A Cry Of Distress.

The Carlisle (Ky.) Advocate publishes
the following appeal of Belle Greene, col
ored, "To the Good Citizens of Nicholas
County and Carlisle:
As mother whose only boy was cruelty
murdered lately ina blind tiger of Henry
vile, beg for the protection of the other
boys and girls growing up-we are only
colored people, but most Of US are trying
to raise our children right, and are abiding
by the laws. We have had five
murders in year in these blind tigers
That shows Nicholas County in bad light,
when we know the officers have it in their
power to break these dens up if they would
we are powerless in their hands, but if they
had suffered like some of US, it would not
take them long to close these blind tigers
up, which are doing so much toward de-
stroying our race, body and soul. Won't
you help us?"
"Scratch Russian and you will find a
Tartar!" Coral a negro blind tiger any
where-from Kentucky to Louisiana-and
you will generally find that the endless
chain will lead to the white mans place OF
business. Belt the tree and the branches

GREATEST OF ALL AMERICANS"

Washington, Feb. 12.-This day, the
105th anniversary of Lincoln's birth, was
chosen forthe breaking of the ground from
which the So 100000 structure will rise as
rapidly as the contractors can push the
work Only small group gathered to
witness the significant event. Joseph c. S.
Blackburn, former Senator from Kentucky,
was the first to sink a spade into the ground,
and then, with uncovered head, he spoke
in high praise of the memory of the Pres
ident against whom he fought half CEN
turv ago "This memorial will show that
Lincoln is now regarded as the greatest of
all Americans" said Senator Blackburn,
"and that he is 80 held by the South as
we'll as the North. "-Ne,cs Item.
Such language, coming from Confed-
crate veteran, "makes US tired.'' While
we have the highest regard for Senator
Blackburn, we must protest against his
utterances as the sentiments OF great
majority of the Confederates of the South
and their descendants. who regard Robert
+. E. Lee and Jefferson Davis as "the great
est of all Americans With large pro-
portion Of humanity, it is true, there is
nothing that succeeds like success" But
let US be just to our friends before being
generous to our enemies. Had Davis and
Lee had at their command the men and
means that were lavishly furnished Lincoln
and Grant, the results of the Confederate
War would have been different, and these
Northern idols would to-day be 'unwept,
nnhonored and unsung." Success ever is
the test Of worth with the camp follower.
He cannot see beyond the lure OF the pork
barrel, SO the world falls over itself in it's
worship of the man who succeeds (partic-
ularly when that success is gratifying to
its hatred) no matter whether its hero is
one of real worth or accident. But the
s'the old time Confederate has never
wavered these long years in devotion to
his cause and in his love and admiration
for his leaders, and, "by the eternal" he
has always believed that his leaders (God
bless them) were the superiors in states
manship and generalship and Christian
manhood of those of any nation under the
sun. Lincoln "the greatest of all Ameri-
cans!" Shades of Washington, Jefferson,
jackson and Franklin! Can such decla-
ration be made "and overcome us like a
summers cloud and not excite our special
wonder?o

girls in the course of her career. She
served thirty one years as first assistant to

The Wealth Of Alaska.

New Orleans Picayune.l
AS the United States Senate has passed
bill which will easily go through the
House of Representatives and is known to
be desired by the President, appropriating
forty million dollars to build government
railroad in Alaska, it is well to have some
information concerning that country.
The Territory of Alaska has an area OF
500, 1884 suuare miles, or one-ffth that of
the United States proper. Its extreme
length is 100 miles, and its extreme
breadth is 800 miles. In 1910 the popula-
ton was GA, 456, of whom about $4,000 are
whites.
Since 1880 Alaska has produced almost
$500, 00O,0 900 in gold, copper, fish and furs,
and of this 1912. 1855, 727 was in virgin gold
from placer and lode mines.
In 1912 Alaska's fisheries produced cam
ned and mild-cured salmon to the value of
SIG, 459, 036. The copper mines of the ter
ritory yielded a product worth S4,823, 031.
There was more than S38, 900, 900 of indus
trial products in single year.
There are above II 100000 acres of
known coal lands in Alaska, with proba-
bility that the area is much greater. OF
these claimants have entered upon $4,000
acres and made bona fide efforts to obtain
the title by paying in the statutory $40 per
acre.
The population is $4,000, whites, Eski-
mos and Indians. 1t is evidently one OF
the richest parts of this country, although
situated largely in the Arctic regions.

The business of fooling all the people all
the time continues whenever a legislature
meets.
There is bill now in the Mississippi
legislature providing for the appointment
of great number of coal oil inspectors.
These inspectors will get fee for every
gallon of oil they inspect.
It is urged that the cost of the inspection
will rest upon the oil trust. AS matter
of fact it will not rest upon the oil trust
nor upon the we'll to do of the cities. It will
rest upon the fellow living in the country
and the poor men in the village who burn
coal oil in lamps.
The inspection fee will be added to the
price of the oil. The consumers will pay it,
while about 100 inspectors do nothing but
inspect and talk politics.
The inspectors will not improve the
quality Of the oil offered for sale. It will
be an additional tax on the consumer and
will give about 100 people jobs as loafers
who ought to be in some gainful pursuit,
such as farming rbuilding roads, Menu

He'll and destruction are before the Lord:
how much more then the hearts of the

To deliver thee from the way of the evil

who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the
