WILSON DIsHoNoRED DEAD
HEROES.

When the white marines we're killed
Brooklyn to attend the funeral and
spoke with utmost feeling of the flag
of the country for which they had
given their lives. But when the col
ored troopers of the famous Tenth
cavalry, fighting against overwhelm-
ing odds, displaying heroism seldom
equaled, died for the same flag and
the same country at Carrizal, and
their remains were brought to Wash
ington for interment at Arlington, the
president was conspicuous by his alb
sence. He was asleep in the White
House and did not desire to be dis
turbed.
In spite of all this, the Democratic
party is asking Negroes to vote for
Mr.. Wilson. In spite of the discrim-
nations and humiliations that have
been heaped upon their race by them,
from the Negro voters to gain re-elec-
ton.
1t cannot be that any Negro voter
could be so destitute of self-respect
as to cast his vote for Democrat at
this election, in the face of the treat
ment his race has received at the
hands of that party from the presidest
down to the petty officers of the gov.
ernment.
| There is no such thing in existence
| as a Negro Democrat Negroes are
Republicans from the force of circum-
stances. The Republican party alone
upholds the principles upon which
their citizenship depends. Every right
the Negro has, either constitutional
or statutory, came from the Repub
lican party, and the Democratic party
has labored for so years to deprive
the Negro of the rights given to him
by the Republican party.

If the Negroes of this country have
learned anything from their exper-
ience during the last four years, it is
that for many years to come, the thing
to be feared most in politics, is the
election of a man to the presidency
of Southern birth, supported by a
Democratic Congress. Four years ago
there were thousands of Negroes who
had come to believe that it would be
wise to- divide their votes, and with
the hope of winning the friendship of
their Democratic neighbors, cast their
ballots for Woodrow Wilson for presi-
dent.
They reckoned without-a knowledge
of the depth and intensity of the
racial prejudice of the Southern peo-
pie. Their faith in Mr.. Wilson was
not warranted by the facts. They
overlooked the fact that the one con-
sistent policy of the Democratic party
has been its reprisals against the con-
stitutional rights of the Negro.
Placing ban upon the progress of
the Negro race is the only policy to
which President Wilson's administra-
ton has consistently adhered and the
only one that has been successful.
The president has succeeded in un-
doing in four years, what the Repub-
lican party has been fifty years ac-
.complishing for the advancement and
recognition of the rights of Negro
citizens.
Woodrow Wilson, after promising
the Negro fair play, celebrated his en-
trance into the White House by clos
ing the door of opportunity to the
Negro. By word and deed he has en-
couraged the enemies of the Negro
race and has fostered and intensified
race prejudice throughout the country.
Disfranchisement and segregation
are purely Democratic institutions,
but it was left to Woodrow Wilson to
be the first president of the United
States to stamp them with official
approval.

upon the part of our Republican voters
to be loyal to the entire Republican

pledging themselves to take the stan

XMAS AND THANKSGIVING.

These two joyous festive holiday
seasons are less than one month
apart, for Thanksgiving this year
comes on the last Thursday in the
month, which happens also to be the
last day in November. Christmas
coming on Monday makes it impera-
tive that you do your shopping days
earlier in the week before Xmas, so
that you won't be caught downtown in
a mad rush on Saturday night, De-
cember 23. For the following Sunday
is, most appropriately Christmas Eve
day, and if observed in rest and peace,
you will find yourself in a more ade-
quate frame of mind to enjoy your
holiday season. So, shop early in the
day, early, in the week and early in
the month Begin now to save and
plan. Watch our November advertis-
ing columns.

IMPROVEMENTS.

Under the efficient management of
Mr.. w. D. Wallace, the Crossett Boot
Shop has been making many new
friends and customers since he took
charge early in the spring. 1t is in
teresting to note that their growth
has been such as to make necessary
a re-arrangement of the interior so
that more seats for patrons have been
added Also the new decorations
make buying there a pleasure. Mr..
Wallace and his careful assistant are
expert statesmen and know how to
take the dread" out of shoe buying.

DEMOCRATS WOULD DlsFRAN-
cHiSE NEGROES.

