keeping steady company with a young
man for FIVE years and have been en-.
gagged to him for two months. We
never had a quarrel until last night
He is very angry because another
young man brought me home from
choir practice one night last week.
Should / marry a man with such dis
position?
C2) Ny cousin was here last week
and I went to the show with him and
this also angered my fiancee. Do you
think if he really loved me he would
be so jealous? N. H.
My dear girl. the common saying Is
that there can be no love without
jealousy. / like better to say, there
can be no jealousy without love. It
Is a kind of love, however, that lacks
trust Just as soon as there is com
plete trust jealousy disappears. Many
men are Jealous before marriage who
never think of such thing afterward
Try and make the young man see that
You are trustworthy and that it is an
insult TO doubt your constancy.

VISALrA TIMES, MAY L, IoI5
w. H. Dotson, the Negro con-
stable of Allensworth, broke into
the jail records yesterday. not by
being incarcerated in that iustitu-
ton, but that he lodged his first
man in a term of Office covering a
number Of years. The man was
Robert Rooves, who rebbed the
Hindman store at Allensworth on
Thursday night of groceries, cheap
jewelry and clothing.
Acting under instructions from
the sheriff, Dotson got on the trail
of his man, and despite Indictment
weather and the fact that all traces
of his leaving the village had been
obliterated by the heavy rain of the
previous night, he stuck to the job
until he landed his man, late in the
afternoon, plodding along the road
north of Allensworth.
The stolen goods were in pack
slung across Reeves's shoulders
When arrested he made full con-
fession to the officer. He said he
had no confederate in the affair.

Brc VICTORY WON IN OHIO

COLUMBUS. O., April 27.-The
colored people of Ohio won big
victory last week in securing the
adoption in the Ohio Senate of an
amendment which prevents in
Justice to the race. Gov. Willis
deserves the thanks Of the race for
his manly insistence that no dis
criminatory laws must be passed III
Ohio. The obnoxious Platt- Ellis
bill, which in its original form
would have perhaps driven out OF
business every coloied chiropodist
and masseur in the State, was
amended so as to exclude from
taking the examination such as
have teen practicing for FIVE years.
The Wickliue election bill. which
required that voters declare their
color when registering, was amend
ed to strike out the word color. :
Colored people made determined
fight against both the bills in their
original form. carried the fight up
to the governor, and he stood man
fully by the race.
The action Of the governor or
these two bills, his compelling the
Ohio board OF censors to Withdraw
the permit given for the photo-pl
of {. The Niger and his further
assurance that THE Clansman >
shall not have permit TO show in
Ohio, have endeared him to every
colored person in the State, and
made them know that Ohio now
has governor who will not permit
any injustice to the race.

An incident. unlocked for and
unexpected. happened last week
and caused much unrest in the Office
of Mayor James Rolph. A big job
of printing had beeu placed with
downtown firm, and in sending for
the stock which awaited the printer
at the mayors office, a note was
given to the man sent after the
same containing the line:
See Graney OF the coon.
By the latter was meant Leonard
Harris. usher Of the office, and by
chance the note got into his hands,
although after the sergeant of police
OH duty had given the desired stock
to the messenger who called for it.
Mr.. Harris got busy at once,
reported The insult 10 Mayor Rolph
and Secretary Graney and they told
the printer that he had insulted the
Office. and they would stand for no
such slurs. They demanded full
apology in writing, and Mr.. Printer
had the fact thoroughly impressed
upon his mind that if he wanted to
do any work FROM that Office all
attaches of the same must be treated
as gentlemen, which they are
Leonard Harris is much pleased
at the prompt manner i'll which bis
case was handled, and feels thai
Mayor Rolph is not only first
class man, but furthermore that
there is not a prejudiced bone il
his body. In these times of doubt
when there are SO many who lack
the moral courage TO stand up fol
right and justice. We are pleased tc
have 60 down on record the above
to the credit of James Rolph, mayor
of San Francisco.
