the reason:
Suburbanites who drive their cars to
their Offices In the city In the morning
cannot leave the autos parked In the
street as they could formerly. In a
section Of Chestnut street where there
are several big Office buildings, for ex-
ample, cars must not be left standing
for more than half an hour at time.
So every half hour the business man
sends his Office boy to the street to
drive his auto around the block. II his
Office boy isn't chauffeur the bust
ness man goes himself. But this takes
valuable time. and. added to the ex-
pense of starting up the car and NOV

Hence the demand for Office boys

BAD MANAGEMENT.

The recent national election which
resulted in the dire calamity of four
years more of Wilson, was brought
about by the very bad management
of the leaders of the G. %. P. Es-
pecially did they blunder in California
in not properly taking Hiram Johnson
into consideration and the state was
lost for Hughes by just 1887 votes
and Wilson won out.
The leaders of the G. o. P. did not
give the proper recognition the most
loyal class of voters-the colored peo-
PIE and but for their fealty and loyalty
to the Republican party Minnesota
would not have been in the Republican
column, as it is officially decided that
Hughes plurality in Minnesota was
only 1872.
The Republican campaign managers
had fund of $2,445,421 to make the
campaign with but they ignored the
colored newspapers. in the distribu-
ton of the same and it is now shown
that there was a surplus of 1885
which could not have been devoted to
a better channel than the loyal colored
newspapers.
Roosevelt told the truth, too, in the
Metropolitan Magazine in which he.
says, among other things:
I'VE have permitted our politicians,
our candidates for public offices, to
treat the promises made in party plat
forms and on the stump with a cynical
Indifference which reflects itself in
similar Indifference on the part Of the

DARWIN THEORY UPSET..

DR.. James M. Boldly, of Minneapo-
lis, as is we'll known, yields a trench
'ent pen; and, we are frequently re,
|galed with some undisputable evil
dences of his wisdom, thought, logic
and historic research in the columns
of the daily papers. His. latest effort
in that line appeared in mail to
the Editor" of the st. Paul Pioneer
Press; and, if what he states is true,
and it must so stand until disproved,
what he says ought to take some or
the conceit out of some of the white
people in this country who are from
missouri" Following is the article:
The Associated Press sends out the
news item that Prince George of Bat
tenberg, England, was recently
married to Russian countess, Node1a
de Torby, daughter of Grand Duke
Michael Michaelovitch of Russia, a
cousin of the car. The marriage
was witnessed by the King and Queen
of England and other members of the
royal family. The incident is worth
our notice, because it badly splinters
Charles Darwin's theory of "reversion
to type" An analysis of the gen
eology of this young Russian count
ess, who is now member of the
British royalty, shows that she is a
direct descendant of Pushkin, the
only poet that the Russian empire
has ever produced. Alexander Push
kin's father was Hannibal, the coal
black Negro slave of Peter the Great.
The young Russian countess is the
great-granddaughter of the Negro poet
Pushkin, and is accepted in Euro
pean royal circles, thus .associating
with the American Vanderbilts,
Astors, Thomas Nelson Pages of Viz.
ginia and others who go abroad and
break into the British court circles.
The incident also shows that the
Slavic race, which is of an Oriental
origin, absorbs all other races and
peoples with which it comes in con.
tact, making them an integral element
of the Russian empire. The great
Charles Darwin's postulate of the IRE.
version to type" and the conception of
Prof. Albert jerks of the University
of Minnesota, as regards the non
assimilation of the aliens who come
to our shores, and our utter failure to
assimilate the darker races are con-
trary to historic facts. The obituary
notice of Darwin's theory of "revers-
ion to type" has again been published,
and, like an old set of harness, it
breaks every time it is used, because
the leather is old and rotten.