Among the first bills introduced in
the 63rd Congress by a Democrat was
one to repeal the Fourteenth and Fif-
teenth Amendments of the Constitu-
tion of the United States, which con-
fer citizenship upon the Negro. This
was followed by other bills, introduced
by Democratic congressman and SEN
ators, to provide Jim Crow cars for
Negroes in the District of Columbia
to segregate the races in the races in
the departments at Washington; to
repeal the criminal statute which
Furnishes as a crime, conspiracy to in
jure, oppress, threaten or intimidate
any citizen of the United States; to
forbid the appointment of any Negro
soldier as commissioned officer of
the army or navy, and to prevent the
enlistment of Negroes in the military
service of the United States.

1t is impossible to exaggerate the
Importance to the negro voters of Mis-
souri, of giving their unanimous sup
port to the Republican candidate for
the United States Senate, Hon. Walter
S. Dickey of Kansas City.
Mr.. Dickey, by nature, education
and business training, is especially
well equipped for the place. His abil-
ity and integrity as well as his poll
tical principles and practices, aid in
making him the best qualified candi-
date for the position at this particular
time.
AS loyal Republican and political
organizer, no man in the state of Mis-
souri, has done more for the state.
He twice delivered the electoral vote
of Missouri to the Republican candi-
date for president and plotted the
Republican party of the state into
power the first time in 40 years. But
not the least among his qualifications
for the senatorship is his mastery
ability as a business man and finan-
cier, which has enabled him to rise
from the position of clerk, at a salary
of $50 year to the presidency of a
million dollar manufacturing corpor-
alton, with over twenty plants, with
branch establishments located in
eleven different states, and wage pay
ments annually amounting to about a
million and quarter dollars.
The efficient discharge of the
duties of United States senator re.
quires that kind of ability which is
possessed only by the master minds
that are able to promote and manage
great business enterprises. Only such
a mind is able to correctly understand
and adjust such intricate subjects as
the tariff and other scientific prob
lebs that directly affect the prosper
! ity of the nation.
Mr.. Dickey has proven himself t.
be man of wonderful capacity, alert
in judgment, quick and accurate il
responsible decision, skilled in the Sc
lection of men, equally keen in the
perception of opportunity and in the
apprehension of danger, decisive ant
vigorous in action.

souri, in the United States senate

Rube Fosters Team Plays Good Game
But Mendez Makes Sensational
Play Resulting In Their Defeat.

Somewhat to the disappointment of
the many fans who attended the Sc
ries of all-professional baseball play
ers last week between the Chicago
Giants and the Affiliations at Associ-
alton Park, there were no big spec
tacular plays in the game.
1t is true, however, that Mendez,
Affiliations shortstop, did some excel
lent work both in the field and at the
bat, and Donaldson, pitcher for the
All-Nation's team, made most splen-
did play on Monday, with Wickware
holding the ball.
On the whole, and despite these ex-
traordinary plays by Glasgow boys
team, the Giants played a better and
smoother game than the opposing
team. Yet Rube's team lost in the
final tally.

HUGHES A STRONG FRIEND OF
THE NEGRO.

The. only salvation of the Negro in
this election is to cast his solid vote
for Charles Evans Hughes and the
entire Republican ticket. -Four years
more of Wilson will mean political
damnation to the Negro voters of this
country. Hughes has always stood VI
boldly for justice for the Negro and
will, if elected, right the wrongs vii
son has done to the race.

Porter Carrying Pay Roll Cash Has
Fast Times for Few Hours.
AS was his custom on every Satur-
day morning, John Thompson, a Ne
gro porter in the saloon of Walter
Estes, 1902 Mulberry street, went to
the Union Avenue National bank last
Saturday to secure money with which
his employer expected to cash pay
checks. But unlike his custom of the
last few years, the porter failed to
return until the police found him sew
eral hours later.
With 1,34S belonging to Estes the
Negro stepped into saloon-not the
one in which he was employed. From
that time until his arrest the Negro
spent money lavishly. When the po-
lice found him at Eighteenth street
and Woodland avenue shortly after
noon, he had $40. The remainder of
the money, most of which was in
small bills, the porter had stuffed in
pockets of his clothes. The Negro
is being held at police headquarters.
