prizes have been period
ically awarded since 1901 no member
of any of the darker races has hither-
to won one of them. All of the noble
prizes have hitherto gone to the white
race. The East Indian Fagore is the
first representative of the dark skin
ned races to achieve this particular
form of recognition of creative gen
ius. Fagore is emphatically a child
of the Orient, and an intellectual de-
scendant of the Ancient Hind. He is
voice from the tomb of the past, yet
fresh and vital in its message of ex-
uberant joy and abounding hope.
Fagore embodies the spirit and has
mastered the form of that ancient
monumental literature which even
four thousand years ago was old in
story and tradition, history and song
Those who have enjoyed the pleasure
of perusing Anvient Vedic poems, the
Mahabarata, and other rich remains
of that venerable Sanskrit literature
which was ripe with age before the
literatures of Europe were born, those
persons have felt that never again
should civilization witness poetry sc
exalted or a philosophical theology sc
profound.
But now comes. Rabindranath Fa
| gore, the modern-ancient writing II
the same spirit, master of the same
form. Fagore is both poet and
philosopher. A philosopher because
he deduces the ultimate purpose o
creative life, poet because he clear
ly perceives that truth and beauty
are one. With him truth is beauty il
its ultimate aspect, whilst beauty is
the soul in song of rhapsody. He see;
He sees nature as a sympolic realm
whose changing scenes and visible
forms proclaim a master drama which
must eliminate in oneness with thu
Divine mind; but also as system o
harmonies and rhythms, an infinit.
of lyric dreams and dancing phan
tastes, whose united music swells en-
trancingly. embodying the epic sons
of the world. Fagore is the poet oi
J life as well as of nature. He is the
poet of hope and love, and of that
divine passion which sweeps through
the soul in a song of rhapsdy. He sees
also the shadows and tragedies. He
believes in the immortality of those
spiritual things which we weakly sym
bolize in our actions-which we try
to express, but find them dying on
our lips. He believes in the exaltation
of life, in the appropriation to and
for life of all truth and beauty, and
in weaving these essences and ideals
into the very tissue of the soul.
