TYLER-FIGHTS TO BE ONE

Columbus, hio.-Ohio political
atmosphere was considerably
charged with excitement last
Thursday when Ralph W. Tyler
filed his petition to have his name
go on the ballot for delegaie-at
large to the Republican National
Convention Tyler's threat to be-
come a candidate, unless tle Bur.
ton managers consented to includ-
ing a colored man on their slate,
made some time ago, was regarded
as an idle statement. The man.
ayers were therefore surprise when
he qualified last Thursday and
now there is no way to prevent his
name going on the Republican
ticket 20 be voted for delegate-at.

this State to elect delegates-at

actual, voting representation in
the national convention. William
I'll. Lynch, leader in the Twelfth
Ward, and a hard campaigner, was
one of the first to assure Tyler of
his support. White daily papers
here are giving him support. As
surances to Tyler are coming in
from all over the State.
In State administration circles,
Tyler's candidacy is feared as one
having the tendency to lose the
governor q considerable colored
vote in the State, and conferences,
it is said, were held recently to
stem the tide. One difficulty en-.
countered, however, is that colored
men connected with the Willis Ad

go out and work openly against
Tyler's candidancy, for to do SC

IN A SPEECH TO KNIGHTS
OF COLUMBUS. ALL
WHITE AUDIENCE

Louisville. KY, March IA
most remarkable speech was made
in this city recently by Judge
Matt O'Doherty to the knights ot
Columbus.
1t was remarkable in that it was
made by white man to white
audi, nee, when neither the speak
er nor his hearers ever thought it
would reach the public press.
1t was remarkable in that it was
made by Democrat until recently

it was not made by a politician af-

Q A. alone aud unattended, nor
some white man "flling" colored

man to white men in the privacy of
their own club. Judge O'Doher,y
said:
"a Knight of Columbus should
not merely have the miud of a
Catholic but Catholic mind, free
from narrowpess and bigoiry of
any kind, but above all from race

St Louis, Mo.-At last st. Louis,
Republican city, has voted to segre-
gate colored people in separate blocks
from the whites, an ordinance having
been passed to the effect Tuesday
March Z, at a special election which
resulted in a vote of $4,000 for the
vicious measure and 1900 against.
For once the colored people of St
Louis, usually apathetic, have donned
fighting clothes and are determined
to fight this un-American ordinance
to the bitter end. They are united,
have funds and have already decided
to carry the question to the United
States Supreme Court for adjudica-
ton. A long fight is in prospect, with
the Negroes having every assurance
from legal authorities that the segre-
CATION measure will be declared in
valid in the higher courts.
About five years ago real estate
dealers began to agitate the question
of segregating colored people, and
with ample funds to create sentiment,
soon crystallized a sentiment in ia
vor of such a measure. At first an

Many Favoring Ordinance Do Not Own
Homes.
One of the features of the election
was that most of the whites voting
for segregation were not property
owners.
Two ordinances were voted upon,
one providing that a white person or
Negro cannot become resident in
a block occupied entirely by those of
the opposite race. The other imposes
the same restrictions on blocks where
75 per cent of one race live.
The ordinances become effective in
ten days unless an injunction is ap-
piled for, which is almost certainty
The question has arisen as to what
effect the adoption of both ordinances
would have, some attorneys holding
that there is a conflict between the
two. Other authorities, however, hold
that the more stringent one super
sedes the other.

Warm Weather Fine
For Late Fruits

Continued warm weather during the
first week In September has kept the
supply of fresh fruits and vegetables on
the market rather above the average
for this time of year. Grapes are be-
ginning to come from Albion and Its
vicinity, selling by the pound. The bas-
ket grapes will not be especially good
until later. Some few blueberries are
on the market at this time for those
who care for this fruit, which has to be
shipped in from some distance. Wis.,
consin and Michigan are the principal
producers, and local dealers do not
handle the blueberries in any great
quantity.
Sweet potatoes are as cheap or even
cheaper than the others at present, SELL
ing at six pounds for a quarter, while
Irish potatoes have gone UP to 81 a
bushel wholesale. Evergreen corn from
local fields is of fine quality just at
present, better than it has been at any
time this summer. Tomatoes are still
in good condition. and the last of the
Colorado peaches have proven Of very
fine quality. They have dropped slight
ly in price since last week. Utah
peaches, always in great demand for
canning, are reported short this, year
but what crop there is will be in next

Bio Profit in Munitions.

The Canadian Cartridge Company
has recently RENTED to the govern
ment the sum of S7S5.24S the profit on
the manufacture of 100000 eighteen
FOUNDER shell cases. The company
took contract at the pre- vailing price,
but promised to refund the difference
between the price paid and the actual
cost of manufacture. The difference
was covered by check for the sum
mentioned. This exhibition of prac-
teal patriotism incidentally throws
some light on the normal profits of
shell making.
