SUBSTITUTE FOR
 GERMAN DYE FOUND
Osage Orange, Available in U. S.,
 Can Replace Imported ColorS

New York, Sept 14.-The first part of the United States government exhibit at the chemical exposition tc be held next week in the Grand Gen. tral Palace reached here yesterday It consists of four big cases filled with interesting exhibits of the work of the federal forest service. The items that go to make up the collec- ton had not all been listed last night, but Dr. Thomas H. Norton, the de- partment of commerce expert who is studying dyestuffs and potash con- ditons at the custom house, an- nounced that a new American natural dye, osage orange. was included in the shipment.
 Osage orange promises to be one of the few natural dyes that will be able permanently to compete with the anil line colors which we have had to buy from Germany. Made from wood obtainable in Texas and Oklahoma, it is really not an orange but a yellow shade, and a substitute for fustic. This country can furnish from 10000 to 50,o0O tons of orange a year. it Is computed, and deliver it f. o. b. at Atlantic ports for $10 to $14 a ton, as against SIS to $2O a ton for fustic before the war. An additional han cicap on fustic is its present war price, which is nearly double the nor nal. The supply of osage orange available is more than double this country's consumption of fustic.
 Among visitors at the custom house yesterday were men interested in forming several new companies for the manufacture of aniline, the basis of most dyes. The factories are in erection at Stamford, Conn.,, and else where on the outskirts of New York Dr. Norton said that therc would be no announcement of names and de- tails until the factories are ready for operation.
 That America can be entirely in- dependent of foreign countries for dyestuffs and potash will be shown at the exposition. For years a few American manufacturers, full of faith, have been developing a coal tar dye industry here in competition with the Germans.
 The exposition was organized and managed by Adrian Nagelvoort with the assistance of Charles F. Roth, former chief chemist of the Standard Oil company. The bureau of com mercial economies of Washington has arranged an extensive and educative program of motion pictures showing chemical processes, which will be shown continuously in hall set apart for the purpose.

The Hayti herald. (Hayti, Mo.) 1908-1922, 1915-11-25

The revival of business and the
prospect of period of unprece-
dented prosperity for this coun.
try, is making the G. o. p. leaders
wear mighty long face. Strange
as it may seem, it is nevertheless
true, that there is nothing the
Republicans hate worse to see
than prosperity under Demo-
cratic rule. Most of them had
rather go half starved and half
naked while Democrats are in
power than to have good times.
1T matters not how high priced
and how prosperous everything
is, the Republicans talk nothing
but'hard times" and predict the
country is going to ruin" And
why? No answer is needed. But
it is this: They have controlled
this country so long they have
come to think they have a divine
right to rule.
The Hayti herald. (Hayti, Mo.) 1908-1922, 1915-11-25

The Republicans say they are
going to win the national election
in 1916, but they are merely
whistling to keep up their cour-
age. They have no candidate
with whom they have a ghost of a
show to win, and they very well
know it People like Uncle Joe
Cannon, who have always believed
providence to be oil the side of
the Republican party, expect
something prOvidential to turn up
between this time and next June,
when candidates are to be nomi,
mated, but God is apparently as
indifferent to the plight of the
Republican party as He is to the
needs OF the various armies in
Europe. Mr.. Taft says Mr.. Root
can be elected, but back of that
pleasantly is Taft's hope that

BOOKER T. WASHINGTON.

The news of the death of Booker T.
Washington, the noted negro educator,
will be heard with regret by both the
white and black race. He was ranked
as one of the leading men of the ma
tion. charlottesville Republican.
If the Republican had said
Booker Washington was the
leading negro Of the nation" it's
statement would have been cor
rect. Booker was the leading
negro of his race, made so by the
gratuitous aid he received from
the whites: but he never claimed
for himself to be lone of the
leading men of the nation" claim
ing which would have been seek
ing equality with Americas fore
most white men, place he never
sought for himself, and which he
advised his race was beyond
their hope of attainment. Know.
ing his place and keeping it is
what made Booker a leader and
famous. His head was never
turned by the cheap twaddle of
a certain class of whites who
considered him their equal, and
which he, perhaps, was, and
knew it. Not but once did Booker
so far forget as to put himself in
a position of the white mans
equal, and that was when he ac.
cepted an invitation to dine with
President Roosevelt, and this, it
is said, he regretted ever after
wards, the unpleasant notoriety
growing out of same proving an
impeachment to his usefulness.
But there is yet a certain class
of people who think the negro
the equal of the white man, but
those people are not the negroes
best friends.
