BIG ROLLER COASTER BUILT
Thrilling Dips and Dives at Great Min
nesota State Fair.

Did you ever take ride on a big
roller coaster about half a mile long
and find yourself fairly gasping fol-
breath, though thrilled by pleasure, as
you made the deep dips and sharp
turns? If you have experienced the
sensation you know why some persons
are 80 crazy about it that they refuse
to get of until they have taken dozen
rides or more.
A gigantic roller coaster has been
erected at the Minnesota State Fair
Grounds this summer that is said to
be one OF the largest ever built in the
Middle .West.rsH will please thousands
at the Fair, SEPT. 7-12 A cable car
ries the two-seated car to the top,
which is so high that view of all the
grounds is Afforded. Then the car is
suddenly released, and a long deep din
Is taken that leaves a great empty
space in your stomach. You shoot up
hill, take sharp turn, another dip,
dozen more ascents, dips, and dives,
and back you are again ready for an
other ride.
Near the coaster a big Carousell,
similar to several merry-gorounds put
together, is being built that will prove
to be an attraction of considerable i'm
portance. It is to be a permanent
structure. Going?

Gals who are all interested in the
question express little faith in the
claim of the Anti Saloon league that
Minnesota's next legislature will be
for County Option. One official ex-
pressed his view by saying that for
ten years, preceding every election,
the league has made similar claims
and that the results have never APP
preached the boasts.
Attorney r. w Zollman, who has
followed conditions closely for several
years, says that the leagues claim
this year differs from its predeces-
sors only in the fact that it is more
cunningly devised and that, like those
OF the past, it is covert appeal to
the men. women and children. to turn
their dollars, half-dollars, quarters and
dimes into the capacious NAV Of the
league, and to attempt to start a band
wagon movement. Mr.EZOllman said:
Il have sufficient knowledge of con-
ditions to know that. the fairsminded
people of the state will hold both the
Senate and House in line against the
un-Amerscan doctrine of one-sided
County Option-a subterfuge whereby
Incense communities can be made pro-
hibition through the interference of
outside prohibition communities, while
prohibition communities can maintain
prohibition without the interference
OF any other community - ,--..-ss.sz -.

Surrendered Rights Never Regained.
(Martinsburg Pioneer Press.)

\MarImSDure PlOneer PreSS.)
Editor Dabney, of the Cincinnati,
Ohio Union, like Hon. H. C. Smith of
the old reliable Gazette of Cleveland,
is up in arms against sprouting caste
in his city. Right you are, that rights
surrendered are seldom regained.
Your contention that few teachers
salaries amount to nothing compared
to the cowardlessness of the men and
women mixed schools give us is true
Our early life was spent in the schools
of Chicago, never sitting by the side
of children of darker color. Leaving
that city and going south to teach,
about ten years later we returned to
Chicago and going to the Appellate
Court, found our class and seat mate,
Mr.. Frank Lane, head clerk over more
than hundred clerks. We embraced
each other and before all of the clerks
he wept with joy and said to his first
assistant:-"Take my place, for John
and l are going to paint the old town
red today" He got his buggy and
took us over all of our prank grouno-,
and O! what a time we had that day.
One of the old teachers threw her
arms around us, and many of the then
boys were then men in various kinds
of business and all greeted US, and
Mrs. Curtin, one of the noblest and
sweetest women Chicago ever owned.
and for whom the whole city mourned
by order of authority, wept. and
greeted us as mother would her

schools, for there is no color in heaven

that God had decreed slavery as a
great benefit to the poor benighted
Africans" ls
At the present time alleged Christ
ians are mountaineering Afro-Ameri-
cans, putting them out of their church
es, segregating them in certain cities,
building jimcrow Y. M. c. AS, forcing
the race into jimcrow schools, jimcrow
cars, jimcrow public libraries, jim
crow public parks. Southern Chris
tan CD legislators disfranchise the
race and pass all sorts of discriminate
inng laws. When called to account
for their unchristian actions they bold
ly claim that it was decreed by God
that the races should be separate in
all things. The idea that certain
classes wronged other classes by d.
vine right may have been believed in
the Middle Ages but the people do not
swallow such dope nowadays.

The Reason Why.
(Afr0-Amarican I.adpar

One of the reasons why the South
is in its present backward condition
is because the white people of the
South pay more attention to trying to
keep the Afro-American in "his place."
whatever that may be, instead of try
ing to make progress and have the
colored man to assist him in doing
so. We are creditably informed that
Wilmington, N. c., has been falling
back in the race ever since that riot
took place which drove from it large
element of, its very best and most
progressive colored people It has
lost it's standing as the first city of
the old Tar Heel State, and is COM
PEELED to take second or even third
place.

ABILITY CAUSES RACE HATRED.

A novel explanation of the Russian
dislike for the Jew has been given by
Count Alexander Scherbatskoy, coun
cillor of the Russian embassy in Wash
ington.
The count said that Russians object
ed to Jews because they were more
capable than the Russians and not be-
cause they were of different race and
faith.
There is not much difference be-
tween the Jewish question in Russia
and the Japanese question in Califor:
nia,' he declared. "The Californians
know the Japs are more clever than
they are. The Russians know that
they can not compete with the Jews.
Their fear of the Jews is based on eco
nomic considerations"

crimes in the dark history of Russia

from st. Petersburg, telling of three
Russian youths having outraged and
then crucif1ed the daughter Of poor
Jewish fisherman in Stavrapol, on the
Volga. 70 s-'
After outraging the young girl, the
dispatch declares, the three youths
dragged her to cemetery, where they
nailed her to a cross above one of
the Graves. Nails we're driven through
her hands and feet and even through
her eyes. The three murderers were
arrested, but their friends in the town
released them and they escaped, it is
asserted.
