WATER TOYS OF THE EAST
Ingenious in the Extreme Are the Corr
trivances Devised for the Amuse-
ment of the Youngsters.

Europe and America turn out for
their children many ingenious toys.
but they do not compare in ingenuity
with the strange expanding water toys
with which the children of the far
East have amused themselves for GEN.
turtles.
These curious toys are placed in
small wooden boxes, similar to the lit
tie paint boxes often seen in our own
country. They have the appearance Of
soiled shavings, broken matches and
dilapidated toothpicks, but when
thrown into the water the ingenious
playthings at once exhibit properties
that show them to be more than mere
toys or bits of stick.
The wood of these toys have been
kiln dried, and Immediately it touches
the water 1t begins to absorb the water
and to expand almost indefinitely. AS
1t increases in size it separates and
suddenly opens. becoming very pref
ty toy. One stick will change into a
flower pot, containing rose bush in
full bloom. Another becomes a fat
mandarin carrying an umbrella, Still
another will take the form a a sea
serpent, very ferocious in it's tiny di-
mansions. Then, too, there are toys
which show as whales, tigers, croco-
dies, etc. The figures are colored, and
present bewilderfng variety in de-
sign and treatment Their manufac-
ture is trade secret kept by the
guild that turns them out by the thou
sands
For older children there are provid-
ed larger and even more artistic fig
ures, consisting of historical charac-
tiers, rulers, poets and soldiers, and
dwarfed trees and tiny houses, whose
doors and windows are full of inmates,
are also among this class. The more
ordinary kind cost mere song, but
the finer toys are quite expensive.

COMMENT

The election of Mayor Rolph at
the primary was splendid testi
monial to a conscientious executive
who has done much for the city,
The result was also gratifying as
showing that the citizens have a
proper conception Of civic duty by
RELOCATING to obscurity the preten-
sions Of Eugene Schmitz.
That the criminal activities of
the race are receiving too much
prominence in this State is to be
regretted, and we all know that it
only needs a spark to arouse the
demon of race hatred. when the
splendid record our race have made
in this State as aw-abiding citizens
would count for naugbt with the
mob Something should be done
to curb this criminal element or we
will all suffer.

MAYOR THOMPSON'S APPOINTMENTS

CHICAGO TRIBUNE, SEPT. I6
Speaking last night at the Coli
scum at the half. century celebration
of Negro freedom, Mayor William
Hale Thompson defended his course
in appointing Negroes to high posi-
tons in the city's service. He
promised the big assemblage that
as mayor of CHICAGO the Negro race
would receive square deal from
him. He gave the following three
reasons for making such appoint
ments:
First-Because the person. APP
pointed was qualified for the place.
Second-Because, in the name of
humanity, it is my duty TO do what
| can TO elevate rather than degrade
any class of American citizens.
Third = Because / am under obli-
cation to this people for continued
friendship and confidence while l
have been in this community.
Applying this position, the
mayor said:
Il know that in some quarters l
have been criticized severely for
appointing few representative
Negro citizens to positions of trust,
honor, and dignity. | am glad to
take the full responsibility and the
honor for making every one of the
appointments, and | want to ask
my critics to be as manly and come
out into the open light of day with
their un- American sentiments.
Before attacking his critics who
complain of his appointments of
Negroes to city hall positions, the
mayor reviewed the history of the
Negro race in the United States,
paying them a high tribute, and
severely denounclng exploitation of
Negro crimes in the South, while
remaining silent on the great strides
by the black man.
His appointments were of Rev.
A. ]. Carey and Attorneys Louis
Anderson and Edward Wright.

Philadelphians Fight Separate School,

A number of prominent colored
Philadelphians have organized to
fight against the movement which
they fear will result in separate
schools for colored pupils. The
citizens, headed by DR.. F. Mossell,
have issued report accusing the
board of education of violating the
school law by discriminating against
colored people. Two colored chill
dren had their feet frozen last
winter because they had 10 walk a
mile and half to reach the colored
school at Frankfort.
The action of the board in ad-

as un-Christian, un American, and
unjust. The Durham school at

DECLARES DIXON HELPS LYNcHINds
iBOSToN GUARDIAN. |

Declaring belief in Leo Franks
innocence. and emphasizing the
supreme menace of lynch law in all
liberty. whether of press, pulpit. or
business, Rev. DR.. Conrad OF Park
street church, on Sunday night,
preached on the majesty of the law
and its defiance by Marietta mob.
He said
LEO Frank was taken from the
prison by high minded citizens
God save the mark They are
murderers of the rankest ,type!
He granted them no excuse in
their alleged necessity of appealing
to lynch law to preserve the honor
of their women. Recalling more
recent lynching in Texas for mule
stealing, he said:
AS we'll might Texas say that
It is for the honor of mules that we
have hung these men"
DR.. Conrad quoted figures show
ing that from 1882 to 1903, there
were 1857 lynchings in Southern
States, compared with 632 in the
West, and 100 in the East. The
cause for this, he said, was bred in
the Ku Klux spirit Landed i'll "Tne
Birth of Nation" This spirit he
termed the most damnable curse i'll
the history of the nation, and said
that SO long as it glorifes infamy
it is enough to damn it forever.
DR.. Conrad said that the only
adequate remedy for lynch law is
to make lynching a federal crime.
When it becomes a crime against
the United States and the constitu-
ton for group of private men to
take the execution of the law into
their own hands, then the federal
government can stamp out this
curse, unhampered by local con-
ditions and prejudices.

DIR. CREDIT RESIGNS

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 2o.-Per-
haps nothing in the history of the
Cherry street Baptist church has
created greater excitement than the
incident which occurred on Sunday
last, when Rev. Vim. H. Credit
rendered his resignation. Conster
nation prevailed, aud many sat
amazed, since no inkling was given
in advance that the man who had
been pastor Of the church eighteen
years was to tender his resignation.
1t is said that there was a slight
friction between the pastor aud the
board of deacons for some time. No
one thought. however, it would
reach so serious a climax. After
reading his resignation DR. Credit
Immediately retired, saying
Il dou't want to hear from any
one of you at all, and erase my
name from the cornerstone. This
expression added to the amazement
OF the congregation. The church
is one of the oldest and largest of
the Baptist denomination. Its
property at the corner Of Sixteenth
and Catherine streets is estimated
to be worth 500, 900. Many of
the members were indignant over
the manner of DR.. Credits abrupt
resignation.
